Error (-50) Outlook Sync'ing

I was excited about the prospect of Apple creating a tool to sync Outlook contacts and calendars!
I am receiving the error 'The iPod "Paul's iPod" cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50).'
When I try to uncheck the "Sychronize contacts" option, iTunes ends abnormally with the Microsoft error reporting dialog box, Send Error/Don't send.
Can anyone help?
Apple iTunes 5.0.0.35
Microsoft Outlook 2000

greetings,
I recently downloaded ipod agent prior to the release of itunes 5 so that i can sync my outlook with ipod. the program required another tiny program to enable it to tap into outlook. it seems outlook has a defense mechanism designed to prohibit external entry into its files without consent. it seems that itunes 5 needs the same tiny program, called express clickyes, found here for free: http://contextmagic.com/express-clickyes/
it will temporarily suspend outlook from blocking itunes. double click on the icon to toggle enable/suspend prior to synching. moreover, outlook needs to be opened prior to synching. i have tried this, and it works with itunes 5.
wish there was another way of doing this, but if a program like ipod agent, designed specifically to sync pc info needs it, i guess it will be necessary until outlook tweaks this.
hope this helps.

6670 Outlook sync'ing error

Hi,
I have a Nokia 6670 and am able to use various options in the Nokia PC Suite (version 6.84.10.4) including backup. However, when I try to Sync it with Outlook 2002 (via USB and Bluetooth), I get an error message saying "PC Sync has encountered a problem and terminated the synchronization". I have un-installed Nokia PC Suite and re-installed it.
What could the problem be? Is there another way to view my contacts in Excel? Please help, I'm desperate!
My PC is XP SP2.
Thanks

IPod Error message when Sync'ing using itunes

Every time I use itunes to sync my music onto my 5th generation iPod it does about... 50 files then i get the error message:
'attempting to copy to the disk "DARROL'S iPOD" failed because the disk could not be read or written to'
A few times i've managed to get all the music onto it but mostly I get that error message. I've done a full restore on the iPod twice but it still happens.
I resorted to using the Winamp plugin to transfer the music and that seems to work a lot better but it doesn't seem to give album art, would like to use iTunes to do it, any help would be good.

See this troubleshooting article.

IPad 2 gives an error message when sync'ing to iTunes on iMac

The iMac where iTunes sits gives an error message that the iPad is sync'd to another iTunes library "do you want to erase and sync?" we can get rid of the error message saying "cancel" but it still won't sync and the screen is on all night with this error while charging. Anyone have any ideas? Never sync'd "around..." to another library!!

Is there any chance you accidentally "deauthorized" your iTunes account? Make sure your account is authorized with your Apple ID. Unless you have a faster USB on your Mac, you're better off charging your iPad with the supplied 10 W wall charger. If you sync under your current circumstance you will lose you apps and synced content, which means you'll have to redownload your apps, etc.

E71 started to have errors on outlook sync

Using vista sp2 and outlook 2007 sp2
Sync has been running fine for 8 months
I only sync calendar and dont use exchange
however sync is now not picking up cal entries made on the phone
any ideas

On your computer you can go to start/all programs/palm/pim conduit sync/sync with outlook
If that path doesn't exist inserting your CD and selecting change synchronization method should also do the trick.

was this a result of updating my iphone to ios 4.2?
Yes. iOS 4.2.1 requires iTunes 10.1 or greater, which requires OS X 10.5.8 or greater.

Either the compnay doesn't both reading these boards, the community is dead, or the company has decided the problem is so rare they will not fix / look in to it. Sad either way.

Outlook Sync Error SOLVED - Multi-day repeating appointment cannot be converted for use on the Handheld...

*UPDATE 1/23/2009 07:08 AM* This is a partial fix. I no longer think the Recurrence Range is the culprit. It seems the Time Zones features between Outlook & Palm are not cooperating. This explains why my 12 am events are syncing as 6 pm the day before; I live in GMT-6:00 so it's moving my events ahead by 6 hours. Another event I set for 1 pm in Outlook was changed to 7 am on my Treo. I am going to start over and recreate each event, this time setting the Time Zones, which I hadn't done before. I tested it out and it worked with a single event... let's see how long it lasts. I've also found that using 'No Time' on my Treo is not compatible with Outlook. It's better to set a time with 0 minutes duration.
*UPDATE 1/23/2009 04:11 AM* This is a partial fix. My monthly and yearly problematic recurring events are now showing up at 6 pm the day before on my Treo, though my Outlook calendar is fine. I think this has to do with the Recurrence Range Start/End in Outlook, which is set automatically. If only there were a way to change this...
After a WHOLE LOTTA trial-and-error (like 3 days worth), I think I finally solved my OLERR:14-001 issue!
Problem: Syncing Palm Treo 755p calendar with Outlook 2007
Error Message (simplified):
HotSync session completed with messages on [date] [time]
HotSync session started on [date] [time], and completed in [0] seconds
Outlook Calendar synchronization completed with messages
Duration: [0] seconds
Outlook Calendar
The multi-day repeating appointment titled [event] beginning [date] [time] cannot be converted for use on the Handheld. Please divide the appointment up into single-days and re-synchronize.
OLERR:14-0001
- Desktop overwrite HH Sync
Note: You will likely have several of these ‘Multi-day’ instances in your hotsync log (I had 58). You may want to change Calendar in hotsync to "Desktop overwrites Handheld" after you get this error, to avoid erasing events while you are fixing this issue. Otherwise, you may have to restore them from a backup copy (if you have one) and start over. You can switch back once you’re through.
Solution: First, I tried this Palm KB Article: http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/NUA/launchKB.asp?c=31167. After this didn’t work for me… I did trial-and-error. I believe the problem is that each recurring event, which you set up as ‘All-day’, must be changed to have a duration of 0 minutes from within Outlook. I was able to change some events directly, but I found that some of the records had corrupted, and would just revert. My fool-proof solution was to recreate EVERY problematic event (yes, one-by-one) using the following steps:
Open Outlook
Go to your default calendar, where your events are synced
In the top menu choose ‘View’ > ‘Current View’ > ‘Recurring Appointments’
Open a ‘New Appointment’
Enter subject and other options, such as Categorize, Importance, Time Zones, or Reminder
Make sure starting and ending date & time are the EXACT same
Select ‘Recurrence’ & choose your pattern
I did not choose ‘No end date’ (hence the Palm article), but rather ‘End by:’ and typed in 2031, then pressed tab to auto-generate a suitable end date. I chose 2031 because that is last year my Treo’s calendar goes to. Click OK
Repeat for every event in your error log, until you get a clean "Desktop overwrites Handheld" hotsync (Outlook should be closed when you sync)
Switch Calendar in hotsync back to "Synchronize"
Even though I still get the message OLERR14:001, my syncs are successful. Now I will give my Treo time to see if the issue returns later. Until then, happy Outlook syncing and good luck!

Contacts and Calendar not sync'ing with Outlook 2010

All was fine today until (maybe coincidental - maybe not) I had a Microsoft Exchange email account added to my Outlook 2010. I have an iPhone 4, and I usually sync daily, especially when calendar or contact changes take place. I am currently not using the icloud, so all contacts and calendar events would be way too outdated.
I have checked my Outlook settings under "info" and cannot get my contacts and address to load. I even see the "Contacts syncing"..."calendar sync'ing" when the overall iTunes sync takes place with my iPhone.
Help!!

Yes, it is. Do you have Desktop Manager v6?
Download Desktop Manager from here:

Outlook sync issue--error ModName: applesyncmapiinterface.dll

just in the past week, I have been getting this error message (applesyncmapiinterface.dll) when syncing my iphone to my XP Pro PC. I just upgraded the new OS4 in I-tunes, and my sync still provides this error message. Any solutions?

The reason why the sync client error appears is because itunes will not sync a bad file from outlook (either a contact or a calendar entry) and so gives up on the operaton.
There is hope however! The only real way of getting this to work is to locate and delete/ replace the bad data.
There is no really easy way of scanning outlook for the bad data so this is the method that I use:
1. first try and sync phone/ipod with itunes - watch the top bar in itunes and see whether the "outlook sync client not working" appears during the attempt to sync contact or calendar - then you know whether the bad data is in your contacts folder or your calendar.
2. make a backup of yur contacts or calendar - file/ export to pst.
3. go to tools/find/advaced find and put nothing in the search box but press enter. The resultant search will be all of your contacts/ calendar entries.
4. now the clever bit: select all and delete - this will delete all of your entires (remember you have made a backup) but any corrupt files will not be deleted in this operation: thus you have identified the bad files (make a note of this file)
5 import your contacts/ calendar back from your backup - file/import pst.
6. Now simply copy down (with a pen and paper!) the information contained in the bad file - they normally read okay, delete the file and re-enter manualy.
6. hey presto.

Since I upgraded to iOS 7.1.2, new Outlook calendar and contact items will not sync to/from my iOS devices - I am not using the iCloud, just sync'ing direct to/from laptop. Does anyone have a solution?

Having trouble sync'ing. Receiving Overcapacity error on my 64GB iPhone 5. Backed up and restored but still having sync issues.

I have an iPHone 5 64GB with iTunes 11 installed on an 2 yr old HP laptop running Windows 7. I am having sync'ing issues. I am receiving an overcapacity error I have not seen before even though I can manually remove audiobooks I have previously loaded to get the overcapacity down below the available 64GB limit. I have removed most of them now and can get the sync to begin. Not sure if it will actually complete. But now I do not have but a relatively few audio books loaded. I have backed up and restored to see it that helps but am still getting the same overcapacity error. Seems whatever I had included was doubled in an "other" category. Also, in the recent upgrade to iTunes, it takes forever to sync when I change content. Sync'ing takes a lot longer than before. Has anyone else experienced similar performance issues.

Lawrence Finch has previously provided the following helpful info...
"Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
email messages and attachments
Reminders
Calendar entries
Contacts
Text messages (*** this can take up a lot of space)
MMS messages and attachments
Genius data
Music cover art
Operating system settings
Safari cache
bookmarks
Game Center status
Music catalog
If you have a lot of text messages stored, that can make "Other" very large. Another problem area is corrupted files. When app and data files become corrupted, they may end up in "Other". To fix that, perform a restore from a recent backup. That prevents corrupt files from showing up.

Outlook Sync Error Message

I'm getting the following error message from iTunes syncserver when trying to sync up my Outlook calendars.

Some of my calendar entries seem to be getting sync'd but the VAST majority of calendar entries are missing. My environment is as follows...
Windows XP Pro - SP3
iTunes - 9.1.1.12
iPod OS (32 Gig 3rd Gen) - 3.1.2
Outlook 2003 - SP3
I've tried most of the suggestions found here in this forum related to Outlook sync problems but nothing seems to make any difference...
Any suggestions?
Cliff

O.K. Now a follow up....I just upgraded to iTunes 9.2.x and what seems to be syncing is reoccurring calendar entries only. I have tried turning off the calendar sync..which asks me if I want to remove all calendar entries previously synched, to which I say yes. My calendar entries go away. I then turned the synching of calendars back on and the only entries that I see on the iPod are reoccurring calendar entries. NONE of the single calendar entries are showing up. The error message is also no longer appearing in the synch log....very strange.

Sync-ing groups with 9500 & Outlook

Hi, I use groups often. But sync-ing with Outlook seems to delete them, even if the group is present in Outlook too. Any sugestions?

This is something that Nokia needs to fix ASAP!!!
A few of us use Microsoft Outlook to organize our Contacts. Once you get more than a few numbers organizing them into categories: business, family, etc. makes makes it much easier to find the number you want.
It is great that Nokia can sync. with Outlook but not being able to sync with all of Outlooks groups makes the feature almost worthless.
If Nokia wants to sell a business smartphone then it MUST sync with business software, completely.
