How do I set up itunes sync with outlook to "replace information on this iphone" only? I do not want to do a two way sync.

I am tired of fighting sync incompatibilities between Outlook 2007 and I Tunes, and no longer want to do a two-way sync.
I still want my Outlook contacts and calendar on my iPhone and use advanced setup in iTunes to "replace information on this iPhone" only.
iTunes only offers the ability to do this on "the next sync only". Is there a way to set up iTunes to "replace information on this iPhone" every time I connect my phone?

Hi there Greg,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to always replace content on your iPhone 5S with content from Outlook on your PC, to do this you’ll just have to Reset the Sync History in iTunes as shown below.
Troubleshooting Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010 - Apple Support
To reset sync history:
Open iTunes.
From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Click the Devices tab.
Click the Reset Sync History button.
If the issue continues and you know all of the data is on the computer:
Reset the Sync History again using the steps above.
Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" select Contacts or Calendars.
Click Apply.
Cheers,

Sync Outlook: Advanced: Replace information on this iPhone (how to set as default)

Every time I sync Outlook with iTunes (iPhone 4s) I have to select -> Advanced -> Replace information on this iPhone, and then check Contacts and Calendar. I want this to be the DEFAULT action when I connect my iPhone. As it stands I have to turn on the "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" in Preferences so that I have a chance to turn on the Replace option in Info -> Advanced.

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

HT1386 Where did "Info Advanced Replace Information on this iPhone" go in iTunes 12?

On iTunes 12, I cannot seem to find the "Info > Advanced > Replace Information on this iPhone" functionality. I have a bunch of IMAP accounts, and while I could create or update them manually on the phone, that's extremely tedious. I can't seem to find this functionality in iTunes 12; has it been removed? Do we really have to create all accounts manually.
(Note: This has nothing to do with iCloud; this is for IMAP mail accounts.)

email account info no longer syncs. (way back from iTunes 11).
Do we really have to create all accounts manually.
Yes.
Or just restore your new iPhone from the backup of yoru old iPhone.

My computer crashed hard drive was replaced and now I have lost my music. Am trying to sync with my music from my iPad and iPhone but it is not working what is the problem

I need help please! My computer crashed lost all data including my music. Want to sync music from my ipad and/or iphone but it is not working. What could be the problem how do I tackle it?

Syncing only works from your computer to your iPad/iPhone, not the other way around. So you can only transfer your purchased music from the iPhone to your computer.

How bad was the crash? Had the drive to be replaced? Or is there a possibility to use data recovery software on that drive?

HT1351 I have 2 ipods -1st generation Nano and I pod Touch. I tunes will not sync with the former. It appears this has only been a problem since downloading I Tunes 11. On connecting the Nano I Tunes does not seem to recognise it in any shape or form.

Old Nano will not sync with I Tunes ? dates to downloading I Tunes 11 Using original connections ? Any comments

Never mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.

After right-clicking the Firefox Icon, a window pops up with one of the titles being "Frequent." Web sites are always being added to this section that I do NOT want. Is there a way to control the number of listings under "Frequent?"

After right clicking the Firefox Icon, a window pops up above the icon with three sections in it. Two are titled, they are "Frequent" and "Tasks."
The "Frequent" section each time I see it, has added previous sites that I have visited. This list then has lots of duplicates in it. I do not need that, and would like to keep this listing a a favored few.
Is there a way to stop having superfluous web-sites added to the "Frequent" list ??
Thanks!

ICal two way sync by CALDEV?

Hi I've set my google account up to sync with my iCal but I can't see that it is syncing with google calendar, but google calendar is syncing with it. If that makes sense. It's really important that I get the two way sync so I can get my calendar on my phone!
Help!!!!!

Hi,
In iCal's Preferences, Accounts tab, when you select the account. What does it say for the 'Refresh calendars:' option?
Best wishes

Hello, heatsiphonman,
I am having the exact same issue with my 5G iPod. I tried a clean restart (with no memory of open windows), and all the other suggestions via the support website and it's still a no-go. Not sure where to go from here. It seems like it may be a Lion issue or a combination of Lion and iTunes 10.5. I may take it in to an Apple store and see if I can get it to sync there. Meanwhile, I'll keep a close eye on this topic to see if anyone else might be having this issue.
Mike.

IPhone won't sync with Outlook calendars

My iPhone was set up and syncing fine with my work email address (Outlook 2010). Then I had a second email account added to my Outlook so that I could get within an agency's address book and such. Once that happened, it stopped syncing. I've tried clicking in iTunes to "Replace information on this iPhone" and resetting the sync history. No dice. I've tried uninstalling iTunes and Apple device support and reinstalling, and that didn't help. In iTunes I have the choice of All calendars or Select calendar, but only one calendar (called "Calendar") is my option, and it doesn't sync either of my Outlook calendars.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Just to add to this. Another thing I thought of, is:
If your outlook is connecting to an Exchange server (this includes hotmail services, MSN services and Live services) did you set up the iPhone mail account as 'exchange too'?
If so, the iTunes won't need to sync mail data, calendars and tasks with your iPhone as all of this data is stores centrically on the server. Your iPhone only pulls the last 'x amount of days' OR the exchange server pushes the last 'x amount of days' worth of data.
Because of this, there is nothing to sync. When you add a contact to iCal on the iPhone, it should sync with the server. IF NOT, check yours ync settings on the iphone mail, calendars and contacts setting for that particular account.
OTHER SCENARIO: This applies to WebDAV calendars too.
OTHER SCENARIO No 2: Read my previous post. If that doesn't work, then I would suggest referring to Microsofts Outlook KB's about external programs being blocked access to Outlooks Calendars Stores.
