HTC Sync has stopped working since installation of Gingerbread

As the category of this board would suggest, I have an HTC Droid Incredible phone.
I am running Outlook 2007 on a Windows 7 OS platform.
I have been running HTC Sync between phone and Outlook for 1.5 years.
As I use Outlook as my MASTER contacts list, and since I NEVER add or modify a contact on my phone, the contacts on the phone are expendible!
NOTE: I am ONLY syncing CONTACTS. (Calendar is already stored in Google Calendars, and that's still working perfectly.)
I have an older version of HTC Sync (2.0.25) on my computer, because I was advised some time ago by Verizon Wireless Support to use THAT version.
Only days ago Verizon upgraded my phone's OS to "Gingerbread" (Android Version 2.3.4, build 4.08.605.2).
NOW when I try to sync, I get these error messages on computer:
Result: Synchronization failed
Errors: 2 General
Error due to: Connection to mobile phone timed out
In the past, if I had trouble with HTC Sync, normally I would delete all contacts on phone and "repair" via HTC Sync, overwriting phone with Outlook. But I'm afraid that if I try that, and HTC Sync still does not work, I will have to start loading contacts on phone MANUALLY, and I have THOUSANDS of contacts I use/need.
Please advise.

WOW! I had NOT seen that website! I was Google'ing for solutions before I was interrupted by other stuff. I'll have to look thru this website.
I found ANOTHER supposed funtioning software: http://www.pppindia.com/contacts-sync/
I installed it, tried it, no dice. I have really good Anti-Virus software, I'm even shutting it off and turning it back on while testing. Hmmm....
So thanx AGAIN! I'll keep you (and this board) informed if I find something that works for me.

  • Face time has stopped working since update on iPad and iPhone

    My face time has stopped working since both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S did their iOS 6.1 update. They just say that a connection cannot be made, or FaceTime unavailable. Both devices are sitting beside each other, both have excellent wifi. If you try to FaceTime one of the devices, it will ring once and then lose the connection. Apple account details are all fine, FaceTime is switched on, on both. Kind of lost and frustrated now

    Hey guys,
    So I also noticed a few weeks ago facetime stopped working on my iphone but was still working on my ipad2 and macbook pro.
    Phone - iphone 4
    os version - 6.1.3
    carrier - at&t 14.2
    location - usa
    I use the same apple id for all devices
    I searched online for a fix and/or troubleshooting help. I tried alot of the suggestions on this discussion as well as others but nothing seemed to work. Out of frustration, I finally reached out to apple tech support. I went through the entire trouble shooting steps with an apple technician and was even transferred to a senior advisor for additional help. We tried everything from resetting passwords, resetting icloud accounts, resetting phone settings, checking network settings, resetting date & time, resetting location, making sure push and multitasking functionalities were working properly, etc. We spent a couple hours troubleshooting trying everything but nothing worked. The apple tech said I would have to restore the os and if that didn't work, the only other thing to do would be to send in my phone. But he did stress that I had to restore as a NEW device.
    I backed up my phone using iclould and my computer (everything is synced) and restored as a new device. I tested facetime and it worked, however my phone was back to factory position which is not ideal. So I went to itunes and restored my most resent backup. I got all my phone contents back but FaceTime no longer worked. I called the apple senior advisor back and he said I would not be able to restore from a backup because there seemed to be an issue with it that prevented FaceTime from working properly. So I backed up what I could to itunes and iCloud then restored my phone as new. After the restore, it prompted me to install the carrier software update which I did. Then I used itunes to sync my music, apps, contacts, mail, videos, pics, etc. I did this yesterday and facetime has been working properly since then. However certain things I was not able to recover.
    So far, these are the things I noticed have been lost with the restore:
    - all my settings (everything went back to default/factory)
    - voicemail messages greater than 30 days old
    - all text and iMessages (but I still have copies of imessage conversations on my iPad and mac)
    - data stored within apps (you start fresh like when you first downloaded the app. some apps i have online accounts that sync but most apps the data is lost)
    - screen display configurations
    - notes that were only on phone and not synced with an email account
    Out of all my research, this has been the only thing to get facetime working again. But on the downside, it does take a lot of time to backup, restore, re-sync, and then set up my phone similarly to how I previously had things. The big thing for me was the loss of my apps data. I wish there was a way to restore that. But when all is said and done, I'm glad to have FaceTime back on my phone.
    If you are not quite ready to restore, check out this discussion for other suggestions you can try first:

    I hope you guys find this useful.

  • MobileMe and iOS 4- Syncing Has Stopped Working

    Since "upgrading" to iOS 4, MobileMe Calendar Syncing has stopped working. This is the worst upgrade. Slow iPhone, spotty usability, and now MobileMe syncing isn't working.
    Anyone else having the same problem? Any fixes. I've tried the usual. Push: On, MobileMe Sync: On, etc....

    Like you, I ran into MobileMe synchronisation problems after I upgraded my iPhone’s software to iOS 4. I have an iMac running under Mac OS X version 10.6.4 and a 3G iPhone. I was able to solve the problem with the following “brute-force” (but very simple) sequence, which I also used after prior iPhone software updates and it has always worked for me. Note that it involves the removal of all contacts and calendars from the iPhone so if you are worried that you may not succeed in copying the data back, you may want to look for another solution.
    (1) Make sure that MobileMe is synchronized with iCal and Address Book:
    Open MobileMe Sync Preferences
    Click on the “Sync Now” button
    (2) Back-up the data in the iCal and Address Book applications (just in case):
    File / Export / iCal Archive
    File / Export / Address Book Archive
    (3) To avoid erasing the data on the computer if something goes wrong:
    Open MobileMe Sync Preferences
    Select the “Sync” tab
    Un-check “Synchronize with MobileMe”
    (4) On the iPhone:
    Settings / Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    In the “Accounts” section, select the MobileMe account
    Turn “Contacts” off
    Select “Delete from My iPhone”
    Turn “Calendars” off
    Select “Delete from My iPhone”
    (5) Check that all contacts and calendars have been deleted from the iPhone, then do:
    Settings / Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    In the “Accounts” section, select the MobileMe account
    Turn “Contacts” on
    Turn “Calendars” on
    (6) Wait (it may take a while) until all contacts and calendars have been updated on the iPhone, then do:
    Open MobileMe Sync Preferences
    Select the “Sync” tab
    Check “Synchronize with MobileMe”
    After having done all this, changes made to contacts or calendars on the iMac or iPhone were properly synchronized with MobileMe. You may have tried something similar without success, but if you have not, hopefully the above will work for you too.

  • HT1414 my top button has stopped working since the ios7 update can you help the shop said its not directly the button as its clicking properly

    my top button has stopped working since the ios7 update and the shop said the actual button is working ok does anybody have an answer for this

    i found out my prob!
    here is what you do.
    go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
    click "software updates".
    click "installed software"
    if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
    go to mail.
    click "mail" at the top.
    click "preferences...".
    find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
    hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
    its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

  • My time capsule has stopped working since installing Yosemite. It says to wait to tell me how much longer but it stays that way for hours.

    My time machine has stopped working since I upgraded to Yosemite. It gets to the point that says it will estimate the time remaining, but it never gives me that answer and it just stays on that page and never completes it's backup. This is a brand new macpro, so I wanted to capture the previous info on my computer I was able to put my external hard drive on new computer and it did the migration and all my old info returned. However, two days later I wanted to do a backup using Time Machine with my Western Digital Mac external hard drive but it won't progress past saying how much time remaining, even after several hours of sitting there.

    You do need to wait a long time.. as it takes a long while for Yosemite to index the existing backup if it is large.
    Here is Apple's List of bad things that happen to TM in Yosemite.
    OS X Yosemite: Time Machine problems
    It is clearly no where near as comprehensive as it needs to be.
    I presume your disk has your old backup.. it may be better to keep the old backup.. save that for the future.. and get a new disk and start a fresh clean backup.
    I would also recommend using Carbon Copy Cloner or similar for the time being. Make a bootable clone backup of your drive to a new external drive.. it is really superior in lots of ways to Time Machine. And does show you what it is doing.
    For TM at least you can still use the widget so you have some log access to that TM does.

  • Snapchat has stopped working since the update

    Snapchat has stopped working since the update, plus my phonebook still doesn't work after going in setting and clearing the data etc etc or running a repair???

    Sorry to hear that you have issues after the update-
    Have you tried to uninstall and then install the app again after the update? This may be needed with some apps when you update Android.
    Regarding contacts, please continue that discussion in the first thread: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z2/phonebook-contacts-not-working-since-update/m-p/972365

  • My home screen button has stopped working since updating to ios7 (iphone4)

    My home screen button has stopped working since updating to ios7 (iphone4)
    Originally i noticed that it was less responsive but now it does absolutely nothing.
    I have cleaned the button and also tried calibrating (opening an apple app, holding the power button and then the home button)
    Nothing has helped and I am forced to use assisted touch.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Craig.

    No advice? I suppose I could try sacrificing an android to the apple gods.....

  • My music software has stopped working since I installed ios7,what to do?

    When i downloaded the ios7 some of my music has stopped working and come up with a red square and a circle around it, I've tried the suggestions but none of them have worked so far any advice??

    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

    Try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is with in the one-year warrranty, not abused and defective Apple will replace it.

  • Licensing of this product has stop working (since uninstall using your uninstaller)

    Since couple of months ago (May be june or July)  i have notifications below when i want to use Adobe Premiere Pro cs4
    "Licensing of this product has stop working,
    This product has has encounter problem which requeire that you restart your computer before it can be launched.
    ...bla bla bla....
    error:5
    http://www.adobe.com/support/"
    I know this happened since i uninstalled "adobe reader" using Your Uninstaller software. This software notified me to choose delete adobe completely. Then i choose yes, so all my adobe apllication were deleted.
    Then i installed again using cd that i bought from local distributor here.
    UNFORTUNATELY, My Adobe Premiere Pro were not working.
    T.T
    For couple of weeks i looked for the solution on google. i have tried many things,
    i have read and done everything what explained in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405970.html and http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_cpsid_49485_en-us,
    i have searched this problem in this forum too few months ago, and coould find any solution.
    And now i really want to know why this happened, I have reinstall again and again with no success, :'(
    thanks

    Beyond the steps in the Adobe KB, and those outlined in other threads, there is not much that any of us can do.
    I, and many others, have found that Adobe Customer Service (not Technical Service) is good and quick, at handling licensing issues. The last time that I needed them, it took all of 5 mins., including hold-time, to get a licensing issue fixed. Now, that was some years ago, and things seemed to have deteriorated, Adobe has made a pledge to improve C/S to how it used to be. Have not used them recently, so have no current comments, but I would call them. Remember, Customer Service, and not Technical Service.
    Good luck, and hope that they can help you.

  • The App Store search has stopped working since I updated to 8.2 on iPad

    Hi
    since I updated my software to 8.2 on my iPad the App Store search has stopped working but other features work on the App Store only the search option is not responding and says " the App Store is temporary unavailable please try again later "
    I have turned my iPad off and on couple of times but with the same result each time.
    the 8.2 update is for the new Apple watch and health app.
    can any one help?

    Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
    Do not change your settings.

  • My built in camera has stopped working since Skype...

    Since recent Skype updates the camera has stopped working - but it works in other applications. I am running on Windows 7 - do I need to uninstall and load n older version - anyone else suffering these problems?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You didn't state what camera you are using. There have been some issues with Dell XPS models. If that is the case, the problem has not been resolved as of yet. You can try downgrading to an older release to see if the camera works once again.
    You have two options to try to resolve this:
    1. Try 3rd party software like manycam (manycam.com). See if your camera works in the manycam software. If it does, select the manycam virtual driver in Skype and see if your camera still operates with the latest release. If you go this route be sure to do a custom install to install only the main program.
    2. Your other option would be to revert/downgrade to a prior release or a version that exists to address video/camera compatibility issues like the Skype special version:
    Skype 6.3
    http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.3.0.105.msi
    Skype Special Version (6.1.999.130):
    http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-sse
    Depending on which versions work may determine if the compatibility issue was introduced in the newest versions or if you camera is not compatible with the new way video is rendered (Skype 6.2 and above).

  • Hotspot has stopped working since downloading Lollipop 5.0

    I have a HTC M8 and since down loading Lollipop the Hotspot has stopped functioning, it connects via Wi-Fi to my Samsung note but will not hook up to data transfer, have done 2 factory resets, first one fixed the insane battery usage but no joy with the Hotspot, the APN is ok also and have tried setting up a new one with no success, looking for a solution please

    I have the same issue.Updated HTC One M8 to Lollipop and hotspot no longer works correctly.Other devices can connect to the hotspot but there is no internet. I have tested it on numerous devices to rule out a faulty receiving device.Other forums are suggesting that the carrier has not correctly updated their system to lollipop yet so as to enable hotspot or tethering functionality.it worked fine on the previous version of android.Am hoping a future update will resolve this- else an update on the telstra system that may be blocking tethering on lollipop?Can the original poster advise if taking it to the telstra shop/ getting a replacement unit fixed the issue?cheers ps. i have performed three factory resets. twice without restoring from backup and once - the latest with restore. at all times i tested hotspot gave the same result - can connect to it, but no data/internet.a google search shows some others have found this issue as well.
