IPhone 3G cannot sync contacts/calendar with iTunes 7.7 in Vista

My environment:
Computer - PC
OS - Windows XP Pro SP2
Apple Products - iPhone 3G with Itunes 7.7
Software - Miscrosoft Office with Outlook 2003
Laptop Vaio FZ21M
OS - Windows Vista SP1
Apple Products - iPhone 3G with Itunes 7.7
Software - Miscrosoft Office with Outlook 2007
When I connect my iPhone 3G to the laptop, iTunes launch, but in Info tab I don't get the option to sync Contacts or Calendar. The only message that appears is "Your contacts are being pushed to your iPhone over the air from Microsoft Exchange"
On the other hand when I connect iPhone 3G to desktop with Windows XP SP2, I get the option to sync contacts with Outlook/Gmail Address Book/Yahoo Address Book, etc. Today I performed an update to iTunes, installing version 7.7.046 ,but the problem persists.
A collegue of mine has excactly the same problem, he is also using a laptop running Windows Vista SP1 , iTunes 7.7 but Outlook 2003 instead. When he connects iPhone 3G, he doesn't get the option to sync Contacts or Calendar. Email sync option is available.
Is there anything we can do?

I had the same problem with my 3G phone. I solved it as follows
1) Go to preferences in your address book and delete the iCloud. This will revert your address book to 'On My Mac'.
2) Turn off your iCloud account in system preferences.
3) Run iTunes, enable sync contacts and under advanced, replace information on this phone, enable contacts.
4) Press apply button and sync should begin. Itunes will now load your contact file into the phone.
5) Re-enable your iCloud account.

TS3274 why i cannot sync the iPad with iTunes

Can somebody help? why i cannot sync the ipad with the itunes right after i have synced my iphone sucessfully.
they are both with the latest vesions. the dialogue box keeps on "dong..dong...dong" all the time and is saying "itunes could not connect to this iphone. This iphone is no longer connected".

I have no clue what "dong, dong, dong" means unless you actually referring to sounds cpming from the computer.
Eject the iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and try again.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Cannot get iTunes to sync Contacts & Calendars with Outlook

I updated iTunes to V 10.5 and updated both my iPhone 4 & iPad 2 to iOS 5 without any problems. All the apps updated smoothly. I just cannot sync with Contacts or Calendars from Outlook - keep getting the message "iTunes could not sync information to the iPhone...because a sync session could not be started. I've also Restored the iPhone. I've gone through all the suggestion in Apple Support including removing iTunes and related applications completely and downloading and re-installing iTunes. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit & Outlook 2010. Has anybody found a solution that works?

Do you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer ? Have a look at the troubleshooting on this page and see if it helps fix it : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2690 (or if you are on a Mac and have xcode installed on it : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3744)

TS4062 i cannot sync my phone with itunes because my software is 10.5.8 so new itunes version will not download. How else can i sync iphone to my mac?

i cannot sync my iphone with itunes because my software is too old- 10.5.8. The new itunes version will not download. How else can i sync my iphone to my mac?

You need to buy and install a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD; once it's installed, run the Software Update pane of System Preferences twice.
There is no other way to sync it, but content can be downloaded directly from the iTunes Store servers; for non-purchased music, this requires signing up for iTunes Match, which costs more than the DVD.

Iphone 3G not syncing Windows XP with iTunes 10.6.3.25

ever since i installed the update to iTunes (10.6.3.25) i can't sync my iPhone 3G with Outlook Express in Windows XP - has anyone else had this problem?

The following are supported for Windows XP (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296):
Syncing Contacts with Windows Contacts
Sync Calendars with Outlook 2003/2007/2010
Syncing with Outlook Express isn't listed as a supported program.

Syncing Contacts/Calendars with two computers?

Hi,
I'm using my iPod touch more as a PDA than iPod and want to be able to sync my Contacts and Calendars with both my home Mac and work Mac. Right now I have it sort of working; at home I have it set to sync everything (Music, Movies, Photos, Info, etc.). On my work computer I have it just set to sync "Info".
The problem is that every time I plug it into the "other" computer, the Sync checkboxes for Contacts and Calendars are turned off. So I have to click them 'on' and hit "Merge" to merge the data.
That isn't a show-stopper, because it does work, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make those settings 'sticky' so I don't have to keep reselecting Sync. It's just more of a nuisance than anything...
Thanks!

I guess this raises more questions for me. I tried synching contacts and calendars from the two computers, but with iTunes set for syncing different groups on each computer. That did not work - whichever groups were on the iPod from one computer disappeared and were replaced when I synced to the second computer.
The text you referred to implies (to me) that I can change or add contacts/events and they will be tracked on all 3 devices, but all 3 devices have to be syncing to all contacts and groups. Is this correct?
Thanks again
If you originally chose to replace the contacts on the iPhone with contacts from the computer, the contacts will not be merged on the following syncs. You can reset the sync history on the computer before syncing, and then choose merge. This would make the contacts and calendars look the same on both devices.
If you want to have the same information on all three devices(or more), it would be better to setup an Exchange or MobileMe account.

Retired. How do I delete Enterprise from 4S AND sync contacts/calendars to iTunes

After I started to use my personal iPhone 4S to get work e-mails, I was told by an Apple supervisor that it was not possible to sync my contacts and calendar to iTunes. To get this info, I actually spoke to several techs and supervisors before someone authoratatively told me I could not do it. I recently retired and my work email has been disabled. I went to delete it and got a message saying that related contacts and calendars would be deleted. So how do I work through this. I want to keep all my contacts (I have LOTS) and my calendar?

Contacts and calendars synced with an Exchange server are the property of the company that owns the server. They can not be easily 'moved' or copied to another address book or calendar.
There are some 3rd party apps in the app store that claim to be able to do this for contacts. I do not know if there are ay that will do so for calendar entries or not.
Not having personal experience with any of them, I can't make a specific recommendation.

Cannot Sync Ipod Classic with Itunes 11

After installing Itunes 11, I cannot sync my Ipod Classic. It has worked perfectly up until this version. Here are the options I like:
Open Itunes when... -- ON
Sync only checked... -- OFF
Convert higher... ON (128) (I have a LOT of music I like to fit on this little ipod)
Manually manage... -- OFF
Enable Disk Use... -- OFF
I have tried restoring the ipod and resyncing everything, but that doesn't work eiter.
I also got some errors about not being able to copy some podcasts (like 100 of them) when I tried syncing after restoring, but I have seen that before and just ignored it and it still gets stuck.
It gets stuck around song 5, I've left it running for two days and still no progress. Even checking "On this iPod" shows me that no songs have sync'd.
Help?
Robb

Update: More information and how I've temporarily solved this problem. I installed the new iTunes 11 on two computers when it came out both of which have the same specs. One was an upgrade from most previous version of itunes, the other was a new install. My idea was to move my library to my other laptop as the old one was running out of space.
I copied my iTunes library over to my other laptop, installed iTunes and started making adjustments like deleting smart playlists and turning off genius. My thinking was to see if i could get itunes to run faster on my other laptop. It did run alot faster with all the genius playlists btw.
I now have my music in two different locations; same everything minus some smart playlists. Long story short, my identical playlists that where not syncing did sync from my original laptop. so there is something different between my two laptops that is causing the sync not to work, again my guess is converting tracks to acc. Maybe the upgraded itunes has files that my new install itunes does not which allow conversion of songs to ACC.
Good news is iTunes now allows you to have multiple locations without deleting your iPod so I can retransfer all my music on my old laptop and keep the library on my new laptop. At least until Apple comes up with a fix.
Good luck, I'll drop more info if anything changes.

HT201253 I cannot sync my 5S with ITunes. I can sync my iPad with same cord and computer

I recently sent my 5S through the washing machine and got a replacement 5S. I am running Windows 7. I was able to "restore" it from iTunes without any issues other than I hadn't back up in a month. Now when I try to sync with iTunes it gets to step 5 of 5 and I get a "windows message that iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down". I can sync my iPad using the same cord, computer, and program with no issues. I went through Apple support and uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes under their guidance. I was then transferred to another level of tech support and got cut off. I have not heard back and have tried to reopen the case without success so I am hoping someone has a way to resolve this issue so I can back up my phone. Thanks

I had the same problem and this worked...

Cannot sync the ipad with iTunes

I synced the new iPad with iTunes and every photo I had on the Mac (I didn't know that I wouldn't be ask first) went to the iPad. Now I cannot sync the iPad to delete the photos because there is not enough memory to properly sync with iTunes. Can anyone help me correct this?

This is not selected by itself - this is selected under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, which must be manually selected or is selected automatically when transferring the backup from another iOS device to the iPad if this is selected under the Photos tab for the other iOS device.
Have you tried deselecting Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes?

IPhone 3G 2.1 connection error with iTunes 8 on Windows Vista Enterprise

I was previously able to connect my iphone with my work computer (Windows Vista Enterprise) and it would recognize my phone. However, since I updated my iphone to version 2.1, it will not recognize the phone and gives me the following error message:
"iTunes could not connect to the iphone because an unknown error occured (0xE8000024)."
I am able to connect my phone with version 2.1 to my home computer running Windows XP SP2.
Any idea what may be causing the connection error in Windows Vista?

Hey TranceCadet,
This could be caused by a USB connection issue.
Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to a high speed USB port on the PC and not plugged into a hub, monitor, or keyboard. Disconnect any other USB devices, other than the keyboard and mouse.
This article has some general USB troubleshooting tips: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286
You may also want to disable or reconfigure any security software. This article will walk you through putting the PC in a selective startup mode, which will bypass most application conflicts.
