IPhone Sync Problems with VISTA After iTunes Upgrade to 7.4

Upon upgrading to iTunes 7.4 I was unable to sync my Outlook calendar or contacts to the iPhone. Called Apple Support that they seemed to know nothing about this problem general problem despite all of the discussions on this and many other tech. boards.
After being told remove and reinstall iTunes and Outlook, set-up a new user account, etc... (none of which worked) I finally concluded that perhaps the .pst file being used by outlook was simply incompatible with iTunes for some reason (e.g. unsupported recurring calendar items).
SOLUTION: Create a new outlook .pst data file. Once created, open up that new file along with the defective .pst file. Then, simply change the view of calendars and contacts in your old calendar such that you can see all of the items in a list. Highlight the items you want to keep and simply click-and-drag them to the nes .pst file. This solves all of the sync. problems I had post-7.4 upgrade. It takes less than 3 minutes to complete this painless fix.
This was so annoying for me that I'd be happy to help someone complete this simple task if they need help. < Edited by Host, for your protection, no personal information please. >

Then it would appear to be an issue with your router. What router? Model? Is the firmware up to date?

  • New iTunes, same sync problems with Vista

    Hi
    I got really excited when I saw in the fixes for the latest iTunes 8.1 for Windows that they had fixed sync problems with iPhones. They haven't!
    On Vista Ultimate the sync has always been a problem, with either OutlookSyncClient or AppleMobileSync (or both) frequently crashing. With the previous couple of versions of iTunes, in my case, it has happened every third or fourth sync. Now with the new version it is almost every sync. It took me five disconnect and reconnect attempts and a couple of reboots to succcessfully sync this morning.
    I've tried every fix I can find on line. I read that the Outlook sync problem was caused by an incompatibility with pst files that were not unicode. Oddly, I wasn't supposed to be able to sync with an old pst at all, but it did work erratically. Converting my pst to unicode didn't make any difference.
    With the AppleMobileSync problem, I read that completely removing all Apple software in a particular order, restarting each time between removals, then clean reinstalling, should solve the problem. It didn't.
    Now the problem is even worse and I'm at my wits end on it. Come on Apple, get a grip!
    If anyone can shed any light on this I would be really grateful!

  • Problem with Java after System Upgrade to 10.5.7

    Hi,
    I am facing problem with Java after having run Software upgrades.
    Here is the whole story. I recently moved to iMac 10.5.6 from PowerPc 10.4. On this new machine I was having problem running a 3rd party application, which requires JVM. As this application worked well on Tiger, I decided to upgrade JVM on my iMAC using Software Upgrade(was I insane!!). As I like my systems to be updated (as with linux on my personal machine) I clicked "install all". As a result I have the following upgrades run on my machine:
    2009-05-20 13:12:01 +0200: Installed "Mac OS X Update Combined" (10.5.7)
    2009-05-20 13:12:10 +0200: Installed "Remote Desktop Client Update" (3.2.2)
    2009-05-20 13:12:26 +0200: Installed "Java For Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2" (1.0)
    2009-05-20 13:58:36 +0200: Installed "Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 3" (1.0)
    2009-05-20 13:58:44 +0200: Installed "AirPort Utility Software Update 2009-001" (5.4.1)
    2009-05-20 13:59:07 +0200: Installed "QuickTime" (7.6)
    2009-05-20 13:59:22 +0200: Installed "iPhoto Update" (7.1.5)
    2009-05-20 13:59:28 +0200: Installed "iLife Support" (9.0.2)
    2009-05-20 13:59:38 +0200: Installed "iDVD Update" (7.0.3)
    2009-05-20 13:59:58 +0200: Installed "iTunes" (8.1.1)
    But now, simply running $ java on the prompt hangs, i.e. it takes no action.
    $ which java
    /usr/bin/java
    $ ls -ltr /usr/bin/java
    May 20 15:09 /usr/bin/java -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java
    $java (no response)
    Here is the output of $ top
    PID COMMAND %CPU TIME #TH #PRTS #MREGS RPRVT RSHRD RSIZE VSIZE
    703 java 98.8% 0:38.54 3 110 72 480K 184K 1964K 40M
    Any clues?
    cheers

    Hi man,
    In the wake of this java problem I resorted to keep working on my old machine, and today in my spare time I tried to fix this new machine.
    So I execute $java on prompt, and then try to check the files it has opened, using lsof -p pid
    I see it referring to
    /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/bin/java
    isn't this usually the JAVA_HOME
    However, executing $/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/bin/java
    hangs!!
    but
    $/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/bin/java
    works!!
    $ pwd
    /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home/bin
    $ ./java -version
    java version "1.6.0_07"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06-153)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_07-b06-57, mixed mode)
    So, I changed the links as follows

    Linking my Current and CurrentJDK to 1.6 and it works!
    However, shall that be the reason!
    what is in your /Versions/Current/
    I got the following
    $ ls /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current
    CodeResources Frameworks JavaVM
    Commands Headers Resources
    There is no /Home in here, which is usually the case for /1.5 or /1.6
    Anyways, things seems to work for the moment. Lets see if I get problem with using Java.
    thanks

  • IPhone sync problem with iCal and Address Book

    I have a new iPhone 4 that is not syncing contacts or events. It doesn't seem to matter whether the event or contact is created in my iMac or on the iPhone. Either way, the data doesn't move. During the iPhone synch process, where iTunes tells you what is going on, syncing calendars and contacts doesn't even appear. When I had my iPod Touch, all worked well. I saw a post about resetting in iSync, etc., but when I look there, I don't even see my iPhone, and so far I can't add it. My only option there is to add a bluetooth device. So I need some help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Chuck

    You're welcome.
    You can't hurt anything by resetting the sync history on your Mac, and doing so may resolve the problem.
    Syncing contacts direct with a supported Address Book application and syncing calendar events direct with a supported Calendar app on your computer via the iTunes sync process has nothing to do with a MobileMe account - a trial account or otherwise. Completely separate and not related even if you are syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone. If you are doing so with your iPhone, syncing direct with the Address Book and iCal via the iTunes sync process is not required.

  • Iphone 4 s syncing problem with ios 7 & itune 11

    I have updated my iphone 4s with ios 7 - also i have updated my itune with version 11 - for some reason i can not sync my music from my itune to iphone. It freeze at waiting for changes to be applied and then nothing -

    bes2dt10
            Nov 22, 2013 8:59 AM    
    The easy and quick way to fix this is to connect your iphone to itune...
    1.Go into your iphone (Top right of itune).
    2.You'll see 3 different topics in bold - Iphone, backups and options.
    3.Go to options and uncheck all the boxes (make sure you remeber what was been check before you uncheck anything in the boxes).
    4.Check only - manually manage music and video and press apply (bottom right of itune).
    5.Wait for it to finish the process (it should delete everything).
    6.Then it is up to you.... either go by each tap and sync each one (info, apps, tones, music, movies, TVshows, podcast and photos) or uncheck manually manage music and check whatever it used to be before you unchecked everything.
    7.All done, Everything should be working perfectly.
    Please shared to other that needed help

  • Sync problems with iPhoto (Last iTunes & iPhoto & iOS)

         Some people have problems to with the music sync but anyone has the same problem but with the photos? iTunes doesn´t count the number of photos that suposse to be listed when you select your album on itunes/device/photos... I have once the problem with the music but it cames right after delete and resync my playlists.
         Thnks!
         Tested on iPhone 5 and iPad2 Mavericks iTunes 11.1.2 and iOS 7.0.3 Same problem with iPhoto 9.4.3 and 9.5."

    I have the same issue - iTunes 11.1.2, iOS 7.0.3, Mac OS X Mavericks, iMac 2011, iPhone 5S - Aperture 3.5 and iPhoto 9.5 - iTunes does not sync pictures (not even counts them) between my iPhone 5S and either one of the programs. When I select iPhoto, it even shows information of a library I am not opening with iPhoto anymore.
    I have resorted for the time being, waiting for a bug fix, to copy what I am interested in, into a folder and sync from it - that at least works.
    Moreover, contrary to what said here in other threads, I can Wi-fi sync my iPhone 5S and iPad 2 to iTunes 11.1.2.
    And, about all the complaints of iTunes not showing the "Info" tab anymore, Mac OS X now supports natively more types of accounts (Gmail, Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook, AOL, etc.). Everything can still be also set up manually in any case - so I don't understand what everybody is bragging about - you can avoid using iCloud, if so one wishes.

  • IPhone Syncing Problems (Windows Vista)

    I've ran into a problem, where I can't sync any of my photos, i've seen problems but not like this, almost all the time when i sync my photos it gives me a blue screen error (windows vista) sometimes it will sync some of them but they arent viewable or even able to find on the phone, another problem im having is i have 3 computers and i cant sync my 3 librarys on my iphone i want all 3 to be the same any ideas... thanks,
    greg

    greg,
    This article may help with your blue screens when you are trying to sync photos:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306048
    Also, you can only sync to one computer at a time. Therefore, you will not be able to use the iPhone with 3 different libraries without erasing what's on the iPhone when you sync it with a new computer. You can find more information about syncing in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.3/en/2626win.html
    If you want all 3 libraries to have the same content, you would need to copy the content on each computer to all the others. For more information on how to transfer your iTunes content to each computer, check out this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93366
    Good luck!

  • Sync problem with Vista

    Got the 8gb 3g a few weeks ago from T Mobile and got it unlocked officially to transfer to Vodafone contract. Sync set up on Vista installed and ran perfectly for a few weeks but suddenly developed many problems about ten days ago.
    On connection Pop up: "Sync server has stopped working. A problem caused etc"
    followed by -
    "iTtunes cannot sync information with the iphone because syncing has been disabled"
    followed by -
    "iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Server. Reconnect or try again later."
    It then says its syncing but doesn't.
    On the info tab on iTunes the boxes for the Calendar, Contacts and Notes have now become unticked. I try to tick the boxes for all three but Calendar cannot be ticked and whilst Contacts and Notes can be ticked they immediately become unticked.
    Another problem has developed over the last few days, probably unrelated, in that the screen suddenly goes white and then coloured horizontal lines flash on the screen and then it dies. Leaving it for a few minutes and restarting seems to clear it but I am now concerned that I am going to lose all the data which has not been backed up. Can anyone help me please?

    Windows + iPhone seem not to completely work friendly with each other with contact, agenda and notes. I have been some problems with that too, i just ignore the fact that i can sync those things with my Windows because it's the only thing i don't understand and i got problems with.
    Apple does NOT allow certificates on unlocked iPhones. Means you cannot receive push notifications nor you are allowed to have contact with the Apple iPhone servers. It's just the fact that you unlocked your iPhone, that's all.
    Going back to AT&T, T-mobile or any other legal distributer of an iPhone and the problem will be solved..

  • Music sync problems with ipad after 8.1.3 update

    So toady after many weeks of meaning to update my music on iPad, I got round to doing it. I could cry at this moment I had the same problems with my iPod a few weeks back, where I could get so far with putting music on and then iTunes would just wipe what I had just put on. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I ended up just giving up with my iPod. I lost over 200 songs, that iTunes decided to wipe off my device, and now I have just lost over 100 on my iPad. Help would be appreciated

    Thanks Apple, for breaking my ipad, I suppose I will just have to wait for a 8.1.3 Jailbreak update, have never done it before, but it looks like that's the only possible way to get my ipad working again.

  • Problems with games after leopard upgrade

    I am a Cisco network support engineer, I have a recommendation, before you  upgrade any device in the future. Always keep in mind to make a backup of your data, in this way if you have to reset the device to factory settings you will not lose that information. Having said that, reset the router to the fabric configuration using the back little button, remember when you do that, you are going to loose your current configuration.
    Also here I leave a link for you to download the firmware rescue utility for your router:

  • Sync problems with 3gs and itunes after update iOS 5.0

    I am using a Vista PC with iTunes10.5. After updating my 3gs to iOS 5.0 I am not able to sync the phone. iTunes recognizes my iphone and then stays syncing at the backup stage....I deleted all my apps on the phone and deleted previous backups and tried syncing again, but in vain. I am clueless....

    I just plugged it into my netbook and its Restoring it on there so thanks, I know I will lose what I never had backed up but just be happy if it works. Fingers crossed this fixes it.
    Edit: It didnt work, come up with iTunes isnt connected to the internet then the restore fails

  • Iphone 3gs problem with network after upgrading to 5.1.1

    Hi...
    I have Iphone 3gs and requested official unlock from my provider. They said they did it and all I have to do is connect it with iTunes.
    I had ios 3.x and upgraded to 5.1.1 through iTunes.
    But now after upgrade, my phone is not unlocked and niether works with original card.
    3G network is one second ok, after one second drops to 1 line, and after that I got No network.
    I managed to make call, but that call only last for 1 second.

    I wouldn't assume that.  Don't know anyone who changed carriers without canceling the original.  The intermittent connections he describes are typical of SIM card issues.
    The point is that your statement that "updating is not enough" is incorrect.  When he "updated" to iOS 5, a full restore was already done. If there were errors during that process, restoring again might help, but its not necessary to restore.

  • IPhone syncing problem with iTunes - 'The iPhone "Leon's iPhone" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-54)

I also updated my iPhone to the latest software (5.1.1.) - and still, even after all this, it still says there is an error and cannot be synced. SERIOULSY APPLE, WHAT NEXT?!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

  • Photo sync problems with Vista

    I have two iPods which I manage on two different computers.
    I manage my 2nd Gen Nano on a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop running Windows XP Home, and manage my 5th Gen Video 30 GB iPod on a Dell Dimension E521 desktop running Windows Vista Home Premium. The same photos are on both computers.
    The problems is that When I attempt to sync photos to the video ipod on the Vista system, I get an error "some photos weren't copied to Therese's iPod because they cannot be displayed on the iPod". I've deleted the iPod photo cache folder and tried the sync again, but still get the error.
    Since both computers are networked, I thought I would try and sync the photos from the laptop over the network as opposed to the ones on the desktop. In iTunes on the desktop system, I selected the photos from the laptop and they sync'd to the the video iPod.
    What I am trying to figue out is, Why the photo's from the laptop over the network would sync and not the photo's from the local Vista machine.
    Any ideas of what the problem may be?
    Dell Inspiron 8600 (Windows XP) / Dell Dimension E521 (Windows Vista)     iPod Nano 2nd Gen 4 GB (Pink) / iPod Video 5th Gen 30 GB (Black)

    It is an HP dv6040ca that has vista 64-bit on it. It has a NVIDIA sata driver, that I have tried to up date today.
    Drat. HP has been offering a Microsoft Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller Update/Rollback that has been helping with this sort of thing on desktop models (32-bit), but they aren't offering it on notebooks.
    Are you up to date on that BIOS update they are offering? (They don't say what it does, but it might be worth a crack.)
