I can no longer sync iphone and ipad - 'cannot access conflicts' unable to retrieve conflict info from sync server' - any ideas please? Previous enquirer with this didn't seem to find an answer?

anybody found this and got the answer? both ipad and iphone used to be ok, just started happening last couple of months.
See from communities question that I'm not the only one, but don't seem to be able to find solution posted anywhere.
It's really annoying cos now ipad, iphone and outlook are all saying they don't match appointments and contacts - aaaarrrgghhhh!

Here is the solution.
Rationale: You want to be able to have the dates on your items (notes, contacts) on your iphone to be the same as on outlook. This will eliminate any sync conflicts. You will also notice that if you modify something on the iphone and sync, you will lose the modification you made.
Steps:
1) In outlook, export the data (contacts, notes) to a CSV file
2) Delete you notes/contacts in outlook
3) Sync your iphone and select replace information on this iPhone (in iTunes)
4) Now your contacts and notes will be empty on both your iPhone and Outlook
5) Now import your contacts and notes from the CSV files back into outlook. What this does is put the current date and time on every individual item
6) Sync your iPhone to iTunes normally
7) everything will work correctly now with no sync issues and no conflicts.

TS2776 error message 'cannot access conflict information sync server'

I recently can't sync my iPhone with my Microsoft Outlook calendar. I receive an error message 'cannot access conflict information sync server. Try again later.' Help!

You are trying to use conflicting services for sync, disable all the ones that you do need. Once only one is enabled, you will be OK

Cannot access conflicts unable to retrieve contact information from the sync server.

ITunes error message Cannot access conflicts unable to retrieve contact information from the sync server.

I got this advice from Gator5000e on Apple Supposrt Communities:
I use Windows 7 so the path to find this file
might be different under a different OS.
Close iTunes. Search on the words "conflicts.synconflicts".
I renamed it to conflictsold.synconflicts the .synconflicts is the extension so you can't
rename that.
Then restarted Windows. As a test I made changes to a note in NOTES on each device. Then connected them one at a time to my computer which has iTunes 10 and Runs Windows 7, it worked !

Cannot access conflicts

How many more posts on the community pages do we need until Apple sorts out this problem. When is the notes sync with Outlook going to be fixed. There's clearly a problem here !!!

UPDATE: this doesn't happen every time. I changed a note in Outlook and then plugged my iPhone in. iTunes went through the 5 step backup/sync process and came up with the usual "Cannot access conflicts" message. At this point, the note had NOT been updated on the iPhone.
I then removed and re-plugged my iPhone, and let it sync again. This time, no message came up and the note HAD gotten updated on the iPhone.
This seems rather strange behaviour.

"Cannot access conflicts" message

I have been getting the message "Cannot access conflicts" when trying to sync my Notes between Outlook and my iPhone 4 for the past few weeks. Previously I had no issues at all. This is a new iPhone after my previous one broke, so it was restored and otherwise works perfectly. There WAS an issue with the Notes being sync'ed to my IMAP account but I turned that off so there should be no over-the-air sync'ing since my IMAP provider doesn't support it.
The exact message is: "Unable to retrieve conflict information from the sync server. Please try again next time the conflict resolver window is presented".
There are 2 conflicts, when I choose the "correct" one and press Next this error comes up. When I look at the first of the notes that is in conflict, there actually ISN'T a conflict - the notes are the same on the iPhone and in Outlook, however the old note (the one on the left out of the two choices) is definitely "old" in the sense that the note has been updated, probably since I got the new iPhone. Somehow it's remembering my old notes and having a conflict.
The forums suggested going Edit/Preferences then "Reset Sync History" on the "Devices" tab, but I get a frightening message "Are you sure you want to reset this computer's sync history?" with a bunch of other stuff on it about merging information. It sounds like a potentially bad idea.
Anyone have any ideas please?
Thanks.

Help...."Cannot Access Conflicts" error message

I get the following error all of a sudden yesterday. Think to myself, oh, it'll go away when I reboot in the morning. No big deal. Well, it won't go away and won't let me fix the conflicts. Here is the message:
Cannot Access Conflicts

Pleae try again next time the coflict resolver window is presented.
OK, now, what do I do to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Me too. Anybody have any idea what's going on and what sort of evil will ensue as a result?

Iphone4 won't sync contact with Outlook/Exchange 2007 - can't afford to lose these contacts either

Hello,
I have a user who has been using an iPhone 4 for over a year now, and has built up a large list of Contacts on the device. Unfortunately, unlike every other iPhone user, his Contacts have not been sync'ing with Outlook.
I know I can go into "Settings", "Mail, Contacts, Calendar", Contacts and "Default Account" and change it here. However, I do not want to lose any of these iPhone Contacts. I would like to be able to back them up, and then sync them into Outlook.
Can someone please advise on the safest steps to do this?
Thank you,
Liam

A couple of weeks ago a similar question was posted and a member responded with the following link
http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/
I haven't tried it since we force encrypt our backups through IPCU, but is looks intriguing and like it might work for you. According to their web page they export backed up contacts to a csv file so they could be imported into the Outlook client....hope this helps.

HT1296 I cannot sync contact with outlook

I downloaded new version of Itunes and after that I cant sync contacts with outlook, as there is no option of outlook in it.

Thanks all the matter is resolved

Syncing notes with Outlook 2010

When I attempt to sync Notes with Outlook, all the notes at both ends i.e. the PC and iPad revert to a date some weeks ago. If I change the same note on both the PC and iPad I would expect a sync conflict, but again the note reverts to a copy (from somewhere) that is several weeks old. If I change either end and sync, again, the notes revert.
How can I fix this?

Ok, well after looking at everything, I decided that the best solution was to uninstall an App called "Tango", as it seemed to 'mess' with contacts directly, and I only use it with 1 person, so switching back to Skype (plus Tango sends/shares lots of personal
info, location, and keeps changing it's access rights and doing stuff when you're not looking - I'm sure some people love it, but for me, it's a belts and braces get rid of anything that might have 'contributed' to this issue).
Found my un-sync'd contacts and emailed them to myself, then deleted the Exchange active-sync account. Checked what was left, found google had managed to sync some stuff, cleared that up too!
RE-created the account on the S4 - only need the email and password, as it finds the server and sets itself up automatically (I guess it did that previously).
All is now working, after about 5mins the data had been re-populated and it sync's new changes instantly. But I will monitor from time to time to check that new contacts or added numbers etc do sync. My best guess is that some index or other data became corrupt.
Just one of those things (or had I been tango'd?!).
On the Truncating Notes Issue, the S4 (realised that it's running Android 4.3) does chop a note but only if edited, at 1001 chrs. However unlike others, it seems to only truncate the note if you actually edit the note field, so adding a phone number or removing
one, leaves the note field intact!
To summaries other devices behaviour with the Contact record Notes Field:
- iPhone 3GS (on iOS 6.1.3) truncates at 32,777 chrs (so pretty big notes!)
- Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8020 - Android 4.1.1) chops at about 1,000chrs, even if just adding a phone number to the contact - so not even editing the notes field
- HTC One X (4.2.2) at 5,122 chrs (when editing any part of the contact)
I hope this might help someone in the future if they have similar problems ...
cheers

Hi nprguy,
It sounds like an earlier version of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software installed on your PC may be conflicting with this installation.
I would advise uninstalling both versions of the BlackBerry Desktop Software then reinstalling the latest version.
The following KB articles should provide more information on the issue.
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" when uninstalling BlackBerry Desktop Manager www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10220
"Error 1316" InstallShield error is encountered when uninstalling or upgrading the BlackBerry Desktop Software

Thanks.

Please Help... Sync BB8900 with Outlook 2007 and Vista.

I have trawled the web looking for an answer to this question and can't find any answers, please can somebody help me !!!
I have owned my 8900 Curve for about 2 months and love it, I used to sync it with my old computer running Windows XP and Outlook 2007 and had no problems.Unfortunately that computer died and I have upgraded to a new PC unning Windows Vista, my problem is this... When I try to set up the sync options for my calendar,contacts etc I don't get the option to sync it with Outlook, I only get the option to sync it with
1... ASC II Importer/exporter
2...Yahoo.
I rely heavily on my BB being up to date and without this function may as well go back to my old PDA.
I have tried re-installing Desktop Manager a few times and even downloading older versions of it to see if this fixes my problem, all to no avail.
Please,Please can somebody help.
Thank You In Advance.

Hi,
By the "media control" I take it your were referring to the Vizkids Post, suggesting the mediad manager not be installed?
I didn't say that, I agree with it, but I didn't say it.

A friendly tip as this is your first thread, The User who suggested that has 4 more posts than you. He is new to the forum as well.
What worked for his problem, might not work for yours, in this case it wouldn't have affected it at all. When you get stuck or need some
research go to the upper left hand corner where the grey search box is. Type on keyword for your problem, I would put vista outlook 2007
desktop, to start. You will see the history of the problems reading those subjects. You will see green resolution marked on most
Follow those resolved threads and see how it relates to yours, and how it was resolved in the past. Be sure to write your search results in you thread other users can then see what you've tried and found and help you quicker
As you get more experience you will get good use from the Support and Services grey tab at the top of the page.
That's where the link I posted came from. Please take my comments the way they were intended, as helpful advice, OK?
I need some specifics on your Vista OS 32 or 64 bit?What version of desktop manage have you tried, removed reinstalled etc.?
Okay flesh things out a little, you installed desktop manager with full access rights as an administer on Vista,correct?
The installation was error free?
You setup the your email and when you went to configure the synchronization options, you had what options, I know
you didn't have Outlook.
What steps did you try to resolve the problem?
Did you change any settings in Outlook, review the desktop setup in the manual?
How far did you get on article I left you regarding MS Outlook tips?
Ok let me know the detail for those questions,thanks,
Regarding the clean procedure post, The first part of the procedure states:
"To install BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Windows® based computer that
had a previous version of BlackBerry Desktop Software installed,
complete the five tasks outlined below. These tasks should also be
completed if the BlackBerry Desktop Software installation or
uninstallation procedures did not complete successfully."
Going on, it explains and shows how to make sure all the registry entries, program files and remnants , along with file traces
were made In Vista and are completely removed. A lot of desktop manager issues especially in the Vista OS can be traced to old
registrations made by a previous DM installation.
Please let me know what parts are not clear.
Thanks,

Sync problems with Outlook

Hi all.
Just got me.com up and running (trial) and almost everything work as it should. However I cannot get me.com to sync folders with Outlook. At me.com I have Inbox, Drafts, Sent and Trash folders. But in Outlook 2007 I only got Inbox and Unwanted-mail folders. If I delete a message in my Inbox at me.com the message is moved to Trash, but in Outlook there's a line through the header in the Inbox, probably because there is no Trash folder.
Anyone knows what could be wrong and how to solve this problem?
Best regards,
Michael
P.S. Sometimes I get an errormessage from Outlook saying, that folders cannot be synced, because there is no connection to the me.com server?

one of the recurrent event in your Outlook calendar is faulty. Find it and delete it or modify it.
The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

HT4191 I was sincronizing my iPad by using the INFO Section by: Other Sync notes with Outlook Advanced Notes. The result was a huge problem, because it erased the notes in my iPad and added other notes of my commpuerte into my iPad. What can I do to?

I was sincronizing my iPad by using the INFO Section in iTunes when my iPad was connected by: Info>> Other >> Sync notes with Outlook >> Advanced >> Notes.
What I wanted to do, is pass the notes in my iPad to my computer (Outlook) in order to have a backup of that information. Nevertheless, what the sincronization did was eliminate all the notes that I had in my iPad and incorporate new notes from my computer.
Is there any way to restore my old notes? Is there a "trash" in iTunes were I can find that set of notes?
I do not think I have a backup of my iPad, therefore I cannot use that option. Does any one have any solution for my problem??? I would really appreciate some help.

Not as yet, and the proper answer is for Microsfot to update O2011 for iCloud, they have a statement noting that iCloud is not supported (Mail is) but no timetable for a fix.

Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location.

Hi, guys
I cannot view delegate mailbox in Outlook. Following is my configure.
I have two mailbox A-User and B-User
Login Outlook as A-User, click File -> Account Settings -> Delegate Access, add B-User and give Editor permission of Inbox.
Right click A-User's root inbox and select Properties -> Permission, select B-User and check "Folder visible".
Login Outlook as B-User on other computer, click File -> Account Settings -> Account Settings, select B-User and click Change -> More Settings -> Advanced, add A-User.
Now I can see a root A-User in Navigation Pane. But when I click it, it shows
"Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location."
or
"Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location. The operation failed. An object cannot be found".
I searched some solutions from internet, but all of them don't work. Could you give some suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,
First, please double check if you have given the right permission to B-User on your step 2.
In addition, we can try to give a higher permission to the B-user to check the result.
Please feel free to post back and let me know the result.
Best Regards,
