Itunes 7.4.1.2 requires outlook as default email handler

I prefer to use outlook express for email. After installing the latest version of itunes (7.4.1.2) I get multiple warning dialog boxes that outlook is NOT the default mail handler. Despite progress shown on the itunes screen neither calendar or contacts sync.
If I change the mail handler from outlook express to outlook 2003 sych seems to work but I am forced to use outlook for email instead of express which is what I prefer.
I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled several times following the procedure described in the apple help pages but I am still stuck.
Help

same is the case with me. Earlier it was working fine. i have gone to the extent of not enabling access to outlook express so that it doesn't run on the computer still it is giving problems

Using Outlook as default email client doesn't work in one important way

I'm using Outlook 2011 as my default email client, and have set it in all the places I can, as the default email client. It works as I want in almost every place - eg clicking links in websites opens an Outlook email - so that's great.
BUT I often want to right-click a file and send as an email attachment. Using 'Compress and Email' or just plain 'Email' (added by customising the context-menu) opens up Apple Mail - which I haven't even set up. This is very frustrating, and makes the job of sending a file by email direct from within the Finder much more clumsy.
Any ideas on how I can invoke Outlook in this way will be much appreciated, thanks.
Jeff

Sorry guys... I'm a recent mac-switcher, and was immediately frustrated by the (apparent) lack of features in the Finder. Sorry! Now I'm utilising Pathfinder, which I have come to love - and of course those context menus are in there, not in Finder. So it seems likely that the problem lies within the Pathfinder app, rather than OSX. Your comments have illuminated the blindingly obvious for me. Sorry!
As a matter of interest; how do YOU quickly email a file out, when you've located it in a Finder window?
Thanks

How to set Outlook as default email in Safari?

I have Outlook which I use as my only email (do NOT want to use Apple mail for various reasons) and when I click on a link to send an email while in Safari it wants to use Apple mail. I don't see any options letting me change this in Safari. How can I set Outlook as my default email in Safari?

That does not change the default search engine.
I had already deleted google from the search bar.
Found the fix. Need to do the about:config - keyword.URL - change http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
to http://search.yahoo.com/

When I click on an email link in Firefox, I get a message in the far left corner of my screen that says "mail to:email address". Outlook doesn't open up like it does in Internet Explorer. I've set Outlook as my default email in Windows 7.

You need iTunes 11.1 which is not available for download in google chrome or other browsers. The only browser it has worked for with me is Safari. Hope this helps!

ITunes 11 is not syncing my Outlook 2007 calendar on my iPhone 5 on a Windows 7 PC

ITunes 11 is not syncing my Outlook 2007 calendar on my iPhone 5 on a Windows 7 PC.
I have tried a number of things such as:
Repairing the outlook.pst file with scan pst.exe. This did not work.
Uninstalling all apple software on the PC and then reinstalling it. This did not work.
Turning addins off and on in outlook. This did not work.
Changing outlook.pst files. This did not work.
Replacing iPhone content with content on PCM. This did not work.
Restoring the iPhone does not work.
Nothing works.
I have been working on this issue for a couple of days. It is driving me crazy. I am inches from formatting my hard drive.
Everything worked fine until the most recent iTunes update.

Same here. Spent about an hour trying various solutions to similar problems on other forums before discovering this one, which matches my symptoms exactly. iPad doesn't have this issue, only iPhone 4S.
My iTunes Match renews in two days. This is about the umpteenth disappointment with the service. I almost certainly won't be renewing now.

ITunes cannot see or sync my Outlook calendars.

Hi all, iTunes seems to have lost the ability to see my current Outlook calendars and sync them to my iPhone 3G. I am running Windows XP SP3, Outlook 2003, and I've done all iTunes / iPhone / Windows Update / Outlook updates and patches that I could find. The problem happened about 2-3 weeks ago, and may have co-incided with an iTunes patch, I can't remember.
I've attempted to have the iPhone sync different calendars, used the "Replace all calendar info on next sync" toggle button, and reset the sync history with no luck.
All other syncing items through iTunes / Outlook / iPhone are still fine, including syncing Outlook notes and contacts.
The strange part is that iTunes is no longer seeing when Outlook calendars are created or deleted. iTunes still sees an old Outlook calendar I deleted after the problem started happening, and does not see any new calendars I've made since the problem. It only seems to see a "snapshot" of what was there right when the problem occurred. Stranger still, when I tell the iPhone (with all calendar data removed) to sync with one of the old calendars that iTunes sees but isn't there anymore, the iPhone correctly syncs up the old calendar as if it were still there. I.E. I'm getting a suspicion that iTunes has a cached copy of my old deleted Outlook calendars somewhere that it is pulling this old info from. Weird huh?
Anyways, I've dug through the old discussions and it sounds like this is an old problem that never found an answer. But if you have any advice please let me know, I'm all ears!
Thanks,
Scott

Lost my contacts and calendar since update and statesThe iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 1 MB required).e

I lost my contacts and calendar, and photos since the iOS update and and it states that my iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 1 MB required). Also it shows that I am over capacity on my Capacity ruler but how do I unload some of that stuff so that I can increase my capacity and perhaps get this synching to work again.
So frustrating!!

On your iPhone go to settings>general>about and next to "Available" if you dont have much space then you will need to delete stuff on the phone to make room to take photos by deleting stuff on the phone.
In terms of syncing change what you are syncing and decide what you would really want and not want on your phone which would make what is syncing to the phone smaller.

I don't like itunes 10 and so I'm using itunes 9. However, now my phone can't connect to itunes because it says it requires itunes 10.5 or later. Is there a workaround for this?

No.
If you don't want to update to the supported software you can't use the device.

Meanwhile, I tried someone's suggestion to delete ITunes and Quicktime and reinstall both; still got the same mesage.

The folder "itunes" cannot be found or created and is required. The default

After I agree to the agreement screen, I receive a message "The folder "itunes" cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this file is inside the "My Music" Folder". What is wrong? Any suggestions?

this has nothing to do with this topic, but oh well. sometimes some of my music/videos wont let me drap it and drop it into my ipod. it comes up with ! , and right now there are 200 songs on my computer that cant be listened to or put into my ipod. it says that the original files cannot be found. suggestions?

The administrator has made changes that requires Outlook to be restarted.

We are running on premise Exchange 2013 (Upgraded from Exchange 2010). Our Outlook anywhere clients (Me being one of them) are constantly getting this pop up, some more then others.
"The administrator has made changes that requires Outlook to be restarted."
I have looked around and there are a lot of references to corrupt OST files and recently mailbox moves. My mailbox has been moved for several months now, and I am not using cached mode, however I do have a 16MB OST file on this particular computer
(I get this message on the 3 computers I use regularly, all of them do not have cache mode)
We only seem to get this message on Outlook 2013, I have downgraded a computer to 2010 and I do not get the message. I believe that we started getting this message shortly after we removed the Exchange 2010 server from our organization, however I cannot
be certain
any thoughts?? I get the message at least every 30-60 minutes :)

Hello,
Normally, if you move a mailbox, the profile has to get updated somehow, and outlook is updated automatically, but it does require a restart.
I recommend you follow the NetoMeter's suggestion to check the result.

I had just updated my Mac to 10.6.1. When it finished, I had tried to open up Itunes but it says it requires 10.6.8 or later. When i had tried to update my mac it asked for my adiminstartor password. I dont know my password. Any way to reset it without using a disc?

Sure there is.
1. restart your computer in Single User Mode (by pressing Command + S during boot - see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1492)
This will boot your OS X system in a kind of command line mode.
Note: this will not work if you have a Firmware password set.
2. when in Single User Mode, enter the following command
mount -uw /
to mount your OS X file system.
3. now you can enter the following command
passwd username
replacing "username" by your OS X user's short name. Then you will be prompted to enter the new password for that user. You will have to confirm that new password.
Note that you will not see any character showing when you enter the new password; this is expected behaviour.
