ITunes conflicts with Outlook

Okay, here are the problems. If I have iTunes and Outlook open at the same time and try to perform any action in Outlook, Outlook freezes. After this happens, even if I close both programs and re-open only Outlook, it won't function. The only way to get it to work again is to restart the computer.
Also, whenever this happens, iTunes will not open a second time during one session--no error message, nothing. I double-click it, get an hourglass for a second, and it just doesn't open.
Any ideas as to what's going on?
Thanks.

Weird, those 2 should work together OK. Do you have an iPhone or regular iPod?
Maybe have a look at this article and see if there are any Outlook plugins you can disable (just as a test, to see if the problem still happens).
It's under the section,
Disable third-party Outlook add-ins
Did they ever work together correctly, or has this always happened on this PC?

ITunes sync with Outlook 2013 preparing to sync runs forever

iTunes sync with Outlook 2013 preparing to sync runs forever, what is the problem?

I have updated addresses and names in the iPhone. When I sync with Outlook it takes the updated name portion, but does not pick up the address from the iPhone. The Whitepages app (pretty handy app) will update my iPhone contact list, but I cannot then transfer that information over to my Outlook contact list. This all needs to work together. Solutions?

Itune sync with outlook calendar

everytime itune sync with outlook calendar,
a calendar folder under Outlook calendar is created.
iphone only sync with the newly created blank folder
therefore, nothing.

Answer Jbieber16:
Normally, when I sync my HTC (Pocket PC) with my notebook, I just plug USB cord to HTC (micro USB head) and notebook (regular USB head). Microsoft Mobile Device Center will automatically start and then sync data between HTC and notebook (sync Microsoft Outlook data, musics, photo, and Microsoft Office files in designated folder).
When sync completed, Microsoft Outlook's contacts, calendar, notes, emails as well as musics, photo, and Microsoft Office files in HTC and Notebook will be identical and updated.
Without USB cord, it can be synced via Bluetooth (cordless).
Note: I posted this question because some of my friends using iPhone told me that "data of Microsoft Outlook will partially sync to iPhone via iTune, not all data". So I check before sync Microsoft Outlook data with my new iPad2.

'Sync conflicts' with Outlook after upgrading to iTunes 7.4

Since upgrading to iTunes 7.4 2 days ago I now receive a 'sync conflict' error with entries on Outlook calendar when syncing the iPhone. It allows me to view each conflict but I cannot see any differences between the entries that are apparently conflicting.
I can continue and all seems fine, but it happens every time I sync.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks
Rixta

It is possible to get iTunes 7.4 working with Outlook 2002, in spite of Apple saying that they don't support it. I posted it as Solution to Syncing with Outlook XP (Outlook 2002.)
Just save the following file from your current installation of iTunes 7.3 (you can copy and paste it to your Windows desktop):
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\SyncServices\Clients\com.apple.Outlook\Contents\Windows\
com.apple.Outlook
Then be sure you have a current backup of your Outlook.pst file.
Upgrade to iTunes 7.4.3.1, and connect the iPhone. Open the Info tab in iTunes, and check the boxes and use the pull down menus to select Outlook for contacts, calendar and mail. You should then have no problem syncing to the iPhone.
Too bad about the loss of the music you purchased, I would suggest you call Apple and have them give you a credit, as they created the loss through their either accidental or intentional modification of iTunes (actually Apple Mobile Device Support.)

IPhone Email running in Conflict with Outlook 2007

the problem started the day after i synced the iphone for the first time and updated to the latest software upgrade.
I get a message in outlook when the iphone is attempting to access email that i cannot send or receive email on the desktop because another device is accessing the email account.
the problem occurs that some emails arrive on the iphone and some arrive on my desktop in outlook. it appears that iphone is attempting to intercept emails. while most emails arrive on the desktop, the iphone only receives some. sometimes the emails arrive in both places and other times only one place.
originally the i set up the email manually duplicating the pop3 and smtp server settings. email worked for three weeks. then i synced and the outgoing mail would not work. i resolved the problem by setting the password and user in the primary smtp outgoing server. Then the pop3 incoming server could not connect.
after reloading the email account all seemed to be working.
this latest problem appears that the iphone and outlook 2007 are in conflict with no winner to be set.
my ISP is ATT.

This is a problem with a POP account when accessing the account with more than one email client.
Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with one email client only.
When accessing a POP account with more than one email client, only one email client at a time can check the incoming mail server for new messages and/or download new messages received at the incoming mail server. When a 2nd email client attempts to do this while another email client is doing the same, the 2nd email client will be temporarily blocked by the incoming mail server. This has nothing to do with transferring the account settings from your computer via the iTunes sync process.
Not a problem with an IMAP account which is specifically designed to be accessed with more than one email client.

QickTime and/or iTunes Interfere with Outlook Express

Last week, after installing the new iTunes version with QuickTime it started interfering with the operation of Outlook Express. Specifically, one of these two products is reading new messages in my OE Inbox folder and changing them from unread to read messages. This problem persists after I uninstalled both products. There must be a driver or other component still operating in the background that is doing that. Or these products may have changed the registry of OE and did not reset it back during the uninstall. I need help in fixing this problem. I don't want to reinstall OE because it involves a lot of efforts.

This is a fair question which I tried to address in my original post. OE started to exhibit the problem right after the installation of iTunes with QuickTime on my computer. I suspect that one or both of these programs are reading new messages on OE Inbox. Anyone with knowledge of the inner working of these programs may confirm or invalidate my observation and pointing to them as the culprit.
I contacted Apple Support and they are bouncing me between their telephone and email support groups.
I hope somebody on this forum is familiar with the algorithm of iTunes and QuickTime and affirm wether or not they are reading email messages on the computer they are running on. Better yet, I hope someone can help me resolve this problem on my computer.

ITunes conflicts with Windows components

Hi everyone -- can anyone come up with an answer?
when i press the itunes icon, nothing happens -- it simply doesn't show up, no error message appears.
one thing seemed to help - using MSCONFIC to troubleshoot conflict in windows. however, as soon as i opened my internet browser, the itunes quit and won't open again.
Help!
I'd appreciate any help with solving this problem.
Thanks, Hestia.

hi Hestia!
however, as soon as i opened my internet browser, the itunes quit and won't open again.
i've seen that symptom hit people before with a Qoologic adware infestation on the PC. (some variants of that snuggle into IE as a browser helper object, and opening IE reactivates the adware and reactivates the error-message-free itunes launch suppression.)
the free trial version of Ewido has been catching and killing the Qoologic for most folks:

Conflict with Outlook 2007: "Outlook did not close properly"

I started getting this message "Outlook did not close properly" with the last update of I-Tunes. I searched the web and tried everything (e.g., SCANPST, etc. etc.) and even called Microsoft and created a new profile. It immediately started again.
Then, when I disabled the I-tunes add-in in Outlook, the message stopped, and stayed stopped. It looks like there's a conflict there. The problem is that I-tunes won't run without that Outlook Add-in being turned on. So it's either Outlook or I-tunes. Why should it be either / or?
I would appreciate any suggestions to let the two apps peacefully coexist.

Having the same problem. It would be nice to have a resolution.

OS X Lion conflicting with Outlook tasks

I have just updated my Mac to Lion and i got some sort of error. It tells me that my 192 Outlook tasks "conflicted" and asked me to try and move them to iCal. I got some of the tasks but not all of them.
How can I get my 192 "conflicted" tasks restored?
Thanks,
Jesper

Which year's version of Outlook are you using? You didn't say. The Office for Mac 2004 version of Outlook is Not compatible with Lion for instance.
Hope this helps

ITunes Conflict with ZoneLabs Zone Alarm

Wow! That took a lot. I was so frustrated not being able to find the conflict, I formatted my drive and incrementally installed and updated the software I use and found it to be ZoneAlarm's firewall that was the conflict. Music was stuttering on everything since they recently updated the firewall software. This is with iTunes 7.0.2, and was happening with 7.0.1 as well, on XP SP 2.
If you have this conflict, and still need a decent firewall for Windows XP that is free, I'm now using Comodo, which hasn't caused any problems so far, and seems to be better than ZoneLab's ZoneAlarm.

Running XPSP2, ZA Pro and ITunes 7.0.1 with no stuttering. I friend at work has the stuttering but their computer barely runs XP with iTunes.

How do I set up itunes sync with outlook to "replace information on this iphone" only? I do not want to do a two way sync.

I am tired of fighting sync incompatibilities between Outlook 2007 and I Tunes, and no longer want to do a two-way sync.
I still want my Outlook contacts and calendar on my iPhone and use advanced setup in iTunes to "replace information on this iPhone" only.
iTunes only offers the ability to do this on "the next sync only". Is there a way to set up iTunes to "replace information on this iPhone" every time I connect my phone?

Hi there Greg,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to always replace content on your iPhone 5S with content from Outlook on your PC, to do this you’ll just have to Reset the Sync History in iTunes as shown below.
Troubleshooting Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010 - Apple Support
To reset sync history:
Open iTunes.
From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
Click the Devices tab.
Click the Reset Sync History button.
If the issue continues and you know all of the data is on the computer:
Reset the Sync History again using the steps above.
Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" select Contacts or Calendars.
Click Apply.
Cheers,
-Jason

New update conflicts with Outlook

New Flash update download notification this morning. Downloaded and restarted and Outlook didn't work. Did system restore and Outlook worked fine again. Did nothing between the two steps. Using Window Vista Home premium and Outlook 2007

Hi V, not sure what could have happened. Did you Reboot after the Install? Check to make sure Shockwave Flash Object is enabled in the add ons.
Has Microsoft issued an Outlook update, perhaps on their last patch Tuesday? I don't use Outlook, but from many forums, it appears to be causing some problems. Sometimes when I update Windows I do see Microsoft Office and Outlook updates as well. Might be something to check out. Other wise I don't know.
Perhaps other users that use Outlook will respond with more info for you.
Thanks,
eidnolb
