ITunes crashes / errors out when attempting to get Outlook 2003 contacts

OS: XP Pro SP2
APPS: Office Pro 2003 SP2, iTunes v.6.0.4.2
Hardware: iPod Nano 2GB
Problem: When I sync my ipod nano, iTunes opens, the music syncs and then I get an error:
“iTunes cannot copy contacts to the iPod ‘my name’”
Probable Cause: I installed from MSN Premium something called “Outlook Connector” I was going to use to synch my MSN Hotmail & my Outlook contacts. I believe it was after this install when I began having trouble with synching my contacts between my iPod Nano and Outlook 2003 SP2 for windows.
Solutions I have tried:
- Repaired Outlook using “Detect & Repair” as well as scanpst.exe
- Cleaned the registry
- Restored an older backup PST Outlook file
- Talked with MSN support who referred my to iTunes support
- Purchased Apple Care program (or something)
- Update iPod (wasn’t needed)
- Uninstalled/Reinstalled iTunes
- Scoured google, these forums, newsbin, ms kb, etc…
- The last thing I will do is to restore my whole hard drive to an time when my ipod did synch fine
Please help if you can. I really think this has to do with that MSN Outlook Connector, but I have removed all known traces of it. I wanted to make sure I to get an answer and posted this in both the nano as well as itunes for Windows forums, my apologies if that’s taboo.
Thank you in advance for any assistance, even if someone can point me to more resources.
Paul

I fixed this, YES!
For those who it may help, I went into:
Outlook 2003 > Tools > Address Book
From there I saw theat Outlook Connector (or soemething) created a new address book for my MSN/Hotmail and made that address book the default one.
I simly made my old one the default and ipod now synchs with the Outlook contacts.

  • Disk utility errored out when attempting to repair Macintosh HD

    My iMac suddenly got really slow this morning, occasionally freezing for a few minutes. I ran disk utility to repair permissions, MacJanitor and then restarted to no avail. Then I started up using the original install CD (10.4.4), ran the hardware test and passed, and attempted to repair the disk with Disk Utility. I got through the first steps, but then when checking the Catalog File, I got the following error:
    Invalid Node Structure
    Volume Check Failed
    Error: Underlying task reported failure on exit.
    Before I exited, I repaired disk permissions again, and this time it found a bunch of bad permissions...when I restarted, system was still slow, so I know I still have a problem
    Any suggestions on what to do next?
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Try that disk repair a few more times, you never know!
    But more then likely it won't be able to repair an Invalid Node Structure. That's a pretty serious error.
    If Disk Utility can't fix it, you'll need a more robust utility for the repair. I would recommend DiskWarrior. It is the best at directory repairs. It rebuilds then actually replaces your old directory. I feel every Mac owner should have a copy. Make sure you get the disk so you can boot up on it to run repairs. You can also install it on another drive and run it from there to repair this one. DW works faster that way.
    I use DW once a month to try and catch errors in my system from getting too far out of hand.
    If you have a good backup, hopefully a clone of your system before you had issues, an Erase and Install will also rid you of this issue. But, beware! You will lose everything on the drive with this procedure. Let us know if you need help with that!
    Cheers! DALE

    Does anyone have a clue what this means and if there is a fix? At this rate I'll still be uploading songs to Match in 2013, the only thing that makes me feel better is to see I'm not the only one suffering with this!

  • ITunes Medium Error note When Attempting to Burn Cds.

    Ive had no trouble with iTunes till now.
    I keep getting an error message saying the burn could not be completed because of medium write error.
    is this just my cds. even tho ive tried several types? or something worse like my drive is dead?
    it still rips and plays cds. It just wont burn them onto blanks....

    ...in my experience, anytime it says media or medium, they are referring to the blanks or the disk drive itself; so, yeah, I'd say that it might be your blanks or your burner's inability to use those specific blanks properly... imho, that is...

    Hi 99jon,
    Many thanks for that. Had been going through this list yesterday and now again today:
    Ref  Solution 1: Lightroom is at its latest update
    Ref  Solution 2: It's interesting how I cannot find the Preferences file anywhere on my mac. (new mac pro, OS 10/9.2) . . .
    Ref  Solution 3: Lightroom doesn't allow me to do anything after the error message appears
    Ref  Solution 4: don't have any Nik Software plug-ins
    Ref  Solution 5: checked permissions and changed all to "Read & Write" - makes no difference
    Ref  Solution 6: I don't have a different user account on my mac.
    Not sure what else to do.

  • When synchronizing my iphone4 on the computer it errors out when optimizing the photos and shuts down iTunes.  Any idea what to do to get the synch working?

    When synchronizing my iphone4 on the computer it errors out when optimizing the photos and shuts down iTunes.  Any idea what to do to get the synch working?

    OKay, here is the deal. You cannot change the location of encrypted files nor can you share them with other machines. There is no file server for iTunes so even if you export the movie index from iTunes to an external volume, each time you reboot your computer itunes has to reindex the external drive every time you want to access the files. The second you run your mobile computer without the external drive or try to access the HD movies from another device or another user on the same network, the indexing gets out of synch. The entire process is self defeating regardless. The HD movies are encapsulized by apple to stream to your devices via iCloud and NOT via Cloud. Only your TV can play 1080p. That single file you download from iTunes has mutiple versions of the same video in the capsul, one version for each type of apple device. There are no 1080p apple devices except for the Apple TV. When you buy a movie you are buying a license and not the movie. It's going to get worse with all the new copywrite laws. Already you cant share any apple devices with other itunes accounts. Your airport express just stopped streaming music to all users on the local home sharing Cloud. Only the one user for each device and soon only airplay speakers connected directly to the device. No more passthru via your TV and no more file sharing with other accounts on the same wi-fi. All the ISPs are doing the same thing. And soon everybody will be buying their phones and TV's and iPads from the cabble guy.
    Apple has done a poor job of educating the consumer as to the difference between the Cloud and iCloud. They are not the same at all.

  • Purchased Light Room 5, installed, registered .. but keep getting this screen "An error occurred when attempting to change modules. ... OK" ?? WTF? ?

    Installed Light Room 5.2 from Disc on my mac os x (latest, updated version)
    But keep getting this "An error occurred when attempting to change modules.. OK" no other options/selection and of course if I click OK ... it crashed out ...
    Can anyone help?
    For such a big company .. there isn't any chat option to get to someone to talk to  !!!

    Just because you are the only user on the computer doesn't mean you are the administrator.
    Also, the fact that you are being asked to re-enter your serial number each time you start means that it is not being remembered because something is either preventing it from being written to you disk or (less likely) something is erasing it. This does suggest that you lack certain permissions to make changes to your computer. Not only to save your serial number, but to have access to the Lightroom files needed to change modules (they are just plug-ins within Lightroom).
    Try creating a new user account and run Lightroom from there (making sure that it is part of the Administrator group).
    To get to chat support, you have to choose the options:

  • Keep getting error message when attempting to buy a song (Error 5002)

    This error message seems to pop up with just this one song (says there is an issue with the iTunes store and that it is an unknown error) and it has not changed this status for a month now. I have the latest iTunes and there were no problems in updating/getting other songs from the store.
    So what's up?

    Lightroom trial doesn't show complete menu selections or import button.  Also get error message on launch:  An error occurred when attempting to change modules.  I am unable to find/see the following file to try renaming the SLCache and SLStore files:  System Library/Application Support/Adobe.  Any ideas?  I only have 16 days left on the trial and have been unable to get it to work on my Macbook Pro.  This is all I am seeing after Lightroom opens.  Thanks!

    Thanks to both of you for attempting to help.  I finally figured out what was wrong . . . it was a Permissions problem.  Very frustrating, but after scouring the troubleshooting tips I finally found the one that solved my problem.  I had to add a User and give it Read/Write privileges to Lightroom.  The file I had to add the User to was Hidden on my Mac, so that added an even bigger challenge to the mystery.  Only a few days left on my trial version!  I hope I have time to try it out!

    Error message when attempting to back up iPod to iTunes, no number given. No previous back ups as a new user, current iTunes software and iPod iOS.

    The issue you are experiencing is with installing the latest iTunes update.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    I understand that you have already uninstalled iTunes, but when you get to this step, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step. 

  • Why do I get an error message when attempting to download music into a project in Ellements 13?

    Why do I get an error message when attempting to download music into a project in Ellements 13?

    cornman30
    What computer operating system?
    And, where is the music coming from, iTunes? If so, that is a known problem with Premiere Elements (just about any version).
    The answer has been to convert the iTunes music to the wav version in iTunes.
    The following is the iTunes' document how to.

  • TS3694 iPod touch gets error -1303 when attempting to restore after update (W7)

    iPod touch gets error -1303 when attempting to restore after update (W7).  This error is not shown anywhere in the specific list.  Have done all recommended recovery methods (reboot, update iTunes, restart iPod) to no avail. What is next?

    Usually the 1303 error is in regards to a corrupted or missing backup of your iPod Touch.  Try removing or moving the backups to another location and then try to restore your iPod once again.

    have removed my pop-up blocker completely and still receive the following error message when attempting to download iTunes:  "The file was blocked because it does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher".....any ideas?

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
