ITunes no longer syncs with Outlook

Hi, I'm doing research on behalf of a client....
He's running Win7 Pro x64, Outlook 2010, iTunes 10.7, iOS 6 on both his new iPhone 5 and iPad 2 wifi only model.
He has a strange hybrid exchange going on in his office; his former IT provider never fully set it up, so he's using exchange for calendar & contacts, but email is POP.
For several years, he's happily been using iTunes to sync his calendar & contacts with Outlook.
That recently stopped working, and it seems like it must have been caused by either iTunes 10.7 and/or iOS 6.
What happens now when we plug either device into his desktop is it starts the sync process, says it's syncing calendars or contacts (step 2 of 6) and goes no further; it will sit there for as long as you let it with the little bar spinning, making you think it's working, but nothing ends up happening. iTunes does not freeze and otherwise works normally.
Here are a few of the steps I've tried to make iTunes sync his data with Outlook:
- Repaired .PST file, found & fixed errors.
- Repaired .OST (exchange cache on computer) file, found and fixed errors.
- Repaired Office software itself.
- Completely removed all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes.
- Forced sync
- Tried removing calendars & contacts from iPhone & iPad and forcing a sync.
- Deleted iDevice backup from within iTunes & tried a sync.
When I uncheck the Outlook sync options in iTunes, the sync completes successfully. So clearly there's a big issue with the Outlook sync component here.
Does anyone have any insight at all as to how we can solve this?
At this point I'm working on moving him entirely to Exchange so that everything will sync wirelessly over Activesync, but that's going to be more expensive and involved than getting iTunes to work like it used to .
Thank you

My iphone no longer syncs with outlook 2007

My iphone suddenly no longer syncs with Outlook 2007. I have checked the Outlook add-ins list. I can find no solutions. Apple phone support did not help, genius bar did nto help. Any suggestions ??

Is it everything that no longer syncs, or is it just one of the things, i.e. just calendar, contacts, notes? Many times as mentioned in the earlier post, it can be caused by a corrupt .pst file. Run the scanpst.exe application that resides in the Office folder. That will run a repair on the .pst file. Go into iTunes and reset the sync history and then try the sync again. If that doesn't help, it is possible there is a corrupt appointment in the calendar. That can cause a problem with syncing.
Try those couple of hints and see if that helps. Come back if it doesn't and let us know some more specifics.

After reinstalling operating system Windows 7, I lost apps and can no longer sync with Outlook 2010?

After reinstalling operating system Windows 7, I lost apps and can no longer sync with Outlook 2010?

apps are stored in
C:\Users\<your account name>\Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications
their extensions are .Ipa you can try doing a search on your harddisk
unless you formattet it when you reinstalled
but an app can only ever be bought 1 times on an appleID so if you try to buy them again it will give you a free download of the app and not charge you
about sync then if you connect the ipad and click info tab and set it to sync your outlook data it should sync without any problems

HT4191 Since 'upgrading' to ios6 notes no longer sync with outlook

Why does Apple always make life harder everytime I let them upgrade IOS? Why don't I trust my intuition and stick with the IOS I've got used to? It took me a while to discover that Notes on iphones are associated for an inexplicable reason to an email account and that it defaulted to my gmail account. I then set it to default (for new notes) to an account called 'on my iphone'. Magically IOS 5 synced these notes to my Outlook. Perfect. I 'upgrade' to IOS 6 and Notes 'on my iphone' no longer sync with Outlook (quite apart from now finding the new itunes a nightmare to use).

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Just downloaded update 11.1.4 and my itunes no longer syncs with Ipods or Iphones. What do I do?

Just downloaded itunes update 11.1.4 and now my itunes no longer syncs with ipods or iphones. What do i do? Should i uninstall new update? and how?

I am having the same issues with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 not mounting within iTunes every since the iTunes update. I know my USB is working but this is crazy. I had a thought and redowned the updater 10.6.8 thinking it was a bad install still the same issues. Sorry I couldn't help. I am also looking for the answers.

My iTunes no longer syncs with my phone!

My iTunes no longer syncs with my galaxy note3. I know galaxies aren't apple products but I happened to find a patch online for the note 3 to Allow iTunes to sync all my music but since I updated iTunes I haven't had any luck getting it to work. Please, I've been trying to find another patch to work with the new iTunes upgrade but haven't had any luck. If any if you knows of a new patch or something I could download to get it working again I would GREATLY appreciate it. Please help me

Thanks but it still doesn't work.
all my pre leopard entries still synch but none that have been put in since the "upgrade". I've tried starting new calendars from scratch. but nothing synchs. My .mac synch is fine! isn't that weird?

ITunes v7 no longer syncs with Outlook Calendar

I just updated iTunes from version 6 to version 7. BIG MISTAKE. I can no longer sync my outlook calendar. It does now sync Outlook contacts which did not work with the old version, but now calendar no longer syncs but it did in the old version. My calendar is extremely important and this has really upset me. I am now looking for a way to fix the problem or revert to the older version of iTunes.

I have the same problem. Both my Outlook contacts and calendar would sync with the previous version of iTunes, but after upgrading to v7, the calendars disappeared! I find this very upsetting, as well. There seems to be no support for this on Apple's page. Exporting each appointment individually is not a practical option when your calendar is full. I hope this problem is fixed as soon as possible.

Does anybody have any ideals or suggestions?
Thanks!

IPhone will no longer sync with Outlook 2007

I've had my iPhone for about 16 months - the sync with Outlook 2007 worked great until about 3 months ago (I'm guessing previous update to the one that happened today.) No changes to the laptop I synch with - Vista.
In iTunes under the "Info" tab for Calendars I see the message "No supported calendar application can be found."
Normal sync for music works and photo uploading works fine.
Help!
Thanks!

IPhone no longer syncs with Outlook Contacts/Calendar

For months I was syncing with my computer at home for music and videos, then I bring my iPhone to work and sync my Outlook Contacts and Calendar.
Now, when I plug in my iPhone on my work computer, everything operates as it used to, it still says it's syncing contacts, then syncing the calendar, but after it's done, when I look at the calendar or contacts in my iPhone, nothing has changed. It's simply not syncing with Outlook anymore, even though the status bar at the top of iTunes says it is syncing.

It appears I have solved the issue myself and thought I would share the solution in case anyone runs into this problem.
In Outlook, I only have one profile. However, Outlook somehow had some settings changed where it prompted me for which profile I wanted to use each time I started Outlook (even though I only have one profile). Because it was prompting me to choose when I start Outlook, I am guessing that when iTunes tried to access Outlook, it was also prompting iTunes to choose which profile to use as well. Since iTunes didn't know which profile, it wasn't syncing properly (note, iTunes never asks you which profile you want to use).
To fix this, I went to the control panel, double clicked the mail icon, clicked the button that says "Show Profiles". I highlighted the only profile I have listed in the drop-down menu and checked the box that says "Always use this profile".
I then sync'd iTunes with my phone and the calendar and contacts finally updated!

Palm Treo no longer syncs with Outlook 2007 calendar

Foolishly I upgarded to Office 2010 not realising that my Palm won't sync with Outlook 2010. I reverted back to Office 2007 but now my Treo won't sync with the calendar. All else appears okay. I get the following message:
This handheld is associated with a differentprofile. To synchronize with that profile, close Outlook and synchronize again. To use this device with current Outlook profile, open the Hotsync custom dialogue and change the conduit settings to use this Outlook profile. See the Oultlook conduit help for details.
The conduit settings only allow me to change which over-writes which - computer or Treo. When I chnage to get the computer to over-write (as this is where my up-to-date info is, the same message appears. I going to get an iPhone soon if I can't get help. This is crazy.
Someone out there help...please.
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

If I understand correctly, then the old Outlook 2003 is no longer available to you. If that's the case, then all of your information should have been taken from your local outlook 2003 and put into the new outlook 2007 exchange. The only way you can sync with exchange is by using EAS. You will need the server address, domain name, and the username/password you use to log into outlook. I expect you may not have some of this information, which is where your IT department will be able to fill in the blanks. You won't need to use the Treo for email, but now that outlook 2003 is gone, that isn't an option for your contacts/calendar/notes anymore. When setting up the EAS on your device, it will ask what you want to sync, and you can select/deselect the options you prefer.
Hope this clarifies things a little bit.

N86 no longer syncs with Outlook Calendar and Task

I have been having much troubles with syncing my N86 (recently updated to 30.009 firmware) to my Outlook 2003 with Ovi Suite 2.1.1.1.
At first, the Contacts kept duplicating themselves. I have about 1000 contacts in my Outlook, but Ovi Suite (and my N86 device) ends up sometimes with 1800 contacts -- of which 800 are duplicates. This is very annoying and time consuming to clean up of course. I have discovered that the problem is somehow linked to Ovi.com. I have since turned off syncing to Ovi.com and only keep my N86 device in sync with Outlook and Ovi Suite. But that wasn't before I had to basically delete all my contacts from the N86 device and from Ovi Suite, followed by a sync to Outlook.
Around this same time, I have noticed that my N86 device was missing appointments that I had entered into Outlook 2003. I discovered that the N86 device no longer syncs to Outlook through Ovi Suite. I keep getting the error message "Sync Canceled -- Could not sync calendar items and tasks. Plug the USB cable into your device again or connect via Bluetooth. Then sync again." I did reconnect my N86 device but the same error message shows each time. Basically, Ovi Suite has stopped syncing Calendar items with my N86 device now.
Can anyone suggest what might have gone wrong? Has anyone else experienced this problem? What can I do to get my calendar items back into my device?

ITune not in sync with outlook...

Hi every one...my firts post here in this forum..
I just got my first ipod (5thG 30gig)and have the latest iTunes installed(v.7.0.2.16)with OS Windows XP SP2.
When i try and sync my contacts and calender from outlook iTunes keeps crashing saying it's encountered a problem and must quit.... I can still use iTunes to load music etc. but as soon as i tic the box for sync with outlook it crashes...
Is there anyone else with the same problem...and more importenly....is there a solution??
I've downloaded "ipodsync" trial version so i do have all the info on my ipod, trial runs out shortly and will need to use iTunes to sync my calender etc. I could buy the product but it would seem uneccesary since iTune is "allegedly" capable of doing the job.
Please help...!!!!!

I think I may have solved this problem by making sure I don't have conflicts in my Outlook Calendar.
To find conflicts, open Outlook and view your Calendar and set the view to "Active Appointments" (list of current calendar entries) and check that the list doesn't include entries with warnings (a red icon is shown beside the appointment I think). Fix the conflicts and then the Calendar sync might start to work.
I had the same problem as you and then I started experimenting with Outlook macros for exporting in bulk the Calendar. When running my macro against Calendar entries, I came across an error message while debugging that made me clue-in on this problem.
