ITunes Upgrade failure to sync Outlook Contacts

Help!
After installing the new Itunes upgrade yesterday (1/16/08) 3/4 of my contacts were deleted from my iphone, but fortunately, remain in Outlook - I run windows XP and use the iphone primarily for business.
Currently - having followed all the "Troubleshooting iPhone contact and calendar syncing on Windows" suggestions posted on this website - I am still left with only 534 contacts compared with my actual 2500 in Outlook. Up until yetsreday, I had never had any sync problems and the iPhone / Windows Outlook interface had worked perfectly.
I need a solution now......help (please!)

Hi!
Well, I had exactly the same problem with the syncronization as KidJLD1964, Bigdaddy or Steve Kelem.
I work in an office and I have tried to do the sync. from my computer and from my boss computer and in both of them(we both have the Outlook 2003 installed from the company), the maximum that I could syncronize are exactly 638 contacts (out of over 2000).
I have done it in my computer at home... and it works perfectly! (the problem is that I must work with the computer from my office!)
Therefore, the problem seems to be in between the Outlook from my office and the iTunes. I'm going to try to see if I can change things in the antivirus or the firewall... maybe that's the key.
I agree with Grant.kinsel... there seems to be a bug in the sync application that affects only some Outlooks and not some others... I would recommend everybody to try the sync from other computer since that way, at least, it's clear where the problem is, although it remains unclear where is the solution.
I'll keep you all posted if I find out anything.
Good luck to you all!!!

ITunes needs to close - Sync Outlook contacts or calendar

I installed iTunes 7 after purchasing iPod. Everything works ok but if I select to sync contacts or calendar using Outlook (Outlook2003SP2) a error message appears: "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" - Error signature:
AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 7.0.0.70 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 35f7ddc9
After closing iTunes I restart it again and some seconds later the same error message appears. I have to deselect the "sync" option and everything returns ok but I could not have my contacts or calendar on iPod.
I saw a FAQ page explaining how can I export the contacts or appointments (as files) but I would like to know why this "sync" option doesn't work before do this "workaroud".
Any ideas that could help me solving this problem?
Thank you in advance!

This is the best remedy on the web for getting MANY contacts to sync from Outlook to your iPod.
First of all, you need to open iTunes and connect your iPod to make sure that you have enabled your iPod as a storage device. TO do this just look for your iPod in the DEVICES and select it. Summary Tab  Check the box, “Enable disk use.” Then make sure you click, “Apply” in the lower right corner.
In Outlook, go to Contacts and select all the items you want. You can use shift-click and control-click to choose multiple items. Choose Actions > Forward as vCard. This creates a new e-mail message with all the Contacts you selected converted to vCard format. Address and send the e-mail to a trusted friend - like yourself. Although all the vCards are right there for the taking, there's apparently no way to access them all at once except as a received e-mail. Collect your e-mail in Outlook. When you look at the received message, you should see all the vCards as attachments. Select the message that you sent with all the vCards. Choose File > Save Attachments > All Attachments. Note: if you use an e-mail program other than Outlook to collect your mail, it might not have the Save All Attachments feature. In the Save All Attachments dialog that appears, click OK. Next, you'll see a Save All Attachments file list. Navigate to your iPod's contacts folder. (Do NOT go to the folder called “iPod” in your program files. You need to find the name of your iPod in the various drives you have in your computer.) I didn’t name the folder. I just clicked OK and everything worked perfectly. You're done - the contacts have been shipped off to your iPod. Then I performed a sync and now I have every contact listed perfectly.
I modified the directions from http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mizd2969/is_200408/ain7183943
These are the best directions on the web because they avoid the individual vCard sync process.

TS1347 Itunes is no longer syncing calendar/contacts

Itunes is no longer syncing Outlook contacts and calendar on any of my Apple products. I have uninstalled Itunes etc and reinstalled and no change. I have also checked Outlook addin. Nothing. Help Please!!!

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?
Ron

the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
handbrake is a free program which does this for you
itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
apple don't use DRM for music any more

How do I configure itunes to look for my Outlook contacts and calendar?

Being fairly new with the iPhone, how do I configure itunes to look for my Outlook contacts and calendar? At the moment,when I try to sync, I get the "No supported calendar application can be found" message. Thanks!

You could try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923, then reinstalling iTunes. This will replace a potentially corrupt Outlook plugin. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

Sync outlook contact

How to sync outlook contact with Icloud and my iphone

I have recently upgraded from a 4s to a 6 model and experienced that it did not sync with Outlook. I contacted Apple support (Case ID: 698537496) whose advise was to upgrade to Outlook 2010 and MS8. I hung up on the service representative as he obviously was not sufficiently competent to resolve the issue. I the resorted to disconnect everything related to iCloud and bingo it works.

How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

They need to be registered under different Apple ID's. The initial Apple ID is set when you first start the phone up. If you've already registered the phone to the iTunes account, back it up to your computer, and then have iTunes do a factory reset. Go to www.icloud.com, log in with your current Apple ID, select "Find My iPhone," choose the iPhone you want to dissociate from your primary Apple ID from the upper left, and then click the little circled X ("remove").
When you start the phone, it will have you go through the setup process again, at which time you need to create a unique Apple ID for the device. You can then restore it from your iTunes backup to get back your apps and other settings.
Whenever you use the iTunes store, use the login information (Apple ID and password) that you were using before. Basically, the second Apple ID that you created is purely used for accessing iCloud services, which includes synchronization of contacts, iCal events, and other such things.

Does iphone sync Outlook contact categories

Does iphone sync Outlook contact categories?

Hi Lawrence
I have now changed from a Blackberry Q10 to an iPhone 5s and all my contacts have synced across via outlook exchange. But they have not synced into their relevant/groups and none of the contact photos have synced across either.
Apple Care now tell me that this will not happen with the iPhone due to the way that this information is stored on the phone.
Do you, or anyone else there, have any other views on this please?

ITunes 6.0.1.3 not syncing Outlook Contacts or Calendar with ipod Nano 4GB

I have Outlook 2003 installed and setup with a Microsoft Exchange Server. I have about 200 contacts currently stored in it.
I recently purchased a ipod nano 4gb with hopes of syncing my contacts and calendar with that and being able to throw away my old Palm. The ipod nano works great for syncing music but I can't get it to sync either the calendar or contacts from outlook.
I check the box for syncing contacts and choose Microsoft Outlook from the drop down. Then iTunes only gives me the option of syncing all contacts (which is fine with me) and I click Okay. Then I choose update from the ipod nano right click menu. The status bar says updating contacts but does not import any of my contact to my ipod. Also, except for the 1st time, the Permission Window asking for access to Outlook has not popped up again. When it did that first time, I was told that there was an error and itunes could not copy contacts over. Since then there have been no errors from iTunes.
I have tried all the steps in the apple online help docs (unchecking boxes, restarting, re-checking, etc..) but can't find a solution. I don't want to have to manually Save As each calendar item and contact. Frankly, I'd rather just return the device.
Can anyone help me?
thanks in advance.

Possible. It is just odd that the day before the update to 9.x.x (I forgot the release), it worked great. Following that upgrade, the sync died. I could reinstall the old release (per instructions from Apple Tech Support) and it would sync. However, not upgrading your iTunes means not upgrading your OS...and that is not an option. However, I think I will have XP reistalled on my machine...and then put a fresh install on iTunes...and see what happens.

Cannot Sync Outlook Contacts to iPhone 4S from iTunes

I configured a verizon email account in Outlook. Then, when I go to iTunes to sync and upload contacts, a choice for Outlook doesn't appear. Only a choice for Windows Contacts. iTunes apparently doesn't see the new email account configuration. How do I upload Outlook contacts to the iPhone 4 s? Help !!

If it worked at one time this is usually caused by a bad contact record in the contact database. As a start open Contacts in Outlook, using the Phone List view. Open the first contact, then save it. If you get an error this is a bad contact. If this does not find that the first record is bad open iTunes go to Edit/Preferences, then the Syncing tab, and Reset Sync History and try again.
If it still won't sync contacts you can use scanpst.exe to check the PST file. It is usually in C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033. Instructions can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287497
Alternatively, using Outlook, export the PST file as a CSV file, then import it.

How do I sync outlook contacts and calendar without deleting apps?

I have a second iPad. I wish to sync my Outlook contacts and calendar with my second iPad, however, upon doing so, I am prompted that I will be deleting the apps on the second iPad, which I suffered through yesterday (twice). Ideas on how to get around this? I am wondering how iTunes is not differentiating between the two iPads.
Any assistance is welcomed. Thank you.

Hi Bormond65,
Can you tell us a little bit more about your configuration? Are you using Exchange? Are you currently run Outlook for Mac (Office 2011) on your MacBook Pro? Or are you looking to migrate data from a PC to Outlook for Mac on your MacBook Pro?

I cannot sync outlook contacts and calenders

i am using Mac book air and outlook mac 2011..

I am not sure but I think the Outlook "sync" with iTunes only works in one direction - i.e. from your PC to your iPhone - if you are looking to export the contacts the otehr way round - from your phone to your PC, you can refer to the following alternative methods to sync iPhone contacts.

Sync Outlook Contact List and AOL Contact List

I have several Outlook Accounts and an AOL Account. I would like to combine my calendar and contact lists into a single one. When I sync my phone, will the sync process allow mw to do that? If so, how?

The iPhone supports syncing contact info and calendar events direct via the iTunes sync process with Outlook 2003 or 2007. It doesn't matter how many email accounts you are accessing with Outlook.
The iPhone's mail client supports accessing POP or IMAP accounts, and can access an Exchange account via ActiveSync, which Apple licensed from Microsoft for the iPhone's mail client.
You can access an AOL account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's mail client, which includes an AOL account preset that creates the account as an IMAP account.
If your AOL contact list is not available in your Outlook contact list, you needs to do so since the iPhone does not support syncing contact info with the AOL program's address book.

How do I automatically sync outlook contacts to iphone contacts? My email and calendar does this but even though in settings I have the contacts ON it does not.

How do I get my outlook contacts to automatically sync to my iphone 5? In settings I have it set up to do so BUT it does not. My email and calendar updates every 1/2 hour but I can't get my contacts to auto update. Please advise.

Start with your finger at the bottom of the screen (about even with the home button) and swipe in an upward motion. There should be a row of icons at the top of a grey field. if the quarter-moon icon is bright white, tap it. If it was (and still is) dark, take the iPhone in to be evaluated by a qualified technician.
