"Microsoft Sync Services has encountered a problem and needs to close"

whenever I try to sync entourage with iCal or Address Book, I get the following message: "Microsoft Sync Services has encountered a problem and needs to close". I can't seem to get it to stop. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

I finally solve this problem in my imac....

1 In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
2 Open Terminal.
3 In the Terminal window, type or paste the following command on a single line:
/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl reset
4 Press Return.
5 When the operation is complete quit Terminal.

    I keep getting the Syce services error.  I did find

    Hi everyone,
    I also met this issue before few days ago and I was looking forward a best solution for solving this issue too. In the midst of lot of answers
    from different users and consultants, I got a blog that was recently published by someone, and then I move towards the blog beside that I discovered a nicer solution. It’s my personal experience. If any of you want to get free by barring this issue then you
    also can try this solution once along with if you too wants to switch from Mac Outlook to Windows Outlook, here is a good solution for that matter too.

    Error code: MobileMe Services has encountered a problem and needs to close
    I get this mesage everytime i open Outlook and it slows down opening. This problem started when itunes updated. What do I do to solve this?

    Hi turingtest2 (you pass, BTW):  Thanks for the speedy reply.  MobileMe doesn't appear in the list of programs which can be uninstalled.  I tried the link you suggest: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall but when I tried to "Run Now", I get the error message:  " Troubleshooting cannot continue because an error has occurred... etc.... [code 80072F8F]"  So googled this error & found a tool called (80072f8f) Repair Tool   -  I'm leery to download yet more stuff from non-microsoft sites -- any recommendations?

    I'm curious how you are running this code within excel as I would expect you would've had to write a dll to expose the SDK as COM in order to be able to access it from an excel document.

  • How can I stop syncing error message: "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close"

    On my Mac I am endlessly receiving this message: "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close" it relates to the sync which between Calendars (iCal and Entourage) .
    The error messages were coming up every 5 SECONDS and were impossible to deal with. They stated there was a 'Blame Module' which wasEntourageCore
      I have been unable to find any idea how to resolve this.
    Please can anyone describe what they have done to sort this?
    I am using MS Office 2008.
    Turning off the sync between the two calendars was not the answer, as the messages continued. So I have temporarily disabled the sync between iCal/Entourage and my iPad.  This has prevented the error message, but obviously means I must enter diary dates manually on iPad which is the whole point of the sync!
      I haven't found a way to sync between iCal and iPad - this would be a possible work-round. But I'd be so grateful to know how to resolve the sync error.

    Any idea how to fix this problem that casuses this error?
    'NI-PAL Service Manager has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
    I have been re-loading LabVIEW 8.0.1 Pro Dev Sytem, NI-DAQ (Traditional) and NI-DAQmx, all day.  This probelm seems to be related to the fact that I can, no longer, create executables or open my .lvproj files, yielding the other error:

  • Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are

    I get following message:
      Adobe® Flash® Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    How can I solve this?

    People,
    Listen. This service is, has been and seemingly will be: FREE. So while emotions are running on the hot side of the guage, let's remember; it is FREE. Adobe owes no one anything. Now who's to blame, really? We, the people are to blame. Why? Because everyone has been ok with the fact that one company essentially designed and released a technology for streaming from the net. One company. And almost all of us are using this one company's technology to stream; for FREE.
    But now we are not ok with it when, after we are prompted to update, we have the issue of it not working? We all never saw the ridiculously high potential for this one company to screw things up, intentionally or otherwise? What the ramifications, that we are now experiencing, might be? Nah, we just took it for granted that we would continue to be served. Well the serve came, everyone. Mistake or otherwise.
    It's like this country [US], up until four-years ago. Everyone was either running around with snow shovels and hefty garbage bags to gather all the money they were making or sailing the seas of expectation and an, 'I am out there to get mine' attitude, and then the sh*t hits the fan and now people are complaining? About the very system until four years ago was spoon feeding them poolside with mai-tai's? While it was crushing everyone else in the known world?
    No doubt it seems incredulous that a multi-billion dollar company has an IT department that would include in an update, for their own software, that would be inconducive to working. No doubt. But keep in mind: we are all either using browsers by Apple or MS. Anything happens to these browsers, including a virus or anything else that threatens our use of them and...?
    So climb off the haughty, 'I deserve' crap and walk on the solid ground of trying to resolve this issue here at Adobe and around the net. If we were to band together, as the 99%, we could solve this, no problem. But then that holds true with resolving this fictitious economic downturn nonsense, that we solidly take for truth at face value, because our mainstream media says so. But no other species on this rock flying through space would know what the f*ck we were talking about.
