New Desktop Mgr Stops Abruptly During Outlook 2007 Calendar Sync

Like an **bleep**, I upgraded something that was working perfectly.    I upgraded to BB software v4.2 on my 8830 and upgraded the Desktop Manager to v4.7.  Now, when I sync, it just brings up a Vista dialog that says it has stopped working and that Windows is looking for a solution (which it never finds).  I tried everything including turning off the AV and User Account Control (UAC) and removing/reinstalling the Desktop Mgr.  I even tried using Computer Manager to change the drive letter.  The only thing that lets me get through the sync is if I designate that the device calendar completely replaces the Outlook calendar every time I sync.  This is unacceptable, as it means that I can never originate a calendar event on Outlook and hope to sync it with my BB.   Aaaarghhh! 
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, as a last ditch effort, I blew up most of my calendar events, and now the sync is working.  Must have been a corrupt calendar event.  Anyway, back to the task of reconstructing my electronic calendar....

  • IPhone-Outlook 2007 Calendar Sync (What worked for me)

    Hi;
    Today after 3 weeks of day after day trial my iPhone-Outlook 2007 Calenar synch problems seems to be fully fixed. Once again this is what worked for me - I am sharing it and hope that can help you as well:
    Overview
    ========================
    I now fully believe that the root cause of the issue starts from a corrupted appoinment entry in your local calendar file. This appointment entry in turn breaks your outlook sync file known as the .OST file. I will tell you how to fix this later. This file is what iTune uses to synch the iPHONE calendar with your Outlook 2007 (same should work for outlook 2003).
    In short when the outlooksync.DLL file called by iTUNE, request to sync with outlook - it is the outlook that cannot resolve a corrupt .OST file and all goes to **** after that.
    I say this as "This is up to you find this bad calendar entry, get rid of it, get rid of the .OST file, and finally tell Outlook to do a repair job on your outlook installation. I will tell you all how to do this as well.
    Steps to fix this issue:
    ===========================================
    1- Go to your outlook calendar and delete any old appointment that still is in there. I got rid of anything older that 2 weeks. To do this just go to your calendar in outlook ... swith to a List view ... sort based on date and highlight anything older than that date and delete. This took me about 30-45 miutes of work... so be paitent with this step. Also, get rid of any holiday notification BS that Outlook puts in your calendar ... you can do this later.
    2- Go to outlook-tools-trust center-click on Add-In and then at the bottom of the screen click on Go and validate that your two outlook sync dlls are marked and enabled.
    3- Shut down outook and go to the following directory.
    C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\
    Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
    and rename your .OST file ... (there should be only one out there).
    3- Go to your control panel and do start/stop applications. Select Outlook and click on change ... outlook will come up with a few options. Select "Repair" this should force outlook to replace the .OST file which you just renamed.
    4- Now starts your outlook and let it do its initial sync. Make sure iTune is off at this point. After the Outlooks initialization is done ... now comes the moment of truth...
    5- Start iTune (I recommend that you select manual sync) and sycn with your calendar.
    At this point I learned that all my calendar items have come in ....
    Good luck and let me know if this works with you. Please Please remember the first step ... getting rid of your old appointments is the most important step ... don't rush it ... get rid of anything that you don't need.
    Cheers;
    Darab.

    You can try resetting sync history by clicking on edit at the top of itunes and choosing preferences. Then click on the iphone icon at the right top of the window that opens. There is a button at the bottom of the window to reset sync history.
    Also, you can try creating a new login on the computer.
    Open outlook and put in a few trial events.
    Then sync the iphone to this outlook calendar replacing all calendar data on the iphone.
    This is to see if you end up with dots on every day.
    If you do not end up with dots on every day, then you might want to take a look at any reoccurring events in the other outlook calendar.
    Hope this helps.

  • 3GS, Windows 7, Outlook 2007, Calendar Syncing Problems

    As above, Sync completes with no issues, Contacts all sync with 2007 fine, but Calendar entries are not syncd either way.
    Info Tab in iTunes 10 (latest version just downloaded)has tick in the box to say sync caledars
    Please Help!

    I had this same problem. The Genius Bar at the Apple store told me the problem was with Outlook. I upgraded my computer with Microsoft Office 2010 and my problem was solved. Fortunately for me I was able to get this upgrade at a steep discount thru an employee discount program. Others won't be so lucky and this "solution" could prove to be rather expensive.
    I say this problem was caused by Apple failing to maintain backward compatibility with existing platforms that their IPhone customers are currently using. After all, not all IPhone users ONLY use Apple computers and this problem only occurred after updating the software on my phone to version 4.2.1 and I Tunes to version 10 on my computer.

  • Outlook 2007 calendar entries appear in iPhone calendar as invites

    Has anyone found a solution to the problem of new entries into my own PC Outlook 2007 calendar (on a university server, not on the hard drive itself), transferred via Microsoft Exchange to my 2.0 iPhone appearing as 'invitations' instead of simply calendar entries? These can't be edited or modified, just accepted, declined or maybe'd. Entries made on the iPhone calendar sync to the Outlook calendar normally, as simple events, not invitations.
    I've seen comments about case sensitivity of the log-in ID but mine is simply my lower case initials on both systems.
    I spoke to an Apple product specialist -- nice but clueless on this issue.
    Any discoveries to share?

    Hi!
    Sorry If I'm hijacking your thread, but I believe we and another company are having similar issues... It appears sometimes (but not always) a meeting will be accepted on the iPhone, appear on the Calendar but never sync back to the server. The acceptance request on the Outlook side shows "This meeting is not on the Calendar. It has been moved or deleted". If viewing this message on the iPhone, it IS on the Calendar. If viewing in Outlook, it IS NOT. Hope I made that clear??? This is possible to have the reverse where a meeting is accepted in Outlook but doesn't appear on the iPhone. For us (and a buddy with similar Exchange config) this is intermittent and cannot be easily duplicated as most meetings are handled properly. This is effecting multiple users but the only common thread is they all have iPhones running Exchange ActiveSync.
    We've already tried different release versions, wiping the device, all the basic stuff. Log files on the Exchange server are clear (no errors).
    As far as we can tell, this started happening (or was first noticed) about 3 weeks ago. Nothing has been changed on the server side of things...
    Just hoping for some insight, suggestions, or positive thoughts...
    TIA!

  • Outlook 2007 Calendar Appointments have stopped syncing with iPhone 3GS and Vice Versa.

    Outlook 2007 Calendar Appts have stopped syncing with iPhone 3GS and Vice Versa. Only noticed in last month or so. Help required please.
    May have been after an iTunes update.
    Have upgraded to latest version of iTunes and iOS but to no avail.
    Contacts sync OK both ways, it's just Calendar Appointments that don't.
    Any ideas and assistance greatly appreciated.

  • My Outlook 2007 Calendar stopped syncing with my iCloud Calendar

    My iCloud Calendar no longer syncs with my Outlook 2007 Calendar.  When someone sends me a mobileme invite it shows up in my Outlook but not my iCloud.  When I click refresh iCloud, it doesn't.  What do I do?

    I upgraded to 8.1.1 and thought this might have solved a problem, but the syncing between outlook.com and the IOS device is not robust, and can be broken pretty easily.
    Here is a repeatable problem that causes the syncing to stop if there are 2 outlook.com calendars being synced with an IOS device:
    1) Reconfigure Outlook.com Account on IOS device.  This downloads all existing outlook.com calendar entries and starts clean.
    2)  Create "appointment 1" in "calendar 1" on outlook.com (This will sync with Ipad without a problem)
    3)  Create "appointment 2" in "calendar 2" on Ipad (This will sync with outlook.com without a problem)
    4)  Edit "appointment 1" on Ipad to switch it from "calendar 1" to "calendar 2".
    The appointment will NOT switch on outlook.com, and all syncing between outlook.com and the IOS calendar appears to stop after this.  There may be other edits/changes that would cause this problem, or perhaps the syncing would just stop on its own anyway.
    This is a pretty desirable workflow/process.  (i.e. Person 1/Calendar 1 switches responsibility for an appointment to Person2/Calendar2.... or... Person 1/Calendar 1 makes an appointment on the IPAD, and then later wants to modify it when they are at their PC.

  • Desktop Manager 5.0.1.18 will not sync outlook 2007 calendar

    Since I have upgraded to Desktop Manger 5.0.1.18, my Storm will not sync with my Outlook 2007 calendar.   It is still syncing memopad, address book and task.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Since you've given us zero indications of what, exactly, goes on (what it tries, where it fails, error messages, etc.), we have nothing to go on. Hence, I can only suggest starting over using the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
    1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
    2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
    KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
    3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
    https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
    Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
    KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
    4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    5) Install DTM to your PC
    6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
    7) Start the organizer configuration over:
    KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
    Hopefully that will get things going again.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Outlook 2007 Calendar not syncing any more with Blackberry Bold

    I am looking for possible causes to a problem that started some time over the last 2 weeks. My BB has been running 4.6.0.162 (put out by Rogers, my provider) and I'm using the 4.6 Desktop Manager.
    Until then, whenever I'd sync my BB Bold with my Outlook 2007 Calendar (on Vista), everything (Calendar, Memo, Contacts & Tasks) would sync with no problems.
    Since that time, (although I didn't realize it at first) calendar appointment items that were entered on one side would not be synced on the other side, i.e: BB calendar appointment items would stay on the BB, Outlook 2007 calendar appointment items would stay on the PC. Everything else syncs OK. In fact, new tasks that have a due date will be added to the other side's calendar with no problems!
    I've tried different things, including rebooting both sides, deleting the calendar file on the BB, etc., but to no avail.  
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!
    Thanks. 

    how many calendars do you have on your device?

  • Problems syncing outlook 2007 calendar and ipod classic

    I did a quick search and found many people with this problem but no solution that worked for me.
    Basically my outlook 2007 calendar has suddenly stopped syncing with my ipod (I'm running Vista 64). Although I can see my calendar in the contacts tab - and there is a progress bar when i sync my ipod for calendars to sync - i cannot view any appointments on my ipod. Contacts from Outlook, however, are still syncing fine.
    I have tried to reset all disabled products on the help menu in outlook but this hasn't worked. Others have suggested that Outlook should be open before trying to sync, this also didn't work.
    Does anyone have any ideas how to sort this out short of manually transferring my appointments to my ipod.
    Not sure if it is of any relevance but my calendar file on my ipod is currently completely empty at the moment.

    After countless hours of restoring the **** ipod I've finally got my calendar back on it. I think what finally did it was backing up my calendar in outlook and then deleting it, syncing the ipod with the new blank outlook calendar and then reloading my backed up calendar in outlook and syncing my ipod again with the calendar. I know there's a lot of folks in the same position I was in so I hope this helps.

  • Can't sync Outlook 2007 Calendar on iPhone 3G, iOS 4, iTunes 9.2, WindowsXP

    I did upgrade my iPhone 3G to iOS 4.0 and iTunes to 9.2. Now I can’t sync Outlook 2007 calendar. Contacts and notes are ok.
    I did try to sync on Windows XP SP3 and Vista SP2. I was unable to sync calendar on both computers.
    I had this problem before with iTunes 9x. I was able to fix it creating a new PST file and copying all folders to this new file.
    Now with iOS 4.x and iTunes 9.2 it doesn’t work. I did uninstall iTunes, clear the Windows registry, and delete all Apple folders. I also downloaded again iTunes and install it from zero. It didn’t work at all.
    I also uncheck, check, recheck the Advanced options in iTunes to delete, doesn’t synchronize calendars, and contacts on iPhone… nothing works.
    What else can I do to fix this pain? Any suggestion?
    Daniel

    Same problem here. Just bought an iPhone 3GS, downloaded iTunes 9.2 and it crashes my Outlook 2007. Outlook simply stops responding, and I have to kill it. Won't even start in Safe Mode. I have to restart the computer to revive it. Next time I start iTunes -- CRASH!
    I bought the iPhone because I wanted to sych my emails, calendars and notes. Do I have to return the iPhone now?

  • TS2481 Outlook 2007 Calendar will no longer sync with iPhone 4S.

    Outlook 2007 has synced perfectly with my iPhone 4s for over a year but suddenly the calendar will not sync while contacts does. Microsoft says it is either the itunes (have uninstalled & reinstalled twice) or a problem with the pst file. Any solutions?

    Have you run scanpst.exe? That file is in the Microsoft Office folder. That does a scan of your Outlook.pst file and can help fix problems. Can you remember what you were doing when the problem began. Many times recurring appointments with open end dates can cause problems. Another thing that Outlook/Apple do not like too well are the way you set a reminder in an appointment. If you have an appointment with a reminder that is set to zero in Outlook, it can confuse the Apple calendar. Another thing to check is in iTunes, and that is resetting the sync history.
    Also, you should not have to re-enter years of data, since the iPhone by default only syncs the last 30 days worth of data. Your archive generally is just resident on the computer. Once data goes to archive, it is removed from the phone due to the time period.
    Try creating a new calendar in Outlook and put a couple of dummy appointments in it. Connect the iPhone to iTunes and set iTunes to sync all calendars. See if this new calendar syncs. If it does, you can import all of your old calendar data as Lawrence states to the new calendar and make that your default calendar by deleting the old one.
    See if any of these steps helps.

  • Help getting Outlook 2007 to sync with proper calendar on Blackberry Curve

    Hi I'm new to this forum and have looked for specific answers but not luck as of yet. I'll try to explain what I need to happen fully so it may seem like I'm rambling.
    I've recently been issued a new computer with Vista and Outlook 2007 for work. Previously I had Win XP and Outlook 2003. Always I had my blackberry set up to recieve all my emails from my personal email accounts as well as my work email.
    My problem is that now when I place items on my Outlook 2007 calendar and sync to my blackberry, my Outlook items don't show up on blackberry and vice versa.
    If I inititiate calander item from blackberry, making sure I am using work email address, it shows up as appt on blackberry calendar but doesn't show up on Outlook.
    If I recieve email invite for appointment on Blackberry, it does show up as appointment. I believe when I set up Outlook 2007 it must be placing the items in a different default calendar, but even though I've selected on blackberry to show all calendars, it still doesn't show up.
    Syncing is working properly between the phone and outlook as far as connection, just not showing up.
    What I want to happen of course is, enter an item on phone and have it sync to outlook, or enter item on outlook and show up on blackberry..but that's not happening. I've tried all settings I can see and am at a loss.
    How can I change what items are in my Outlook 2007 are set as default? It's so screwy I can't even explain what's going on...I'm very tempted to reinstall Outlook 2001 just because it doesn't recognize different calanders so at least all items would show up on blackberry. Help. Thanks.

    Okay update. I've deleted all personal address CICAL files in blackberry except for the one I want to use. I cleaned the service records, did a hard reboot, the resynced my phone.
    All worked well except for Calendar. My Outlook calendar is full on computer but nothing happened to phone calendar. This makes me think that Outlook 2007 is storing all the calendar entries as a different default, rather than my work email address, but I don't know how to change.
    Also, I don't know how to covert entries from one default address to another in Outlook. Probably something in initial setup that I clicked or didn't change properly.
    Another question, I sync via cable (not wireless). One of the options in the intellisync setup is Microsoft Outlook Internet Settings or Outlook. I'm using outlook of course but since the MS Outlook Internet Settings is default choice, I've just left it at that (although when I change it nothing seems to happen anyway). Should this be one way or another?
    Thanks.

  • Sync Outlook 2007 Calendar

    In the Outlook contacts, when you put the birthday on "John" contact it automatically creates a entry on calendar with the name "John's Birhday".
    Now when you sync your outlook 2007 calendar with iphone, those "john's Birthday" entries does not appear on IPhone.
    Does anyone knows why ?

    I am so angry with Apple I could scream!
    I bought the first iPhone the day it came out and spent a month, and more hours than I care to remember, working with the Apple technicians before they finally got the phone to synch with Outlook, as it was advertised to do.
    Apple does not adequately test their products, especially software, before shipping it. We got the phones the same day at their technical support people.
    And now with the new 2.0 software release, the SAME PROBLEM is back!!! The same frustrated users trying to get the product to work as advertised with the same software bugs!!
    I currently on hold waiting to ask the technical support people to let me download the old software until they fix the bugs and get this working.
    I love this phone, but I will never buy another Apple product or download another Apple software program without waiting for months for the early adopters to spend all of their free time debugging Apple products for them.
    BTW, the problem for most of us caused by the inability for the iTunes add in to load in Outlook. In Outlook 2007 go to : Tools : Trust Center : Addins . There should be an iTunes add in that allows the programs to sync.

  • How to Sync Outlook 2007 Calendar

    I am able to sync Outlook Contacts but NOT Outlook 2007 Calendar. I keep getting told to log out of Windows and logh back in, but that does not help either. I have only one Outlook Calender. Seems odd that I can grab Contacts, but not the Celndar file..... Help

    Hi to all,
    I am unable to sync neither my calendar nor my contacts to my brand new 160GB iPod classic from iTunes 7.5. All ticked and enabled in preferences, I am aufait with iTunes so I have all the settings correctly enabled - I believe my stumbling block is Outlook/Office 2007 Enterprise Edition??? I have switched to Vista in the last few weeks but that is not the root of the problem, as I had this problem first on my last machine - XP HOME.
    Is there a conflict with new generation iPod's and Outlook 2007?

  • Outlook 2007 calendar events font changes after syncing with iTunes

    I use Outlook 2007 on a Windows XP PC. I have no problems syncing Outlook calendar events with my iPhone 4 other than for one highly annoying detail. My default font in Outlook is set to Times New Roman 12 pt. Whenever I sync, all of my calendar events' text in Outlook is changed from Times New Roman 12 pt. to Calibri 11 pt., and sometimes more recently, to Arial 10 pt.
    It's driving me nuts as I find Calibri to be hideous-looking. In addition to the font change, all other special formatting such as bold and italics are removed.
    Has anyone experienced this before or know what's going on? Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    Has no one experienced this issue? I can't understand why this happening. It's been almost two months since I posted this.
    To reiterate: After syncing with iTunes (the newest version), all custom text formatting in Outlook 2007 calendar events are changed to Calibri 11 point, and sometimes more recently, to Arial 10 point. My default font is set to Times New Roman 12 point.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
