New iphone, synced with Outlook, but messages remain 'unread'.

I just moved to a new iphone 3gs and even though I didn't' change anything on my computer my iphone email remains marked 'unread' with the little blue dot and notification numbers.
I see people have this problem a lot, but previously when I opened outlook and just downloaded email the blue dots would disappear on the iphone. I could almost see it happen live if I updated the iphone email. I didn't even have to read the email on my computer, it just automatically recognized it was downloaded by outlook and therefore removed the blue dot and notification.
I should note that in my outlook settings I have never had it set to remove email from server right away (I have always left my email on the server for a week to get email on the road and as a backup for HD failure).
So for whatever reason when I set up the new iphone email (had to do it manually) this time it does not know I've downloaded the email to Outlook and does not automatically take the blue dot away. I'm not sure how it did it before but I would like to have it working again.
Any thoughts?

My iPhone email works with my Gmail account.
Since going to OS 3.0, I've found that the unread indicator on the mail icon is wrong if I delete new messages without reading them first.
I now seem to be stuck with 1 inbox mail unread despite all my inbox mails being read (and there's only 7 of them, not easy to miss).

Unable to sync iPad to iMac. Get message 'iPad can't be synced because not enough free space to hold items in iTunes Library'. Only major content is iTunes U stuff (lots of videos). Don't download any music or other videos to iPad.
Deleted iTunesU content on iPad and unticked iTunes U from syncing on iMac but message remains.
Very frustrating.

No longer a problem. After leaving a while and trying again the iPad and iMac successfully synced.

Fixing iphone sync with outlook

There are multiple threads about problems snycing iTunes with Outlook (iPad, iPhone etc.). This affects Outlook calendar and contacts, often creating multiple contact lists and false calendar entires, often pre-fixed "ModGrp" or ModCal". After multiple tries I think I have figured out what you need to do: here's what worked for me, I hope it works for you.
First the cause. If your PC/Mac has crashed with Outlook open you probably have bad data in Outlook. Most software is fault-tolerant to this but not iTunes (my seventh software to link to Outlook and the only one not fault tolerant, so I'm certain it's an iTunes problem). I have written this for solving contact problems with explanation afterwards for calendars (you'll change item 6 and read the footnote). Read the instructions first so you know what you're about to do. You will have to rename a folder and delete your iPhones history but otherwise that's about it.
1)    Download scanpst.exe from Microsoft, instructions are at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227. Print this, you'll need it at step 5
2)    Close both Outlook and iTunes
3)    Got to C:\Users\[Your username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\
       In File Manager use Folder Options from the Tools menu and select Show hiden files and folders from the View Tab, if you can't see this folder
4)    Rename the folder \SyncServices as \SyncServices.old or something. Once you have finished you can delete this folder
5)    Use scanpst.exe (step 1 above) to fix your Outlook file. Instructions for this are at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227 noted above
6)    When scanpst is complete and has closed, open Outlook and go to your contact list. Select each ModGrp and hit Delete, then confirm deletion
7)    Be sure not to delete any contact lists that you want to retain, then close Outlook
8)    Open iTunes with your iPhone/Pad/iWhatever plugged in to USB and select iPhone/iPad/iWhatever
9)    Select your iWhatever in the Devices list on the left and select Preferences from the Edit menu at the top
10) Click the Devices button in the dialog box and click Reset Snyc History, just in case. Click OK to close the Dialog Box
11) At the top of your iPhone Device window click the Info button (second from the left right at the top)
12) Deselect Contacts, Calendars and Mail options so iTunes doesn't sync with Outlook in any way
      You'll get a prompt to remove contacts/whatever lists from your iWhatever device. Choose the Remove Contacts button
13) Hit Apply or Sync (bottom right of iTunes). This should have cleared iTunes of bad ModGrp sync lists and iPhone contacts etc.
      Next we'll restore these from Outlook
14) Reselect to sync with Outlook Contacts, Calendars and Mail - the options you deselected in step 12. Hit Apply or Sync
      The above should restore all the valid contact and other data from Outlook onto your iPhone etc
15) Once sync has completed reopen Outlook and check the bad MdGrp lists have gone. Unplug iPhone and check you don't have multiple ModGrp lists
I haven't had calender problems but my understanding from posts to this forum is that in step 6 above, you may have to export the appointments calendars from your calendar and then delete the calendar. It's much more involved than having a contacts list problem.
If you choose to tidy up aftwards, go back to steps 3 and 4 and delete the backup .old folder as iTunes created a new one when you opened it at step 8.
I have run the above three times now and it works every time. Since every tenth or so time I open iTunes it causes my PC to lock, usually with Outlook open, so I expect this to be a frequent event. iTunes is well documented as a digustingly bad piece of software and seems to be the penalty we pay for having an iPhone, which actually works. Maybe when Apple adopts Flash I'll buy an iPad and double the number of times I have to run it, but not otherwise. iTunes and Flash are the two main reasons I have not bought a Mac or iPad.
Have fun.

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

New Palm - Sync with Outlook

I recently had to purchase a new palm centro. My previous palm centro was synced with Outlook and I had no issues. I would like to sync my new phone with my current calender and contacts in my outlook but I am having issues. Nothing is being moved onto my phone when I sync. HELP!
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Ok, look in the username dropdown in Palm desktop and see how many usernames you have in Palm desktop.
Look on your Centro in hotsync. In the upper right corner is the hotsync username asociated with the Centro. Is this the name in Palm desktop that you were sync'ing with previously? If not, you need to erase the existing username on the Centro and then select the existing username when you sync again.
A hard reset will erase the username and all the data on the Centro.

My iphone syncs with everything but iphoto. It used to but has now stopped. I cannot get the photos from my phone to my computer. any ideas?

My iphone syncs with everything except iphoto.
It used to be able to do it, but has now stopped.
I'm trying to sync photos so I can upgrade my phone, and keep all my photos taken with my old phone.
But I cannot get the photos from my phone to my computer because when I link my phone to my mac iphoto doesn't recognise it at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Lots of folks fix these kinds of issues with a simple restart of the phone. Others require a Reset of the phone.

IPhone sync with Outlook fails with sync server not starting

Hi, Community -
Up until a few days ago my iPhone synced beautifully with Outlook 2010 under Windows 7 on Parallels (running on Yosemite, MBP late 2014).
I don't know what changed but I cannot sync the two anymore. I keep getting error messages. Either a Windows error message saying that Mingler.exe stopped working or an iTunes message saying that the iPhone could not sync because the sync server did not start.
I have tried the following:
Reset the sync history
Uninstalled and re-installed iTunes (several times)
Tried to restore to older backup versions (I keep backups of the iPhone backup files)
Synced with other iTunes installations
Restored the iPhone to a state about two weeks old (when syncing still worked)
All to no avail.
The Mingler.exe crash report under Windows gave these details:

(Yes, I know ... I should not expect support on Windows issues here ... but by now I am pretty sure it is an iTunes issue.)
Could anyone please help? I really need my calendar and contacts updated on my phone!
Thanks for any help you can offer.

OK ... I am not going to go into the depths of how a company that makes such nice hardware cannot get its act together to write decent software, too. I'll also spare you my anger on why I need to sync my iPhone on a Mac throgh Windows in order to connect to the most widely used office suite worldwide. I guess I am just disappointed at the inferiority of Apple's software and simply cannot bear the ravings of clueless artsy users who believe they know something about computing because they are proficient Photoshop users. Phew. Sorry, venting ends here and now.
In the meantime I managed to solve the above problem myself. I hope my description is helpful to other users encountering similar issues (and Google tells me there are many).
My solution is based on the rationale that after all steps described in the initial post the problem must lie with iTunes. And it did.
Here is what I did to fix the issue on my Mac running Windows 7 on Parallels:
Uninstall iTunes and, importantly, also all other Apple software (Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support etc.) from Windows using the Control Pannel utility 'Programs and Features'. The interesting thing is that uninstalling all Apple software will not remove all directories involved in mobile sync! I conjecture this is the source of the observed sync issues.
Remove all software registry entries with Apple Inc. and Apple Computer Inc. as author
I deleted entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE.
Manually remove the directory C:\Users\__UserName__\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\SyncServices\Local
This will result in the loss of all iPhone backup information you have collected in the past. The manual removal of this directory is crucial because it does not get removed automatically in the uninstall process.
Restart Mac OS and Windows (just to be safe)
Reinstall the latest version of iTunes
Reboot your iPhone (just to be safe)
Connect the iPhone and sync it by overwriting calendar and contacts on the iPhone from the Mac (choose the appropriate sync options in iTunes)
These steps worked perfectly for me and I am now able to sync my iPhone with my calendar and contacts from Outlook 2010 again.
Do let me know if this was any help with your sync issues.

IPhone sync with outlook

Why does my iphone have double contacts after syncing with my PC? Each time I allow it to sync it will double the contacts. Help!!

I suspect you are also syncing contacts with MobileMe and have duplicated them by syncing with your PC.
To get rid of the duplicate contacts caused by syncing with both MobileMe and your computer:
1. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > MobileMe account > Contacts > "OFF"
2. You will be asked what you want to do with previously synced contacts - select "Delete from my iPhone".
3. Connect your phone to iTunes, go to device page, info tab and disable sync contacts.
4. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > MobileMe acct > Contacts > "ON"
5. You will then get message: "There are existing contacts synced with your Mac. Would you like to merge them with your MobileMe account?" Choose "Do not merge."
6. You will then be asked: "What would you like to do with the existing contacts on your iPhone?" Choose "Delete."
7. In a couple of minutes your phone will sync back your contacts from MobliMe, without the duplicate copy from your computer.
If you also have duplicate Calendar entries, do the same process with calendars - can be done at the same time.

HT4236 contacts, photos lost when new iphone syncing with Macpro

Synced my new iphone with itunes, lost all my contacts and photos, etc. iphone was restored to include all my stuff from my previous iphone, how do i fix this to get back all my new contacts and photos, etc

Ask whoever transferred them to begin with. We have no idea what kind of phone you had or where those contacts came from.
Your mistake was in trusting some dweeb at a phone shop to transfer your contacts without understanding what would happen to then if you restored, then, of course, in restoring the phone without a backup of the information that was in it.
Restoring the backup of your old iPhone from a few years ago completely overwrote the data that was in the phone.

Why won't my iphone sync with Outlook. It will not even give me the option to click on Sync Calendar

My Iphone calendar used to sync automatically with Outlook on my PC. Now, for some reason, it will not sync and when I try to click on Sync Calendar, it will not let me do it. Nothing happens. Help!

Make sure you use the same Apple ID as on the old computer and iCloud.

HT4137 iPhone synced with iTunes, but not Phone... Why?

Sync iphone 4 with outlook 2007 contacts

I used to have a checkbox to select sync with outlook, but new iTunes (v 11.0.2) now simply says my contacts are synced over the cloud. However, there are contacts in my outlook 2007 app that are not in my iphone. How can enable/select/force sync with my outlook 2007 datatbase of contacts?? "Contacts" are "on" in iPhone settings.

I would love to do this as well. All I need is my calendar appts from outlook. Right now I am using google calendar sync, but I would like to move to the cloud and away from google. I find it hard to believe there isn't an option to do this.
