Outlook 2002 and iTunes

Dear Apple,
Would you please turn back on the unofficial support you were giving for Outlook 2002? Please?
As noted in another thread, prior to iTunes 7.4, it worked, even though it wasn't supposed to. In fact, it worked very well, at least on my machine.
But 7.4 cuts off all support for Outlook 2002. I now have no way to synchronize my iPhone, which is a big problem. There are many good reasons not to want to upgrade to the latest Microsoft Office (the radically different user interface comes to mind). And as others have noted, there is no way to go back to a prior version of iTunes without losing one's music library. This is not a pleasant situation to be in.
I understand if you don't want to support it officially. But you had it working with Outlook 2002 before. The unofficial support wasn't causing any harm. Please bring it back!
Thanks,
Brian

That's very encouraging. I can tell you that they definitely switched to a single Outlook plug-in sometime in 7.3 or maybe even earlier, called iTunesOutlookAddIn.dll, which is in c:\Program Files\iTunes\. If I right-click on it and choose properties, then click on the "Version" tab, mine shows 7.4.1.2. Your procedure suggests that the 7.4.1.x series is still fully capable of talking to Outlook 2002, but that it refuses to do so depending on the contents of a text file in that .app directory. Very strange.
Interestingly, the OutlookSyncClient.exe in the Mobile Device Support directory shows version 7.3.20.0, while the OutlookSyncClientHelper.dll shows 7.4.51.1. Maybe OutlookSyncClient.exe is the program that does the actual talking, and since they didn't replace it with a new version, the Outlook 2002 interface code is still there? But the new OutlookSyncClientHelper.dll shuts it off, unless those .app text files have a different version number? The only thing in the .app directory that seems like it would be relevant is version.plist, which in my case shows BuildVersion of 37 and SourceVersion of 190000. I'd love to hear an Apple engineer explain all this.
Anyway, thanks a bunch for taking a look at this! I tell you what, though, it all suggests that this is at best a very temporary fix. I bet any upgrade that replaces OutlookSyncClient.exe will cut off support for good. One will either have to stick to 7.4.2 forever, or upgrade Office, or keep begging Apple to add official Outlook 2002 support.

Outlook 2002 and iTunes 10

I’m using Outlook 2002 SP3 with Windows 7 and iTunes 10.1.1.4 with an iPhone 4 running IOS 4.2.1
I have been successfully synching my iPhones with iTunes and Outlook 2002 for years but since installing the most recent version of iTunes I am unable to synch my iPhone with Outlook 2002 and also unable to synch my IE8 bookmarks (or any other browser) with my iPhone 4.
I am able to select all the synch options in the information screen in iTunes but when I press sync the boxes become “unchecked” and no synchronisation takes place. However my music and other content syncs successfully.
I get the error message “iTunes could not synch to iPhone 4 because a session could not be started”
I’d be grateful for any help
Thanks

I have the same configuration. When starting synchronisation it keeps synching but no progress occurs. I have to cancel the synchronisation. Like the parent post synching before upgrade to the latest itunes version worked well. I'm only synching the calendar and only for the last 30 days.

Synchronisation between Microsoft Outlook 2007 and iTunes 9.1 doesn't work

Hi everybody,
Since I've upgraded iTunes from 9.0 to 9.1, the synchronisation between my iPhone 3GS 3.1.3 and Microsoft Outlook 2007 (running on Windows 7) doesn't work anymore for Contacts, Calendars and Notes.
I've tried several procedures (uninstall completely iTunes and Outlook, an iPhone restore, ...) but without success.
I've noticed in my Windows Event Viewer this message :
Faulting application name: com.apple.Outlook.client.exe, version: 16.59.1.6, time stamp: 0x4b8fba22
Faulting module name: NABPR32.DLL, version: 7.0.20.6269, time stamp: 0x4994a1cc

Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\DominoForOutlook\NABPR32.DLL
Report Id: 140312d7-4932-11df-9fe3-001a6b315fa8
Please note that I'm using DAMO (Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook) which allows me to use Microsoft Outlook instead of IBM Lotus Notes. This configuration worked very well before upgrading in iTunes 9.1.
Someone can help me?
Thank you for your answers.
Best regards,
Damien

HotSync to Outlook 2002 and Palm Desktop

I use a TX with Windows XP and the Palm Desktop. I need to do a one-time HotSync to Outlook, but can't figure out how to change the conduit to do that. How can that be done? I do not want to permanently migrate to Outlook.
Post relates to: Palm TX

I was able to do the one-time HotSync to Outlook, but now I can't get it to sync to the PDS again. I've selected that in the conduit selection but it still syncs to Outlook. I know I had gotten a different selection box where my choices were to sync with the PDS or to sync with both PDS and Outlook, but I can't seem to get back to that place. Can you direct me?

Itunes 7 and outlook 2002

I upgraded to itunes 7 and now it says i need outlook 2003 inorder to synch my contacts. does anyone know if there is a fix, I don't want to purchase outlook 2003 and reverting back to older version of itunes seems like the only answer i can find. thank you in advance for any help.

Having grown tired of waiting for Apple to respond, I've discovered a 3-party software called iPodSync (www.ipod-sync.com) which will do the trick nicely plus a lot more. I'm trying the trial version and it works a charm with Outlook 2002 and the most recent firmware on my 5th gen video iPod. Too bad Apple couldn't have sorted this out.

IPhone and Outlook 2002 - updated info needed

I need to synchronize a new iPhone with Outlook 2002 - contacts specifically. There was a thread (now archived) about 1-1/2 years ago that describe a way of doing this with iTunes 7.5 and iPhone 1.1.1. However, iTunes is now on version 8.x and the iPhone is on version 3(?). So I raise the question again. Is it possible to synchronize a new iPhone with the "old" Outlook 2002 (aka Outlook XP) using iTunes 8? If not, will it work with iTunes 7.5? If so, does someone know an archive site where I can download 7.5 (for Windows)?
Thanks in advance.

Outlook 2002 has never been supported.
Outlook 2003 or 2007 is supported.
Since you have a PC running XP, sync contact info with the address book used by Outlook Express - Windows Contacts, which is also supported.
Export the contacts from Outlook 2002 and use Windows Contacts to import the export from Outlook. Certainly Microsoft should include an easy and compatible way to do this since both are MS products.

Iphone software update deleted my playlists on the phone and itunes

When i installed the latest update to the iphone 3gs all of my playlists were wiped out. is there way to recover them? when i synched my phone with itunes it deleted the playlists there as well. i do have an ipod with the playlists still in tact.

I had a very similar issue. Bought the 3G and tried to sync it with my Outlook (2002) and it deleted about 3 dozen calendar events. It seemed to be specifically recurring events, and I think they all had reminders. Not sure though - recreated them all, so let's see what happens.

Sync issue with Outlook: Notes and Contacts ok - Calendar stopped syncing

Greetings,
Syncing (via USB cable) between my iPhone 3GS (3.1.2) and Outlook 2003 SP3 (Cal, Contacts, and Notes) has never been an issue until my recent upgrade to iTunes 9.0.2.25. Since then, I noticed that my Calendar was no longer syncing either way. When I hit "Sync", iTunes would indicate that it's going through the motion of syncing calendar but no synchronization of the items take place. Contacts and Notes continue to sync fine. One off behavior is that when I connect my iPhone via USB, I get a pop-up window with "Apple iPhone" header
indicating "Camera connected" with option to pick an app (ie. MS Word) to lauch for this action. Never seen this pop-up. I just cancel out of it.
Few things I did to try to fix the issue, in vain:
1. iTunes->Info->Advanced: forced a "Replace information on this iPhone" - no changes to my calendar
2. iTunes->Edits->Preference->Devices->Reset Sync History - all calendar entries on iPhone are gone
3. "Repair/Reinstall" iTunes by running the install executable
I stopped by the Genius Bar for an appointment related to my battery issue and asked the fellow about my sync issue. He wasn't "aware" of the issue.
Anyone has a suggestion for me to try? Thanks!!!

I tried now several things to resync my data cause it realy s*cks without. I tried to install itunes 9.0.2.25, 9.0.1 and 9.0.0 but nothing helped so far. I also tried to set Outlook 2003 as standard program for mailing (one forum wrote that helps, too) and I tried to find out if something blocks the communication betwen Outlook 2003 and itunes. But nothing could help so far, still no sync.
I find it interesting that when I connect my iphone to my PC an then switch in itunes to the device and the "info" pane where I can setup all my sync data with PIM programs that Outlook still remains there as default synced application. But the subfolder in contacts also the mail accounts that should be synced cannot be seen. The option to force itunes to overwrite the calendar, contacts, notes and mailaccount data on the iphone no matter what can be selected. But when i do the synchronisation all of these options are unmarked again.
Atm I'm thinking of tracing the problem down with Filemon.

Outlook 2002 Calendar and iTunes 7 are not compatible

Has anyone found a solution to the Outlook calendar problem? When I upgraded to iTunes 7 there was no notice about incompatibility problems with Outlook 2002. Is there anyone from Apple working on this? How do we get some support? I cannot find a way to communicate with them.

Your post is a little confusing. This is the "Installing & Upgrading iTunes for Windows" forum but your post says you have a Mac. To determine which version of OS X you have, go to the Apple menu in the far right of the Menu bar and select "About This Mac". What version of OS X does it tell you you have?
Second, if you truly do have an iPod Classic, which is the latest generation, it didn't come with a CD and it requires iTunes 7.6 or later.
See this link for identifying which iPod you actually have:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688
Once you've figured out which iPod and which system software you have, you may want to consider posting in a more appropriate forum as you are likely to get more and better answers that way.
You can find older versions of iTunes here:

Best of luck.

I have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC. For several years, I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months

I have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC. For several years,
I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months ago I decided to use Mobile Me. However, there were problems with duplication of calendars and then “rogue events” – which could not be deleted – even if deleted on Outlook and on the iPhone (or both at the same time) – they would just reappear after the next synchronisation. All other synchronisation areas (eg Contacts, Notes etc) work fine.
I have looked for help through the Apple Support Community and tried many things. I have repaired my Outlook. I have repaired my .pst file in Windows. I have re-installed the latest version of iTunes on my PC. I have re-installed the firmware on my iPhone. I have tried many permutations on my iPhone. I have closed down all Mobile Me functions on the iPhone. I have spent upwards of 24 hours trying to solve this problem.
What am I left with? Outlook works seamlessly on my PC. My iPhone calendar now has no events from my calendar, but does not synchronise through iTunes. Nor does it send events initiated on the iPhone to the Outlook. I am at the point of abandoning iPhones and iPads altogether. I need to have a properly synchronising calendar on my phone. Do you have any suggestions?

In the control panel goto the "Lenovo - Power Manager" and click the battery tab, there is a maintenance button in there that will let you change the charging profile for your battery. (from memory, so exact wording may be off)
The lower the numbers you use there, the longer the battery *should* last. These batteries degrade faster at higher charge levels, however storing them at too low of levels is also not good for them... I've read that 40% is optimal, but just not realistic if you use your computer.

Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates - MSVCR80

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?

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

HT1296 When synching Outlook Contacts and calendars with iTunes for Windows, I do not get the option to "Synch Contacts with". It says, and cannot be changed, that it is synching with iCloud. How do I get iTunes to give me an option other than iCloud?

Using iTunes for Windows to synch my Outlook Contacts and Calendars into my iPhone 5, with the iPhone Device designated and in the Info tab, I do not have the option to "Synch Contacts with", but have an unchangeable message that it is synching with iCloud. How do I create that option to synch with Outlook?

Sync issues between iPhone 5 and Outlook 2013 through iTunes

For at least 6 months I have been using a W8 laptop with Outlook 2013, and I've flawlessly been able to sync my iPhone 5 through a tethered connection to iTunes. Two weeks ago, I lost the ability to update my Outlook calendar to the iPhone as new
calendar entries were not making it through the iTunes sync process for some reason. Contacts, notes, and bookmarks still sync perfectly, but calendar entries have stopped updating. I've recently installed regular updates to the iPhone IOS, iTunes,
Windows, and Office so something in the mix has caused my calendar sync to cease. I have reverted my iPhone back to default settings and re-installed my user information, I've run scanpst on my Outlook file, and nothing has worked so I am searching
for answers.

Does the calendar entries show correct through Web-based Access?
Which type of email account you are using?
Per your post, you are using iTunes to sync your message/Calendar/Contact betweem Windows and iPhone 5.
Is there a way to access your mailbox directly rather than connect Outlook to sync via iPhone?
Feel free to post back. Thanks.
