Outlook 2003 not synching calendar

Everytime I try to synch my calendar I get the following message:-
OutlookSyncClient has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I have read the other posts, and I've re-installed iTunes, and checked that the iTunes Outlook Addin is checked, but to no avail.
I tried reverting back to iTunes 7.5 but that didn't work either, so I went back to the latest release.
I've also tried resetting the sync history, which also hasn't worked?
Does anyone think Apple will fix this anytime soon? I use the iPhone as a PIM, and right now its useless in that regard. I'm synchronizing only my calendar (work PC - Microsoft exchange). Everything else is synch'd using my mac at home.
Seemed to work fine before the recent 7.6.1 upgrade.

Ok. I eventually worked out how this exchange server thing works, but it's still not fixed my issues.
I understand now, that an OST file exists on my local machine, and that periodically gets synchronized with the exchange server.
I have run the SCANOST tool on my machine, and let it do everything, not just my calendar.
So I should now have a functional local OST file. I have no PST files. i.e. I don't have any local archives etc. and iTunes only has "Sync Calendars with : Outlook", there are no multiple calendars to chose from... so its All Calendars only.
So I try to synchronize my iPhone, and it still crashes with the "OutlookSyncClient has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
I really am stumped now. I can't see how I can get this to work. One might say... I have a syncing feeling. (except its not syncing...)
Come on Apple... This used to work.

Ipod touch does not synch calendar or notes with my Windows Vista PC

Ipod touch does not synch calendar or notes with my Windows Vista PC. I have calendar and notes entries in my Outlook calendar, but they do not synch with my Ipod touch. They used to work fine, but stopped around 2 weeks ago. I connect my ipod to i tunes, but the "info" area of itunes is not allowing me to tick the boxes to synch calendar, outlook, or notes.

Hello Welcome To Apple Discussions
plug in your ipod and select the info tab and look for calender sync (something similar to that) and click the program your using for your calender.
try that
Thank You

ITunes could not synch calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected

Started getting an error message during iPhone synch about two weeks ago: "iTunes could not synch calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected"
- Am synching to my Outlook calendar on a system running Windows 7
- Everything else (contacts, podcasts, audiobooks, etc.) synchs just fine
- Tried totally resetting the iPhone and restoring the firmware
- Tried deleting the backups, preferences and resetting synch history
- Tried forcing a rewrite/replacement of the calendar database using iTunes
Nothing sems to work...still get the same message about not synching the calendar due to the iPhone disconnecting, but of course, it really hasn't disconnected since I can get it to immediately synch anything else.
Any ideas out there? Thanks...

Thanks midwestcraft. I had this problem and your answer solved it for me.
Thought this further info may be of use to some who wants more historic dates in their calendar.
I had "do not sync events older than" unchecked and the input field set to "0". When I changed it to 180, it worked perfectly. I've found that I can increase this number to "545" - anything higher causes the error. This seems to coincide with some strange multiple-entry events in my calendar.
Don't know if this will be a clue for somebody to fix the issue.

How can I sync outlook 2003 contacts and calendars to icloud?

I know there is a tool for Outlook 2007 and later, but are there any solutions planned for Outlook 2003??
I am not on an Exchange server.

You are not alone - it took me two weeks to work out why I could no longer sync my ihpone to my PC and realised it was because Outlook 2003 is not supported. Outlook 2010 will cost me c£100 - I've already spend a fortune on my iphone and new ipad - why on earth do I have to buy a piece of software I do not need in order to be able to sync my calendar wirelessly? It is incredibly annoying. I have tried to sync Outlook 2003 with Google Calendar first - but it just hangs.
You do need new software, yours won't work, a fact that was available to you when you chose iCloud.

Some contacts in my iPod are not showing up in Outlook 2003 after synching

iPod Touch w/ iOS 5. PC with Outlook 2003. After syncing, some of the contacts in the iPod don't show up in Outlook. Any clues? I feel pretty sure I have a setting wrong, but I can't find it!

It will import all of your exchange contacts. If any are already in iCloud they would be duplicated and you would have to go to icloud.com and manually delete them. If you still want to import them, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contests to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to backup the remaining contacts from your exchange account as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing (othewise you will see duplicates of all of them).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import your exchange contacts back to your phone, and to iCloud.
At this point all of your contacts should be in iCloud, and you will be syncing them with iCloud rather than your exchange account. As mentioned, you can go to icloud.com and delete any duplicates if some of your exchange contacts were already in iCloud.

Windows 7 -64 bit syncing with Outlook 2003 not working

Hello all,
I have a Dell Vostro 1720 (64-bit) with MS-Office 2003 (32-bit), in German language.
My Iphone 3GS (Dutch language) won't sync any contacts or appointments with Outlook 2003. There is no error message, Itunes seems to think everything is OK. Resetting the sync history in Itunes has no effect. Telling Itunes to replace all contacts and calendars has no effect either. I have disabled third-party Outlook COM add-ins (there was a Norton antispam entry there).
Strangely, the syncing of Outlook notes DOES work. As does the syncing of Internet Explorer bookmarks. I am at a loss.
Can anyone PLEASE point me to some help?
Arthur (the desperate)

In the Windows event log, I see the following error:

I Phone & outlook 2003 not syncing

When attemping to sync my Outlook 2003 calendar& contacts I am getting an error message that says " cannot connect because iphone has disconnected" I went in and unchecked addin that was not apple and I did a re sync history. Help!

Apple support had me sync my contacts from my phone to windows address book, that worked correctly. then they had me disable all third party add ons (there weren't any). they had me create another user on my computer to make sure i dodn't have any settings that would prevent the sync from working. i did that and the sam thing happened, nothing. they had me uninstall all programs associated with itunes and reinstall quicktime with itunes. that's where they let me go, they said that would resolve the problem, it didn't. So now i'm stuck.

Outlook Email not synching with handheld

I just set up my new BB handheld and even set up hotmai on outlook on my PC at home, so I could synch contacts, calendar and emails more diligently than an internet web browser based email... but my emails are not synching!! arrgggh its painful to keep cleaning out inbox 2 times and also have FB messages going to my hotmail bec FB on my handheld is not showing me new messages.. pls help!!!

Hello,
If you configured your BB to receive email OTA, then there is no direct relationship between your BB and your Outlook client for email. Rather, each will reconcile independently against the email server according to whatever capabilities they have to do so. The BB reconciliation capabilities will be governed by this KB. Outlook reconciliation capabilities will be governed by Outlook.
For your FB issue, check inside of the FB options and make sure that you have checked the box that connects it to your BB Messages app.
Good luck and let us know!

Sync iPhone 3Gs with Outlook 2003 Notes doesn't work?

Up till March 2010, Syncing Notes form Outlook 2003 worked but now it doesn't. If I create a Note on the iPhone, it doesn't show up in Outlook after a Sync. If I update a Note on iPhone or Outlook 2003, the update doesn't appear on the other device. I have tried checking the box to replace Notes on the iPhone from this computer with the next Sync, but it nevr replacing the Notes on iPhone from Outlook 2003.
I need help with this please.

Talk to your IT department. It sounds like either you have the wrong server information (i.e. you have the server name/address that is valid internally, but not a publicly accessibly name/address) OR they do not have the proper ports open on the firewall for active sync to work when you are off the network.
I'm assuming you're using a company WiFi network while in the office. If you temporarily turn off WiFi in the office, so the phone reverts to 3G, you should be able to replicate the problem for them.

Calendar+iCloud to Outlook 2007 - not supported calendar message . ics

Consider this
Two new macs
1. MacA set up with iCLoud to sync Calendars
2. MacB set up not to use iCloud
Test on MacA (my Wifes) used for her work, across iPhone, iMac, MBP
Send invite from Calendar on the Mac to my work address [email protected] and reciever on Outlook 2007 from MacA
gets Name has invited you to <Event Namre> but the attached .ics enty
has name "not supported calendar message.ics"
The attached body coantains a web page screen shot to interact with icloud
In additaion the reply address is [email protected] and an unintelligble email address
This mac has iCloud as the account in Calendar
Test on MacB used for fun - not connected to any work
Send invite from Calendar onthe Mac to my work address [email protected] from MacB
gets Event invitation <Event Name> and the attached .ics enty
works as expected. Accept the invite and it gets put in your Outlook calendar as you would expert
Right reply address, right behavior on reply.
Ths imac has calander accounts to use gmail.
I kind of get why. But is there anyway solve the issue with with MacA.
My wife's invites for her work will not behave correctly to whoever her clients are.
But I want iCloud to sync Calendars - and send invites properly not add all the iCloud functionality over the top

Yes it is elsewhere, however I have a Vista 32-bit that doesn't work and a Windows/7 64bit that doesn't work. I think it's just generally "bad code" and OBVIOUSLY the person that was supposed to test it didn't. I can't uninstall on my Vista machine because it will break all my Contacts and Calendar sharing too. Therefore, for now, I guess I will just have to give up on sharing pictures until they get it fixed.
Which, BTW, has been an AWFULLY LONG TIME already. I installed v2 over a week ago and Apple hasn't even acknowledged anywhere I've seen that they have an issue.
'Bout time to start sending emails to the press: Maybe they can goad Apple into doing something.
There are several articles expounding about how great it is: I will be replying to all I can find that it DOES NOT WORK AND APPLE DOES NOT CARE. They sold several million new phones, all made in China, and now they are fat, dumb and happy.

LifeDrive revived - Outlook 2003 not working and needs periodic battery re-insertion

My Palm LifeDrive has been revived with all of its attendant data. I had a prior problem with a dead battery, and ordered one on-line. I received a cheap Oriental no-name battery (with screwdriver), and replaced the dead Sony battery that was in there. After charging, it seems to work.
I now have a couple of problems that are minor in comparison. First, when the display times out and the unit turns itself off, I have to reboot it to switch it back on. The slider switch on top doesn't work in that case. If I switch it off myself, it turns back on easily and does not require a reboot.
The other thing is a good news/bad news problem. The good news is that the ACCESS Palm desktop works if I log in into Windows 7 as a normal (non-Admin) user for the first time ever. Also, for the first time, the Bluetooth Sync feature works without error for the first time as a non-Admin user. Logging into W7 is also flawless, with no error dialogs popping up from the HotSync drivers as they are loading. Bad news is that I can't see any information at all under Outlook 2003 for the first time. Is this necessarily an either/or proposition? I want to merge Project 2003 with the Outlook scheduler, but now I will have two separate schedules on separate software. Why can't I see my schedules and contacts under Outlook? Any ideas?
[later added 4/29/2012] There is another problem now. The LifeDrive has switched itself off unaccountably so that neither the ON switch nor soft/hard resetting will turn it back on. Only another disassembly/reassembly of the LifeDrive (battery removal and re-insertion) would revivie it again. Any ideas as to what might be wrong or how to troubleshoot it?

It seems that deploying a PRF file is best based on the research as well as some of the links which Amy shared. Users are using Outlook 2010 using the /importprf switch however with outlook 2010 the " Encrypt data between Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft
Exchange" is enabled by default this causes some of the users to be continuously prompted for authentication, I was able to manually fix the issue by disabling "Encrypt data between Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Exchange"
Sorry cannot post images or link yet as my account is not verified...
We can't do this manually but want to modify the PRF file to disable this. So far the only documentation referring to this is for Outlook 2003 to
enable this, it was disabled by default with this version of outlook.
It is found at
support.microsoft.com/kb/2006508
Add "http://" to the link
From this document I now know the setting is labelled - RPCEncryptData
Which needs to be changed under the
[ServiceEGS]
and
[Exchange Global Section]
But I have no clue what values will disable it, anyone knows what values will disable it ? help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

All email in outlook 2003 not showing on Blackberry

Sorry, I searched and nothing is resolving the issue.
Cruve 8320
BB OS 5.0.0.900
BES 4.1.7.20
Outlook 2003
The unit froze and the user removed the battery and now nothing from before 9am Oct 27 will show in his BB inbox. there are a couple hundred messages that he wants back there.
Here is what I have tried
Installed a media card and moved the pictures and videos off to free up space
Reconcile now
Checked that the option for removing message was set to never
Resend service book
Delete the Desktop (CMIME) and resend service book
Create a subfolder and move the message into it then reconcile now. (folder showed but not the messages)
Mark the messages as unread and reconcile now
Backed up the unit and did a security wipe with a fresh activation
Deleted the user from the BES, did a security wipe with a fresh activation
I am now setting him up on a Bold 9800 fresh to see if that will bring the information back.
Using the Blackberry desktop software I can not find a place to manually move emails on to the balckberry. Is this gone now?
Any tips or thought on how to resolve this?
Thanks
Chris

Setting him up on the new device had the same result. I then wiped his device again, deleted him as a BES user and set him up from scratch. All with the same result.
Has anyone seen this before?

Cannot select Outlook 2003 to sync calendar, tasks etc. ver 6.0

I have desktop software 6.0 install on a Windows 7 64 bit laptop. I installed ver 6.0 desktop manager, connected my Curve 8530, it recognized it and synced my media.
I have office 2003 and outlook installed, and it is running fine.
When I try to select organizer data to syncronize, and configure settings, I select calendar, proceed through the wizard selecting outlook, but when I finish the checkmark next to calendar disappears. Everytime I try to set the checkmark it takes me through the wizard and again removes the checkmark when done.
If I select yahoo, the wizard runs, and the checkmark stays.
Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Hello,
I would recommend giving this a try, BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.0 displays calendar as not installed within Organizer.
