Outlook 2003 notes not syncing with iphone

I cannot say for sure if this is a new problem as when I first purchased the iPhone 3GS 32GB (iOS 4) in June, running iTunes 9.2.0.61 on XP (all current updates applied), I got all notes from Outlook onto the iPhone. I updated some notes yesterday in Outlook, and noticed they weren't sync'd with the iPhone. This applies to both updated or new notes on Outlook. The same applies in reverse, in that any notes updated/created on the iPhone does not sync with Outlook.
Any sage advice on what's going on?

You are right, of course. There are so many threads on this subject, too many to count, and they go no where definitive. This is a symptom of a problem that is being experienced by iPhone users who use Windows & Outlook.
I am NOT a Windows user, and have been using various species of Linux for years, and am currently using Ubuntu on my desktop and notebook. I have been using Evolution, which is a linux version of Outlook. I now have setup a separate box to run XP and Outlook. I have tried using VMware running a virtual Windows XP on my Ubuntu box, which I have been using off and on for years with success. But, installing iTunes on the virtual Windows, and trying to sync causes the virtual Windows to hang - most unusual. Never got it figured out, hence, the Windows box.
Like I said before, iTunes is a cluge. And to it, they added the sync which ***** at best. Apple should re-think their strategy, and focused on iTunes as being a damned good multi-media application, which will sync with Mac/Windows/Linux. Then, they should have another application, something called "iSync" or "iFiles" which specializes in syncing up anything other than multi-media, such as contacts, calendars, notes/memos, tasks. This would be a nice tight piece of code, allowing to sync with Mac/Windows/Linux.
Wish I could've been more help.
PS. For whatever reason, notes are being sync'd across to the iPhone. I noticed this a "few" syncs ago. I don't know why it decided to sync notes, whereby, it didn't a week or more ago. It's at the point now, where I don't expect anything consistent when the sync happens. If it goes across, fine, if it doesn't maybe in a few days. Not the best approach if you are relying on this device for a profession/business!

  • Why is iMessage not in sync with iPhone 4?

    I was using the iMessage beta on OSX 10.7 for my iMAC (21.5-inch: 2.5GHz) with no issues and then upgraded to Mountain Lion. My iMessages on my MAC is no longer in sync with the Messages in my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1), (all messages are sent from my iPhone). Messages is always up to date on my iPhone but the only messages that show on my iMAC are the ones before the Mountain Lion upgrade. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    That is correct.
    Those iMessages sent from the Apple ID using Messages on an iOS device or a Mac should sync across all those devices.
    For instance I send a set of Pics from my Mac to my Apple ID so it goes to my iPhone will also show those Sync'ed back as "received" by the same Apple ID
    Uploaded with Skitch!
    It did seem in the Messages beta that you had to clear all existing Messages off the iOS device before it would sync to the Apple ID.
    (As if the Messages app on the iPhone and the Messages app on the Mac were "Starting" from the "same place").
    There have been suggestions that getting the iPhone to make a break with the server such as switching the iPhone Off then On again will allow it to Sync all exiting Messages when it reconnects.
    The iPhone does need to be set to the Apple ID for the iMessages it sends to sync tgo the Mac or any other iOS device.

  • Itunes not completing sync with Iphone 4! Help!!!

    Have an HP laptop running Windows 7. Using Itunes to sync Iphone 4.
    Last week I connected the Iphone 4 to computer and Itunes updated my phone to IOS 4.3.5.
    After the update to the Iphone 4, Itunes started syncing with my phone. Now, it gets to step 5 and says 'optimizing 44 of 46' then I get the message 'Itunes has stopped working'. I have uninstalled Itunes and Quicktime and am still getting the same problem.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you!

    OK, Doughboy, i didn't get much help on here, but I may have found a solution!
    IF you are having the same situation I've been having, then this should work, it did for me.
    I had my Iphone 4 updated current and Itunes was the latest version. BUT when I plugged in my Iphone to sync it with Itunes, it got all the way to step 5 of 5 and, during 'Optimizing', Itunes stopped working.
    Here's what I did: The first thing is to copy your current pictures to a new folder on your computer. If they are in Libraries>Pictures>MyPictures, create a new folder (I named it Pictures 2, so it was now located in Libraries>Pictures>Pictures 2). Then copy the pics to the new folder.
    I then plugged in Iphone 4 to my computer. Itunes starts up automatically. When my Iphone shows up on the left side of Itunes, i clicked on it and then clicked on the photos tab in the upper right area. Uncheck the 'Sync photos from' box, then check the 'Sync photos from' box again and then clicked on the drop down box to the right of 'Sync Photos from' and clicked on 'choose folder'. I then selected the new pictures folder (in my case 'pictures 2'). Then you click 'apply' in the bottom right corner, then 'sync'. It worked perfectly for me!!! Good luck!!!

  • Outlook 2007 doesn't sync with iphone 4

    I run outlook 2007 on my desktop pc and had no problem syncing with my iphone 4.  Then I reformatted the computer and now outlook will not sync.  It goes through the motions but nothing happens.  I use outlook only for the calendar.

    Hey there cabgman,
    It sounds like you are unable to sync your Outlook information to your iPhone after having reinstalled your OS. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article for Outlook syncing on Windows to help resolve the issue, named:
    Troubleshooting Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2776
    Start with these steps, and work your way down the article as needed:
    Which option are you using to store your data in Microsoft Outlook?
    By default, your Outlook data is stored in Personal Folders format (PST) unless you are using an Exchange Server to access your data. If you are using Outlook with an Exchange Server, your data may be stored in an OST file if you have Cached Exchange Mode turned on. An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch syncing via iTunes will sync with the default PST or OST file. When using an OST file, only information stored locally, or cached on your computer, will be available to sync.
    Note: You may be able to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch directly with your Exchange server. For more information on syncing directly with an Exchange server, contact your Exchange Administrator. There are resources for Exchange Administrators, including the iPhone Enterprise Deployment guide onwww.apple.com/support/iphone/enterprise.
    Back up your data
    Refer to this Microsoft article for steps to back up the data in your PST file used by Microsoft Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Outlook 2007. This Microsoft article explains where the Microsoft Outlook 2010 data files are located.
    For information about backing up the data in your OST file, contact your Exchange Administrator. Your OST file should be on the server and backed up when the server is backed up.
    Before troubleshooting, it is recommended that you make a copy of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch backup in a safe place. For more information about where to find the backup and what information it contains, refer to About backups.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Outlook 2011 for Mac Syncing with iPhone 5

    THIS IS WHAT I HAVE:
    Macbook Pro running OS X (10.8.2) - Mountain Lion
    iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.1
    Outlook for Mac 2011 (14.2.4)
    I am coming from a PC that ran the most current Outlook and iTunes.  Before I switched to my Macbook Pro I was able to input calendar items into Outlook on the PC and then plug my iPhone 5 into the PC and everything would sync accordingly.  Ever since I switched over to Mac my Outlook calendar items will not sync.
    THIS IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO:
    Sync my Outlook calendar and contacts between my iPhone 5 & my Macbook Pro. It sounds simple but after reading almost every post possible I have come to a conclusion that I might have to switch back to my PC for such a simple problem.
    Can anyone with this same problem help me with success?
    If not is there anyone that can suggest any other way that I can have everything synced up?  I have tried icloud but I don't want everything in the cloud.
    Thank you in advanced.

  • Outlook holidays no longer syncing with iPhone

  • Outlook 2007 no longer syncing with iPhone

    My Outlook 2007 calendars were syncing properly with my iPhone 4, until one day my daughter used my computer (Windows 7) to sync to her iPhone under her login.  Ever since, even though I logged back into my account, my main calendar hasn't been syncing with my iPhone, but her calendar has.
    We've tried moving the key calendar into the "in iCloud" category in Outlook, nothing.  We've tried turning Calendar Sync off then on again in the iCloud tool, nothing.  It seems like there should be an easy way to fix this, but we're running out of options.  Help!
    Thanks!

  • Will not finish syncing with IPhone

    IPhone has 4.1 and just updated to ITunes 10.0.1 yesterday. It appears to be trying to sync, but it is will not go past step 1, Backing Up. I can still move around in ITunes, but it will lock up if I try to quit or stop syncing. It has been trying to sync for about 2 hours so far.
    Needy, Ric

    Nevermind, tried a different cable and it started working. There is no visible signed of damage on the cable and very odd timing on when it failed.

  • How can I get Outlook 2013 calender to sync with iPhone 5S?

    On at new iPhone 5S there is no problem with the e-mail account, but the calendar and contacts is not corresponding. What to do?

    I too was a mobileme user and have just migrated to iCloud on mackbook pro w/OS 10.7.4. Transition caused my sent mailboxes to rearrange themselves so that I have no comprehensive 'sent' mailbox as I did previously and the view on both incoming and outgoing mailboxes keeps rearranging itself no matter how many times I set preferences. One result is that search function no longer works.  Is anyone else having problems like this?  All was fine for a week after transition but after having an evening when my password was repeatedly rejected I had to log in and out of iCloud (as directed by tech support) and w/in an hour or so the mailbox problem began.

  • Calendar Notes - Bidirectional Sync with Exchange 2003 not working

    I have Exchange 2003. Active sync works but when I change notes field in an appointment from the iPhone, it does not sync that change to Exchange server. I have an appointment on the iphone with notes, but I cannot see the notes I created from the iPhone on my Outlook connected to my Exchange server. Works fine with Exchange 2007 but not with 2003. Anyone else noticed this?

    the new iphone does not sink with outlook 2003 and my sync with mac
    is far far less than perfect (300 out of 2500 contacts sync). The iphone techs tell me this problem is universal. I sure didn't get this information when I bought the phone. The apple techs for cannot fix these problems. The software seems flawed.

  • Outlook Notes 2003 in XP not syncing with iPhone 4 - One Solution

    Hi I upgraded from Nokia to iPhone4 last Friday and spent all Saturday and Sunday morning struggling to get my important Outlook Notes to sync with the iPhone. Contacts,Calendar, E-mail Accs + Bookmarks all synced properly but not the Notes. I had used scanpst.exe to check my .pst file and removed blank Notes etc and many other things that have been mentioned on this Forum and elsewhere, but all failed. On Sunday pm I phoned Apple and a very helpful Rory spent almost 2 hours going through everything, including my uploading 3 data files, for later investigation but all failed.
    However one item of success was when I created a new User Account, and starting Outlook from scratch did manage to sync sample Notes OK. I then carried on by myself and copied my .pst file to this new user account, but again it failed.
    I then reckoned that the problem was with the .pst file and not Apple software, so I investigated the .pst file further. I, and many of the other users who have had a problem with Outlook Notes, may have been using Outlook for a long time. Myself from 1999 and I have annual archives of my .pst files for each year as I archive all the data annually, and carry on with the same .pst file.
    When I checked it's properties I found my .pst file was in 1997-2002 Format, so as Apple says they only support from XP 2003 and a new file did work I then made myself a new .pst file and copied all the data to it. Calendar was the most difficult, but that was solved by Outlook forums and the end result was that the Notes and everything else then synced properly.
    When I returned to my Office on Monday - I use Outlook 2007 there - and I repeated the procedure on my Office .pst, which is different, but I sync Notes, in 2007 I had to delete my mail profile first as my new.pst file was originally created in the 1997-2002 format, but with a new Mail profile it all worked properly.
    This solution worked for me and maybe the reason many other avid Outlook Note users may have had issues....

    Thank you.

    So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
    As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

Maybe you are looking for
