Outlook Sync Client wiping out my playlist, podcast and music

I do not want to sync Outlook with Ipod Touch and do not have any Outlook synch options checked. When I do try to synch my music and podcast via ITunes I get an error message saying "Outlooks SynchClient encountered a problem and needs to close" when I click ok, all my music, playlist and podcast are gone!
This never happen before I purchased and installed Office 2007. Can soomeone please tell me why this is happening since I don't intend to and never have synched iTunes with Outlook. Has anyone else experienced this?

large amounts of 'other' suggest a file corruption, which is as you have noted, fixed by a restore.
it's odd that this happens regularly though, it shouldn't. do you live near an apple store? is your ipod still under warranty? might be worth taking it for them to look at.

ITunes 7.4.1.2 wiped out my songs, podcasts and playlists

I've just installed the new iTunes 7.4.1.2 on my Windows Vista based machine, and to my dismay, iTunes shows that I have no songs, podcasts or playlists. I could rebuild the library, but because that would take forever (especially the playlists), I'm wondering if there's a way I can find a playlist file somewhere that iTunes might have saved. If so, how does one find it, and how does one install it? Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

So after my last response, I have now managed to get the Ring tone identifier bar showing possible ring tone songs to show up in iTunes. However, none of my 1,000 + songs have an icon to allow me to make a ring tone.
Any ideas...

Problem Syncing Outlook....says outlook sync client encountered problem

I have been syncing outlook calendar and contacts from my PC to my iPhone with no problems. I have version 1.1.2 on my iPhone and 7.5 or whatever the latest is on iTunes software. The syncs were fine until recently and now I cant sync and get an error message that says "outlook sync client encountered problem" What could possibly have happened....I read some posts that say to go back to iTunes 7.3 etc....this has to be a common problem....any suggestions.

Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

I recently had my hard drive wiped out by a virus and had to reinstall windows and itunes. When I hooked up my ipod it did not transfer my songs from my ipod to my itunes library. How do I do this?

iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchsed from the iTunes Store).
However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library. (Going forward, you should use a backup strategy, and include your iTunes data in what gets backed up. Then, you would be able to recover your complete iTunes library, including things like playlists and ratings.)

Outlook Sync Client has stopped working

Running the latest iTunes, new iPhone 4 and Outlook 2010 (incluing Outlook connector for Hotmail sync) on Win7 64 bit.
Sync to iphone process fails if attempting to sync any Outlook content. Windows reports an appcrash, with the message "Outlook Sync Client has stopped working". However, Internet Explorer favourites do Synch fine.
I have run scanpst.exe on my .pst files(as suggested elswhere) to no avail. I'm completely stumped - does anyone know how to rectify this???

Phone field issue: When I add a contact on the iPhone from Google Maps (like I find a restaurant I like), I use the Add to Contacts option. It adds it. But when I sync to MobileMe, the phone doesnt come over. I found that the iPhone by default uses a phone field called Other or Default or Main that MobileMe doesn't like.
Being that Apple makes the iPhone AND MobileMe, you would hope this would all work. To fix, I edit the contact on the iPhone and change the field name from Other to Work, and then it syncs fine.
No big deal, but a bit annoying.
No, task synchronization is strangely absent from the whole iPhone experience. (sigh).
Notes are synced with iTunes. MobileMe doesn't do Notes. It does Calendar, Contacts, eMail, and you can upload pictures/videos from your iPhone, and soon you will be able to access online storage.
You can also try Google Sync. Google syncs calendar and contacts. They too have a phone field problem. Contacts with 4 or 5 phones only have 2 or 3 come over (at least it did it for me when I tried it). The best part of Google Sync is that it is free. MobileMe costs money, but it also has a very cool Find my iPhone feature. You can go to the MobileMe website and it will locate your iPhone if you lose it, and give you the option of a remote wipe of all data. Very nice.

How to create a playlist with podcasts AND music?

I created a playlist with both podcasts and music in it. The thing is when I try to shuffle it, only music plays. When I start playing podcasts, none of my music plays. How can I make them both play at the same time and shuffle on the same playlist?

In iTunes, you created a playlist (with songs and podcasts), and then synced that playlist to the iPod? Or you manually created a playlist on the iPod, and manually added songs and podcasts to that playlist? It needs to be an actual playlist that is on the iPod, not simply songs and podcasts on the iPod.
If you have a playlist on the iPod.... In shuffle mode, only songs play. Set the iPod to play-in-order (not shuffle). Then, select the playlist on the iPod (by selecting Music -> Playlists from the Home screen). With the playlist selected, press Play/Pause. The playlist plays the song and podcasts in the order shown for that playlist in iTunes.

Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Try DFU mode if necessary to allow the restore.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I think figured out what is going on here... If you have set your Windows OS time manually, Apple iTunes will not honor the time you set in Windows XP...
In my case, I had not applied the Windows update that changes the Daylight savings rules. No big deal I thought... I can easily correct the time manually. Well... iTunes will not like it if you do that. You have to have your daylight savings rules set correctly on the PC. Microsoft has a free program called TZEdit that will let you adjust the DST boundaries.
Once I set the rules correctly and then set my time keeping back to "Automatic" it fixed it. Hope this helps...

Can i recover photo files lost when i wiped out my hard-drive and reinstalled mac os x?

Can i recover photo files lost when i wiped out my hard-drive and reinstalled mac os x? I know that when a computer is wiped cleaned that the info is still on the hard drive, how do I access it? Can I pay someone to access it? Long story short, everything was saved to my external hard drive except my photos, by mistake of course.

You have to stop using the drive immediately. Completely stop. Do not boot the computer from the drive.
File recovery software: Try using an application such as Data Rescue 3 - http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php or FileSalvage - http://subrosasoft.com, or one of the ones listed in the (old) link below. Some have free trial versions that let you see if the software will help before you decide to buy. You will also need a second hard drive equal to or larger in size than your first drive as a destination drive for recovered files.
http://data-recovery-software-review.toptenreviews.com/mac-recovery-software
It is critical that you do not use the computer or even turn it on until you have rescued your files. Files only have the directory reference to them removed when you empty the trash or otherwise delete them from a computer (unless you use secure erase, in which case they are gone forever or can only be potentially be recovered by very expensive means) and are still present on the computer. However, their space is marked as available to any other file creation done on the computer (even done by you booting the computer) and there is risk that your files will be overwritten by the computer.
Even if the above works, do not expect the results to be pretty or even 100% successful. Files will often lose their names and you will have to re-name them one by one.

ITunes very slow downloads of apps, podcasts, and music with library stored on a Windows Home Server (WHS)

First, some history. I setup a Windows Home Server (WHS) to store all my media. I had configured itunes to store its library at \\server\music (this would be whatever shared folder you choose to store your music on for your WHS (and possibly NAS box)) and itunes was managing my library. Once everything was imported into the server, I found I was getting horrible speeds for downloading apps, podcasts, and music. We are talking 10 minutes to download a 14Mb file on a Fibre connection where I consistently get 25 to 30Mb / second performance. Syncing my iPad / iPhones was a nightmare due to the time needed to be invested in it.
The server, the PC, the router and corresponding switches were all gigabit and yet I was getting dial-up speeds. Transfering files between systems was well within spec, but itunes was running as if it were using smoke signals. I spent some time searching various user groups and support sites to no avail.
To correct this, I only had to log onto the WHS (or NAS) and disable the iTunes Server.
Reboot of the server, reboot your iTunes PC, and you are good to go. My podcasts went from a 20 minute download time for an average episode of T.W.I.T. to about 7 to 10 seconds.

UPDATE
Please disregard the above. While the above did improve performance for a short time, the problem returned. I spent the next week running a full Spinrite on all 4 1TB HDDs that were in the NAS. All drives were fine. I then did some research on the individual drives, and it turns out that 3 of them were 7200RPM Hitachi's and the latest drive added was a 1TB Western Digital GREEN drive (WD10EADS). This was the source of the issue.
Additional information available at http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=32179
I replaced the WD10EADS with another 7200RPM drive (seagate this time) and the NAS has been working flawlessly again (again, disregard the above post)

How can I mix (and shuffle) both podcasts and music?

The former version of Itunes and the ipod update that went along with it, allowed my ipod to helpfully shuffle both podcasts, and songs, randomly.
While driving, I could play a podcast, and then a song would come up, and then maybe another song, or a podcast, without having to look down and select a particular podcast to play next.
With this new version, I have to play each podcast individually, which is a pain in the neck. If I select shuffle songs, and start with a podcast, it will play the podcast, and then never return to another podcast.
I've tried making a playlist with both music and podcasts on it, but that doesn't work either.
Is there a way to shuffle, or randomly play, both podcasts and music? I thought this would be a simple setting matter, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

Aha - I did it. Switch off Voice-over, then add a sorted playlist. Fingers crossed...
