Outlook Sync Error Code 0x80040fb3

I suddenly am having trouble syncing my contacts on my Storm.  Calendar syncs fine, but I get that error message for my contacts.  I've looked through the Knowledge Base and thus looked at the pttrace log, but I can't tell what contact is causing the issue.  HELP!  How do I determine by reading this log (or something different) which contact(s) is the issue?

Thank you for your response. I figured it had something like that but have been unable to identify the contact and have given up. Since the BB is corporate issue I wiped it clean once again and now synch it with GroupWise and have purchased an iPhone for personal use to synch with my Outlook contacts. Not as efficient some would say but a lot less hassles and the iPhone works so much easier and so far has been hassle free. We'll see if it continues to be. Again, thank you!

  • Calender sync: error code 0x80040fb3

  • DM 6-y address Book Sync leads to error code 0x80040fb3

    DM 6-y address Book Sync leads to error code 0x80040fb3.  I have done the following:
    rebooted 6000+ tijmes (or mabe a bit less than that)
    performed a security wipe on my device
    reinstalled DM 6 software several times
    Had "I-Yogi" technicians try to fix
    Used "cellrepair service"
    Bottom line--I'm not a computer guy.  I just want my BB9550 Storm to be able to sync with outlook.  Calendar, Memo and Tasks sync with no problem.  Address books always stops after 121 records are synced and then I get the error code.
    Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results.  I'm now insane and don't know what to do.

    That is certainly one option.
    If you want to continue, here is a KB for activating advanced logging to see if that provides you with anything useful:
    KB01451How to turn on advanced synchronization logging if a wired synchronization fails
    I've also heard on these forums that if you export your contact list from Outlook (to CSV, ASCII or something else), the order they come out in is the same order that the synchronization works in...which might better help you identify the offending record (which you could then delete and re-create).
    Good luck!

  • Popular Error Code 0x80040fb3

    Greetings Folks!
    This is my first post.
    I have been reading the web and many, many, many, (read: ad nauseum) the various solutions to addressing this error message.
    Each time I try and sync my address book, I get "Error encountered. Error code - 0x80040fb3. Check documentation."
    I have tried pretty much everything I could find out there including wiping my device clean of every last morsol of infomation. 
    I have tried a hard reset;
    Filling in First, Last, & Company name on EVERY contact in Outlook;
    I have cleared the device memory of both the address book and the calendar; and
    I searched and followed info on enabling advanced sync to figure out which contact was giving me the probblem.
    Of course the latter was too convuluted with info for me to understand.
    I am using the 8830 and have nebver had a problem with this since very recently. Sometimes when I try a sync, the record sync will stop at the same place and others it will go further into the number of records before telling me to beat it with the error code.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    thbanks much in advance.

  • Error code 0x80040fb3

    I have a BB 8310, installed the latest updated Desktop manager and keep getting error code 0x80040fb3 when the sync is updating the CALENDAR from Outlook 2007.  My address contacts update fine.  It always shows the error code on record no. 74 out of 280.   I looked on the log and deleted the first fail update repeatedly, but it still errors out on record 74.  This is very frustrating - Does anyone else have this problem when updating the calendar for Outlook 2007?

    Hi and welcome to the forums,
    This is the resolution from a user with your error code.
    "Finnally figured it out, I had a few contacts with pictures associated with them, when I removed the pictures from Outlook all went well..."

  • Error Code 0x80040fb3 - FIX (8520)

    It got ERROR CODE 0x80040fb3 after I updated my desktop software to version 6. I tried to sync with Outlook (2007) and before it completed I got this error message. 
    I uninstalled and went back to previous version. That didn't work. 
    I reinstalled everything and by this time the desktop software (new version) would not even connect to my BB (Curve 8520). Thought I was toast and was getting ready to go back to my old Palm Pilot system.
    Then someone suggested REMOVING MY BATTERY then try again.  Believe it or not, that fixed it.
    I did, however, make sure that my first sync with Outlook was a ONE WAY sync that over-wrote the data (in the desktop software setup). After I had it sync successfully I put it back to TWO WAY sync. 
    Very happy to have this working again - hope this helps others having the same problem! 

    I have the same problem with BB 8900 Curve.
    Just today I installed the new BB Desktop SW 6.0
    I did more or less all I red on blogs. But doesn't work.
    Thanks for help.

  • Blackberry Error Code 0x80040fb3

    I have been successfully periodically syncing my Blackberry Storm to my Desktop Manager for months. Today I repeatedly received an error mid-way through the sync: 
    Blackberry Error Code 0x80040fb3.  I have re-booted both the computer and device with no success.
    The Storm is a model 9530 and the Desktop Manager is v4.7.
    Would appreciate learning whether other's have had this problem and how to fix it. Thanks. -SL

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    There are 3 public KBs that reference that error code. I suggest you go here:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/searchEntry.do
    and search on the code, then inspect the results for anything useful.
    Further, DTM 4.7 has been updated...the current version is 5.0.1.28 and is fully compatible with all the same PIMs as 4.7. You might consider updating. You can DL versions here:
    https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
    I do suggest taking, with your current version, a full backup before changing anything so that you can be sure you have a source file to recover from...one never can be too careful.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Sync error code (-54)

    I get the following error code when attempting to sync my 5s on my HP computer running Win 8:
    -The iPhone 5s cannot be synced.  An unknown error occurred (-54).
    I purchased AppleCare when I bought this phone and after multiple phone calls with AppleCare the last contact I had, I was told "We will review the diagnostic files you uploaded, and I will call you back."  That was three weeks ago, and after sending two follow up emails, now the supervisor at AppleCare has not and does not call back to resolve. (I think AppleCare is no longer the value it once was).
    Has anyone else had the sync error code (-54)?
    How did you resolve it?

    On the Windows version of iTunes, error -54 means a general IO error occurred that can be caused by many different things: a file is corrupt, a file is locked, or an .m4a file could not be converted to a lower bit rate.

  • Problem Syncing Outlook Calendar: Error code - 0x80043ac9

    Hi,
    When I try to sync my Outlook 2003 calendar entries with my Curve, I get the following error:
    "Error encountered. Error code - 0x80043ac9. Check documentation."
    It seems to be stuck in the "Processing Device Calendar" screen, with "Record 20 of 80 Records", when the above error popped up. See screenshot below.
    I have NO PROBLEM syncing Outlook Contacts or Memos. I ONLY have problem when syncing Outlook Calendar.
    I've read other posts out there where there was a similar problem when syncing Contacts, and the solution is to remove Birthday contact entries:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Curve-BlackBerry-8900/error-code-0x80043ac9/m-p/56...
    But I don't have any Birthday in my contacts, and my problem is with Calendar, not Contacts.
    Does anyone have any idea how to solve this, or encountered similar problems? It's probably a "bad" calendar entries in there somewhere, but I'm not sure which.
    Thanks!

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    I suggest the following:
    Back up the calendar database on the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Clear the calendar database on the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Note: For instructions on how to clear an individual database on the BlackBerry smartphone, see KB10167.
    Thanks,

  • I am getting sync problems with Exchange Server and local outlook. Error code is 18439. Does anybody have an idea what the problem might be?

    I am using Outlook on my Imac, which is linked to the Windows Exchange Server. All off a sudden I keep receiving messages saying that the message Re: xxxx cannot be synchronized with the exchange server. When I delete the message from my local mail box, all is fine, but after a while another one pops up. The error code is 18493. Does anyone have an idea what could be going wrong???
    Thanks for your help already now!

    Hello Wolfgang,
    I get the same error, but I cannot figure it out too. I hope you or I get some responses back! I do not know why there isnt an edit feature in outlook to acknowledge the individual alarm so it does not alarm again!

  • Microsoft Outlook sync error message

    Here's the error code: 08004fd28. The sync is set to only sync the calendars. Blackberry Desktop Manager queries inconsistencies between the calendars, then shows the error message just noted. Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    What Desktop Manager are you using? You can try to uninstall and reinstall DTM. Make sure to install the latest Device software as well. You can download these through the BlackBerry website.
    So it also gives out this error during the calendar sync? It is possible that there is a corrupt calendar entry on Outlook. What you can do is to do an advance logging. The process is a bit complicated cause you need to edit some intellisync settings to extract the log files. By extracting the log files you will be able to pinpoint the corrupt calendar entry data.
    For this it's best for you to contact you carrier and ask for support.
    Thanks.
