Outlook sync problems with iTunes 7.6

After I upgraded to iTunes 7.6 and iPhone 1.1.3, I couldn't sync Outlook (2007)contacts or cals with my iPhone. I reset, uninstalled iTunes/reinstalled, etc, but nothing worked. Then I uninstalled iTunes 7.6 and reinstalled iTunes 7.5.02 (a copy that I found on the web) and everything works well now.
It looks like 7.6 has problems with Outlook syncing. Do not upgrade if this is important to you.

To download iTunes 7.5, go to:
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/11/07/direct-download-itunes-75-to-activate-i phone-anywhere-internationally/
You first need to uninstall 7.6 as well as the Apple Mobile Device support program. Then empty your trash and reboot. Install 7.5. When you try to start 7.5 the first time, it will give you an error related to the library file. Search for that file and trash it (I didn't empty the trash at that point to be safe). Try to start 7.5 at that point and it should work fine. It did for me.

  • Outlook syncing problem with new iTunes update

    I'm concerned about syncing my iTouch again, as I have major problems from the last time:
    Last week, I updated and synced my iTouch (4th gen) and the synch acted different.  I was faced with "conflicts in Outlook" to review.  I was doing this on the fly, and didn't really think anything of it, even though I hadn't ever been asked this before, so I went ahead without thinking.  Before this, in order for my Contacts folders to not all sync together, I had to make a Contacts folder I named "iTouch Contacts."  When I finished the sync, I noticed that in Outlook, my main Contacts folder now only had about 400 contacts in it (should have about 3000), and my iTouch Contacts folder had over 3000.  Obviously, my iTouch had done something weird and synced differently.  I knew I had some kind of duplicating mess to deal with, but just ended up moving all of the iTouch contacts to the main Contacts folder to deal with it later.  In the next couple of days, I synced it again, and (again) the same "conflicts" and that began to worry me.  When it was all said and done, for some reason, I saw that the iTouch Contacts folder in Outlook had 3000 again.  Without thinking, I was just disgusted and deleted all those contacts.  I later realized that I had deleted the majority of my contacts and that my main Outlook Contacts folder was again down to only 400.  Since most of my contacts are no longer in Outlook, I can't email people from a new email, but must use a previous email and reply to them.  Also, when I look at the contacts on my actual iTouch device, ALL my Outlook Contacts folders are there, even ones I have never had checked to sync with the device.
    My question:  How do I dare sync again...without knowing first how to get all my Contacts transferred from my iTouch to Outlook?  And then how do I figure out how to sync the right folders?  The recent update must have had some changes that just took over without asking me!  I had even unchecked the boxes under the Info tab in iTunes on my device, so as to NOT sync contacts, but it just went ahead and did it anyway.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hi lastskier
    Have you browsed through the forums at all? Its worth spending a little while doing so because most problems have been experienced by others and resolved.
    My recommended method for installing iTunes upgrades is:
    1. Back up your iTunes library, and by this I mean locate the iTunes folder (usually in My music) and copy all of it and its contents preferably to a removeable hard drive (they are really cheap now). This is your insurance and if all else fails you have not lost your music files.
    2. Download the iTunes programme from the apple website to your pc - DO NOT install online.
    3. Temporarily disable any antivirus/antispy software programmes (locate the icon in the lower right hand side of your desktop and right click - you should get options to disable)
    4. Run the install and reboot.
    With any luck you will be up and running and the new iTunes will have found your old library and imported it. You will still have a safe copy on your removeable drive.
    Conflicts with AV/antispy programmes are the most common problem with iTunes installs.
    If it doesn't work and you are happy you have a back up of your music, you could try uninstalling all iTunes, iPod and QT s/w using "add/remove programs" and then running thru the steps again. However, this time you may have to get your new iTunes to find your music files on your removeable drive by plugging it in to your pc and getting iTunes to search for it.
    You will have lost any library settings e.g. playlist info play count etc by going this route, but there are fancier ways of dealing with that. You can open up "my Music" folder and reimport your entire back up copy of the iTunes folder and this will preserve your old settings.
    Let me know how you get on.

  • IPhone 4 version 5.0 has sync problems with iTunes 10.5 on Mac OsX 10.6.8

    Hi there,
    I have Mac OsX 10.6.8, iTunes 10.5 and iPhone 4 version 5.0; all up to date.
    When I try to sync my phone with iTunes, the sync goes well until the apps start to sync .... then iTunes closes and I get varying error reports.
    I have tried updating everything (Mac, iTunes, iPhone) to no avail.
    I tried restoring the iPhone, that didn't help whatsoever.
    Does anyone have a solution? I am now tempted to downgrade to an earlier version of iTunes (ie: 10.4.3) as some people suggest in different posts.
    Thank you for your time in replying!
    Marmotte

    There is definitely a problem with iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5.0 syncing correctly.  I've seen lots of workarounds on the forums here.  Just search for it and see if you can come up with something that works.

  • Iphone 3g sync problems with itunes 9.2 after updating on another computer

    Hello
    I have an old mac which will not allow me to update itunes to 10.x. So I have been updating my iphone via another computer (which apple support to itunes 10.x) and my old mac has been able to see it still and therefore I have been able to backup/update it.
    However after updating to ios 4.2, my old mac has not been able to sync to it and itunes tell me that I have to update to itunes 10.1 (which I cannot).
    Last time I updated, I had to restore my iphone due to various problems (mainly to do with itunes 9.2 allowing me to download the unsupported ios 4.1). I didn't have to restore this time and this maybe what has caused me the problems. Does anyone know whether I can solve my problem of syncing to itunes 9.2 by restoring my iphone and reinstalling ios4.2? Or is ios 4.2 not supported by itunes 9.2 at all and now I need a new computer?
    Sorry, I originally posted this in the wrong section.
    Cheers for the help

    Yes, I had the same problem this time and had email communication with Apple about it when ios 4.1 came out. Apple have made it so 10.4.11 is not supported by itunes 10.1, and so stuck with itunes 9.2.1.
    When I had this problem, I decided to update on another computer (as I did this last time). But I didn't have the same problems as before (requiring a restore of my iphone) which I suspect solved the problem I have now.
    However, if the restore doesn't solve this, then I have an iphone without any music on it! Or any of the apps as well.

  • Sync problem with itunes 64 bit

    Hi, it's impossible to sync an iPhone 4 with iTunes 10.4 64 bit (sync in one step and in only few seconds but actually it do nothing) and cannot install iTunes 32 bit on windows 7 64 bit. Never had that problem on 32 bit.
    What can I do?

    I worked though this issue today on my PC and I have it working.
    The piece that worked for me was that you have to uninstall apple components in a specific order. I also rebooted my pc after the uninstalls were complete. I found this on the apple support site (see below).
    Uninstall in the following order:
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour 
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    I then reinstalled 64bit Itunes by saving the package, right clicking and run as administrator.
    This reinstalled itunes then I recieved another error, iphone could not be synced 13019. I researched this and I found out that the itunes library could not find one or more of my music files in the library these are denoted by an exclamation mark. I either had to delete the files or double click on the files and click locate and then point them to the location of the missing files. After I had found all of the files it was able to sucessfully sync and all is good.
    I hope this helps...

  • Syncing problems with Itunes and Ipod Help?

    Okay..I don't even know what's been happening with the newest Ios 5 update for apple products, but since the update, my ipod hasn't been able to synch with Itunes.
    For example, I manually organize all my music and when I edit the album artist or the album artwork etc, it would show up in Itunes perfectly, but on the Itouch, nothing has been changed. This means that not only does it now show the album artwork that I set up in Itunes, but also all the artists as well. I've seen many people so far having this problem, but through all the solutions people have said, none have worked for me. Another problem is that it also mix and matches all the songs I have downloaded as well. Only the songs I purchase seem to be alright.
    I have tried many things from restoring my Itouch and re-downloading music, manually re-synching my Itouch to see if the artists will show up, but to no avail, it hasn't worked.
    Please help me. It's getting quite frustrating that nothing is synching since the newest ios 5.1.1 update. Thank you

    The ipod touch will only sync to one computer at a time. If you sync to another it will indeed erase the content from the ipod first, then replace with content from the new computer.
    Sign into your account on the computer, make sure it is authorized, then connect the ipod:

  • New computer, syncing problems with itunes

    Hi there.
    It's not really a new computer I just couldn't put the whole problem up in the header and it might as well be as I've had to erase the hard drive, reinstall leopard and start all over again. obviously my phone thinks that of course it is synced with another itunes library (which doesn't exist). (I'm hesitant o sync it with the computer in anyway as it may erase all of the applications that I have acquired and bought in recent months. Is there anything I can do about this?
    Thanks

    The iTunes store still sees this as the same computer with the same MAC address, unless you changed your Ethernet card or other hardware. I guess you didn't backup your iTunes library...
    1. Reauthourize your computer in iTunes.
    2. Disable automatic syncing on connection of your phone.
    3. Connect your phone to iTunes
    4. Right-click your device, and select "Transfer Purchases" - this will transfer all iTunes purchased media and apps from your phone to iTunes.

  • IPod Shuffle 2nd generation syncing problem with iTunes 7.3

    When I updated my iTunes to iTunes 7.3, I had problem syncing my songs with my iPod shuffle 2nd generation. The error read something like "Ipod shuffle attempt to copy to disk "iPod's name" failed. An error occurred (-54)". I reverted back to iTunes 7.2 and the problem does not seem to arise anymore.

    Well seems to me the only way to solve my problem was
    to revert back to iTunes 7.2. I tried iPod reset
    utility. restoring to default, resetting, everything
    I could think of when I used iTunes 7.3 but none of
    them succeeded. When I reverted to iTunes 7.2, it
    worked like a charm again. Of course we would all
    like the latest version of iTunes on our computers
    but this problem has made me stay with iTunes 7.2 for
    the moment. And does anyone feel that iTunes 7.3 is
    so laggy?
    Regardless of earlier comments on 7.2 vs 7.3, I think you've got something else going on with your system, iTunes 7.3 isn't laggy on my meager 2001 Dual-USB iBook G3 500MHz with 640MB running 10.3.9.

  • Syncing problem with itunes after restoring to a new PC from iPod

    My old PC crashed and I copied my iTunes libray to a new PC from my iPod. The libray includes several songs taken from CD's I purchased plus several songs that I had purchased from iTunes. I also "authorized" the new PC. However, when I sync now none of the purchased songs from my new iTunes file will copy back to the iPod. It will only sync the songs from my personal CD collection. I get a message that the iPod is not authorized for these songs. Any suggestions for a fix?

    Try deauthorising your PC and authorise it over again, this can sometimes clear a "not authorised" problem: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • Sync Problems with iTunes

    My iphone doesnt complete its sync with iTunes. It just syncs and syncs. Could anyone help?

    If one of your music files or photos is damaged, iTunes will display that error message when trying to transfer that file to your iPhone. If you can identify a file/or files that is causing the error, try deleting that file and syncing again.

  • Sync problems with itunes and latest IPod nano

    Hello,
    I have the latest IPod touch and later purchase the latest IPod Nano for GF. My problem is I can't sync itunes with Nano, my current itunes library is sync with my IPod touch.
    How can we manage a reciprocity where itunes enables accessibility for Nano to sync with my itunes library has it does recognize my IPod Touch.
    Hope you understand my problem, looking for your kind assistance.
    Thank you,
    Frank   

    There should be no problems connecting and syncing two different iPods with one iTunes library.  In fact there is NO limit to the number of iPads, iPhones, and iPods you can sync to one computer/iTunes library.
    There are several ways to manage multiple devices with one library.  All of them are described in more detail in this Apple support document.
