Pc sync doesn`t find outlook.pst (Nokia 6280)

My phone doesn't ever get any contacts data from outlook anymore, ever since I have deleted outlook express from my computer. This is where it took information from, though I had chosen Outlook and not outlook express.
what can I do?

I am posting this trick for my E50 - since this post came close to my message from PC Suite.
Anyway deleting PC Suite settings on the Symbian phone (which I thought was meant) don't work: you cannot delete the settings on the phone since they are read only. Creating a new profile wont help either. Renaming the MAPI.dll doesnt work. Then recreating the profile in the PC Suite on the PC: that probably worked, except not on the Settinsgs tab, but in the Synchronize program:
Open PC Suite - double click on the Synchronize icon- Synchronize window opens - click on the Wrench symbol (Why dont Nokia just have a normal - settings tab??) - click on the WRENCH WITH THE GREEN STAR (Why not simply new profile) and then Yes on the ARE YOUR SURE..etc
After this -believe it or not- came the push of Nokia update 7.1.26.0 and since I have been reinstalling all day I thought - why not. Download - install - reboot (3d time today). Phone is found but it wont respond during synchronize. Hurray. Wonderful. Now use the phone, go into the menu-connectivity-synchronize-pc Suite- now press Options - Synchronize. It finds my desktop computer - yep select that one - and Wow! syncing starts!
After this first succesful sync also the syncing from the PC Suite works.
That was another half business day spent on necessary fixing problems generated by useless improvements of whatsoever (be it from Msoft or Nokia).
So I dont exactly know what fixed the problem, but I presume recreating the profile using the PC Suite software on the PC+resyncing from the phone was the solution.

Sync Manager Not Finding Outlook d

I have a 6GB Zen and Outlook 2003. When I access the Sync Manager and it goes through the part where it is searching for music, pictures, videos, contacts and calendar info, the sync manager does not find my Outlook data to sync with. I'm not sure where to look for help. I've searched online, but all I found was documentation on how to sync, not troubleshooting and their screen prints did not look like my sync manager.
I just bought 2 weeks ago, so maybe their online information is out of date.
I also have to export my data from my work pc and import it in my home pc since I cannot install the Creative software due to security set up, so maybe that is part of the issue. Anyone who has successfully sync'd, I would appreciate the help.

Just wanted to give an update. After a completely unsuccessful attempt with Creative's customer service telephone help, I decided to completely uninstall the software and reinstall it. I carefully double checked the options when reinstalling and noticed mine defaulted to Outlook Express, which I have on my machine but don't use. I changed the default to Outlook and made sure all the proper boxes were marked and it does work now. That would be my recommendation to the others for whom it is not working. Beyond that, you could have other issues.

BT Cloud quarantined my Outlook.pst backup file!

Hi, Just uploaded my important laptop files to BT Cloud. It's very important to me to have a backup of my Outlook.pst data file with all emails, calendar details and contacts. BT Cloud informs me it has a virus (it doesn't), has been moved to quaratine and I should run a vuirus checker (I did. It's not infected) and it should be deleted from my computer (absolutely not).
Is there anyway I can:
(a): get BT Cloud to tel me how it think's my pst file is infected (i.e. which email subject/date)
(b): enable BT Cloud to remove it from my quarantined files and put it back into my online backup?
Any other tips?
Andy

Just to keep this one alive. I have the same problem with outlook.pst being renamed and replaced by BT Cloud, claiming that the file is contaminated, even though BT Netprotect never found it.
As far as I can see, BT Cloud offers the user no control over this aspect. If BT Cloud has detected something, it might at least advise the user what it has found and some clue as to how to remove the offending email(s).
No one has mentiioned a work-around. This is how I reclaimed my .pst file:
Search your main drive for '.pst' - you should find outlook.pst of zero bytes and your original file, renamed as outlook.conflict1.pst (or something very similar), in my case, file size was 860mb.
Delete outlook.pst and rename outlook.conflict1.pst to outlook.pst and restart outlook.
This still leaves the problem of another quarantine action by BT Cloud at the next sync.
How about an official response to this issue - in my case, it looks like I'll have to stop using BT Cloud

Syncing iphone with windows 7 contacts - error message outlook.pst not foun

I have set set up ITunes to sync my Iphone GS with Windows Contacts. When I sync I get an error message :
The file c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\Outlook.pst could not be found
Sometimes the error message comes up 2 or 3 times.
Secondly, my Iphone is syncing with something because an old version of my windows address book is now on my iphone. Of course if I add a new contact to Windows Contacts, it does not appear on my iphone.
I dont have Outlook installed on my PC. It was removed, but I guess I do have an old outlook.pst file from my old times with Windows XP.
So how does Itunes manage the sync and how can I stop it syncing with my old address book and use Windows Contacts? I have tried resetting my sync history but it did not work.
I am running Windows7 (upgrade from Vista).

I am also having issues with syncing my Iphone 3GS with the latest version on Itunes. I have for a long while now been doing just great. My contacts, phone numbers, emails have all synced very nicely, no problems. As soon as I downloaded the new Itunes 9.1 I can no longer sync contacts, and calendars, as usual.
I tried several things that were suggested to me in the troubleshooting but nothing has helped. It usually tells me that my computer is not set up for syncing, and after arranging that it still doesn't work. As well, it says it cannot find the requested services.
Please help.
I am running windows 7, and have been for a while, it's not windows 7, it's the new Itunes upgrade.

BB Link not finding Outlook data for Sync

On my old computer the Contacts/Calendar sync between Outlook and the BB Q5 worked very well via BB Link.
On the new computer when I try to configure the Contacts/Calendar in BB Link the only account offerred is "Windows Contacts". There is no reference to Outlook, even though it is installed and working.
I have tried deleting and reinstalling BB Link on the new computer, and rebooting. I have clicked "Remove Device" on BB Link on the old computer.
The Outlook *.pst file is located in the same directory on the new computer as it is on the old computer.
How can I get BB Link on the new computer to find Outlook so I can configure it?

I have a problem with syncing my calander with outlook 2007 for iPhone 5s, ipad 1st and 3rd generation. Contacts work find, and new and changed enteries in outlook all go to the devices. Device Cal changes do not appear in Outlook

Over the past year or so, I have been unable to fully sync my iPads with outlook 2007 calander. Now I have an iPhone 5s, and really need the calander fixed. Contacts seem to sync in both directions, and any new or changed cal enteries in outlook appear on the device. The problem is that any new or changed calander enteries do not make ip back to outlook 2007, so there is only one-way syncing (down to the device) but no return, for calander entries.
I am now using the latest itunes, which I followed the recommendation delete all apple stuff, and then reinstall, I have used scanpst, built new PSts, etc, am I am stuck.
Not using icloud either.
Not using wi-fi, purely USB cabale sync
Running on Windows XP, SP3
Now IOS 7.0.2 on iPhone and 1 iPad (3rd gen)

Kept searching, found this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23321067#23321067
Bottom line: if you follow the recommendation to delte all itunes software and re-install, it don't work (at least for me and many others).
However, purge the data (certain data) and the data syncs.
I think the folder is Apple Computer\Preferences and it needs to be purged.
To be sure, maybe someone can rename the folder on their system, then run itunes and see if it syncs ok.
The idea is to figure out the least minimum stuff that needs to be touched in order to get a working solution than having to purge all Apple software and then rebuild it all over again.
I had purged other files out of inpatience, but did not want to purge entire folders because I had Safari, and Quicktime software, and did not want to wipe that out, Plus there were software downloads and device backups in some of those folders. But I really believe it is the preferences folder, and I would like someone with the same problem to try it and verify it.
Once the preferences folder is removed/renamed (taken out of the picture) pluggin in the device and go to the INFO (I think that is the iTunes tab) page where you select calanders, contacts, email accounts, etc. They will all be unchecked (because you wiped out the preferences) and you need to reselect them. Then run your sync.
What I had done in testing was create something on the device, and modify something else on the device looking to see what got up to Outlook. I got the good news that something good was happening when I got the conflict message from iTunes, and it showed both Outlook and iPhone, showing the calander entry I changed on the iPhone. Never got that before. After the sync, everything looked good the few test entries were uploaded to outlook.
Now, My Cal is 10L+ enteries, and I am doing 100% sync (I don't select the option to ignore enteries over x days). I also have 1400+ contacts. Before this change, the sync of contacts & calanders took a couple of hours (and only operated ONE-WAY, now the syn is taking less than 5 minutes for this one step.
I am a Windows XP Professional user, x32 bit system, using Outlook 2007, iTunes 11.1.1.11, I am standalone (no exchange server) and have about 10 email accounts (mainly POP) defined. I am using only one calander in outlook, but I have Outlook and 2 gmail calanders in the iPhone.
I am running iPhone 5s and iPad 3rd Gen both with IOS 7.0.2 and a 1st generation iPad with the latest version of IOS 5.x.
If anyone else has success, I'd like to hear, along with your experience.

N82: Nokia Software Update doesn't find the phone

Hello, I am trying to update the firmware of my Nokia N82, but I get an error message from Nokia Software Updater saying that it doesn't find the phone. I find that strange as Nokia PC Suite indeed finds the phone. The icon on the taskbar says that "AndersMobil is connected".
I've noticed that if I let Nokia PC Suite run at the same time as Nokia Software Updater, this icon shows that the phone is being connected and disconnected several times while Nokia Software Updater tries to find the phone, something that might indicate that the two programs cannot be run at the same time? I tried to run Nokia Software Update alone, but still the program doesn't find the phone.
In Windows Hardware Manager (or Units manager, not sure of the english translation) of Windows XP, "Nokia GSM Phone USB Modem" gives the following error message: "The unit is not working as it should as Windows cannot load the necessary drivers for this unit (Code 31)." Under "Portable Devices" in Hardware Manager/(or Units manager?) the error message "This unit cannot start. (Code 10)" appears for the unit "AndersMobil".
I followed the guidelines on the internet reinstalling Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater, removing and reinstalling the drivers, but Nokia Software Update still doesn't find the phone, and the same error messages appears in Hardware/Units manager every time.
What do I do?
Regards,
Anders
By the way, I sent an e-mail to Nokia support about this but they still haven't answered although it's been a long time since.

I could not find outlook selection in iTunes to sync with my iPhone4.

Hi, I have reinstalled the latest iTunes into my Win7 notebook and updated my iphone4 firmware to iSO 5. However, I could find any option for outlook to sync with. My options are only Google, Window and Yahoo contacts. All my mobile contacts are in my Outlook contacts list. I chose Window contact, but I don't know where my mobile contacts are downloaded to. Anyone could advise me on this?

- Connect your device to your computer / iTunes
- Choose your iPhone on the left side (menue) after it is successfully connected
- in center are, your device is now displayed
- Above this area, there are some tabs, on is called "info". There you'll find the sync options for contacts / outlook ...

Bluetooth active but PC Suite doesn't find NOKIA 6...

I have installed bluetooth on my PC. This PC finds my NOKIA 6230 telephone. When performing a click with the right button of my mouse on the PCs bluetooth icon, it finds the telephone. Also with the right button on the bluetooth icon I can download pictures that I have taken with my phone. So, obviously, I have successfully created a communication between PC and phone. However, the connection is always interrupted after 1 minute or so. Also, although my PC finds my phone, when I try the same with Nokia Suite Connector, this programme doesn't find my phone at all.
What can I do to get Nokia Suite Connector find my phone via bluetooth? What can I do to establish a bluetooth connection that is not interrupted after 1 minute?
Just to confirm: Both my PC and the phone have once required a bluetooth code. I have selected "visible for all" on my phone.
Thank you for your help. By the way: I have a BELKIN Bluetooth adapter. It uses COM4 (if this is important)...
Thanks for your help, violincase

After you uninstall the bluetooth drivers that came with the belkin, yhou kust boot pc and reconnect the usb bluetooth stick (I assume that is the thing you have) and let windows auomatically recognise the hardware and then you can see if windows bluetooth software is compatible the the usb stick, it will install the window bluetooth drivers. If the windows own bluetooth driver is not compatible, windows will ask for the cd

Syncing with Outlook 2002 - Nokia 6233 outlook.ost

Phone is Nokia 6233 syncing with Outlook 2002 on XP and using Exchange Server 2003. I have set the Nokia software to sync every 15 minutes. All users with laptops get a message on screen just before sync saying "Your offline folder file could not be configured .... outlook.ost." You can click through this and it will sync with the PC but I don;t want all my mobile users to have to do this every 15 minutes.
It seems to me that it is trying to sync with the offline folder which is the part that allows mobile users to access Outlook when they are away from the office with up to date as at last time connected to Exchange Server but that is about as far as I have got. Presumably, it is to do with the Send and Receive settings in Outlook as there does not appear to be a solution using Nokia software. Any help if anyone has resolved this would be much appreciated..

I am having similar issues with PC Suite, in particular the PC Sync feature. I am running PC Suite Rev 6.22.82.0 and Outlook 2002 SP3. PC Suite allows me to sync successfully only once after bootup whether in the online of off-line Outlook operating mode. Then if I attempt to sync again I get the error message [Your offline file folder could not be configured....]. When I close down PC Sync, keeping Outlook and the rest of PC Suite running, and then restart PC Sync, I can successfully sync again but only one time. I can sync my Palm with Outlook without similar issues. This tells me that there is a bug in the PC Suite software and not Outlook.

After Install of Office Pro 2013 Plus from downloaded iso file Outlook can't find any outlook.pst

Have just installed - apparently error-free - Office 2013Pro Plus. Can't open Outlook because it's missing the dataset C:\users\xyz...\documents\outlook-data\OUTLOOK.PST.
There is NO outlook.pst on the entire computer, in other words it seems that the install didn't create any.
An attempted "repair" in System control worked fine, but didn't handle the outlook.pst issue.
Any idea what to do? Many thanks and kind regards
Happy 2014!

Was this a fresh installation or a re-install / recovery, as on a fresh install there wouldn't already be a .pst configured until you'd done the initial account setup process and configured a mailbox. If it's a fresh install are you sure it's a legitimate
installation?
When you first start Outlook you should be presented with the account setup wizard, which then configures your first account and creates any required data files for your mailbox.
If that's already been done but isn't working, the simplest thing to try initially is to remove the configured profile(s) from Outlook and then start from fresh. Run "Mail (32-bit)" and on the window that appears click Show Profiles. Remove any and all profiles
listed on that screen, and then click OK. Now open Outlook again and since there's no profiles configured you should be taken to the initial setup wizard where you can configure the mailbox and the relevant files will be created.

ITunes Calendar data doesn't match Outlook's. How can I fix?

I have a new iPhone and just recently discovered that the Calendar is not updating,
probably since the first time I synced. And even then it was using old calendar data which
doesn't currently show up in Outlook. (Contacts sync perfectly.) Applecare took me
through their 1st and 2nd-level support troubleshooting and said they couldn't do anything more.
They suggested possible corruption of outlook.pst.
One glaring example: I used to have 3 calendars in Outlook: "Bridge", "Calendar" and
"Others". I recently deleted all but the one called Calendar, but all 3 still show up in
iTunes, even though I've uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes twice. Only "Calendar" shows up on
the iPhone, but it has old data. I think the data it's displaying has not been refreshed
since 9/23/11, when I moved the outlook.pst file to a location in My Documents for easier
backup, but that doesn't really make sense since the Contacts update just fine. (I've had
an iPad for about a year, and it's behaving the same as the iPhone now; the Calendar used
to update properly.) Another possible clue: the iPhone shows two instances of one
particular recurring appointment. I don't recall ever having two instances of it in
Outlook and wonder if that could be the problem. I removed it altogether from Outlook and
that didn't help.
I've done extensive testing with a new Windows user account and Outlook, and the calendar
syncing seems to work fine. I've Googled "iPhone calendar won't update" and similar and
haven't found anything that works for my situation.
I'm running Office 2003 on Windows XP. I do NOT use Outlook for mail.

I was having the same problems after downloading 10.4.1 IStore would only download half way then nothing attempted reinstall no goood checked the Diagnostics with IPad connected, indicated no errors. more than a few hours browsing possible solutions. Found one stating 'Remove all Itunes connected software, i.e. Bonjour, ITunes, Safari etc from PC via the Uninstall Safely Feature and ReInstall. Hey Presto it worked now no issues.
Good Luck. I am using Windows 7.
That's my problem exactly, but I can't find the: ''Uninstall Safely Feature and ReInstall''. Where is that??
Thank You

Sync problem with OVI / Outlook of the notes with ...

Hello,
I'm desperate and close to open the gaz :-). I used to sync my Outlook notes with all my former phones with PC-suite. Since I have a new N8, I'm forced to use OVI instead of PC-Suite as it doesn' support this model phone. Everything seems to be possible in the set up but the sync doesn't work and always return an error code : 83860026. It even ask to reinstall Outlook which took sometime but never changed anything. As it might be due to other unknown variables, I tried the same Outlook database with other PC with XP or W7, office 2003, 2007 and even 2010 and the sync always fail with the same miserable error code. I'm fairly suprised to see this problem still there since I gave up, years ago, to use OVI because of this. My N97 and 6303 do the same. Can someone bring some good help to resolve this annoying trouble please?
Thanks in advance, Fabrice

Dear Satari,
thanks a lot for the advice but in the meantime I found another post stating that version 7.1.40.6 PC-Suite works great with the N8. I kept it in my archives and I can state that it WORKED GREAT in less than 5mn!
So far your suggestions might resolve the OVI sync problem but I have no more courage to follow it. I was yet using the latest version of OVI and W7 and Office2010.
However, if it would work, I would recommand the OVI software team to find out why one of their software work very fine while the other seem to cause trouble to the entire world. I could not find a single complain about PC-Suite while the support discussion ifs full of OVI reported troubles for the last 2,5 years. What a shame!
Furthermore, it is unacceptable that NOKIA force their client to use OVI with any phone while they know this software is so unstable. I would add that the "gift" is even worst when it comes to the most expensive product of the range. As the general manager of a software company, I have learnt that it is never good to insist with a product when the development team is unable to cope with bugs and troubles. Whatever the cause could be, it is better to restart from scratch and get rid of EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY involved in the mess! Please Mr Nokia new president, act positively and do your homeworks in the interest of your clients and sharholders. Additionnally, if I had not spoken English I would still be on the road side! Thanks in advance to care of us MORE.
