PC Sync to N95 with Outlook very slow

Hey There
I'm using the latest PC Sync on Windows XP Pro to sync with my N95 with the company Exchange/Outlook 2007.
It seems as though PC Sync is synching the whole calendar and contacts every time (2000+ items). We're talking so long that, if I'm working over a VPN from home, the phone times out after 15-20 minutes. The whole process is taking some 30 mins to complete this way!
Things are faster when docked at work or off-line, but waiting even 5 minutes with a few calendar changes in a day is crazy.
Any ideas what to do? Surely it doesn't need to re-read Exchange every time?
Thanks

Unfortunately there is a need to re-read calendar data from Exchange every time due to the fact that it is the only way to find out if something is deleted from the calendar.
But I think you can make the process faster if your Outlook settings are such that you use the cached exchange mode so you have full items locally in our Outlook always. Then you are not so dependant on the connection speed.
At least this is my experience or then my connection speed off work is fast enough and since I have autosync over bluetooth everytime I connect phone to pc, the sync is so seemless that I hardly ever even think of it, I am just synced.

  • 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.

    I think (and I'll double check) only the BBLink events will sync on a wired USB sync. I'm fairly certain of that.
    You'll need to use your calendar syncing via an EAS email account (outlook.com, for instance, is free) to sync wirelessly. It works great. I use it and was a former tied to the USB sync guy as well... and I thought I was gonna die a painful death without it. I found more freedom this way.
    This explains the process. But I don't think you'll get BBM Groups to sync.

  • After I sync my IPhone with Outlook, some contacts only appear on the IPhone and NOT in Outlook

    I have been syncing my phone with Outlook for some time successfully but just noticed that there are now contacts on my Iphone which don't appear in my Outlook contacts. I also noticed that those that appear in both places have "linked cards" on their contact information on my Iphone while the ones that don't appear in Outlook are missing this "linked card" designation. I just signed up for ICloud so don't know if that has anything to do with it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

  • How do I sync iphone 4 with outlook 2013 ?

    How do I sync iphone 4s with outlook 2013?

    Synchronization of calendars between Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and your Apple iPhone or iPod touch requires Apple iTunes. You can configure which items are synchronized during a one-time set up process. Good luck with your Mac!
    After the initial setup, each time that you connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer, the changes made on your computer or device are synchronized.
    Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer using the cable provided with your device or by placing the iPhone or iPod touch in the Apple Universal Dock.
    iTunes opens automatically when connected to your computer.
    In iTunes, in the source list, under Devices, click the entry for your iPhone or iPod touch.
    Click the Info tab.
    Under Calendars, click Sync calendars from, and then click Outlook.
    Do one of the following:
    To synchronize all calendars, click All calendars.
    To limit the calendars that are synchronized, click Selected calendars, and then click the calendars you want to synchronize.
    NOTE   To select multiple calendars, press CTRL as you click each calendar name.
    Click Apply.

  • Can you Sync iPhone 5 with Outlook 2013

    Can you sync iPhone 5 with Outlook 2013? Everything mail, contacts and calender.

    Hey Mark
    I'm Michael and I work for connex.io.
    We were also constantly having problems with our address books, so we decided to build our own solution. connex.io is a service that syncs two-ways between all of your devices and services. It also de-duplicates, cleans completes and automatically updates your address books on all of those devices. So whenever you make a change on any of them, it automatically gets changed everywhere. So you only have to connect your address books once, and you will have your contacts always with you. No need to connect your device to your computer or sync manually.

  • Why I get double phone numbers and addresses but not notes within a contact when I sync iphone 4S with Outlook 2007?

    I get double phone numbers, double addresses, but not double notes, when I sync iPhne 4S with Outlook 2007. How can I prevent it from happening?

    Yes, I removed iCloud add-on from Outlook; and uninstalled iCloud.  I then re-installed, and sync would not work (no tab for sync in Outlook either). There was no improvement.
    However, since reading your post, I have just tried signing out of icloud control panel and signing in again....and now all si working as it should.  Weird!!
    Thanks for your assistance.

    I have loaded my Firefox bookmarks into Internet Explorer Favorited. I also uninstalled Safari.

    Would you please be so kind to fill me in on how to "That syncing is done via iTunes. Connect the device to iTunes, select it, then go to the Summary page and select to sync bookmarks."?
    I am not sure what you mean by "Summary Page"

  • HT1296 Syncing my iPhone with Outlook in iTunes only transfers the information from Outlook to my iPhone

    Syncing my iPhone with Outlook, in iTunes, only transfers the information from Outlook to my iPhone, not vise versa.  How can I configure it to transfer data from my iPhone to Outlook as well?

    I had a backup from outlook that I restored to outlook and then used Itunes to sync the Iphone
    I had to turn off the ICloud sync
    The only problem now is that it does not sync my calendar or contacts unless i plug the phone into my compluter and tell Itunes to sync them

    how do i sync my iphone with outlook for mac 2011 calendar?

    Here are some instructions from Microsoft:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2452489
    Alternatively, depending on where the data in Outlook is coming from, you could set up your phone to sync to the same account that Outlook is syncing with.  For example, my Outlook 2011 and my iPhone both sync to my work Exchange account, so I have that same calendar in both places.

    All of a sudden, I can't sync my IPhone with Outlook. The calendar on the phone is now blank.

    Similar problem.
    No problem with the imac G5 but tower Power PC allows only the initial sync (ie after erasing all contacts and events in my phone and reseting device in bluetooth syst pref and in isync).
    For the following syncings I always get the same message.
    [K800i] Connection to the phone failed.
    Please make sure that your phone is turned on. If this error occurs again, please restart your phone.
    Restarting my phone does not help.
    Anyone an idea?
