Please Help... Sync BB8900 with Outlook 2007 and Vista.

I have trawled the web looking for an answer to this question and can't find any answers, please can somebody help me !!!
I have owned my 8900 Curve for about 2 months and love it, I used to sync it with my old computer running Windows XP and Outlook 2007 and had no problems.Unfortunately that computer died and I have upgraded to a new PC unning Windows Vista, my problem is this... When I try to set up the sync options for my calendar,contacts etc I don't get the option to sync it with Outlook, I only get the option to sync it with
1... ASC II Importer/exporter
2...Yahoo.
I rely heavily on my BB being up to date and without this function may as well go back to my old PDA.
I have tried re-installing Desktop Manager a few times and even downloading older versions of it to see if this fixes my problem, all to no avail.
Please,Please can somebody help.
Thank You In Advance.

Hi,
By the "media control" I take it your were referring to the Vizkids Post, suggesting the mediad manager not be installed?
I didn't say that, I agree with it, but I didn't say it.

A friendly tip as this is your first thread, The User who suggested that has 4 more posts than you. He is new to the forum as well.
What worked for his problem, might not work for yours, in this case it wouldn't have affected it at all. When you get stuck or need some
research go to the upper left hand corner where the grey search box is. Type on keyword for your problem, I would put vista outlook 2007
desktop, to start. You will see the history of the problems reading those subjects. You will see green resolution marked on most
Follow those resolved threads and see how it relates to yours, and how it was resolved in the past. Be sure to write your search results in you thread other users can then see what you've tried and found and help you quicker
As you get more experience you will get good use from the Support and Services grey tab at the top of the page.
That's where the link I posted came from. Please take my comments the way they were intended, as helpful advice, OK?
I need some specifics on your Vista OS 32 or 64 bit?What version of desktop manage have you tried, removed reinstalled etc.?
Okay flesh things out a little, you installed desktop manager with full access rights as an administer on Vista,correct?
The installation was error free?
You setup the your email and when you went to configure the synchronization options, you had what options, I know
you didn't have Outlook.
What steps did you try to resolve the problem?
Did you change any settings in Outlook, review the desktop setup in the manual?
How far did you get on article I left you regarding MS Outlook tips?
Ok let me know the detail for those questions,thanks,
Regarding the clean procedure post, The first part of the procedure states:
"To install BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Windows® based computer that
had a previous version of BlackBerry Desktop Software installed,
complete the five tasks outlined below. These tasks should also be
completed if the BlackBerry Desktop Software installation or
uninstallation procedures did not complete successfully."
Going on, it explains and shows how to make sure all the registry entries, program files and remnants , along with file traces
were made In Vista and are completely removed. A lot of desktop manager issues especially in the Vista OS can be traced to old
registrations made by a previous DM installation.
Please let me know what parts are not clear.
Thanks,

Sync problem with Outlook 2007 and BDS version 7.1

I upgraded from 6 to 7,1 on Blackberry Desktop Software and now get the following error when trying to USB sync. I use homail account through outlook connector.
"Unable to access local folders. If your Outlook profile uses Hotmail connector, you must create a local data store (PST) and set it as the default delivery location for the profile."
I have had no problems syncing until I upgraded to version 7.1. Is there a fix for this or how do I reinstal version 6.
Thanks in advance

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here is a KB that discusses that error:
KB32597 A Hotmail connector error appears when attempting to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook using the BlackBerry Desktop Software
Hopefully it contains something useful! There also are multiple existing threads on this site that discuss that exact error...your review of those might prove useful, and a search of this site, using the error message, error code, or symptom, should reveal all applicable existing threads to you.
As an alternative, I suggest this thread:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Cleanly-quot-Starting-Over-quot-with-...
It starts with a process for cleanly starting over, and there is some discussion, and there is also a post (15) with links to older Desktop Software versions, if those are needed. Note that this is not, by any means, guaranteed to work...but it has worked for many to resolve issues they are having.
Good luck and let us know!

Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

Sync problems with outlook 2007 calender

I am new in this type of comms.
BUT: I have a Palm Tungsten T5; have Palm Desktop 6.2.2 with the update for Windows7.
I have a sync problem with outlook 2007 calender; contacts, ToDo, memos all ok.
HotSynLog says: there are multi-day repeating records. [i knew that they do not sync, hence i deleted them PRIOR to syncing]
I found the listed records BUT either on dif days and they are "no timed" ones! and NOT multi-days ones.
I deleted them anyway - did a re-sync. With no different result. Still listed - though deleted and now non-existent.
Error code: OLERR: 03-000F (0xaf604005) and others - if this means anything.
Post relates to: Palm TX

Hello,
I receive email on my device from two addresses: 1) @sprint.blackberry.net and 2) @charter.net. When I was having problems similar to those you are experiencing, I had these two addresses listed under Default Services - Calendar (CICAl) - Messaging (CMIME). These addresses were @sprint.blacberry.net and @charter.net. Once I followed the steps previously referenced, only one email address(@sprint.blackberry.net) appeared under the (CICAI) and (CMMIE) default setting. Reference to @charter.net was removed. My syncs have worked correctly since then; however, I only two way synce with the device and Outlooks. I also continue to get emails from both addresses without a problem.
If you don't mind giving up the Yahoo calendar, I would do the same. If you want to continue using the Yahoo calendar, I'm guessing that it must be selected in the Default Services - Calendar (CICAI) before performing a sync. Likewise for your @sprint.blackberry.net address; it also must be selected in the Default Services prior to performing a device to Outlook sync.
I hope this helps.

Sync Mystery with Outook 2007 and iTunes 9.2.15 Continues

I have had a painful week trying to get iTunes to Sync again with Outlook 2007.
The problem started after upgrading. After exhaustive troubleshooting, I strongly believe the culprit is a cached sync file within iTunes.
I have reset my iTouch, removed all of my Outlook Syncs, reset synched history, forced sync, etc.
I treated my iTouch as a brand new device (factory reset) and started over.
When I had iTunes resync Outlook with my iTouch (again for the first time), it Synced OLD OUTLOOK DATA... ie, It did not read the new data from Outlook. And, I read through the log files. The log files are pulling the fresh data from Outlook (I see the fresh data in the logs) and the sync, according to the logs, PASSES. The iTunes diagnostics also PASSES.
My question is... how do I clear this old sync file?

Sync now working. In Outlook, selected View, Current View, Events. Then View, Current View, Customize Current View, then Fields, all appointment fields, and moved reminder into the view. Then clicked every event that had a reminder, set the reminder to none, and eventually returned to the Day Week Month view. Next sync, all events synced both ways.
Success. !!

Blackberry Curve won't sync properly with Outlook 2007

Hi
I've searched the forums and can't find the answer to my problem so I wonder if anyone could help.
I keep all my business contacts on Outlook 2007 (there are almost 3,000 of them so I can't wipe them).
Recently, I downloaded the Version 7 of the Blackberry Desktop software. I then got an error message that I searched the forums for and discovered that many others had the same problem. The 'fix' recommended, until Blackberry resolves the issue, was to uninstall version 7 and reinstall version 6. I did this.
Now, however, I can't seem to get my Outlook calendar syncing with my Blackberry, and it keeps syncing the wrong address book. For some reason (goes back to an old desktop upgrade and doing backups - it was a friend who did it and I haven't a clue about such things) I have three different 'sets' of contacts or 'address books' in my Outlook 2007. None of them are syncing.
Basically, I want to have just one set of contacts (i.e., one single address book on my desktop Outlook 2007) and one single calendar, and have both syncing correctly with my Blackberry Curve.
Does anyone have some kind of real 'idiots' guide' to how to do this, please? I've tried doing a search for the correct 'path' etc., but it frankly just confuses me.
Many thanks.

When I've had challenges like this.. and searched and searched for solutions, I eventually contacted my provider who then put mt on to BB support direct... that's when I got an expert on the phone and they sorted it out in no time flat once we went back over exactly what had happened...
That'd be my suggestion.. but then again, my phone was supplied by my povider..
I've got a 9800, so the menus etc are different I guess..
Good luck

Error when syncing iPhone with Outlook 2007 since updating iPhone to 1.1.2

Since updating to 1.1.2 I receive this message "OutlookSyncClient has stopped working". I am running Vista Business with Outlook 2007. Prior to updating to 1.1.2 I had no issues. I have tested this running iTunes 7.4.3.1 and 7.5.0.20. My contacts sync with no issues, only my calendar does not work. Has anyone else ran into this issue and have you found a resolution/work around?
Thanks,

ICloud sync issues with Outlook 2007

I am currently using Outlook 2007 and want to sync my Iphone 4S with it. I have setup the icloud settings etc and I am having the following issues.
When I change something on my phone there is no wireless sync happening even though its setup?
When I go to my outlook calendar it gives me two choices. A pink tab says Calendar in Cloud and a green tab says work in Cloud. When I sync my phone calendar changes show up in the green Work in Cloud. However, the Work in Cloud does not contain many of my previous inputs prior to starting with the icloud service.
When I click on Contact it’s initially blank and says no contacts, if I click on Contacts in Cloud my contacts show up.
Can you help with these items? Thanks in advance.

ok...
From experience, I can tell you the two calendars are both default calendars with iCloud. 'Work in Cloud' probably doesn't contain any of previous inputs because your iphone probably defaults to your regular calendar.
For me, I was able to get a good understanding by looking at the icloud calendar at icloud.com and the outlook calendar side by side. I recommend doing so, and playing around with things so you can figure out how they work.
With Outlook, you are going to have locally stored stuff (like Contacts), and your cloud-stored stuff (like Contacts in Cloud). That is why you are seeing two different sets of data. It looks like you dont have any locally stored contact, which is fine. All of your contacts are in iCloud (or...Contacts in Cloud), which should correlate to your iphone. again, it might be best to just pull up icloud.com, and put it side by side with outlook. it helped me get a good understanding of how it works.

Sync Issues with outlook 2007

here is the issues in a nutshell.....
1) When I put an appointment into my blackberry as a full day, it syncs with
my outlook as a 2 day appointment. This also happens when I do an all day
appointment in outlook it changes to a 2 day appointment on my blackberry.
2) Also when I put an appointment into my blackberry at a specific time eg.
8:00am meeting it syncs in outlook at 7:00am meeting, one hour earlier…….
Strange
I have been through all the blogs and crackberry.com, and this one but can’t seem to find
a resolution…..
I have downloaded the DST patch for both outlook and blackberry but nothing
changes…… adjusted both clocks on Outlook and my Blackberry as well. I have verified that the BIOS clock is also correct.
I am running the blackberry desktop manager 4.3, Outlook 2007, and have a
blackberry curve 8310, that has v4.2.2.153 software on it.
Any help would be appreciated
thanks in advance

Syncing iPhone with Outlook 2007 after hard drive crash.

I recently had a hard drive crash. We were able to retrieve the .pst files for Outlook 2007 and I sync my iPhone with Outlook for contacts, calendar and such for business. The iPhone of course, was not affected. I downloaded iTunes on the new hard drive, and backed up the phone. (I sync music and apps on my husband's laptop.)
Now, in trying to sync, though, I get a lot of nebulous messages that really don't explain what the outcome will be.
Box says:
The information on the iPhone "Susan's iPhone" is synced with another user account. Do you want to sync this iPhone with the information from this user account instead?
(Choices: "Merge Info mergest th einformation on this iPhone with the information from this user account. OR "Replace Info" replaces the information on this iPhone with the information from this user account. )
My best guess would be 'Merge info" but then, will I end up with double everything? I have many hundreds of contacts and years of calendars.
It seems with Apple I'm always cleaning up one mess after another. Today when installing iTunes, it corrupted my Outlook and I had to repair Outlook. So it would be a nightmare to have double of everything on my phone and on my computer.
Does anyone have a clue as to what to expect?

On a PC with Windows or with Paralels iTunes 8.2 has an option for Outlook which works with Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 (if it works - see my post on a case where it doesn't ...)

Sync contacts with outlook 2007

I am having problems getting a good sync between Outlook 2007 and the iOS Contacts app in my iPhone. Some don't show up, some get lost. We use MS Exhange.

Nevermind.
My iTunes had been acting kinda funny in general so I rebooted my PC, when I did I got an error that a process with iTunes was hung. When the PC came back up it was able to sync my contacts to Outlook with out issue.

My 3gs won't sync contacts with outlook 2007

No matter what i try, i can't get my 3gs to sync my contacts with outlook 2007.
Anybody had this problem and figure it out?

What have you tried so far?
Which iOS is your phone running on?
Basic troubleshooting steps.
1) Connect your phone to iTunes; click on your phone's name; Select "sync conatcts with outlook" from the other window.
2) Make sure your outlook is configured to a mail account. If you don't use mail account on outlook, configure it anyhow.

Newbie- Sync with Outlook 2007 on Vista Ultimate

Hi,
I have a user having trouble when synchronizing his BB 8300 with Outlook 2007. Everything used to worked fine, but by now it seems like after sync he looses changes made on the BB's calendar or the Outlook. I mean, that it does not keep the last changes ....
Any clues ?
thanks in advance,

Thanks for your reply. Additional question: I syc my treo 600 to my home outlook 2007 on Vista. However I sync my treo 600 to my desktop on my office laptop. If I download the outlook 2007 conduit on my home PC what will happy to the desktop version on my laptop. Will I still be able to sync and use it on the desktop? The reason I ask is because one of the points mentioned in the procedure is if you use the desktop then do not download the conduit. Is the conduit for the treo or the PC? Can I download the conduit to my home pc and not affect the laptop desktop?
Thanks
