Still Having Outlook 03 Contact Sync Problems

OK first the baseline information.
Systems:
iPhone 3G 2.0 software
iTunes 7.7
Windows XP Version 2002 Service Pack 2
Outlook 2003 Service Pack 3 (Office Professional)
Other Considerations:
Always connected to Exchange server when trying to sync.
Contacts folder only exists on Exchange server (i.e. nothing in local .pst)
Have deleted the offline file (.ost) and had Outlook recreate.
Do not have and other "INFO" in iTunes selected to sync except Contacts (i.e. no calendar).
Issue:
Sync starts but just goes on forever until I get the error message that the Outlooksyncclient.exe has failed. No contacts are sync'ed. I have been using and syncing my iTouch for a year now and have had no problems. Now the iTouch will not sync too (same problem). I tried to sync my bookmarks from IE and this was also hanging until I (in the middle of the iTunes syncing process) when to the task manager and killed the Outlooksyncclient.exe program. After I did this, the syncing continued with the bookmarks being successfully sync. Of course, not the Contacts.
I have reset the sync history and this has done nothing. I'm at my wits end on this problem. I am concern about uninstalling iTunes because I have over 300 full CD's loaded and I can't afford the time to reload all of them again. This clearly can not be the problem associated with recurring calendar items, since I am not trying to sync the calendar at all. I have not tried to put any other sync'ed information on the iPhone other than the Contacts and Bookmarks. But not having my contacts (and in the future my calendar) is a big issue.
One other possible consideration is the fact that I have the e-mail on the iPhone set up to pull messages from my AT&T web based Worldnet account. This has been working fine, but I don't know if that would impact the Outlooksyncclient.exe program. I do not have an Exchange e-mail account defined because my companies Exchange servers are not set up to operate and exchange information to these types of devices (don't think this matters, but figure I would mention it).
I would really appreciate any direction/help on this issue. Syncing my contacts is critical to having my iPhone useful. I have already entered 80+ entries into its contact list, but this is not a sustainable approach.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Ernie

BTW, no other 3rd party software loaded, and I've double checked the Outlook e-mail COM Add-Ins and Add-In Manager to confirm this.

Still having Aperture iPhone sync problems

I'm new to Aperture, and have had odd issues when syncing selected Aperture albums through iTunes to my iPhone 3G. Edits do not appear in images on my iPhone - not even simple crops. In order for my photos to consistently appear with edits intact from Aperture is to force Aperture to generate previews almost every time. This is a big hassle to do EVERY time, especially when I have to do it for hundreds of photos at a time!
Also, Aperture isn't syncing to my iPhone 3G in chronological order like it did in iPhoto '09 just a couple weeks ago. All my images, albums, etc. are sorted by image date in Aperture, but there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason as to how iTunes/Aperture sync to my iPhone 3G. I'd like to be able to scroll down to my newest photos on the iPhone like I did when I synced with iPhoto '09.
I like using my iPhone and Apple TV to show photos to clients, and I would like to have them appear in chronological order like they should.
Are these two issues bugs, or is there a fix?
I've reinstalled Aperture, restored my iPhone, repaired permissions on my Mac, and the issues remain.
Thank you.

This has been discussed on the iPhone forum. The best way to "fix it" is change the album sort in aperture to custom (drop down menu). This seems to fix it.

Is anyone still having discrete graphics card problems after replacement

Is anyone still having discrete graphics card problems after replacement?
Macbook Pro eligible for replacement through Apple program.
Submitted my computer 2 days before program came into effect.
They replaced card or logic board with same original model: AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
Issued me a refund check for my repair.
Seems to have some noticeable issues, fan running more than usual again, and temporary graphic lines,
but disappear too fast before a screen dump...
Is anyone who has participated in the replacement program received a different graphic card for
Model Macbook Pro 17" (late 2011)
Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately I have yet to call AppleCare because I am on a project for 3 weeks and cannot be without my laptop during that period....
Until that time I am trying to figure out what I can do to protect the Palm Rest/Mouse Pad area of my Macbook once they either fix it or give me a new one. Has anyone had any experience with either of these products that can provide some input as to whether they are good or bad?

Nokia 6230 Contacts Sync Problem with Outlook

I have a Nokia 6230 and used to sync my contacts with outlook using PCSYNC. Now I receive a message that sync is completed but only 1 or 2 contacts are copied to the outlook (always the same ones). I have already updated the PC Synch version many times, tried to change configurations on PC Sync and on the phone, created new folders on outlook and sync profiles, cleaned the configuration files on "documents and settings" folder, contacted Nokia phone suport in Brazil, but nothing worked.
I use Windows 2000 SP4 in English, connect through Infrared and have the 6.81.13.0 version of PC Sync (I have already tried many other versions). I'm using Phone memory. When I use PC Sync explorer those same few contacts that are synchronized are the only ones that I can see in the contacts folder.
I think the problem is in some configuration file in Windows environment or I have a problem with the phone set.
Please if anyone could help me I would apreciate. I have lost many hours trying to fix that problem.

Today I searched through the discussions and found many other users with the same problem (Himalaya2050, Marbru, tugrulislier). Almost everybody using Nokia6230 and using international character set, maybe the root cause for the sync problem.
I think Nokia should have a tested fix for that problem.
Was the phone update the solution for other users? Do you have any feedback? I haven't found in the discussions any user with that problem solved.
When I first contact Nokia support in Brazil they told me to do many time consuming procedures (reinstall and update PC sw many times) that didn't worked and didn't make sense for me, as the sync was working with previous version. So I don't want to try another non tested solution, because I will have to go to a tech assistance, wait and probably loose all the information stored on the phone.
I think I will have to exchange my phone ...

Contact sync problem in Link.

I am facing 2 problems while syncing contacts with Blackberry Link -
When there are sync conflicts, the small window that appears listing all the conflicts is unresponsive and the scroll bars in it don't function. The information is not completely visible.
I have multiple contacts with more than 1 mobile number(more than 1 phone number, and all of them have the same field 'Mobile'). When I sync these with Outlook, it seems to save only one of these numbers. I came to know that the numbers were permanently lost when I exported my Outlook contacts as .vcf files to my old Nokia s40 phone.
I realise that the second issue is not associated with Link, but that leaves me with no way to preserve my phonebook except using some contacts exporting app from Blackberry World to export my phonebook as a single .vcf file, which again is not supported by Outlook(it seems to import only the first contact from the .vcf file).
Please suggest me some way to batch-export my contacts as separate .vcf files.
I found out recently that Samsung Kies supports .vcf files with multiple contacts, but it also shows only one out of 2 or 3 mobile numbers. Also, there is no way in it to batch-export the contacts, and I cannot export 785 contacts one-by-one.

Hi,
same problem here: iPhone does not sync contacts any more, either way. I've searched Discussions, reinstalled iTunes after having deleted prefs and cache, reinitialised iSync history, restaured iPhone to factory setting, unlocked again with Ziphone 3.0, checked New phone in iTunes, nothing nothing nothing: no contacts were transferred from my Mac to the iPhone. I've tried to back up and erase my Addressbook: useless. I've tried adding a single contact. not synced. I've checked, and I don't have any particular custom filed on my Addressbook. I've noticed that on iTunes the contacts groups that I have on my AB, are not seen and checkable on the INFO tab, sync contacts section. It's like iTunes and AddressBook are not "communicating".
I can't believe such a vital function cannot work! and I have no clue what do to, since I refuse to reinstall Leopard for such an issue, too much of an hassle!
Please, help!

ITunes 10.1, Outlook 2010 Sync-Problem

Dear Apple community,
My name is Thomas, I'm 27 years old, come from Austria and i am new here.
As it´s most, I came to this forum in search of a problem solution.
Unfortunately, I have not found this solution yet, so I opened this thread.
Here is my problem:
I use a PC with Windows 7 Business, Outlook 2010 and iTunes 10.1.
Now I would like to synchronize my Outlook contacts using iTunes on my iPhone.
But in Outlook, I have several contact folders, as well as Private, professional, etc.
With Outlook 2007, I was able to synchronize the contacts folders i want with iTunes.
In Outlook 2010 the option to select the contact folders i want no longer appears in iTunes. I can only select the option to synchronize all contacts.
So my question:
Are there any known problems when you synchronize multiple contact folders with Outlook 2010 and iTunes 10.1?
Is there a trick, that I can see my individual Outlook contact folders in iTunes again?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Thomas

This was reported months ago, but Apple don't care enough to fix it.
If it was just Outlook 2010, I could understand the problem was with Microsoft, but I have experienced the same problem with Outlook 2007. I have even gone back to using iTunes 9.2.1.5, and still I can't sync my calendar with Outlook, which has rendered my iPod Touch useless since I have to use my old iPaq Pocket PC.
Had this bug been fixed, I would have bought an iPhone.

Ovi Outlook Contact Sync to E72 Failed

Hi all out there,
I seem to have a big problem sync-ing the contacts gotten from outlook to my E72 contact.
Have tried all ways but still failed to have the contacts sync to E72.
Any kind soul to advise what is there for me to do.

Seems not to occur anymore.

Outlook/iPhone Sync Problem - MSGS will not leave outlook inbox

I have successfully allowed my iPhone to sync with my corporate Outlook server (I am only syncing email thus far) but am still experiencing a few lingering problems. Any help would be most appreciated.
1)Emails that I receive on the iPhone and then delete or file into a folder, are moved thusly on the computer but are also left in the inbox. So, it is actually (most likely) not 'moving' the email, but rather making a copy of that email and moving it into the correct folder.
I would like it if it acted like my .Mac account does, and have the computer reflect perfectly whatever I do on my iPhone. If I file an email, it should be filed (without a copy being made) on the computer as well.
2)The iPhone apparently created its own folder called 'deleted items' which I can now see on my computer under outlook. So, now there are TWO 'deleted items' folders, the original and the one that iPhone added and I only need one. When I delete a file on the iPhone it should be thusly moved on the computer, without making its own new folder.
If you can offer me any assistance on these issues, it would be most appreciated. I have come so close to having a workable solution, and I will be in heaven if these two issues (or even just one!) are taken care of.
Thanks again for your help.

I (and others) are having this same problem with other mail servers as well. I know of atleast three forum members who are having this exact issue with their .Mac account.
The problem does not seem to be specific to a particular mail server.
Thanks for your efforts!

Outlook contacts sync puts some 1st AND last names in iPhone 1st name

After I initially synched all my Outlook contacts onto my new iPhone, some of the names show up on the iPhone as "lastname firstname" (which is what I want), but some show up as "firstname lastname". The problem with this is that they don't sort correctly. I've looked into the Outlook contact, and, in both cases, they have the correct firstname and lastname fields. In the iPhone contact, the entire name (firstname lastname) is in the iPhone firstname field and the lastname field is blank. I can find no other difference between the correctly synched contact and the incorrectly synched contact.
Any suggestions??

The sync messed up somehow. Sync does that sometimes.
If you plug in the phone, but don't sync it yet, I believe there is an option somewhere (labeled Advanced) to overwrite the information on the phone with information from your computer. You might try that, for contacts. Explore all the iPhone panels in iTunes.
Alternatively, delete all your contacts on the phone and re-sync.
Caveat: I'm no sync expert and don't use windows.

.mac iCloud address causing 'contacts' syncing problems

Hello,
This may have already been addressed here, but if not hopefully this may be helpful. I have been having many issues syncing contacts to my iPad Air. The correct contacts are on my Macbook, my iCloud account, and on my iPhone, however they were not syncing correctly to my iPad. I tried all the usual fixes, i.e. turning iCloud off on my iPad, signing out of iCloud on my iPad and singing back in, etc... to no avail. Everything BUT contacts was syncing between all my devices.
That is when I noticed that all my devices under settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars->Accounts listed an 'iCloud' account for mail, contacts, calendars, Safari. However, my iPad Air listed a .MAC address for these. If I tried to add an iCloud account, it would say that an iCloud account has already been added to your iPad. Once I deleted the .Mac account and choose to erase all the information on my iPad, I was able to add a iCloud account back to my iPad. The account now shows up as an 'iCloud' account and not a '.Mac' account. Problem solved. Hope this helps anyone having this issue.
Billy

Did you change it on both phones? If you are syncing contacts with separate iCloud accounts on both phones, then the only way I can think of that your contacts would be linked is by syncing them both with another external sources, such as an exchange account. Setting iCloud as the default account for contacts on both phones would cause new contacts to be created in iCloud, and since your iCloud accounts are different on each phone, I don't see how contacts added to the iCloud account on one phone would be seen on the other.
You may need to go to icloud.com and confirm that new contacts added to each phone are added to your separate iCloud accounts, just to confirm that the change to settings is working properly.

Outlook contact groups problem in iTunes v11

How can i find the Info Tab in iTunes v11?
And my main problem is; how can i select the desired contact groups in Outlook Contacts which the sync with my iPhone 4S with iOS 6.0.1.

Hi,
I would like to create two folders - one for me and one for my wife. So under 'My Contacts' in Outlook 2010 it looks like this:
Suggested contacts
Contacts
Suggested contacts (email address)
Simon's contacts
Julie's contacts
iTunes has picked up these sub-folders - THANKS!
However, I would like to keep the 'Contacts' folder with all the contacts in and only copy selected contacts from there and place them into my wife's folder and mine. The 'copy' function does not seem to work.
Obviously my contacts are different to my wife's and she does not want hundreds of names on her contact list.
So, basically how do I copy contacts without moving them out of the contacts folder and manually typing them all back in my wife's folder (some contacts we both need)?
Hope you can help on this one.
Many thanks,
Simon

Outlook calander sync problem

Just received my iphone for christmas. I can't seem to sync my calander to my phone. It keeps asking me to set up mail as default client. I use outlook express and want to keep using this as my email. Is there away around this so I can sync my calander. Thanks for the help.

Howdy Bobbyg1,
If you are still having difficulty syncing your Outlook calendar to your iPad and iPhone either via iTunes or iCloud. If you are using iTunes to sync your data, I would use this article:
Troubleshooting Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010
If you are syncing Outlook to your iCloud account and the data is showing at www.icloud.com when you log in, use the iOS section of the following article. If it does not show at www.icloud.com, then use Outlook section instead:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling
