Syncing email via USB

Is there any way to sync email between Outlook and the iPhone via the USB connection - from what I've read on this forum is seems like it can't be done.
What is the reason for not allowing email to be sync'd via USB?

Firstly you should not have installed iSync 1.5 under Mac OS X 10.4.11.
iSync 2.4 is the version of iSync for Mac OS X 10.4.11 and is already installed. By installing an older version you may have broken syncing completely because doing so will have overwritten important system components with much older versions.
Hopefully, you made a full system backup before installing iSync 1.5 so that you can easily revert to it.
The reason why no existing iSync Plugins (which can only be used with iSync 2.4 and later) don't support USB syncing is because the phone itself doesn't support USB syncing on a Mac. You can only sync older Sony Ericsson phones via Bluetooth.
Even if the phone was USB compatible, if you can't navigate the menus then you couldn't have put the phone in the correct USB mode. Plus, you couldn't have transferred the contacts anyway, as contacts are not visible via USB on any Sony Ericsson phones.
So, unfortunately if you can't use the phone, there is no way to get your contacts off it, unless you happened to copy your contacts onto the SIM and can put the SIM in another fully working phone.

  • Can I sync Mail via USB with my PowerBook?

    I have a new iPhone 4S and a PowerBook G4 17" with 2 GB of RAM that is in mint condition.  I understand that I won't get e-mail from a Mail account directly on my PowerBook once I convert from MobileMe to iCloud, unless Apple or a third party develops an "app for that".  No way do I want to buy a whole new Mac just for iCloud.  Given the ability to sync music and photos between iPhone and PowerBook right now via the USB cord for my iPhone, can I also sync my Mail via USB if I upgrade to iCloud on my iPhone?

    You may sync your mac with iPhone via iTunes, as always with iPhones, check whether version is compatible with last iOS. Then your iPhone may sync with iCloud. I still have a 12 in PB made in 2004, it works fine with my iPhone, just it is older, the first iPhone on the market, it sill works fine, no need to replace it.
    Before testing anything, backyp your data, just in case you make a mistake, always do that.

  • Can I not sync Calendar via USB anymore?

    I just noticed that my iPad no longer syncs with the Calendar on my laptop. I did a search in the Help menu (which actually worked this time) and it said that you have to sync Calendars in Maverick with iCloud. What??? I don't use iCloud, and don't intend to.
    Is this true? Hooking up the iPad to the computer no longer syncs data through the cable??

    Hello Dub1_303. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Ok so here is what i have to work with, an action tech modem with a usb port, and a airport express connected to it via that usb port. the problem is in the airport express itself. Its not configured yet! How can i configure the AE via usb because this pc running vista doesn't have wifi? Can it be done via usb?
    The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) must be connected to a DSL/Cable modem via Ethernet to function as a wireless router; the AX's USB port is only for connecting to a USB printer.
    It sounds like you are attempting to use the AX as a substitute wireless card for the PC by connecting it to the PC's USB port. Sorry, but that will not work.

  • Can you synchroniz​e outlook email via USB?

    I have a palm centro and wondered if there is a way to synchronize my email via a usb connection.  I have synchronized calendar, tasks, and memos.  Is there software available to do this?
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Do you have the Palm Desktop software installed which came with the Centro?  The Versamail user guide describes the setup procedure in Chap. 9, with Start > Programs > Palm group, then selecting Versamail setup.
    The Versamail application isn't labeled "Versamail" on the Centro.  The icon is just named "Email".  But it should also be mapped to the Mail hard button (bottom right).  At least, it was on my AT&T Centro...maybe Verizon is different.  If it's not, you should be able to change it

  • Sync email via iCloud vs. IMAP account

    I have access to my iCloud email account set up via IMAP on all my Macs, and I also have accounts on my iDevices. IMAP keeps my email in sync by storing messages on the server, so what's the added advantage of checking "Mail & Notes" on my Macs? Does that just add notes to the synching process, or is there something else?

    @PDADoc: I just tried activating Mail & Notes on one of my Macs on which I hadn't manually set up an account to access my iCloud (formerly MobileMe) email. Doing so immediately created an iCloud account in Mail.app. In the past, I had always set up my Mac-based MobileMe accounts manually, since I wanted to use a different replyto address than ****@me.com or ****@mac.com. With MobileMe, that wasn't possible, but I just discovered that you can specify another replyto address for an iCloud account in Mail.app. I just tried sending email from that account, and the alternative address worked as expected.
    So maybe that's the reason for the Mail & Notes checkbox in iCloud. Unlike iOS, where iCloud is one of the explicit choices when you add a new email account, there's no such option on the Mac.
    I'll be interested to see if this works for you.

  • Can't sync Centro via USB in Windows 7

    Hi, I just installed Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (clean install). I had previously used Vista and could sync just fine. My sync freezes at 2 or 12. The weird thing is there are two instances of "Date Book" listed in the hotsync window. Also two each "Address Book, "To Do List," and "Memo Pad."
    I installed Palm Desktop 6.2 that I just downloaded from Palm.com. After running into trouble, I followed some of the troubleshooting items on the Palm support site. I unistalled Palm Desktop and reinstalled, but got the same thing.
    I think the issue is the drive. When I look in Device Manager, I get a small gray question mark next to the device. Not sure if that's an issue. I tried reinstalling the driver by clicking "Update Driver" in the device manager and pointing to this filepath: C:\Program Files\Palm\USB_Driver. It said in installed okay, but then I still get this freeze when trying to sync.
    Help!

  • Sync mail from Outlook to iPhone via USB Cable

    I have a problem by synchronizing my iPhone with my Outlook 2007.
    I want to synchronize my Outlook mail, contacts and calendar by using iTunes.
    I have set iTunes to synchronize via USB Cable and it works for the contacts and calendar but I can’t see my mail.
    I assume the mail should be at the bottom “Mail” on my iPhone?
    I have set iTunes to sync mail to Outlook but I can’t se anything
    How do I set op iTunes to sync my mail to the phone?
    Please help as I can only find answers for problems with Push server….
    Thanks in advance:)

    iTunes does not support syncing email account mailboxes and messages with an email client on your computer. The option under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes for email accounts is for transferring the email account settings from a supported application on your computer to the iPhone's Mail client only so you don't have to manually create the account.
    If you want to keep mailboxes synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account, you need an IMAP account which is specifically designed for this.

  • TS2776 iPhone 5, Outlook 2013, Windows 7.0 64-bit.  Every time I connect my phone to my computer via USB, iTunes opens with the "accept our terms and service" then deselects the boxes checked under the INFO tab to sync my calendars, contacts...help?

    I am connecting my iPhone 5 to my Windows computer via USB.  This should open iTunes and start the sync process.  Instead of iTunes opening, I get the iTunes service agreement to which I must agree.  Then iTunes opens and begins to back up my phone.  It is syncing my photos and music (although the music thing is another nightmare), but under the "info" tab in iTunes, the boxes of which functions I want to sync are no longer selected.  Hence the computer and the phone are not sharing information.  When I select the functions I want to sync, I must either replace or merge.  If I replace, I lose the information I recently put into my phone.  If I choose to merge, then I have duplicates of everything.
    How can I resolve this problem? Why is iTunes acting like it doesn't know my phone?
    I'm using an iPhone 5 iOS 6.1.4, Windows 7 64-bit, Outlook 13, and the must current version of iTunes (because I've removed and reinstalled it twice already).
    Thanks for any help!

    After you'd run the Configure Classic instance did you run in the statement as stated in 'Oracle® Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports and Discoverer 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) Part Number E10421-05'?
    java -classpath ORACLE_HOME_DIR\discoverer\lib\disco-config.jar;ORACLE_HOME_DIR\oui\jlib\OraInstaller.jar;ORACLE_HOME_DIR\opmn\lib\iasprovision.jar -Djava.library.path=ORACLE_HOME_DIR\oui\lib\win32 oracle.disco.install.config.DiscoUtil -oraclehome ORACLE_HOME_DIR -tnsadmin TNS_ADMIN_DIR
    I've completed an installation with the same steps (although I ran the config.bat file in as_1/bin rather than from the program files list and also I've the jrockit jdk installed)
    I've found that this fails with the error;
    INFO: This tool works only on Windows Platform. Exiting the program
    Which is strange considering this is Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit
    DISCO is running in the EM console but the URLs (as defined in the installation summary report) do not resolve properly. I was just interested to hear if you're installation was the same, this isn't the first installation I've done, they've all had a similar issue

  • IPhone 5 contacts local sync via usb doesn't work - updated

    Syncing an iPhone 5, AT&T 64GB, with Macbook Air 11" mid-2011, 1.8GHz / 4GB.
    OS X 10.10.2; iTunes 12.1.0.50; iOS 8.1.3.
    I am trying to sync my contacts from my OS X Contacts App to my iPhone 5 via USB. The contacts do not sync. The contacts are local, "on my mac". I am using a usb cable through iTunes.
    The iPhone 5 was just restored by Apple Configurator, set up as new iPhone, and is supervised by the MacBook Air.
    I am also synchronizing my local Calendars from the OS X Calendar app; these transfer just fine. This makes me think it is probably not to do with the entire setup of the iPhone, i.e. that it is managed by apple configurator, since some of the sync works correctly.
    Under "info" in the iTunes sync dialog, I have selected the "sync contacts" and "all contacts" and "sync calendars" and "all calendars" options.
    Interestingly, while the Calendars sync options displays options of "selected calendars" and a list of my calendars available to sync, the Contacts section "selected groups" is grayed out. I have one group in Contacts, and it does not show up by name for "selected groups". Instead, the area where groups should be listed for selection is empty. Perhaps iTunes does not have access to my local contacts? It is not listed under apps with access to my contacts under security and privacy, and it has not requested access to my contacts.
    I created a fake contact on the phone and synced it with iTunes. I then turned off contact syncing in iTunes and told it to remove previously synced contacts. The fake contact disappeared. When I turned contact syncing on again, the contact was again pushed to the phone. However, the fake contact did not appear at any point in the OS X Contacts App, and none of my OS X Contacts appeared on my phone -- only the fake contact I had created on my phone and then synced with iTunes.
    I also created a (different) fake contact in OS X Contacts. iTunes sync did not transfer this contact (or any others) from OS X Contacts to iPhone.
    SUMMARY:
    - syncing iPhone 5 via USB with iTunes
    - Calendar sync works
    - Contacts sync doesn't work
    - iTunes appears to have no communication with the OS X Contacts app; in system prefs > security and privacy > privacy > contacts, Pages and Word have access to Contacts, but iTunes is not listed. iTunes Contacts sync "selected groups" does not display my OS X Contacts group names.
    - Contacts created on iPhone sync back to iTunes and are restored back to the iPhone if deleted and resynced.
    - Contacts created on iPhone do not sync back to OS X Contacts; Contacts in OS X Contacts do not sync to iPhone.
    (apologies for premature posting to "Using iPhone"; I accidentally submitted and now can't delete or edit).

    Here's the resolution: I went to my local Apple store and spoke to the guy. After some discussion it turned out that one of the staff had had a similar problem. He suggested this course and I can report that it seems to work. So, (1) open your system preferences and then the print & fax setting and delete the printer in question (2) disconnect the USB between the printer and the TimeCapsule (3) shut everything down and turn off power to your modem, your TimeCapsule and your whole system (4) power on each item in its normal sequence (5) wait for your iMac to complete its boot-up, (6) re-connect the USB between the printer and the TimeCapsule (7) open system preferences and search for and install the relevant printer (8) try printing.
    This is hardly elegant, but it worked. I am told (by the same Apple store) that hitting the "reset" button in the TimeCapsule might also work. If this is intuitive or obvious to anyone else then my compliments to them ...
    Cheers

  • Pearl 8130 will no longer sync with Outlook 2007 or Entourage 2008 Calendar via USB

    I currently have the Pearl 8130 v4.5.0.77 running Desktop Manager v4.7 on my office computer (Windows XP) and Pocketmac on my home computer (iMac OS 10). I do not utilize the BES - all syncing is done via USB.
    I previously used the earlier version of DM and had no issues syncing all information between the BB, iMac, and XP machines.  Now I can no longer sync any of my Calendar information - one-way or two-way - to or from the BB to either computer.  My, tasks, contacts/address book all sync without issue. 
    I've read through the various threads in this forum (and other online forums) and tried the various fixes with no success.  Any help is much appreciated.  The calendar sync is critical otherwise my Pearl could be cast to swine.

    I had the same problem.  I found this answer in the Solution Center and it worked.  I found that after adding Facebook to my BB it had changed the default calendar.  This Resolution fixed it!  
    Resolution 1
    To resolve this issue, change the default calendar service book by completing the following steps:
    From the Home screen of the BlackBerry smartphone, click Options > Advanced Options > Default Services.
    Change the value of the Calendar (CICAL) field to the desired calendar service book.
    Save the changes and synchronize again.
    Resolution 2
    Upgrade to BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0.97 or later.  For instructions, see KB03901.

  • My ipod touch(4th gen)no longer syncs to itunes 10.7 via USB

    My ipod touch(4th gen)no longer syncs to itunes 10.7 via usb. i knew it didn't work via wifi with the new updates but this is too far. i can't see it in itunes at all anymore. i restarted my ipod already still with no results. the only thing i did is create and delete playlist from the ippd and deleted others from itunes as well. i've done it before but this time i assume it's led to this. any suggestions?

    Disregard. It seems i just needed to install an optional update with windows update. either that or just restart my computer instead of my ipod. silly me.

  • I can no longer sync my calendar via USB after updating to Mavericks.

    Updated to Mavericks, set up iCloud but itunes (11.1.5) will no longer sync calendars with my iphone.
    Worked fine under osx10.8 before the update.
    I phone is an old 3g running ios 3.1 (yeah, I know it's old) so I realize that wifi syncing will no longer work.
    I would like to be able to sync my calendar via USB. Otherwise, sycing music etc via cable still works fine.
    Please don't just suggest that I buy a new phone. I will soon. But in the meantime I would like to solve this problem as it has caused me trouble with missed meetings and conflicting timetables.

    Yes, there are many posts on it. It is no longer possible in Mavericks to locally sync Calanders and Contacts via USB. Nut there are plenty of alternatives beside iCloud.
    Here are some solutions.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6311
    Here is another
    http://www.apple.com/au/osx/server/
    Here is yet another
    If your Mavericks came with anything other than Mavericks pre-installed
    OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
    Also there are a host of other Cloud services you can use. You do not have to use iCloud at all. Although there ARE over 320+ million iCloud accounts presently active, so it is extremely popular with users.
