Syncing iphone with Outlook,  please help

I have been with Apple support on the phone, but so far they can't help me. my contacts sync to Outlook Express(old version from when I used to have dial up) but the calendar (Outlook 2003) doesn't sync either way..from pc to phone or phone to pc. Does anyone have a clue why it's not working for me? I think there is a conflict with having both Outlook Express and Outlook... but I don't know how to remove Outlook Express... it's not listed in the Add/Remove list. Could some really savvy techie help me? Thanks for listening!
dell   Windows XP  

hey walter25 thanks for the info... I ran through that link and of course Outlook Express cannot be deleted without a lot of hassle... I am not that tech savvy. But I really feel the iphone software is recognizing outlook express and not outlook... and that's why it synchs contacts to express and my calendars don't sync because express has no calendar... I would greatly appreciate and more thoughts you have on this problem....jojoanie

    If you are the original owner of the phone and know the Apple ID and password that were used to activate it originally, and if you have an existing backup to restore from, you can force it into recovery mode (which will completely erase it) and restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.  When you do you will encounter activation lock, and will have to provide the ID and password used to activate it originally in order to activate it again.  If you can't, you won't be able to activate and use it.

  • 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 iphone with outlook express

    How do I sync my iphone with outlook express?

    You don't. It is not a supported program for syncing with iTunes. iTunes supports syncing with Outlook and Windows Address book only on a PC.

  • Cant sync iPhone with outlook express

    Just got a new iPhone 4 running on iOS4.2.
    Went to set it up and sync with my outlook express contacts and it didnt work! It went through the syncing process as though nothing was wrong but when I went to my contacts they weren't there... No error messages came up! Please help?

    You need to be using Microsoft Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Outlook 2007 or Windows Address Book, not Outlook Express.

  • Syncing iPhone with Outlook and with Oracle Calendar

    Set up: Windows XP 2, Oracle Calendar Server, iPhone with 2.0.2 and iTunes 7.7.1.11. Outlook is the desktop client to Oracle Server. Others make appointments for me around my organization.
    I have had successful syncs but also failures in this environment, but after the latest releases of firmware and iTunes, it consistently stopped syncing.
    I think I have found an unsatisfactory work-around. If I go into the .com add-ins and disable the Oracle connector in Outlook, then I can get the iPhone to sync to Outlook. I then have to turn the connector on to interact with the server. Manageable but not pleasant.
    Is there a better solution?

    Originally all of Apple products were intended for use with Mac computers. Macs have default program - iCal to sync calendars. Windows default program is ironically Microsoft Outlook. There couple more options in iTunes for
    calendar sync, but those need to be chosen and not default.
    In your particular situation since you don't have outlook anymore, you don't need to make any changes. No outlook - no sync. Apple way - no user interference nessesary.
    Please do remember that everyting I write is just my opinion, nothing more or less.

  • Syncing iPhone With Outlook Calendar

    Hello all,
    I've been using my iPhone 4 (latest firmware - 4.3.3) and syncing contacts, calendars & notes with Outlook 2003 in Windows Vista for some time now & all has worked fine. I also Outlook to access my Hotmail e-mail.
    I've recently re-installed with Windows 7 (32bit) and upgraded Office to 2010 as well. I'm again using Outlook to access Hotmail. With the latest version of the Outlook Connector, it now also accesses my Hotmail contacts in Outlook, which it didn't do before & defaults to using my Hotmail calendar rather than the local one in Outlook alone.
    After some tidying up, I've sorted all my contacts so that what's on Outlook (and synced to my iPhone) is the same as what's in Hotmail. This seems to be syncing back & forth quite happily between the phone & Outlook via iTunes.
    With the calendar, due to Outlook now using the Hotmail calendar, I've had to re-enter all my entries in "Adam's Calendar" (i.e. the Hotmail one) in Outlook, whereas before they were on the local calendar. Having done this, they sync across to Hotmail online and sync onto the iPhone. Entries made via Hotmail online also appear on Outlook and so sync to the phone.
    The problem comes the other way. If I make an entry in my calendar on the phone, it won't sync to Outlook. Likewise, if I use the phone to edit an entry that was synced over from Outlook then the changes don't sync back. The only calendar I have displayed on the iPhone from the available list is "Adam's Calendar". I've tried forcing iTunes to only sync that one by de-selecting "All calendars" and only selecting "Adam's calendar" from the available list (consisting of that entry and "Calendar"). So, there should be no reason for "Adam's Calendar" on the phone to be syncing to any other calendar on the computer. Still no joy...
    Anybody got any ideas why this isn't working and what might fix it??
    TIA,
    Adam.

    Folks, in case it helps anyone else, I've found a solution!
    Set up the iPhone to connect to the Exhange server for Hotmail, then sleect which (of e-mail, contacts & calendar) you want to connect to.
    Go into Settings-->Mail, Contacts, Calendars-->Add Account...
    Select a MS Exchange account
    Enter your details:
    Email: [email protected]
    Domain: [Leave blank]
    Username: [email protected]
    Password: password
    Click 'Next'
    A new field for 'Server' will appear. Enter m.hotmail.com
    Continue through and you will be able to set on/off your hotmail e-mail, contacts and/or calendar to connect to the phone. In my case, I just went with the calendar as I use mBoxMail for e-mail so it's all nicely structured in folders and figure it's easier (and won't eat my phone's bandwidth) to just sync my contacts to Outlook through a cable and Outlook then sync to Hotmail over my broadband connection.
    Now, any entry made on my phone flies through the airwaves to Hotmail and in turn up the broadband cable to Outlook. Likewise, any entry made in either of the other two makes the same journey.
    Hope that helps anyone else in a similar position.
    Adam.

  • Syncing problem with 3Gs, please help!

    I just bought the new iphone. I then sync'd my old phone one last time with iTunes 8, then plugged in the new phone assuming that the backed-up sync would carry to my new phone. It seems the new phone only sees a sync from a few months ago, so not all of my settings and texts and emails have carried over. Please help!

    Just did a full restore on my 3GS and when it restored it properly restored the latest/desired backup set of everything.

  • 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?

  • Best Way to Sync Iphone with Outlook - Parallels, Google Cal or Mobile Me?

    I just bought a macbook pro. I must sync with outlook because the software I use in my business syncs its calendar and contacts with outlook and then I sync my iphone to outlook. It seems there are three options. I am interested in feedback on these or if I am missing an option.
    Parallels 4.0 - This will apparently let me sync with Outlook. I have not tried it. But this would then require me to keep all my photos and music on the Windows partition, which I would prefer not to do.
    Google Calendar. I could sync my outlook with Google Calendar and then sync Google Calendar with ICal and then sync on Apple OS side. This seems clunky, but I get to keep my music and photos and whatnot on Apple OS side.
    Mobile ME. I think this is an option but I have not investigated it. I think I can sync with outlook and ICal kind of like google calendars but am not sure. Not that thrilled at spending 100.00 year for this service.
    Any input. Other options? Let me know.

    You can sync iTunes content with a single iTunes library. You can sync iTunes content and transfer photos with iTunes on your OS X side, and sync contacts and calendar events only direct with Outlook with iTunes on the Windows side. Your iPhone can have different sync preferences with iTunes on different computers, and in this case with iTunes on your OS X partition, and with iTunes on your Windows partition.

  • How do I sync iPhone with Outlook?

    Would like to be able to sync my new 4S (with iOS 7) with Outlook 2003 (contacts, calendars, memos, to do list, etc), which is on Windows XP.

    Hi sbprchr,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has information on how to sync and what you can sync with your iPhone using iTunes:

    Another alternative is iCloud, which you can learn about here:

  • Can't sync iphone with Outlook

    My previous setup was ical on my iphone and mac via icloud. Everything synced great. I have changed from ical to Outlook and and wondering how I can sync my calendar from my iphone to outlook via icloud. Furthermore, I would like to be able to create an outlook event within outlook and it auto sync on my iphone. Any suggestions?

    I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support on this exact issue. For me, sync to Outlook 2010 (32bit) worked fine in iTunes 9.2.1, and failed after I upgraded to 10. Apple support finally suggested getting Outlook x64. I'm running Windows 7 x64, but MS Office x86 (How Dell shipped it).
    So, before going down that path (which is a bit of major surgery on my PC) I decided to completely remove iTunes 10, and my 10 library from my machine (all my media and apps are shared on another home computer).
    I then installed iTunes 9.2.1 on the 'clean' machine, and I did a factory reset on my iPhone.
    Low and behold the sync of my contacts, calendar and notes works seamlessly now from 9.2.1. I have tested several appointments and contacts and it works without complaint.
    So... hate to tell you this but it looks like the issue is with iTunes 10.
    So, for now, I will use my 'work' PC to sync just the contacts, notes and calendar with Outlook 2010 (using iTunes 9.2.1). On my 'home' PC I will sync my media and apps with iTunes 10. I've tested this, and it works fine.
    Not an ideal solution, I'm lucky to have access to two machines. I'm convinced the problem is with iTunes 10. If you can, go back to iTunes 9.2.1 (there is a backup of you Library itl file you can use (the version 10 ITL won't work with 9.2.1)
    Apple needs to fix 10 ASAP.

  • Can' sync iphone with outlook 2007 contacts

    Not able to sync my iphone to outlook contacts.  Have followed the suggested method regarding the trust center add-ins.

    Is the iPhone syncing everything else in Outlook (calendar, notes)? Has it ever synced contacts? What happened that made you notice it wasn't syncing contacts?
    You can try by resetting the sync history in iTunes first.

  • Problem syncing with Outlook - Please help

    I have two Outlook profiles (mine and my wife's) on my computer. How can I make my iPhone sync with the correct one? Right now it will only pull my wife's contacts, when I want it to sync mine instead. Any assistance you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Mike

    I use both Outlook (on XP) and just got an iphone for my wife's Powerbook. In looking in outlook help one thought I had is are all user's (ie your wife) logged off of windows? In other words making your profile the only active choice when syncing? To take it a step further try rebooting and only logging in your profile. If this doesn't help try getting a hold of tech support with iphone.
    Best,
    Joseph
