Syncing iphone with windows 7 contacts - error message outlook.pst not foun

I have set set up ITunes to sync my Iphone GS with Windows Contacts. When I sync I get an error message :
The file c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\Outlook.pst could not be found
Sometimes the error message comes up 2 or 3 times.
Secondly, my Iphone is syncing with something because an old version of my windows address book is now on my iphone. Of course if I add a new contact to Windows Contacts, it does not appear on my iphone.
I dont have Outlook installed on my PC. It was removed, but I guess I do have an old outlook.pst file from my old times with Windows XP.
So how does Itunes manage the sync and how can I stop it syncing with my old address book and use Windows Contacts? I have tried resetting my sync history but it did not work.
I am running Windows7 (upgrade from Vista).

I am also having issues with syncing my Iphone 3GS with the latest version on Itunes. I have for a long while now been doing just great. My contacts, phone numbers, emails have all synced very nicely, no problems. As soon as I downloaded the new Itunes 9.1 I can no longer sync contacts, and calendars, as usual.
I tried several things that were suggested to me in the troubleshooting but nothing has helped. It usually tells me that my computer is not set up for syncing, and after arranging that it still doesn't work. As well, it says it cannot find the requested services.
Please help.
I am running windows 7, and have been for a while, it's not windows 7, it's the new Itunes upgrade.

  • Blackberry Desktop 6.1 won't work with Windows 7-Error message each time "Not responding"

    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the desktop software several time but it starts to open and then stops responding each time.  I haven't been able to sync my new 9810 Torch yet.  

    No, I was not able to solve the problem.
    Today I tried to running SFC /scanall to check and repair all system files, but the problem is not solved.
    I tried to install in a XP Virtual machine, hosted in another machine's Win7, and was able to run the DTM 3.1 without problems. But I need to run it on the XP on the poriginal machine ...
    As a last resource, I will reinstall XP, + ALL programs again, but that is too much work and trouble so I will keep looking fo simpler solutions for a while.
    If you find out any way out of this, please let me know.
    Does anybody from RIM reads this forum? I would surely like to get in touch with them before I get bored with this problem and get rid of the BB altogether and move to a more reliable provider.

    Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
    I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
    Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
    Have a nice day!

  • I deleted the backup on itunes, synced again and got the error message: itunes could not back up the iphone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iphone

    I am using iphone 3GS, after syncing for few times and got the errors. I deleted the backup from Edit-> Preferences-> Devices. Then I synced again,  there was an error message: itunes could not back up the iphone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iphone. What can I do? I have no backup anymore on ituens.

    I closed iTunes & manually deleted the file which was still stored locally even though it didn't display in Preferences.  I have vista so I went to
    C:\Users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync and deleted everything in the Backup folder (though I left the folder as is).  If you have a different OS search the apple website for the backup location.
    I reopened iTunes & Synced with out a problem.  I also got the update to install.
    Good luck.

  • Sync iCloud with windows contacts

    I am upgrading from MobileMe to iCloud in windows 7, w/ MobileMe I sync with my Windows contacts not with Outlook contacts (I can't stand bloated outlook app).  I don't see this option in iCloud - does this mean Apple is not supporting syncing iCloud with Windows Contacts?  If so I am very disappointed in Apple.
    thanks,
    dan

    You're correct, Outlook is the only supported client for Windows, and I agree with your assesment of Outlook. There is an usupported alternative in eMClient, which does look a lot like Outlook but is simpler and snappier.
    Setup is manual, mail is easy as are contacts and calendars, if you want to try it post back and I'll look for the server address information.

  • Syncing Iphone with windows 7 calandar

    I've tried MobileMe but did not purchase the subscription. Is there anyway to sync the Iphone 3GS with the calendar program for Windows 7. If not what other calendar program is compatible with Windows 7?

    http://www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/index.html#calendar.syncing-calendars
    In iTunes, use the iPhone preference panes to sync with iCal or Microsoft Entourage on a Mac, or Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC when you connect iPhone to your computer.

  • Trouble Syncing iPhone with Windows XP computer

    I have had my iPhone for over a month and today was the first time I had any trouble syncing it. The computer I sync it with is a Dell with Windows XP Professional as the OS. I have tried the steps suggested by Apple on the support site (Restart, re-install, reset, etc), as well as a few I found on the net, but have had no luck.
    It seems my computer is recognizing the iPhone as a camera(possibly the problem?) but iTunes does not see it.
    Anyone have any advice before I give a call to tech support?
    Thanks.

    If your computer is only seeing the iphone as a camera then the apple mobile device support driver is being blocked.
    What you might have to do is uninstall one more time, but in this order.
    open control panel > add/remove programs.
    uninstall the following items in this order.
    1. Apple Mobile Device Support
    2. Apple software update.
    3. itunes
    4. quicktime.
    Then download and install the latest itunes.
    If that does not resolve the issue, you may need to use msconfig to find out what is blocking the iphone driver.
    If you decide to use msconfig, this article from the apple support website will help out.

  • TS1424 Has anyone encountered trouble transferring rented films to their iPhone? I get error message "iTunes could not copy [film name]  to the iPhone because the file could not be written"

    I have dowloaded a film to rent. Downloads to iTunes without problem. However it does not transfer to my iPhone.
    At first it appeared on iTunes as though it should be on my phone (it definately wasn't).
    Apple Support sent me film to download again.
    Tried to transfer it again tonight and the error message I get is: "iTunes could not copy [film title]Spy to the iPhone because the file could not be written"
    Can anyone help ASAP

    Two possibilities come to mind.
    Check your source hard drive for errors, right-click on the drive holding the library, click Properties, tools, check for errors, scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors...
    Or...
    Repair Security Permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges.

  • Best way to go about syncing IPhone with Windows XP.

    Currently trying to get my mother setup with her Iphone and her computer. She is running Windows XP Professional.
    At the moment she has three seperate email addresses. A gmail email, internet provider email and a work email.
    Currently she uses Outlook Express 6 to manage her internet provider email but would prefer a client that can have multiple email accounts AND sync that information to the iphone as well as all the folders she has her emails in.
    Any recommendations on the easiest way to go about this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Joe.

    This forum is intended for questions about old, pre-PowerMac G3 hardware, and doesn't get much traffic. Hence it's not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the iPhone forum; you'll be more likely to get assistance there.
