Weird problem syncing iPhone 3G with Outlook. Stopped working?

Hi,
I really hope this isn't a repetitive question; I tried searching around the internet and either found no solution that worked, or problems similar but not quite the same as mine.
Anyhow, I just got an iPhone 3G last week and I'm running a PC with Outlook to sync my phone. The first few days all the syncs went 100%, updates calendar/contacts no problem. Then, this afternoon it stopped working. No matter what updates I make to my Outlook or my iPhone, nothing will sync. I plug in the iPhone and sync through iTunes, it says "syncing" but no longer goes into "syncing contacts" then "syncing calendar" etc. I even tried importing my IE bookmarks and got nothing. It almost seems like iTunes stopped "talking" to Outlook?
I've tried playing with the settings in the info tab of iTunes, I've played around in the trust center of Outlook, made new data files, etc and I just uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, all doing nothing.
Any idea?
Thanks,
John

After almost 1 week of sheer frustrations, I have been unable to connect my Iphone 3G to my exchange server at work.
I have tried probably every method discussed here, including restoring my iphone 3G several times. My issue has been elevated all the way up to apple engineering, and still no solution.
It appears that the issue is that I cannot connect because my company is using Exchange server 2003 with SP1.
I can connect any Windows Smartphone or Pocket PC and it will sync in what seems seconds….very fast. I have used windows phones connected to our server for more than 4 years, never an issue.
My company has the attitude of we “We don’t want you to connect, you are lucky to be able to use active sync on windows phones!!” So their change is not probable.
Has anyone found a way to connect Iphone 3G to an Exchange Server 2003, SP1?

  • Problem syncing Iphone 4 with Outlook 2010 Calendar and Contacts

    I am running Windows 7 with Office 2010 including Outlook 2010.
    When I received my Iphone 4 three weeks ago, syncing with Contacts and Calendars worked fine.
    After having updated OS on the phone and Itunes on the computer, I get the following error message:
    "Itunes kunne ikke indlæse dataklasseoplysninger fra Synkroniseringstjenester. Opret forbindelse igen eller prøv senere"
    The syncing of music and apps work perfectly.
    PLEASE HELP

    Still no help, no sulution to Apple iPhone sync problems with Calendar...? I wish someone from Apple, or someone with specific knowledge could help! Windows XP Professional, Outlook 2003 to iPhone 4S (2012) does not communicate any Calendar entries between the two machines.
    Strange thing is that it worked when iPhone was newly purchased for about a month, then stopped??
    Even stranger is that Contacts get synced just fine between the two machines?
    Anyone who could help, please post your comments in Apple Support Discussions

  • Sync iphone 3gs with outlook 2010. works while in the office but once leave the building i don't receive emails

    i get my e-mails on my iphone while in the office  but once i am out of the office i don't receive them.  any suggestsion?

    Talk to your IT department. It sounds like either you have the wrong server information (i.e. you have the server name/address that is valid internally, but not a publicly accessibly name/address) OR they do not have the proper ports open on the firewall for active sync to work when you are off the network. 
    I'm assuming you're using a company WiFi network while in the office. If you temporarily turn off WiFi in the office, so the phone reverts to 3G, you should be able to replicate the problem for them.

  • Can you Sync iPhone 5 with Outlook 2013

    Can you sync iPhone 5 with Outlook 2013? Everything mail, contacts and calender.

    Hey Mark
    I'm Michael and I work for connex.io.
    We were also constantly having problems with our address books, so we decided to build our own solution. connex.io is a service that syncs two-ways between all of your devices and services. It also de-duplicates, cleans completes and automatically updates your address books on all of those devices. So whenever you make a change on any of them, it automatically gets changed everywhere. So you only have to connect your address books once, and you will have your contacts always with you. No need to connect your device to your computer or sync manually.
    If you want to check it out: www.connex.io or you can send me an e-mail if you would like some more info: [email protected]
    I hope this helps you out.

  • How do I sync iphone 4 with outlook 2013 ?

    How do I sync iphone 4s with outlook 2013?

    Synchronization of calendars between Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and your Apple iPhone or iPod touch requires Apple iTunes. You can configure which items are synchronized during a one-time set up process. Good luck with your Mac!
    After the initial setup, each time that you connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer, the changes made on your computer or device are synchronized.
    Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer using the cable provided with your device or by placing the iPhone or iPod touch in the Apple Universal Dock.
    iTunes opens automatically when connected to your computer.
    In iTunes, in the source list, under Devices, click the entry for your iPhone or iPod touch.
    Click the Info tab.
    Under Calendars, click Sync calendars from, and then click Outlook.
    Do one of the following:
    To synchronize all calendars, click All calendars.
    To limit the calendars that are synchronized, click Selected calendars, and then click the calendars you want to synchronize.
    NOTE   To select multiple calendars, press CTRL as you click each calendar name.
    Click Apply.

  • How to Sync iPhone 4s with Outlook 2013 (64-bit)

    I used to sync my iPhone 4s with Outlook 2013 (32-bit) with no problems at all.  I have changed ove to the 64-bit Outlook for reasons I do not need to mention here.  I am now unable to set up to sync with Calendars, Notes and Tasks.
    When I setup to sync using iCloud Contro panel, the setup runsa dn advises that it HAS been set up innOutlook.  But in Outlook, there is no relevant tab or folder (as was the case in Outlook 2013 32-bit).
    The Outlook for iCloud add-in is present in Outlook and there are no error messages.
    I believe( from a Microsoft forum) that this may be because Microsoft moved the registry location of Outlook's mail profiles for Outlook 2013.  They used to be under HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Windows Messaging Subsystem/Profiles but now they're under HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Office/15.0/Outlook/Profiles. Apparently this is to provide the ability to have multiple versions of Outlook installed.  I suspect that the iCloud provider does not take this into consideration yet and that Apple will have to address it.
    Am I correct? or is there a way to get the sync to work?

    Yes, I removed iCloud add-on from Outlook; and uninstalled iCloud.  I then re-installed, and sync would not work (no tab for sync in Outlook either). There was no improvement.
    However, since reading your post, I have just tried signing out of icloud control panel and signing in again....and now all si working as it should.  Weird!!
    Thanks for your assistance.

  • Ovi and syncing with Outlook stopped working after...

    I recently upgraded to Ovi 2.2.1.23 and syncing of calendar and contacts stopped working.
    The reason seem to be that when I try to connect to Outlook from the sync menu, Ovi freezes.
    Everything was working fine before and I just upgraded Ovi, nothing else.
    Any idea what to do? Ive tried to uinstall and reinstall Ovi but no change.

    Gawd, how I love this Apple forum. At least microsoft has MVP's that come out and help others.
    I too have this problem and I have Gmail and all my notes in my Gmail (on iPhone or iTouch) are not synched only those on my iPhone or iTouch.
    The options i have for default account are:
    Accounts
    iPhone or iTouch
    Gmail
    I have notes in my Gmail. How do I get them to my iTunes?

  • Problems synching iphone 3gs with outlook 2010

    when I sync my Iphone 3GS with Outlook 2010 using ITunes, I am losing contacts?

    Yes I have a similar problem.
    I lost all my contacts (today 23rd Mat 2011) on my 3G iPhone and the Address Book on my Mac Pro also.
    The contacts in my MS Outlook were intact  I run Outlook:Mac 2011.
    They have only just fixed the issue with the Calendar in this version 2 weeks ago an MS issue.
    I plugged in the iPhone last night to charge and synch and this morming the phone had no contacts and I had lost all the address Book I had some  group headings  (greyed out)
    It's almost like a plot to get Outlook users frustrated and make them switch but, Outlook is too good.
    Outlook:mac 2011 contacts does not synch with Mac address book

  • Sync iPhone 4 with Outlook 2010 via Windows 7

    Is there a fix for this problem?  I have the current updates of Outlook 2010, Windows 7, and iTunes for my iPhone 4.  I cannot sync my iPhone contacts with Outlook.  When I entered new contacts into Outlook, and sync with iPhone, the contact information does not sync.  When I had an earlier version of Outlook, the contact information was sync with my iPhone.  But now, it does not work.  I made an appointment with the Apple support technician and the technician tried to help but he could not resolve the problem.  As indicated by himself, the tech said he was their best tech, and he had not heard of this problem.  Instead, he recommended placing all my contact onto iCloud.  Again, is there a fix for this problem?

    Problems with a calendar sync in Outlook can generally be traced to a corrupt appointment at some time. It can happen from a shutdown in Outlook or any number of other reasons. If you can remember when the trouble began, see if you can locate an appointment on that day. You can also try and reset the sync history in iTunes, and can also run scanpst.exe and troubleshoot your Outlook file.
    I've used every version of Outlook since 2000 and have been able to trace this issue a couple of times to an appointment that has a recurring setting. You can change the view of your appointments and list them. When you do that, you may be able to locate an appointment that doesn't look right. I had to print out all of my appointments once and then reenter them. Luckily I didn't have that many, so it didn't matter. Again, this is usually something corrupt in the Outlook file that will make the problem appear, and since everything else in Outlook is syncing except the calendar, that is the place to look.

  • Problems Syncing iPhone 4S with MS Outlook 2010 after years of no problems

    For several years, I have sync'ed my iPhone 4S regularly and flawlessly using itunes with my Windows 7 desktop that was running Outlook 2010.
    Last week, disaster struck and my hard drive failed and had to be replaced. Luckily, my backup drive had everything on it, so I replaced the failed drive, then copied my outlook.pst file back on the new drive, as well as all my iTunes songs. Outlook and Itunes were installed for a fresh start.
    Unfortunately, I tried to sync my iPhone with the "new" computer today, and the process seems to get stuck at the "Syncing contacts (Step 3 of 7)" during the syncing procedure. It has been at that phase in the process for over 3 hours? Will I hurt the files if I cancel the process?
    I there anyway to fix this? Syncing the iphone with outlook is an essential feature.
    Are there settings to start with a computer with a new hard disk, but all the old data?
    Please help!

    I have 3 iPhone 4's and I'm having this problem on all 3 of them.  We upgraded to iTunes 11.4.0.18 and we have Outlook 2010 and it just gets stuck on (Step 3 of 7) Syncing Contacts.  We left it running overnight and it was still stuck.  When this happens the progress bar keeps moving making you think it is working, but it is stuck.
    I wish someone from Apple would help.  We just ordered iPhone 6 phones and we need to backup so we can restore our old info.
