Why can't I get my contacts to sync with Outlook?

Every time I sync my phone (with iTunes) I get an error message that the Outlook sync client has stopped working. My Outlook freezes up and I have to restart it once sync is complete. And I can't get my contacts to sync with Outlook at all. Any ideas??

Can't get all contacts to sync with Outlook 2007,

I've been trying this for a year and I've had no success. This 8900 is my 4th Blackberry. While I've done backups with the others this is the first time I've tried to sync the info. When I first synced I thought everything was OK, but then I noticed a lot of the contacts didnt sync. A lot of iportant ones. I've tried everything and hit a wall. I've gone thru all the 395 contacts, deleted a bunch, fixed a bunch and made everything ready. I've talked to Microsoft, AT&T and the BB folks and still nothing. When I synced it to my PC, 179 of 395 synced and the Outlook folder size is 297kb. I just synced to my laptop and only 124 synced and the folder size is 120kb. I checked the options on the 8900 contact list and it shows my gmail address as the name of my Contact list. I've NEVER loaded my gmail info on this or any other BB. I checked my gmail and there are NO contacts listed. Never have been. I followed the instructions, went to Default Services and there is no Contacts option, only Calendar and Messaging which have my primary email ([email protected]) as the services. I have loaded info for the Netzero email, Roadrunner email and Blackberry email. Did load the Yahoo account name but never connected it. Just checked the service books and there is no gmail info. There'sno option to rename the contact list and I can't see if there are any subfolders under it. I HAVE TO GET ALL THIS INFO TO A PLACE WHERE I CAN ACCESS IT TO TRANSFER TO A NEW NON-BLACKBERRY PHONE. I've literally spent hours researching, talking on the phone and it is still not working. I lost 3 days on it this we3ek that I was supposed to be on the other coast of Florida visiting a High School beauty thats down for a week, a cousin that's fighting cancer and a musician friend. I worked on the highest problem parts of the Space Shuttle Boosters and worked thru some seemingly impossible problems. As a result I had a mental breakdown and now have to depend on othersm whicdh I never did before. Seems like everybody that could help or might have info isn't sharing. I CAN'T BE THE FIRST PERSON THAT'S HAD THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Lead, follow, or get out of the way!

I found out, that the problem what we have is our Public Folder Structure in the company. We have more as 40'000 public folders in this structure.
Now i find out that when i start my Outlook in a offline modus i can selct my special folder after i press the "Select Folder" button.
When i try the same thing in online modus the PC-Suite hangs...
The only combinations that i see is the Public Folder.
I try a test in the evening: I push the button "Select Folder" and have run my PC over the Night. On the next morning the Window was appear.
Also was is my problem the Public Folder Structure that the PC-Suite scans after i push the button "select Folder"

Why can't I get the average function work with empty cells?

Why can't I get the average function work with empty cells?

The thing that I am having a problem with is that I made a different form that calculates the average no matter how may of the cells have numbers or not and I didn't use an if function. I have tried with this other form and and it calulates as if all the cells where being used. I am using the [*] in both instances but it only works in the one I did earlier.

The last update turned on iCloud. How do I get my calendar to sync with outlook now?

The last update turned on iCloud. How do I get my calendar to sync with outlook now?

iCloud wasn't on, I accepted iTunes offer to upgrade to 6.1.1.
Next time I went to sync through iTunes, iCloud was on.
Your advice appears to have solved my problem...for now.
Thank you.
Historically, the upgrade to 6.0 lost all of my contacts.
A manual restore brought them back.
Tech support said "Oh, that happens sometimes, you have to back up before upgrades", fortunately I do.
Again, thank you for the help.

How do I get my Blackberry to Sync with Outlook and other apps on Mavericks?

With the removal of iSync, how do I get my Blackberry to sync with Microsoft Outlook 2011, and the other applications on Mac?

In most cases you would never need to do so in 2014.
It is a very old way of thinking that mobile devices should "sync" with a local computer any more.
All modern mobile devices should be communicating directly with a server to get email, calendar, contacts, and any other data. So, your desktop computers should get email, calendar, and contact information directly from the server, your laptops should get dta from the server, and any tablets, phones, or blackberrys should be getting data directly from the server just the same.

HT1688 I have a new iphone 5. I can not get my contact to sync with icloud on my iMac. I have an msn account for email.

I have an imac with OS X 10.8.2 and an iphone 5. i have AT&T service and msn email account. My contacts and calendar are not syncing with icloud! I have all the settings adjusted correctly and I can not figure out why it won't sync.

iPhones running iOS 6 require iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8 or later. You will have to upgrade OS X, then download the latest version of iTunes.
You can copy your iTunes library to the new machine either manually, or you can use the migration assistant built into OS X to transfer the entire account. Up to 5 computers can be activated using the same iTunes account.

Why can't I get my phone to sync to 2 different pc's

I have a work pc & a home pc (which I can't access) and I want to sync my phone to the work pc but it won't do it. Is there a reason for this?
thanks

iTunes is designed to sync devices to a single library. If you need to change computers you should move your library to the new computer. If you no longer have access to your original library then
see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
To answer the question from the title...
Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

Can't get PC Suite to sync with Outlook folders

When I try to set up PC Suite to sync with my Outlook contacts (in Personal Folders) by pressing "Select Folders" the application hangs - every time. I was using a 6230 - and now want to get my phone contacts onto a 6230i. Running XP SP2 and PC Suite 6.8.21 Tried it with Outlook running and not running. Only seems to work if you sync with the main Outlook contacts folder. Have worked around the issue by moving all my contacts to a temp folder, syncing the phone with the main folder, and then moving the contacts around, but it's not very elegant... Any ideas? Stephen

Can't get my N70 to sync with Outlook 2003

Hi I'm running Windows XP with SP2 on Dell D420 Laptop and the N70 is connected via USB. There's no problem there. I can't install application through this connection.
But when I run PC Suite(V6.83.14.1) Sync, I cannot edit the sync settings and nothing happens when I press sync button.
I really want to get my contacts from outlook on the the N70. I'm using the most recent pc suite version.
Any advice would be appreciated.

you can export outlook's contacts into vCard files. then copy them to the phone via PC Suite.

I cannot get my iphone to sync with outlook

My iphone 4 synced well with my previous laptop running Vista. I now have a computer running with Windows 8 but cannot get it to sync with iphone. It is backing up to icloud. successfully. Can anyone help as everything I have tried has failed?

How does iCloud have anything to do with this, you have 2 email accounts, neither of them an iCloud account?
If you want to get Gmail on your iPhone add it to your iPhone. Same goes for Outlook.
