iPhone Forums - View Single Post - iTunes Update = Outlook sync problem for iPhone

Well interestingly enough I got it resolved, but it was really quirky.

Before I did anything drastic I went to check Outlook to make sure that the box was checked for Outlook to be the default mail client. It was (I had checked several times, actually). Tried syncing again. No luck. It wouldn't delete anything, it just wouldn't sync from my PC to the phone.

Then I uninstalled iTunes. Rebooted the PC. Re-installed iTunes 7.3.1 (probably not the smartest thing to do...kids don't try this at home!) Tried syncing again. No luck. Then I opened Outlook. I get a box saying that Outlook is not my default mail client. What?! Now I'm utterly confused because I know it was set as such before. It asks if I want to set it as my default....I hit "yes" and now everything syncs great.

In the future I will be reluctant to install any iTunes updates just for "bug fixes."
