I have 3000+ contacts in Outlook and I am trying to get them into new 16GB iphone and from there into new MACBOOK pro. It has been syncing via itunes for 90 mins already and doesn't show progress anywhere - surely that's not normal? can anyone help?
There is a chance there is a pop up window behind the iTunes window telling you that "X" percentage of contacts have changed and asking you to hit "ok". Steve
thanks Steve no pop up window sadly A friend just told me she also had difficulty with the first sync I am going to cancel it yet again and try just the calendar to see if sthg at least will sync Eve
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1323 A friend gave me this useful troubleshooting advice and I have disabled third-party add-ins and the calendar did sync HOORAY - now trying contacts...
IT WORKED! I disabled the 3rd party add-ins other than itunes... For Outlook 2007, follow these steps to disable third-party add-ins: Open Outlook 2007 From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center. Select Add-ins from the left column. Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and determine if anything is listed other than the "iTunes Outlook add-in." If so, continue on to disable those add-ins. In the Manage box, click COM Add-Ins, and then click Go. In the COM Add-Ins dialog, deselect the checkbox for each third-party add-in in this list. Click OK.
