iPhone sync problems "iPhone disconnected"?

[petroid]

When trying to sync the iPhone with outlook, my iTunes version throws up an error message about " not being able to sync because the iPhone is not connected anymore". The phone however is connected. I have the latest version of iTunes 7.3.1.

Does anyone have the same problem?

Thanks

Since then I have tried a few more things such as disabling Norton without results, uninstall and install iTunes without results and resetting the iPhone without results.

Itunes recognizes my iphone, then halfway through the sync process it freezes. I need to restart Itunes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, yet get the same sync problem. I am using XP pro.

I am in the same boat. Everything syncs just fine until it gets to Outlook calender and then it stops and says Iphone not connected. I have to click OK or cancel. My contacts and everything else syncs just fine.

I was having the same problem with itunes claiming that the iphone has disconnected during the outlook calender sync. It is now working fine, and I'm not sure which thing I did to fix it, but here is what I did.

1) I had about a dozen appointments which were set to reoccur forever. I changed these to reoccur a finite amount of times, I think I used 100 occurrences since these were yearly and I'll long be dead before the last occurrence.

2) I also had several appointments that were exact duplicates, same date, time, names. I think these were from prior years palm pilot sync issues. I deleted all of the duplicates.

After making the above changes my iphone syncs fine with the outlook calender.

ymmv

I was about to go insane when trying to get my calendar to sync 3 duplicate entries for all of my calendar events were created. I searched on microsoft.com for removing duplicates and found this program. It is free and it worked PERFECTLY. Removes duplicate calendar, contacts, tasks, etc. You have to try it.

The iPhone sync utility can't handle Outlook calendar entries with blank "subject" lines. See one of my other posts for how to resolve this. (can't include a url because I'm typing this on a Treo )

I had this problem. Uninstalled/Reinstalled iTunes. Reset my iPhone (and lost all my settings).

Turns out it was an recurring outlook event that i accepted.

Deleted the series and calendars are working again.

Off to re-build my phone - ugh!
