Sync iPhone to Windows Outlook 2007

When I enter new data on the iPhone, it no longer will sync with MS Outlook 2007. It was working and then stopped. The data from MS Outlook will sync to the iPhone just not the other way. I followed all of the steps suggested... removed itunes, removed other plug-ins, etc. and still have the same problem.

HELP

Windows PC, Windows XP Pro

At the top of itunes, click on edit and choose preferences.
When the preferences window opens up, click on the iphone icon on the right.
When the window changes, click on the reset sync history button near the bottom of the window.
Now click ok on the preferences window.

Now try syncing the iphone.

Hope this helps.

Unfortunately that does not work. I had already tried that, but did try once again and it still does not work. I added one entry to my iphone calendar, performed the steps in your note, synced and the entry still did not appear on my desktop Outlook 2007 Calendar. I even tried it with Outlook open and with it closed....

When you open iTunes, click the Info tab on the iPhone and scroll down to Advanced. Make sure that the Replace Information boxes are not checked. Also reset your sync history. If you make a change, you are usually prompted to select Merge or Replace. If you select Replace, then Outlook will overwrite everything on the iPhone. If you select Merge, then the last entered data will be added to the other device.

The instruction Jason gave me, below, solved a problem I had syncing my calendar with the iPhone. I am using Outlook 2007. You may want to give it a try. Good Luck.

Hey ePhone,

Try Resetting Sync History in iTunes, goto Edit>Prefrences>iPhone>Reset Sync History>Reset Sync History.
Goto the Info tab in iTunes> sync only calendars> advanced replace calendars on the iPhone, This will replace the calendars on the iPhone with calendars from the computer.

If the iPhone sync still gives the Mingling data error, make sure calendars in Outlook do not have blank titles as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306470
