itunes could not sync contacts / calendar to the iphone "---" because the sync server failed to sync the iphone
i have read just about every support entry to this so PLEASE don't respond unless you've read the scenario.
win8.1
itunes 11.4
iphone 4 (last of the os7.1.2) (os8 won't work on the 4)
outlook 2010 (up to date)
so until either thursday or friday, syncing via itunes has been great. then i start getting the error dialogue box. this is what i've done / tried:
changed the USB cable
reset sync history - (done all the various steps of reset / delete / restart / unplug etc.)
deleted backup
repaired all apple related programs in the control panel>programs and features
saved outlook contacts and calendar as a new .pst
created a new user
unchecked advance option in INFO in itunes (that whole scenario did nothing)
signed up with icloud and it worked BUT i LOATHE icloud (and all the hassles it presents) and the bottom line sync with itunes 'should' work.
i have checked all errors within contacts (none i only have 170)
uninstalled / reinstall of itunes
i have NOT done a restore of iphone. (last resort) and hoping that there would be a solution before going there.
so there you have it. any suggestions would be really appreciated.
iPhone 4, Windows 8, outlook 2010
