Q: iPhone sync using iTunes gets stuck at Calendar and Contacts
This used to work a little while ago, and I cannot pinpoint when it stopped working - I can't
sync Contacts or Calendars to my iPhone 5s from my Outlook 2010 via iTunes.
I think it might have been the latest iOS release on the phone that messed things up, but I am
not sure.
Whenever I try to sync iTunes hangs at 'Syncing Calendars' or at 'Syncing Contacts' depending on
which one I choose to sync. If i uncheck both options, under 'Info' in iTunes, the syncing will
complete without issues, but I really need my Calendar entries and Contacts ESPECIALLY.
Here is what I tried:
- Repaired, Removed reinstalled Outlook 2010
- Repaired, removed reinstalled iTunes (12.0.1.26)
- Tried to sync with a different User's profile for Outlook, a version that had all of my
Contacts and Calendar entries, and also a clean version with no Calendar entries.
- Reset Sync History on iTunes
- Deleted old backups and retried the syncing...
NONE of the above allowed me to successfully sync Outlook Calendars and Contacts with my iPhone
PC - Windows 7, i5-2400 @ 3.10, 16 GB DDR3
