Why does iTunes 12.1 does not sync new calendar appointments with Outlook 2013?

Yes, if you read the iTunes page, it says that it no longer supports a 32-bit version of iTunes, period. You have to access the download for older video cards that turingtest2 linked from this address here. Apple - Support - Downloads

For reasons unknown Apple have a new page for that version with the 12.2 release. 😕

iTunes 12.2 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards)

turingtest2 could you check the Water Cooler for a question, please.

Sure. 🙂

"Yes, if you read the iTunes page, it says that it no longer supports a 32-bit version of iTunes, period."

The text on the download page is ambiguous / open to misinterpretation. There is a 32-bit version of 12.2 (I'm running it on a Win7/32 desktop and a Win8.1/32 tablet), but neither download page currently state "32-bit". When you access http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ from a 32-bit system it just says "iTunes 12.2 for Windows 7 or later", and the Software requirements list says "64-bit editions of Windows 7 and Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer" which would only be relevant if someone happened to end up here from a 64-bit system (which ISTR can happen with some browsers).

Why the heck the 32-bit page can't actually say "iTunes 12.2 for Windows 7 or later, 32-bit" is totally beyond me.

Thanks! Have downloaded. Will do a complete uninstall per your referenced tech links earlier and try again.

Update: Didn't work. Am going to evaluate 3rd party software product that bypasses itunes and icloud and synchs iphone directly to outlook. Will use itunes for backups and that product for synching outlook if satisfied with 7-day trial. I read all their tech info and sent their support 3 questions answered within an hour. I just can't afford any more time trying to get add-ins to install from itunes to outlook. There' just nothing left to try unless Apple wants to come try it themselves in person.

Thanks to everyone for their different hints and helps and efforts. It is deeply appreciated.

I'm going to try upgrading to 12.2.2 this weekend. Just wondering if you had tried it? Hoping it allows for syncing contacts, calendar and notes in outlook 2013.

Just spoke with support and the problem is not fixed yet. They say it will be in the next release.

Save yourself the time and frustration by investing in third party software. You have a few good choices (I recommend going with one that's not free) and one is bound to meet your requirements. When I add up the time I spend trying to fix iTunes sync issues, it cost much more than buying software. The reason I say not to use the free ones is because a couple of them made things worse.

Here's a list of Outlook sync features to think about as you decide which one is for you.
