Re: Can't Sync Outlook Calendar and Contacts

Hi,
Did you try running scanpst to check the PST file? Are the Calendar and
Contacts folder the default for the Outlook profile?

Try creating another calendar and contacts folder and move the items to the
folders. Then sync and then move them back until you find the items that
won't sync.

Hi,
Try this:

1. Export the PST data.
2. Create a new PST.
3. Set the new PST as the default
4. Sync - you will see all the data removed from the device.
5. Import the PST data.
6. Sync.

All the data should be synchronized.

I have the same problem as Tom. None of me Calendar, Contacts or Tasks are
syncing. None. Not even one. AS sees the correct number of the items on my
PC (e.g. 0/50 contacts), but then immediately ticks them off as synced.
Nothing is transferred to the device.

I tried moving all my contacts to a different folder, then in the default
Contacts folder under my mailbox creting a new contact from scratch. It is
not transferred. I i create a contact on the device, during sync an empty
contact is created in Outlook. On the next sync another empty one is created
and so on. After 10 sync attempts, I end up with 10 empty contacts in
Outlook and the contacts in the Outlook are not transferred to the device.
Please help!

I am using Outlook 2003 SP2 with my mailbox on an Exchange 2003 server (and
NOT in a local PST file).
