Many, many thanks for these direct links. I had gone to Google several time to down load iTunes and the first search was to apple.com. So I went there and the Apple link to download to PC gave me a the following banner that said go to Microsoft Store.
Download the latest version from the Microsoft Store.

Anyway I used your direct link and have the setup .exe. Thanks again.

Update 7:15am ET: Apparently this bug is not limited to the Microsoft Store version, it also affects the standalone 12.12.06 .exe installer.

Update 11:35am ET: Over on Stack Exchange some users have confirmed that the iTunes update will install if the host system is set to English (US):

Windows 11 Pro version 22H2 build 22621.1485 + Microsoft 365 + Edge

I have the original iTunes downloaded from the link you gave me some time ago. I just opened that and it gave me an update available box so I just installed from that and seemed to work fine. I only use the iTunes to create a phone backup as the time or 2 I used it to update the cell it took hours. Now I just go ahead and do the IOS 14.8 with the phone connected to WIFI and it only takes 30 or so minutes.

Does this version kill the sync of Contacts and Calendars? If not, is there any good reason to update? I do not want to lose my sync.

Aren’t you thinking of iCloud, rather than iTunes?

I am not. It was announced this feature to be deprecated in iTunes. One example:

https://www.akruto.com/support-for-syncing-contacts-and-calendar-deprecated-itunes/

I do not and choose not to use iCloud. And iTunes has worked so well at this since my first iPhone.

Another:

Many if you search for this. And I’d prefer to keep the current iTunes and not update unless forced to for a good reason.

Sorry, I had not realised that iTunes offered (past tense) this facility.

The deprecated syncing is with outlook.
I don’t use Office / outlook.
You can still sync contacts and calendar with iCloud.

Sorry I forgot to mention Outlook.

I don’t use iCloud. Hopefully I can stick with the current version of iTunes I use.

That’s nice but since that is just an automatic download link for that specific version what about the next version out? Will your link then offer the next version? The link above is Access Denied link.

What has iTunes to do with killing syncing contacts and calendar with outlook ?

You are probably confusing iTunes with iCloud.

I am not. iTunes during sync syncs contacts and calendar with Microsoft Desktop Outlook and has for years. I am not confused.

Several months ago they said it will be deprecated. When the version that removes that feature comes along, I will no longer update iTunes.

For just ONE discussion of this:

https://www.akruto.com/support-for-syncing-contacts-and-calendar-deprecated-itunes/

“Do you sync your iPhone or iPad contacts and calendar with iTunes? Are you concerned about getting the following message on iTunes? “Support for syncing contacts and calendars has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version of iTunes.””

Google is your friend:

https://www.google.com/search?q=itunes+deprecated+sync+to+outlook&client=firefox-b-1-e&sxsrf=ALiCzsZWWIdDMJFErQVWejUoo2fX-lQnSQ%3A1652973062677&ei=Bl6GYsv-KPWpptQPmO2B0AU&ved=0ahUKEwjLmeXB7Ov3AhX1lIkEHZh2AFoQ4dUDCA4&oq=itunes+deprecates+sync+to+outlook&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAxKBAhBGABKBAhGGABQAFgAYABoAHABeACAAQCIAQCSAQCYAQA&sclient=gws-wiz

NOW – is this the version that deprecates that feature?

Thanks.

@rebop2020 I’m guessing this version may be the one. I have a client complaining this week about his Outlook not syncing now through iTunes. Not sure of versions just yet as I plan on tackling it this weekend. I’m hoping uninstalling itunes and re-installing an older version will get him back. Really don’t want to have to restore an old image and backups.

I wonder though if maybe a software update on his phone may have caused or contributed to the issue.

Likely it is this version and little else.  No phone changes have ever affected this feature for me.

This is not unexpected, just when.

Make sure to save all the little configurations if you uninstall and revert to a previous version. Not sure if iTunes cleans those on an uninstall or not.

I don’t use Office/Outlook and never let Microsoft near my Apple devices so I wasn’t aware people use iTunes to sync Outlook installed on iPhones/iPads with desktop Outlook.

I don’t have an iphone or itunes to experiment with but on a lark I downloaded the free trial of Akruto mentioned above by @rebop2020 and set it up on Win 11 and synced my de-googled android with outlook. It worked well and fast. Not sure if it is a good long-term solution as I have seen a few complaining that their support is really slow and almost non-existent lately. In my reading I see people complaining about icloud and it appears it is only a 2-way sync whereas my client used itunes to overwrite the phone with Outlook info. Bah Humbug!

So, is this the version? Would love to know.

If so, just stay with 12.11.3.17

Apple downloads seems to stop at 12.10

https://support.apple.com/en_GB/downloads/itunes

It seems to be around on other sites. I personally have not tested anything after that.

@rebop2020 I will jump into his machine at the end of his workday today to check versions. Won’t be doing any mitigation steps until the weekend. Will let you know. Thanks for your info in this thread. Put me on the right track. Very timely!

Well just jumped in and checked and he’s on 12.12.3.5 which was updated in March. He’s not sure how long it has been failing sync. He just noticed it this week. One other thing he noted was when he set iTunes to have Outlook overwrite the phone it never “stuck”. It also hasn’t been launching on plugging in his phone which it used to do.

A shame he has no more detail. I belive the open on plug in may have stopped a while ago. I do all my iTunes syncs wirelessly, so it never bothered me.

Perhaps the March version was the one that killed Outlook syncing.

From what I have read on apple forums the sync is supposed to still be working with 12.12.3.5. IDK. May try to update or repair his 2016 Office which is build 15128.20224. Pain doing this remotely because I need him there with his phone for testing. Oh well, it shall be a learning experience for us both 🙂

In my experience, I would doubt it is office.

Seems you are indeed correct. Peple report 12.12.3 as still working. I cannot recall why I stopped udating after 12.11. Might have to look at the changelogs.

And makes your clients issue even harder to pinpoint.

Well I think I see the issue. At some point he installed the itunes store app and the standalone program looks to have been removed. Also, even though I disabled auto updates in preferences it just updated to 12.12.4.1 Oh man this is gonna be fun!

Bingo. And that is why I stopped. Thanks for reminding me.

Well just got the OK to go scorched earth this weekend and uninstall and delete everything itunes related and install the older standalone program. Just trying to decide if I should use the older 12.9 he had before or the 12.10 that’s available for download.

Wish me luck gang! BTW just finished a drive image so if it goes sideways I can recover.

Well this hasn’t been fun. Uninstalled the windows app of itunes and installed 12.10 version. It doesn’t recognize Outlook 2016 for contacts or calendar sync 🙁 Just did a repair install of Office hoping it helps. Hard part is not having him there to plug in phone to check as I play with it.

Never Say Never

Reply | Quote

I wonder why it does not see Office. I’m sure you checked all the settings relating what is or is not synced.

Some interesting things (maybe):

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/outlook-contacts-not-syncing-with-itunesone/ad09a309-e6da-4ebf-9fcf-f45f549a4938

Check to see which account in Outlook 2016 is designated as the default account. Apparently, iTunes only looks for Contacts that are in the DEFAULT Outlook account. When I set up my new CPU, I didn’t pay attention to which was the default account when I put in the Yahoo and Outlook.com accounts into Outlook 2016 on my CPU. The default account was NOT the account with the contacts in it. I recently noticed this discrepancy and I changed the default account to the local *.pst account. The next time I opened iTunes, my various Contact folders appeared under SETTINGS/ INFO / Selected Groups. When I synced, the contacts were copied without any problems to my iPhone.

I’ll assume you know all of this:

https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/357421/itunes-sync-calendars-does-not-show-outlook

Good luck. This SHOULD work.

Does anyone know if v12.12.6.1 still syncs iphone contacts and calendars with microsoft outlook desktop? I am on v12.12.4.1 and it is syncing fine but I am afraid to upgrade without knowing if the latest version still works.

If your version works fine, don’t upgrade. 🙂
Make sure you have a good backup and up to date AV instead.

That is my plan Paul, to stay with 12.12.4 until I hear that 12.12.6 or later still syncs with outlook.

For the benefit of others here having syncing problems, I went for months this summer on an earlier version not being able to use itunes to sync my iphone with outlook. I tried every tip I could find including removing every account from outlook except for my contacts and calendar. After searching the internet for many hours on this topic I found a forum thread in which people were saying that corrupted calendar events were the cause. To make a long story short, the problem was one corrupted calendar event I had that was a repeating event every third wednesday of the month. After removing it from both my iphone and outlook calendars they both started syncing again. The problem was the iphone. This event was created in outlook and the iphone did not like it. A second tier support person at apple told me that a corrupted calendar event can stop the whole sync process and not just that one event from syncing.  I recreated the event on the iphone and it synced back with outlook.

Hope this is of help to others,

Ted

Which is the latest version that syncs? I am still on 12.11.3. Is there ANY reason to update?

Reply | Quote

I took the plunge and updated itunes to 12.12.6. It stills sinks contacts and calendars with my Outlook 2010.  I did have it stop syncing on me once again but after deleting my future Outlook calendar events the phone started syncing again. I saved the events that I deleted first just in case that didn’t solve the problem. I am convinced that all the unsolved problems with the iphone syncing through itunes that you read about on internet searches is due to an event that gets changed in Outlook somehow and the iphone cannot handle it so stops syncing altogether. The iphone is pretty finicky. I have synced my contacts and calendar events with my blackberry and outlook for decades without a problem. Unfortunately the Blackberry is no longer compatible with the new cellular network protocols otherwise I’d still be using it.
