async 4 error syncing with outlook

It gives the error-
Activesync encountered a problem On the desktop
Support code - 85010014
it fails only while syncing contacts and calendar info
Any ideas?

Mine stopped syncing with Outlook three days ago, and I can't see why. I've changed nothing. I get two error messages. "Desktop cannot access the necesary information", and "Not able to log onto the network". Both tell me to restart the desktop, or to contact the network administrator (me).
Are you using Windows XP? I'm wondering if one of their recent software updates is responsible.

Do you have multiple e-mail clients installed?
i.e. eudora, or thunderbird? ...
All of them seem to modify/replace the mapi32.dll (do a google on it)
Even if you don't it's possible the outlook install got corrupted from another application.
Easy way to fix this problem is in outlook, go under HELP do a "detect and repair" (be sure to close any other email applications PRIOR to doing this)
I'm running WM2005 /w AS 4.0.
After you do that, reboot and see how activesync works for you.

I solved my ActiveSync problem with Error 85010014.
I also run Eudora and Incredimail Plugin for Outlook on both PCs, Work and Home. Both are on XP Pro SP2 and when I installed ActiveSync 4.1 on my work PC without issue, I decided to attack my Home PC Outlook installation to see if I could resolve the issue.
So, At home:
Putting Outlook in Offline mode did not solve the problem.
I uninstalled ActiveSync 4.0 and installed ActiveSync 4.1 - No difference.
I backed up Outlook via 3rd party program to grab account settings as well as my 2GB pst file then ran Help->Detect and Repair... - reboot, no difference.
I then ran Control Panel -> Add or remove Programs -> Office 2003 and chose to modify my installation by adding or removing components. I unchecked Outlook and updated it to remove Outlook from my Office 2003 suite. Then returned to this option and re-checked Outlook to add it back to my Office 2003 Suite, CD-Rom in hand but updating, it did not ask for the Office 2003 Install CD-Rom... - Rebooted and connected - Bingo NO 85010014 error!

Sorry to post on a site that I have no business being on.... but I just wanted to thank Foxnolds for his fix of error 85010014. It worked like a charm.
Thanks!

Outlook ActiveSync Error 85010014
Just wanted to thank Foxnolds, his solution has also worked for me. Maybe this should be broadcast across the net, as there are many others like me almost about to give up on syncing their Windows Mobile 5 device!
Thanks again....javascript:emoticon('')

HELP - Syncing qtek 9100 to Outlook 2003 SP2

I've searched and haven't found any help at all with this. I'm trying to sync my 9100 with outlook 2003 sp2 as indicated in the title. I can establish an activesync connection and sync notes and files as well as explore the device and install software, however whenever I try to add tasks, contacts or calendar to the sync options I begin to get an error.
Basically what happens is that it will save the settings and then I get an incomplete sync with an error code of: Support Code 85010014. I've searched the microsoft site and can't find this code anywhere. I've followed the activesync 4.0 troubleshooting guide, but since I am establishing a connection that doesn't seem to be the problem. I've been a PocketPC user since day one so I'm not new to any of this, but I'm really at my wits end with this issue. I've hard reset and reinstalled activesync more times than I care to count. I can also still sync with my old jam just fine. Any help would be appreciated. Are there any unique configuration issues for 5.0 devices relative to Outlook 2003? Does it not like running in cached mode? Thanks in advance for any help.

If you are trying to connect to your home machine try:
Delete Any Partnerships From Activesync & the Device
Uninstall Activesync
Uninstall (Not Repair) Outlook - you'll probably need your Office CD for this.
Reboot
Reinstall Outlook
Reinstall Activesync
Cross your fingers
This has seemed to work for some people but not everyone.
There is a known issue with folder redirection on corporate networks. The Activesync team is aware of this and an upcoming version of Activesync will address it. For the moment the the only workaround is to turn off folder redirection. Unless you are a sysadmin, this is not likely an option for you. If you are in this situation, then unfortuantely you'll have to sit tight - like me.
Hope this helps.

I also had to uninstall both the latest outlook junk update as well as the junk update from office sp2 to get as4 working properly.

Success. What worked was to delete my current Outlook profile and account and then set it up again. The first time I did it I didn't delete the outlook.ost file and the new account settings just referred back to that file and I had the same problem. The second time around I deleted that file, configured my outlook settings and got that working and then syncing started to work as well. It took a little time, but has been working well since then. Thanks for the help. It's really strange that my jam and ipaq continued to sync thru AS4.0 just fine, but the qtek wouldn't. Appears to be some weird combination of WM5.0 and AS4.0 that causes the problem.

Activesync and Outlook in Qtek S200-PROBLEM!!!

Hi everybody!
I have a problem with synchronizing my contacts, calendar, tasks etc. When I start Active sync, it synchronizes all the files (music, photos, etc) and programs but could not synchronize outlook!! I reinstalted several times Microsoft Outlook 2002 (which was on the getting started CD) but it doesn't help. When the synchronization is over, the following message appears, when I click on the Exchange message: "The server could not be reached.This can be caused by temporarly network conditions. Support code: 80072ee2"
On my PC, I use Outlook Express 6.0, maybe it's not compatibile with the MO 2002??
Also, I don't see any ikon of the MO 2002, I could not open it on my PC ( could not find it), but in the folder of Add/Delete programs is present (192 MB)!
The message on my device is: Exchange Server Synchronized: None.
I really don't have any idea what should I do to synchronize properly all the information.
Maybe someone of you had a similar problem and could share the experience.
I would be very grateful!!

Hi marbron!
First thing you need to do is sort out the Outlook installation on your PC. If you can not open it, it is not properly installed. Since you can't sync with express, you have to let Outlook 2002 replace it as your default mail program.
Second, when you created a partnership in ActiveSync, you must have chosen to sync with Exchange server directly (first V you get).
When device is not connected, go to File->Delete mobile device, then connect you device and create a new partnership. Make sure you uncheck 'Synchronize with Exchange server directly' on the first page.
Hope this helps.

I don't know why I still have problem with the Outlook. I delated the program and reinstaled it again, I delated the device on Active Sync and connected the device. The message was, that I could synchronize only files, music etc and not contacts, calendar, task because I don't have Outllook instaled...
During the set up wizard of Outllok there is a funny message, that the program will instal the following aplications: Microsoft Outlook 2002 and there is a red cross with (not available), but when I click:instal it does it properly only in one moment the system message appears: you don't have a disc inside, please insert disc (the disc is of course there!!). I have to click several times on continue and then the message disappears... Of course, again I can't find the program on my PC, only it appears on add/delate programs.
I really don't understand it. Maybe the version of Office that I have (Microsoft Office 2000 premium 9.0.2812) somehow creating a problem.... Or maybe the program on my official CD has problem (I don't think so, because Active Sync from the same CD is working ok)...
I really don't know what I should do.
Any ideas???? :idea:

So, any idea?? Could somebody suggest me what should I do???
Please!!!

Same problem
I am having the exact same problem. I tried various fixes but nothing worked. I can't sync my PDA at all now. It used to work ok but starting 10 days ago it simply stopped. The only think I did was using the Internet Connection Sharing applet. After using this applet - no sync at all. And the Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) in Windows XP displays a stupid message; see atachment.

marbron: It sounds to me like your CD may be damaged or dirty so some parts of it (namely the ones with Outlook) are not readable.
Try cleaning it and the drive.
In any case you should also delete the partnership from PPC side before establishing a new one.
Innovative: Internet sharing disables ActiveSync but should restore it when deactivated.
Did you try to reset your device? If you are using an unofficial ROM this may be a bug and you may have to hard reset.
Also how are you using WMDC under XP? It was my understanding that thing is for Vista only.
Any way, try AS 4.5 and see if that works better for you.

Attention Required on ActiveSync

I am running Windows XP SP2
ActiveSync 4.5
Windows Mobile 6
Office 2007
Was working just fine till all of a sudden, I cannot syn my 8125 anymore.
I get the message "Attention required" on the status. I have removed the partnership and added it again.
After waiting 30min. It had wiped out everything from my phone (still have it in outlook). Any suggestions?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's probably just the conflicts, and you can click on the "attention required" to see where the errors lie.
Use the Connection Settings to change any conflicts from your phone to your desktop. I use the change on desktop setting since I create notes and contacts only on the phone.
Make a backup before you do this however, wouldn't want to lose all your contacts on both.

Similar problem with HTC Wizard
Had a similar problem after creating a new relationship between my home desktop and my smartphone (actually an Orange SPV-M3000 runing WM5). The new relationship was occasioned by having to create a new relationship with a new work laptop, which apparently wiped out the previously existing relationship with the home desktop.
The "Attention Required" message apparently was due to Notes synchronization, however, clicking the link produced *no* further information, only a dialog with the text "Attention required" and an "OK" button. Messages on another forum suggested opening "Tools - Options", selecting the troubled relationship (in my case "Home Computer") and clicking Settings, where I changed the default from overwriting the Smartphone to overwriting the PC. This didn't immediately solve the problem, but I was then able to sync Tasks, CAlendar and Contacts by disabling Notes. It also doesn't appear to have cost me any information, at least a Contact which I added to my PC since the last sync with the Smartphone is still there. After everything in these categories was synchronized, I reenabled Notes, which then also managed to synchronize. I don't think I had added any new Notes lately, so I can't say whether this is dangerous or not. One annoying side effect is that all Notes now have Created and Modified reset to today.

HTC problem w/ ActiveSync to second computer

I cannot get my HTC to complete an ActiveSync with my second PC (a Laptop). After more than a week speaking with HTC and surfing for solutions, I can successfully sync with my PC#1 (Tower Computer) but can still not get a complete sync with the PC#2 (Laptop). I am only syncing Contacts, Calendar & Tasks. On the laptop, I can sync Calendar and Tasks, but Contacts has failed every time and with every attempted fix. I do have a large number of contacts (3925), but this syncs OK every time on my Tower PC. After a long period the sync process stops with the following error message:
“Desktop synchronization cannot be completed. Reduce your mailbox size by deleting some items and folders and try again. Support Code:85010017”
I think this odd in that I'm not trying to sync my mail folders
Following are my specs/setup:
Handheld Device:
- HTC HD (called Blackstone in US)
- Window Mobile 6.1
- ActiveSync 4.5.0 (build 5096)
PC1 (Tower):
- Asus P5N32-SLI Premium Motherboard
- Intel Core2 Duo 6600 2.4Ghz (Socket775)
- 4GB RAM (OCZ DDR2 800Mhz)
- Windows XP Professional SP3
PC2 (Laptop)
- Lenovo X60s (Type/Model: UK16DUK)
- Intel T2400 @ 1.83Ghz
- 80GB HD, 1GB Ram
- Windows XP Professional SP3:
I’ve tried all the obvious such as disabling AV and firewalls, deleting all contacts in Outlook and even recreating a new relationship between the HTC and Laptop. One additional note; on a few of the attempts it would end with the error above, but actually sync all of the contact multiple times (ie ending up with 7850, 11,775 or 15,700 contacts which are even multiples of the number I actually have. And yes I’ve ticked the box to “replace” not add in the Connection/USB setup page on device.
Thanks in advance for any help in resolving this problem.

try disabling tf3d (start/settings/personal/today/elements and untick tf3d) during sync

If your Syncing from outlook, the message is Right. Contact in outlook are part of your mailbox.
Here is somthing you could try.
Make a subfolder under contacts and put copy a few contacts in it.
Now configure active sync to sync only the contacts subfolder under contacts.
See if that works.
Or you can move most of your contacts to that subfolder en do a sync without ajusting activesync settings. That way there is less data to sync initially. If this goes well move some more contacts from the subfolder to the contacts folder.
Once all the contacts are synced you shouldn't have the problem anymore.

Bbonzz & Stief, thank you both for the replies. Bbonzz, I just tried the your idea of unticking tf3d but no joy. Stief, your idea of chopping the amounts up into smaller chunks may work as a one-off, but I’d have to redo this sequence at later points as (no offense to any MS employees on this forum), I would never trust a MS application with all my personal and business information; so the “real” repository for this data will always be my CardScan software for which I will infrequently make new transfers into Outlook and thus would have to do this “workaround" many times
One other item that may help troubleshoot is that after an Activesync with the offending second computer (laptop) it has sometimes loaded many blank contacts into Outlook and even after stopping and unplugging the cable Outlook has continued to add more.
It is actually doing this right now and is up to 301 blank contacts for which I’ll wait till it stops and delete them all.
... open for other fixes if anyone has any ideas

maybe is stupid as idea (it did the trick for me in the past when i had Palm), but worth try since you've nothing to lose
your 2 pc's have the same contacts database? I mean, if you delete everithing on laptop you don't lose anyting, right? If so, you could try to delete the contacts database on laptop, bacup the tower in a .pst, import in laptop. In this way you'll have the same image on both pc's, and all the contacts will have the same ID. So Activesync should simply verify that there's nothing new on laptop side, and finish the sinc. And since it's only the first sync that scans the entire database and compares with the entire database on handheld, next time you shouldn't have problems anymore

I've the same problem here

Guys ....
I had exactly the same problem. The way I solved it was to sync first old phone (I have new NB and PPC ... so I needed to migrate all info from old/home PC and Hermes to NB and HD).
so the working process:
1] I synced HD with home PC
2] Sync Hermes with NB
3] Sync HD with NB
......
done
no more "mailbox size failure" appeard ....
/ said with other words .... the process recommended by Stief should work as well - or better ... just migrate all data to NB not using HD and than resync HD with laptop.

bbonzz, thanks again, I've tried this fix. I imported the PST file from computer #1 to computer #2. Then, did full full HTC sync with computer2. IT WORKED. However, when I then try to sync with computer #1, it's back to same problem.
As HTC wash their hands of any Activesync issues, we're on our own. I've found a prgramm called XTNDConnect. Does anyone know if this could replace acctivesync?

i think it is an activesync / wm6 bug, and not a bug of the blackstone.
I had the same behaviour with my mda3 (blue angel)

The last solution i can think of, is a "partial" sync. It's a pain in the a**, since you have to sync back and forth, but could work.
What i mean is:
1. you have your .pst backup. Now delete everything everywhere but contacts, say, # to C, sync with your HD and sync with the other PC: since there are few contacts, you should sync without problems.
2. Now import in pc #1 or pc#2, where you want, the .pst backup (with the filter "do not import duplicates, of course), and delete everything but contacts from # to F and sync again with both PC's. Since #-C are already synced, you shouldn't have problem, because this time should be imported only contacts D-F
3. Go on this way since all contacts have been synced.
If this one too fails, i surrender
