This software gets added to Outlook EVERY TIME Itunes is run, even if it is
deleted. Find it in Tools - Options - Other - Advanced Options - Com
Addins. It is designed to sync calendars between Outlook and Apple
products.

Searching Google provides many examples of Outlook probems caussed by the
Itunes Outlook Addin (Outlook won't shut down; Outlook remains in task
manager processes; disruption of Outlook Calendar).

Until Microsoft provides a software fix (ideally, an option to lock out com
addins), be prepared to manually delete this program EVERY TIME you use the
Itunes software.

The latest versions of that software should be OK, those after the beginning
of this year. I worked with Apple to fix their Outlook problems.

If you disable the addin it will not re-enable itself. I have it on a few
machines here for testing and it hasn't been re-enabled on any of them after
I disabled it.

OK. If you start itunes with itunes.exe (need to create your own shortcut
icon), then the add-in won't appear in Outlook

However, if you click on the itunes icon put on the desktop, you get a
windows installer program and that absolutly puts the program back into
Outlook and, in my case, stops Outlook from closing.

Also, deleting or renaming the itunes addin dll file doesn't work; the file
just comes back.

Any thoughts about how to kill the add in completely.

Don't uninstall it, just disable it. As long as you don't try to set up a
calendar synch connection or delete an existing one on the iTunes side of
things it won't get re-enabled. You can uncheck it in the COM Add-Ins dialog
to disable it.

That will set the LoadBehavior value in the registry to 2 from 3 (start with
Outlook). If you set that value in the registry to 0 it won't even show up
in the COM Add-Ins dialog.

Do this with Outlook shut down.

To set LoadBehavior type "regedit" in the Start, Run dialog, then press
Enter.

Navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outloo k\Addins\iTunesAddIn.CalendarHelper.

In the right-hand pane select LoadBehavior and right-click on it and select
Modify. Set LoadBehavior to 0. OK the change and close the registry editor.

I usually start the iTunes software when I'm testing with it by plugging the
iPod into a USB port.

I'm not sure that I understand what this guy is saying.

I wasn't aware of this add-in until I saw this thread. It is indeed an add-in in
Outlook, but OL (2003) doesn't appear to be running abnormally.

What can I do with this add-in? My wife uses my PC for iTunes and her iPod
mainly because hers has problems seeing the iPod. Hardware issues, I think,
which we will resolve with a new PC.

If I uncheck the addin under the com addin menu will it stay unchecked?

Finally, what does "COM" stand for?

Thanks

What I'm saying is if you use it use the latest version.

You can disable it and it will stay unchecked if you don't set the iTunes
software to synch your Outlook calendar. That's what the addin does.

COM stands for Component Object Model, a type of Windows programming.

OK, thanks for that.

It synchs with an iPod or iPhone.

I also have a problem with the plug in in my outlook 2003 with newest
itunes 7.x

I have to disable the com-add-in otherwise outlook won't close. But without
the plug-in the ipod calendar and contacts are not synced.

As far as i understand what Ken wrote the registry hack only changes the
way this add-in is loaded or not or even hidden and does not show up at
all.

Does anybody have an idea how to keep the itunes add-in enabled and close
outlook?

Just an idea (not tested): If i write two .reg files one with the
LoadBehavior 3 and one with the LoadBehavior 2. So if i have to close my
outlook i just click the .reg to disable the add-in. Would that work as
long as the plug-in itself is not working correctly?

The load behavior controls it at 'load time' - so as long as you want to
toggle the addin off and on for syncing, it will help the times you don't
need to sync. But - I'd probably just use knockout and wait a few minutes
for outlook to check the pst when it restarts (and avoid closing it at all -
it's open if the computer is running).

Is itunes the only addin?
