gSyncit toolbar missing in Outlook and/or sync not working.

SUMMARY

If the gSyncit Toolbar does not appear on the Outlook toolbar/ribbon tab then the sync will not work. You will also observe that syncing using the gSyncit system tray does work. The root issue is typically going to be that the gSyncit Outlook add-in is not enabled in Outlook.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure you have the correct 32/64 bit version of gSyncit installed. If you are usign the 64-bit version of Outlook then you must have the 64-bit version of gSyncit installed. If you have the 32-bit version of Outlook instlled then you can only have the 32-bit version of gSyncit installed. Using the wrong bit version of gSyncit will prevent gSyncit from loading into Outlook.
