Synchronise Blackberry Calendar to Windows (Vista) Calendar?

In the Blackberry Desktop manager - synchronisation setup I am not being offered Windows Calendar as an option. Why not and how can I rectify this?
All help most gratefully received.

Hi Xandrex
Many thanks. I suppose that as a specialist you must be right though I find it astonishing that Blackberry does't synch with Windows Calendar. Outlook is as I understand it replaced in Windows Vista by Windows Mail, Windows Contacts and Windows Calendar. As Blackberry does synch with Windows (Vista) Contacts then why not Windows Calendar - it doesn't make sense!
I'm a "Specialist I" ... that just means I talk a lot on this forum and half of my messages just say "tell me more about you and your blackberry"...
To stay focused on your topic : you will see there are always problems with new versions of Microsoft applications : Outlook 2007, Windows Vista Calendar, and event Windows Vista 64bits. I don't have any views at RIM's developers HQ, but I think most problems is because Microsoft tells people about the changes in their application too late. (= not soon enough) so that developpers (including the ones at RIM) can modify their applications.
The other reason is maybe RIM wants to spend more time for their corporate users (those who have a company IT that takes care of everything through BES, as opposed to commom people who will use BIS). Blackberries are mainly for a corporate use, and a corporate calendar is Outlook Calendar, not Windows Calendar.
That being said, Google developped a tool to sync between a Google Calendar and the Blackberry calendar, so if you manage to use a Google Calendar, you're in paradise. Maybe there is a tool to synchronize between a Google Calendar and the Windows Calendar (it's easy to do with webdav, but I don't know if it is prioritized by Microsoft developpers).
Conclusion is harsh : you are too much a pioneer, you should stick with things that work

  • Windows Vista Calendar and Itunes

    Does anyone know how to get I-Tunes to use Windows Vista Calendar. I-Tunes says there is "No supported calendar application can be found." Does anyone know how to get I-Tunes / IPhone to sync with the Windows Vista Calendar?

    Windows Mail is an email client only, which was a name change for Outlook Express with Vista. Windows Mail does not include a calendar.
    The iPhone supports syncing contacts and calendar events with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
    If you are able to sync Gmail calendar events with the calendar application included with Windows, you can access a Gmail account with the iPhone's Mail client as an Exchange account via ActiveSync, which provides for over the air syncing for Gmail online contacts and calendar events.

  • Calendar on Windows Vista on PC not supported by icloud

    I can't sync Windows Vista calendar with ipad2 because it's not supported by icloud.  Is there a workaround available or another calendar program I could install that will sync between the 2 devices.
    Thanks.

    You will need Outlook 2007 or 2010, it's part of MS Office

  • Windows (Vista) Calendar not supported for sync to iPhone?

    I am using Windows Vista Ultimate x64 and I have an iPhone 3g S 32GB and in iTunes with my iPhone selected and I am under the Info tab it will show and allow syncing contacts to Windows Contacts but the calendar section says no supported calendar can be found.
    Why will it sync to windows contacts but not windows calendar? Pretty stupid if you ask me. I do not plan to go out and spend $150 on Outlook 2007 or $100 a year for MobileMe just for this feature. This is just absolutely stupid that iTunes won't recognize Windows Calendar but it will recognize Windows Contacts, Windows Mail, and even syncing bookmarks from Internet Explorer.
    If it is supposed to recognize the calendar, maybe Apple broke something in iTunes 8.2? I tried an uninstall of iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Support that was suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 I followed all the information there it still doesn't let me sync with Windows Calendar.

    Unfortunately, you are out of luck. MobileMe can only sync calendars to Outlook. Maybe a future update will allow syncing to Windows Calendar but for now, there is no direct method of syncing.

  • N8 and Windows Vista calendar doesn't sync correct...

    For some strange reason I can't synch some 13 dates in the past from nokia N8-00 Anna linked by cable with windows vista's calendar anymore (32bit). I use latest nokia suite 3.3.86 and no update for phone or suite is available. All other information is well synchronized but when calendar is trying to synch then I get two error codes. Restart and repair of synch data has been done of course......
    Error code
    80043c93
    and
    80700004
    I reinstalled the Nokia suite and repaired synchronization. Now I don't know if my remaining calendar is in synchronization or if there are other dates missing....
    Can Nokia please help me to get it working again? What do the codes mean?
    Thanks a lot!

  • Possible to synchronyse Iphone calendar with Window Mail calendar ?

    I am using Windows Mail (default mail software delivered with Window Vista)on my computer and would like to synchronyse Window Mail calendar with my newly acquired Iphone 4. Unfortunately, calendar synchronisation settings proposed by Itunes don't seem to recognize Windows Mail (only Outlook proposed). Is it possible to perform such synchronization with Window Mail and if yes what is the process ?
    In addition, would Outlook Express be proposed in the synchronization settings if loaded on the computer ?
    Many thank in advance for your answers.

    No.
    Syncing calendar events is supported with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing contacts and notes.
    The iPhone does not sync with Outlook Express or with the Outlook email client. The iPhone supports syncing contacts with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP, or with the address book app used by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7.

  • Publish Windows Vista Calendar to ,Mac

    My Apple MacBook crashed and I got a PC Laptop (bad mistake but cheaper than Apple) running Vista Home Premium. I recreated my lost iCal to Windows Calendar. There is a Publish function in Windows Calendar but I can not get the right .Mac server address for publishing the Windows Calendar. I do not have iWeb which would make life easier. I tried uploading the Calendar to my iDisk but got the calendar.exe file rather than the calendar with data.
    How do I publish the Windows Calendar to my .Mac web pages?
