Alternative "Cloud" for Contacts and Calendar Sync

After trying and giving up on Mobileme i am looking for an alternative to sync my OUTLOOK calendar and contacts between Home PC (Outlook 2003) Work PC (Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2007) and my Iphone, I really dont care how its done but i just want real time sync if possible (Paid or Free).
Thank you in advance for any help.

Mark,
If you have an Exchange Server you should use Active Sync, this gives you real time calendar, contacts and mail sync to your works mail server. You can then configure you home PC to connect to Exchange using Outlook Over Internet (OOI) access, this way everything syncs up to Exchange.
A common mis-understanding is that people assume your home PC has to be part of your work Domain for OOI to work, this is not true as long as you import the security certificate from the server.

Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing

Apple has posted a new technical note outlining procedures for dealing with contact and event synchronization anomalies when the following conditions apply, and a reset has not resolved the issues:
• your issue does not involve MobileMe
• you have already reset MobileMe
• you've already performed the Reset Sync History procedure
Recommendations are categorized by their relationship to calendar data and contacts, and links to each procedure can be found in the technical note.

These errors seem to be due to syncing via iCloud and iTunes Apple advises to use one or the other, see reference link: If you see duplicate contacts after setting up iCloud Contacts - Apple Support.
Before correcting these duplication errors I highly recommend backing up your info. see reference link:
Archive or make copies of your iCloud data - Apple Support to backup your info. Make sure to backup iCal, Address Book, Mail, etc. before and after de-duplicating.

Contacts and calendar syncing independent of iCloud Drive?

I assume contacts and calendar syncing is independent of the use of iCloud Drive?
In other words: on iOS7 and older, you cannot use iCloud Drive but you can sync contacts and calender with iOS8 devices (and Yosemite). Correct?

Hey lexvo;
That is correct. For more information on iCloud Drive and iCloud Contacts, check out the following resources:

Why arent my contacts and calendar syncing

i just got a new macbook, i turn on icloud on all my devices but other then pictures, nothing is syncing onto the macbook.... what am i doing wrong, or not doing?

Are you using iCloud? If so, did you somehow log into www.icloud.com and accidently delete Contacts and/or Calendar entries? Or did you uncheck iCloud as a source for Contacts and Calendars in those applications? Maybe only 'On My Mac' is selected in those apps and that is empty for Contacts and Calendars.

Contact and Calendar sync problems on iPhone and iPad

Here is the deal. I have an iPhone and iPad. Everytime I sync one, then the other I get the message that the iPhone or iPad is sync'd with a different user. I am the only one on this PC and only one account. And the Contacts and Calendar are unchecked for sync every time. I have to manually check them. It is like my iPad and iPhone do not like to be sync'd to the same Apple account. I want information for contacts and calendar to be the same on both. Advice????

Synced with a different user, or with a different iTunes library?
You are syncing contacts and calendar events with which supported address book and calendar app on your computer?
The iTunes account has nothing to do with syncing contacts and calendar events with a supported address book and calendar app on your computer, but it does have something to do with syncing iTunes content.

Does Office365 EWS provides Push Notification service for Contacts and Calendar Events?

Even though there are REST API's for performing PUSH and PULL operations for Office365(online), I am still looking the old EWS approach where in I want to subscribe for PUSH notification service for Contacts, Calendars and Mail Boxes.
Can any one suggest if there is a way to achieve this.

I posted an answer in your Stack Overflow post.

Looking for reliable sync for contacts and calendar

Does anyone know of a reliable app that will sync contacts and calendars between my droid and my pc? I use outlook (not exchange). I have no problems syncing gmail and webmail. I tried Missing Sync but it won't bring contacts from my phone to my pc and it really doesn't sync. It creates duplicates on my phone while bringing nothing to my pc.
The operative word here is reliable.

Hi. I have my Microsoft Outlook synced to my google calendar which syncs to my iCal on my MacBook which then syncs to my Droid! LOL, a lot of different calendars but I use my PC for some things and my Mac for other things but I want them all to work together and it does with the google calendar. You can go to google, read the calendar section and it's pretty easy to set up. I have bells and whistles going off for birthdays and appointments but I never miss an event.
Good luck!

Does iTunes 11.1 now sync with Outlook 2013 for Contacts and Calendar?

Previously I could sync and iPhone 4/4S with Outlook 2010 Contacts and Calendar but it stopped working when I moved to Outlook 2013.
Does anyone know if this has now been fixed with iTunes 11.1?
Thanks.

TS2776 Any ideas why my Outlook 2010 is syncing with iCloud for e-mail but not for contacts and calendars? I am not a novice user and have done all the obvious things. The situation is odd because the original calendars all came from Outlook in the first

I use iMac, iPad and iPhone but also an HP laptop. I have used Macs since 1986 so I am not a novice. I set up my iCloud account, moving from MobileMe recently and everything works fine on my Apple devices. The bizarre thing is I can see all my e-mail accounts via iCloud in Outlook but the contacts and calendars are not syncing in Outlook even though the original calendar material came from Outlook (the contacts data is all from the iMac). I've tried all the obvious things and read most of the articles on the Apple Support website. All the relevant boxes are checked on the iCloud dashboard on each device but I just wondered if I was missing something obvious. I'm sure some of you will have had the same expereince and solved it. Can you help me?
Thanks in anticipation!

Using Exchange and Sync for Contacts and Calendars etc.

I recently bought and iPhone 3Gs and I sync it through my microsoft exchange service. Then when I connected it to itunes I accidently synced the same contacts and calendar through it. It basically created a seperate contact list and calendar on the iphone. So my question is:
How do I delete the contacts and calendars on my iphone but not have it delete the contacts on my computer without resetting the iphone and loosing all my other files, music, pics, and data? I only want my exchange contacts and calendar on my iphone.
Thanks,

When you add an Exchange account and turn Calendar/Contact syncing, you are given the option of keeping the data currently on the phone, or deleting it. So, if you delete the Exchange account and re-add it, you should be able to choose the option to delete the content currently on the iPhone, leaving only the Exchange information.

How to do one way synch from PC to phone ONLY for contacts and Calendar

Does anyone know how you can synch only ONE WAY - from Outlook on PC to Iphone? I want no information to change in Outlook Calendar or Contacts. I don't want the phone to make any changes to Contacts or Calendar on PC. Thanks!

You've posted this in the *Mac OS X Technologies > iSync* forum.
iSync is a Mac-only application for syncing Contacts and Calendars from the Mac Address Book and iCal to mobile phones and PDAs.
It has nothing to do with the iPhone, Outlook or Windows PCs.
Try the *iPhone - Mail, Contacts and Calendars* forum here:

Unable to hotsync Centro with Palmdesktop for Contacts and Calendar items.

I cannot hotsync my Centro Contact and Calendar items with the Desktop for more than 3 months even with the help of the Palmone support team.
I tried many version of the Palmdesktop,v4.1.4,v4.14e,v6.2 with no avail. No help from DBfixit program. Only backup and Memo data can be transferred to the PC. The hotsync failed to finish the complete backup for unknown reason.
Can any expert user help? I must use the same User Name as I have a lot of third party program installed.

If you have Verizon, make sure Wireless Sync (on your device) is disabled.

Will local (cloudless) contacts and calendar sync be possible in future ?

Local adressbook and calendar synchronisation seems to be gone with OS X Mavericks. Is there any hope to get it back? Or are there other possibilities to synch without using iCloud?

my feedback on apples page. i can only encourage people who bother to do the same:
Hi dear
I would like to express how MUCH it annoys me, that synch by USB/WiFi isn't possible anymore under Mavericks.
You know, I really love Apple products. I think there are great. But sometimes your greatness becomes a weakness. When it goes too far pushing customers on what Apple thinks is necessary.
Guy honestly - my data are my data. I don't mistrust you. I don't mistrust anybody. I simply don't want to have my calendar, contacts or any other data in a cloud. Not iCloud nor Amazon nor anything.
Sure, I can rollback to mountain lion, use it together with my iPhone until it's not supported anymore and then change to a competitor.
I know - little threat for you. ;-) But it's not about that. It's about a sensitiv topic. There is a fair amount of people how doesn't like being patronized in such a way.
I hope it was underestimated how sensitiv many people about their data are and not just a strategical decision accepting that many don't like it. If latter is the case please let me know. Then I can act accordningly.
Much more I hope synchronizing of calendar and contacts inbetween iphone/itune with USB/WiFi will be possible again like it was.
I am looking forward to your feedback.

HT1692 I have zero contacts in icloud and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" make sure Contacts and Calendars are not selected. There is no box for contacts and calendars, just mail accounts and notes

my problem started when I tried to install latest operating system for my iphone 4 screen said verifying update for about 20 minutes, I got a text that i needed to reply to, then the whole thing locked up and forced me to restore phone. Icloud doesn't have my contacts(I thought that's what it does), I've tried to sync with my computer many times, the only time it said anything about contacts was "Can't sync contacts because they're disabled on Iphone). When I sync, I get old text messages, old photos, old voice memos, but no contacts.

Good evening from the Phils :)
That didn't work. I turned off the icloud for contacts already, so even the 5 network numbers are not on my phone anymore, which is okay. I tried the sync / replace info contacts on phone from itunes, no contacts still. At least, there were no other stuff lost. I might try the restore from backup next time.. But still hiping for something which would not involve doing the restore or any tools. Thanks! :)
