Appointment missing on iphone, still in outlook

My afternoon appointment is not in my iphone anymore. It was before. It still is in my outlook exchange server and shows up in outlook. I can't seem to get it back into my iphone. My other two appointments this morning are in my iphone but the third is gone. I'm glad I noticed it myself.

This nonsense of having Calendar and Contact entries or edits made on the iPhone disappear a short time later rather than sync with MobileMe has been going on with my iPhone since I purchased it in October of 2008. I have spent literally hundreds of hours of my life trying to tech my way around this, including sync'ing through Google's exchange servers, resetting iCal, reinstalling my entire OS on the desktop Mac, trips to two Apple stores (the "geniuses" finally shrugged and said "We don't know!), having two different Apple techs via iChat (each session lasting upwards of several hours, and ongoing email correspondence lasting for, yes, MONTHS) setting up two dummy accounts and transferring all my data over, resetting the iPhone countless times and lots of other handy tips.
Apple continues to refuse to acknowledge the simple fact: The sync'ing of iCal and Address Book entries via is not reliable and cannot be depended on. There are glitches in their servers—not in your database, not in your iPhone, not in your username, not in anything. Apple MobileMe servers will intermittently and at random not only refuse to sync up data entered via 3G networks on an iPhone, they will delete the entries from the iPhone and leave no record.
I finally found the answer! When I'm on the road and set up an important appointment, or get a critical phone number, here's what I do:
1) I write it down on a piece of paper.
2) I carry the piece of paper in my pocket until I get back to my office.
3) Once at the office, I take out the paper.
4) I look at the paper and type what's on it into iCal, or Address Book.
5) After awhile, voila - the entries appear on my iPhone!
It's hard to put a price tag on this kind of time-saving feature.

  • Someone sent me a recurring calendar appointment to my IPhone 4.  I accepted it but now I would like to delete it since I am no longer attending.  The planner was sent from Outlook.  I cannot hit "edit" and "delete" on the IPhone.  How can I delete this?

    Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
    I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud  2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel.  I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version). 
    The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.”  After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
    Sound familiar?  Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue?  Thanks much in advance!

  • My iTunes account says that it cannot locate the original file for all of my songs.  My iPhone still has all the music and is able to play the songs, if I sync and backup my iphone will the songs be replaced with the empty copies from my itunes library?

    So basically I tried to back up my itunes library to my external hard drive and when I followed the instructions and then went to play a song it said Orginal file cannot be found. It said that for all of the songs. I'm not sure how to fix what I did, I already tried consolidating and all of that stuff and it didn't locate the files.  I'm guessing that I somehow deleted the original songs along the way.  I synced my iPhone without knowing what I did and surprisingly all of the music is still on my phone.  So now that I've completely screwed up my iTunes account, I need to know how to get all my music back onto my iTunes account and have that library only on my external hard drive, not my computer. Everything looks fine on my iTunes besides the fact that it cannot locate the files but what I'm afraid of is me syncing and backing up my iPhone and then being left with no music because it syncs to the empty songs.  How can I fix this? and if I can't fix my iTunes library is there anyway for me to still be able to backup my iphone and all the music on it, without erasing my music?

    Well I'm not sure if I correctly backed up my itunes library because when trying to open itunes from that back up it keeps saying original file not found. Okay this is going to sound confusing but bear with me.  I "backed up" my itunes, meaning I just dragged and dropped the iTunes folder into my external hardrive, and then I changed the destination on iTunes to open from my external hardrive.  It was working fine when I did that, however I did that just on my own, I didn't know about consolidating the files or any of that so I hadn't done that before copying the folder to my external hard drive. I can't remember but I'm pretty sure I deleted the iTunes folder after I had copied it to my external hardrive. So I did that and it was working fine, I was able to open my itunes with my external hardrive.  BUT yesterday I thought that I hadn't done it correctly because I didn't consolidate the files and all that, so I wanted to be more thorough and do that, I followed the steps to do that but when I did that I think it got all the files from my computer and not from my external hard drive so it basically didn't find anything on my computer because I had deleted them. And like an idiot, I replaced the iTunes folder on my external hard drive (the one I did correctly the first time), with the one I did wrong. So I believe I pretty much deleted all the music files from both my external hard drive and my computer. Please correct me if I'm wrong?
    I believe getting all my music back on my itunes is a lost cause. BUT I still have all my songs and stuff on my iPhone. My question is, if I plug my phone into my computer and sync it, will it erase all my songs from my phone? A little more info, my iTunes still has the names and stuff of all my songs, they just can't be played because the files are missing, my iPhone doesn't need to erase and sync when I plug in my phone because it's already synced to my computer. What I'm afraid of is when I plug in my phone to backup and sync, will it erase my music because it can't find the files on my computer or external hard drive anymore? Or will it just leave the songs because they're already there (on my phone) and only sync the new songs that I've downloaded? I just need to know is my iTunes still going to be functional as far as me being able to backup my phone?
    I have a lot of songs purchased from iTunes but a lot (like 60%) are from CDs that I no longer have. So re-downloading my music would only account for 40% of my library.

  • If my iPhone was stolen and i want to reactive an old phone using that same number for the time being while i waited to see if I could get my iPhone back, would the iPhone still work while i was using a re-activated old phone of mine?

    If my iPhone was stolen and i want to reactive an old phone using that same number for the time being while i waited to see if I could get my iPhone back, would the iPhone still work while i was using a re-activated old phone of mine?

    If a new SIM is activated on the same account for the same number, any existing SIMs for that number are deactivated.
    Why exactly would you care if the SIM in the missing device still works or not?

  • Why Can't I Delete or Edit a Calendar Appointment on My iPhone?

    Why are my only choices "Accept" "Maybe" "Decline" for all calendar appointments pushed in from my Outlook calendar? I only have the choice to "Edit" calendar appointments when I create the calendar appointment on my iPhone itself. For all pushed in calendar appoinments, I can only "Decline" the appointment and then recreate it on my iPhone to be able to change it. This is annoying because I don't want to have to go through my calendar and "Accept" or "Decline" all my appointments, especially since this emails me that I have accepted or declined!

    Wienderful,
    Make sure your email address on the iPhone and the Exchange server are the same. This article explains more:

  • Hi, From where can I download a copy of iTunes 10.7, so I can again sync my iPhone with Ms.Outlook?

    Hi,
    I did an "upgrade" to the obviously beta version of iTunes 11, which when attempting to sync an iPhone with Ms.Outlook, displays the message, "iTunes could not sync calendars ..."
    Only iTunes changed - nothing else, so it seems pretty obvious that the defect is in iTunes 11.
    I hope that returning to a fully functional version of iTunes (that is, 10.7) will restore sync capability.
    Does anyone know of a cache location or someone who could e-mail me a copy? 
    Thanks.

    I had the exact same thing.  Apple level 2 senior tech advisors and senior engineers apparently clueless about this. I spent over 7 hours last week with Apple tech support and they still have not gotten back to me with any info.  I generated and sent them all my logs, etc.  What a waste --  they should know about this. This is what I did, and it works:
    It works also in Windows XP (maybe also Vista and 7)
        1.Click on Start button.
        2.Type Cmd in the Start Search box.
        3. right-click cmd.exe, click Run as administrator, and then press Continue.
        4. Type netsh winsock reset and then press the Enter.
        5. Restart the computer.
    I can't take credit for the fix --- I found it by doing a Yahoo search and found this link

  • Sync iPhone 4 with Outlook 2010 via Windows 7

    Is there a fix for this problem?  I have the current updates of Outlook 2010, Windows 7, and iTunes for my iPhone 4.  I cannot sync my iPhone contacts with Outlook.  When I entered new contacts into Outlook, and sync with iPhone, the contact information does not sync.  When I had an earlier version of Outlook, the contact information was sync with my iPhone.  But now, it does not work.  I made an appointment with the Apple support technician and the technician tried to help but he could not resolve the problem.  As indicated by himself, the tech said he was their best tech, and he had not heard of this problem.  Instead, he recommended placing all my contact onto iCloud.  Again, is there a fix for this problem?

    Problems with a calendar sync in Outlook can generally be traced to a corrupt appointment at some time. It can happen from a shutdown in Outlook or any number of other reasons. If you can remember when the trouble began, see if you can locate an appointment on that day. You can also try and reset the sync history in iTunes, and can also run scanpst.exe and troubleshoot your Outlook file.
    I've used every version of Outlook since 2000 and have been able to trace this issue a couple of times to an appointment that has a recurring setting. You can change the view of your appointments and list them. When you do that, you may be able to locate an appointment that doesn't look right. I had to print out all of my appointments once and then reenter them. Luckily I didn't have that many, so it didn't matter. Again, this is usually something corrupt in the Outlook file that will make the problem appear, and since everything else in Outlook is syncing except the calendar, that is the place to look.
