Best phone for syncing with Office for Mac 2008?

I'll be getting a new phone in a few months and I want to get one that syncs perfectly and effortlessly with Office for Mac 2008.
I currently use a Motorola Q and a Macbook Pro and have to go through isyncing Office with the Mac versions (iCal and Address Book) and then syncing using Missing Sync. It works, but it's slow and not very elegant.
What's the smoothest solution?

Just be careful if you use categories in Entourage for your mail, calendar and contacts and determine whether those categories will move with your contacts and other data to the iPhone when it syncs. I doubt that it will if sync services works the same way between Entourage and iCal because it doesn't support the category capabilities in Entourage which is why people had turned to Missing Sync for the 2004 version of MS Office 2004

Blackberry sync with office for mac 2011

I just received this reply from Mac Topia forum: "For Office 2011 we’re using Apple’s standard sync protocol, Sync Services, to enable synchronization with a variety of devices and applications, and third-party vendors provide plug-ins to enable Sync Services for devices like the Blackberry"
Is there a plug in as they suggest above?

You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

IDfix Tool and Appropriate Changes for Syncing with Office 365.

1. Our on premise domain is .local - DirSync will require an Internet routable extension (.org in our case). If I change my address to .org, will that impact my ability to login to my domain? Is there a special process for this situation?
2. For the Distinguished Names that show up in the IDFix tool that have the wrong address in the "Value" column, can I simply change the address in the "Update" column to the correct one even if it means changing from .local to .org?
3. For user Distinguished Names that show up in the IDFix tool that do not have an email address (nor do I want them too) - How do I exclude them from the sync process, what changes (If any) should I be making to these users?
Thanks For All Your Help

Hi,
1. You have to add the UPN-Suffix on your on-premise Domain. After that, you can Change the UPN-Suffix for specific or all Users. Problems can occur, when Users using their UPN for Domain Login. Obviously they have to enter an the new UPN Suffix, but
there can be other side effects. I would recommend to test this very good.
2. I never used IDFix tool. I would using the GUI to add the UPN Suffix to the Domain. And changing the Suffix on the Users depends on the amount, but I would prefer to use Powershell.
3. You can configure Dirsync before the first sync is running. I have created a blog post about this Topic which might could help:

How do i sync iphone contacts with office for mac 2011?

how do I sync iphone contacts with office for mac 2011?

I manage all of my email in Outlook, delete email and trash it however the update isn't reflected in the Cloud and\or Apple email. I have to then open up Apple mail and delete again.
Then something is setup incorrectly, which version of OSX are you on, and is this an iCloud mail address (@mac, @me or @icloud)
From your description of the issue I suspect that it is Outlook that is incorrectly setup.

After updating to iCloud and setting up iCal sync the program deleted all my Outlook events and cleared them from my office's server. How do I now sync my still existing iCal events back to Outlook for syncing with my office.

How can I get my Outlook information that was moved to iCal back onto my Outlook calendar for syncing with my office's exchange service?

Problem solved I think. I exported my iCloud Calendar file in Outlook to Google Calendar which in turned re-populated my Outlook default calendar. This was picked up by the exchange and sent to all computers in the office.
I had hoped that iCloud, and its calendaring abilities, would remove my need for Google calendar to serve as an exchange between my iPad, iPhone and Outlook on PC (and with it connection to my staff). However, it seems that iCloud is simply not to that point yet. Hopefully Apple will begin to implement some of the processes Google Sync utilizies, specifically the ability for Sync to keep a PC running Outlook and an Android based phone in near-real-time sync. It seems that as of yet Apple has not considered the cross-platform issues of the iPhone being in wide-use in business/commercial settings with PCs running Outlook (and said PC being networked to staff, coworkers, etc...).

Suddenly ICal & Address Book stopped syncing with Outlook for Mac

2 days ago, ICal and Address Book stopped syncing with Outlook for Mac 2011. I still have full functionality of Email in Outlook.
What is wrong and how can I fix it?

Any solution here yet? I have the same issue. After upgrading to Yosemite Outlook for mac kept requiring me to "rebuild identity database"
I did this many times so there were many new identities.
Finally I researched and found out that after the Yosemite update outlook would rebuild identity and once you do that there is a mismatch of your email account in outlook which just needs to be deleted and re-added to fix.
Now since then my outlook contacts and apple address book do not speak to each other.
If I make a new contact on my iphone and sync with my mac it will appear in apple address book.
If I make a new contact in outlook it will not appear on the iPhone.
So the phone is communicating and syncing with apple address book but wherever the apple address book goes to find the outlook contacts it must be using one of the older "identities"
Also now when I am in outlook and go from email to contacts it takes about 20 seconds to open the 5,300 contacts and it used to be instant.
Is there a way to view where outlook is getting the data? When I go into Outlook Preferences, Sync Services, "On My Computer:" is the one that is chosen so that should be good.
Any help?

Does Lion work with Office for Mac?

Does Lion work ok with Office for Mac? I have the latest version of Office for Mac, but it is the cornerstone of my working life and I would hate to upgrade and find that it doesn't work.

Yes, Office 2011 works perfectly on Lion. Only versions 2004 and older have a problem as Rosetta is no longer supported.
I hope this helps.

For starters, make sure to Check for Updates on any of the Help menus, and make sure the product has all the latest patches. MS did come out with a patch addressing the display issues on Retina Macs. Latest patchlevel is 14.3.2.
We are talking about Office:Mac 2011, right?

There's a third-party syncing program called onsync, I think, that I've seen people discuss on here. Maybe that one will work with your mobile.

Perhaps you're enjoying the bittersweet changes in iTunes 8.1. Many users, me included, have seen our 2nd gen shuffles become much more inconvenient to use after this upgrade.

ITunes doesn't show some playlists for sync with iPhone ...

I've got a few smart playlists.
The annoying thing now is that some of them do not show up under "my iphone" / Music / Playlists.
So I can't sync them to my iPhone ;-(
I used to have this smart playlist in the iPhone section of iTunes - but I can't remember when it disappeared.
For instance, I've got a smart playlist that contains some of the latest episodes of some podcasts.
It is populated fine, but it does not show up in the playlists for sync with my iPhone.
Another smart playlist (which I call "random pop") contains some music from my music collection.
This one does show up in the iPhone section of iTunes ...
BTW, just in case you wonder why I have this smart playlist containing some episodes of the podcasts: first, there are some episodes that I don't care for on my iPhone; second, with this little trick I can jump by a simple double-click to the next episode, no matter which podcast it belongs to, while listening to my iPhone.
Any insights, tips, and suggestions will be highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Mystery solved: the playlist is now under "my Iphone" / Podcasts / Include Episodes from Playlist ...

Help Please....Tour stops syncing with BES for no reason

I have the new Tour and 4 times in the past month for no reason the phone stops syncing with our Blackberry Server. I still get my hotmail emails, i can still use the phone/text. But my work emails stop coming in and the connection to the BES is apparanlty lost. Our company tech guy can usually fix it by restarting the BES I think and then all my emails come in and say the exact same time received....whatever time the server is restarted. What is odd is that we have 5 other people with Tour's on the same server...their phones never stop syncing its only mine. Any ideas? Should i just go get a new Tour? Thanks to anyone who can help.

I may not have the right answer for you but I recently discovered two commands in mail.app that might help.
When you launch mail, go to the windows menu and launch the activity viewer and connection doctor. They may point you in the right direction.

No not bothered about sycing apps etc it is all about calendars and maybe notes. IN terms of how its done I just want it the easiest way and preferably so that if an entry is made on one calendar then it populates the other.
Thgius is beacuse I have my work diary on outlok, which I then link with my ical. I want to make sure that information is then shared with her.

My wife and I both have the new iPhones. Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac? So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

I have an HP Laserjet 5m monochrome printer that I have used for years with our three Mac computers

HP Laserjet 5m monochrome printer C3917A (1997)
Operating system: OSX 10.7.4
Error message: Printer busy
No known changes made to system or configuration
I have an HP Laserjet 5m monochrome printer that I have used for years with our three Mac computers (two on OS X Lion and one on Leopard). I'm using ethernet to connect to a router and then my computer (although I have also tried to connect directly to no avail.) We went away for 2 weeks, returned and got “Printer busy” for all 3 computers. I reset the printer to factory settings. Same problem. By the way, the printer says READY. I then went to System prefs and clicked ‘–‘ in the Print & Scan section to remove the printer. When I tried to add back the printer, nothing shows up. I now remember that this may be because the means of communicating with the printer has now changed and that I had found the printer by somehow adding its address settings (or something). Can anyone help me to reconnect with the printer?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
