BlackBerry Link and syncing Contacts, Calendar and Tasks with stand-alone desktop installation of Outlook 2010?

I have used Blackberries in business since the beginning. Fantastic products!
Sadly after spending the better part of Feb 6th transitioning from Torch to Z10 I have had to abandon the effort and request an RMA number to return the Z10.
Here is why:
"Link" appears to be focussed on syncing documents and media like content such as music and movies but does not, from what I can tell, sync Outlook Contacts, Calendar entries or Tasks. I have never bothered putting music or movies on a BB... never had the time to fuss with such... however, I use, edit and sync my Contacts, Calendar and Tasks between my Torch and my desktop PC every day... as in EVERY day!
From a review of postings on various forums there does not appear to be a solution in the works to this problem and the trend appears to be to use a Cloud based email or service to host such "PIM" information and then sync the handheld to the Cloud repository. This method MAY be suitable for some forms of info but it is not suitable to post such personal info on the cloud... it needs to stay on the desktop and in the handheld device, both of which are password protected and looked after carefully.
This is an odd situation, BB (RIM) cut their teeth on pages, emails, BBM and great cell calls, mainly in a business environment. Many small business users live and die on their BB. They do not run Exchange Server... they run Outlook stand alone on a desktop. To remove this functionality from the Z10 (BB10 overall perhaps) seems at best to be a serious oversight.
I wish BB the best with the Z10 and hope to see it do well. For me, I had to make a choice between the efficiency and effectiveness of syncing Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks with the Torch, or hand feeding and maintaining thousands of constantly changing entries into what is undoubtedly a more powerful and wonderful looking Z10. Efficiency and effectiveness won over brawn and beauty. The Torch is back on line... It's a tool... a really great tool! Tomorrow it will process a hundred emails, numerous SMS messages, a few BBM's, keep me on time and feed me a bunch of useful phone numbers and addresses as it has for a couple of years now. It will also spend an hour or so teathered to my laptop at a remote location where there is cell coverage but no internet. It will NOT display any movies, tweats, twits, or facebook stuff that I won't have time to look at anyway. The fast, powerful, shiny Z10 is heading in an RMA bag back to Telus.
I have a sort of sick feeling in my gut and hope to be able to sync again in the future!

my feelings and my situation excatly

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi vichochile,
If you are having an issue with syncing your new iPhone with the information that is in iCloiud (and on your other devices) we should make sure that iCloud is set up correctly on the iPhone. See this page for directions -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Can I use a different Apple ID for Find My IPhone and syncing contacts, calendars, etc?

I would like to use one Apple ID to sync all of my contacts and calendars, but I need to place the Find My iPhone functionality in a different Apple ID account. Is this possible? Ideally Find My iPhone would be the ONLY feature used by that account, not app sharing, store purchases or anything else.

To better describe what I am needing:
1. - iPhone 1
2. - iPhone 2
A. - Apple ID #1
B. - Apple ID #2
On 1. I need A for purchases and iCloud and B for Find My iPhone.
On 2. I need A for purchases and B for iCloud and Find My iPhone.
In addition, will iCloud store text messages?

HT4759 Can I use the Icloud to sync contacts, calendar and notes on my Iphone 4s with ios7?

Most of my info seems to automatically back up to the cloud automatically and at once point my address book must have also but I am no longer able to sync the updated address book to my icloud. This as also been a problem with notes and other apple aps. I do not have an Icloud app on my phone but in the systems folder where it shows the icon on the computer it says mobile me which I do not have. Does this mean I need to pay the $20 upgrade fee to go to mountain lion and if i have to upgrade is that the best one to update too? what major changes will i see when I do this and will it cause a problem with any of my current info on my phone such as contacts and calendar?

Yes, to sync with iCloud on your Mac you will need to upgrade.
You can certainly upgrade to Mountain Lion but OS X Mavericks is due out within the next month so it may be worth it to wait. In the meantime you can access your iCloud contacts, calendars, etc... from iCloud.com. Sign in with your Apple ID.
Here is more info on Mavericks: Apple - OS X Mavericks - Do even more with new apps and features.

ITunes8.2 might not sync contacts, calendar and notes with Outlook 2007

My ipod touch has been synching on a Windows XP machine with Outlook 2003 and iTunes 8.2 nicely for a few weeks. Now I need to move to a different computer.
That one had Outlook 2000 this morning. The sync that was intended to move the contacts and calendar information from the ipod touch to this machine failed.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2051 I learned that I can't use Outlook 2000.
So I actually bought Outlook 2007 and used that.
Bummer - no luck!
After trying out a few things:
http://www.zolved.com/synapse/viewcontent/30722/Microsoft_Outlook_Contacts_and_Calendars_are_not_Syncingwit
did this - doesn't help
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1347
empty file?

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692
tried out all four tipps ... no change
http://nickvt.blogspot.com/2009/01/iphone-outlook-calendar-and.html
I did a few experiments.
On another PC syncing works another ipod and the same software Outlook 2007 + ITunes 8.2
On another PC syncing works with my ipod and the same software Outlook 2007 + iTunes 8.2
On my PC using another user's windows account syncing does not work with my iPod and the same software Outlook 2.7 and iTunes 8.2
On my PC syncing does work with Windows Address book
On my PC accessing Outlook via COM via software does work with another application.
So again none of the tipps in
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692
1) Reset Sync history
2) Disable third party addins
3) Attempt to sync content in a new Windows user
4) Reinstall the itunes software
helped. The best I can get is a very long sync session that "feels" as
if the synching went on but in the end there is no result at all.
Copying the outlook.pst file from the machine where things worked and trying
to override the ipod's contact content also failed. It looks like there is
some kind of interfacing problem that does not openly lead to an error message
but still makes sure the whole synching procedure fails. Unfortunately I didn't find any clue on how to setup debugging or logging options to better catch what is going on.
At this point I'm out of options and hoping for help via this forum.

I've had this problem for 3 months! Here are things I've tried which didn't work (my Outlook 2003 calendar still won't sync with my iPhone so my iPhone essentially does not have a working calendar)...but they might work for you:
delete everything off the calendar on your iPhone & check the "override your calendar the next time you sync" button & sync
try setting up a new user on your computer and syncing to that (make sure you've unchecked that "override everything on the iPhone at next sync" button) to see if things will move from the iPhone to the computer

Retired. How do I delete Enterprise from 4S AND sync contacts/calendars to iTunes

After I started to use my personal iPhone 4S to get work e-mails, I was told by an Apple supervisor that it was not possible to sync my contacts and calendar to iTunes. To get this info, I actually spoke to several techs and supervisors before someone authoratatively told me I could not do it. I recently retired and my work email has been disabled. I went to delete it and got a message saying that related contacts and calendars would be deleted. So how do I work through this. I want to keep all my contacts (I have LOTS) and my calendar?

Contacts and calendars synced with an Exchange server are the property of the company that owns the server. They can not be easily 'moved' or copied to another address book or calendar.
There are some 3rd party apps in the app store that claim to be able to do this for contacts. I do not know if there are ay that will do so for calendar entries or not.
Not having personal experience with any of them, I can't make a specific recommendation.

Contact, Calendar and Notes Disappeared after Sync

Please help!
After sync Contacts, Calendar and Notes to pc (Outlook), all are disappeared in iPhone but can't find them too in the pc. Have opened Outlook to retrieve the data but still can't find there.
However pic, videos and apps are found both in iphone and pc after sync.
Million thanks for your great help!

Did you previously ever open Outlook on your computer before?
If not, you may have lost your information.
You could possibly restore your iPhone from a backup.
Check if there is one first.
You can do that by going to Edit-> Preferences in the iTunes program
From there, click on Devices, and you will see a list of backups that were created.
To possibly get your contacts back, you could restore from a back-up and attempt a sync again.

Syncing Contacts/Calendar Only

Hello
I just received the new 6 Plus and want to set up as new, instead from back up.
Is there a way to only restore contacts and calendar ? Or do i need to manually reinstall all my contacts and calendar info.
Thank you

If you synced your contacts and calendar to iCloud you can set up your new phone as new and then go to Settings > iCloud and turn on Contacts and Calendars to sync.
If you synced them to your computer via iTunes, the following may help: iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad
If you only have a backup to iTunes or iCloud, the restore from those backups is all or nothing.

BB 8520 Curve Wireless Sync of Calendar and Contact not working

--- REPOST ---
BB Model: 8520 Curve
OS: 5.0.0.681
Network: Mobilink - Pakistan
Can any one help me out, how I can get wireless sync working on my BlackBerry.
I have two emails accounts setup 1. [email protected] and 2. [email protected] where mydomain.com email is also hosted on gmail. I receive emails on both account and able to send as well.
None of these account contact and calendar are being sync. Previously when GoogleSync app was available I was using that, since Google has discontinued this app, so I have removed the app.
In calendar on device, I can see both the calendars and Wireless Synchronization: YES, but no update in either side i.e. If I create any entry on mobile it doesn't show on web or any new entry on web, doesn't show on device.
Very Important: If I access setup on device I don't see Contacts and Calendar under syncronization, however both options are visible if I use https://mobilink.blackberry.com/ to setup/edit email.
Looking forward your expert advise to solve this issue.
Thanks
Falik

How can I sync only Calendars and Contacts on my work PC

Previous versions of the iCloud control panel allowed me to select separately which items I wanted to sync with a PC, Calendars, Contact, Email.
The new version of the control panel has this bundled as a single choice.
How can I eliminate incuding mail?
I am trying to use this on a work PC to keep calendars and contacts in sync, but cannot include iCould email. If I cannot eliminate just the email will need to remove all syncing (defeating the purpose of the cloud).

You might wait until the next Mavericks to see if iTunes syncing for contacts and calendars is restored. Otherwise, you can either install OS X server to restore local syncing (see https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-server/id714547929), or start syncing your calendars and contacts with another service such as Google/Gmail.

Can two Apple IDs be linked so that they can share data? My iMac and iPad have the same Apple ID and sync contacts, bookmarks, etc. My wife's iPad has a different Apple ID. Can it be linked somehow to mine to share contacts etc?

No. You cannot link your contacts to hers. However, you can use Home Sharing to share the information:

iTunes- Setting up Home Sharing on your computer

Error enabling "Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks with Outlook" in iCloud 3.0 Control Panel

Unable to enable option “Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks with Outlook” under iCloud 3.0 Control Panel.
Get following error when clicking checkbox to enable it under iCloud 3.0 Control Panel.

Have tried the following:
Uninstalled / reinstalled iCloud 3.0 control panel

Confirmed Outlook was chosen for “Always uses this profile” under Control Panel – Mail (MicroSoft Outlook 2013) – show profiles
Still get the same error when trying to enable the option under iCloud 3.0 Control Panel

Outlook 2013 was just installed on the PC as part of new Office 2013 installation

Two more things:
First, sorry for the bad spelling, grammar, and all of that. English isn't my first language and I'm so frustrated at this point I'm not paying any attention to it. Sorry!
Second, after trying to repair again the icloud 3.0 through the Control Panel of Windows, guess what? It made Offce to crash again! Now I will have to install it again.

Oops my bad...I see that during my troubleshooting I inadvertently left Ringtones unchecked in iTunes.
