Calendar appointments cut off notes - syncing error?

My calendar appointments cut off the notes to just under 500 characters on random appointments - how can I make sure the full notes sync? I am syncing my Microsoft Exchange Calendar between an iPhone (iOS 8.2), iPad and Outlook on a desktop (Office 2013 v15.0.4701.1002). Several coworkers have the same issue with varying frequency of occurance.

Well, I feel like an idiot, but sometimes the biggest problems have the simplest solutions. I actually did not have my PC set to adjust for daylight savings time. So I turned it on, then had to manually set the clock back an hour. Now the appointments in Outlook are at the correct time and when I sync my iPhone it no longer moves ahead one hour after.
Thank you very much for your help.

Centro Calendar and Contacts do not sync

I have had a problem syncing my contacts an calendar entries for several weeks. I use a Palm Centro. I have tested with both Desktop and Outlook 2003. Both have the same symptoms. I am intrigued by other users problems that have been resolved by removing an Exchange account in Versamail. While I do not have an Exchange account that I can determine and only have one account in versamail, I'd like to eliminate any possible Versamail conflict. Is it possible to totally disable or delete versamail to test for a versamail conflict? I assume I can always reset up Versamail.
More info: I have the same problem with both Palm Desktop and Outlook 2003. Contacts and Calender entries do not sync. Tasks and memos sync just fine. After scanning the many postings on this site many centro users have the same problem. I received a replacement Centro in December and calendar and contacts have not sync'd since then. It sounds like I have a different version of hotsync on the new centro that does not work the same. Is that possible? I have Hotsync 5.4.0 on my Centro and Hotsync 7.0.2 on my desktop running XP professional.
During hotsync and in the log file there is no evidence that hotsync is attempting to sync calendar and contacts. I receive no errors in the log file. Calendar and contacts are both checked on the desktop version of hotsync with the option to synchronize the files. On the Centro under conduit setup calendar and contacts are both checked.

Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:29:26 EST 2009)>Please follow these steps to perform Hard reset on your Palm centro.
Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:29:40 EST 2009)>Disconnect your smartphone from its AC charger and USB sync cable. The hard reset will not work if either of these is connected.
Remove the battery cover, take out the battery, and put it back in.
When the Palm logo appears, press and hold Power/End until the black status bar at the bottom of the screen fills and disappears.
The screen will go blank briefly, then you'll see an "Erase all data?" prompt.
Release Power/End .
Press Up to confirm the hard reset.
When the language selection screen appears, select the same language you selected for your desktop software.
Then you'll be prompted to tap targets and set up your device. When these steps are done, your device is ready for use.
Let me know if you need any further clarification in the steps listed above.
Don_Marsh(Wed Jan 14 09:30:22 EST 2009)>just a minute, i am performing hard reset
Michael(Wed Jan 14 06:30:45 EST 2009)>Please make sure that it should ask to "Erase all data".

Calendar on Mac will not sync post OS and iOS updates

Using iTunes (not the cloud) after the last up date to OS on the Mac and iOS on iPad and iPhone, Calendar syncs between iPad and iPhone but Calendar on Mac with not sync. I have check Preferences on all three and every calendar I have is checked off to sync.

After much fiddling with my Calendar I have resolved the problem:
1. I exported all the calendars individually and saved them on your desktop
2. Using an iOS device delete all the calendars on your iCloud account (you should be able to use iCloud.com in the same way)
3. Now that your iCloud calendar is empty, import the calendars from your desktop one by one waiting for them to fully sync before doing the next one.
4. Done!
*I discoverd that one of my calendars was corrupted and would not install, perhaps this was the problem? However I believe that it was because my calendars had too much content (multiple repeating events and sporting event subscriptions). I got rid of the sports ones (huge) it was very slow to upload, and I decided to slim that calendar down as it's not very important.
I personally think it's a calendar event overload problem, too much content for iCloud to handle. It would make sence because I had no problems with any other part of iCloud (reminders/notes...) and my iPhone calendar was fine (because it does not upload any old events, ie dramatically less content) I hope this helps!

Calendar, Reminders, Contacts do not sync

Calendar, Reminders, Contacts do not sync w my iPad. However, other apps do sync (i.e. mail, bookmarks etc.). Calendar, Reminders, Contacts are turned on in iPad as well as in iMac.

Let's focus on the Contacts. I have not been able to sync my Contacts in iMac and in the iCloud. Only half of my contacts from iMac appear in iCloud.
I have followed these instructions, step by step, but do not help:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998
...except the last one: uncheck/check the checkmark next to Contacts in System Preferences/iCloud because this would delete Contacts in my iMac.
My Contacts account look as follows:
Do I need to use iTunes to sync Contacts?
Any, really any, help appreciated.

That's where you're going wrong. Firstly the syncing method that MobileMe used, which places the icon in the menu bar, is quite different from the iCloud method and is irrelevant. Secondly, you're confusing the Time Machine icon with it.
On this Mac you need to set up in System Preferences>iCloud in the same way, then the syncing is automatic. In iCal on both machines you should see in the Calendar list your calendars listed unrer 'iCloud', and your calendars should be visible at http://icloud.com (and choose Calendar in the welcome screen).
If they aren't visible online, go to http://me.com/calendar - you should not be able to see them there. If you can, you haven't migrated.

Calendar entries on iphone not syncing to my macs. Syncing via mobile.me and works well from mac to phone

Calendar entries made on my iphone are not syncing in to my ical calendar on my macs. Syncing via mobileme. works well from mac to phone.

I am having a similar problem. I think that my phone actually deleted a couple appointments, as well. Today I entered a repeating event on my phone. It still has not shown up on my MacBook or my iPad, hours later. I believe it is because my iCloud Sync was turned off on my phone. I just checked - It said that my password was entered incorrectly. I think that must have happened when I upgraded to iOS6. I fixed it now and am waiting to see if my iCal sync happens.

Notes Sync Error slows Mac to a halt

Whenever I open Mail, my machine slows down & looking in system log I get this error:
May 1 11:48:23 iMAC Mail[1305]: notes sync canceled, error:(null)
It slows down TM backups & makes them take over 30 minutes (instead of just minutes with Mail program closed).
I have deleted all the notes...
Even when I turn off "sync notes" and anything to do with "Mail" in .Mac preferences the error persists.
What is it trying to sync with?

Calendar on my ipad2 not syncing?

All of the sudden some appointments I added on my ipad are not syncing to my desktop calendar? Any ideas?
THANKS

do a couple of things, open itunes and deselect updating calenders. go to your iphone, and under accounts add a mobileme account (if you already have, ensure calender is enabled) go back to itunes and check that itunes tells you than calender et al are being synced (they will be greyed out)
Then in iCal, open preferences and make sure you have your mobileme account listed. It will now appear as an iCal WebDav, it should also say push, in a drop down box.
Going back to iCal, you should see a heading that describes your mobileme account (usually your mobileme email address) drag any calender entries from 'on my mac', to the mobile me account, and viola they will sync.
Hope that helps

Calendar entries on iphone not syncing with outlook calendar

Items that I entered on my iphone calendar are not syncing with my outlook calendar on my office pc. Outlook entries are appearing on iphone calendar, however. Used to work, now doesn't. Recently updated iphone software. Could this be the problem?

i had same problem. everything worked fine backing up iphone to macbook pro and Ical until IOS 5 upgrade, then selective entries on Iphone wouldn't backup to Ical despite repeated attempts. I did what you did, turned off calander iCloud feature so it backs up only to MacBook and it seems to have solved problem.

Calendar on iPhone does not sync to iCloud

I have never synced anything to iCloud before. I would like to sync my iPhone 4s Calendar to the iCloud (iOS 7.0.4). I have followed all the instructions to sync to iCloud using the settings, Mail, Contacts and Calendars and iCloud, but it doesn't seem to be sending my iPhone Calendar data to the iCloud. Since I don't have any other means to back up my Calendar, I can' afford to lose my iPhone calendar data, since iTunes no longer syncs my iPhone calendar data to my iMac. The calendar data on my iMac is not current . Any suggestions would be welcome.

Welcome to the Apple Community limill.
    1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Outlook-Updates to EXISTING Calendar and Contact entries not syncing correctly - two PC's

My setup is two PC's (one at work, one at home), one BB. Both PC's Outlook are Outlook 2003, SP3. I do not use BES. I sync my BB to both PCs.
I have experiencing specific issues where updates to existing Outlook Calendar (mtg notes) and Contact (contact notes) are not being sync'd from one PC to the next PC (via my BB device - Sprint Curve 8330 running OS v4.5.0.131). I sync PC's to my BB using BB Desktop Mgr (v4.7) and USB cable.
Here are specific details of what I am doing to duplicate the issues.
1) Calendar:
I have been away from work the past two days. In that time, I have updated two (2) calendar items at my PC at home - both items are at my work PC as well.
Item one: I moved the date from Wed to Thurs, and added a note - done from home PC
Item two: I changed the description of the meeting, and shortened appt from 3 hrs to two hrs - done from home PC
Both items sync OK with my BB
Upon coming to work this morning, neither sync'd to my work PC. I finally did the following:
Item one: I deleted from Desktop Outlook, opened in BB put a space in the meeting description saved.
Item two: Opened on BB, put a space in the meeting description saved.
Upon resyncing, here is what happened
Item one: Sync Mgr noticed conflict of deleting from PC and changed in BB. I chose to copy item to PC. This results in syncing correctly to PC
Item two: Sync'd to PC correctly.
Something is NOT right. The sync process did NOT recognize these two items that changed until I manually intervened (updating on the BB).
2) Contact:
I ran a test today where on my work PC, I added a comment into one contact's note. I successfully sync'd that contact note to my BB. However, when I sync the BB with my home PC, that note did NOT make it to the home PC.
I opened the contact (in edit mode) on my BB, inserted a space to the contact's name, erased the space, and saved the contact.
I then sync'd the BB to the home PC again. This time, success - the contact's note got sync'd to the home PC.
HELP
I have seen this sort of thing a few times before (where sync did not sync a Calendar event/mtg correctly) in the past three months or so I owned my BB - but this is the first time I decided to actually test out the fix. This is the first time I noticed with a contact (maybe b/c i do not look at my Contacts updates as closely as I do my Calendar mtgs updates)

Thanks for your feedback:
2 things..... I somehow had created a duplicate calendar which may have been >blocking the sync. If you have it as well, delete this calendar and try to sync.
I have several calendars in Outlook - there is the main one which contains everything, then where I have marked certain entries as 'Personal' or as 'Anniversaries' etc a separate calendar is created with those entries in them.
Also, I read somewhere that some calendar entries will corrupt the sync of the > phone. Delete all new entries since the last successful sync and enter a test >entry and try to sync the phone. To the best of my knowledge, there is no >indication that an appointment is "bad" other than the phone will stop syncing. >So perhaps after each sync, check the phone to ensure any new entries appear.
I can't possibly tell when the last successful synch occurred! I also don't want to delete entries - I need them all!
There appears to be very little advice on this problem, hopefully this will >work.
Yes, it seems that the Great God Apple isn't anywhere as smart as it thinks it is. I am really frustrated and not a little angry. This is basic stuff for any other phone, let alone a Smart Phone!
Thanks for your comments, though.
