Calendar & Contacts Without Outlook

Is there a Windows utility I can use to create (and sync) calendar and contact entries without having to use Outlook? Light and simple would be best.
Ronny

For contacts, you can use Yahoo! Address Book, Google Address Book, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC.
You can only sync calendars from Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 on a PC.
You could also use the MobileMe webapps.

  • Looking for desktop calendar & contacts (not Outlook, Yahoo etc)

    I just bought my first ipod Touch. I'm looking for a stand alone calendar and address book that will sync with my Touch. I don't want to use Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo or anything like that. I use PC's with Windows XP.

    iPod works best using iTunes to sync.
    iTunes on a PC syncs with Outlook.
    I'm basically looking for an app that I can download onto my PC that is a calendar and address book (similar to a Palm desktop app). I don't want to be dependent on having internet access to see my address book and calendar.
    Well, Outlook fits this. (I hate Outlook, but that is what iTunes syncs with on a PC.
    You'd sync and you'd use Calendar and Contacts on your iPod. You would not need Internet access.

  • IPod  won't sync calendar/contacts with outlook???

    My iPhone syncs it's calendar with Outlook fine on two (windows) computers.
    *But my iPod classic won't do either???*
    When i plug in the classic and look at the contacts tab, it only offer "Windows Address Book" for contacts, and down in the calendar section it states that Outlook must be installed to sync calendars?
    Obviously outlook is installed and working because the iPhone syncs calendars with both computers...
    what gives?
    thanks in advance for your help!

    I have the same problem since I updated to iTunes 10.2 Sue (I think). For me this was somewhere in January.
    I wasn't sure iTunes was the issue, until I read your post. I tested syncing a note, and that works fine.
    My 2nd generation Ipod Touch runs on IOS 4.2.1. It won't upgrade to 4.3.
    Possibly the synchonisation between iTunes 10.2 and IOS 4.2.1 doesn't work correctly.
    Has somebody else solved this isue? I use both calendars (on iPod Touch and on PC) for work and private matters.
    Otherwise I have to uninstall iTunes 10.2 and downgrade to 10.2.

  • Back up Contacts WITHOUT OUTLOOK

    I use Outlook at work and use the calendar as my all-the-time calendar, but don't want all my personal contacts synced with that. At home I use Mozilla Thunderbird for some e-mail accounts and Gmail for others.  I don't want to have to figure out where my contacts are.  What other options are there for back-up of contacts?
    ALSO:  When I click on the Sync 'CONFIGURE' in Link, I get a garbled overlay of two messages, and couldn't sync with either of the above, even if I wanted to.  (I tried to post the screen shot, but it won't let me).  One message appears to say 'Blackberry Link has not detected any data sources to link with such as MS Outlook.'  The other is 'Your calendar and contacts that are manually synced will not be transferred during a backup, restore, or device switch.'
    Any advice?

    I tried editing contacts with Thunderbird and also with Gmail.  It mostly worked but there were scrambled items because each email client has it's own tempate or data structure.  Duplicates occur on import to the BB10 device.  BBM fields may be lost.
    I would like to do complete management of contacts and calendars within Link without dependency on software that is not from Blackberry.

  • Unable to sync Mail/Calendar/Contacts with Outlook 2013

    I'm using the latest version of iCloud Control Panel to sync with Outlook 2013 on Windows 8, but I don't have the option to. Where there should be a checkbox on the Control Panel for Mail, Contacts, Calendars etc. there is just a message saying that these are 'available at iCloud.com'. I've searched through iCloud.com and can see no way to change this. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Control Panel, with no effect. I have checked Outlook Add-in management and the iCloud Add-in is active.
    Does anybody have any idea what's happening?

    I Installed office 2013 64bit on W8 64bit with icloud 2.1.1 (2 email account as imap) and everything works ok !
    also with office 2010 64bit on W7 64bit.
    Bye.

  • Tip: Transfer contacts without Outlook (Express), ...

    I struggled to export contacts properly without being forced to use Outlook
    CSV files, even if they are created by PcSuite itself, are sometimes not recognized by PcSuite (...). Somehow you cannot directly export to VCF files (imagine that Nokia would make people's lives easy ).
    Here a short howto
    Connect to your phone with PcSuite (even "OVI-only" phones work)
    Open contacts, select all contacts
    right-click selection, select "send business card"
    Click "Preview Message" (open envelope icon at the bottom)
    Click "View business cards" (message with paperclip icon)
    Click "Save to file" (document with plus icon)
    Choose a location, create a new folder, and you will have saved contacts separately as VCF. These can be imported by many programs.
    Works with PcSuite 7.1 (Windows) and Nokia 6303i classic, 6230i and 3120

  • Sync Calendar / Contacts without installing software - best method?

    I'm still scratching for an answer to this problem.
    My calendar and contacts are on my work PC (Outlook). I can't install software on that computer.
    I have a PC at home, with iTunes installed.
    What is the best method of keeping my iPhone and my work pc in Sync with each other?

    Allan Sampson wrote:
    You need iTunes for the sync process with the iPhone so you need to transfer your data from your work PC to your home or personal PC and sync your iPhone with this PC only.
    That's the conclusion I came to a couple of months ago. I was hoping things might have moved on. Never mind, perhaps something will develop out of the SDK when it is launched in Feb.
    Thanks anyway.

  • ITunes 11.1.3/iOS 7.0.3 how to sync (bookmarks, calendar, contacts) without using iCloud

    Unfortunately we seem to have lost the ability to sync manually from a computer to a mobile device (iPad in my case) under iTunes 11.1.3/iOS 7.0.3. I am hoping and assuming that people at Apple will hear and see the need for it and correct this oversight in future updates.
    Until then, is there a work-around for people like me who manage do not want to have their information stored on an iCloud server?
    Thanks,
    James

    Thanks for the quick and useful reply Randers.
    It will be good if (hopefully when) the functionality is returned to iTunes/iOS, but installing server is useful in the multitude of options that it opes up, so I followed your advice. I have my contacts syncing perfectly, but there is a problem with the calendar, so perhaps you can help please?
    My working account is a standard user account, so I have had to use my admin account to set up the CardDAV and CalDaV servers. The problem is that the new calendar is blank. I'm probably missing something obvious, but how can I 'link' it to my calendars under my user account? There is no 'drag and drop' as there is for the contacts. If I try to set up a CalDAV service for my standard user account I get the error that the user cannot be verified.
    Do you have any suggestions please?
    Thanks,
    James

  • IMPORT calendar & Contacts MS OUTLOOK 2003

    iTunes 7 will not import either. I believe it may be becuase I have Outlook Installed on my D:\ Drive and I think it is looking for it on a C:\ Drive. Does anyone know how to bypass or edit where iTunes looks for this by default? I have the same problem when clicking on a link from an iTunes Email. I also have iTunes installed on a D:\ Drive. Please help! thanks.

    Just some additional comment. The problem seems to be more random than I originally thought. However, the calendar sync crashes more often than it does not. It is very annoying.
    I have now moved on to do the sync manually, but still the calendar sync often crashes. What kind of information I should dig up to be able to troubleshoot the problem?

  • Why ICloud cannot update My Outlook 2003 Calendars & Contacts

  • I have windows 8.1 and having installed icloud 3.0 cannot view my contacts in Outlook 2013

    I have windows 8.1 and having installed icloud 3.0 cannot view my contacts in Outlook 2013

    This fixed the issue:
    1. sign out of iCloud. (make sure you are really signed out or it won't work!)
    2. open Outlook and make sure iCloud is not listed in Account Settings
    3. close Outlook
    4. sign in to iCloud and let it set up Outlook sync
    You shouldn't need to reinstall anything.  Just remember that when you first look at your calendar/contacts in Outlook it will default to show your Outlook (saved locally) calendar and contacts.  You may need to select iCloud to see them.

  • Syncing iPad calendar with Exchange / Outlook

    Hello,
    i have a problem with syncing the calendar of an Exchange/Outlook User and his Exchange ActiveSync Account on different iPads (iOS 7.1.1 and 5.1.1).
    If i got a meeting request and accept it provisionally on an iPad, and some time after, finally accept it in Outlook, the iPad doesn't recognize the change of state. Moments later, the meeting in Outlook change back to provisionally. All the expected mails have been send and recieved.
    If i go the other way and accept it provisionally in Outlook and accept it finally on the iPad, it seems to be that the Users Outlook recongnize the accept, but the one who asks for that meeting don't get this change of state.
    To me it seems, that the first reaction on on invitation is recognized on both systems (Outlook and iPad) and on both sides (asking and answering of that invitation). But if later a change of state appears, the iPad don't get it right (from Outlook) or don't send the right messages for triggering that change (from iPad).
    And rarely a second issue seems to appear: meetings are vanishing from the iPad Calendar but they are definitly exist in Outlook.
    Is there a Problem with ActiveSync from iPad (and iPhones i think) to Exchange 2007? Can it be solved? Or are there some workarounds?
    Thanks for any help in advance.
    Greetings
    Karsten
    Sorry for bad english and possible wrong named options - i have only german Outlook and don't know the real english buttonlabels.

  • TS3999 How to disable iCloud Outlook calendar sync without disabling contacts

    I am synchronizing iCloud and Outllok Contacts, and do not wish to do the same with calendars (I sync via gMail. Easier and more transparent).
    Issue: Since the latest iCloud Control Panel version, I do not seem to figure how to delete the iCloud calendar from my Outlook, unless I delete all of iCloud controls.
    Anything I'm missing?
    Thanks for any help.

    I just deleted the calendar in outlook.  Didn't do anything in iCloud.  But I am having other issues with the new iCloud control panel.

  • Can't sync calendar, contacts, etc. in Outlook 2007

    I just got a new computer and I can't figure out how to get it to sync my calendar and contacts to Outlook.  I have my Outlook configured to send and receive my Yahoo mail.  It was working fine until I download the Desktop Manager software.  At that point, I could no longer send or receive email, so I uninstalled it.  Can someone help me figure out how to sync the rest of my applications without killing my email?
    Thanks, Katherine
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The following steps will help you to configure synchronization -
    Connect your device using Desktop Manager and click on Synchronization
    From the menu on the left click Synchronization under Configuration
    Again click Synchronization button on the right which will give you option to Select Device Application that you want to synchronize
    Put the check mark and you'll get a prompt to Select Desktop Application
    Highlight the application name and click next button
    Under Synchronization Option you get Direction of Synchronization
    Check the radio button with Two way sync 
    Note: above mentioned steps are explained as per Desltop Manager 4.5
    Example: Synchronize addressbook -
    Connect you HH with your desktop Manager in your PC. If you device is set to wireless sync then you need to turn off wireless synchronization. To do so go to Address Book -> click Menu -> Options -> Wireless Synchronization: No -> click Menu and Save the changes.
    Click on the Synchronize button on Desktop Manager -> Click on Configuration Tab then click on Configure Synchronization -> Click on Choose under Address Book (on the right side of the pop up window) -> Click on you organizer apps (like, MS outlook, Lotus notes etc) -> Select desired apps -> select Synchronization radio button and click OK twice go back to Synchronize tab ->click on Synchronize Now.
