Calendar sync characterset problem

Hi,
when I synchronize with sony clié Pocket (PALM OS 5), the accentuated characters are changed : ex: "Comité" on outlook becomes "ComitÃ©" on Palm and "Allée" on Palm becomes "All¿" on outlook.
How can I resolve this problem
Thanks

Hi,
Can you tell me what version of the Calendar Sync for Palm you are running? Also, what version of Outlook, as well as the version of the Connector for Outlook, and the Palm desktop you have.
Thanks,
Lily

MFE - Calendar Sync Problems

Hi All
Exchange 2007 environment, published thru ISA to OMA.
Email sync is working fine, but calendar sync causes problems
The calendar sync status is either in progress, or it says 57 discarded, and skips to sync contacts.
I'm running the latest (2.9) version, on an E71. Any advice?
Thanks
Karl

Well, I faced this problem with E63. The reason seem to be some complexity with Exchange/Outlook entries that Nokia Calendar cannot handle. In that cases the following devices/software acted as:
Nokia E61i with Mail For Exchange refused to sync such entries and Calendar works.
HTC Touch Viva with ActiveSync (Microsoft product inder Windows Mobile) refused to sync such entries and Calendar works.
Nokia E63 (mine now) with Road Sync refused to sync such entries and Calendar works.
Nokia E63 (mine now) with Mail For Exchange syncs successfully, but Calendar fails to work.
Well, all first three cases is the one with the first mesage (E71). It has no solution as I think. The fourth one is the case with the mesage I reply to, for that, I think that Nokia need to check it out.

Major problems with iPhone 4 & iPad 2 both 5.1.1. - Outlook Calendar sync

Folks, really need some help here, being forced to revert to Blackberry Bold 9000 because of issues with Outlook Calendar sync since 5.1.1 upgrade on both my iPhone & iPad. Our company Enterprise Active Sync server is 2003 (please don't mention upgrade - already a seperate conversation byt all costs).
email sync's fine on both devices, plus i can continue to use both iCloud accounts, and BT yahoo mail etc !
national holidays set up in Outlook calendar come across, as does some calendar items, but then falls into a resync mode with nothing staying in the device, i can also see and read calendar invites, but once accepted, they disappear !
Searching the internet suggests I'm not alone with this issue - any ideas welcome, seems not to be a problem on os 4 !!! but A) I don't know how to regress and B) why should I ?
Many thanks in advance, please don't make me go back to a BB !!!
Finally, I've been using the devices without issue for nearly 2 years - so again it's linked to 5.1.1. upgrade !

Hi Tim
Firstly, apologies for the slow response to your very quick reply !
I've checked back, we're using Exchange 2007.
We've actually got a ticket open with Apple at present, so anticipate that a patch may be available.
It is still curious though that out of a 200 user community trialling our internal iPhone & iPad pilot, we only have 2 issues (mine and a colleagues), however anticipate that there will be more issues as nearly entire community is on 5.1.1.
On a second point, any ideas how one can rollback to 4.3.3 on an iPhone or iPad ? I can't find anything that implies a self rollback without jail breaking the device ?
Thanks again for the help.
Marc

Outlook 2003 + iPhone calendar sync problem solved

Here is how I solved my sync problem. Seems a lot of people have the same problem here with Outlook sync suddenly not working after it worked fine for a long time.
I've had Outlook 2003 calendar sync with my iPhone for a few month without any problem, but a few days ago the sync suddenly stopped without any error message. iTunes Diagnostic found no problem and I followed all the steps that Apple outlines to fix the problem but nothing worked (TS2776).
As Apple asked to, I created a new user account on my Windows machine and setup a few test calendar entries to sync with my iPhone. That all worked fine.
So I did what Apple doesn't tell you, and I copied my original Outlook Data file (.PST) over to my new user account and tried to sync that one. Now this didn't work. So I knew the problem lies somewhere in my PST file.
I have then tried to create a new one from scratch in my original Windows account, and copy all the data over. Again, it didn't work. So I emptied the file again, and copied all my calendar entries over to the new PST file in batches (first 10, then another 10, etc).
What I found at the end is that one single calendar entry I created a few days ago caused my sync to stop working. Once I removed this entry, everything worked fine again. Don't ask me what was wrong with it (I made a backup just in case Apple wants to see it), but now everything works again.
If you want to save some time to find which one it is, you may start deleting entries that you created just recently before it stopped working.
Hope that helps.

Hi im having the same problem. I use outlook 2003 on windows xp and until recently my sync (using usb) was working fine. Now it would seem that calendar items are no longer syncing. can you give any further details of the calendar entry which was causing your problem? im wondering if it was added on a certain date perhaps.
I am running the inbox repair tool to see if my pst file has any problems but would appreciate any other help in the mean time.
Cheers

Problems with calendar syncing

I am having problems with my calendar syncing... my iPad has the correct date/time, and so does my computer (Mac Pro with Snow Leopard). I use Entourage 2004 on my computer for my calendar. I have the sync on Entourage to sync with iCal, and then in iTunes I tell it to sync with the "Entourage" calendar in iCal.
So when I tried to sync both my iPhone (which always worked before) and my iPad, all of a sudden people's birthdays were a day off, and then it went and duplicated all my calendar entries.
I managed to delete the duplicates with some scripts, and got Entourage looking right. I told Entourage to overwrite iCal's calendar. So both of them looked good. I told iTunes to overwrite the iPad's calendar with the iCal calendar...
and so my "all day" entries on the iPad are now spanning 2 days, and people's birthdays are 2 days off. I have NO idea what the stupid thing is doing, everything is correct in Entourage. But I need to get my calendars working. Please help!!

It turns out that I may have not waited enough time for the wipe of all of my existing calendar appointments to sync through.
I created a few more in outlook, deleted them, checked via the office 365 web calendar they were deleted.
Then I waited another 15 minutes, created the Exchange/Office365 account from scratch, and magic I appear to be back!
(until something else goes wrong that is)

Lotus Notes 8 Calendar Sync Problem (Application Error)

I am seeing an Application Error of the Desktop Manager v4.6 when I try to sync my Lotus Notes 8 calendar DesktopMgr.exe - Application Error: exception unknown software execption (0xc000000d) occurred in application at location 0x082b31dd). The problem started suddenly when I had v4.3, so I upgraded hoping the error will resolve itself but it did not.
I had this problem before and I think it was related to a calendar entry that had attachments. When I deleted the calendar entry, the problem went away.
So now I am trying to locate the calendar entry when I force a one way sync from Lotus Notes to my 8830. I looked at the log and it states the last calendar entry it read, so I deleted it and tried syncing again without success. The number of records read is one less than before I removed the calendar entry.
So how do locate the calendar entry that maybe causing the problem? What view in my Notes 8 mail does DM use to analyze my calendar entries?
.... Leo

Hello,
Well, I have just performed the update to the suggested PC Suite version and rebooted my PC.
Conclusion : exactly the same problem is happening.
I had a calendar entry whose description field was 2131 characters (including spaces). PC Suite failed to replicate the calendar and always failed with the following message : "Synchronization Completed, 0 entries have been updated". When looking in the replication log, you would find a "pc sync information" stating "PC Sync has encountered a problem and has terminated the synchronization", and another entry stating "The Synchronization has been aborted by the user".
If I truncate manually in Lotus Notes (8) this calendar entry to a much smaller description, then the synchronization succeeds.
This problem has been present since many releases of PC Suite. I hope Nokia will fix and once and for all !!!
I'm working at IBM, and I'm consulted by many colleagues who recognize me as their "technology" advisor. Up to today I must say that I have not been actively promoting Nokia as replication with Lotus Notes as always been suffering many issues. Compared to Windows Mobile devices or even Palm, it has no chance at all, as these devices do have GREAT synchronization capabilities with Lotus Notes.

Strange Calendar sync problem after migrating to iOS5

Hello all,
I posted my problem as an "me too" reply to somebody else's thread but think it got a bit lost there.
Since I can't solve this problem I decided to make a new thread.
The problem:
After upgrading my iPhone4 to iOS5 I have a strange calendar syncing issue such that existing entries from one calendar (I've got two, see below) are duplicated on the other .... but only on the iPhone, not on the calendar server (Lotus Notes) itself!
As I couldn't find a normal solution to this problem (already removed the complete Lotus Notes traveler account from my iPhone and reinstalled it again, to no use: the duplicates pop up again) I finally decided to start removing the duplicate entries on my phone. To my surprise however they popup again!!!!!
I added a new entry to the original calender to see whether that one would popup in the other as well but this didn't happen.
It looks to me it must be something wrong on my iPhone as the "duplicates" do not show up in the calender database on the server (using Lotus Notes PC client) nor its replicas.
The configuration:
I sync with two calendars on my iPhone:
- gmail calendar for my private
- lotus notes server (traveler exchange) for my work.
The gmail calender also syncs with my desktop client (outlook 2010) via a small application "gSyncit".
This all worked like a charm on iOS4.
No matter where I modified, deleted or added entries (not only calendar, also contacts and mail) it all stayed perfectly in sync!
Does anybody out here noticed the same and/or has a solution to this?
BTW: I haven't activated iCloud for the calendar/mail/contacts (yet) ...

OK,
I found out what was wrong myself.
In the end it turned out that it had nothing to do with the iOS5 upgrade itself.
In case somebody else stumbles accross this very same problem, here's what was going on:
- Within the latest lotus notes client (on PC) the user has the possibility to display (read-only) external calendar contents (e.g. google's calendar).
- When setting this up you need to supply your external calendar's login/password information and next to that
- also have the possibility to select "View this calendar when offline or on a mobile device"
It was this setting (which I probably accidentally enabled) causing the "issue". Deselecting this option made my duplicate entries disappear on my phone.

Calendar syncing problems with outlook and iphone

Months and months ago I had the following window pop up when I go to sync my phone:
"synching with iphone will change more than XX% of your calendars"
First I have to say the vagueness of Apples messages is disappointing. This message does not convey to me exactly what its going to do if I accept the message. This is my first apple product and I love my iphone, but itunes and everything related to the PC is disappointing! Anyway, I have been hitting cancel because when I attempt to lookup the problem online in a Google search I don't find any quick definitive answers. I no longer use outlook on this computer, so I want all the calendar entries in the phone to remain the same. I've attempted to uncheck calendar syncing and get the following message:
"Itunes will no longer sync calendars to the Iphone. Would you like itunes to remove calendars previously synced to you iphone"
Once again, the infamous apple user friendliness I've heard so much about doesn't seam to be true! This message is so vague. What calendars is it going to remove, the ones on the pc or the phone? And why would it remove anything, I just want it to stop syncing. Urg, frustraded. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Originally all of Apple products were intended for use with Mac computers. Macs have default program - iCal to sync calendars. Windows default program is ironically Microsoft Outlook. There couple more options in iTunes for
calendar sync, but those need to be chosen and not default.
In your particular situation since you don't have outlook anymore, you don't need to make any changes. No outlook - no sync. Apple way - no user interference nessesary.
Please do remember that everyting I write is just my opinion, nothing more or less.

Ipod touch 3rd generation calendar sync problems.

I have just updated my IPod Touch 3G to Software version 5.1.1.
The calendar has been synced and all entries, including those in Outlook itself, not just the IPod, have been erased from 12 months ago.
The calendar sync is to Outlook. Fortunately this is a repeat performance and I have learned to keep a backup of calendar entries as a .pst file. Therefore all that was needed was to resync the system to the. pst file.
There is however, another observation. After a resync, all calendar entries from year 2000 (in my case) can be listed on the IPod. Past experience has shown that after a few days, involving another sync, all entries before 12 months ago will not list on the IPod.
The calendar entries are there, shown as dots against the date, but they will not list on the IPod.
Also the IPod search feature will only search entries for the past 12 months. This is to be expected, since the IPod processing features can only be limited, due to indexing etc. You can't expect the IPod to perform the same as a larger PC.
Does anyone have this problem?
I keep a backup pdf file of the calendar on the IPod and PC, but even then the search on the IPod pdf file is limited to letters only, not numbers - again probably due to indexing problems.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Problems with Outlook Calendar syncing with my Palm TX

I have recently started have problems getting my Palm TX to sync with Outlook 2003 Calendar. I don't have any issues with Contacts or Tasks syncing. In the Hot Sync log, I get the following error code "OLERR:03-0024 (0x8000ffff)". Any ideas what causing this?
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

Relates to Palm TX but probably applies to other Palm's.
I had same Calendar sync problem but with Outlook 2007 (Win XP). One day I could sync, next I could not. I tried resets, re-installing software, running DbFixIt but nothing worked. I kept getting a log saying "Sync with Calendar had failed."
The solution turned out to be more simple than I imagined. Just make sure you have the Microsoft 2007 patch installed if you are running Office 2007.
Here goes...
Right click on the sync symbol on your PC. Left click on "Custom" from the drop-down menu.
Under the Custom menu, select Calendar (Outlook). On the right side click "Change".
Make sure the button is checked for "Syncronize the files".
Next click on Settings. Decide what you prefer, e.g Handheld wins" in the drop-down menu.
You might also decide you want to sync two computers (e.g. a desktop and a laptop). You will see an option to apply that setting on the same Setting menu.
Click OK. Then you MUST make sure the "Set As Default" box is checked for this to take effect in future.
Finally click "OK".
If you are having the same problem with Contacts, it is the same procedure except you pick Contacts (Outlook) in the Custom menu.
It fixed my Calendar sync problem and everything is back to normal.

Calendar Sync Problem: Cannot write to outlook calendar using DM

All syncing works fine between my DM version 6.0.1.18 and my Blackberry Bold 9700, EXCEPT that I cannot sync entries FROM my device calendar to Outlook 2007... The other way works. BB software is version 5.0.0.593 and it is BIS not BES.
I have tried renaming/deleting Intellisync folder; the configuration on the DM is set to TWO-WAY. I have also reset the configuration on the DM. Every time I want to sync a new calendar entry on my Device, the message box says that it's reading the device entries and then processing them - no problem. Then it starts reading my Outlook entries, no problem. Then it processes Device entries again and highlights entries that need conflict resolution. After inputing required conflict treatment, I get the Confirm Calendar Edits window. So far great! I press Accept, and then get the Processing Device Calendar again...after it gets to the end, a new window appears and when it gets to record X I get the dreaded popup message "Operation terminated unexpectedly" error. If I delete the offending entry on my BB Device, the error disappears. However, until this problem is solved, I effectively only have one way calendar syncing: From Outlook to Device.
Can somebody please help??
Thanks.

Hello flittda,
Does the error occur when you synchronize your Contacts or just the Calendar?
Delete the Intellisync folder from your computer:
If you
are using Microsoft Windows® XP, go to C:\Documents and Settings\<User
Folder>\Application Data\Research In
Motion\BlackBerry\Intellisync.
If you
are using Microsoft Windows Vista™, go to C:\Users\<User
Name>\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Intellisync.
If you still get the error , enable advanced logging as shown in KB01451 and look delete the Calendar entry which could be the cause of the error.
Let me know how you make out.
Thanks!

E2 - Calendar Sync problem

I have my calendar sync setting on my E2 to synchronize both ways, but it does not remove cancelled meetings on the handheld, nor does it exchange to synch appointments entered in handheld in to PC software. What am I missing in settings?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Try a 10 second soft reset by taking out the battery for at least 10 seconds. This allows the device to power off completely, like a shutdown on a PC.
When you sync do you get any errors for the calendar? Look in the hotsync log for the errors.
There may be database corruption causing the issue. Click on the following link for the program called DbFixiT. This program has a trial version that you can download and install on your Palm OS device. The trial version will scan for database corruption and then report the corruption. You can then find the records causing the problem and fix them yourself or you can purchase the program and have it automatically fix the records.
http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm
If this finds corruption, this is probably why the calendar is not sync'ing.
To install the program, set all conduits except quick install to do nothing.
After you correct the records on the handheld, try a sync again and see if it will complete.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.
