Calendar / Windows sync problem

My iPhone syncs contacts, etc. just fine with Windows.  However, I get an error message syncing the calendar: "the sync server failed to sync the iPhone".  Odd message.  Any suggestions???  Thank you!

Hi,
For this problem, it would be better to contact Windows Phone support for further assistance:

  • M500 Windows Sync problem

    Never had any problem with my M500, until I just created approx. 25 notepad notes from a seminar, two days ago. After copying them, deleting them, thats when my sync problem occurred.......Now I can't even open my desktop version! Its warning: Cannot open Datebook data. Sync attempts begin, but then gets hung up on the Expense records, and I don't have any Expense records in that folder!!! Help! My handheld works.
    Post relates to: Palm m500

    If Palm desktop will not open with the error you are reporting, the datebook folder typically contains corrupted data.
    Do you have the current data on the handheld?
    If you do, you can rename the datebook folder to datebook.old and see if Palm desktop will open.
    On the PC, go to my computer, local disk ( typically driveC ) , program files, palm or palmone, look for your username folder, open the username folder and find the datebook folder. Rename this to datebook.old. Open Palm desktop and see if will open without errors.
    If it opens and you have the current data on the handheld, change the hotsync conduits to handheld overwrites desktop, you can set the expense conduit to "do nothing" and sync.

  • Repetitive Calendar Entry Sync Problem N81

    If I delete an instance of repetitive entry
    (For instance, say I have English Class Every Monday, except October 6th which I delete) All deleted7altered instances will be restored within a couple of synch cycles.
    This is true if I sync w/Outlook, Nokia 6267 (using Switch Application).
    When I sych with Ovi, I see the deleted entries are restored in Ovi. However, despite of several synh cycles, for as long as I only sycnh with ove, the N81 calendar has been correct.
    I Really would like to have a solution, first and foremost so I can sych N81 with Nokia 6267.
    PS. There is also a problem synching Notes including carriage return characters. That I can live with, though.

    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!

  • Windows Sync Problem

    I'm running Windows XP SP2 with Office Pro 2007. Immediately after installing Office I can sync my iphone and both Outlook contacts and calendar sync just fine both ways. After a day or two the iphone goes through the motions as though it is synching but no data is synched either way. I can reinstall all of the Apple software and it does not fix the problem. I can try the setting that just copies all data from the PC to the iphone but that does not work either. I try resetting sync history but still no joy. But if I just uninstall and reinstall Office 2007 it will start synching successfully again. It will work for a day or two then will continue to go through the motions of synching but no data is synched either way. Same behavior with Office Pro 2003. I wasted my money on the upgrade and it did not solve the problem.
    I talked with Apple support about this and after trying a few things that did not solve the problem, I was told to call Microsoft because they did not really have the expertise to figure out the problem. Gee thanks Apple.
    Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this? Thanks.

  • Calendar Outlook Sync Problem

    Just in the last week, I am having problems with syncing recurring appointments (Outlook 2010, Windows 7).  They sync accross, but if I try to amend a single occurance in Outlook it appears as an additional appointment on the iPhone, one hour earlier - similar problem if I amend in iPhone, doesn't sync accross to Outlook.
    Can anyone help?  This seemed to work before the last software update.

    Finally, It WORKS !!!
    I followed instructions from http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306666
    I have removed an application (Genesys Meeting Center) that causes problems with syncing (it works for my Pocket PC but not for Itouch...). I have never seen until yesterday that new default class value for my meetings was "IPM.MeetingCenter"...
    I have deleted each appointment then created same again to obtain a class "IPM.Appointment". I change also my PST file in Outlook properties (changing default value "when publicating" to IPM.Appointment).
    And now it works. I can't use Genesys but i can synchronize ;-)))
    Thank you for your support.

  • Mountain Lion Calendar New Syncing Problems

    I have had all my macs and my IOS devices synced through iCloud since it was MobileMe.   Everything has been wonderful (mostly) in terms of syncing, but in recent days, I have an issue where one of my calendars will no longer show events on the Macs.
    At the beginning of the school year, I created a new iCloud calendar for my daughter's school.   I then uploaded a calendar export into that calendar so I could sync her school events across all of our devices.   Everything was wonderful.   Just a few weeks ago, I noticed that the events on that one calendar NO LONGER show on ANY of the Mac's - I think this is since the 10.8.2 update.    It only happens on this particular calendar.  
    Note that all of the events still show on icloud.com.   All of the events still show on my IOS devices.   They just stopped showing on my Mac's.   The other calendars show just fine.   I've gone through removing iCloud sync and re-enabling, but I get the same results.   I can add new events on any of the devices and they show up across platforms and online.   It's just those original 200+ events on the calendar that I put in for her school that no longer show.   Again - they showed fine for 2-3 months...
    Please help!

    Back up all data.
    Delete the problem calendar accounts in the Mail, Contacts & Calendars preference pane, then add them back. Make sure the account details are correct. Test. If it still doesn't work, please describe in more detail what happens.

  • Shared Gmail calendar iCal sync problem.

    I have a work gmail calendar that is shared between me a colleague that tracks our shifts. In gmail I see both his entries and my own. However when I sync in iCal I only see my entires. I've tried adding him as a delegate but nothing. Any suggestions?

    Here is the full Text from User marcmec again:
    Back up iCal (just to be safe)
    1) I disabled automatic syncing to .mac and in iTunes.
    2) I made sure (manually) that all appointments that were on my iPhone were in iCal
    3) In iTunes: did a "Replace information on this iPhone" with Calendars checked
    Tested sync - still didn't work
    4) In .mac sync preferences, in the sync panel, click advanced, click 'reset sync data', Replace Calendars on .mac with sync info from this computer.
    5) Do step 4 again but this time Replace Calendars on this computer with sync info from .mac.
    6) In iTunes, did step 3 again.
    Tested sync and all is working fine. Don't forget to re-enable automatic syncing to .mac and in iTunes if that was how you had it set up.
    I hope this helps.
    Will report on ipod touch in the in the evening or tomorrow... (TZ Europe)

  • 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

  • Hot Sync problems with Windows Vista using a Tungsten E2

    Need Help solving a hot sync problem. Have a Tungsten E2, about a year old. Use Windows Vista OS. Can not sync to desktop. It worked fine for awhile then stopped sync'ing. Have reinstalled Palm Software, Have downloaded Palm 6.2. Have deleted all 3rd party apps,,,and their back up files. Particulary,,,,Epocrates apps, Took over my PDA. Installations and updates gets to synchronizing Calender and 'freezes' have left it on overnight figurng lots of data,,,,no progress. I need help. I really enjoy using this equipment.  I use my PDA for all my scheduling of work shifts appts etc. I would appreciate some suggestions. Thanks in advance. Mike.
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    Hi..  Welcome to the Palm forums.  So if I am understanding you when you try to sync it goes to calendar and freezes and never completes the sync.  That being the case the first thing you want to do is go to the conduits and turn off calendar then sync and all should be successful, except calendar will not sync.  What this indicates is that you have corrupted data in your calendar, most likely on the E2.  Do a google search on your computer for a utility 'dbfixit' and download it to your computer.  Extract it so you have the dbfixit.prc file and double click on it to put it in the installer.  Then, insuring the calendar conduit is off, sync to install it.  Once installed run dbfixit.  This utility is free or can be purchased for (I believe) 12.95.  The free version will search for corruption and problems let you know where they are and you will have to manually fix or delete them.  If you register it, when you run the utility it will find the errors and fix them as well.  Once all errors are fixed, turn the calendar conduit back on and you should be able to sync.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Boss has a 3G having syncing problems from iphone calendar to laptop calendar. Any suggestions?

  • 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.

  • ICal, Google Calendar, syncing problems and duplicate entries

    Hi everyone:
    I could use some help. Oy.
    At work, we use Google calendar, and that hosts my appointments. I find the Google web-interface impossible, and would like to use iCal to access the data on the Google servers. I have no problem doing that with iOS--my iPhone and iPad manage to sync up fine, and syncing works in both directions; i can add and delete either on Google or on the iOS devices and everything is fine.
    But on my desktop machine, I have problems of two sorts. First, once I follow the steps to add a calendar, the syncing seems broken; I can add and delete from the Google web interface, but nothing deleted from the desktop gets passed to Google. Second, I have many duplicate entries that show up on my desktop and some very old appointments that no longer should be on the calendar show up out of no where.
    What I'd love to do is a full reboot, eliminating all calendar data everywhere (except on the Google servers, of course, where the work stuff is stored) and start from scratch. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance--
    Roger

    Have you tried rebooted your Mac? (Not needed often, so we Mac users often forget to try this. ) Are you logged on with an admin account or a standard account? (Or one with Parental Controls enabled.)
    Sometimes I'll find the dialog window "behind" my other windows. Try not to click or move your mouse after you click the plus button. Or try moving windows around or minimizing them so that any windows that are hidden behind other windows are then shown. (In fact try closing all apps and Finder windows to reduce the possibility of this issue in the first place.)
    (BTW, your question really is separate from the original question, since the OP already has their Google account added to iCal and you are having trouble adding the account. In the future you'll want to start your own thread so that you can also mark posts answered or helpful.)

  • Calendar Not Syncing - Windows XP and Outlook

    My calendar has been syncing fine since the last time it crashed a couple months ago. Now it doesn't sync at all; no events move in either direction. I've done everything suggested on the support pages:
    Hard Reset
    Reset Sync History
    Disable third-party Outlook add-ins (there were/are none)
    Reinstalled iTunes
    I even restored the iPhone to the factory settings and am ONLY sync'ing the calendar. When I hit the sync button, iTunes claims it's syncing my calendar...and it says that for about two minutes. But nothing changes.
    What else can I do? I'm at a loss. Thanks in advance

    I have the same problem.
    Ever since I upgraded to iTunes 8 my Airport Express has disappeared from the screen and was not detected ever since. Also my Outlook 2003 calendar stopped syncing. The stupid self help steps on the apple support site did (of course) not help. Are there actually any Apple programmers or support staff reading all these complaints? I haven't seen a single helpful post for this problem - nothing, nada, nix! And there are quite some complaints about this problem out there!
    With the previous versions of iTunes everything worked fine and I regularly synced my iPhone 3G and played music through Airtunes. Now I spend hours on the net looking for help.
    Is it a problem of the itunesoutlookaddin.dll file??? I don't know. The only thing I know is that iTunes does not find the calendar anymore. In the iTunes synchronisation window it does not show my calendar anymore. You can choose the option "Outlook" but it doesn't show my specific calendar. I can only click the option "All Calendars" - but without any result. At the same time it shows my Outlook mail account correctly.
    It's very frustrating, especially because my Nokia syncs without a single hickup - it just works...

  • Multiple calendars have appeared on my Iphone and I am unable to sync all of them to my PC, running Windows 7 and Office 2010. How can I sync all the calendars to my PC, or, merge the calendars on the Iphone so there is only 1 calendar to sync?

    Multiple calendars have appeared on my Iphone and I am unable to sync all of them to my PC, running Windows 7 and Office 2010. How can I sync all the calendars to my PC, or, alternatively, merge the calendars on the Iphone so there is only one calendar to sync?

    If the hard drive that crashed is the one that stored the itunes library, be sure to restore the library from Time Machine (mac) or whatever backup you use on windows.  That will get back your music.  I suspect that the replacement drive has an empty itunes library and thus, perhaps, the itunes match used that to sync to its servers.
    Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.
