Can't get Outlook to Sync the Calender properly to iphone

Just got my iphone 4, after sync with itunes, the only dates in Calender are for Birthdays but no events at all.
Using Vista and Outlook 2003.
Have also tried to add new events in iphone but also doesn't show up in Outlook.
Please help, need the iphone's Calender to work very badly.
Thanks!!

I'm not sure I can help you but here goes:
* if the iphone is new, you get 60 days of free technical support.
I would STRONGLY suggest you try using it and PLEASE:
Report back with any tricks you learn!
What I am about to relay to you is what I learned when I got my 3GS about 18 months ago ...
I was not very impressed with Apple support ;-/
Here goes:
1) The iOS now looks at your contacts and if birthdays are recorded in the contact records it puts them on the calendar. So that is why the birthdays are showing up.
2) Try this fix, it was not my problem but some others have had success with it:
http://www.ehow.com/how7496635iphone-doesnt-update-outlook-calendar.html#ixzz17AIahHEK
3) If you have repeating events that repeat "forever" trim them back to only repeat for a year or two.
(Reset them so they start repeating "now" and go forward for a year or two).
This did help me. I had some repeating events that would not sync.
E.g. I have an uncle that was born in 1898 the "default" event placed in Outlook
started in 1898 and repeated annually forever to remind me of his birthday.
Once I lied in Outlook and said he was born in 1980 it worked OK.
4) The only other idea I have (as my calendar is currently broken as well) is the following:
I have not tried this myself yet, but do see it as low risk - albeit tedious:
* Backup your PST file
* Empty the "Deleted Items" bin INSIDE of outlook
* Delete all the appointments from your calendar
* Add one simple event and try syncing it. If it works contine below
If it does not work ... well you're screwed, I can't help you ;-/
* Start adding your appointments BACK to your calender from the
Deleted items bin. Sync. and test, repeat until you find the "bad" calendar event.
I don't know what it is that trips up the sync, and there are no logs I can find
that would help identify the problem. Once you find the "problem child" leave that
Item in the delete bucket and re-create it from scratch.
Hopefully you'll get some better suggestions ... than this sorry approach ;-/

So when I installed the most recent updates for microsoft office 2011 for mac, my ical info disappeared. Still have the info on my Office calendar but it's no longer on ical. It's also been removed from my phone. How can I get outlook to sync with ical

When I installed the recent updates for Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, my iCal calendar was wiped out, as was the calendar on my iPhone. I'd rather use iCal than Office and was attempting to phase Office out altogether. Now, all of my information is on the Office calendar but not iCal. The iCloud version of my iCal calendar is not up to date. In any event, I couldn't figure out how to send that info to the iCal on my mac or my phone. How can I sync my Office calendar info to iCal? If that's not possible, how can I get my Office calendar to sync with my iPhone? All of my sync services are set up in iTunes and on my phone. This happened to me once before and I spent hours on the phone with Apple and on the web trying to work it out. I NEED MY CALENDAR!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

As that's not an Apple product, you may get more help by using Microsoft's Office for Mac forums:
Office for Mac forums
The other concern I have is that Office 2011 requires an Intel-based Mac and you posted in the older iMac (pre-Intel or "PPC") forums. If you have an Intel-based iMac (Apple menu > About this Mac..." will say "Intel" if you do) then I think you'll get faster and more accurate ansers to other questiosn in the Apple forums for newer iMacs here:

I can't sync the calender on my iPhone to my Ipad on my Mac

I just got an iPad 2. I have an iPhone and MacBook Pro. I synced my iPad and all the information from my iPhone synced except my calender. I can't figure out how to get my calender information from my iPhone to my iPad.

Thanks for trying to help me. I think I'll have to go see the guys at the Apple store.
I thought I was using google calender, but turns out I'm not. In fact, I can't figure out where my calender information is besides on my iPhone.
I did get 13 years worth of calenders to sync, but nothing from Jan. 2012 to present. I still don't know where they are on my computer.
Some of the events I can only see in the List mode in the calender on my iPad. I'm sure this goes back to when I got my phone 2 years ago and had to transfer 11 years of calenders and hundreds of contacts from my Palm to my iPhone. I had a PC then and the ATT guys couldn't help me at all. I finally figured out a way to do it through Goggle. It was a real pain and took hours and once it was done I promptly forgot how I did it.
When I got my Mac I just plugged in my phone and everything was synced.
Anyway, thanks for your help.

I backed up my iphone to iCloud and sold my iphone how can I get my pictures from the backup without another iphone ?

Hi there I backed up my iPhone 4s to iCloud then sold my phone
if I go on my ipad and go into iCloud-manage storage the back up is there
But how do I get all the pictures from my iphone backup without another iphone ore using the ipad
I need the pictures on my PC/windows phone

1. Create a backup of your iPad to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud
2. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
3. Erase the iPad and restore the iPhone's iCloud backup to the device.
4. Transfer any and all photos & videos on your iPad to your computer.
5. Restore the iPad backup you reated in step #1 back to the iPad.

Since I updated my Iphone to IOS 7, I have lost all calender entries oin my phone and it won't sync calenders on iitunes. Anyone have this problem?

I believe anilsudhakaran meant sign out and in with your Apple ID for iTunes.
Also, do a hard reboot of your phone. I know that always helps me.
This doesn't delete anything
Google how to do it if you are not sure how to do it.

How can I get Outlook to sync with my iPad?

I have a Dell Latitude with a new hard drive and Office 2010. I installed iTunes and successfully synced my iPhone 5 with my Oulook contacts and calendar. Then I immediately synced my computer and my iPad Air. While I was successful in syncing my contacts, my calendar did not sync and actually deleted all previous events on my iPad's calendar. I have tried to sync several times without any success? What should I try next?
Thanks.

Had you previously synced your iPad to another computer?

Do you see your Outlook calendar on the iCloud website?

You don't mention anything about the music files on your computer that were used to copy into iTunes. If you have moved those files to a different location on you PC you will get that error message from iTunes. This is because iTunes will look for the music files in the original location that they came from on your PC when they were copied. If this is the case you have to tell iTunes to look in the new location for the music files or move the music files back to the original location.

FYI: It seems it was a network problem with my WinXP PC. After complete deletion and new installation of XP and iTunes my iPhone will be recognized correctly, Wifi synchronization works (mostly) fine.

I purchased an album from iTunes using my desktop computer. All of the songs from the album are on my computer and play perfectly. When I try to sync the songs to my iPhone or iPad, I get an error message that says 3 of the songs can not be downloaded to these devices. Any ideas?

Thanks very much I have contacted them via this. Just hope they respond quickly- rather annoing! Greatly appreciated though

Interesting observation. Thanks for sharing.
Did you have a technical support question?

I have some songs that have an exclamantion point next to them and I can't get them to sync. I had to move them manually into a playlist and succeeded in doing that but now the playlist won't sync. What's the problem?

I have the same problem and I am very upset. I have heard that Apple/iTunes is removing all songs that are unlicened for this type of download. Apple does not want to be responsible for pirated music. Much of mine is down loaded from CD's. I have to go to search and put in every song and then, if found, put it into My Music then back into iTunes. WHAT A HASSLE. I don't remeber reading anything about this. 224 songs so far. NOT HAPPY.

On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Calendars off then back on then reset the iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
On the iMac, open System Preferences > iCloud. Deselect the box next to Calendars then reselect that box then restart your iMac.

Thanks! But seriously why have Apple disabled the info sync on iTunes? By 'Upgrading' to Mavericks I've inadvertantly disabled my Apple mobile devices from fulfilling their function. Come on Apple work with us here!!
Apple told developers they were removing that service over two years ago. The developers that depended upon it should have done something about it.
Why did they remove it? My guess is because it was pretty crappy, was difficult to maintain, and wasn't a good solution for multiple devices that could get the info without tethering to a "base" Mac.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.
