Can't sync events entered on the iPhone into Outlook

I am trying to use Outlook 2003 to backup my calendar. I have not been able to get it to sync, have tried everything that has been suggested on the forum, but no luck. I would be happy if I could just get the calendar events that I have entered in my iPhone to download to Outlook so that I have a backup of it, but the option in iTunes that says "Put new events created on this iPhone into the calendar" is greyed out. Is there some way for me to just take my calendar as it stands on the iPhone and push it into Outlook...or some calendar that could sit on my desktop?

The first question I wold have to trouble shoot your problems is: Do you have an active open account on Outlook? Do you have more then one account active on outlook? When you connect your iPhone to iTunes and go to the second Tab...What boxes do you have selected? Are you set up to Auto or Manual Sync?
Currently I have one active account in Outlook that is displaying my MSN account that was IMAP'd through izymail.com. All of my sync modes are set to manual so that I can control what and when my sync occurs. All of my boxes are checked in the second tab to sync to the outlook account that I have established. If this does not help then please answer the questions above so that I or someone else can assist you further.
Good Luck

Can't sync events created on the iPhone back to Outlook or iCal

after upgraded my two iPhones to 1.1.4 I cannot sync events created in the iPhone back into Outlook on my Vista machine or iCal on my Macbook (for the second iPhone). I searched the forum but found no answer other than a RESTORE... I already needed a RESTORE in one of the iPhones as music data got corrupted after upgrade (it created a huge OTHER file.
1.1.4 fixed bugs and added quite a few!
any advice out there other than RESTORE? As always the helpful agent from apple support suggests restoring the iPhone and denies anybody else having issues.

i have itunee 11 and iphone 4 and i can't sync my apps to the iphone. it just stops on "determining apps to sync".please help

it is an itouch, i buy apps from the app store, they are purchased, they show up in my app section but when i try to sync them to my itouch they do not show up in on the itouch. i have tried to atuthorize and deauthorize the computer also few times, rebooted computer and still nothing. when i restore the firmware and have everything reinstall all over again the apps music and such, all show up. however if i buy a new app and try to sync it with the itouch it does not show up despite the fact that the computer states 'installing "......" whatever app. it happens with numerous apps, there is no rhyme and reason to why certain apps just do not show up on the itouch. the authorize/deauthorize deal does nothing to rectify the situtaion. any other ideas ?

HT201269 How can i sync my contacts from the iPhone to my mac pro?

Hi
I am trying to sync my contacts on my IPhone to the mac pro but it seems not work.
Any one faced this issue and solved, Please advice.
Regards

If you want your contacts to remain in sync across iOS devices, then you can use any Exchange-type of account. For example, once you have a "clean" set of contacts with no duplicates, you could upload that into iCloud so that any change you make from your iPad would be reflected on your iPhone. You don't have to use iCloud for e-mail since your devices can pull a contact from iCloud for use with GMail or Yahoo.
But you can also set GMail up as an Exchange account if you don't want to use iCloud. The GMail account type in iOS is not Exchange, but you can set it up that way:
http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?l=en&topic=14252&answer=138740
The benefit of doing this is (a) your Google contacts remain in sync across all your devices, and (b) your GMail will then support Push notification. Just one caveat, when you do this then the default behavior when you delete an e-mail is such that it is archived to your "All Mail" folder in GMail. The only way to change this behavior is to use your device's Safari to navigate to m.google.com/sync and change the setting on Google's server for each of your devices. This is a one-time thing, but important if you want trashed e-mails to really go to Trash.
As far as Contact Management Software options to clean things up, Google search is the only recommendation I have

Can you sync email sent from the iPhone to Mail.app?

When you send an email from iPhone, can you have it sync'd to the Sent folder of your Mail.app on your Mac? I had a look through the iPhone user guide and couldn't find the answer to this quesion.

It seems this is an unfair
disadvantage for POP users.
disconnekt,
I think your perception on this issue comes from an unwillingness to accept that POP email was never designed to take advantage of the features you want. It was conceived as a single client/server email retrieval system. It was nothing to do with "fairness". It is what it is.
Your desire to have the ability to receive, manipulate, and send email using different devices (iphone/desktop/laptop) yet have all those changes synchronized regardless of which device is used is a valid one. Many people (including myself) feel that way. However, I doubt Apple will spend significant development resources in finding a POP solution to this because it has already been done.
It's called IMAP accounts.
In fact, apple has adopted this protocol in it's own email services, .mac My guess is that most development resources will likely be spent along enhancing functionality in their chosen platform, not POP
Unfortunately, that still leaves you in your current situation. If you can accept what POP is (and what it is not), you can take action on a possible solution rather than wait/hope one will be developed for you. I would advise slowly transitioning to an IMAP account as this seems to be more suited to your needs. I had 4 POP accounts exclusively until I got tired of being limited to checking and sending all my mail from home. I didn't want to check or send mail on my laptop, because once I did, those messages would have already been "downloaded/uploaded" and thus unavailable/unseen when I checked mail on my home computer. My mail ended up scattered across 2 devices. (sound familiar?) I dreaded changing email accounts because I felt I would lose important contacts in the process. In reality, it was no more devastating than a home address change when you move (which I'm sure you've done before)
Here's how I did it:
1. Get an IMAP account. (.mac is one. There are many)
2. Most POP accounts allow for auto email forwarding, enable this feature to funneled all your mail to your new IMAP account.
3. Create a signature announcing your new email address and use this on all outgoing email.
4. Continue this until you feel comfortable dropping your old POP account. (I have yet to delete mine and it's been almost 2 years.)
Also note, that you could actually keep your old POP account indefinitely. Senders would just notice that all outgoing mail to you is addressed to a different domain then all incoming mail received from you.
Make the change. Based on what you've want you'll be glad you did.

Can I sync 'Sent Items' on my iPhone to Outlook?

I use a POP email account (from my own domain) on my iPhone 4 and have the same email account in Outlook 2010 on my PC (running Win7 Ult). When on the road I will answer emails from my iPhone. Those are stored in my 'Sent' folder. How do I sync these Sent emails to my Outlook program so I can keep a record of them on my PC?

Nope I don't think it is possible to sync the sent items folder with pop mail... But you can with imap mail so you could choose to switch your email to imap assuming your domain name provider supports imap. Most of them do. If you google imap v pop mail you will see the difference as to how the email works but in brief with pop your email is fetched from the server and with imap it remains on the server and you view the email through outlook and apples email app. You can choose which folders you want to see including your sent items folder.
Hope that helps.

How can I organize my contacts con the iphone into groups

hi
Need some help!!!! on my outlook i have all my contacts organize on groups but when i sync into the iphone the groups doesn´t appear, what does i have to do to make appear my groups? by the way i have a pc saddly

Since you have Windows, one way to organize your contacts into groups is to sync them with MobileMe and create the groups there. Presumably the groups you have created will transfer to your iPhone when you sync with MobileMe. (I would presume that groups in Outlook would get copied to MobileMe).
As for me, I have a Mac, so I only have create groups in my address book on the iMac. It syncs them with MobileMe, which syncs them with my iPhone. Simple.

How can I sync my contacts from the iPhone to google contacts while checking for duplicates?

I have been using Outlook to sync contacts and it works well. Now I would like to get rid of Outlook and put the contacts that I have into my gmail and Yahoo contact accounts and keep all 3 in sync. When I do it the first time, I'd like to be able to check for duplicates. Is there a way to do this?

If you're trying to sync an iCloud calendar, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar on your iPhone and make sure you have selected your iCloud calendar as your default.

Events entered on my iPhone 5 (7.1.1) calendar will not sync on my Mac 10.8.5. However events entered on the Mac will sync to my iPhone.

Thanks for the input. Did ensure both were set the same. They weren't. Synced settings, restarted iCal and iPhone. Still only syncing in one direction. Any other suggestions? Thanks again.

TS3999 My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

My iPad is not syncing calendar events via iCloud that I enter on my iPhone 5, but events entered on the iPad are syncing with the iPhone.

On you phone, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar and make sure you have selected a calendar listed under your iCloud account as your default. If not, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.
If your settings are already correct, or if after changing them it still isn't syncing properly, make sure all the calendar events on your phone are in your iCloud calendar. If not, enter any missing events either on your iPad, or on icloud.com from your computer. Then, after your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn Calendars to Off. When prompted, choose Delete from My iPhone. After a minute or so, turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendar back to your phone. Then try adding a new event on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.

HT1296 Events entered in my iPhone 3GS will no longer sync to my Outlook 2010 calendar - what's up?

Some change in iOS I suppose makes it so events entered in my iPhone 3GS will no longer populate my Outlook 2010 calendar when I sync the devices through iTunes. It used to be that events entered in each place would populate the other locationg when synced. No longer!
There are two calendars in iPhone now and I don't know why.
Can anyone help me find out what's going on?

Ok! So I just came across this randomly in another thread from user Kempas (thanks a lot!). It totally fixed the problem so I thought I'd repost it!

Ok, I'm assuming everyone who is having trouble with Windows 7 (64-bit? mine is) has tried the following solution I found over at en.kioskea.net posted by a guy called Steve78545 (hey, you got to give a dude his due).
It's maybe because Windows 7 uses a MTP driver instead of the USBAAPL by default, and what you need is an 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver' which you might not have in 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' (check it and see). If you haven't got it, as good ol' Steve78545 suggested:
Update the driver by expanding 'Portable Devices' from the list, right click Apple iPhone/iPhone and select 'Update Driver Software'. Then select 'Browse My computer...'
Copy the following path and paste it in - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers - then hit 'Next'.
Let the thing do it's...thing an it should work. At least it did for me, so I hope it helps a few people out!

Google contacts and calendar events entered on my iPhone 5s are not syncing with my google account.

Newly entered contacts and calendar events entered on my IPhone 5s are not syncing to google.
Facts that may be pertinent:
- I switched from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5s and did the easy option of having it automatically set up like my previous phone, so I did not change any part of the setup. It is possible that it stopped syncing at that time, based on which contacts have synced and which haven't.
- My gmail account is set up as Exchange, with Mail, Contacts, and Calendars set to sync.
- Server: m.google.com, Use SSl is on, S/MIME is off (I don't actually know what these are, but maybe they matter?)
- Fetch New Data / Gmail account is set to Push
- Contacts and Calendar Default Account is Gmail
- In the Contacts app under Groups I have only GMAIL checked.
I've read that Google recommends CardDAV, which I gather is not the same as Exchange?
I'm afraid to delete anything and start over, for fear of losing my contacts.
Is there a difference between the gmail account I set up and what the Contacts app calls GMAIL?
If there is anything I should communicate about how things are set up on the Google end, let me know.
Thanks in advance for help!

Hello Marsden,
Try this...
Go to the isync program on your Mac.
Go to Preferences in the main menu
Hit Reset Sync History
I'm pretty sure this is how I fixed it... so far so good.
Let me know if that works for you!

Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! :( it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful.

Yes, windows to Mac too.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
