Can't sync iPhone4 with Outlook 2010 Calendar

It worked for the first month I had the phone, but now I get an iTunes error message indicating "...sync server failed to sync the iPhone.". What now?

Please visit the following link from apple.com/support to sync the 2010 calendar.

Why are you running Mobile Me? calendars and contacts are no longer available there, your Hotmail address may be OK for an Apple ID but wion't work for email in iCloud,
Outlook is dreadful anyhow, use emClient for iCloud.

Can't sync iPad with Outlook 2010 since creating iCloud account

Ever since I created an iCloud account, my iPad will not sync my calendar with my Dell laptop running Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. It worked fine prior to adding the cloud. I have done a hard reset of the iPad with no luck either. I only use one Apple device (iPad). Do i even need a cloud account as I sync/backup my iPad to my laptop and Android phone daily? Help, I need to get my info back on the iPad.

I was able to fix it somehow by deleting the calendars on my iPad and iPhone and turning off iCloud calendar it finally let me select outlook calendar to sync by also selecting to replace calendar in advanced settings. But only by selecting both. It only took 6 months for Apple to allow me to do so because I have selected the outlook calendar before and wouldn't sync.
I have Windows 7 and MS Outlook 10

Hello, I try to sync ICloud with Outlook 2010 on a PC and it work well. When I tried to sync iCloud on a second computer (PC) with Outlook 2010 it didn't work. My question is, can I sync ICloud on two different Outlook account? Thank you.

Hi nprguy,
It sounds like an earlier version of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software installed on your PC may be conflicting with this installation.
I would advise uninstalling both versions of the BlackBerry Desktop Software then reinstalling the latest version.
The following KB articles should provide more information on the issue.
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" when uninstalling BlackBerry Desktop Manager www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10220
"Error 1316" InstallShield error is encountered when uninstalling or upgrading the BlackBerry Desktop Software

How can I sync iPad with Outlook?

How can I sync iPad with Outlook?

Connect your iPad to your computer and open iTunes. Look under 'info' and you may need to scroll down. The option will be there to sync your outlook calendar (or more) with the iPad. Choose what you want and sync to 'save' the settings.

Can you sync Itunes with outlook for mac

Can you synce Itunes with Outlook fo MAC 2011?

Not directly. What you do is set Outlook to sync to Apple's databases (Address Book, iCal, etc) via Outlook's Tools menu -> Sync Services and then you can sync to an IOS device, which is what I presume you mean.

IPhone 4 (iOS5) not syncing with outlook 2010 calendar

Hi Guys,
My iPhone 4 has been working great for the last few months up until recently. I have been able to sync with outlook 2010 for both my contacts and calendar using iTunes sync in the past with no problems.. I went to conference last week and got back in the office sync’d yesterday. Things are not right. My contacts sync, but calendar does not sync either way (phone to PC - PC to phone). I upgraded to iOS5 and reloaded iTunes and I'm having the same problem. I also noticed that my sync is taking much, much longer (like there is a conflict somewhere.) The contacts still sync, but no new/changed calendar entries. Anyone have this problem and have any ideas how do I can fix it? Is it a simple setting switch on the iPhone or iTunes? It's getting very frustrating!! One of my office mates has been taunting me with his android phone and I’m starting to feel like I might have to do something drastic to get my calendar back on my phone…
Outlook version is MS Pro Plus 2010 - 14.0.5128.5000 (64-bit)
iTunes version is 10.5.0.142
iPhone version is 5.0 (9A334)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey, man. Sorry I have no solution, but it may not hurt to know you are not the only one.
I uprgraded a 3GS to iOS 5, set it up to sync with iCloud initially, and then switched back to sync with PC as before. It seems that my calendar was syncing at first, but within a few days it just stopped.
I also recall a ton of weird "sync conflicts" that I had to resolve, even though the iTunes conflict reslover showed information that was identical in Outlook and iPhone calendar.
Notes and contacts sync just fine with Outlook 2003 under Windows Vista for me, but calendar will not sync at all any more, either direction.
I have tried most of the suggestions, including restoring iPhone and creating a whole new user account in Windows and tried syncing iPhone and Outlook via iTunes that way (and both USB and wifi). I did not seem to have any better success.
This is a disaster. So far I have just been using Notes to MANUALLY sync calendar info between devices.
I have never given nearly as much thought to Android as I have lately.
It may be time to call Apple Support, but my previous experiences with them (and the "Geniuses" at the store) were underwhelming.

ICloud not syncing with Outlook 2010 Calendar

First I should say that I had successfully setup iCloud with all my devices: iP4, iPad2 and Win7 PC with Outlook 2010. A few days ago I had to reinstall Outlook. I re-installed iCloud via Control Panel and successfully downloaded the iCloud Calendar to Outlook. All the devices sync with iCloud but Outlook does not. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Glad that romlee's fix worked for Donawat! This iCloud situation is just a fiasco if you work in Windows and use Outlook.
I had been having problems with accurate syncing ever since I downloaded the OS 5, which is obviously not meant for the iPhone 4. (Phone has been glitchy too but that is another story.)
Previously, I was on Outlook 2007 with Windows 7 home premium. While I could get things to work, I was having the same problem that others have: duplicate entries, incorrect entries, entries that just won't show up, etc. After lots of research (and many what I consider wasted hours) I was able to find a fix that worked for me.
First of all, I want to point out that one of the reasons it doesn't work well is because Apple created a file format for iCloud that does not create a .PST file (which is what Outlook uses). Apple should just be up front about this as they have severely damaged their reputation with Windows users who have iPhones, plus they are wasting a lot of people's time.
Second, unless you already have a me.com account, you can no longer create one.
Third, I came to realize that iCloud does not update its records. It just keeps adding the same things over and over again which I theorize causes the duplicates. Even if you merge the calendars, it just creates new calendar threads (the new colored dot entries in calendar lists).
My goal was to GET RID OF iCLOUD. If you want to keep using iCloud, what I did probably won't help you but please read it and see if an idea to solve your problem arises out of it.
Before I had yesterday's problem, I took the time and spent the money to upgrade Windows 7 to the Ultimate version, and then updated Office to 2010 from 2007.
After all the files downloaded and installed, I proceeded to try and make syncing with iCloud work. Foolishly, I thought it would work better if I had the newer software.
I ended up spending a total of six hours trying to figure out where my Outlook data went, why my calendar and contacts weren't showing in my personal files, and trying to get it back where it belonged. After more research and hours spent updating my data files, I was able to move things back to Outlook personal folders. What I ended up doing was this:
1) In Outlook 2010, if syncing via iCloud, you will see personal folders and iCloud folders. Open the iCloud folders and look at all the Calendars (it just keeps creating them; there were 5 export to outlook calendars and I think 7 iCloud calendars). Find the calendar that is yours (the one you know is the most recent and has the info you are looking for).
2) When you identify the correct calendar, open it using list view. (You can access that in Outlook 2010 via the View menu, then use the change view button). The list of dates will show up as a list in date order from oldest to newest. Review this entire list and delete all the duplicates or things you don't want to keep. Once this is done, you are ready to move the file.
3) After you have your calendar file the way you want it, still in list view, hit control + a to select all, then press the copy to folder button. A window will open with all your files in it; select the calendar -personal folders file and click ok. Change your view to Calendar and you will see that all the items have moved over. WARNING: because of all the weirdness with iCloud, some of your recurrences and other dates may be missing. I found this happened with recurrences rather than appointments because the appointments are duplicated so many times but some other things may be missing.
at this point, it (the calendar) does not yet show up in outlook today. *You will change your data file in account settings later.*
4) Go back to the iCloud folders and open the contacts. Select list, select all, and then copy to contacts-personal folder as with the calendar items. Check your contacts there and make sure the list has moved.
5) Close outlook.
6) Open iTunes with your phone connected via USB. Under info, switch everything you want to sync back to Outlook. Then close iTunes and unplug your USB connection.
7) Find your iCloud icon under Control Panel. Select "sign out." It is not necessary to keep a copy unless it makes you feel more comfortable. If you have another backup system like Carbonite you should be okay. Of course, it never hurts to make a copy (but if you do, it takes awhile and it is not clear where it ends up).
8) Open outlook again; go to account settings. Under data files, select Personal Folders as the default file. You will still see an iCloud archive on your list after you change it.
9) after you do this, it will take several minutes for Outlook to switch over to the Personal Folders data file. Be patient. After this is done, you will be able to use Outlook 2010 without the iCloud files showing up or interfering with the function of the software or syncing.
10) Once Outlook has successfully switched files, close it again.
11) On your iPhone, go to settings and select the iCloud menu. Turn off iCloud sync on each item you have been syncing. When it asks if you want to keep all the items that iCloud has placed there, select DELETE.
This is an act of bravery; I had no idea what would happen when I did it. However, it worked out fine because it wiped my calendar and contacts clean on the iPhone. No more duplicates. A bit scary because no more ANYTHING but when I synced the phone again, it all came back -- and no dupes.
12) after you turn off iCloud on your phone, plug your iPhone into the USB port, turn on iTunes. After iTunes recognizes your phone, it will sync again. All your contacts and calendar items will be transferred back to your iPhone (and no duplicates!)
I am very pleased that I was able to figure this out, but disgusted at Apple's irresponsibility with claiming iCloud works with everything. It obviously doesn't and I wasted a lot of time and lost some data due to the iCloud.
In summary: This is what I did to get rid of iCloud. If you want to keep it, I don't know how helpful this will be.
Reminder: I did this in a Windows 7 Ultimate environment with Outlook 2010. I also have iTunes 10.5.2 (most recent version). Note: In Outlook 2007, 10.5.2 causes a glitch that claims iTunes can't find Outlook even if it is there.
You can repair the glitch in 2007 by closing all your programs, go to the control panel, then open the Programs menu. Find your Office 2007 program and right click. It gives you the option to repair or uninstall. Select REPAIR and then the windows installer will run. Follow the prompts and then restart. You will be able to see Outlook again from iTunes.
Hopefully, this will help others not waste time trying to make their technology function smoothly!
Thanks to the Apple community for the answers I've received.

Unable to sync with Outlook 2010 Calendar after upgrade to iTune 10.5.1

Hi,
I am using iTunes 10.5.0.142 running on Windows 7 Ultimate Edition and Office 2010 Professional, with iPhone 4S iOS 5.0.1.
After I upgraded to iTunes 10.5.1, I was not able to sync with Outlook's Calendar. However, if I use the option to overwrite all calendar entries from the computer to the iPhone, I was able to get my appointments across. But added new appointments in Outlook did not appear in the iPhone after syncing. Syncing contacts seem to work OK so far.
This was very similar to a problem I had when I moved to iTunes 9.2.1 to get iOS 4.0 back in Dec 2010. This was later resolved in later builds of iTunes 10.0.
Please look into this and see what are the differences in dealing with calendar syncing between iTunes 10.5.0.142 and your latest iTunes 10.5.1.
Thank you.
Regards,
Gordon

I have a solution that seems to fit globally...
When you download and install Office 2010, you have 3 choices that you may not be aware of: 32-bit, 64-bit, click-to-run.
32-BIT
The 32 bit version is your typical office installation. You need to download the installer and let Office integrate with your system, just like every version to this point has done. This works with iTunes.
64-BIT
I haven't heard anything good about this version yet. Reports say it won't allow syncing with iTunes and various other plugins. Installation works the same as the 32 bit version.
CLICK-TO-RUN
This is a new installation method devised by Microsoft.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/office2010/archive/2009/11/06/click-to-run-delivering -office-in-the-21st-century.aspx
It essentially runs Office as a virtualization on a new Q drive. That means there are no EXE files for iTunes to find. Also, iTunes will not be able to locate a default mail program, even though you have Outlook set as such.
Download time is hugely faster with C2R and updates are seamless. Kinda big brothery to me. If you want to reinstall office with a full, true version, log into your MSN account with the account you used to purchase the software, click my account, click download next the the product you purchased, then click Advanced Options and select the 32-bit version. You will need to uninstall Office 2010 before attempting a new install.
Hope this helps.

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!
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10644045#10644045
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!

Can't sync iphone with Outlook

My previous setup was ical on my iphone and mac via icloud. Everything synced great. I have changed from ical to Outlook and and wondering how I can sync my calendar from my iphone to outlook via icloud. Furthermore, I would like to be able to create an outlook event within outlook and it auto sync on my iphone. Any suggestions?

I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support on this exact issue. For me, sync to Outlook 2010 (32bit) worked fine in iTunes 9.2.1, and failed after I upgraded to 10. Apple support finally suggested getting Outlook x64. I'm running Windows 7 x64, but MS Office x86 (How Dell shipped it).
So, before going down that path (which is a bit of major surgery on my PC) I decided to completely remove iTunes 10, and my 10 library from my machine (all my media and apps are shared on another home computer).
I then installed iTunes 9.2.1 on the 'clean' machine, and I did a factory reset on my iPhone.
Low and behold the sync of my contacts, calendar and notes works seamlessly now from 9.2.1. I have tested several appointments and contacts and it works without complaint.
So... hate to tell you this but it looks like the issue is with iTunes 10.
So, for now, I will use my 'work' PC to sync just the contacts, notes and calendar with Outlook 2010 (using iTunes 9.2.1). On my 'home' PC I will sync my media and apps with iTunes 10. I've tested this, and it works fine.
Not an ideal solution, I'm lucky to have access to two machines. I'm convinced the problem is with iTunes 10. If you can, go back to iTunes 9.2.1 (there is a backup of you Library itl file you can use (the version 10 ITL won't work with 9.2.1)
Apple needs to fix 10 ASAP.

Cannot sync ipad with Outlook 2010 contacts. help

I called techsupport when I was unable to sync my Outlook 2010 contacts with my Ipad2. The techie told me I could only sync from earlier versions of Outlook (seems kinda dumb). She said I could sync from my gmail contacts but when I tried this gmail told me "25% of the content in your content will change on your computer". Ideas?

The iPad manual says :
You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Microsoft Outlook Express), Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one application at a time.)
So you should be able to sync contacts from Outlook 2010. I don't think Outlook 2010 was supported on the original iPad until iOS 4.2+ was installed, but the iOS on the iPad 2 has (I think) always been high enough.
What happens when you try ?

Syncing notes with Outlook 2010

When I attempt to sync Notes with Outlook, all the notes at both ends i.e. the PC and iPad revert to a date some weeks ago. If I change the same note on both the PC and iPad I would expect a sync conflict, but again the note reverts to a copy (from somewhere) that is several weeks old. If I change either end and sync, again, the notes revert.
How can I fix this?

Ok, well after looking at everything, I decided that the best solution was to uninstall an App called "Tango", as it seemed to 'mess' with contacts directly, and I only use it with 1 person, so switching back to Skype (plus Tango sends/shares lots of personal
info, location, and keeps changing it's access rights and doing stuff when you're not looking - I'm sure some people love it, but for me, it's a belts and braces get rid of anything that might have 'contributed' to this issue).
Found my un-sync'd contacts and emailed them to myself, then deleted the Exchange active-sync account. Checked what was left, found google had managed to sync some stuff, cleared that up too!
RE-created the account on the S4 - only need the email and password, as it finds the server and sets itself up automatically (I guess it did that previously).
All is now working, after about 5mins the data had been re-populated and it sync's new changes instantly. But I will monitor from time to time to check that new contacts or added numbers etc do sync. My best guess is that some index or other data became corrupt.
Just one of those things (or had I been tango'd?!).
On the Truncating Notes Issue, the S4 (realised that it's running Android 4.3) does chop a note but only if edited, at 1001 chrs. However unlike others, it seems to only truncate the note if you actually edit the note field, so adding a phone number or removing
one, leaves the note field intact!
To summaries other devices behaviour with the Contact record Notes Field:
- iPhone 3GS (on iOS 6.1.3) truncates at 32,777 chrs (so pretty big notes!)
- Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8020 - Android 4.1.1) chops at about 1,000chrs, even if just adding a phone number to the contact - so not even editing the notes field
- HTC One X (4.2.2) at 5,122 chrs (when editing any part of the contact)
I hope this might help someone in the future if they have similar problems ...
cheers
