Can't sync Outlook with iCal - but only when I activate iCloud

I have seen discussions in the forums about problems syncing Outlook with iCal - however, that is not *exactly* my issue. I can sync them fine, until I put the resulting iCal calendar in iCloud. Then Outook (2011 for Mac) stops syncing with iCal (v. 5.0.3). I take it out of iCloud, it works. What I want to be able to do is: 1. Sync Outlook with iCal. 2. Sync iCal with my iPhone via iCloud.
I used to manually sync my iPhone (4s) with my work computer (which apparently I could go back to doing if I change the settings in my iPhone?) and just update my work calendar to get it on my phone (my home calendar syncs fine, but it's not integrated with Outlook). I don't want to only use iCal, because I get a lot of Outlook invites for meetings.
Is this a feature that's just not supported by Apple at this time? Do I need to upgrade my O/S? I'm using Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion).
In short, I just want my Outlook calendar on my iPhone (ideally, without having to manually sync).

What kind of iPad and iPhone are you working with.. and what Software version on (5.1.1) is the most recent..

Sync Outlook with iCal

Hi,
I use Outlook and id like to sync it with iCal so that i can use iCloud to keep my calendar updated on my iPhone 4. The thing is that when I create an event on Outlook I want it to fall into an iCloud calendar on iCal. How do I do this?

Grateful TL,
You will probably need to access your Exchange server via Entourage to get the Calendar. If you are running a recent update of Entourage, Entourage can sync to your iCal calendar using SyncServices. SyncServices are used in conjunction with iSync or iTunes to sync with devices. Resetting Sync History is often a good troubleshooting step to try with any syncing issues.
As for your syncing with your Treo, that may be best asked in the iSync forum. However, generally it may work, but if it doesn't the iSync devices page suggests using other software.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
If you Treo is Palm OS based, you may be able to set it up like any other Palm OS device and sync. These article give instructions on setting it up to sync via USB or Bluetooth:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302120 (USB)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302227 (Bluetooth)
If your Palm Treo was provided by Verizon, it may have come with syncing disabled, in favor of Verizon's over the air syncing service. This article explains how to enable syncing so that it can Sync via iSync and Palm Desktop:

Hope this helps,

I can't sync Outlook with IPad and IPhone with the new itunes. Any solution?

Since the new version of Itunes. A lot of things don'r work. I need to be able to sync again with Outlook.

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Can"t Sync calandars with iCal os 10.5.x and Palm 755P

No matter what I try the calandars won't sync. I have exported and re imported ical and address book databases, restarted the computer.
I am also using mark space. I have had it work before many months ago so I know it's possible.
I welcome any help. I am so frustrated.
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Verizon)

Click on the folder in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon, drag the folder named Library to the desktop, log out, and log back in. This can also be done with parts of the Library folder if you don't want to move the entire folder at once.

Can I sync a single iCal calendar only and not all my calendars?

I use iCal at work and at home. I have two calendars: work and family. I use my .Mac account to sync my two calendars between my home computer and work computer. While at work today I subscribed to several of my employees' iCal calendars so that we could coordinate our schedules. However, now those employee calendars are being sync'd to my home iCal.
Is there a way to continue using my .Mac account to sync my home and work calendars but not those of my employees??? Thanks in advance!
Joe

Thanks for the thought. I just tried that and when I select .Mac in iSync it tells me I no longer use iSync to sync and it opens the .Mac preferences window. The .Mac preferences do not seem to allow specific calendars - just check whether you want "calendars" to sync....
Is there another way?
Joe

Can't Sync IPad with ICal

I tried using MobileMe for about 1 day. I set everything up as I was instructed. After reading about issues people had with MobileMe, I decided not to continue to use it.
I "de-activated" it, thought everything was fine however now everytime I connect my Ipad and Iphone to my computer to sync through ITunes, the calendar info does not sync. Nothing transfers from my Mac ICal to my IPad or IPhone and nothing transfers from my "I" devices to the Mac.
Now what?! Any suggestions on how I might be able to get my devices to sync again?
Thanks!
Ehren

I want add to myself to the list of having this problem so hopefully apple will see it..iMac also , mobile me for two years and just started with last upgrade I was a beta user of the cal also

Trying to sync outlook 2011 with iCal but iCal only sees Entourage cal.

Trying to sync outlook 2011 with iCal but iCal only sees Entourage calendar. I have selected sync in outlook 2011 and it is correctly syncing with address book. I have installed sp1. Do i need to delete entourage cal from iCal?

This is a forum for the MacBook Pro hardware. As a suggestion, repost your question in the iCal forum, where questions about iCal will be quickly answered.

Is there a mobile phone that can sync with ical, but does not require a data plan?

Thanks for the reply. I already have this info, but have spent several hours trying to cross reference with the product descriptions and the different carriers websites. I was hoping there was an easier way.

How can I sync Outlook Calendars on 2 PCs with my iPhone?

I have a PC at work and a PC at home ... both have MS Outlook 2007 running on them; I have an iPhone 3GS
I want to be able to sync the calendar from BOTH my PCs on to the iPhone and (therefore) with each other. However, I get a message on the second PC that I can't do this as it is only possible to sync calendars (and contacts by the way) with one PC. Is there any solution to this?
My music is happily synced only with my home PC - fully understand the issues that mean you can only sync those libraries with one PC.

Hi,
you don't need MobileMe or anything fancy. I personally sync my Outlook calendar and my Outlook address book with three computers (two at the office and one at home)and besides I run Office 2003 on one, Office 2007 on the other and Office 2010 on the third, so it can't get more complicated than that, but it works 100%.
First sync Outlook with iTunes on one computer, having done that when you try to sync it to another machine, iTunes will recognize that it is synced with another computer and ask you if you want to merge the data, say yes, That's all there is to it.
It does not work for music as you rightly say but as far as Calendars and Contacts are concerned it's flawless and transparent.
If you hit a snag talk back to me.
Cheers.

HT2486 My address book only displays e-mails. How can I sync it with my i-phone to display the address book the same way as my contacts in my i-phone?

Currently my address book only displays e-mail addresses. It uses the portion of the address in front of the @ as the name. How can I sync it with my i-phone 4S that has name/numbers and addresses of my contacts?

Hello there, Seta.
You are correct that this can be done with iCloud. The following Knowledge Base article provides some great instruction for syncing contacts:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
Particularly:
Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes
You can sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes with other applications on your computer. This allows you to keep all your information in sync across multiple computers and iOS devices. The settings for these items are all in the Info tab for your iOS device in iTunes. With your iOS device connected to the computer, select your iOS device. Then click the Info tab.
For details on syncing content on your iOS device with your computer, click the sections below.
Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Contacts" in OS X v10.8, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" in OS X v10.7 and earlier.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
Address Book (Mac OS X v10.7 and earlier)
Contacts (Mac OS X v10.8)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Since upgrading ical on mac can't sync calanders with older generation touch using 3.1.3os now calander on touch generates blank screen...any ideas

since upgrading ical on mac for .me account can't sync calanders with older generation itouch using 3.1.3os now calander on itouch generates blank screen...any ideas

Thank you for suggesting the link. it seems the problem was even simpler than I had thought had I read the FAQ link of the iCal/me upgrade notification ... Apple's latest version of iCal simply does not support versions of the iOS earlier than 4.2. The device I had been using was a first generation touch... Still working ... with out error in good condition despite having been to hades and back... But no longer supported by the newer versions of the iOS and the .ME ical application...
Another beautiful but orphaned device:-(. Like the absence of support for "ancient" apple operating systems, including their more interesting applications, it is simply no longer supported...one must move on to purchase new hardware and it's associated software to keep up with the evolving cloud os. The blank screen ical problem, on the touch, was corrected by performing the standard start up reboot procedure...with no loss of data and a return of the screen interface in the end. Again another example of the really outstanding past efforts to make robust system products. I will try to put my old touch to good use in its new " retirement" status ...use it some where else, like my original 128k Mac ( that still works as well!). Guess it is time to purchase a newer tool ;-)
Thanks again for taking the time to make the effort to assist
