Can't synch calendar appts with outlook 2007 but only in one direction?

i have the verizon iphone and aside from this one MAJOR glitch, i'm loving the phone. no dropped calls, and well, i had a palm centro, so this is a major upgrade in every way except for this one MAJOR glitch...
i'm synching my iphone with my work pc and using outlook 2007 on my company's exchange server. i first synched an ipad last month and now this iphone to my laptop and exchange and i'm having the problem with both actually.
i can add an appointment on my laptop and it pushes to my calendar on my iphone and ipad. BUT if i add an appointment on my iphone or ipad, it doesn't update to my calendar on my laptop. this is very strange!! i can see the added appointment from either one of the idevices on the other, BUT it never pushes to my laptop calendar. however, at the time i add the event, i'm looking at my laptop calendar and in the lower right corner where the exchange status bar is, i can see it quickly switch to say "waiting to update folders" and then it goes back to "all folders are up to date." so it appears that the devices and laptop outlook are communicating in some capacity, but the appointment doesn't make it to it's final destination on the calendar.
it gets even more strange. if i even EDIT an existing event from either one of my idevices, it will ERASE the event on my laptop calendar. to be clear, i don't know if this problem began with the initial intro of the ipad last month as i had never used it to edit calendars and only discovered it when i decided to test all scenarios.
so basically my i devices are communicating and pushing updates between each other, but my laptop updates are only pushing in one direction. if i do anything from either idevice it either doesn't push or it ERASES IT??!!
this is a major problem, but what i'm not certain of is where the origin is. is it iphone related, pc related, exchange related, software, firmware, hardware?
oh and otherwise everything else pushes fine in both directions with outlook exchange: contacts, email, even notes (although iphone notes are useless)
sorry for the lengthy explanation, but i am just stumped.
thanks in advance for any help!! if no luck, guess i'll have to try bellying up to the genius bar...

Found the problem. The iMac G5 that I couldn't connect to (but could connect from) was actually connected to another company's wireless network that is on our floor. After switching back to our network all problems were resolved. A relief...

Yet Another "Can't Synch My iPod With Outlook" Thread

For some time now I've been trying to get my Outlook 2007 to synch calendars with my iPod, an 8GB Nano. Contacts are synching but not calendars. I see many threads here from people with similar or related problems, but no real solutions and no comments from Apple.
I am rigorously following the instructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1418?viewlocale=en_US and the troubleshooting instructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2051?viewlocale=en_US. No dice.
It's interesting that the instructions insist that Outlook will raise the dialog that asks you to confirm iTunes's access to Outlook for either contacts or calendars, but I've never seen it.
Sometimes during a synch I'll see iTunes spend a lot of time saying that it's synching calendars, but in the end there's nothing there on the iPod. At other times it will tell me that it can't synch calendars and that I should quit everything, log out of Windows and log back in again. This never makes a difference.

Answered.....thanks

Multiple email calendars sync with Outlook 2007

I have synced my Outlook 2007 calendar successfully in both directions with my BB Torch 9800 for ages (version 6 Bundle 2921, Desktop V 7.1). The calendar on the BB automatically named itself 'Default".
However, the minute I added a number of email addresses to my BB (to receive email messages on my phone, rather than waiting until I log on to my computer), the sync will only work in one direction - from Outlook to BB, not vice-versa. I note that each email address sets up its own calendar.
When I enter a new appointment on the BB, it goes into the calendar for the first email I added. This calendar does not sync with my Outlook and there is no 'default' calendar option to 'pull down' on the BB when I enter a new appointment.
I have spent a huge amount of time on this including wiping BB and starting again, and looking at as many websites as possible for help. All to no avail.
Can any one help please?

Hello Ljo,
Thank you for your question regarding synchronizing your BlackBerry smartphone Calendar and Microsoft Outlook.
Which BlackBerry model and version of BlackBerry Device Software are you running on it? http://bbry.lv/iubM23
When more than one calendar exists on your BlackBerry smartphone, one calendar is set as the default. To confirm which calendar is set to default, click the Options icon from the Home screen and select Advanced Options > Default Services.
Note: For BlackBerry 6, click the Options icon and select Device > Advanced System Settings > Default Services.
Make sure that the default Calendar is the one that you are adding the new entries on.
If this is the case, please contact your mobile service provider and request that they contact BlackBerry on your behalf.
Thank you.

Calendar duplicates with Outlook 2007 Update

I installed the "Outlook 2007 Update (Windows installer) for Palm OS" and it works fine except for one issue. If I Dismiss a Reminder for a calendar entry in Outlook, or if I Clear an Alert for a calendar entry on the Palm device, the calendar entry will be duplicated when I sync (Conflict Case: Duplicate). Before I installed this update the fact that you Dismissed a Reminder or Cleared a Alert would not flag calendar an entry as having been changed, so I would rarely have to clean up duplicates after syncing. Now I have to sync 2-3 times to deal with the duplicates, which besides being a pain can be a real problem when I'm running out the door trying to make it to an appointment.
I know that I could change the Conflict Resolution setting to Outlook Wins, Handheld Wins, or Ignore, but when I have made a more significant change (e.g. to the subject, start/end time, contents) to both the calendar entry in Outlook and the entry on the handheld I DO want to preserve them both so that I can merge the changes together.
Also, when I delete something on the handheld and Dismiss a Reminder for the same calendar entry in Outlook, the entry is recreated on the handheld. Then I have to find it and delete it again. This is getting real old.
I have searched for this issue on this site and via Google, and found no mention of it. I also went through the Hotsync Troubleshooting post, but that seems more oriented towards more serious issues like Hotsync not working at all, or not being able to find the synced data.
I have a Treo 700p, running Outlook 2007 under Windows XP Pro.
Thanks!
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

I was unable to replicate this issue so my suggestion would be to make sure the Data is correct in Outlook and then change the conduits to Desktop overwrites handheld for one sync and see if the problem continues. Otherwise a hard reset and clean uninstall of the palm software would be where I went next.

Set Exchange 2013 calendar permissions with Outlook 2007

Hi,
I have a new install of Exchange 2013 with ~30 Win 7, Office 2007 clients. Setting permissions on calendars doesn't work properly from Outlook 2007 (a known MS issue). Does anyone know if there is a fix or work around to assign permissions to the calendar?
i.e. where you right click the Calendar folder and set different levels of permission. There is a 'permission' option in OWA but this doesnt appear to work for calendars.
I have tried Outlook 2013 and that works ok. Is there alternate way to save having to move to Outlook 2013?
Thanks.

Hi,
The above issue occurs because of a limitation in how Exchange Server 2013 set Free/Busy permissions. The workaround is to use OWA to set up calendar permissions.
Here is a helpful article about setting up calendar permissions in OWA for your reference.

Calendar problems with Outlook 2007 and plugin

We are trying to roll out outlook 2007 together with outlook connector 7.2u1 at patch level 125361-03. Installation goes ok. But we have a major problem with Calendars.
Having used Sun Mail & Calendar for years our users subscribe to a number of calendars, these show up in outlook in the left hand pane and are selectable to view, which syncs the calendar into outlook - all well and good.
Now the major problem, when syncing another persons calendar to view availability etc, all the reminders get sent to the user viewing the calendar as well as going to the owner - where we have users that subscribe to around 20-30 calendars thats alot of other peoples reminders that pop up on the screen !
Any help greatfully received.

Outlook 2007 supports reminders in non-default calendars which is why you are now seeing this issue and not with say Outlook 2003.
The bug is fixed in patch 125361-05 - you must log a sun support request to get a copy of the patch.

Entourage 2008 calendar sync with Outlook 2007

For all you Entourage 2008 & Outlook users out there, is it possible to schedule calendar appointments in Outlook and have them appear in Entourage?
The opposite of that, scheduling appointments in Entourage and viewing in Outlook, works w/out issue but still scratching my head on why the reverse doesn't.
(btw, backend is Exchange 2007)

*"is it possible to schedule calendar appointments in Outlook and have them appear in Entourage?"*
Yes.
Since neither are Apple products, you should consider posting your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as they would be geared more toward any issue you have then a forum focusing on Apple's own Mail applications:

I am unable to sync my Ipod touch with Outlook 2007, an operation I was able to do with no problem using Outlook 2002.

When I plug my ipod touch into my desktop computer to synchronise it, and in particular with Outlook 2007, I get the error message "Itunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services". Reconnect or try again. All appropriate boxes have been ticked where possible, the callendar and contacts boxes being greyed out and ticking not possible. When using Outlook 2002 this box enabled sync to be carried out with Outlook without a problem. I have uninstalled both Outlook and Itunes and reset my Ipod Touch but get the same results no matter what I do. Apple claim that the Ipod touch is compatible with Outlook 2007 but it appears not to be the case. I am using the latest Ipod software of 4.2.1. Can anyone help me.

Tough spot if you want Apple only SW, no idea where you can get where you want without some decent 3rd party SW, which as a rule outshines Apple's SW by light years.

Well, you can go into setting>mail, contacts, calendars>add new account or through iTunes you can plug your phone into your computer, open iTunes, select your device, then select info. I hope this helps. Au revoir!

Syncronize iPhone with Outlook 2007 calendar

Hi,
I've had my iPhone 4 for a bit over a year. Regarding music, photos and video I'm sync with my private laptop and works well. Contacts and calendar I sync with my work laptop and it was working well up till just recently, when I got a new laptop and now when I'm trying to sync contacts and calendar I get the following message:
"iTunes could not sync calendar to the iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone"
For me this message is a bit like: "I didn't sync, because I couldn't sync". Really doesn't tell me anything.
Anyone that can help me to solve this?
iTunes version is 10 (10.1.4.10) and calendar is Office Outlook 2007.
Thanks!
Mikael

Thanks Stefan79,
I had to uninstall/reinstall and delete sync history and a few of the other steps, but eventually it worked. My iPhone calendar is finally up to date.

Palm Z22 synch. with Outlook 2007

My old HP 4700 series PDA has died. Fortunately, I've been backing it up to Outlook 2007. I tried to replace it with an HP 111, but it simply would not synch. with Outlook and I eventually sent it back. I really don't need WiFi on the PDA, so I'm thinking about going with a much simpler model and the Palm Z22 has been recommended. I just want to make sure that it will easily synch with Outlook 2007 so I don't have to reenter all the contacts, calendar entries and notes that are presently on Outlook. Has anyone had any problems that I should know about? Any comments about the Z22 would also be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, the z22 will work with Outlook. However, Palm is not selling the z22 anymore. You might be able to find it on ebay...

TS2776 After installing iTunes 11, we can no longer sync our iPhone and iPad devices with Outlook 2007 or 2010. We are trying to install iTunes 10 to replace iTunes 11. Anyone have a fix for this?

Since installing itunes 11, we can no longer sync to our Outlook 2007 and 2010 calendars (there may be other Outlook files included in this syncing problem). Using the iCloud is not an option as it does not support Vista OS. We are trying to reinstall iTunes 10.7, however; that is not going particularly well, either. Does anyone have a proven solution for this mess?

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.

Syncing with Outlook 2007 Calendar

Hi All,
I guess that there have been loads of topics raised against this subject. If anyone can help ....
iPhone 3GS (4.1 loaded) with iTunes 10 - attempting to sync with Outlook 2007 calendar on Windows XP. Getting the following error :com.apple.Outlook.client.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.
No problems (so far) with Contacts.
Help please !

Just got my first iPhone a few days ago. I use it to sync to Outlook 2007. The first few syncs went fine, but now changes in either the Outlook Calendar or the Calendar App are not synced to the other. The sync completes without problem (or success).
I guess I'm not the only one having this problem, which is worrying. Even more worrying is the fact that no one seems to be able to resolve this. If it's broken, tell us, and let us know when it's going to be fixed. The fact that we're being ignored is extremely poor...
There's also no documentation I can find about where to look for logs for possible errors, what else might be happening.

How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

Hi,
I installed iCloud PC control panel. I tried to sync my contacts and calendars from Outlook (2007) to the cloud but I gets this message: "Add an e-mail account to Outlook Before setting up iCloud". I have an Hotmail account synced up into my Outlook via Outlook Connector. Can iCloud sync with Hotmail accounts?
What should I do to get my calendars and contacts synchronize to the cloud. Does Outlook 2007 can be synced by the cloud too?

I found a way to fix this, it did the trick for me:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3109623
All you have to do is include a new e-mail account [email protected] (set it as a default) on Outlook with the options that are showed in the thread I linked and you should have the calendars and tasks syncronised. It works perfectly with ipod touch, ipad and Outlook 2010 on windows 7.

Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007?

Can you sync attachments from an iPhone to a Windows PC with Outlook 2007? I would like to receive email on the iphone with attachments and then sync the attachments to a Windows XP PC with Outlook 2007 without Outlook 2007 having to connect to the mail server itself and having to separely download the attachment. Is this possible?
I have only tried one pdf file which downloaded wonderfully to the iPhone. I synced to the PC without the PC being connected to the email account. This also worked except that when I tried to open the attachment on the PC I got a message that the mail wasn't fully downloaded. When I went on=line on the PC, it downloaded the attachment. I would love to have this option because I can't access some email accounts from my corporate computer.

No it is not. The only information synced regarding email accounts is the email account information only and this is in one direction only - from your computer to the iPhone via iTunes.
