Can't synch calendar wirelessly

I can't get calendar to synch wirelessly (will only synch manually). I found other posts with people experiencing the same problem, which led me to the following suggestion:
Uninstall the current version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
Install BlackBerry Desktop Manager version 4.3 or earlier (I'm running 5.0.1 and my IT guys did a wireless activation, which I surmise means we're running BES 4.0 or later).
However, I ran into a dead end when trying to download DM 4.3, as I found another string of posts that end with DM prior to 4.7 are no longer supported by RIM. Can somebody help, either with downloading DM 4.3, or synching calendar wirelessly with DM 4.7 or later?
All this without asking the obvious question of why in the world would RIM stop supporting wireless calendar synchronization, which (other than email) is one of the main reasons for having a bby in the first place!

Hello miginsf and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Does your Address Book, Memos and Tasks sync wirelessly?
If you are using BlackBerry Enterprise Service then you should have a Desktop [CICAL] Service book (found under Options -> Advanced Options -> Service Book)
Also, to check your Calendar has been enabled for wireless, in your BlackBerry Calendar hit the Menu key and go to Options. Under Calendars you should see Desktop. If you select this Calendar, you should Yes for Wireless Synchronization.
To synchronize your Calendar wirelessly, do don't need the Desktop Manager. However, if you are not using the BlackBerry Enterprise Service, then you would need the Desktop Manager. What is the mail client you use for your Calendar (Outlook? Groupwise? Lotus?)
Let me know what settings you have.
Thanks!

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...

After upgrading to IOS 8 can't synch calendar

After upgrading to IOS 8 my calendar won't synch. If I accept an invitation on my phone I can see it on my phone but I have to accept if separeately on my PC. Then, if I delete it from my mail on my pc it removes it from my calendar on my phone. This is extremly frustrating. I have read the suggestions of turning phone on and off, doing the soft re-boot. Tried it all and nothing works.

That happens sometimes
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:

Run Time error - can't synch calendar or contcts

I plugged my 8700 into the desktop while the inbox was archiving, by mistake. Everything froze and I had to re-boot the computer. Ever since, synching with my desktop is broken. I get a message that says Run Time Error, then it gives the file name C:/ ... /DesktopMgr.exe and says "abnormal program termination" with an OK button. Then it shows the device as disconnected even though it's still attached to the computer.
Any advice appreciated!
Solved!

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.

HT1296 I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7. The basic calendar is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. How can I fix this?

I have a problem synching calendar data between my iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1 & Outlook 2007 on MS7. The basic calendar data transfer is OK but the birthdays (little box icon) are a day early & cannot be changed to the correct date. The birthday entries in my Outlook contacts have correct dates.How can I fix this?

The following peocess corrects the calendar entry:
edit the contact & change the birthday, save the change; edit the contact & change the birthday to the correct value, save the change again. The calendar entry then displays on the correct date. Alternatively as a temp solution I can just de-select the "birthdays" calendar which stops the icon being displayed.
Thanks for your advice, I think that it's n going to be a slow process to fix all the entries for not much return.

Thanks!

Only if you merge them together into one Address Book/Contacts and iPhoto Album(s), the iPad doesn't have individual logins/usernames (with their own unique data) as Mac computers allow.

Hi Susan, what OS is Laptop running?

Can I synch contacts and calendar with outlook on my office computer and media in family itunes library on my home computer?

I am purchasing a iphone4s. Can I synch contacts and calendar with outlook on my office computer and media in my family itunes library on my home computer? If so, how?

I'm having the same issue. Upgraded my 3G to OS4 which wiped out my contacts from the phone. I also use CompanionLink (Express) to sync ATC with Outlook and iTunes and the phone. Have spent hours/days on the phone with second level Apple tech support to no avail. CompanionLink IS syncing with Outlook but Outlook isn't syncing with the phone. Have tried syncing to Outlook directly (without CompanionLink) but no good result. Tried syncing through MobilMe. Can sync all Outlook contacts from my computer to me.com through MobileMe but does not sync with the phone. Tech support suggested trying to sync fewer contacts at a time as their might be a problem with the contacts file. DID manage to get 4000 of my 5600 contacts back in but can't get any more in. Previously had NO problem syncin all contacts directly and through CompanionLink. VERY frustrating.
Also, I use Outlook Express for email. Since installing MobileMe I get an error message saying that Outlook isn't my default mail handler and I need to change the settings to make it the default mail handler. I DO NOT have "sync mail" checked as I'm not trying to sync my email accounts...only contacts and calendars. Made Outlook the default mail handler which stops the error message but still can't sync the contacts and I want to keep Outlook Express for email.

I can't sync Calendars after upgrading to 1.2

I've just upgraded my iTunes to version 7 and my 5th Gen iPod to version 1.2.
Before this I could sync the calendar in Outlook quite happily (I always got a warning from my security software first)
Now it says that it is unable to sync the Calendar.
What do I need to change to get this to work ?
Windows XP

I've had the same problem since upgrading to v. 7 of itunes and a host of other problems have also appeared.My events on the calendar have been wiped out on my iPod and I have been unable to sync to get them back.
On frequently asked questions I found this possible answer which is cut and pasted below. I think we may not be able to synch Outlook anymore because it says to open up and drag, not sync, but other calendars might work. What is going on, Apple? I need a patch soon.

Question: How do I update my calendar on my iPod?
Answer: iTunes can automatically transfer calendar data stored in iCal to your iPod. To enable syncing of your iCal calendars:
1. Open iTunes and connect your iPod to your computer.
2. Select the iPod icon in the source pane of iTunes.
3. Click the Contacts tab.
4. Enable the "Sync iCal calendars" checkbox.
iPod also supports industry-standard iCalendar and vCalendar files, which can be exported by many applications including Microsoft Entourage, Microsoft Outlook, and Palm Desktop. iCal also works with the iPod calendar. Simply drag your iCalendar or vCalendar files to your iPod, and you can access your calendar even when you are away from your computer.

ITunes could not synch calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected

Started getting an error message during iPhone synch about two weeks ago: "iTunes could not synch calendars to iPhone because the iPhone disconnected"
- Am synching to my Outlook calendar on a system running Windows 7
- Everything else (contacts, podcasts, audiobooks, etc.) synchs just fine
- Tried totally resetting the iPhone and restoring the firmware
- Tried deleting the backups, preferences and resetting synch history
- Tried forcing a rewrite/replacement of the calendar database using iTunes
Nothing sems to work...still get the same message about not synching the calendar due to the iPhone disconnecting, but of course, it really hasn't disconnected since I can get it to immediately synch anything else.
Any ideas out there? Thanks...

Thanks midwestcraft. I had this problem and your answer solved it for me.
Thought this further info may be of use to some who wants more historic dates in their calendar.
I had "do not sync events older than" unchecked and the input field set to "0". When I changed it to 180, it worked perfectly. I've found that I can increase this number to "545" - anything higher causes the error. This seems to coincide with some strange multiple-entry events in my calendar.
Don't know if this will be a clue for somebody to fix the issue.

HELP- PALM TX won't synch calendar

Palm TX on bluetooth synch gets stuck every time in synching Calendar/datebook. Won't cancel just runs on and on. I have to close it on the laptop using task manager (Vista).
Any help would be appreciated
Post relates to: Tungsten T

There may be database corruption causing the issue. Click on the following link for the program called DbFixiT. This program has a trial version that you can download and install on your Palm OS device. The trial version will scan for database corruption and then report the corruption. You can then find the records causing the problem and fix them yourself or you can purchase the program and have it automatically fix the records.
http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm
To install the program, set all conduits to "do nothing" except quick install or install if using Palm desktop 6.2.
After you install the program on the handheld, run the scan and also scan for Blobs in the calendar.
After you clean-up the database on the handheld, set the conduits in hotsync to handheld overwrites desktop and perform a hotsync.
If you are sync'ing to a 64bit OS, there are 64bit USB drivers avail from Acceca. Go to the Windows hotsync section of the forums and look for the sticky thread with the link to the drivers.
Once you have the data corrected and are sync'ing all your data, I would suggest you export your data for disaster recovery.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a separate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb2/common/article/28734_en.html
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.hpwebos.com webpage.

Blackberry Link - not recognizing device and does not allow synching calendar and contacts

I cannot get Blackberry Link to work properly on my laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro. It takes a very long time to open and it does not allow me to sign in saying there is no internet connection and I cannot get around resolving this issue. That is problem 1. Problem 2, Blackberry Link sometimes recognizes the device and sometimes it does not. Problem 3, when I do get Link to recognize the device, (it can backup), synching the calender and contacts on the device to Outlook does not work. I try to do a one way synch from the device to outlook and it processes but Outlook is not updated (outlook has no contacts or calendar events as I want to pull them off my device).
Any ideas? Thanks.
