Days containing events aren't highlighted in Outlook 2010 Calendar

Hi, I've tried searching for the solution to this issue for sometime however I've had no luck. Let me try explain it correctly....
All of you that use Outlook Calendar will know that when you create an event, then that particular day always remains highlighted. However if I create an event in my iPhone calendar and then sync to outlook, the event is synced but the date isn't highlighted in Outlook.
This may seem unimportant but it is extremely useful considering I use outlook calendar everyday.
I would really appreciate a little help on this one.

I guess the event is not tagged as "busy" but "free"?

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!

Ovi Suite + Outlook 2010 Calendar/Tasks Nightmares...

As of the latest Ovi update (v. 3.1.1.78), my persistent troubles with syncing my phone (e71x) with my Outlook 2010 Calendar & Tasks have gone from bad to intolerable. Previously, only occasional events, such as anniversaries, would be incorrectly changed by Ovi - always one day before they should be.
But now, on every other sync, my ENTIRE task list is moved to the prior respective due dates. I don't know what to do, but I'm sick of this **bleep**. This has been going on for almost a year to some degree, and that's totally unacceptable. It's not even worth syncing anymore - it takes longer to correct all the stuff it screws up than it does to just update manually.
I'm thisclose to going Michael-Bolton-in-Office-Space w/ a baseball bat on this POS phone.
Help???

How to sync Outlook 2010 calendar (on my local windows 7 computer) with my iPhone 5c without iCloud?

How to sync Outlook 2010 calendar (on my local windows 7 64 bit computer) with my iPhone 5c without iCloud?

You would sync Outlook via iTunes on the computer. Connect the iPhone to the computer, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes running, select the iPhone in iTunes and it will display the Summary page. Select the Info tab, and there you would select what you want to sync calendar and contacts to. Make sure since this is the first time you have done a sync that whichever of the devices is new to the sync process has at least one unique contact/calendar event to get iTunes to prompt you for a merge or replacement. You can see this support document for help in setting up initial syncing. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

Sync outlook 2010 calendar

Is there a way to sync my iPhone with my Outlook 2010 calendar. I seem to have iCloud sync'd with Outlook but events are not showing on my iPhone.

Hello ssvanwa,
I understand how important it is to have you calendars syncing between your devices. I recommend reviewing the section titled "Troubleshooting Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)" in the following article for the issue you described:

Sync Outlook 2010 calendar with my iPad using iTunes 11.1.3.8 : only from PC to iPad is working !

Using iTunes 11.1.3.8 to syn my Mini Ipad with my PC running Windows 8 and Outlook 2010 : Calendar is only synchronizing in one direction (from PC to Mini iPäd). All calendar entries done on my Mini iPad are NOT appearing in Outlook 2010, while all entries made in Outlook 2010 are correctly appearing on the Mini iPad. Has somebody ideas how to configure ? (I didn't find any parameter for the synchronization directions in iTunes ?). Thank you.

ChipGore,
I am having the same issue on "There is no indication that syncing calendars is even an option in iTunes, and there used to be! (not happy right now)"

How to view Outlook 2010 Calendar on iPad 3?

I have published my Outlook 2010 Calendar to the internet (URL ending .ics). How do I view it on my iPad3?

You may have already sorted this out by now, but since there wasn't a solved response I figured it was worth the response yet.
First, I have been unable to share my Exchange calendar with the Restricted access level, iPad doesn't seem to like any credential method I put in. This I've had to make it Public.
To add the calendar:
Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Add Account... -> Other -> Add Subscribed Calendar
The rest should be pretty self-explanatory.
Hope that helps.

MS Outlook 2010 calendar not syncing with iPad and iPhone

My iPad and iPhone sync perfectly in iCloud. However, using MS Outlook 2010 Calendars they do not sync. I have deleted and reinstalled iCloud with my PC but still no results. Even though iCloud shows up in my Calendar, any additions or deletions in that Calendar do not show up on my iPhone or iPad. Can you help?

Hey oliroyal,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
First check your default services on the device under Options, Advanced Options, default services.
If the default services are configured correctly I would suggest try creating a new MAPI profile as outlined in this articlehttp://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02083 and then reconfigure the Desktop Software as shown herehttp://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17022
Thank you.

Is there an incompatibility between iPad2 and outlook 2010 calendar? I can sync appts down to the device but not up to the computer calendar.

Hi all,
Would you know whether there is an incompatibility between iPad2 and outlook 2010 calendar? I can sync outlook appointmens down to the device but not up to the computer calendar. The same occurs with my iPhone 4, can sync appointments down to the device, but not back up to the computer. Any help appreciated!

Most computer's USB ports do not have enough power to charge iPads while they are active. An iPad will charge while in sleep mode, but very slowly.

Is there a way to automatically update events in the Outlook 2010 calendar when adding events in the iCloud calendar in Outlook 2010?

I am using Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. I have synced my Outlook calendar with my iPhone using the iCloud Control Panel. This is great, but when I add an event in the iCloud calendar in Outlook 2010 and subsequently send out invitations to the event, I get the following error:
"This meeting is not in the Calendar folder for this account. Responses to this meeting will not be tallied. Do you want to send anyway?"
I select "Yes" and the invite goes out. However, when invitees receive the email invitation, there should be 2 emails - one from Outlook and one from iCloud. The iCloud invite does not always come through. If the invitee responds to the Outlook email invite, it does not show up on the iCloud Calendar.
Is there a reason that the iCloud email is not always sent or is there a way to some how update the Windows Outlook Calendar when adding events in the iCloud Calendar through Outlook?

I have just discovered this problem as well.
Very annoying!
Now all off my meetings entered in Outlook on my desktop PC are not syncing with my ipad and iphone.
If I had known this would have happened I would never have downloaded Version 2.0 of the icloud control panel.
Does anyone know how I can get the earlier version back?

VBA script for custom Outlook 2010 calendar "first day of week"

I need Outlook 2010 to use "week starting with the Saturday before Jan 1" as "first week of year" to match our company payroll calendar. (For example, Saturday 12/26/2015-Sunday 1/3/2016 would be "first week of 2016".) Is there
a way to do this in a VBA script?
-Thanks, zogg

Hello zogg,
The settings are stored in the registry at
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar
where 15.0 stands for Outlook
2013.
Make changes in
the Outlook settings and see which registry values change and in what way depending
on the settings you change.
Also take a look at the How
can I get the work week and day number in VBA (outlook 2010)? page which states the following:
WW = Format(Now, "ww") & "." & Weekday(Now, vbMonday)
The "Format" function returns an expression from a string formatted with the provided "format" argument (ww in
this case, which returns the week of the year) and the Weekday() function
returns the numbered day of the week where the first day is a VBDayOfWeek enumeration
provided as the second argument (vbMonday in
this case).

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.

Is there any help?

To check if there could be some problems with your calendar database try to create a new calendar in MS Outlook. Add a test meeting and then point the calendar sync in PC Companion to the newly created calendar folder in MS Outlook. Now try to sync and check if it still fails. If it works, there is probably something wrong with your default calendar folder in MS Outlook.

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.
