Desktop sync for calendar

Hi everyone.
This is my first post. I have a user who is connected through wireless sync through the BES but he wants to be setup to sync his calendar from his pc since he is connected to the domain through a vpn tunnel. Everytime I set his handheld to disable wireless sync for the calendar it works, but when I hook it up to the machine and configure the sync options for the calendar it doesnt work. It says it is disabling it because wireless sync is configured.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

So you go into the Calendar Options and set the wireless sync to No, and it still gives you that error?
Can you try first starting by leaving the BlackBerry disconnected from the computer, then changing the setting to No, then do into the Desktop Manager and make the change?

I'm having trouble with a sync alert. It's not clear to me if the default sync for calendar is my iphone (3G) or my mac (shows 82 modifications). I want it to default to the mac but the wording suggests the iphone. Anybody know the default device and if it can be and if the other can be selected if desired
Also, I don't see any way to do the sync on an individual entry basis for calendar. Looks like it will only do all of them at once. I'd like to go through them one by one to confirm which entry is correct.
Thanks

Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

So?

Any new thoughts on local sync for calendars

Any new ideas on how to achieve local sync for iOS devices under Mavericks? I am still not comfortable with using iCloud and would prefer to manage my data on my own. I am aware of options like setting up your own local wifi server and am intrigued by the 'devicesync' app on the app store. Anything else out there or do you know of anyone working on a solution to this 'feature'? Thanks and happy holidays to all.

Hi nbar, and thanks for your reply. Apologies in advance if it appears that I'm getting on my 'high horse', as the saying goes.
First off, I'm not a power user....I've got a very simple set up with a 4 year old MacBook Pro. When I do my work I do it on systems purpose-built for editing or graphics work. This gripe is strictly about how my personal devices function.
I have a couple of issues. The primary is ownership of my data. I simply do not trust Apple anymore. The ease with which services like Facebook or Google rewrite their licenseing agreements without, it seems, a thought to their end users, leads me to believe that given enough time Apple will begin mining any data that you or I store in iCloud. This is my data and Apple has no right to scan it or use it in any way whatsoever.
Secondly, I don't appreciate being pushed into a 'service' that I do not want. I don't need iCloud to do my business or to live my interconnected life. Besides, in this day and age, 5gb is pretty paltry in terms of storage; after that I get the privilege of paying a monthly fee for more space.
Third, committing to the cloud means that any interconnected device that I have will use up more bandwidth on my data plan. If I have three or four devices connected to the cloud then every time I download something from iTunes it uses up 3-4 times the original bandwidth as the file is spread across my devices.
Fourth, and most disappointing, Apple was not very candid about the loss of local sync when Mavericks was rolled out. True, in the developer or beta testing community this may have been perfectly clear but to us 'regular' end users there was no real warning. I find this most disheartening as I bought in to the Apple brand as the anti-corporate, anti-Microsoft, maverick (yes, I said Maverick ). This episode, for better of for worse, has soured me somewhat on the brand. And by the looks of it on-line and on these discussion groups, I'm not alone in this perception. This feels more like a blatant play for dollars and less about providing new feature sets to end users.
There are a lot of reasons why the cloud is good for some people and for certain types of activities. And I'm not naive enough to think that my data is perfectly safe and is not already floating out there somewhere. However, to the extent that I can, I simply want to be able to choose where my data goes and who I trust to handle it. Apple took away my cheese and I want it back!
Thanks again for the feedback. You've been very polite to read my rant. Have a great New Year.

Exchange vs. Outlook Sync for Calendar/Contacts

I currently sync my iPhone with Outlook 2007 calendar and contacts, and (with the notable exception of the 9.1 fiasco) it has been great.
This week, they migrated us to an Exchange server. I'm still syncing via USB (everything stayed with the same name in Outlook, so iTunes was fine) but am considering switching to Exchange for contacts and calendar (I don't use the email address on the exchange server on my iPhone - long story).
What I was hoping for is to find someone who has more familiarity with Exchange on iPhone to answer a few questions.
1. If I setup Exchange on the iPhone, that means contact/calendar changes made in Outlook (to the exchange account) automatically update on the iPhone, right? Can I control how often this update happens? Does it use heavy data amounts every time, or just the updates? (In other words, if I add a phone number to a contact, does it send my whole contact list, or just that contact?)
2. Is there any harm in leaving iTunes configured to sync to Outlook? Logically, it's syncing the same data (like I said, the pointers are to the exchange items), so I can't see if there's a reason to remove it. But at the same time, I don't want to mess up my contacts/calendar by leaving it on.
Any help or advice anyone can offer would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think I can answer your first question (assuming you're on iOS 4.0.1 like me
When using Exchange ActiveSync on the iPhone, you can independently set which of the following you want to sync: Mail, Contacts, Calendars. This means you could choose to sync mail and calendars, but not contacts (or any other combination of 1, 2, or all 3 services).
I have all 3 set to sync, and I find that any change I make to my inbox, contacts, or calendar, in either Outlook 2007 or on the phone itself, is generally synced the other direction within 30 seconds (sometimes as fast as 5 or 10 seconds). While I haven't done a controlled test of the data transmitted for each sync, I would be very surprised if it sends anything other than the actual changes.
So far, my experience with ActiveSync on the iPhone (for all of 2 weeks) has been quite positive. I can only think of 2 problems:
1. When a meeting reminder displays on the phone, it gives me all 3 buttons (Accept, Reject, or Maybe) even though I had already accepted the invitation when I first added the meeting to my calendar.
2. When adding an event to the calendar on the iPhone, it always sets the status to "Busy", even if I marked it as Free. I have to edit the event and re-save to get the status corrected.
Hope this helps.

Network (not desktop) sync of calendar - thru whatever?

OK. I joined this forum to ask this one question, which Apple should just post at the top in a sticky. I've googled and read and searched and looked at KBs and read many of the threads posted here. The information that I've found is not encouraging. I would like just one clear coherent response.
Does Apple currently support network/push/active/online/wireless updating of calendar and contacts?
If I cannot get a calendar that updates the calendar dynamically, at least every 15 to 20 minutes, without me plugging the phone into a cable, then I want the message to Apple to be CLEAR: I WILL NOT BUY THIS PHONE.
SO...what's the answer?

No you have to plug and sync your phone into Itunes to get update from your phone to your computer and your computer to your phone. Not like a Black Berry.
You might be able to do this with a hacked phone, but it would no longer be covered by apple.
As for telling apple you won't buy because of its limitation... ha ha ha they don't care much. you can go the the feedback page a give them a bit of your mind.

I'm running iTunes 11.1.4 (62) and can't find the info button to set up sync for contacts, calendars, etc.

That option has been removed with Mavericks. Syncing for calendars and contacts etc can only be done through iCloud:

Desktop Software for BB Curve 8520

I have suddenly been unable to Close BB Desktop SW 6.1 with my BB Curve 8520 Sw ver 5. I think there is something going on with security as I cannot load pages on Windows Internet Explorer either once this has happened. I have redownloaded the Desktop SW several times now.
Everything looks good until I try to configure the sync for calendars ets then it puts up a window saying it is configuring but never starts the process and I have yo close using Task Manager or re-boot.
Any suggestions?

Apple, please bring back USB sync for iTunes

The title says it all.
I don't use iCloud, nor am I willing to.
Removing a feature that users use is simple poor customer support.
APPLE, PLEASE BRING BACK USB-only SYNC FOR CALENDAR EVENTS, ETC...
stp

SyncServices has been deprecated (ie will be removed in a future update) since Lion was released two years ago. It was a horrible solution wrought with errors, so they went to an open standards based system, CalDAV and CardDAV.
While Apple may be able to enable a local CalDAV and CardDAV server, I really doubt they will restore the old SyncServices debacle.
Since we are not employed by Apple, and we have no contact with Apple, we can't do anything to bring back the features you want. You'll have to contact Apple for that.

did a system refresh

Z10 rocks
The above was taken from a post from yesterday, the user had a similar issue like yours and was using Win 8.1
After many different tries the user did a Refresh and as you see all is well.
I am not saying this will correct your issue but it is worth a try, just think about it and we can still troubleshoot to try and find a answer but it is pointing to your computer.

My iphone will sync WILL NOT sync the Calendar on Outlook. Outlook is just blank

My iPhone will sync all other details but it will NOT sync the Calendar with Outlook - this just began this week - driving me insane - I need to have the Calendar on the iPhone working 2 way with Outlook so tha I can print off my Calendar for end of year review. Nothing I do will make them cross sync. I have also installed the iCloud but even this will not sync the Calendar on the iPhone with Outlook - frustrated - Mayo Ireland

Try going into settings - mail - outlook account - then uncheck the sync for calendar - then sync it back and see if that resolves the issue.

After setting up iCloud for my iPhone and iPad, syncing the calendars to my desktop PC, via USB and iTunes, doesn't seem to work. What;'s going on?
