Email/Contacts sync OK - Calendar sync jacks up phone

I recently started having issues with my phone where it would exit apps (both downloaded and standard - like the ipod) for no reason. I had the phone replaced at the Apple Store yesterday and even got a new sim card today. Same issues... tonight I restored as a new phone and slowly added back items. I can add my Outlook (exchange) Contacts and Mail and everything works ok. When I attempt to add the Calendar - things exit for no reason again...
any suggestions on what to do to get around this issue? I really need my calendar as I have no idea where or when meetings are without it...

update - the problem only appears to be with my exchange account. others in the company don't have this issue. when I set up my account on a different iphone - same issue.

Exchange Calendar Won't Sync, Email & Contacts Sync Fine

I have a new 3GS and I set it up on my company Exchange server. Mail syncs fine. Contacts sync fine. My Calendar, however, won't sync to the phone at all. Not one single event. I've turned sync off and then back on, no luck. I've reset the phone, no joy. I've cleaned up all my old recurring appointments thinking maybe that would be the fix, nope. So far nothing I have tried will get the Calendar items to sync. What would allow the mail and contacts to sync just fine but prevent the calendar from working? Thanks!

I finally resolved this issue. I opened the calendar in outlook on my PC. I went to View>Current View>Categories. I expanded the list (click on the little "+" sign to expand) and then deleted EVERY entry. Some were current, but most were expired, and some went back to 2007. As soon as I deleted all of these entries, that basically wiped my Exchange calendar clean. There had to have been some corrupt entries in their that were preventing calendar sync, because once I cleared out all the entries, I sent myself a meeting request and it showed up instantly on the iPhone. All is right in the world again. Hope this helps others with the same problem.

HT204150 Contacts syncing with my phone

I have all my contacts on my iphone 5s, but they are not syncing with icloud. How do I get them to sync back to icloud. I originally populated my phone contacts through my google account.

Just set up your iCloud account on your phone (Settings > iCloud) and then choose the option to merge contacts with iCloud.

Mistaken contact sync to new phone

Hello, I accidentally synced ALL of my contacts (4500) from my computer to my new IPhone5 when I intended to only sync from my old IPhone 3(122). Now the old ones have disappeared from my phone, IPad. How do I restore the original contact list (122)? and sync to the new IPhone. I've deleted all contacts and apparently ICloud also deleted the original contacts from my IPad too!

Outlook calendar and contacts sync limits with Xperia Z1 Compact

I have just set up my Xperia to sync with Outlook Calendar and contacts- took a while to realise outlook calendar needed to be closed to work, however now that I am able to sync my calendar and contact, I am only able to sync some of the items in my contact and the calendar updates to my phone only sync for a few months. Is there an option on this phone or in PC Companion where I can sync all calendar and contact entries, or somewhere that limits entries that I can switch off?

There was a setting I hadn't found in the PC Companion software:
On the start sync page there is a settings heading next to a spanner on the righthand side - this takes you to sync settings
Select Personal Data Selection and then the properties button for Calendar
You can then set the sync to select all your appointments or a subset.
I hope that this helps someone - it has taken hours to find this setting!

Sync email, contacts & calendar on Live, iphone, PC

I want to sync email, contacts, and calendar on my iPhone and PC just like
it did with my blackberry, but I want to use a live mail account (or gmail or
other provider if Live won't work). The iPhone web pages don't list Live email account information any more like they used to. So I'm not sure what is going on with Live email and the iPhone.
I have an iPhone 2G (just today updated to OS 3.1) with the data plan. I have a Live mail account that I'll be using if possible. I currently have the updated contact list and calendar file that I want to use in Outlook 2003 on my XP desktop computer. I want to PUSH these items onto the iPhone because they have been painfully updated (from multiple accounts from multiple pc and phone upgrades). I want to continue using Outlook on the PC if possible, but want to migrate to using my notebook (that I plan to upgrade from Vista to Win7). I want the messages to dowload to the hard drive on the notebook for archival.
I know I should upgrade the Vista machine to Win7 before I start trying to
sync these 3 devices/areas (2 devices and 1 cloud??? ;-)). Once that is accomplished, I want to sync the notebook (outlook email and calendar and contacts) with the iphone (email, contacts, calendar) and Live (email, contacts, calendar). Will opened email show as "read" on the other devices at next logon? Will calendar updates work properly from any location and propagate to the other devices? Same for Contacts: can I change one anywhere and have it properly update at the other two locations? What about deleting email messages (or contacts, or calendar items), can it be done from any of the 3 and propagate to the the other 2?
Can it be done? How?

Google does not support Push access for recieved messages when accessing the account as an IMAP account.
Google does support Push access for recieved messages when accessing the account as an Exchange account, but Exchange/ActiveSync is a new protocol for Google.
I have no idea about service interruptions with a Gmail account, but since Exchange/ActiveSync is a new protocol for Google and still considered a Beta I believe, there are bound to be issues from time to time while Google gets the bugs worked out.
The iPhone supports Push access for recieved messages with email account providers that provide/support Push access. The iPhone also supports Fetch access with an option for automatically checking for new messages every 15 minutes, every 30 minutes, or every hour. With an account that supports Push access, you can enable or disable Push access, automatically check the account for new messages, or manually check for new messages.
Nothing personal, but what is the big deal about Push access for recieved messages? What sort of important email do you regularly recieve that must be pushed to the iPhone the instant the message is recieved at the incoming mail server - along with every other message the instant they are recieved at the incoming mail server? To each his/her own, but that would drive me nuts. Nothing I recieve via email is so important that it can't wait for the account to be automatically checked for new messages every 30 minutes (my setting), and I can always manually check the account for new messages in between the automatic check.
Just trying to help you save what amounts to $8.33/mo with a MobileMe account. I haven't read about on-going regular problems with accessing a Gmail account as an IMAP account. This provides for keeping all server stored mailboxes synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account, and you can sync contacts and calendar events direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process at no additional expense. You won't have Push access for recieved messages when accessing a Gmail account as an IMAP account, but I think you will get by A-OK having the account automatically checked for new messages along with being able to do a manual check in between the automatic check if you are expecting an email of significant importance.
And in the interim, Google may get the bugs ironed out with accessing the account as an Exchange account which you can switch to when they do - still at no charge.

BB10 sync email, contacts, calendar

While I am waiting for Verizon to get their act together, I am re-evaluating my email, calendar, contact syncing. This seems to be a major issue on the forums.
I presently use gmail and want to use a different system as I am becoming more dissatisfied with their system.
I own two web addresses. I would like to stay web-based such as gmail. But I want to sync with my Playbook, Z10 when I get it, and the future web-based system.
I have no problems paying for a reliable system.
What should I be looking at? Keep the outline simple as I am a simpleton.
thks

I use web based emails for my personal stuff and I find Gmail is the leader in this. With the new Gmail/Google chrome for example , all your Bookmarks (favorites) follow you no matter where you log in using a google browser or which device. There are so many user preference interfaces coming it's mind boggling. They know way too much !
Outlook.com and Yahoo.com are following but way behind. Yahoo has not even woke up yet actually. Google and the Android operating system are so married it's rediculous yet I can see the benefits if you don't mind being tracked.
Don't take life too seriously, You will never get out of it alive! ,

Do recent versions of BDM sync emails as well as Calendar, Contacts etc?

Working with an 8800 and a PC with XP Pro SP2 and BDM 4.5 (just downloaded).
Single user... no Exchange Server, no BES.
Just BlackBerry, Outlook and BDM on PC.
Ealrier verisons of BDM would sync with Outlook - but only the non-email portions. i.e. if you received 50 emails on your BB, and deleted 30 of them. You could sync your device with Outlook and update Calendar and Contacts etc. but you would have to go and weed through the emails again and delete the 30 from Outlook.
At this link for BDM http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
is the sentence: "Synchronize your email and organizer information (calendar, contacts, memos and tasks) between your BlackBerry smartphone and your PC"
Does this mean that BDM now handles reconciling emails as well?

I read that to mean email (information) and organizer INFORMATION, not email content.
Just my opinion!

Syncing email, contacts and calendars

Feeling a little overwhelmed with my problem as a recent Mac convert. Have tried to do research on this issue but have had no luck finding a solution that works for me. Not entirely sure this question is in the right category but here goes:
I have a personal gmail account and a home-business email through a domain. I am running MS Outlook 2011 on my Mac Book Air and using a Blackberry Bold 9900.
I want my Outlook and Bold to sync with my emails, contacts and calendars seemlessly. They are not. I have had nothing but problems with contacts that are entered in my BB then don't show up in Outlook. Or calendar invitations that are quadrupled in my BB because I added it to Outlook.
Does anyone have an elegant solution so that everything syncs between everything without dropping items or duplication?

Funny (not ha ha)....I've been working a similar situation for a few years now. I'm an IT guy, and my goal years ago was to sync my calendar and contacts with EVERY device I have (work outlook, home outlook (on 3 different systems) and whatever phone I've got). Apple had a GREAT answer.... their MobileMe solution. Was supposed to be great - a single place to sync everything together, BUT it didn't work right. So much that I ran from it when it would refuse to change things on just about any device. It would actually put all my contacts back if I attempted to delete them all. weird....finally dumped it.
So....round 2.
I started using my work Outlook (exchange) as my 'master', changing that, and letting all other devices be slave.
This worked for awhile, but got taxing to try and update from a single source. I would archive my data on a regular basis ' just in case'.
Anyway....after multiple device changes, etc. Here's where I'm at today - and working VERY well:
I sync all my devices with my work Outlook (Exchange). <---- key in this effort.
All my devices Outlook (exchange) at work, Outlook at home Windows (XP or 7 desktop), Windows laptop, MacBook Air (running SL, and now Lion), iPod touch, iPad, HP Touchpad and an iPhone. (I was Windows phone before and no difference). I've used 3 different windows phones, and now 3 different iphones. I can change data anywhere, on any device, and everything updates within a couple of minutes, since everydevice syncs with the master, the master updates and sends out to all other devices.
Now, for Blackberry, that would depend on if you sync wirelessly through a BES Server. If you do, again, everything would be the same and wirelessly sync everywhere.
If you sync using the desktop manager - makes it tougher, but still should work fine - it's just there is a time/entry delay because you can only change data you change on your BB with the rest of the network when you sync manually via cable (not the best solution). I did that for a few years, before smartphones hit the market. I used to used a Palm, or HP iPaq and would sync wired. What a pain.
This new solution has worked for me for a few years...very happy, and the end device shouldn't matter.
I'd like to hear more detail on what exactly isn't working.
Cheers.

Calendar Sync not working - email and contact sync working

Hi,
my company's exchange activesync is working for email and contact but not for calendar. there is no single meeting in my iphone calendar. when invitation arrives, I get alarm and I can even see invitation on phone and can accept it. it then goes into calendar but gets removed soon after (after it gets sync with exchange I guess).
I know that multiple issues like this have been discussed in this forum but could not find similar. My IT guy telling me that it is iPhone issue as it is only one global object and my email and contacts are working.
BTW, other iphone users have same issues.
Any comments? is this because of 2.2.1?
thanks,
Sam

were you able to solve this? i too can sync mail and contacts but not calendar...
so far i have recreated my SSL
rerun the internet connection wizard
tried it from my ipod touch running 2.2.1
tried it from my dev iphone 3g running 3.0b5
tested and CAN access everything via outlook and OMA
can add an appointment via iphone, it appears in Outlook, but cannot add from outlook and sync
have deleted every single appointment/event/anniversary then added one to check for corrupt.
everything worked fine until a few days ago when the dev iphone had 3.0 installed on it... at first, the calendar was all i could get to sync, we had some interesting firewall setup that was causing confusion for a few things, in an effort to make life easier on the dev phone, the firewall was simplified (removed double NAT). but, in the process of removing and adding and removing and adding my Exchange info, i gained the ability to sync my contacts and mail, but lost my calendar.
i do not think 3.0 is the exact issue, but i do think it may have caused some kind of problem with exchange or activesync which others have apparently been able to cause with 2.2.1.
any verbose suggestions are appreciated... i've spent the last two days pulling out whats left of my hair and trying to find someone with a Windows Mobile or other Activesync device that's not iPhone/iPod to test looking for clues. thanks.

I cannot make my Outlook 2010 calendar/tasks/contacts sync with the calendar on my iPhone 5, I cannot make my Outlook 2010 calendar sync with the calendar on my iPhone 5

I have wasted so many hours trying to make this work and researching Apple support. Nothing works so I am hoping to get an answer here.
First of all, here is what I am using:
Windows 7 32 bit
Outlook 2010
iPhone 5 and iPad 3
iOS 7.0.2 on both devices
I have downloaded the iCloud app for my Windows computer and checked that it sync my contacts, calendar, and tasks. I have enabled iCloud on my phone for contacts, calendars and tasks. I have not been able to get anything to sync. My iCloud calendar appears in Outlook but everything is grayed out. I see the iCloud reminders under my tasks tab but there is nothing listed.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iCloud on my Windows computer. I have turned off the calendars, tasks, and contacts sync under iCloud on my phone and turned them back on - nothing. I have restarted my computer and iPhone - nothing. Same results with my iPad - nothing.
Additionally, I have gmail as my personal email; also am forced to use Good for Enterprise for my work email.
I am at my wits end. I finally ended up syncing today with the USB cable via iTunes but the whole point behind iCloud is to be able to sync wirelessly.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello there janis143,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like after the recent iOS update, your Outlook content is no longer syncing properly to your phone.
I found this article named:

I recommend the troubleshooting steps therein.

Syncing Question: Is it safe to sync email contacts on iPhone?

Hi guys,
I have just bought an iPhone which I intend to use for both work and personal stuff. I am wondering when I sync my mail accounts with iPhone, will I be actually exposing my personal email, phone number or any type of personal info to my work email contacts?
I have synced Facebook contacts to iPhone and saw that some friends have whole lots of contact info exposed. That is why before I synced my work email contacts, can anyone explain if our personal things on our iPhone will be exposed to the synced email contacts we have on the same iPhone?
For example: Can work email contacts (Gmail or Yahoo) see my personal Facebook profile photo since it is saved in my own contact list?
Can work email contacts see my phone number when I reply from the iPhone?
Basically any answers related to syncing safety will be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks, modular747. Sure, but isn't there only one "sync" button that will then sync everything, and isn't iTunes the only place to control what is synced?
I suppose one way to fix this would be to sync my calendars and contacts using iCloud. This would also mean that my iPad was kept in sync more regularly. But I use Google Calendar as a Calendar app and sync this to iCal via BusySync, and am yet to find a way that I can get this (and my Google contacts, which sync with my Address Book) to play nicely.
If there's some way I can use iCloud to sync my calendars and contacts between Mac, iPhone and iPad, while maintain the synchronisation I've currently got running between iCal, Address Book and Google, I'd love to hear it

ICloud calendar/contacts sync on PC via Outlook 2010 - clumsy or me?

I recently added iCloud to sync calendar, contacts and tasks from Outlook 2010 on my PC to my iPhone 4s.
Generally it works well. If I add a contact on the iPhone, the PC Outlook syncs it fairly quickly via the cloud and works in reverse as well. Exactly what I was hoping for.
After a week or so, I noticed a few irregularities which I am confused about. Not in syncing the data but what it did to my PC Outlook 2010 calendar.
In installing the iCloud sync, I saw that iCloud copied my calendar items to another calendar named iCloud calendar and deleted all of the calendar items from the "default" Outlook calendar. But they are not really deleted from the "default" calendar. I guess I was not expecting this level of intrusion by iCloud. Not a huge issue but I am still getting some alerts from the iCloud calendar and the "normal" Outlook calendar which is apparently duplicating the alerts. This is issue 1. In Outlook 2010 you can check which calendar you want to see and not include some calendars if you prefer. I have defaulted to ony checking the iCloud calendar and not the default Outlook calendar.
The other issue is since the iCloud calendar sort of replaced the "default" calendar in Outlook 2010, the Outlook menu structure defaults to the Outlook default calendar and contacts (which is now empty) and so I have to constantly change "which contact store or calendar store to look into" in Outlook to do many functions such as find people in contacts, email addressing (using the Outlook "recent people you have emailed cache") which is a bit of a pain and seems to be necessary far to often.
So, I am asking the community; do I need to make some other setting options (IPhone 4s or Outlook 2010 on the PC) to return to a more automatic selection of the iCloud contact and calendar store so that I don't have to constantly keep changing the "look into" option?
Maybe to confuse this even further, I have a new iPad 2 which I would like to keep the calendar and contacts synched via iCloud.
I hope I have articulated this well enough as the issue seems to be a bit complicated to describe.
Thx DD

I had the EXACT same problem and heard about CodeTwo Sync for iCloud. I downloaded and installed the 30-day trial version. So far I love it! After 30 days it reverts to only syncing the Calendar for free. Its $10 to buy the license key to keep it syncing Calendar and Contacts and Tasks. I'm NOT syncing Tasks with it because I've been using Toodledo and it works well with Categories (Contexts in Toodledo) for doing the GTD system, although I'm looking into other ways I may be use iCloud for my Outlook Tasks WHILE MAINTAING CATEGORIES.
I'm probably going to buy the CodeTwo Sync for iCloud within the 30 day trial. It does exactly what you want it to do: syncs the iCloud account folder with your default Outlook modules/folders - AUTOMATICALLY - without having to do anything (clicking, etc.). THAT's what I'M talkin' about!
