Entourage/IPhone Calendar syncing problem

Please help:
When syncing my iPhone with entourage, I find that calendar entries entered from entourage are shifted 10hrs earlier in my iPhone4. Calendar entries made in iPhone sync to correct time in entourage.
Also find that when viewing my work calendar (outlook) accessed via RDC/terminal server the sydney timezone also shows 10hrs early. I have tried all of the obviously places where time and date are set (system preferences>time and date>timezone; iCal) and everything seems OK. Is there anywhere else to look for a timezone setting?
Thanks, Lynda

AH!! I figured it out!! I had to reset the sync history in iSync (of all places) and it fixed itself.

Outlook 2003 + iPhone calendar sync problem solved

Here is how I solved my sync problem. Seems a lot of people have the same problem here with Outlook sync suddenly not working after it worked fine for a long time.
I've had Outlook 2003 calendar sync with my iPhone for a few month without any problem, but a few days ago the sync suddenly stopped without any error message. iTunes Diagnostic found no problem and I followed all the steps that Apple outlines to fix the problem but nothing worked (TS2776).
As Apple asked to, I created a new user account on my Windows machine and setup a few test calendar entries to sync with my iPhone. That all worked fine.
So I did what Apple doesn't tell you, and I copied my original Outlook Data file (.PST) over to my new user account and tried to sync that one. Now this didn't work. So I knew the problem lies somewhere in my PST file.
I have then tried to create a new one from scratch in my original Windows account, and copy all the data over. Again, it didn't work. So I emptied the file again, and copied all my calendar entries over to the new PST file in batches (first 10, then another 10, etc).
What I found at the end is that one single calendar entry I created a few days ago caused my sync to stop working. Once I removed this entry, everything worked fine again. Don't ask me what was wrong with it (I made a backup just in case Apple wants to see it), but now everything works again.
If you want to save some time to find which one it is, you may start deleting entries that you created just recently before it stopped working.
Hope that helps.

Hi im having the same problem. I use outlook 2003 on windows xp and until recently my sync (using usb) was working fine. Now it would seem that calendar items are no longer syncing. can you give any further details of the calendar entry which was causing your problem? im wondering if it was added on a certain date perhaps.
I am running the inbox repair tool to see if my pst file has any problems but would appreciate any other help in the mean time.
Cheers

Calendar schedule blank. All appts disappeared from 3g iphone calendar synced to yahoo. After Yahoo corrected error message on their website and I re-synced my iphone, calendar reappears but will not allow edit from iphone. I can't find settings to change

Calendar schedule blank. All appts disappeared from 3g iphone calendar synced to yahoo. After Yahoo corrected error message on their website and I re-synced my iphone, calendar reappears but will not allow edit from iphone. I can't find settings within Yahoo or within my iphone to alter editing options.
How can I get access to edit and delete the Yahoo calendar from my iphone? I never schedule anything from the Yahoo webpage. All my appointments and reminders are scheduled from the iphone.
iOS 4.2.1 (8C148a)

My Yahoo email account worked just fine on my iPhone 4S for the last 2 months. Then this morning I started receiving the apple.imap.mail,yahoo error. I tried all of the steps above in solving the yahoo email issue including numerous hard re-sets and deletions of my yahoo account settings without any success. So I gave up trying to use the default Yahoo setup option. I added my Yahoo account back as an "other" type email account and then had the option to choose to set it up as a "POP" account instead of an IMAP type. I then just used the server settings recommended from Yahoo Help for a Yahoo Plus Email POP (or just google yahoo plus email pop settings). This works and I am back in business.
I'm not sure if this will work for yahoo mail classic accounts.
Frustrating that this issue seems to have been going on for quite awhile and Apple still as not made any acknowledgement of this issue or proposed a fix for those of us that can not resolve the issue with a reset.

IPhone 4 sync problems - adds 60,000 blank contacts and calendar hangs

Since the beginning of this week my iPhone 4 has stopped syncing properly. It adds 60,000 blank contacts to my computer (which take hours to delete) and then completely hangs when it gets to the calendar sync. I left it syncing overnight and it was still at exactly the same point when I came back to it this morning.
Does anyone else have this problem? And how do I solve it?
I can't find any mention of it on the Internet.
I have an iPhone 4 with the latest version of iOS, a late-2008 aluminium unibody MacBook with 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and I'm running (stupidly, I suspect) Outlook 2011 SP1.
This is driving me insane. Please help.
Also, does anyone know how to get support from Apple? Their support pages are the most confusing things I have ever seen in my life.
Thank you.

Me too. Think it is since 6.1.3.
Interesting other quirk is that as well as NOT syncing my calendar, it also unticks my calendar from pc on the iphone.
When ii retick it, i get the calendar back, but as it was before the sync, ie, it does not have the bnew events from my pc in it.
This is a 2 way problem.
New events on my iphone wont sync to my pc, and new events on my pc wont sync to my iphone.

Calendar syncing problems with outlook and iphone

Months and months ago I had the following window pop up when I go to sync my phone:
"synching with iphone will change more than XX% of your calendars"
First I have to say the vagueness of Apples messages is disappointing. This message does not convey to me exactly what its going to do if I accept the message. This is my first apple product and I love my iphone, but itunes and everything related to the PC is disappointing! Anyway, I have been hitting cancel because when I attempt to lookup the problem online in a Google search I don't find any quick definitive answers. I no longer use outlook on this computer, so I want all the calendar entries in the phone to remain the same. I've attempted to uncheck calendar syncing and get the following message:
"Itunes will no longer sync calendars to the Iphone. Would you like itunes to remove calendars previously synced to you iphone"
Once again, the infamous apple user friendliness I've heard so much about doesn't seam to be true! This message is so vague. What calendars is it going to remove, the ones on the pc or the phone? And why would it remove anything, I just want it to stop syncing. Urg, frustraded. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Originally all of Apple products were intended for use with Mac computers. Macs have default program - iCal to sync calendars. Windows default program is ironically Microsoft Outlook. There couple more options in iTunes for
calendar sync, but those need to be chosen and not default.
In your particular situation since you don't have outlook anymore, you don't need to make any changes. No outlook - no sync. Apple way - no user interference nessesary.
Please do remember that everyting I write is just my opinion, nothing more or less.

Entourage/iCal/iPhone calendar sync

Just bought an iPhone but can only seem to get some of my calendar data to sync to it.
I've been using a Palm Tungsten syncing wtih Entourage (Office 2004) through the Palm/Entourage conduit.
Now I've changed all my sync settings so that Entourage goes through sync services, and .mac syncs the address book, calendar and notes, and set my .mac to sync these as well...but only the events actually created in Entourage's calendar get copied, none of the events created in the handheld (though they all exist in Entourage) are syncing. In Entourage these events look no different from the other events, can't sort this one out.
So I googled around and found a script: "Sync Entourage - iCal 2" which fixed absolutely nothing...
Since 99% of my calendar events are created in my handheld, this is a major issue. Anyone seen this before? Anyone solved this before?

It sounds like the entrouage calendar in ical has become corrupted.
First, have you turn on syncing with ical in the entrouage preferences.
If so, turn off the preference to sync with ical.
open isync in your applications folder.
reset sync history from the isync preferences.
delete the entrouage calendar in ical.
then turn on syncing entrouage with ical from the entrouage preferences.
then wait and let entrouage sync with ical and it should recreate the entrouage calendar in ical.
make sure there is an event in entrouage that it can move to ical.
Now try syncing the iphone with ical.
Hope this helps.

Edit: the iPhone calendar works perfect with my MobileMe account, but I want it on Gmail as well ( if not both is possible I would prefer Gmail )

I tryed to add my gmail account to the microsoft exchange as it says in on of the links above, but the only thing that happend was that i got all of the email contact on gmail addon on my iPhone, which was really annoying since i cant call an email adress.
Anothing thing I would like to add is that i also would like to sync my contacts to Gmail.
I am fully aware that I have MobileMe, but I would like to have it synced to Gmail because thats what I use each day and I have 2-step-authentication.

Calendar syncing problem with Outlook & iPhone

IPhone calendar sync

I continue to have inconsistent success when syncing calendar entrys from my iPhone back to my Black MacBook. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

Note this tends to be a problem if you have more than one calendar in your iCal -- this isn't unique to the iPhone -- it seems to be an iCal thing -- (or Entourage as well)...
If you have more than one Calendar, the sync function doesn't always recognize which calendar to put the event into, and just leaves it unresolved (or in some instances, which are worse, assumes that the calendar on your computer is the correct one and DELETES the event on your iPhone -- an even more dangerous occurance.)
If possible, combine all of your data on your iCal into one calendar instead of having HOME, WORK, ENTOURAGE,etc as mine used to have. By Default, iCal considers HOME the primary calendar. You combine calendars by exporting your calendar to the desktop, then re-importing it (it will ask what calendar to combine it with) then going back into iCal and deleting the original calendar you exported and reimported....I combined mine all back into one HOME calendar and haven't had a syncing problem since.
By the way, this was the same with my old Blackjack -- it's the sync services issue, not the iPhone issue going on here.

Outlook/ IPhone calendar syncing issue - adding one hr to EST.

Is there a fix for syncing Outlook 2003 calendar and the IPhone 4s? It continues to add 1 hour to the phone calendar - I have synced it both ways with the Time Zone Support on and off still no change...this is getting frustrating...any help?

I am having this problem also. It happens with re-occuring events. The Outlook calendar is correct but the iPhone calendar is changing the events by one hour. I have tried the fixes suggested elswehere regarding changing / setting the timezones but as the OP stated this is not fixing the problem.
Apple please address this.

Issue with iPhone Calendar sync

My office uses MS Exchange account (Outlook) for emails & calendar. I use Google Calendar Sync app to sync my outlook calendar events to my personal gmail calendar (1-way sync: Outlook to Google). Everything was fine until I bought the iPhone 4S. Apparently, when I open any event on the iPhone Calendar app, it automatically Accepts the invitation and sends a Accept notification to the meeting organizer & my personal gmail address is being added into the Attendees list of the organizer. So when I open any appointment on my iPhone to even read it, it sends a notification from my personal account to an office colleague or worse, to a business customer. Is there a way for iPhone to stop accepting or declining meetings & simply show my calendar items whatever status they are in. As I sync regularly, I want my iPhone calendar to display the exact information which is in my Outlook calendar and do nothing else.

This sounds just like the problem I am having since downloading the latest version of i-Tunes. Initially i-tunes wasn't recognised so after reinstalling i-Tunes and it's 5 other associated programmes I found that there was a cmpatability isuue (Right click i-tunes icon and go to compatability tag) Once this was sorted my Outlook calendar would not sync with my i-phone. 2 weeks later I am told it is because I have Outlook 2002 and need to upgrade. Frustrating as it worked ok before the latest upgrade.

FIX FOR OUTLOOK CONTACT - CALENDAR SYNC PROBLEMS

OK Guys. I have figured out the problem with Itunes not syncing the OUTLOOK CONTACTS & CALENDAR EVENT PROBLEM (For those who have this problem). So without further due....
1) Go to Outlook/Tools/Option/Others/Advanced Options/ADDIN MANAGER
2) Remove the check box in front of "OR Stuffit OL Extention" and click OK
3)Go to COMS ADD IN and you should now be able to CHECK MARK the OUTLOOK ITUNES SYNC ADDIN.
Click OK all the way back to OutLook AND SYNC.
If it worked for you, kindly leave me good feedback. Happy 4th everyone.
Philippe

IPhone calendar sync issues with Outlook

I have a problem with syncing my iPhone calendar with my Outlook 2003 calendar.
For example, let's say I had a 12pm appointment today displaying both in my outlook and iPhone. However, when I sync my iPhone after the event e.g. at 3pm, the appointment entry in the Outlook is removed, whilst the appointment entry on my phone remains. I did not edit either of the appointment entries. Even if I re-sync my phone, the 12pm appointment still remains in my phone whilst it's missing in my Outlook.
Are there others encountering the same problem as well? Any ways to fix this problem? Thanks

I've talked to them. Very helpful, but no solution. The iPhone Specialist I spoke to had not heard of the problem before. At one point he put me on hold and came back to say that he had checked with some people and they had heard of this "emerging" problem but had no answers. He admitted that all problems are "emerging" problems, given that the product has been out for only 2 weeks. We tried a variety of things with no success. I had to tell him about the manual workaround - going into each appointment, setting it to recur, etc. This does make it reappear, but isn't practical for those of us with tons of appointments. I'm not shocked that they don't want to acknowledge this, given that calendar synching is so important to their targeted business customer base. It's hard to believe that they could have screwed up something that every other manufacturer seems to be able to do well and that is at the same time so critical to business users.

HT4528 iphone calendar sync help

I have many google calendars and all show up in my calender setting (iphone). I've chosen my primary calender with the radio button but in my "notification" screen multiple calendars show up??? how do i fix this?

I had just the opposite problem, that is, entries into Outlook calendar would not go to iCloud. I found the following solution:
Make sure that you are NOT running Outlook as Administrator (right click Outlook->Properties->uncheck "Run as Administrator". For some reason calendar sync (Outlook <-> iCloud) does not work if you run Outlook as administrator.
I don't know if this will fix your problem, but it's worth looking at. Let me know if it helps.

IPhone calendar sync two hours off from iCal - Can I fix?

I purchased an iPhone 3G today, this is my second one. Since my last phone, I now have a new MacBook Pro with iCal.
When I performed the Sync today, everything was fine except for the times in Calendar, which were two hours later on iPhone. The time zones were the problem, as the iPhone was set to Cupertino (Pacific) and the computer was set to Memphis (correct zone).
Now, I have corrected the time zones on both and I have performed a new Sync and checked the box to replace information from the calendars on the iPhone with the information from iCal.
However, the times are still off.
1. Can I fix this issue?
2. Can I delete the iPhone calendar entries as a whole and start over and re-Sync?
Thanks for the help. It's a minor issue, but it's pretty annoying and I have tried everything I know to fix it.

How bizarre. Mine is doing this too, except it's 3 hours off. I showed up to work 3 hours early because of this. Time zones are the same on my computer and my phone. I'm not sure what the deal is.
