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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Calendar won't send email reminders since updating to Mavericks?

    Since upgrading to OS Mavericks Calendar won't send email reminders.
    I have been able to set them.  But they don't actually send.
    I have visited multiple sites and discussions and attempted the suggestions posted there but nothing seems to help.  I have even contact Apple feedback, and still haven't heard back from anyone.
    Just to clarify, i have attempted the following fixes:
    - Adjusted email settings to ensure iCloud ermail account is properly set up
    - Adjusted reminder settings in calendar to ensure the reminders should send
    - ensured that "My Card" is properly set up in Contacts
    I can't seem to find anything else to help?  Anyone have any ideas?

    I am haivng the same issue too.
    According to some other posts, I deleted and readded the "Me" record in the address book. When creating a new calender entry I set it to send email. When the notification pops up it's just a normal alert and no email.
    Any ideas?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How can I sync email, contacts and calendar between computers and phones without a mobileme account?

    I recently added a macbook pro, ipad and imac to my work accounts and I'd like to be able to sync all of them together.  I believe the POP server that my company is using (small start-up) does not support this.  Basically, if I read email on the laptop, it does not show as read on the imac or my iphone.  If I send a message from one, it does not show up on the other devices.
    I figure there has to be a solution - it's driving me crazy basically having email in 3 different locations and none of it matches.
    Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have found that syncing my contacts then un-syncing them results in my current contacts retaining all the info and picture from Facebook.  I just don't have the Facebook updates, which I'm happier about anyway.

  • 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.

  • Why won't Outlook 2011 Contacts sync with iPhone Contacts?

    When i left a previous company i wanted to keep my outlook contacts. To do this i exported them from the company PC into a .PST file. I was then given a MacBook Air at my current company and wanted to import the contacts from the .PST file to my outlook (Outlook 2011). This was fine and i have my old contacts on my new work MacBook. My problem is that i cannot get the contacts to show in my iPhone 6 (company phone) contacts. When i go to itunes, then my device and contacts i am given the option to sync contacts from different places. The only place that comes up is OWA and there is no option to sync the .PST file that is on my outlook. I need to be able to sync these so that if i add a contact at the office on the mac or if i add a contact on my phone when out meeting a client that they then appear on both devices no matter which one it was created on.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    I did what you said and everything looked and worked perfectly...except the events still aren't showing up on my iPhone even though they are in Google Calendar. How much time does it take to populate the iphone calendar with the   events from the just added calendar?  I changed the settings a couple of hours ago.
    Thank you!

  • Syncing email contacts from pc?

    i have tried sever ways to do this but no luck so far!
    I use windows live mail on my pc using btinternet. I cannot export my contacts to ipad tho1 I have tried exporting them as a csv file to desktop & emailing that to myself but the ipad will not open the file!
    Is the only way to manually type in each email address into the contacts program on ipad?
    seems bizarre they didnt make an easy way to do this?

    Sure it does. It tells you exactly how to sync content from your computer to your iPad. The specific supported applications for contacts from Windows are listed under "Additional Information". More information can be found in the iPad User's Guide, a link to which can be found at the bottom of that page or bookmarked in Safari on your iPad.
    Regards.

  • Maverick calendar won't send email to attendees, how do I fix this?

    Since I updated to Mavericks on my i-Mac, the calendar app won't/doesn't send emails to attendees. How do I fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of an no go.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

  • Exchange calendar from iPad doesn't sync with iCal

    Hi there, I hope this is the right community to post my problem....
    OK, I'm using an iPad 3 (iOS 5.1) which syncs rather nice with the Exchange account (mail, contacts, calendar) of my company.
    But if I try to sync the Exchange calendar from the iPad via iTunes with my Mac at home (24'' iMac DualCore 2006, OS10.6.8) the Exchange calendar won't show up in iCal. Every other calendar I created for test showed up just fine...but not the one I sync'd with my Exchange.
    Any idea how I get this to work ?                       
    Message was edited by: netscraper

    Syncing your Exchange calendar on your Mac through your iPad isn't the best approach.  What you should do instead is sync your Mac with Exchange directly.  In other words, treat the iPad--Exchange sync and the Mac--Exchange sync  independently.  This is what I do, and it works great on my Mac.
    Your iPad--Exchange setup is working fine, so leave that alone.  Turning then to the Mac-Exchange setup, I'm not in front of my Mac at the moment, but basically to set up Exchange on your Mac, go into the email preferences and select new account.  Configure it as an Exchange account and enter the relevant information.  You will need to know the "EWS" (Exchange Web Service) address... it is usually something like "outlook.companyname.com" and your regular login info.  For me, it was the same web address as if I wanted to access my email from a webpage using the MS Outlook Web Access feature.  Your IT folks can help with this if necessary.
    Once you set this up, you can also sync calendars, reminders, and contacts onto your Mac too.  And the best part is that this will sync with your iPad!

  • Exchange Calendar & Contacts won't sync w/ ios 4.1

    Since I upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 4.1, the calendar and contacts for my Exchange account won't sync. Email works fine. I've tried un-syncing and re-syncing, deleting and re-adding the account.
    When I open the calendar or contacts, the progress wheel spins for an eternity with no results. My battery went from 100% to turning off within an 8 hour period with limited use, which I attribute to the attempted syncing.

    I went to the Genius bar where they updated the firmware and installed a module to increase the timeout delay for syncs.
    I now have a very few calendar appts synced.
    The big thing (take note Apple!!) is that the few Contacts that are synced on the phone are actually the Suggested Contacts, which is a new feature in Outlook 2010.
