Exchange / iPhone 4s / iPad2 / Outlook - Missing appointments

I was happily plugging along with my iPhone 3g and then 4S syncing wirelessly with Exchange for my work calendar.  All was well with the world until I added an iPad2 to the mix... now, my Outlook is the point of reference but different appointments are missing from my iPhone and from my iPad.  Not the same appointments either!  For example, Friday afternoon is showing wide open on my phone, 1 appointment on my iPad, and 3 appointments in Outlook.  They aren't recurring, and they aren't all-day.  I can't figure it out.  I can delete and relist but the problem comes back. 
help?!?  I'm missing meetings!

Microsoft has some "Best Practices" for resolving calendaring issues...
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA011276781033.aspx
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899704/
but I think the the real issue is related to the number of mail client instances you are running.  I tell our users the likelihood of calendar consistency errors increases as the square of the number of mail clients they run.   This is an issue really with the way Outlook handles resolving the calendar.  I know this is a frustrating issue, and one that really needs to be addressed by Microsoft.We also tell our users to accept appointments from every device they receive a notification on...if one notification is deleted, the appointment vanishes from the calendar....You might also look at taking desktop Outlook out of cache mode. The cache file can get corrupted and I've seen cases where letting it be rebuilt fixes many consistency issues.  Another best practice is to minimize the number of calendar delegates. For what it's worth it also affects users of other mobile device types such as Blackberry.

  • IPhone hour ahead, outlook calendar appointments hour behind after syncing

    Whenever I sync my iPhone it jumps an hour ahead and all the appointments in Microsoft Outlook 2007 are suddenly shifted an hour back.
    First, I checked the time zones on my iPhone and on my computer and they were correct.
    Second, I turned off time zone support and auto update on my iPhone. Still the problem exisits.
    Third, thank god the times of the appointments in the iPhone are not effected.
    I've combed this forum looking for answers, nothing has worked.
    Please help.
    I can handle the e-mail problems, but this is too much.

    Well, I feel like an idiot, but sometimes the biggest problems have the simplest solutions. I actually did not have my PC set to adjust for daylight savings time. So I turned it on, then had to manually set the clock back an hour. Now the appointments in Outlook are at the correct time and when I sync my iPhone it no longer moves ahead one hour after.
    Thank you very much for your help.

  • Appointment missing on iphone, still in outlook

    My afternoon appointment is not in my iphone anymore. It was before. It still is in my outlook exchange server and shows up in outlook. I can't seem to get it back into my iphone. My other two appointments this morning are in my iphone but the third is gone. I'm glad I noticed it myself.

    This nonsense of having Calendar and Contact entries or edits made on the iPhone disappear a short time later rather than sync with MobileMe has been going on with my iPhone since I purchased it in October of 2008. I have spent literally hundreds of hours of my life trying to tech my way around this, including sync'ing through Google's exchange servers, resetting iCal, reinstalling my entire OS on the desktop Mac, trips to two Apple stores (the "geniuses" finally shrugged and said "We don't know!), having two different Apple techs via iChat (each session lasting upwards of several hours, and ongoing email correspondence lasting for, yes, MONTHS) setting up two dummy accounts and transferring all my data over, resetting the iPhone countless times and lots of other handy tips.
    Apple continues to refuse to acknowledge the simple fact: The sync'ing of iCal and Address Book entries via is not reliable and cannot be depended on. There are glitches in their servers—not in your database, not in your iPhone, not in your username, not in anything. Apple MobileMe servers will intermittently and at random not only refuse to sync up data entered via 3G networks on an iPhone, they will delete the entries from the iPhone and leave no record.
    I finally found the answer! When I'm on the road and set up an important appointment, or get a critical phone number, here's what I do:
    1) I write it down on a piece of paper.
    2) I carry the piece of paper in my pocket until I get back to my office.
    3) Once at the office, I take out the paper.
    4) I look at the paper and type what's on it into iCal, or Address Book.
    5) After awhile, voila - the entries appear on my iPhone!
    It's hard to put a price tag on this kind of time-saving feature.

  • Can iPhone sync with outlook exchange

    Can iphone sync with Outlook Exchange for business?

    Outlook, or Exchange? There is no "Outlook Exchange".

  • IPhone 4 Camera Icon Missing, Facetime Unavailable after add Mail Exchange

    iPhone 4 running 4.0.1
    when my iPhone setup to MS Exchange email account (my company) I noticed that iPhone 4 Camera Icon Missing, Facetime Unavailable. I remove the account from "setting" - "Mail" and all feature came back to normal.
    This also happened to my colleague (iPhone 4 FM 4.0) connected to same MS Exchange server.
    However; I posted this issue on other forum and other iPhone 4 users don't have the same issue connected to Exchange.
    My Company running MS Exchange 2007

    Got it working now iOS support Exchange Policy!
    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090617122000AAy6ZwS
    Exchange 2007 has active sync policies. One of the options is to disallow the camera.
    To resolve the problem do the following.
    1) Open Exchange Management Console
    2) Click "Organization Configuration"
    3) Click "Client Access"
    4) On the right you should see your active sync policies. Right click the policy and chose "Properties"
    5) Click the "Device" tab
    6) Check "Allow camera"
    And bingo it works!!!!

  • TS2621 why can i not exchange information on my iphone calendar to outlook account all other information transfers? 706-595-1183

    I have connected my phone through exchange sync to my outlook account at work.  I have on the calendar, email, tasks, and contacts.  The information I type on the iphone calendar does not trasfer to the outlook calendar.  Any suggestions to help me with this problem.  If I type the information on my outlook calendar it will place on my phones calendar.

    I guess it depends on how your "connected" the iPhone to Exchange.  If you set up iCal to sync to your iPhone through iTunes and set up Outlook on your Mac to sync with iCal and have both iCal and Outlook running when you sync your iPhone with iTunes, then all the calendar entries made on your iPhone will become calendar entries on the Exchange server.
    If you set iTunes to send the Exchange calendar to the iPhone and you make meetings on the iPhone in the "Calendar" calendar, then iTunes thinks it's doing the right thing by keeping the Calendar and Exchange calendars separate.  That's why one is red and one is blue (unless you change the default colors) on your iPhone.  I know iTunes can read from an Exchange server, but I think only Outlook can write to it.  Perhaps there are other settings, I'm not all that pleased with the solution as it stands myself.

  • TS1347 when syncing my iphone with my Outlook calendar, a few days appointments did not show on my iphone calendar while other days did. I have done this several times in the past, and this is the first time I've had any troulbe

    when syncing my iphone with my Outlook calendar, a few days appointments didn't show in my iphone calendar, but other days did.  The appointments show in my outlook calendar.  I have done this many times, and this is the first time I have had this kind of trouble.  Any idea what has caused these appointments to not show?

    Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
    I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread. 

  • Sync iphone calendar with outlook 2010

    Having a bit of trouble getting this to work. It's on the bosses PC so I don't have much time at his PC to troubleshoot.
    Running Windows 7 and outlook 2010 (all updated) POP account , hosted by godaddy
    Everything sync's fine except calendar appointments from the iPhone 4 to Outlook.
    I am currently loading outlook on my PC to recreate the problem and/or find a solution.
    He says it used to work, but when iOS 5 came out, it got broken a few months ago
    I did find some articles about loading the iCloud control panel to adjust settings on the calendar sync, so that's the first step.
    We also discussed a real Exchange account, but that is not in the budget for now. (hosted email) it would solve other problems too.
    any help would be appreciated. forgive me if this have been solved before, I haven't found anythin recent on the search.
    Thanks

    iCloud control panel seemed to fix this issue. Now I have to figure out how to merge all the new iphone calendars showing up in outlook

  • Outlook Multiday/Recurring meetings move to the next day on iPhone/iPad and Outlook for MAC.

    Exchange 2010 environment.  Outlook 2007 and 2010 on Windows desktops.  Multiple day appointments or recurring meetings in Outlook do not appear on the iPhone, iPad or Outlook for MAC with the same date.  They are all moved forward to the next day.  Single day or non-recurring meetings are synced correctly.  Not finding much on this.  All users affected with these devices.

    i have the exact same situation... called Apple Care and they were no help without the $29 incident plan... hoping for a solution before i go that route

  • When I tried to open my Mail app this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook.  I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox.  Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in

    When I tried to open my Mail app on my IPhone this morning, it opened a list of choices - iCloud, E Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol, Outlook.  I use Hotmail and it usually opens to my Inbox.  Why did it do this and do I choose Outlook and is it safe to sign in? 

    It sounds like instead of opening your Mail App, you actually opened your Settings App, and were somehow in the 'Add Account' section of Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
    Close the apps, and then reopen just the Mail App.

  • IPhone will not sync old appointments - even with filter unchecked!

    I sync my iPhone with MS Outlook on my laptop. I had some trouble getting all my appointments to sync with a 90-day old filter on. I unchecked the dat filter, but two of my recurring event (birthdays) still will not sync. In one case I just made a minor change and it worked.
    In the other case, the birthday of an aunt in 1906, I had to make the start date 1998 instead of 1906. It appears there is a date filter even when the date filter is unchecked in iTunes. Anyone familiar with this? Reported bug?
    If such a filter exists, it is a problem with older birthdays.
    TIA

    As a first step, deselect syncing your calendars via your iPhone sync preferences, and select Apple at the lower right.
    Disconnect your iPhone and quit iTunes.
    Launch the iSync application and go to iSync Preferences.
    Select Reset Sync History.
    Quit iSync and then restart your Mac.
    Try selecting sync your calendars via your iPhone sync preferences, select Apple and then sync.
    If this doesn't work, I would try exporting or backing up your iCal data and then deleting all calendars. Import your iCal data from the backup and try syncing again.

  • HT1296 Apple does not sync my Outlook Saturday appointments, yes it leaves out only the Saturday appointments from Outlook. What to do about this?

    When I sync Outlook to my iPhone, my Saturday appointments from Outlook don't appear on my iPhone calender. All other appointments are correct except there are no Saturday appoinments...weird...What to do about this?

    Scanpst.exe is a repair program for the Outlook data files. You should be able to find the program in the Microsoft Office folder on the computer. You might have to search for it. After you open that, you navigate to your Outlook data file. That is generally in your Documents folder. After running it, it should tell you if it repaired anything.
    Also, in iTunes, you might want to reset the sync history. That is done by opening iTunes, going to Edit, Preferences, Devices, and click on the button.
    Since you are not getting sync from phone to Outlook, you may need to create a new calendar in Outlook. If you know how to create a new blank calendar, do that and add a couple of new appointments. Try weekday and weekend. After connecting the phone to the computer, make sure you have it set to sync in iTunes and try a sync. See if it works. If it does, you may need to export your other calendars to a file and then import them back to the new calendar.
    You can also try creating a new calendar on the phone and syncing that to see if it shows in Outlook.

  • Sync iPhone 4 with Outlook 2010 via Windows 7

    Is there a fix for this problem?  I have the current updates of Outlook 2010, Windows 7, and iTunes for my iPhone 4.  I cannot sync my iPhone contacts with Outlook.  When I entered new contacts into Outlook, and sync with iPhone, the contact information does not sync.  When I had an earlier version of Outlook, the contact information was sync with my iPhone.  But now, it does not work.  I made an appointment with the Apple support technician and the technician tried to help but he could not resolve the problem.  As indicated by himself, the tech said he was their best tech, and he had not heard of this problem.  Instead, he recommended placing all my contact onto iCloud.  Again, is there a fix for this problem?

    Problems with a calendar sync in Outlook can generally be traced to a corrupt appointment at some time. It can happen from a shutdown in Outlook or any number of other reasons. If you can remember when the trouble began, see if you can locate an appointment on that day. You can also try and reset the sync history in iTunes, and can also run scanpst.exe and troubleshoot your Outlook file.
    I've used every version of Outlook since 2000 and have been able to trace this issue a couple of times to an appointment that has a recurring setting. You can change the view of your appointments and list them. When you do that, you may be able to locate an appointment that doesn't look right. I had to print out all of my appointments once and then reenter them. Luckily I didn't have that many, so it didn't matter. Again, this is usually something corrupt in the Outlook file that will make the problem appear, and since everything else in Outlook is syncing except the calendar, that is the place to look.

    Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
    I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud  2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel.  I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version). 
    The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.”  After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
    Sound familiar?  Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue?  Thanks much in advance!

  • Exchange iphone 4 for iphone 4S

    can I return or exchange iphone 4 16 gb  bought at at&t store online for iphone 4s 16 gb at the apple store. But i m still in the contract. I still have a year left of my contract.

    With a year left in your contract, that would imply that your phone is already a year old.  Within the first 30 days of purchase, you can reurn a phone under the "buyers remorse" clause, but after that, your best option is to try to sell your old phone to buy a new one.
    With one year left on your contract, you would also not qualify for the "new discount" pricing, so you either pay the full price, or pay the "new discount" plus $250 and get a new 2 year contract.  This would mean that the 16GB iPhone 4S wouldn't cost you $199, but in fact $449 and you would have a new 2 year contract starting the day of your new purchase.
