Home PC Outlook to iPhone - help required...

I have a 3G iPhone and am running Windows Vista with Outlook (No Exchang).
My outlook receives email from all my pop accounts and this is where I keep all my contacts and calendar events.
I want to be able to perform over the air sync (not connect the iPhone to the PC).
I have so far tried the following to get this working:-
1. Signed up for a free live mail2web (exchange active sync account)
2. Registered this with http://syncml.biz
3. Downloaded Synchronica desktop client and configured this in outlook to send to the synml server (which then syncs the information with mail2web, which then pushes it to my iPhone
This appeared to all be working great, I have now go all my contacts synced over the air and I leave my PC on with symcml client set to sync every 20 mins so both devices are always up to date.
My problem is with Calendar events. Specfically reoccuring appointments. Basically if I have a yearly reoccuring appointment in my outlook such as a birthday or anniversary (or a manually entered reoccuring event) this then gets pushed to my iphone as a daily re-occuring event and floods my iphone with a daily event that goes on for years...
This makes my calendar very clutered and slow down the iphone due to the mass amount of events.
If I edit the event in outlook it is a simple re-occuring event. If I can this to a weekly reoccuring event then it still syncs on the iphone as a daily event for years..
Any ideas on how to overcome this or can you suggest any alternative solutions.
Unfortunately mobileme isn't an option for me at this stage.
Thanks

Gmail sounds like it should fit your bill, with direct syncing over the air, with nothing inbteween, and also works with outlook

  • IPhone 3g - Find My Iphone help required

    My daughter is forever leaving her Iphone 3g at friends houses and we often have used Find my iphone to track this under the mobile me method of location.  I have recently had to restore the phone and this functionality has now gone and I cant seem to get it back any ideas how i can reactivate this useful function.  She is running 4.2.1 which it says is the latest IOS.?

    If you have a MobileMe account, Find my iPhone will continue to work as it did before iCloud was released. So if you already registered your iPhone to your iCloud apple id and have the find my iphone app installed, everything should work fine (I think at least). Go to icloud.com and log in with the apple id you used for find my iphone on your iphone 3g. Then click find my iphone and see if you can locate your phone.

    Hi,
    I am using Weblogic 6. I have created a new Web
    Application called Web (I have not used the DefaultWebApp_myserver).
    And I have the following settings:
    Name : Web
    URI : Web
    and Path : C:\Web
    and placed my JSP files under c:\Web\
    I am able to access the first page, but after that I am not able to access the
    second page.
    I get "Error 404--Not Found" on the browser. Basically the class file is not getting
    created under /Web-inf/_tmp_war_myserver_myserver_Web/jsp_servlet/ folder .
    I tried a work around for this. I copied all my files under one more folder called
    web and placed this under C:\Web
    The it works. Now I have 2 copied off all the files, 1 copy under c:\web and another
    copy under c:\web\web\.
    If I have the files under DefaultWebApp_myserver and have the setting as
    Name: DefaultWebApp_myserver
    URI: DefaultWebApp_myserver
    Path: .\config\mydomain\applications
    everything works fine.
    Can any one please let me know if there is any configuration which has to be done
    so that I do not duplicate the code in 2 directories
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Moin

  • Sync problem itunes 11.1.5.5 iphone 5 Version 7.1 (11D167) Windows 7 Home premium Outlook 2010 contacts calendar

    I'm no longer able to sync contacts, calendar or notes from my computer's Outlook using iTunes.  For a while I was getting a message that the server could not be reached for resolving conflicts - probably got that message every sync for a month or so and just ignored it.  Then I followed online instructions for dealing with that problem and renamed the file conflicts.syncconflict.  The instructions suggested that this would cause creation of a new conflicts.synconflict file, which it did.  But then the sync just seemed to hang on the contacts portion of syncing, even if I left it for a couple of hours.  So I renamed the old file back to conflicts.synconflict. 
    Now sync doesn't work at all for me if I try to sync any of Outlook contacts, calendar or notes.  If I disable all those, the sync works for things like apps, etc.
    I have already tried:
         checking latest version of iPhone software
         in iTunes, clicking edit / preferences/ devices / reset sync history (not sure whether this button really does anything or not)
         using outlook's scanpst.exe to check for corruption of my main outlook files and most of my ancillary folders
         resetting the iPhone (pressing the button upper right and the circular button at the bottom for several seconds)
         trying the sync after rebooting the computer and not turning on Outlook in the interim
    The present symptom is that the attempted sync just hangs on the syncing contacts stage, and won't complete.  I can cancel the sync, but I can't complete it (unless I uncheck syncing with all the Outlook data).  I'm not getting any error message.
    This is what I'm using:
              iPhone 5
              iTunes version 11.1.5.5
              iPhone software Version 7.1 (11D167)
              Windows 7 Home premium
               Outlook 2010
              Asus G74SX computer
    It is March 27, 2014.
    Suggestions welcome.  I'd like to be able to sync my contacts and calendar.

    Hey Steve,
    I had this problem as well and found a way how to solve this:
    You need to reset your iPhone by pressing the Home button and the Power button simultaneously until the iPhone reboots.
    After it rebooted I unlocked the phone, connected it to my PC and ran the iTunes sync without any problems.
    Hope this helps with your issue as well.
    Best
    Alex

  • My iphone 4s will not allow me to open any apps that I have downloaded. I have tried a few things but still will not allow me to open. Shows they are open once pushing the home button twice. Please help!

    My iphone 4s will not allow me to open applcations that I have downloaded. I have tried a few things but still will not allow me to open. Shows they are open once pushing the home button twice. Please help!

    Pressing the Home button twice does not show you what apps are running. It shows you what apps were recently used.
    Download a free app from the App Store. Once it downloads, your other apps should work properly again.

  • My icloud activation lock is ON my iphone, which requires an activation login to access the homescreen, but when i log in with the apple ID on the phone, it says the apple ID is not meant to unclock this iphone 5 ios 8.0.2. please help me solve this.

    Yes the phone belongs to me. It was purchased from United Kingdom Vodafone to West Africa, i had to factory unlock to use any sim in it. so it belongs to me. I did the activation myself, now after updating my iphone to the latest update, it required a user id and password to activate the phone, but anytime i enter the details, it tells me the user Id is not correct but the password is correct..

  • Installed Windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013 - have to use iCloud Outlook Add-in to sync my Iphone 5 with Outlook - reminders work on iPhone, but reminder window & email reminders don't work in Outlook 2013. Help

    Please follow the steps below to make sure the reminders have been enabled in Outlook:
    On the File tab, click Options.
    Select Advanced in the Outlook Options dialog box.
    In the Reminders section, select Show reminders.

    Hi Sadie. Welcome to the forums.
    If I may say so, you say you've set up your Talk21 email address via Outlook before, and now have Office 2010. The latest version of Outlook is perhaps slightly different to previous, but should be very similar.
    Are you getting actual errors when setting up the account ? or trying to send/receive emails ?
    I believe that the talk21 servers are still working, pop3 (for receiving) is in.talk21.com and smtp (for sending) is out.talk21.com - however if not then you will need to use the trick of adding .t21 at the end of the username, replace @talk21.com with @btinternet.com and use mail.btinternet.com for both servers.
    The problem will be if you still want to use your talk21.com email address as the "From" address - you will need to go through address verification, but perhaps go through that later if required.

    Hello polo-angulo,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the nature and scope of the issue you are describing. If you are saying that you are getting an error code (3004) when you try to restore your iPhone (because you could not remember your passcode), you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using  Windows 7

    I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
    In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
    Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
    I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
    I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

    You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
    You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
    This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
    You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

    My iPhone 4 wont turn on, It wont go passed the charging icon and then when I take the charger out it says it needs charge. Its not the charger as iv tried several and holding lock and home button doesnt work please help!!!!!

    Hello there, Conorjl7.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some good, practical steps for troubleshooting issues with charging:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    Particularly:
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.
