How do I use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?

We are attempting to use SharePoint 2010 in combination with Exchange 2010 to implement shared calendars and contact lists throughout our organization. We are able to connect the lists to Outlook 2010, but have been unsuccessful in viewing
the calendars and contact lists from our mobile phones. How do we use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?
In trying to answer this question, we have come across a few different possibilities, all of them falling just short of a long term solution for us. After doing research, we found that Active Sync will only show the default folders of the account. To
solve this, we downloaded an Add-In for Outlook (CodeTwo FolderSync) to synchronize folders and synchronized our SharePoint list with a new Contact list in the default folder. The issue we came across with this method is that the Add-In we are using
is not capable of automatic synchronization. There is a button and it must be clicked after every update is made, which is not ideal for our solution. We then went to the company (CodeTwo) and found server side software (Exchange Sync) that they
offer which will automatically synchronize the folders. After installing that on the Exchange Server, we now are running into the issue of not being able to locate the SharePoint lists on the Exchange Server.
Does anyone happen to know how we can get to the SharePoint lists from the Exchange Server? Has anyone else been able to use shared contacts lists and calendars from SharePoint on their mobile phones using Active Sync? If so, are we in the right
direction with what we have found so far?
Thanks,
Brad

You cannot use ActiveSync for that, but there are SharePoint clients for the iPhone. Windows Mobile 7 natively supports SharePoint with SharePoint Workspace Mobile, part of Microsoft Office Mobile. Android and BlackBerry might also have some apps.

HT1692 Have recently installed itunes and outlook on a new computer. Have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, Help!

My new computer is 64-bit running Windows 7 pro, SP1 and Microsoft Office 2010 Pro Plus 32-bit
My phone is a 4S runing iOS 6.1.3
Very frustrated now that I have recently installed itunes and outlook on this new computer. Everything worked perfectly ok on my laptop which was also 64-bit Windows 7 and running 32-bit Microsoft Office 2010 Pro. I have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook tho only use contacts and calendar in relation to one of these. Cannot sync itunes with the correct contacts and calendars, when I sync the calendar and contacts are empty. Not sure if there is any way to point itunes to particular address books and calendars.
I have installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times and thank goodness have a backup
Can anyone help please?
thanks in anticipation

I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

How do I configure itunes to look for my Outlook contacts and calendar?

Being fairly new with the iPhone, how do I configure itunes to look for my Outlook contacts and calendar? At the moment,when I try to sync, I get the "No supported calendar application can be found" message. Thanks!

You could try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923, then reinstalling iTunes. This will replace a potentially corrupt Outlook plugin. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

Sync data between third-party contacts and calendar apps, and the native apps, in 10.9.3+?

I've had to refrain from updating my Mac Pro from 10.8.5 to 10.9 owing to the removal of SyncServices. I then read that SyncServices was re-introduced on a limited basis in 10.9.3.
It seems unlikely, but I'd like to know whether or not SyncServices in 10.9.3 re-enables the syncing of data between third-party contacts & calendar apps and the native apps, and thereby enables syncing of contacts and calendar info between third-party apps and iOS devices over USB via iTunes. This is the method I use exclusively by choice in 10.8.5, and I will not change it to a cloud-based solution under any circumstances.
If it is not possible, is there a third-party workaround? My calendar app on the Mac Pro at the moment is BusyCal, syncing with Week Cal on the iPhone, but I'll happily buy a new combo of apps if it means I can upgrade to Mavericks and retain USB syncing.
EDIT: a solution which permits syncing of a third-party calendar app on the Mac Pro with a third-party calendar app on the iPhone over an ad-hoc wireless network would also be acceptable, I suppose.

Well, that's pretty disappointing. I guess Apple believes Internet is free and everywhere.

Does iTunes 11.1 now sync with Outlook 2013 for Contacts and Calendar?

Previously I could sync and iPhone 4/4S with Outlook 2010 Contacts and Calendar but it stopped working when I moved to Outlook 2013.
Does anyone know if this has now been fixed with iTunes 11.1?
Thanks.

Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing

Apple has posted a new technical note outlining procedures for dealing with contact and event synchronization anomalies when the following conditions apply, and a reset has not resolved the issues:
• your issue does not involve MobileMe
• you have already reset MobileMe
• you've already performed the Reset Sync History procedure
Recommendations are categorized by their relationship to calendar data and contacts, and links to each procedure can be found in the technical note.

These errors seem to be due to syncing via iCloud and iTunes Apple advises to use one or the other, see reference link: If you see duplicate contacts after setting up iCloud Contacts - Apple Support.
Before correcting these duplication errors I highly recommend backing up your info. see reference link:
Archive or make copies of your iCloud data - Apple Support to backup your info. Make sure to backup iCal, Address Book, Mail, etc. before and after de-duplicating.

Is there a way to sync gmail accounts, contacts and calendar to my android phone through iCloud?

I have an iMac, a MacBook Pro, an iPad, an iPod Touch, and an Android phone. I can get iCloud to sync all my mail, calendars, and contacts across all my Apple devices with no problem. Does anybody know if there is a way to get my Android to sync my calendars and contacts from iCloud?

I set up manual accounts with my iPhone 3G. You can try to enter the server accounts for iCloud manually on you Android device and try it out.

Can't sync contacts and calendar from PC/Outlook to Q10

Similar to another post, but here are the two error messages that I have gotten over the past two days, trying to sync:
CPreferences Manager: Configuration Value for 1 Preferences/Account_1_65538/Device Pin not set in Transconfig.xml for translator Rim BB
CR Tran Rec:: Get Modified Info: Modified Info not available
In some instances, BB Link indicates that Sync successfully completed, but new contacts and calendar entries on PC were not added to Q10
Article posted to similar post was not helpful. Any other ideas?

Issue continues today, third day running. This time, same error message as the first one above except "Account_1_65537"
Can anyone help? By way of background, I have been able to sync before although have not done so for quite awhile. Getting very frustrated!
Thanks

Apparently Sync Manager is turned off for syncing my contacts and calendar to using Blackberry Desktop Software - how can I switch it ON?

I upgraded to Mac OS 10.9 a few months ago.
Up till then I was happily able to sync mac Contacts and Calendar to my Blackberry Curve 9320 via Blackberry's Desktop Manager (for Mac).
Since upgrading the software tells me to that Mac Sync Manager is turned off. I know it isn't because everything else is syncing.
When I hunt through your support I find that there are solutions for this problem for other Mac OS versions but not for Maverick, so please tell me how I can once again use my business phone happily as I did before upgrading!
Many thanks
Janet

BlackBerry Desktop Software utilizes Apple's SyncServices technology in order to synchronize Contact, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks information to and from the Mac computer.
BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronizes information with the SyncServices database, which is synchronized with the desktop applications on the Mac computer (for example: Apple Address Book, iCal, Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook for Mac). BlackBerry Desktop Software does not synchronize directly to or from the desktop applications on the Mac computer.
Mac OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later does not use SyncServices, therefore, it is not possible to synchronize Contact or Calendar information using the BlackBerry Desktop Software on these versions of OS X.
For more information on SyncServices and OS X Mavericks, see the following Apple Support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
Note: BlackBerry Desktop software 2.4 is still supported for use with Mac OS X v10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

How to sync bb/outlook/gmail contacts and calendar

i have a bb 9530 and outlook 2007 running on a 64-bit windows 7 pc. i use outlook to view my gmail. i also have the bb gmail app on my phone and that keeps email in sync between gmail servers and the phone as well as outlook since it is setup for an imap account. so that's all good.
the problem is that i need to know the best way to keep my contacts and calendar in sync as well. since i can't "imap" my gmail contacts and calendar, there are 3 different locations to sync for those.
also, the gmail sync app for outlook has alot of problems on windows 7 and 64-bit vista or 7 so that didn't work either.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks... dave

I have the same problem. Did you learn how to solve this?
Thanks,

Since OS 6 upgrade unable to sync contacts and calendar, receive the following error message: Help Apple improve its products by sending us diagnostic and usage information about iCloud. By sending this message, you agree that Apple will collect and use

Unable to sync contacts and calendar with HP Laptop using MS Outlook 2010 and I-phone 4gs since OS 6 upgrade

The activation server is gone for AA7, but not AA8 as understand it. You will need to do the updates for AA8 to be effective on Win7. It is questionable that it will run on WIn8 (I have no clue for a MAC).
Your conversation is an example of how many of us got here in the first place. It is fantastic that you were able to hold on and get the problem resolved. Not exactly sure of the solution, but there does seem to be light at the end of the tunnel for folks. Normally, with activation problems like yours, we recommend calling Adobe Support for them to reset the activations. I was just wanting to get a heads up about AA8 on the newer systems. Folks have been successrul on Win7 with the updates, but the results for Win8 are still not known in general. There have been some suggestions, but nothing more. As long as it works for you that is great. For our info, what OS are you running?

How can I sync contacts and calendar via iTunes 11.1.8 to iOS 3.1.3 (iPhone 1)?

I am proud owner of an iPhone 1 and it still works fine, but runs on iOS 3.1.3. I updated my 2 year old iMac to Mac OS X (10.9) and I am now using iTunes 11.1.8. Actually, I bought my iMac because I was so enthusiastic to see how smooth syncing with my iPhone worked. Now, since OS X, I can not sync calendar and contacts anymore. I had to reset my iPhone and start from scratch, so contacts and calendar are empty.
Sync via iTunes does not work anymore because Apple deleted the direct sync function and my iPhone's iOS does not support iCloud.
Sync via CalDav does not work, beause for some reason my iCloud account is not approved when trying to create it in mail/calendar/contacts (I tried several times, crosschecked, all data appear correct to me and work in the browser access).
Sync via Google does not work, because obviously, my iOS does not support their calendar and contacts function.
Sync via Windows PC might work, but I would have to set one up from scratch.
Downgrading to iTunes 10.7 failed, because OS X didn't allow it. Downgrading the Mac OS might be an option, but I am already running e.g. Books and using it a lot.
Any help is welcome.
Iris
P.S.: I still remember Steve Jobs saying "it simply works!"

Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?
