I fixed my Calendar syncing problems with Outlook

I have fixed my "1 day out" syncing with Outlook.
The solution below worked for me, but if you are unsure or a bit dubious then please take advice first....I'm far from a computor genius !!
When I first downloaded 9.1.1.12 mine didn't work either for all the current calendar entries, but it did work for anything new.
So here's what I did.
Firstly if you have your i-Tunes set to "auto sync" when you connect your i-Phone then disable that. That's very important. Then in Outlook create a new calendar and just name it "calendar 2" or something. The new calendar will be completely blank. Then connect your i-Phone as normal. When you have the syncing page on i-Tunes in front of you click on the "info" tab and scroll down to the calendar section. Here you have the option to sync all calendars or selected calendars. After a while the new calendar you have created should appear in the calendar section. Check the box that says "sync selected calendars" and then check the box next to the newly created calendar, making sure the original calendar is not checked. Then scroll down further to the advanced area of the page where you can select information to be synced and check the calendar box. This area allows one way syncing from Outlook to the i-Phone. Once this is done click "apply" and the phone will start to sync. When finished your i-Phone calendar will be completely blank. Now go back to Outlook and "copy" your original calendar into the new calendar. Once this is done go back to the sync section in i-Tunes and repeat the sync again making sure the new calendar is selected only to sync and the calendar box in the advanced section is checked also. This will then sync your calendar back to your i-Phone correctly, well at least it all worked for me. Ideally it's best to then delete the original calendar from Outlook leaving only the newly created one there but I'm not sure it's always possible to delete the original one so just make sure you always use the new one and that when syncing you always have the new calendar selected.
I hope this helps some of you if you're still having problems.
My PC uses Microsoft Vista with Office 2003 and I have an i-Phone 3.1.3

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.

8130 Calendar sync problems with Outlook 2007

I have Sprint 8130...and all is okay...until today. I am used to Active sync (from my old HTC Mogul), not RIM software. When I sync'd a week ago, the first time, all was great (accept for the confusion I still have about where the inet explorer favorites went). Today, I plugged in for the second time. All seemed great, except that now most of my calendar items are no longer in Outlook. They are still in my Pearl, though.
I have tried to sync the other way, but to no avail. Ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So, that did not work, and I ended up on a differnt board where I found the answer....it is a known software glitch with DM since 12/07. It happens when you have multiple email addresses set up on your phone. It can work fine for weeks/months, then one day it just happens. It can happens no matter who your provider is. RIM still has not fixed the sofware issue (unless the Altel .81 fixed it...). It results from having 'multiple calendars' and only one syncing back to Outlook. The only way to fix the issue was the following:
a) Make certain Outlook is COMPLETELY up to date. Manually enter any calendar items on the BB which have not been synced over to Outlook.
b) On your BB, look at Calendar > Options > and you will see the different calendars available. Go back to the main calendar page and and press Menu, and you can view the calendars for each email profile. Decide which email profile you want your calendar entries to reside under, and which is your primary email address for this.
c) Go to Options > Advanced > Service Books. Highlight over AND delete the entries for ALL other email addresses other than your PRIMARY email address.
d) Go to Options > Advanced > Default Services, and make sure ONLY the one primary email you desire is listed there.
e) Now, connect your BB to your PC via USB, and open Desktop Manager.
f) Now, with your Outlook completely updated manually, do this:
1. Connect your BB via USB to your PC, and Open Desktop Manager on your PC.
2. Open up Backup/Restore > Advanced.
3. From Advanced you'll see a split pane screen. You won't see anything in the left pane. In the right pane will be the databases currently on your handheld device.
4. Highlight on the right side your Address Book database (OR your Calendar database) and click the CLEAR button at the bottom of that screen.
5. After it's finished, close the Backup/Restore window, and check the device to make sure the address book (or Calendar) has properly cleared out.
6. Now, re-sync the necessary contact (or Calendar information) from Outlook (or your database) and you should be set to go.
g) With all that completed, and your calendar appearing in BB... remove the battery on your BB (powered ON) and reboot the BB. This should resend the Service Books for the other email addresses you had deleted earlier. If you find after an hour they are not back, resend the service books from your carrier BIS site.
h) return to Options > Advanced > Default Services and make sure your primary email is still the default email. You want to leave your primary showing in the screen, and save.
I hope this might help some other people. THere is talk about all Calendar syncing issues eing related to this issue (except obvious user issues like not syncing all appointments).
Thanks for you time yesterday.

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.

Calendar Sync Problems with Outlook 2007

I have had my 8300 Curve for about a month now and have had no trouble with syncs until today. Some how my Outlook appointments were deleted, but they remain on my Curve. I have tried various sync configurations to transfer this data from my Curve to Outlook. After the sync, the items remain on my Curve but are not available on Outlook. If I manually enter an appointment on Curve, it will sync, but the other past and future appointments will not.
I have also tried a hard reset, but no luck.
Any ideas?

Hello,
I receive email on my device from two addresses: 1) @sprint.blackberry.net and 2) @charter.net. When I was having problems similar to those you are experiencing, I had these two addresses listed under Default Services - Calendar (CICAl) - Messaging (CMIME). These addresses were @sprint.blacberry.net and @charter.net. Once I followed the steps previously referenced, only one email address(@sprint.blackberry.net) appeared under the (CICAI) and (CMMIE) default setting. Reference to @charter.net was removed. My syncs have worked correctly since then; however, I only two way synce with the device and Outlooks. I also continue to get emails from both addresses without a problem.
If you don't mind giving up the Yahoo calendar, I would do the same. If you want to continue using the Yahoo calendar, I'm guessing that it must be selected in the Default Services - Calendar (CICAI) before performing a sync. Likewise for your @sprint.blackberry.net address; it also must be selected in the Default Services prior to performing a device to Outlook sync.
I hope this helps.

Sync problems with outlook 2007 calender

I am new in this type of comms.
BUT: I have a Palm Tungsten T5; have Palm Desktop 6.2.2 with the update for Windows7.
I have a sync problem with outlook 2007 calender; contacts, ToDo, memos all ok.
HotSynLog says: there are multi-day repeating records. [i knew that they do not sync, hence i deleted them PRIOR to syncing]
I found the listed records BUT either on dif days and they are "no timed" ones! and NOT multi-days ones.
I deleted them anyway - did a re-sync. With no different result. Still listed - though deleted and now non-existent.
Error code: OLERR: 03-000F (0xaf604005) and others - if this means anything.

Sync problems with Outlook

Hi all.
Just got me.com up and running (trial) and almost everything work as it should. However I cannot get me.com to sync folders with Outlook. At me.com I have Inbox, Drafts, Sent and Trash folders. But in Outlook 2007 I only got Inbox and Unwanted-mail folders. If I delete a message in my Inbox at me.com the message is moved to Trash, but in Outlook there's a line through the header in the Inbox, probably because there is no Trash folder.
Anyone knows what could be wrong and how to solve this problem?
Best regards,
Michael
P.S. Sometimes I get an errormessage from Outlook saying, that folders cannot be synced, because there is no connection to the me.com server?

one of the recurrent event in your Outlook calendar is faulty. Find it and delete it or modify it.

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.

Calendar sync problem with Mail for Exchange

I have troubles syncing my calendar with Mail for Exchange.
I've configured MfE the same way I did on my N8-00 and it worked perfectly there. On my new N9 it just syncs Mail and the ToDo list of from the Exchange Server. Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?
Also, when I remove my MfE settings, the Calendars still are in the Calendar App. How can I delete them?

Hi,
There could be some problem with the contact sync, because you had synched with MFE . Remove the existing sync for Mail for exchange and then try creating a new sync and then check, That should maybe solve the issue.
I had mfe configured and then removed and now then i sync with the Address book and Ical. Seems to be working fine for me, just that i use a N95.
Hopefully it fixes, let me know the outcome.
Cheers

Sync problems with Outlook 2007

I had some problems with syncing to outlook 2007: the agenda and contacts where not syncing anymore. I have a 32G 2nd gen iPod Touch (4.1) and using iTunes 10.0.1.22.
Details: some weeks ago suddenly the address and contacts items did not sync anymore in both directions. No error messages appeared after sync, so all looked fine. I found this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 and noticed that creating a new user account on the PC did work. So, first I tried reinstalling iTunes (because when creating a new user account on the PC it also creates a new iTunes session): no result. Then I repaired outlook 2007 (go to control panel – software - and select change/delete at office 2007) and guess what: the problem was resolved. I just want to share this with you, that repairing outlook could help resolving this problem. Maybe this also works for other versions outlook.
Good luck!

Desktop Software v7 Sync Problems with Outlook

Hi all, We've just upgraded our copies of desktop software from v6 to v7, however an error message now appears during synchonisation:
"ERROR: COLTransbase::MoveFirstSummaryRecord: Unable to move to first or next row."
Clicking "OK" removes the error message, synchronisation continues but no new entries are synced to the phone, this happens regardless of what the data is (calendar, notes, contacts etc.) The PC this problem occurs on is running Windows XP SP3, with Outlook 2003 connected to Exchange Server 5.5 SP4 via MAPI. The phone is a BB Torch 9800. This setup worked perfectly with Desktop Software v6.
Some troubleshooting steps I've tried, with no success:
Completely uninstalling v7 including removing registry entries and program folders then reinstalling a clean version
Powering off the phone (including removing the battery) and powering it back up again
Creating a new blank calendar in Outlook with NO entries then configuring desktop software to ONLY sync to that calendar
Using the "delete data" feature to delete calendar data off the phone then attempting to resync
I've tried looking for Desktop Software v6 off the Backberry website but can't find it, any link just sends me to v7!
Fortunately I had a copy of Desktop Software v6.01 saved, so I completely removed v7, reinstalled v6.01, connected the phone and now ALL data synchronises with no errors, I even created a new test entry in Outlook's calendar, resynced and it appeared on the phone.
I'm stumped! Any suggestions would be most welcome...

Create one contact in outlook and save it. Close outlook, then sync blackberry desktop and outlook. It should be fine.

Sync Problem with Outlook

I am running
PC Suite 7.1.51.0
Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit
Bluetooth
Previously all was working well with PC Suite (an Ovi Suite) but in the last few days it will not sync Calendar items. The sync runs and i get a message "1 warning" In PC Suite the warning is just "Microsoft Outlook". In Ovi Suite I get Microsoft Outlook - reinstall Outlook.
I have the same problem with a Vista 64bit SP2 system - same message. I have reinstalled Outlook and PC Suite and have had no improvement.
Any Suggestions

The best option would be to sync your files with Syncmate. You can sync different file types on differnet platforms. Files such as calendar, music, videos, contacts, images can be synchronized on different platforms including Mac, Windows Phone, Blackberry either through a USB Cable/ Wi-Fi. It's awesome, I tried it already. More info: http://www.optimum-systems.com/2013/08/mac-sync-software.html

Calendar Sync Issue with Outlook 2007 / Exchange

Contacts are syncing fine.
I;ve tried Outlook 2003 and 2007... same problem with both.
Here's the error:
Microsoft Office Outlook
'OutlookSyncClient' exited without properly closing your Outlook data file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Brandon\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.ost'. 'Microsoft Office Outlook' must be restarted. If this error message recurs, contact support for 'OutlookSyncClient' for assistance.
Any help would be appreciated.

So here's the only solution I've got so far and obviously it is not ideal...
I switched to a different computer and installed outlook 2003. No calendar at all prior to this. Installed iTunes 7.4.x and plugged in the iPhone. I told it to sync contacts and calendar (merge) with Outlook. I DID NOT connect this outlook client to the exchange server at all.
Worked like a charm. I still have no idea how to get this working with Exchange. OST by default is the way cached exchange stored files... so I'm welcome to any suggestions for somehow getting everything into a clean pst file that still syncs for offline use with exchange.
APPLE - outlook sync is an issue. It's not just me (google search proves it).

Nokia 6230 Contacts Sync Problem with Outlook

I have a Nokia 6230 and used to sync my contacts with outlook using PCSYNC. Now I receive a message that sync is completed but only 1 or 2 contacts are copied to the outlook (always the same ones). I have already updated the PC Synch version many times, tried to change configurations on PC Sync and on the phone, created new folders on outlook and sync profiles, cleaned the configuration files on "documents and settings" folder, contacted Nokia phone suport in Brazil, but nothing worked.
I use Windows 2000 SP4 in English, connect through Infrared and have the 6.81.13.0 version of PC Sync (I have already tried many other versions). I'm using Phone memory. When I use PC Sync explorer those same few contacts that are synchronized are the only ones that I can see in the contacts folder.
I think the problem is in some configuration file in Windows environment or I have a problem with the phone set.
Please if anyone could help me I would apreciate. I have lost many hours trying to fix that problem.

Today I searched through the discussions and found many other users with the same problem (Himalaya2050, Marbru, tugrulislier). Almost everybody using Nokia6230 and using international character set, maybe the root cause for the sync problem.
I think Nokia should have a tested fix for that problem.
Was the phone update the solution for other users? Do you have any feedback? I haven't found in the discussions any user with that problem solved.
When I first contact Nokia support in Brazil they told me to do many time consuming procedures (reinstall and update PC sw many times) that didn't worked and didn't make sense for me, as the sync was working with previous version. So I don't want to try another non tested solution, because I will have to go to a tech assistance, wait and probably loose all the information stored on the phone.
I think I will have to exchange my phone ...
