Ipad/iphone shifts calendar times +1hr after syncing with Outlook or ical

Hi,
I am having a problem when I sync my (PC) outlook calendar to my iphone(OS4.1) or ipad.(And my wife is having exactly the same problem when she syncs her iphone/ipad with her macbook pro (she uses ical/snow leopard)).
I live in a time zone that is GMT +3hrs. There is no summer time change here. Both devices are set to GMT +3Hrs with no summer time changes / daylight savings.
Every month I upload a calendar electronically to Outlook (from a program called Roster2Outlook) and occasionally enter some data into it manually on my PC and on my iphone/ipad.
The problem is this:-
When I sync my PC with my iphone/ipad the times on the iphone/ipad are always 1 hour later than displayed on my calendar in outlook on my PC. I then have to modify the times on my iphone and take off 1hour. If I enter an event on my iphone it appears in my calendar in Outlook 1 hour earlier (after a sync).
I get several monthly changes to my schedule and then when I update my outlook calender and sync it to my iphone again, all the times appear 1Hr later on my iphone and have to be manually adjusted.
This may seem trivial, but when one event is added on one device and it shows up at a different time on another device, it gets very confussing, as you never know which time is correct in your calendar, as it depends on which device you entered it and whether you synced it or not! I am tearing my hair out.
I also sync my calandar to my ipad, which appears to be doing the same thing.
So, to cut a long story short, any idea's why this is happening and how to fix it? (Please don't tell me I have the wrong time zone set on a device - because I haven't - they are all on the same time zone!)
I did have an idea that I could "shift" the calendar that I electronically upload to Outlook back by 1 Hour, so that the times would be 1Hr wrong in outlook but correct on my iphone and ipad (the devices that I predominantly use) but this still doesn't solve the problem of it being a bodge!
Any ideas / solutions much appreciated. Anyone else having this problem?
Please help!
Cheers,
i eye.

I figured out my iPad sync issue. First of all, I swore up and down I had all my time zone preferences set correctly in both google calendar and on my iPad. I was wrong.
There are two places in google calendar that can cause an issue:
(1) Settings>Calendar Settings>General
(2) Settings>Calendar Settings>Calendars>[Individual Calendar]
There are two places on the iPad to check:
(1) Settings>General>Date & Time (however I think this might not do anything because.....)
(2) Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Calendars>Time Zone Support (this was the elusive one for me)
But It's fixed now and I'm happy.

IPhone Calendar wiped out after sync with an empty Outlook 2003 Calendar

I need some help.
iPhone Calendar wiped out after sync with an empty Outlook 2003 Calendar.
Unable to restore from backup as my iPhone was backed-up before I realised my calendar info was gone.
I found an old backup file in my old disk but was unable to move the old calendar data to the empty outlook after restore. It just keep wiping out after I sync.
Thanks.

I have managed to find an old back up to restore my iPhone. However even with at least one entry in my outlook, my calendar details on my iPhone was still wiped out and was not transferred to my outlook.

Events created on my iPhone 5 calendar are no longer syncing with iCal.

Events created on my iPhone 5 calendar are no longer syncing with iCal on my Macbook Pro (Lion OSX). It works fine the other way around.
I can't understand why, and cannot find a solution. Please help!

You can no longer sync via iTunes. That method of sync was removed (and the 1000+ post thread is arguments over things tangientally related to that).
You need to sync via other means than iTunes, then.
One option is to use iCloud. If you sign into iCloud on all your devices, and then make sure your calendars are in the "iCloud" section on your devices, they should sync.
If you don't want to use iCloud, you could use Google calendars, they operate much the same way (but may be less reliable).
Or if you use Exchange for work, you could sync that way.
Or if none of those are acceptable, you could install OS X Server and set up the calendar server on your local network and use it to sync. This is fairly straightforward "for setting up a UNIX calendar server" but it's not trivial and beyond the scope of a forum post to explain it all

IPhone 3GS calendar is no longer syncing with iCal

iPhone 3GS calendar is no longer syncing with iCal since upgrade to Lion. No issues prior to upgrade. Ideas?

I am having the same problem. I have snow leopard and since I upgraded to itune 5.0, I have had nothing but problems. In icloud, all of my events quadrupled which then caused all my ical events to do the same on my computer and phone. What a nightmare! The apple support guy had never seen anything like it! I have since cleaned up my calendar on both my phone and macbook, but now any event I add to my phone does not show up during sync. I noticed that when I go into mail, contacts, calendars and then go into my gmail account, the calendar button is set to off. If i try to switch it on, I get a message asking what I would like to do with the local calendars on my phone. I am afraid to do anything so I just cancel! Any thoughts? The calendar on my computer is current so I could always over write my phone during a sync--but still unsure. Thanks

Iphone contact's phone number not synced with Outlook

Hi,
I have a contact with 4 phone numbers. That contact syncs with outlook in most cases (e. g. a change in a "note" is transfered both ways correctly).
But: The "private" phone number never shows up in Outlook.
I already reset the sync history.
Any other ideas are warmly appreciated!
Ulrich
PS. Itunes syncs with Outlook 2007

Well, I fixed it myself. In Outlook, I checked each appointment for a bad reminder time. My default time is 30 minutes. ONE entry showed 0 minutes. I changed it to 30, synced, and lo and behold, I have my calendar back! I can't believe that is all it took.

Private records are no longer private after sync with Outlook 2007

I just synced my Palm Zire 71 with Outlook 2007 for the first time. All went well except that my private notes were no longer private. This means that anyone who gets a hold of my handheld and downloads to their Outlook would have all my private information. Is there a fix for this?
Post relates to: Zire 71

Well, I fixed my problem.
I'm not sure how or why, and I'm not sure it'll work for anyone else, but here's what I did.
1. I started by making a backup copy of my Outlook calendar, as I always do.
2. Next, I deleted all the appointments from my Outlook calendar, except for two. No special reason why I left those two in; it was just convenient and I don't think it made any difference.
3. Next, I sync'd Outlook with my iPhone. This produced an empty calendar on the iPhone (except for the two leftover appointments). This is a big step forward. Previously, syncing would produce no change on the iPhone. Now the two calendars actually match, so something significant has changed.
4. Finally, I opened the backed-up Outlook calendar side-by-side with my current (mostly empty) Outlook calendar and copy-pasted all the appointments back in. One final sync and now Outlook and iPhone have the same calendar, including all appointments!
5. To test, I made a small change to the Outlook calendar, sync'd, and the change appeared on the iPhone. Then I made a small change to the iPhone calendar, sync'd, and the change appeared in Outlook. Problem solved!
6. My guess is that deleting (almost) everything from Outlook's calendar must have cleared up some subtle data error. Fortunately, pasting all the appointments back in didn't bring the error back. The delete-copy-paste process seems to "scrub" the data and fix the iTunes sync problem. At least in this case.

Ios8 - contact and calendar notes won't sync with Outlook

After the ios8 upgrade, I have found that any note in either a contact or a calendar entry made on my iphone 5 won't sync with my office Outlook account, nor will any changes made to notes in a Contact in Outlook, update on my phone. All worked fine pre-ios 8. Anyone have a solution - have tried deleting accounts, re-booting, etc? Thanks

Email type set to work after sync with Outlook 2003

I just spent a while going through my mail contacts on the iPhone setting them all properly - 'home' email if it was a personal address and 'work' if it was their work address. It appears that all email addresses show as 'work' ones when you start out. I just came up and connected the iPhone to the PC for it to update Outlook, and now all the Contact email types are all back to 'work' again on the iPhone.
Does anyone know how to avoid this?
Thanks,
Tom

I had this happen to me on numerous occasions. I never was able to figure out where the numbers went to, so I started using google sync which uses PUSH through(Microsoft exchange). Its free and it works well because it always keeps a copy of my contacts on my gmail account. As I add them to my phone they are sync'd and stored in my Gmail contacts. I love it especially when I have to restore my iPhone or something to that nature. All I have to do is put the account info back into my iPhone and two seconds later all my contacts are back on my phone. Plus you do not have to sync your phone with Outlook every time you get a new contact... Hopefully everything works out well for you!!!

All contacts lost after Syncing with Outlook (Windows)

Hi folks,
i had sorted out all of my wifes contacts on her iPhone. You know, all had proper phone numbers, street adresses, e-mail adresses and so on.
Than i wanted to sync them to my Outlook, but i didn't want some old Outlook contacts to get on the phone, so i removed all Outlook contacts from the contacts folder (made a backup, clever me).
Then i set the iPhone to sync contacts with outlook. iTunes asked if it's allright if more than 5% of my PC contacts are beeing changed, i clicked "Yes", figured the contacts on the phone are whats interesting to me, nevermind the contacts on the pc.
So here's what itunes did:
It copied two new contacts from the iphone which previously haven't been on the pc, to the pc and deleted all the rest from the iphone (except the two new).
Since the iPhone was my only source of the new and improved contacts, all my work that i have put in there (better part of three hours) is gone.
I am not sure if i should shout, scream or just enter it all again with dignity...
Is there any way to restore the contacts? Or to prevent something like this from happening again?

Yep me too. Installed 10.2 onto my Windows 7 PC. Had no issues sycning with Windows Contacts previously, now I can't get them onto my iPhone 4 at all. Tried all the suggestion from Apple Support, still nothing.
Very unimpressed.

After upgrade to iOS 4.3.4 to iPhone 4 I can no longer sync with outlook 2007.

Initially calendar just hung (overnight). Tried overwriting from PC and my phone calendar is now blank? Tried to sync again and contacts also appeared to hang for 30 mins so cancelled sync. Any ideas?

Hi Raleigh,
I didn't know of that article but I'm glad to know it now!
Oddest thing... I restarted my computer and tried to sync my iPhone again and no errors.
I'm not sure if the error was a fluke, or this "self-resolution" was a fluke...
But in either case, I'm going to bookmark that article you gave me and HOPE that I remember I have it bookmarked! LOL!
Raleigh, thank you for taking the time to respond and point me in the right direction!

How do i get rid of calendar info after syncing with outlook calendar?

i synced my fifth gen ipod 80GB with my outlook calendar, now i get appointments popping up all the time which is really annoying but i don't know how to stop it from happening... any help appreciated

You only need to post once. You have to have some patience. I posted this response in your other question as well.
Don't open those emails, swipe across them in the preview window to bring up the red delete button and use that.
If the mail app is frozen and you can't do anything in it, close it from the recents tray and reboot the iPad.
From your home screen, double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail app icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My iphone 5 creates 2 folder after sync with itunes

When i sync my photos in iphone using itunes it creates 2 folders No 1. is photo library and 2 is the folder which i sync and when i sync another it deletes previous one phtots in my iphone plz help..........

You're welcome. To sync multiple folders of photos to your phone you need to enable syncing of selected folders on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, enabling you to check more than one folder at a time. If you are running Windows, for example, you may have all your photo folders in the My Pictures folder on your computer. In this example, you would choose Sync Photos from My Pictures, then choose Selected folders, then check all the folders containing the photos you want on your phone. This would be similar to the image below:
As mentioned earlier, the combined photos from all the folders will appear on your phone in the photo library album and each of the individual folders will appear as separate albums, but will only contain links to the photos in photo library, not duplicate photos.

IPad 3 Mailboxes not showing even after syncing with iMac and switching on SSL and port readings the same; even tried rebuild. Switched iPad off, rebooted and discovered settings went back to preset?

Hi to all techies,
Ipad3 with new iMail does not show mailboxes. Have tried swithcing SSL on and making port same number 993 as imac; then telling imail in imac to synchronise but to no avail still no mailboxes appearing on ipad mail. My husbands new ipad air worked straight away same OS?

I'm sorry. I probably wasn't clear enough in my response. What I am saying is that one can create mailboxes in the Mac mail app and those mailboxes can be for local storage only - the "on my Mac" mailboxes. Those do sync to any other device. The ability to creat those mailboxes is a feature of the Mac mail app.
You cannot create additional mailboxes on the iPad unless your email account is an IMAP account. I am not familiar with BT internet at all so I don't know if you have IMAP or not. I assume that your husband has the same email provider and if his mailboxes did sync to the iPad, then yours should as well.
You can check to be sure if you don't know if your email account is an IMAP account. If you go to your email account in the iPad Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom. If an new mailbox appears, you have IMAP.
If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.
