IPhone 3G doesn't sync with Outlook calendar using Exchange

First, let me just say I don't need push email, push contacts or push calendar. I just want my iPhone to sync with my existing Outlook 2007 setup like any other PDA would via ActiveSync, without having to rely on iPhone Enterprise Integration.
There are lots of articles in the knowledge-base and forum that describe how to overcome corruption of PST files, but if you're connecting to an Exchange server you'll notice that you might not even have a PST file. Outlook uses OST files for off-line cache instead and creating a PST as your default storage will cause all of the Exchange content to be delivered to your computer and erased from the server. (not good)
I've looked over all the support articles I could find, tried innumerable variations of install / re-install / disable Outlook plug-ins / start with brand new user attempts to no avail. I still have not found a way around this issue.
I know this is possible because my previous phone (a Treo700w) was able to sync contacts and my calendar without any issues and I naturally expected my iPhone to have *at least* the same capabilities.
Feels like a major design flaw for business users. Now I'm stuck with a super slick phone that doesn't do the number 1 thing I need it to do: sync with my Outlook calendar. Sorry for the rant.
Anyone else having an issue with this? As far as I can tell there's no solution posted for it.

MeatX2, I had read that article already. It describes how to overcome corrupt PST files which doesn't apply in my case.
My primary Outlook file is an OST (off-line cache) and my contacts / calendar are stored on an Exchange server. I could create a PST file and set it as the default storage, but that would cause all of my data to be delivered directly to my Outlook and erased from the server (where it is currently backed up and available from multiple computers, my desktop, laptop, etc).
Doesn't seem like Apple has a solution for syncing from OST files like other PDAs do. The only alternative seems to be their Enterprise Integration product which (despite doing cool things like push email, contacts and calendar) isn't something an end-user can install.
I just need iTunes to sync with my Outlook in the same way my old PDA did. Seems a little absurd that Apple would pitch Outlook sync capabilities and miss such a significant use-case completely.
But thanks for the reply anyway...

  • HT1386 Just downloaded the newest version of Itunes.  Now my Iphone 4s won't sync with Outlook calendar.  Has any one else seen this?

    Just downloaded the newest version of Itunes.  Now my Iphone 4s won't sync with Calendar in XP Outlook.  Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you fix it?  I've already made sure the proper check boxes are on in Itunes and tried the reset sync history.  Also re-downloaded Itunes again.  Same problem.

    Well, OSX 10.9.2 is free, which should solve the iTunes problem, but 10.9.2 isn't bug free, & you'll lose the ability to run any PPC Apps if that important, as well as needing to update many Apps & Printer Drivers.

  • Issues syncing iPhone 5 and iPad mini with outlook calendars

    I am having issues syncing my iPhone 5 and iPad mini with Outlook calendar.  This is a new problem since I upgraded to IOS 7.  I am now using ios 7.0.2.  I have removed air sync for calendars and that has not resolved the issue.  Nothing new on my calendar is syncing to my phone or ipad.  Any suggestions?

    To use AirPlay, you need these:
    iPhone 4 (or later), iPad, iPad mini, or iPod touch (4th generation or later)
    For videos or photos: Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)
    For music: Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), AirPort Express, or AirPlay-enabled speakers or receivers

  • IPhone 3G not Syncing with Outlook Calendar 2007

    Can anyone help, since updating iTunes to version 8.1.0.52 my iPhone will not sync with Outlook Calendar 2007. I have deleted itunes and re-installed as per Apples instructions and this has no effect. Everything was fine up to the point of updating iTunes. iPhone syncs with everything else just fine.
    Regards
    Phil

    I am having the same problem since last update. I thought it was my wife's sync with a Nokia but after deleting that sync it still is not happening and trying to sync the calendar events for hours. Would love for iTunes to fix the problem.
    Does anyone know if you can download an old version of iTunes? Regards Lee

  • How can I sync my iphone to my home computer (to sync with itunes music) AND my work computer (to sync with Outlook calendar)?

    How can I sync my iphone to my home computer (to sync with itunes music) AND my work computer (to sync with Outlook calendar)?

    Sorry iphones are meant to be sync to one iTunes media library.
    You could copy your music and put it on your work computer and then sync it.
    If you try to sync to one and then sync to other its going to wipe the phone and remove the old sync with the new sync.

  • Itune sync with outlook calendar

    everytime itune sync with outlook calendar,
    a calendar folder under Outlook calendar is created.
    iphone only sync with the newly created blank folder
    therefore, nothing.

    Answer Jbieber16:
    Normally, when I sync my HTC (Pocket PC) with my notebook, I just plug USB cord to HTC (micro USB head) and notebook (regular USB head).  Microsoft Mobile Device Center will automatically start and then sync data between HTC and notebook (sync Microsoft Outlook data, musics, photo, and Microsoft Office files in designated folder).
    When sync completed, Microsoft Outlook's contacts, calendar, notes, emails as well as musics, photo, and Microsoft Office files in HTC and Notebook will be identical and updated.
    Without USB cord, it can be synced via Bluetooth (cordless).
    Note: I posted this question because some of my friends using iPhone told me that "data of Microsoft Outlook will partially sync to iPhone via iTune, not all data".  So I check before sync Microsoft Outlook data with my new iPad2.

  • Pearl 8110 will not sync with Outlook Calendar

    I have a Blackberry Pearl 8110, and I upgraded the Desktop Manager, then it quit syncing with outlook calendar.  It does sync with noes, memos, addresses, but no calendar.  when the sync is getting to the calendar it says "please wait" then just kicks me out.  No error message in the log, nothing.  I even retrograded back to 4.7.0.17, but no changed.  Here is what else I have:
    Blackberry 4.5.0 Core Applications 4.5.0
    Blackberry 4.5.0 System Software Properties
    Blackberry MDS runtime Properties 4.5.0.20
    The calendar is the big thing for me.  Any Ideas??
    Thanks

    I just wanted to let you know that I'm having the same problem with my 8120 and it started on the 18th.  I spent 3 hours, 39 minutes, and 42 seconds on the phone with BB support yesterday with no luck and we tried every trick they could think of.  I'll certainly let you know if I find any information since I too can't live without my calendar. 

  • My iphone 5 doesn't sync with itunes on my pc. it says this computer has  previously been synced to another io6 device or iphone? please help what to do?

    My iphone 5 doesn't sync with itunes on my pc. it says this computer has  previously been synced to another io6 device or iphone? please help what to do?

    The error message you're seeing is likely the other way around -- i.e. something like "This iPhone has previously been synced with a different computer".   There's no problem syncing multiple iOS devices to the same computer.
    However, the reverse is not true for the iPhone --  you cannot connect an iPhone to another computer without it being erased, even if you manually manage music and video.  So, it sounds like you've been syncing your iPhone to a different computer?
    Also, 5.1 (not 5.0.1) is the latest iOS.

  • How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

    Hi,
    I installed iCloud PC control panel. I tried to sync my contacts and calendars from Outlook (2007) to the cloud but I gets this message: "Add an e-mail account to Outlook Before setting up iCloud". I have an Hotmail account synced up into my Outlook via Outlook Connector. Can iCloud sync with Hotmail accounts?
    What should I do to get my calendars and contacts synchronize to the cloud. Does Outlook 2007 can be synced by the cloud too?
    How can I set up iCloud sync with Outlook 2007 using Hotmail account?

    I found a way to fix this, it did the trick for me:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3109623
    All you have to do is include a new e-mail account [email protected] (set it as a default) on Outlook with the options that are showed in the thread I linked and you should have the calendars and tasks syncronised. It works perfectly with ipod touch, ipad and Outlook 2010 on windows 7.

    Of course not... it's not supposed to.  There is no issue with that.
    iDevices only show as cameras so that pictures/videos taken with the device can be copied off.
    What troubleshooting has been tried to get iTunes to recognize the device?
    Different sync cable?
    Multiple USB ports?
    Reset or restart or the device?
    Rebooting the computer?

  • How do I set up a calendar on my iphone that doesn't sync with iCloud?

    I have an iPhone, iPad , iMac and Mac mini all connected to iCloud for syncing of iCal, Mail, Address Book etc.
    I want to set up a calendar on my iPhone that doesn't sync to my other devices, so that I can set reminders that will only pop up on the iPhone.
    Can anyone help with advice? Does iCal/iCloud handle this?

    Have read the printer manual, it will contain instructions for connecting it to a network, and then to your Mac. You don't identify this printer so it's difficult to be more specific.
    You can also go to the printer manufacturers website and seek assistance there.

  • IPhone 4 (iOS5) not syncing with outlook 2010 calendar

    Hi Guys,
    My iPhone 4 has been working great for the last few months up until recently.  I have been able to sync with outlook 2010 for both my contacts and calendar using iTunes sync in the past with no problems..  I went to conference last week and got back in the office sync’d yesterday.  Things are not right. My contacts sync, but calendar does not sync either way (phone to PC - PC to phone).  I upgraded to iOS5 and reloaded iTunes and I'm having the same problem.  I also noticed that my sync is taking much, much longer (like there is a conflict somewhere.)   The contacts still sync, but no new/changed calendar entries.  Anyone have this problem and have any ideas how do I can fix it?  Is it a simple setting switch on the iPhone or iTunes?  It's getting very frustrating!!  One of my office mates has been taunting me with his android phone and I’m starting to feel like I might have to do something drastic to get my calendar back on my phone…
    Outlook version is MS Pro Plus 2010 - 14.0.5128.5000 (64-bit)
    iTunes version is 10.5.0.142
    iPhone version is 5.0 (9A334)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hey, man. Sorry I have no solution, but it may not hurt to know you are not the only one.
    I uprgraded a 3GS to iOS 5, set it up to sync with iCloud initially, and then switched back to sync with PC as before. It seems that my calendar was syncing at first, but within a few days it just stopped.
    I also recall a ton of weird "sync conflicts" that I had to resolve, even though the iTunes conflict reslover showed information that was identical in Outlook and iPhone calendar.
    Notes and contacts sync just fine with Outlook 2003 under Windows Vista for me, but calendar will not sync at all any more, either direction.
    I have tried most of the suggestions, including restoring iPhone and creating a whole new user account in Windows and tried syncing iPhone and Outlook via iTunes that way (and both USB and wifi). I did not seem to have any better success.
    This is a disaster. So far I have just been using Notes to MANUALLY sync calendar info between devices.
    I have never given nearly as much thought to Android as I have lately.
    It may be time to call Apple Support, but my previous experiences with them (and the "Geniuses" at the store) were underwhelming.

  • My iphone won't sync with outlook calendar

    My iphone 4 won't sync with my Outlook 2007 calendar.  It was working fine a couple of days ago and now it won't sync!!  Help!!!!

    Does iTunes Show an error message?
    How did you setup syncing with Outlook, are you syncing them via iTunes using USB or Wi-Fi or an Exchange server?
    For more info on USB syncing and all of the other options, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    If you aren't sure try setting up USB syncing again, just connect the iPhone to the computer, open iTunes, click the Info tab across the top of the screen, scroll down to Contacts and choose to sync contacts.
    Contacts
    To sync contacts with your computer, choose  "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
    You can sync your contacts with:
    Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
    Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
    Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
    Address Book (Mac OS X)
    Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
    Note:  If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later  if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.
    Notes:
    When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
    You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
    Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail.  You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.

  • IPhone will no longer sync with Google calendar

    3 days ago my IPhone 4 stopped syncing with Google Calendar. I'm not aware of making any changes. I've done homework & and followed these steps:
    -- Synced with ITunes: not syncing with ICloud; not syncing calendar
    -- redone the Google Mobile setup procedure for my IPhone
    -- limited my IPhone Calendar choices to only Google, i.e nothing checked for "All on my IPhone"
    -- Set the time zone to Houston
    Nothing doing. There are other folks with this problem, but 1 or more of the above worked for them...
    Any ideas? I sure appreciate any help.

    After installing iPhone 3.0 and iTunes 8.2 several weeks ago, my Outlook calendar sync stopped working. I have tried every hint or trick I could find to no avail. The iTunes SW never reports errors, and I cannot determine just where the SW problem exists. I have cleared my iPhone contents and performed a restore/reset from iTunes. I re-installed iTunes several times, including the latest version (8.2.1.6) today, but nothing works. I spoke with an Apple Expert with no success; pleasant and empathetic, but with no troubleshooting skills. He suggested a replacement iPhone, which makes little sense to me.
    I have a colleague at work whose Outlook calendar sync also stopped working after installing the latest SW. Does anyone have insight in this situation?

  • IPhone will no longer sync with Outlook 2007

    I've had my iPhone for about 16 months - the sync with Outlook 2007 worked great until about 3 months ago (I'm guessing previous update to the one that happened today.) No changes to the laptop I synch with - Vista.
    In iTunes under the "Info" tab for Calendars I see the message "No supported calendar application can be found."
    Normal sync for music works and photo uploading works fine.
    Help!
    Thanks!
