IPhone calendar sync w Windows 8 Outlook 2013

I am using the Outlook 2013 calendar. I want my iPhone to sync up with this Outlook 2013 client-(not cloud) based calendar, but during an iTunes sync, it seems to pick up the Win8 Calendar app instead.
Any advice? I'm at my wit's end.
Thanks
(and yes, I shoulda bought a Mac...)

OK, my wonderful husband figured this out. He tapped the iPhone calendar app, then the button called "calendars" in the upper lefthand corner, and got a screen that lists the calendars that should show. He clicked only on the "From My PC" calendar, and left the others unclicked.
The root of my problem, IMHO, is that MS Win8 has a horrible calendar app that won't even sync with the MS Outlook Client calendar. The Win8 cloud-based calendar app does a really sloppy job on timezones - an event doesn't even have a visible "timezone" designation. That's why I couldn't use it.
On the other hand, what did expect buying Win8?

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.

Sync calendar and contacts between Outlook 2013 and iPhone 4

I am trying to sync my calendars and contacts between Outlook 2013 (Office 365 Home Premium) and my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.0.4). I have created a confusing mess for myself and do not recognize all of the calendars that appear in Outlook or the iPhone. I
abandoned the use of the iCloud because the iCloud calendar invitations my coworkers received in MS Outlook are too confusing to read.
Is there a proven process for syncing when i add a new contact or calendar event in one device so that it shows up simultaneously in the other? If the process is too laborious, is there an Outlook add-on?
I have tried the Exchange ActiveSync but I can't get this to work smoothly. I can't move recurring calendar events that started in the past. Further, I have to navigate 2 separate data files in outlook to find the right calendar or inbox.
I am not sure if Exchange and Exchange ActiveSync are the same or not.
Additionally, this is a private domain address (my work email).

Hi,
Basically, Exchange ActiveSync and Exchange are two different sets of protocols, but both of them have the feature to sync contacts and calendars between different devices.
If your company provides an Exchange account for you, just setup it in Outlook Client, it will sync the contacts and calendars between clients and the Server.
If you have an Outlook.com(Hotmail) or any other email account that supports Exchange Activesync, just set it up in Outlook, the contacts and calendars will also sync.
As for iPhone, just make sure it also uses the same protocol.
If there's anything wrong with the account sync on PC, rename the current data file to ".old", let Outlook create a new one to sync, or we can create a new profile to setup the account:

How do I set up my iphone to sync with my outlook account?

How do I set up my iphone to sync with my outlook account?

Hi maryannmc,
You have two options.
1. You can plug the iPhone into iTunes and select the "Info" tab and choose "Sync Mail Accounts" and this will transfer the settings across.
2. In the iPhone you can go to Settings > General > Mail, Contacts and Calendars and choose "Add account"
You will need to know if your account is POP, IMAP or Exchange and this will help determine what settings you need to enter and how to set it up so both your computer and iPhone can receive email.
The iPhone can add most popular accounts with ease such as gmail, yahoo or hotmail.
Hope this helps,

Anyone lose the contacts from their I-5 after syncing it with outlook 2013?

Has anyone lost the contacts on their phone after syncing it with outlook 2013.

You are correct. There is no other way to recover this material, and yes it would have been a good idea to backup the iPhone prior to the restore. Remember that a restore to a previous date deletes everything on the device and puts it back to the state of things on the date you choose. The texts and contacts would be gone. Did you possibly sync the contacts with a supported application on the computer? That is the only other way to recover contacts. They are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer, or with a cloud service such as iCloud, Google or Yahoo.

Calendar schedule blank. All appts disappeared from 3g iphone calendar synced to yahoo. After Yahoo corrected error message on their website and I re-synced my iphone, calendar reappears but will not allow edit from iphone. I can't find settings to change

Calendar schedule blank. All appts disappeared from 3g iphone calendar synced to yahoo. After Yahoo corrected error message on their website and I re-synced my iphone, calendar reappears but will not allow edit from iphone. I can't find settings within Yahoo or within my iphone to alter editing options.
How can I get access to edit and delete the Yahoo calendar from my iphone? I never schedule anything from the Yahoo webpage. All my appointments and reminders are scheduled from the iphone.
iOS 4.2.1 (8C148a)

My Yahoo email account worked just fine on my iPhone 4S for the last 2 months. Then this morning I started receiving the apple.imap.mail,yahoo error. I tried all of the steps above in solving the yahoo email issue including numerous hard re-sets and deletions of my yahoo account settings without any success. So I gave up trying to use the default Yahoo setup option. I added my Yahoo account back as an "other" type email account and then had the option to choose to set it up as a "POP" account instead of an IMAP type. I then just used the server settings recommended from Yahoo Help for a Yahoo Plus Email POP (or just google yahoo plus email pop settings). This works and I am back in business.
I'm not sure if this will work for yahoo mail classic accounts.
Frustrating that this issue seems to have been going on for quite awhile and Apple still as not made any acknowledgement of this issue or proposed a fix for those of us that can not resolve the issue with a reset.

How to Transfer apple mail data to windows outlook 2013

Looking for a solution that will help me transfer all my data, from emails to address book and contacts from apple mail to outlook 2013 in windows system.
I have gone through Imap way of email, but there are some few thousand emails stored as archive and are not available on server. And via Imap I cannot export my contacts and address book. So how can I transfer all the data from mac to windows outlook 2013.
Please help.

If both system are using the IMAP mail provider all you have to do is setup the connection to the mail server and all the emails and folders will be copied down to the windows computer. That is what IMAP is for. The mail stays on the server, and can be store on the local computer also, and when you connect to the server with another device, computer, phone or pad, all the mail with folders gets copied to the other device.
But I think some of your mail was gotten using POP so it is not longer on the server.
Or you have emails in local folder only and they would be on the server. But you can create folder on the server in one mail program, or on the mail web interface and then copy those emails into those folder on the server byt copying them in one of the email programs. Then when you log on with the other device all of them will be downloaded to the other device.
Other alternative:-
You can find various solutions on having a google search for your problem.
Or you can have a look at the following link: Apple mail to Outlook Windows
Hope this will help.
Thank you

Outlook 2003 + iPhone calendar sync problem solved

Here is how I solved my sync problem. Seems a lot of people have the same problem here with Outlook sync suddenly not working after it worked fine for a long time.
I've had Outlook 2003 calendar sync with my iPhone for a few month without any problem, but a few days ago the sync suddenly stopped without any error message. iTunes Diagnostic found no problem and I followed all the steps that Apple outlines to fix the problem but nothing worked (TS2776).
As Apple asked to, I created a new user account on my Windows machine and setup a few test calendar entries to sync with my iPhone. That all worked fine.
So I did what Apple doesn't tell you, and I copied my original Outlook Data file (.PST) over to my new user account and tried to sync that one. Now this didn't work. So I knew the problem lies somewhere in my PST file.
I have then tried to create a new one from scratch in my original Windows account, and copy all the data over. Again, it didn't work. So I emptied the file again, and copied all my calendar entries over to the new PST file in batches (first 10, then another 10, etc).
What I found at the end is that one single calendar entry I created a few days ago caused my sync to stop working. Once I removed this entry, everything worked fine again. Don't ask me what was wrong with it (I made a backup just in case Apple wants to see it), but now everything works again.
If you want to save some time to find which one it is, you may start deleting entries that you created just recently before it stopped working.
Hope that helps.

Hi im having the same problem. I use outlook 2003 on windows xp and until recently my sync (using usb) was working fine. Now it would seem that calendar items are no longer syncing. can you give any further details of the calendar entry which was causing your problem? im wondering if it was added on a certain date perhaps.
I am running the inbox repair tool to see if my pst file has any problems but would appreciate any other help in the mean time.
Cheers

Non iCloud contact sync not working with iPhone 4S and Microsoft Windows/Outlook

Trying to sync contacts without success! Have iPhone 4S and Microsoft Windows, not using iCloud. I've gone through the Info route and told it to sync but the data doesn't transfer. Any idea why?

what version of Outlook are you using. I know right now its not compatible with Outlook 2013.

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.

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.

Contact Sync problem - Syncing contacts TO Outlook 2013 stopped working, whilst syncing contact FROM Outlook 2013 to iPhone still works.

I've tried everything...
iPhone version: 5S with latest OS (v.8.1).
Outlook version 2013, on Windows 7, latest iTunes version (12.x)
I prefer NOT to use iCloud (as the representation of iCloud contacts in Outlook ignores the contacts' folder division, which is important to me).
I have an Exchange server, though the sync is directed to my local Outlook client.
All other settings looks good (again, syncing FROM Outlook TO iPhone works, but I need vice versa).
I've tried syncing with closed Outlook client. Tried resetting configuration, tried moving to iCloud and back etc.. All, just to see the problem persist. Newly created contacts on the PC get synced to the iPhone, while newly created contacts ON the iPhone, does not get synced to Outlook.
Please HELP.

I have the same problem, when I sync the contacts they pass well from outlook to my iphone, but not the way around, indeed it changes my iphone contacts information and dismisses all the inputs that I already made in the iphone.

Help. iPhone 5, calendar sync issues using Outlook. Doesn't work. Does any kind soul have a solution

At my wits end. iPhone 5, OS 7.1.1, using Outlook as mail, contacts and calendar but unable to find a solution to sync everything. I have my own domain and use a small ISP. It's not an Exchange server account. I've trawled countless forums but to no avail. Can anyone help? Steve.

Mavericks doesn't sync contacts or calendar via iTunes anymore. Apple removed 'sync services' so Outlook doesn't have the sync engine to move data between iOS & the Mac. It will still work on iTunes 11 on earlier OS X's.
On 10.9 you can either use iCloud, setup your own contacts & calendar server (OS X server, Biakal, Owncloud & many others) or you can find another online service to use to sync data, like Google apps.
There is a 200 page thread on the issue…
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5460803?start=0&tstart=0
There is also a user tip on how to setup Baikal…
Hosting your own CalDAV and CardDAV server using Baïkal Server
You should also look for apps that may help like SyncMate http://www.eltima.com or maybe missing sync? http://www.markspace.com/
