IPhone, iCloud, Outlook Calendar Sync

I have two personal laptops.  One for work.  One for personal.  Both are using Outlook as my mail reader, contact, and calendar. (No Oulook exchange).  I have an iPhone 4s.  I have set up and able to read email on my iphone that is sent to either laptop.  Contacts.... no problem.  Calendars however are another issue.
I have set up my iCloud account with no issues.  When I check my calendars on my iPhone it reports I have 8 calendars.  It shows two calendars for each of my laptops, and three calendars in my iCloud account.  Not sure why I need iCloud calendars or email.  There is only one calendar on each of my laptops.  I just want to be able to see appointments from each of my laptops on my iPhone.  I understand you have to use iCloud to keep calendars in sync with the iPhone.
I am just totally confused on what to do next and I am open to all ideas.
Thanks in advance..  Beth

Outlook and iCloud accounts cannot by synced as they hold data which exists separately from each other. You would need to sync your Outlook calendar to your iPhone via iTunes.

  • TS3999 How to disable iCloud Outlook calendar sync without disabling contacts

    I am synchronizing iCloud and Outllok Contacts, and do not wish to do the same with calendars (I sync via gMail. Easier and more transparent).
    Issue: Since the latest iCloud Control Panel version, I do not seem to figure how to delete the iCloud calendar from my Outlook, unless I delete all of iCloud controls.
    Anything I'm missing?
    Thanks for any help.

    I just deleted the calendar in outlook.  Didn't do anything in iCloud.  But I am having other issues with the new iCloud control panel.

  • Major problems with iPhone 4 & iPad 2 both 5.1.1. - Outlook Calendar sync

    Folks, really need some help here, being forced to revert to Blackberry Bold 9000 because of issues with Outlook Calendar sync since 5.1.1 upgrade on both my iPhone & iPad.  Our company Enterprise Active Sync server is 2003 (please don't mention upgrade - already a seperate conversation byt all costs).
    email sync's fine on both devices, plus i can continue to use both iCloud accounts, and BT yahoo mail etc !
    national holidays set up in Outlook calendar come across, as does some calendar items, but then falls into a resync mode with nothing staying in the device, i can also see and read calendar invites, but once accepted, they disappear !
    Searching the internet suggests I'm not alone with this issue - any ideas welcome, seems not to be a problem on os 4 !!!  but A) I don't know how to regress and B) why should I ?
    Many thanks in advance, please don't make me go back to a BB !!!
    Finally, I've been using the devices without issue for nearly 2 years - so again it's linked to 5.1.1. upgrade !

    Hi Tim
    Firstly, apologies for the slow response to your very quick reply !
    I've checked back, we're using Exchange 2007.
    We've actually got a ticket open with Apple at present, so anticipate that a patch may be available.
    It is still curious though that out of a 200 user community trialling our internal iPhone & iPad pilot, we only have 2 issues (mine and a colleagues), however anticipate that there will be more issues as nearly entire community is on 5.1.1.
    On a second point, any ideas how one can rollback to 4.3.3 on an iPhone or iPad ?  I can't find anything that implies a self rollback without jail breaking the device ?
    Thanks again for the help.

  • Outlook Calendar Sync has stopped working

    Prior to iTunes 7.4.X, Outlook Calendar Sync was working OK.
    Now, it does not. No new calendar entries posted in Outlook following the installation of iTunes 7.4.X make it into the iPhone.
    I've tried all the usual tricks - reinstall iTunes, reset the iPhone, nothing helps.
    Any ideas out there?

    hi, thanks, i tried that as described here in the troubleshooting faq - no improvement.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305845
    here's what i noticed however, there's not a second add-in as described in the doc. the Outlook iTunes Sync add-in is missing on the system entirely. after re-installing, iTunes, it's still not there and so can't be added through browsing to the iTunes dir and therefore i can't select it.
    where can you get this second add-in? also following these instructions, i deselected the microsoft outlook mobile service add-in which sounds like it might be needed. ??
    thanks for any help.

  • Outlook Calendar Sync Frustration

    Ok....I've done it all. I've reinstalled....numerous times...earlier iTunes versions...operating systems...reduced my pst files to less than five appointments, none of which are recurring...rebuilt pst files....you name it, I've done it. My Outlook calendar still does not sync with iPhone/iTunes. I get the "outlooksyncclient.exe" has encountered a problem and needs to close..." error message. I'm inclined to subscribe to the point of view I saw from one poster that PocketMirror/Palm figured it out, Apple should be able to as well.
    What really appears to be happening is that one of the two add-ins that iTunes/iPhone requires isn't being loaded. According to Apple documentation, you need "iTunes Outlook" and "Outlook iTunes Sync" add-ins. I only get the iTunes Outlook" add-in from iTunes, no matter what version I install, reinstall, deinstall, reinstall, etc. One would think that if "syncing" is the problem, you'd want to get that second "Outlook iTunes Sync" add-in loaded and seen by the OS, no?
    Even when I was with a VERY good tech at the local Apple store, he didn't want to touch the issue that the add-in wasn't being loaded. To be fair, he saw it on the computer (haven't been able to locate it myself, but I saw it when he ran a registry list), but somehow it's either not being activated OR seen by iTunes. Seems to be a key player here, but the tech could only report the issue to tech support...leaving me in the dark since there is no way to follow up on the progress of the report to tech support.
    Am I alone here? For a smart phone/PDA, not syncing with what is probably the most used corporate contact management software's calendar is, well, not very smart (especially right out of the gate on this cutting edge tool).
    I'm not complaining about the phone features. It's LEAGUES above any phone I've seen. Having an iPod on board is just bonus. The Map widget is great too, especially linked in with the contacts (...which, by the way, seems to sync fine with Outlook...). But come on...if you can pull all that off, what's up with not being able to do the calendar? Want to lose the majority of sales folks out there that could truly benefit from this product? No sweat, just don't put a priority on fixing this Outlook calendar sync issue.
    I'm posting this because I have a feeling that if I don't, and no one else voices this opinion, it won't be addressed....and this would be a shame since this product has so much immense potential.

    Try this. Forgive me as I am not at my work computer but expericenced exactly the same problems.
    Go to edit your email account and assuming you are using outlook 2003 since I don't 2007 you will need to find the dialog box that says something to the effect of send your information to your personal documents. It is a drop down menu within settings. You will then need to close outlook and open it again. Try syncing your iphone and this worked like a charm for me.
    To sum it up your mail,contacts, and calendar entries are curetnly being stored on your work server. Iphone doesn't like that. When you tell outlook to store these items on your personal documents they then are stored on your hard drive and Iphone loves that. When I first tried doing this I noticed that I didn't have the option to send these items to my persnal files so if that is the case for you you will need to create it by clicking add and just pointing to personal files.
    I hope this helps.

  • HT1692 Help--I need my iphone and Outlook Calendars to talk to each other.

    After the last iOS update, my iphone and Outlook calendars are not communicating:
    My iphone calendar sends to the gmail account associated with MS Outlook, but not to icloud--it does receive from iCloud.
    Outlook does not to go to iCloud, or for that matter, to the gmail account that Outlook is associated with--nor does Outlook receive events from iCloud.
    So, iCloud doesn't get stuff from iphone calendar, and after an aborted try at self-fixing, is no longer connected with Outlook at all.
    I've tried to work through iSolutions, etc., but can't seem to follow, or match my circumstances, to what is provided. Can someone give me simple, step by step instructions on where my settings should be at all 3 points? I would be very grateful!

  • Syncing iPhone and Outlook Calendar - bug?

    I have an issue syncing my iPhone 3G Calendar with Outlook’s Calendar (Outlook 2007). In general, the sync works fine, but: If I delete the current (ie first) instance of a repeating event in Outlook, when I sync, my iPhone will still display ALL instances of that event, including the ‘deleted’ one.
    I have verified that this is because the iPhone is syncing the event based on its start date in Outlook, which will include the ‘deleted’ event, rather than what actually is shown as still a valid event in the calendar (which of course is what I want).
    I am guessing that this is just because both manufacturers are pursuing a different methodology, but the bottom line is that iPhone claims it will sync properly, so I’d call it a bug.
    I have a workaround, in that I can delete events from the Outlook calendar by changing the start date to the current one I wish to display, but this is cumbersome and of course takes more time. Is there a more elegant workaround? Or am I just doing something wrong?

    When you decide to sync the second computer to the iphone, itunes will ask you if you want to merge or replace the data.
    In the merge, data will be transfered both ways.
    So, when you say separate, you can sync them one at a time, but in the end, all the events will be the same on both computers and iphone. Because itunes keeps merging the data.

  • Syncing iPhone With Outlook Calendar

    Hello all,
    I've been using my iPhone 4 (latest firmware - 4.3.3) and syncing contacts, calendars & notes with Outlook 2003 in Windows Vista for some time now & all has worked fine. I also Outlook to access my Hotmail e-mail.
    I've recently re-installed with Windows 7 (32bit) and upgraded Office to 2010 as well. I'm again using Outlook to access Hotmail. With the latest version of the Outlook Connector, it now also accesses my Hotmail contacts in Outlook, which it didn't do before & defaults to using my Hotmail calendar rather than the local one in Outlook alone.
    After some tidying up, I've sorted all my contacts so that what's on Outlook (and synced to my iPhone) is the same as what's in Hotmail. This seems to be syncing back & forth quite happily between the phone & Outlook via iTunes.
    With the calendar, due to Outlook now using the Hotmail calendar, I've had to re-enter all my entries in "Adam's Calendar" (i.e. the Hotmail one) in Outlook, whereas before they were on the local calendar. Having done this, they sync across to Hotmail online and sync onto the iPhone. Entries made via Hotmail online also appear on Outlook and so sync to the phone.
    The problem comes the other way. If I make an entry in my calendar on the phone, it won't sync to Outlook. Likewise, if I use the phone to edit an entry that was synced over from Outlook then the changes don't sync back. The only calendar I have displayed on the iPhone from the available list is "Adam's Calendar". I've tried forcing iTunes to only sync that one by de-selecting "All calendars" and only selecting "Adam's calendar" from the available list (consisting of that entry and "Calendar"). So, there should be no reason for "Adam's Calendar" on the phone to be syncing to any other calendar on the computer. Still no joy...
    Anybody got any ideas why this isn't working and what might fix it??
    TIA,
    Adam.

    Folks, in case it helps anyone else, I've found a solution!
    Set up the iPhone to connect to the Exhange server for Hotmail, then sleect which (of e-mail, contacts & calendar) you want to connect to.
    Go into Settings-->Mail, Contacts, Calendars-->Add Account...
    Select a MS Exchange account
    Enter your details:
    Email: [email protected]
    Domain: [Leave blank]
    Username: [email protected]
    Password: password
    Click 'Next'
    A new field for 'Server' will appear. Enter m.hotmail.com
    Continue through and you will be able to set on/off your hotmail e-mail, contacts and/or calendar to connect to the phone. In my case, I just went with the calendar as I use mBoxMail for e-mail so it's all nicely structured in folders and figure it's easier (and won't eat my phone's bandwidth) to just sync my contacts to Outlook through a cable and Outlook then sync to Hotmail over my broadband connection.
    Now, any entry made on my phone flies through the airwaves to Hotmail and in turn up the broadband cable to Outlook. Likewise, any entry made in either of the other two makes the same journey.
    Hope that helps anyone else in a similar position.
    Adam.

  • Had iPad and just added iPhone. iCloud offered to sync my calendars but it wiped out all my data that was on my iPad!  Can I get it back?

    Have ipad2 & just added iphone5. iCloud offered to sync my calendars but it took blank iPhone calendar as default and wiped out my iPad calendar with my "life" on it!  Can I recover the lost info?

    If you backed it up to your computer using iTunes, restoring to the backup should recover it.  (Apple's documentation isn't clear about whether or nott an iCloud backup includes your calendar events but it may.)

  • Sync iphone to outlook calendar for work but not change how I sync on my home Mac

    I use a Mac laptop at home (older one with Tiger OS) , and PC at work.
    I do not want to share home info with the work PC but would like to be able to sync my work outlook calendar to my iphone 6.
    I also do not want my work email on my iphone.
    Of course the IT guys at work don't like Macs and say this can't be done.

  • IPhone Outlook Calendar syncing question

    Help!
    I've had my iPhone since December, and at one point, was able to sync my Outlook calendar to it perfectly.
    Now, I'm still able to sync the actual appointments. But any "notes" or details that I've added to those appointments (in the bottom section of the screen) don't transfer over to the iPhone.
    Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help you can offer!

    *iPhone calendar views are a joke!*
    My 90's Palm Vx had far more usable views via Pimlico Software. The gray scale display with poor resolution was able to show one or even two weeks with appointment texts.
    What does iPhone have? List view is the best there is. One sees all appointments with only just scrolling. Day view is terrible. The whole day should be visible without scrolling for it to be at least somewhat efficient. Now one has to first select a day with arrows and after that scroll thru the day and after that select another day and scroll again. No way. Month view is very poorly designed! The grid takes way too much space and who decided to put the appointment list in the bottom of the screen when one's index finger blocks it if sliding thru days in the grid!!! Oh man!!! Unlock the landscape view and please make the grid a little bit smaller and please place the appointment list on the left or at least on the right side. And make its font way smaller! No point in seeing two appoinments without scrolling.
    iPhone's wonderful screen would be able to show one or two weeks with written appointments in a list like manner especially landscape. I mean seven columns titled Mo-Su and all appointments listed in that day's column.
    Hopefully SDK will let someone else do it if Apple won't.
    And we have to get to copy appointments and paste them to other days also. I am spending 30 min writing the same info one at a time to our monthly plan. Everyone else is already having a cup of coffee.

  • Outlook calendar sync issue with iphone

    A friend has a desktop running XP with Outlook 2003, iTunes 10, an iPhone 3G running iOS4.
    In Outlook, he has his personal contacts and calendar, both with lots of entries.
    iTunes is configured to sync his contacts and calendar to his iPhone.
    The contacts sync successfully - the calendar does not, meaning the calendar on his iPhone is completely blank, no entries.
    We tried resetting the sync history in iTunes, creating a test appointment on both the iPhone and Outlook - nothing.
    We then set up a temporary local user on the XP box, configured Outlook, launched iTunes and went to configure calendar syncing when we noticed something different.
    When logged in as the temp local user account, in iTunes > iPhone > Info > Sync calendars where you have the choice between All or Selected calendars, under Selected, there was a selectable line item called Calendar.
    However, when we switched back to the regular domain user account, that line item was not there.
    This leads me to believe that iTunes in that domain user profile for some reason does not detect Outlook calendar, yet it does as the local user.
    I thought maybe it has something to do with the user role (he was member of some custom group, not sure what the exact permissions are) and changed him to an administrator role, logged out/back in, tried again, but no difference.
    I am not sure how to further troubleshoot this. What can I try to make iTunes detect the calendar? It's really puzzling because it sees the contacts in Outlook and syncs them just fine.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    This sounds just like the problem I am having since downloading the latest version of i-Tunes. Initially i-tunes wasn't recognised so after reinstalling i-Tunes and it's 5 other associated programmes I found that there was a cmpatability isuue (Right click i-tunes icon and go to compatability tag) Once this was sorted my Outlook calendar would not sync with my i-phone. 2 weeks later I am told it is because I have Outlook 2002 and need to upgrade. Frustrating as it worked ok before the latest upgrade.

  • Outlook calendar sync takes hours

    The synchronizing of my iphone 5 with the outlook calendar takes many hours, although I have limited the number of days to 3. How can this be improved???

    I'm responding to Outlook calendar rather than iCloud calendar.
    First, let me say this is not normal; calendar sync should take a few seconds.
    Are you syncing via USB to your computer, via WiFi to your computer, or through a Microsoft Exchange server?
    If you are using WiFi try USB.
    If you have a problem on USB also you probably have corrupt entries in the Outlook calendar, or you have a very long history in the Outlook PST. To correct corruption Export the Outlook calendar to CSV (I think the export is on the File menu in Outlook), then import the CSV back to Outlook. This will remove corrupt data records.
