Iphone mail hyperlink created events don't update to outlook calendar

I created an event using a hyperlink in mail on my iphone. The event never sync'd to my ipad or outlook (active sync and exchange). After a support call to apple(with no results) and spending some time and about $175.00 with an outside IT person, we found the problem. When we deleted the location information, the event would immediately show up in outlook and any other mobile devices syncing to that calendar. I am speculating that there are some characters that either the iphone or exchange does not like in this locaion field. The iphone picked up all of the location characters automatically through the hyperlink in mail. I just started using this hyperlink feature and really like how quickly i can create an event......so much for that unless i delete or clean up the location field.
Hope this helps someone

there are many posts on this subject.. I myself had the problem and fixed it with a manual and not elegant process... but it works.
Exchange-Outlook have many documented issues with recurring appointments and users with more than one device: either a desktop + laptop or a laptop+smartphone, or laptop+iPhone, etc. The issue gets bigger if there are delegates with access to same account.
Outlook 2007 had many issues to sync with devices (whether or not iPhone was not the issue). they reportedly fixed those issues with Outlook 2007 SP1 released few months ago. After installing that SP1 I had no more problems... until recurring appointments created again that malfunction you describe
AFAIK the best workaround is to manually delete the corrupted recurring appointments. recurring appointments get corrupted very frequently. You can change the view on outlook calendar and show only corrupted appointments or recurring appointments and fix the issues. Not elegant but works.
Dave Whitehouse summarized the process as follows:
"This was my solution to this problem.
I found that my calendar entries were totaling over 86meg. To see your calendar size select Tools, Mailbox Cleanup.., View Mailbox Size.. Then select Close, Close to get out.
To view and delete old calendar entries do the following:
Select Calendar on the navpane.
Select View, Arrange by, Current View, By Category,
You may sort by End time. Some of my old meetings were several years old and they had attachments. I selected from the top and went down to about a week previous and the pressed the delete key.
I exited Outlook, not sure if this is needed and restarted it. I then sync'd from iTunes and it worked."

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.

Craches when updating the Outlook Calendar to iPod

iTunes craches when updating the Outlook Calendar to my iPod.
Where can I send the debug reports?

AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 6.0.4.2 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 35f769b8
hmmmm. this is looking like a program conflict of some kind on the PC.
let's try getting a DrWatson log for this one and sending it to someone who can interpret DrWatson logs.
Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
generate the crash, collect the crash log, and send it to this email address
in the email:
(1) state the precise version number of itunes that you're using.
(2) state your ipod updater version, ipod model, and version of the ipod software on the ipod:
Identifying different iPod models
iPod: How to find software version
(3) include the URL to this thread so that the person who gets the email has some context, but also give as much information about the context of the crashing as you can.

New mail events don't update iCal

When I receive via mac mail an iCal event update, to schedule a new or change an existing event, clicking the event opens iCal but the event is not shown or changes are not applied.
This started with the MobileMe changes in Snow Leopard and I was hoping Lion would solve it, but the behaviour is the same.
I have deleted and recreated my MobileMe calendar or create a calendar synced with Google without result.
Appreciate help, thank you
Henrique

Heres's something for you to think about.
I added the same mail box with all of the same details as an IMAP account. The mail.ap allowed me to add the account but just named it "xxxxxx 2".
All of the new email that was missing showed up in the IMAP account.
It has worked on 4 machines so far (only another 16 to do). 3 were POP and they worked fine with the abovestated method.
The other 1 was already IMAP and all I did was press the plus to add another account and all of the mail appeared in the IMAP account as though the threat was enough.
Give it a try - it might work for you too.
Cheers

Recent events don't update on my iDevices

I don't want to use PhotoStream. But before PhotoStream was available, I did have my most recent iPhoto events synchronize to my iPhone and iPad via iTunes. These don't update though anymore. My iPhone is tiny (which is why I don't use PhotoStream) - but I still set up each device to the most recent Events. But the events I find are old.
What should I look at to see why this doesn't update?

I finally took my computer to the genius bar. Turning off iPhoto syncing on my iPad and turning it on again fixed it both for my iPad and iPhone.

Why won't my iPhone receive updates to Outlook Calendar appointments?

I am able to receive an Outlook appointment request on my iPhone. It appears as an attachment called something like "mime-attachment.ics". When I click this, details of the event pop up and I am able to add it to my calendar. Works like a charm. The problem I'm having now is, if the appointment is updated in Outlook and updates are then sent to attendees, I receive the email with an attachment again BUT instead of the details being updated, it appears exactly the same as the original event (same date, same time) instead of showing the new event information.
Does anyone know a way around this that does not involve syncing... iTunes... none of that nonsense...??!

It seems the recurring theme on these types of problems is the use of a POP email account. Something originates in corrupting or blunting the full affect of an ics event from Outlook through this method.
I guess just thinking about it, this makes some sense in that Microsoft has probably not fully developed their ActiveSync to work properly with POP accounts, especially w/in Mac OS (if you use that). It's understandable that their motivation is towards Exchange interoperability and even further, the need to support an "old" technology like POP.
Sorry I couldn't be more help, but perhaps you'll just have to continue to work around this until your migration to Exchange is complete.

How do I get my iPhone calendar to update my outlook calendar?

Just for a little background of what happened:
For some time I have had 2 calendars showing up on my iPhone - although all of the events were simply duplicated on my iPhone only - not on Outlook. This has been rather annoying, so last week I decided to remove one calendar off of my iPhone. Unfortunately whatever my actions were, I managed to remove the duplication off of my iPhone, but I also erased all of the details off my Outlook calendar. Now I need to try to get the files off my iPhone and onto Outlook without loosing anything.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Kind regards,
Kyle

Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync.

Creating a visit (not appointment) from Outlook calendar?

In the 14.08 Whats new document I read the following:
SAP Cloud for Customer Add-In for Microsoft Outlook:
You can create a visit from Microsoft Outlook directly. When you create a visit, it is categorized as a visit.in SAP Cloud for Customer and appears in a different color in your Outlook calendar.
I really don't see this working and I think what is meant is that you can differentiate in creating a visit or appointment when you create it from the calendar in C4C (browser or iPad) and not in Outlook.
Can anyone confirm this?
Guus Dorenbos

Hi Guus Dorenbos,
This feature works in MS Outlook.
On creating a Visit from MS outlook, the colour of the Visit appears in Orange (Sync Test Visit01) where as an appointment appears in Blue (Test Sample Visit). Refer screenshot below:
While creating a Visit from MS Outlook, "Visit" checkbox has to be ticked in.
Note - Try downloading new Outlook Add-in from the 1408 Tenant.
Thanks & Regards,

Is it possible to sync your iphone to 2 pc's (work/home)and keep outlook calendar?

I had a iphone but returned it, but now I need confirmation that it is possible to have an iphone sync between to PCs (work / home). I want to know if its possible to have it sync the phone with two computers. Home has itunes for music and such, work doesn't have itunes on it - but I need to make sure that my calendar syncs between the two computers.
I am concerned that if I sync at home it will upload fine but then if I try to sync at work it will want to delete all my contact on my computer and replace with what's on the iphone?
So basically - is it possible to have your iphone sync with two seperate pc's? I use outlook calendar and live my life with it - I must be able to use it on the iphone - can you?
Can you change the way names are stored in the contacts, I have businesses and personal contacts - I want to be able to look up a business not have to remember the name of the person who runs it?

Can you change the way names are stored in the contacts, I have businesses and personal contacts - I want to be able to look up a business not have to remember the name of the person who runs it?
You didn't say what contacts application you are syncing your iPhone with, but almost all give you a choice to list contacts by name or by business. That setting on the computer should transfer to the synced iPhone. Works with my Mac.

IPhoto events don't update

I want to have the events from my last 3 months iPhoto to automatically update on my phone and pad. They don't.
After a lot of experimenting, I got them updated by opening iPhoto and then hitting Sync in iTunes with the Photos tab open. Is that the normal way to do this? Every time I add photos to iTunes, I need to expliciitly sync?

Yes, it's a bug
I went to my Apple Store and they were really disappointed... they suggested to report this to Apple.
You can submit a bug report for iPhoto here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
Let's hope they'll fix this soon!
Bye

Calendar Troubleshooting

ICal Imported Events Don't Appear in One Calendar

Hi,
I'm transferring data off my old Powerbook G4 with OS 10.4.11 to my new Macbook Pro with Lion 10.7.3, and I'm having a problem with importing iCal data.
When I did an iCal database backup import, 8 out of my 9 calendars seemed to be coming through, but one was not showing up at all in any view. So...
I tried to exporting this single calendar into Dropbox and importing it into my new computer's iCal. This attempt gave me an error something like "iCal can't read this file, no data has been transferred." So...
I tried a trick I read about, opening the .ics file in TextEdit, then changing the extension to .vcs and changing the second line Version:2.0 number to Version: 1.0. This only got some of the events into the new iCal, but definitely not all and with seemingly random results - some reapeating events missing, some one-time events, etc.
This is a real problem for me, as I do reference past events a lot. I can't get rid of the old stuff and move forward until I've shifted ALL of my data over, and many events from this calendar are missing.
Does anyone know what's up? Any fixes for this issue?
Many thanks for any help!
Dave

After 3.5 hours on the phone with applecare, I believe this problem of not syncing ical from ipod touch to the ical app is resolved. Here are the steps that made it happen for me:
Log out of main account and log into root account. If you haven't set up the root user yet follow the directions in your Mac Help on your computer. Make sure you understand the implications of setting up the root user account. You may want to disable the root user after you are done with this fix.
In Finder, navigate to /Users/(your account)/Library/Application Support and delete every folder in the Application Support directory that has the word 'Sync' in the folder's name.
Log out of the root account and back into your main account. Sync your ipod touch / iphone and see if this worked for you.
Good Luck!

Past calendar events don't show in Outlook

My calendar events from 4 months back doesn't show in Outlook, but I am able to see everything through the oracle client. Is there any setting I can use to correst that.

Hi,
We raised this issue as a TAR through metalink. To fix this problem (i.e. allow you to view calendar meetings more than 2 weeks before the current date), you have to change a value in a config file on the server. The default value for viewing historic calendar entries is 2 weeks. Changing the value in Outlook (Oracle Connector options) won't work if the server config file is set to the default.
Unfortunately I don't have access to Metalink at the moment so I can't tell you where to change it but if you do a search there you should be able to find it.

Anybody help with this very strange occurence???
