Iphone Sync with Entourage

Just started playing with the phone and so far it looks great. My contacts and Calender are in Entourage and I know the phone is suppose to sync with it, but it is not a choice within the itunes menu...any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You're certainly correct, but users familiar with Entourage and synchronization have been aware of this for quite some time. Although I understand why you might choose to stay with Office X—and an older release of Entourage—expecting an iPhone to work with Entourage X is somewhat akin to expecting an iPhone to work with Mac OS X 10.3, because a users other applications and devices do.
In fairness to you and others, I believe that Apple should have explicitly stated the minimum requirements for Entourage to interact with an iPhone, and not simply referred to it in generic terms.

  • How to clear all details in iCal before syncing with Entourage?

    Deary me! I have been back and forth to iCal and Entourage trying to find which would be best. I have decided that Entourage will suffice - although not perfect by any means. In the meantime I have completely jammed up my iCal and daren't not try syncing Entourage yet otherwise I will never understand it and my iphone will be full of toot! Anyone know how to clear all details in iCal before syncing with Entourage? (Happy Sundays!!)

    Answer .... delete all calendars in iCal but leave the Entourage one there! Don't delete that as there will be big trouble!

  • Problems Syncing with Entourage!!!

    I used to have a t-mobile MDA, and I switched to an iPhone in September because I was told that it would sync with Entourage on my iMac (unlike the MDA). At first, it worked fine, but now it's a complete mess. My entourage calendar is completely fine, but then as soon as iCal opens up to sync, it makes duplicates (or even quadruplicates) of all day events, resurects deleted appointments from the dead, changes times on appointments, and sometimes, completely deletes everything. It then dumps all this back into entourage (or deletes everything from entourage), overriding the sync settings even when I have it set not to sync the two programs at all. I have spent hours on the phone with apple, and hours at the genius bar. we've updated everything, installed patches, and completely reinstalled the operating system, iCal, and sync services. Can anyone help? I desperately need the calendaring to work, or else that was 400$ down the drain to switch to the iPhone. Will upgrading to Leopard fix the problem?

    applenewbie821,
    Entourage syncs with SyncServices, and the data is read from there by iTunes.
    iTunes 7.3 and later also include SyncServices as a middle place for syncing with Outlook. The data is read from Outlook's PST file into SyncServices, and updated from Syncservices into the PST file. Then iTunes reads it from SyncServices, and updates it back to SyncServices. Since iTunes is the only thing that uses SyncServices, the option to "Reset Sync History" shows up in iTunes preferences on a Windows-based PC.
    Entourage needs to be 11.3.5 or later. If you have Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac, then the update is free download from Microsoft. If you are using Office .X, you will need Office 2004 for Mac. if you have 11.3.5 or later you will have a SyncServices option in Entourage. Entourage will send the data to SyncServices, and read updated data from SyncServices. Then iTunes read it from SyncServices, and updates it back to SyncServices. .Mac, Entourage, iDisk, iSync, and many others use SyncServices. iSync is the front end for reseting Sync History.
    iCal and Address Book also read from SyncServices and will show the same data.
    Hope this helps,

  • Not syncing with Entourage

    Lately when I delete an email from Entourage on my desktop, it remains on my iPhone until I manually delete it. This just started happening -- when I first set up the phone to sync with Entourage and Mac Mail, when I would delete an email it would disappear off the phone immediately.
    I just restarted my phone and it seemed to go back to working normally. Is this just something that happens from time to time, and restarting is the key? Or is there something I can do to avoid having to delete the same emails twice? It would appear that everything is set correctly in the preferences of both the iPhone and Entourage, so maybe this is just a one-time glitch.
    Any thoughts? Anyone?

    Hi:
    In case anyone is interested in how i resolved this issue:
    i decided to check the veracity of the Entourage database by verifying and repairing the database, even though Entourage was otherwise behaving well. The verification resulted in some found issues, and the repairing took the database from being 5.9GB to about 3.5GB, which was interesting. I then toggled off and back on again the sync services to iCal, whereupon iCal became re-populated with my calendar data.

  • Sync with Entourage

    I use Entourage as my contact management application and a key factor in buying my iPhone was the claim that it synced with Entourage. But the calendars don't work at all. In syncing, the process hangs up on the calendering function for hours, then shows no data on the phone itself. Any suggestions? I suspect the main problem is the very weak iCal program required as part of the process. Very immature program.

    Hey Dave,
    First verify Entourage has been updated and the steps needed to sync have been taken.

    Then reset the Sync History in the iSync aplication as described here.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iSync/2.0/en/isc39.html
    Lastly, Did you modify or install any applications that may have altered the SyncServices folder?

  • Contacts sync with Entourage

    Since I downloaded the latest iPhone update the next time I connected to sync all the contacts with Entourage they were removed. If I add in a new contact it does sync. On the iPhone (iTunes) Tab Info there is no option to select groups which I believe was originally shown as is still shown for Calendars. Any thoughts??? Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem. Entourage contacts will not sync to iPhone lost everything on iPhone. The itunes option to sync with Entourage 2004 is gone?

    I have the iphone 4 and PC with Windows Vista Basic. When I bought my iPhone syncs with iTunes on my computer, but now when I try to sync it tells me that Mobile Device Service was closed and I can not synchronize the phone. Try restarting Mobile Device Service and uninstall and reinstall Itunes but still giving me the same error.

  • Recent software upgrade has changed the way my iPhone syncs with my macbook, and diary items no longer upload from my iPhone. I've tried a to fix it and seem to have made things worse. What is the best way to get the two devices in sync ?

    Recent software upgrades has changed the way my iPhone syncs with my macbook and items entered on my iPhone are no longer uploaded to my macbook. I've tried to fix it and seem to have made things worse, my iPhone now has a long list of calanders that I don't want and can't delete and nothing is uploading to my macbook.

    You need to look at Mac's iTunes, check  > System Preferences > iCloud.
    If you use iCloud for Calendar, Contacts then turn off those items in iTunes, Info tab with your iPhone connected and selected.

    This has worked fine with MobileMe with only a couple of minor glitches in the past.
    Any experience doing this the "right" way?

  • Let iPhone sync with new laptop instead of old computer

    I have a new laptop and copied my entire iTunes from the old computer to my new laptop, so I have exactly the same iTunes on my new laptop. My iPhone syncs with the old computer, but because I have a new laptop I want to sync it with the iTunes in my new laptop. but when I connect my iPhone to the laptop, it just doesn't show my iPhone anywhere or reacts on it at all. It's just like nothing happens when I connect it to the laptop. How can I make it sync with the new laptop?

    You can create a fresh backup on your computer: Disable auto-sync when an ipod/iPhone is connected under preferences>devices in iTunes(under the edit menu if using Windows). Connect your phone, right-click the phone in the left device pane and select "Backup". Before doing so, make sure your computer is authorized: Store>Authorize this Computer.

  • How to sync Address book with iphone on 10.5, while iphone synced with iCloud?

    My mac runs leopard 10.5.8. Meanwhile iPhone is updated to 5.1. and synced with iCloud. As we know, OS X 10.5 can not be synced with iCloud. How to sync Address book with iphone? My Address Book on my mac has almost all contacts that can be found on my iPhone. Even with pictures from FB and extra info such as twitter accounts, etc.
    The question is - how can I manage my contacts? Now I have added several new entries to my iPhone, but they won't appear on mac's address book. In iTunes the contacts sync box is unchecked due to the fact that iPhone syncs with iCloud. But then I'm wondering where did Address Book get all the contact updates that were made on iPhone?
    I'd like to control this whole thing. And is there such thing as one data base, that could used by all devices and would change entries on all of them, if I change or add something on my iPhone?
    Or I just have to get Lion and let the iCloud do the magic?
    Thanks,
    Lauris

    I just synced my new iPhone (iOS 5.0.1) with the Address Book on my Mac which runs 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.5.2. I launched iTunes and then I connected the iPhone to the Mac. It appeared on the DEVICES list in the left column in iTunes. I selected it and then the Summary screen appeared in the right part of the iTunes window.
    In the Backup section of the Summary you can choose whether to 'Back up to iCloud' or 'Back up to this computer'. Even if you have 'Back up to iCloud' selected, there is a 'Sync' button in the bottom right hand corner of the iTUnes window where you can manually initiate a sync with the Mac.
    Hope this helps,

    This isn't a problem, but a question.
    1. Can you sync your iphone with remote to more than one itunes library (such as itunes on 2 different computers)?
    Yes you can sync with more than one iTunes Library. I just did it today with the library on my Mac and PC
    if so then...
    2. Does the itunes have to be maximized for the remote function to work, or can it be minimized on the task bar at the bottom?
    On my mac I can play the songs with iTunes minimized.
    The reason why, is I want to sync my iphone with my mother's computer at her house, and put some sound effects on her library. Then I want to turn her itunes on and minimize it and wait until she starts working on her pc and then I can play some practical jokes on her making her computer make weird noises (sound effects on itunes).
    Any answers would be appreciated by me (but not my mother).
    Thanks, and happy pranking to you all

    Yes, you stop using the same Apple ID under Settings > iCloud.
