IPod and Outlook Calendar

I have an iPod video with a 30G drive, and the latest version of iTunes.
I have followed the directions and cannot get my iPod to import my Outlook Calendar. It gives no errors, there just isn't anything there. Their work-around, manually exporting each appointment and saving them as files on the iPod, is just plain silly. Who has that kind of time?
Has anyone else had similar problems and a resolution?

It's silly because?
If you do not have Outlook 2003 and this method is silly, then you don't get the appt on your iPod.
Who has that kind of time?
Someone who does not have Outlook 2003 and needs the info on their iPod.
If their time is that important, they would upgrade to Outlook 2003.

Problem synching iPod and Outlook calendars

When I sync my iPod (Gen5 60GB) and Outlook calendars, I get a time discrepancy starting October 29, 2006 (the day DST ends). All appointments on my iPod calendar display 1 hour later than in Outlook.
Has anyone else had/solved this problem?
HP Pavilion Windows XP Pro

Yes I am having the same issue. I wish I had not upgraded to 7 because not only I am not able to synch contact (all of them and calendar) I also lost all playlists, movies, original contacts, etc. I cannot reach anyone in phone support and the "genuises" in the store don't have a clue except that they know there are bugs! Why release the **** thing if there are significant problems?
I hope someone has a solution!!

Ipod and Outlook Calendar (help needed)

Does anybody know how could I add the location field (from calendar event's details) in the syncronising data going to Ipod ?
Many thanx.

The iPod calendar doesn't display the location field although it is sync'd. You need to put your location information into the description field.
I wrote a Perl script that can be used to edit the calendar files on the iPod and move the location into description automatically, and it is available on my website <http://its.usc.edu/~bbellina/downloads>, however you would need to have Perl installed on your Windows PC to use it. It should be compatible with Outlook vcs files. You would use it after you sync your calendars.

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!

Touch and Outlook calendar

I've had my 2nd gen iPod Touch for just over a week and so far it's been an adventure to say the least. After numerous crashes and lockups and some time spent on the phone with tech support it finally seemed to be working properly. Or so I seemed. On the first sync after the last total reset it moved a number of calendar events. Like putting Halloween on June 30th and July 1st. I went through every event on the Touch for the year. Comparing it to the Outlook calendar and correcting the wrong ones. I then sync'd again. The new problem is that every day in the calendar now has one of the dots indicating that it thinks there is an event on that day. This makes it impossible to see which days really do have something.
Can anyone tell me why or better yet how to fix this?

I was having similar issues and came here for support and figured it out.
I did a restart as suggested above (holding down both buttons for about 20 sec until the apple came up). Went into itunes and info and unchecked calendar. It asked if i wanted to save previous calendar and I said no- thus erasing previous Outlook entries on my itouch. Sync.
Then recheck and reload calendar....it worked for me.
Hope it works for you all!

IPod, iTunes, & Outlook Calendar

I recently updated to iTunes v5.0 and was excited to find that I could sync my Outlook Calendar and Contacts. I enabled the setting to automatically update my calendar and contacts.
When I update, the transfer of my contacts is fine. However, when iTunes tries to sync my calendar, I get an error message. After allowing iTunes access to my Outlook calendar, I get the following message: "The iPod 'IPOD NAME' cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50)"
I am running Microsoft Outlook 2003 on Windows XP. I have the updated iPod software (3.1) for my 20GB iPod (non-photo).
If anyone else is having similar issues or if anyone has found a workaround, please post. It would me very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I got the same effect, except that the contact list doesn't even download. I tried calling Apple, but (after being on hold for 20 minutes) they said that without a service agreement they couldn't help me. I said that makes no sense since this is there software...

Sync iCal and Outlook calendars?

I use a Mac at home and on the road, but have to use a Win-XP at work. Is there a way to keep both sets of calendars on my iPod (iCal and Outlook)?

{quote:title=Julian Wright wrote:}
Ok... so in that case, what is keeping track of changes to the files on the flashcard? When you plug it into the Mac after using it on the PC, what decides which files are newer and which files to move from the flashcard to the Mac, and which files to move from the Mac to the flashcard? What decides what to do when there is newer data on both?
I suspect you are not actually syncing, but simply manually copying the data each time using the flashcard as the transport medium.
No, I have two sync programs, one on the Mac, one on the PC, they sync their files to the flashcard.
{quote:title=Julian Wright wrote:}
Have you tried configuring iTunes on both your home Mac and work PC to sync calendars to your iPod touch? If so, does it work or is data overwritten?
That was my question, can it be done? I'm guessing, from what you are saying here, that iTunes should be able to handle it? I don't have iTunes on the PC, so I haven't tried it. Is the functionality the same as on the Mac?

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.

Sync phone and outlook calendar on VISTA 64

I am using VISTA 64 bit os. I have a 8300 running 4.5 and the desktop application is 4.6.0.6. I can sync everything by the Calendar. It will read both the 8300 and Outlook but then errors out. There really is not error message, vista just puts up a GUI that ask if you want to search for a fix to the error or just quit the program. I have tried using the compatibility mode with the 'exe' program, but that did nothing but slow it down. Any help

if I were you I would go to the back-up section of DM and do a specific backup of the calendar database only.
does this work ?

Can't sync between moble me calendar and outlook calendar

I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, checked my preferences. i hit "sync" and it seems to go ok, no error message, but nothing is in my outlook calendar. any advice??

Wayned,
Just chiming in to say that the DROID 2 should be working with CompanionLink/DejaOffice. How are you trying to sync? If it's via USB, my guess is that the sync troubles are relateded to the driver software failing to install. At that point, you'll need someone from Verizon/Motorola to chime in, but if you like, CompanionLink offers free support for our software and one of our techs would be happy to take a look at what might be going on. Just head over to http://www.companionlink.com/support/contact.html to get in touch.
Hope that helps!

EP7 and Outlook Calendar entries

Hi,
I have a requirement where Calendar will be collaborated with EP7 and the calendar entries will need to be edited on events triggered from Portal.
is there any connectivity between Outlook and Portal such that i can retrieve calendar data for a user and could change calendar entries programmatically through some API.
I'll be thankful, if i get some inputs from you.
Thanks
MM

Well, I've followed some instructions at another thread, and gotten reid of all the CICAL links in my Services section. That's removed the "Send as" and an email address for each calendar item on the BB. Also, all of them are now the same color, and all are part of the "Default" calendar.
When I go to the DM Backup and Restore > Advanced, I see I have only one Calendar on the BB and it has all my records.
Problem is that it still doesn't sync with Outlook. All that's left on my outlook calendar are a handful of appts added after the Facebook update. The rest of the appts on my handheld will not sync, even if I set the sync command to one way / replace all.
So that's where it stands. Any further help would be most welcome.

Hello,
Refer:
Article ID: KB00561 How to configure wireless calendar synchronization on a BlackBerry smartphone
I don't recall legacy devices ever having the ability to sync OTA calendar with Hotmail/Outlook.com. I also don't recall seeing any authoritative list of which services work and which do not. Basically, it's as the KB documents...if the setting is not available, then it's not supported by the email service you are using.
More formal information can be obtained by contacting your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck and let us know!

TS3999 How do I sync my iCloud calendar and outlook calendar

How do I sync my outlook calendar and my icloud calendars? I am using outlook 2011 for Mac and do not have an exchange account.
Do I need to add an exchange account to make this work?
If so is this difficult to add? or just like switching email accounts?

How do I merge all my calendars into one calendar?
Copy all events on to just one calendar and use that. Remember to put it in the iCloud account and the On My Mac account.
