Is Outlook 2013 incompatible with BB Link

I just upgraded my Laptop to a Lenovo X1 Carbon with windows 8.1 and Outlook 2013 .
I'm trying to do a 1 way sync from my Q10 to Outlook contacts which i used to do with my previous W7 laptop with no issues .
When i connect my Q10 to BB Link i only get the option of syncing with Windows Contacts , no matter what i do i can't change this option to Outlook contacts .
Did anyone face a similar issue ?

I use Outlook 365 (probably same as 2013) on Win 8.1 and I had no problems once I had set up Outlook, syncing to my Z30 via Link.
It worked fine for about 5 months, but then the last 6 months I can only sync Calendar info. Contacts will not sync.
There are reasons that some point to that require some heavy lifting in the Registry and deleting certain contacts data, but I have choosen to limp along until either Link is fixed or maybe some other alternative is available (Blend?)
We're all out here together...

  • TFS 2012 work items migration to TFS 2013 along with History,Links/Attachments & Custom fields??

    Dear All,
    TFS 2012 work items migration to TFS 2013 along with History,Links/Attachments & Custom fields?? is there any way..
    Tried couple of tools:
    1) Excel based migration : loss of data is custom fields, links, attachments, status
    2) few tools in Code plex : Crashing/Not working.
    Kindly provide your valuable comments here.
    Cheers, Tarun

    Hi Tarun,
    I'd like to know the tools that you used in CodePlex. Generally, CodePlex project is not supported in MSDN forum, and you can post your questions and concerns in the issue secton of the project.
    If you use TFS integration tools, according to this
    blog, it is limited to migrating only Version Control items, Work Items, and the links between them. Please check the limiation and have a check with your migration. For the customized fields, you might need to do the same customizatoin on the target
    team project.

  • Sync Classic with Outlook - No Option With BB Link - Windows Contacts Only

    Hello,
    BB Link is not showing any options for syncing with Outlook 2013 (365) - the only choice I have is Windows Contacts.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled BB Link, and tried on a second PC.
    I really need to figure this out - does anybody have any suggestions on how to work through this problem.
    Thanks!
    Andy

    I have MS Office 365 and all things are syncing well, but I'm not sure I understand your question.
    My Outlook 2013 Contacts and Calendar sync across all my devices (BB Classic, desktop and 3 iPads) through Office 365.  There is no need to use BB Link.
    Except, that is, if you want to sync Calendar events further back than the max 6 months that the BB Classic allows.  I have about 20,000 Calendar entries going back to 1994 and they have been synced onto my Classic using BB Link, and they appear in a separate Calendar on my device called BB Link.
    So can you explain which your problem is?  Is it that nothing is syncing through Office 365 (no need for BB Link), or is it that you can't sync events older than 6 months onto your device?
    By the way, assuming you are still within 30 days of purchase of your new Classic, dont forget you can call the "Complimentary 30 Day Direct Support from BlackBerry".  You should have received a card in the box with the number you should call.  I live in the UK and I had reason to call the UK Toll Free number, the service was excellent.

  • Outlook 2013 (included with Home and Business 2013) does not archive everything

    We are running on Exchange 2010 SP3. We have about 5 PCs with Office Home and Business 2013 (click-to-run version). We set up auto-archiving on all machines and set the options to apply on all folders. It's supposed to back up everything 24 months prior.
    It does not back up everything. For example, on my machine which is Windows 8.1 (the others are windows 7 pro), it only backed up emails from March of 2013. We have already applied the registry fix where we do the following:
    registry key (dword) ArchiveIgnoreLastModifiedTime = 1
    Outlook 2013 in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Preferences
    That didn't help at all. The machines with Office Home and Business 2010 work fine.
    Anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks in advance,
    Alex

    Seems this is a single problem and we may focus on the problemic machine setting or data file itself.

  • Outlook 2013 Issues with Connecting to Gmail Exchange

    Outlook 2013 will not connect with Gmail account on cas_array.yourhostedexchange.com server. 
    Error message below appears each time I try to set up the account:
    The action cannot be completed. The connection to microsoft exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action.
    Occasionally it will set it up, then it reverts to 'Trying to Connect' .... maybe lasts a day working fine at the most. 
    Have attempted to use Outlook 2010 as never had issue when using this platform previously - also failed. Bigpond email as pop account is working fine. 
    Suggestions? 

    Hi,
    According to your description, there is connectivity issue about your Gmail account. If I misunderstanding your meaning, please feel free to let me know.

  • Cannot sync Outlook 2013 calendar with Windows 8 phone

    I recently bought a Nokia Lumia 1320 with Windows 8. I have tried to sync the calendar app with my Outlook 2013 calendar (on a Windows 8.1 PC).<o:p></o:p>
    I have created a Hotmail account on Outlook and converted my original Outlook calendar to a list before copying it to the Hotmail calendar account, as instructed on various MS web pages (I cannot
    enter hyperlinks here, your genius web site won't let me), but nothing appears on my phone.  It was actually MUCH easier to sync with my previous Android phone and an iPad - so much for seamless Windows connections.<o:p></o:p>
    After wasting many, many hours I noticed that if I
    manually enter an appointment in the Hotmail calendar (in Outlook), then it
    appears in the phone (and vice versa).  However it does not appear for events that I have mass-copied over to the Hotmail account, including recurring events.  This flies in the face of what the instructions say.  There are far too many future
    events for me to re-type, along with the danger that I might miss some.  Why doesn't the mass copy (only of future, recurring and
    active events) work?<o:p></o:p>
    I have wasted way too much time on this and am beginning to deeply regret buying a Windows phone. Any help would be gratefully accepted.

    Thanks for replying, Mike. I have set up two accounts on the phone, one is my 'normal' email account (non-Microsoft) and the other is my Hotmail account, which appears in Email + Accounts as 'Microsoft Account'.  I am now at work (in Australia) and
    don't have the phone with me, so I can't be sure of the exact words.
    Anyway with the MS account there is only one check box - Email.  In my endless trawling through the web I read somewhere that this 'primary' account automatically syncs the Calendar and Contacts, so the additional check boxes are considered redundant
    (which seems pretty dumb - a user might not WANT to sync them).
    I also set up an additional Hotmail account, which appeared as 'Hotmail 2', and this did have the sync Calendar and Contacts check boxes, but it will wouldn't do the job.  I tried deleting the 'primary' account so I could use the secondary account instead
    (and force the syncing through those check boxes), but it would not let me.

  • I cannot get an Outlook e-mail with a link to open in Firefox, it hangs.

    E-mails which I open in Outlook 2010 often have web links in them. Lately, I have been unable to get them to open in Firefox or Adobe Reader 10. I need help, but this requires co-ordinating HP, Microsoft, Mozilla and Adobe, unless you know how I can simplify this issue.

    Do the following please:<br><br>
    #Open Internet Explorer, go to Tools | Internet Options | Programs.<br><br>
    #Where you see the Email dropdown menu, change it to Outlook 2010.<br><br>
    #Apply/OK.<br>
    Your email client should now open links in any browser you've set as the default browser.

  • Sharepoint Foundation 2010 calendars not linking to Outlook 2013

    We have been using linked calendars between SharePoint Foundation 2010 and Outlook 2010 for some time. I have upgraded a few users to Outlook 2013 and now cannot link the SharePoint calendars. are there any known compatibility issues?

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the calendar in SharePoint Foundation 2010 cannot sync to Outlook 2013.
    Did this issue occur with all the calendars?
    I recommend to create a new calendar to see if the issue still occurs.
    Was there any error when you sync the calendar to Outlook 2013?
    If yes, please provide the error message for further research?
    Best regards.

  • Outlook 2013 Calendar syncing with Blackberry Q10 error

    Hi, i am facing a big challenge while syncing the Outlook 2013 calendar with blackberry Q10 through Blackberry Link Software.
    When syncing to BB, I get sync error "The following reoccurring event could not be synced: 13-Oct-14 - MD Mtg with Mgmt. Remove the event and sync again". The error refers to an event for a particular date. Practically, there is no such event in
    outlook for that particular date.
    I have tried syncing other calendars from the same outlook file successfully but failing to do with that particular calendar. I have also tried to sync the same calendar from outlook 2010 from different OS without any success. I am running Windows 7 - 64bit
    OS.
    I am running all latest updated patches from Microsoft and Blackberry for both OS.
    This calendar is very important as it has more than 3000 event entries.
    Please help me to resolve the same at earliest since the issue seems to be in particular Outlook 2013 calendar file. I suppose there could be some hidden entry for that particular date which is causing syncing to fail.
    Kindly let me know if you require any further information.

    Hi,
    This generaly means there is a problem with the indicated event, which cannot be sync'd to BlackBerry. You have to delete it before resyncing the calendar.
    If the entry does not appear for the date mentioned in the message, it may be located on one of the historic dates according to the recurrence pattern.
    Or you can use the tool of MFCMAPI to delete a hiden or corrupted calendar event:

  • Outlook 2013 calendar does not sync with iphone5

    All of a sudden, I am unable to sync Outlook 2013 calendar with my iphone5. It had been working just fine and I do not recall making any changes. Any ideas what to look for and how to fix this? I am running Outlook 2013 under Windows 8 Pro, my iPhone 5 is ios 6.1.3, and iTunes is 11.0.2.26.

    Exchange calendar became disconnected and did not sync for no reason at all. The solution - on your iPhone, go to Settings, Mail/Contact/Calendars, scroll to the bottom and set Exchange as your Default Account. Then do a test event on both tour iPhone and in Outlook and confirm it is working. Good luck - one word, patience.

  • ICloud with Windows 7 and Outlook 2013

    Can anyone help please?

    I was unable to integrate outlook 2013 either. Message may point us that those events are not available locally and possibly located at exchange of outlook.com server. I may be completely off base here, sorry if could not help.

  • Need help with Outlook 2013 connecting to Exchange server(2010)

    Hi
    I need help with Outlook 2013 and with my exchange server(2010) email account
    After setting up account initially emails come in and than after an hour or two stop. My OWA is working fine with no issues. I have even created a forward rule in OWA to my GMAIL account whch works fine
    However Outlook 2013 is not syncing messages, have difficulty in sending emails sometimes as it takes too long.  In fact the connection also is intermittent. Even if the task bar shows connected to exchange, it seems that is not the case since new emails
    and any emails I compose dont work.  I have trouble shot the issue with my ISP and email service provide, but they havent resolved the issue  I have also done a TraceRoute and that shows no drops or problems to he exchange server.
    Can someone please help me resolve this matter so I can continue to use Outlook 2013( running Windows 8.1) in both my computers which have the identical problem
    Look forward to a solution soon
    Thanks

    Hi Angela
    Thanks for your message
    To answer your questions, please note the following
    a) My account is set up in Cache Mode( not online mode)
    b) I am the only other user on the account
    c) When the connection to the exchange server is broken, I see upon clicking connection tab that there is no information in the box, and when I press reconnect it starts showing "connecting"
    d) When the connection to the server is there, it shows  connection as "established"
    e) Sorry I dont understand th meaning of CAS array in your environment?  Can you pls explain
    Since yday I have been using Outlook 2010 on desktop and Outlook 2013 on my laptop using Exchange 2013 account.  So far all emails are syncing, and I can send emails from both computers. However, I am concerned that the connection can break-off anytime,
    as it has done that in the past on both outlook versions.  The max time it has worked without any problem is 48 hrs and than after that the same issue of not connection, not syncing and unable to send emails happens
    My ISP has checked and there is no network connectivity issues. My email service provider has trouble shot the issue many times, but to no positive results.  I have also changed the profile a few times, but the intermittent connectivity problem hasn't
    been resolved.
    Can you identify the possible causes and more importantly a working permanent solution please
    Thanks

  • ICloud 2.1.1 not working with Microsoft Outlook 2013?

    HI, I needed some assistance from the experts here.
    I just had my laptop reformatted and redownload & installed the latest version of iCloud 2.1.1 Control Panel for Windows & Microsoft Office 2013.
    When I click on the buttom "Apply" to setup outlook for iCloud, i got this error message at Step 4 of 7. It keeps refreshing these 2 sentences "Downloading Contacts from iCloud" & "Uploading Contacts to iCloud" & eventually errored out with this error message "Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error".
    I checked my Microsoft Outlook 2013 & there is an iCloud Plug-In.
    But clicking on the "Go Online" button doesn't do anything.
    I used to be able to click on a "Go Online/Refresh" button in the past (with Microsoft Office 2007) and able to then synchronise new contacts in my outlook to iphone. But apparently, this doesn't work anymore.
    Thereafter, I tried uninstalling iCloud 2.1.1 and reinstalling it again immediately (without rebooting my laptop) & the same error message occurs when i tried to setup outlook for iCloud. And the worst thing is now the "iCloud plug-in" disappear inside Microsoft Outlook 2013 totally.
    I tried reading several threads and got confused.
    Is iCloud 2.1.1 Control Panel for Windows not compatible with Microsoft Outlook 2013 yet?
    Do I just have to wait for a new release from Apple or did i do something wrong in the installation of the softwares?
    Aprpreciate the assistance from some experts here.

    Well it's now the 14th and no replies, so have you sorted it.
    I could not get Outlook 2013 working with the control panel, although was working it was saying it was not configured.
    Worse still tried going back to Outlook 2007 and it did not want to know, in the end a disk image restore was required.
    I will try Outlook 2013 again in a few months maybe.
