Lumia 810 Direct PC sync with Outlook?

How can I directly sync Outlook to my Lumia 810 for my contacts and calendar?  Is there an app that I can install?  Is there one in development? If there is I will patiently wait.  I am very huge on security and honestly I don't need my calendar and contacts available for anything but my pc and my phone I won't have any other devices that I will need to access that so I just want a direct USB sync.  How can I do this.  I don't want to sync that data to the internet.
I would be very greatful if there can be an app developed and I would even pay for it, even if it was $100.00  I would like to directly sync my Lumia 810 w/ windows Phone 8 to my pc.  Please someone tell me  this is possible.
Thanks,
Stephen Bailey

Sure I do my best to protect my pc against trojans, but occasionally they sneak through for example family emails I had opened thinking it was harmless but found out days later they had an infection and I may have recieved it too without my knowledge.
There is nothing wrong with wanting a windows PDA like device with voice phone call ability, that's what I was looking for.  I don't care for the online presence of the phone and find many useful features that I can use on it without an online presence.  For one I can have up to 64 gigs of music and movies stored locally and don't have to pay for an online repository to store that music.  
Sure other phones can do this too but I also have word excel and powerpoint local to the device as well.  If I need to go online I just find a wifi hotspot but I have rarely needed to do that having the phone (I have data turned off).  I knew I was going to do this before getting the phone, didn't realize outlook was going to be a hassle though.
I have games on it that once downloaded will work without a data connection. 
There is actually a large userbase that agrees with my thinking. 
Here is a site that has 3,000 + votes agreeing they should sync to outlook directly
http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions/suggestions/1549639-sync-directl...
 I don't have to have a data connection on it to survive I am fully satisfied without having an all online data connection but if I can transfer my music movies, documents, etc over via a USB connection then what about my contacts and calendar. 
I mean really if I really had a good reason to not use the cloud shouldn't there be an alternative.  For example if there was a major disaster somewhere else that brought that server farm down (assuming the rollover farm was also down) then I am at the whim of that company to get their equipment back up and running and it may take days or weeks and I'm supposed to continue life with no other way to sync my data.   Many server farms are on the east coast and have recently been knocked off line.  while I understand I can't control mother nature or whatever happened to knock it off line, because of that I am limited as to how to obtain my data.  
Again I ask shouldn't I be allowed to have an alternative if I so choose?

  • Sync with Outlook ONLY for a specific date range

    I have a Zire 31 that I'm syncing with Outlook via latest Palm Desktop/HotSync.   I did just install the latest conduit.
    I was getting several repeating calendar entries that were not syncing with the Zire (annual birthdays, etc.) - turns out that they did not have an "end-date" specified when created in Outlook.  Creating an end-date solved the problem.
    However - I would like to know if it is possible to specify a certain date range for the device to sync (e.g., sync calendar only for years 2007 through 2050, or in other words sync from 1 year ago to 50 years in future, etc...)
    I recall specifying this once years ago, but I may have been using a third party to sync with Lotus Notes at the time.  I'm wondering if this option is also available with syncing directly with Outlook using HotSync???  I can't imagine it's not, but I can't find where you specify it.
    One more interesting note:  while my Zire 31 had issues syncing those repeating calendar entries - my much older HandSpring Visor Deluxe syncs them no problem!  Go figure.
    Thanks much -
    Post relates to: Zire 31

    I'm not actually looking to purge old items.
    Rather - I would like to ONLY sync calendar entries between a specified range of dates.  For example - ONLY sync for calendar entries between Jan 1 2007 and Jan 1, 2050.
    the problem is that I have some repeating entries (birthdays, etc.) that are set up in Outlook with no end date.  Apparently Palm/HotSync is having trouble syncing these (they don't show up at all - for any year.)
    One resolution is to apply an end-date for each repeating calendar entry.  However, this is just another step my wife needs to remember to do.  If you happen to forget to to this, then Hotsync will ignore that entry.  Fine if you realize that's happening, but if you forget and forget to check - you won't even know it didn't sync!
    The other possible resolution is to only have HotSync sync for a SPECIFIC date range - one that does not presumably go to infinity.  That is my question - how does one sync ONLY for a specific date range.  Has nothing to do with purging old entries.
    Thanks!!

  • IPhone 4 (iOS5) not syncing with outlook 2010 calendar

    Hi Guys,
    My iPhone 4 has been working great for the last few months up until recently.  I have been able to sync with outlook 2010 for both my contacts and calendar using iTunes sync in the past with no problems..  I went to conference last week and got back in the office sync’d yesterday.  Things are not right. My contacts sync, but calendar does not sync either way (phone to PC - PC to phone).  I upgraded to iOS5 and reloaded iTunes and I'm having the same problem.  I also noticed that my sync is taking much, much longer (like there is a conflict somewhere.)   The contacts still sync, but no new/changed calendar entries.  Anyone have this problem and have any ideas how do I can fix it?  Is it a simple setting switch on the iPhone or iTunes?  It's getting very frustrating!!  One of my office mates has been taunting me with his android phone and I’m starting to feel like I might have to do something drastic to get my calendar back on my phone…
    Outlook version is MS Pro Plus 2010 - 14.0.5128.5000 (64-bit)
    iTunes version is 10.5.0.142
    iPhone version is 5.0 (9A334)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hey, man. Sorry I have no solution, but it may not hurt to know you are not the only one.
    I uprgraded a 3GS to iOS 5, set it up to sync with iCloud initially, and then switched back to sync with PC as before. It seems that my calendar was syncing at first, but within a few days it just stopped.
    I also recall a ton of weird "sync conflicts" that I had to resolve, even though the iTunes conflict reslover showed information that was identical in Outlook and iPhone calendar.
    Notes and contacts sync just fine with Outlook 2003 under Windows Vista for me, but calendar will not sync at all any more, either direction.
    I have tried most of the suggestions, including restoring iPhone and creating a whole new user account in Windows and tried syncing iPhone and Outlook via iTunes that way (and both USB and wifi). I did not seem to have any better success.
    This is a disaster. So far I have just been using Notes to MANUALLY sync calendar info between devices.
    I have never given nearly as much thought to Android as I have lately.
    It may be time to call Apple Support, but my previous experiences with them (and the "Geniuses" at the store) were underwhelming.

  • N95-3 & Syncing with Outlook

    I currently use a WM5-based phone which syncs extremely well with Outlook. Using MS ActiveSync, I can sync all contacts and calendar entries including the notes fields for each.
    A year or so ago, I had used a Nokia 6256i and PC Suite software. While PC Suite worked, it did not allow me to sync contacts in Last Name, First Name format. Rather, it synced all contacts in First Name Last Name format. Also, it did not sync the notes fields for either contacts or calendar entries.
    Syncing with Outlook is the most important function for me in a phone, aside from RF and sound quality.
    How well does the N95 & PC Suite combo work? I'm hoping to find people who actually sync with Outlook and can verify first hand whether or not contacts sync in Last Name, First Name format and if the notes fields sync.
    Would love to buy a N95 but need to confirm sync functionality first. I don't care about push e-mail, syncing via BT is fine.

    All the ones I've used have.

    The notes appear in the Description field on the phone. As with contacts, I believe this has a size limit on the phone, so if the notes are too long, they could get truncated.

  • Category colors not syncing with Outlook

    I'm using WinXP Home and an AT&T Centro.  My category colors are not syncing with Outlook 2007 at all, in either direction.  On the PC and on the Centro, the colors are set the same for corresponding categories.  Is there a fix?

    Hello!
    At this time, color categories for calendar is no longer supported in current versions of Palm Desktop like version 6.  Could try Pocket Mirror from Chapura.com for this feature.

    why cannot iphone 4s 2way sync with outlook contacts? it says we have to use google calendar, i could not manage it but why we should pay so much money and have to sync pc and iphone contacts manualy..

    The sync process for contacts with a supported address book app on your computer is a bi-directional or true sync process, or should be. There is no setting to enable or disable this.

  • Pearl 8110 will not sync with Outlook Calendar

    I have a Blackberry Pearl 8110, and I upgraded the Desktop Manager, then it quit syncing with outlook calendar.  It does sync with noes, memos, addresses, but no calendar.  when the sync is getting to the calendar it says "please wait" then just kicks me out.  No error message in the log, nothing.  I even retrograded back to 4.7.0.17, but no changed.  Here is what else I have:
    Blackberry 4.5.0 Core Applications 4.5.0
    Blackberry 4.5.0 System Software Properties
    Blackberry MDS runtime Properties 4.5.0.20
    The calendar is the big thing for me.  Any Ideas??
    Thanks

    I just wanted to let you know that I'm having the same problem with my 8120 and it started on the 18th.  I spent 3 hours, 39 minutes, and 42 seconds on the phone with BB support yesterday with no luck and we tried every trick they could think of.  I'll certainly let you know if I find any information since I too can't live without my calendar. 

  • Calendar Will Not Sync With Outlook

    Calendar won't sync with Outlook 2003. Tasks, memos, and contacts will though. Under default services, it lists Facebook as my Calendar (CICAL). What do I need to do to change this so that my calendar syncs properly?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I think I have the very same problem, but I'm not techno-savy enough to understand the solution. Can you elaborate more? Like where do I find "Default Services"? And, where do I find "CICAL"? Please, make my day. Thanks

  • How can I get iCloud to sync with Outlook 2011 calendars??

    Recently got a new MBA11 and use an iPhone and rely heavily on Outlook. All I want to do is be able to sync my calendars and contacts across devices. When I used to be on Windows I could simply do this with Google Calendars and Google sync.
    Outlook 2011 isn't or doesn't support syncing with google (not sure who's fault this is).
    I thought iCloud would fix this however iCloud creates new calendars in iCal that won't sync with Outlook.
    Does anyone know a work around?
    Personally I would have thought this kind of thing would be simple, easy and a necessary function whether it be on google, apple or microsofts part!!

    Microsoft have not made Outlook for Mac compatible with iCloud since they haven't bothered to include support for the industry standard CalDAV and CardDAV protocols iCloud uses.
    See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915
    Apple cannot do anything to rectify this, as they don't make Microsoft Office. It is in Microsoft's hands.
    It wasn't necessary to buy Office for Mac to sync with iCloud. All Macs come with all the applications required for syncing with iCloud for free.
    Use Apple's Mail, Address Book and iCal.

  • How do I remove one of the calendars from iCloud but keep it on the iPhone to sync with Outlook by USB and keep the other calendars synced on iCloud ?

    iPhone 5, Macs and iPads at home, Windoze7 system at work. 
    Using iCloud to sync calendars, contacts, etc on all the home devices.  Used USB cable to sync at work with the Windows system, with the Outlook 2010 corporate account (corporate server).  I need only the Outlook calendar to be synced, syncing the contacts created too many problems with duplication, etc.  No need for that.  Worked fine until the latest upgrate to iOS7 and iTunes 11.1.  Used to have a calendar that was not on iCloud and was simply and exclusively syncing between the iPhone and the Windows computer at work. The other 3 calendars synced fine with the macs and iOS devices via iCloud but not with the machine at work - keeping private records private.
    Upon the iOS upgrade, all calendars are now on iCloud.  I am no longer able to remove one - for security too - from the iCloud and sync it with the Windows computer exclusively.  I managed to sync it once on the PC with iTunes by switching iCloud off on the iPhone before connection by USB cable.  Trying it again, it tells me that it will erase all items on the Outlook account (the "more than 25% of your records are going to change" alert) and won't add or modify any.  I stopped the sync in time...
    Tried on the iCloud site for a solution to remove the calendar, nothing.
    There is no iCloud setup on this corporate computer - no access permitted. The USB cable connection is the only solution and up to the upgrade of the iOS this went seamlessly.
    Any solution out there?
    Thanks

    I share a similar situation (usb iTunes sync with Outlook with my corporate laptop; personal calendar on icloud).
    With IOS7, at first, iTunes/Windows does not propose Outlook sync anymore. I need to switch off calendar from iTunes to enable usual usb sync with Outlook. I had to sync it twice while checking "replace iphone data" to get a stable behaviour (like before) IOS7.When I try to re-enable icloud calendars, it proposes me to merge them...
    I did not test merging so far...
    IOS7 and iTunes 11.1 are not completely polished ;-)

  • I use iCal, work wants me to sync with Outlook, how do I do this?

    Dear Community.
    I'm happily using iCloud to run my diary across all my Apple devices, how do I get my current setup to sync with Outlook so my office can see my diary?
    I don't want to change how I make appt's, I can make an appt on my phone, iPad or MacBook and it'll sync nicely, I just need to be able to share one specific Work diary in my iCloud/ Apple account with Outlook. I use Outlook on my MacBook for email only, I have no interest in using the calendar function other than to keep it synced to allow my colleagues to access it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's bad enough that people want to be able to track my daily schedules, without having to spend hours trying to figure out how to keep the system I have for diary management and not have to move everything just to placate someone.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Crackyrich,
    I may have a possible solution for you.  Since you have everything set up in iCloud, have you tried the Calendar sharing feature?  You can create a work calendar to keep it separate from your personal calendar, and share the work calendar privately or publicly.   Here's how:
    iCloud: Calendar sharing overview
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2689
    You can share a calendar both publicly and privately with other people. Sharing gives you flexibility in managing calendars. For example, you could create a calendar for your child’s sports team and share it privately with just the coaches so they can edit it. You could also share it publicly with all the parents so they can view (but not change) it whenever they want. 
    Sharing works as follows:
    Public calendars can be shared with anyone. To access public calendars, visitors need to use Calendar on a Mac, Microsoft Outlook on a Windows computer, or any other app that supports the iCalendar file format. 
    A public calendar can’t be edited by anyone but the calendar owner (the creator).
    Private calendars can be shared with other iCloud users. 
    Participants can view the calendar using iCloud Calendar; the Calendar app on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or a Mac; or Microsoft Outlook on a Windows computer. 
    As the owner (creator) of a shared calendar, you assign edit privileges to the invitees to control who can modify the calendar. There are two types of access privileges that can be assigned: 
    Participants with View Only access can:
    View the calendar and change their view (from day to week, for example), without affecting the view of other participants
    Change their own calendar preferences 
    Participants with View & Edit access privileges can do everything listed above, plus:
    Create and delete calendar events
    Change details (for example, the name, date, and time) for calendar events
    Track the responses of guests invited to a calendar event
    Participants can’t invite new people to a shared calendar.
    Note:    If multiple participants try to edit a shared calendar at the same time, the changes that are saved first are kept and reflected in the calendar. The person whose changes arenʼt saved sees a message that his or her changes werenʼt saved. 
    If you disable your iCloud account, any shared calendars you created become unavailable; all participants automatically receive an email notifying them that the calendar is no longer shared.

    iCloud: Share a calendar with others
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690
    iCloud: Share a calendar with others
    You can share a calendar both publicly and privately with other people. For specifics about viewing and editing privileges for shared calendars, and how participants can access the calendars, see Calendar sharing overview. 
    Share a calendar privately
    Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
    Note:    You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.” 
    Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
    Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only). 
    For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
    When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
    Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
    Share a calendar publicly
    Click the Share button to the right of the calendar you want to share, then select Public Calendar.
    Note:    You can also share the same calendar privately. For instructions, see the previous task, “Share a calendar privately.” 
    To invite people to view the calendar, click Email Link.
    Type one or more email addresses in the To field, then click Send.
    The people you specify automatically receive an invitation email that includes the calendar’s URL. An invitee doesn’t need to be an iCloud user to accept an invitation to view a shared public calendar. 
    In the sidebar, a shared calendar has a dark Share button.
    You can also resend invitations to one or more invited participants at any time.

  • The last update turned on iCloud. How do I get my calendar to sync with outlook now?

    The last update turned on iCloud. How do I get my calendar to sync with outlook now?

    iCloud wasn't on, I accepted iTunes offer to upgrade to 6.1.1.
    Next time I went to sync through iTunes, iCloud was on.
    Your advice appears to have solved my problem...for now.
    Thank you.
    Historically, the upgrade to 6.0 lost all of my contacts.
    A manual restore brought them back.
    Tech support said "Oh, that happens sometimes, you have to back up before upgrades", fortunately I do.
    Again, thank you for the help.

  • IPhone will no longer sync with Outlook 2007

    I've had my iPhone for about 16 months - the sync with Outlook 2007 worked great until about 3 months ago (I'm guessing previous update to the one that happened today.) No changes to the laptop I synch with - Vista.
    In iTunes under the "Info" tab for Calendars I see the message "No supported calendar application can be found."
    Normal sync for music works and photo uploading works fine.
    Help!
    Thanks!

    Hi P,
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and Outlook. You can download the latest version of iTunes here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

  • IPhone no longer syncs with Outlook Contacts/Calendar

    For months I was syncing with my computer at home for music and videos, then I bring my iPhone to work and sync my Outlook Contacts and Calendar.
    Now, when I plug in my iPhone on my work computer, everything operates as it used to, it still says it's syncing contacts, then syncing the calendar, but after it's done, when I look at the calendar or contacts in my iPhone, nothing has changed. It's simply not syncing with Outlook anymore, even though the status bar at the top of iTunes says it is syncing.

    It appears I have solved the issue myself and thought I would share the solution in case anyone runs into this problem.
    In Outlook, I only have one profile. However, Outlook somehow had some settings changed where it prompted me for which profile I wanted to use each time I started Outlook (even though I only have one profile). Because it was prompting me to choose when I start Outlook, I am guessing that when iTunes tried to access Outlook, it was also prompting iTunes to choose which profile to use as well. Since iTunes didn't know which profile, it wasn't syncing properly (note, iTunes never asks you which profile you want to use).
    To fix this, I went to the control panel, double clicked the mail icon, clicked the button that says "Show Profiles". I highlighted the only profile I have listed in the drop-down menu and checked the box that says "Always use this profile".
    I then sync'd iTunes with my phone and the calendar and contacts finally updated!
