Marking a calendar item as "private" on iPhone 3GS

Hi.. does anyone know if this is possible or if there is an app that can enhance the calendar so you can do this? I work for a UK corporate (and am based in the UK) and have my work Outlook email and calendar synched to my iPhone but when I create a new entry on the iPhone I can't seem to see how to tag it as "private" like you can in Outlook.
[Sorry if this has been posted before but I'm new to this discussion board so I am not sure where to find things just yet!]
Thanks people
Emilie

Thanks ckuan.
To clarify, I have 3 accounts configured on my iPhone. When i create a new calendar entry it defaults to being associated to my work account (as i have this set as my default account in settings) but i can change this easily. Regardless of which calendar i select there is not flag to set the entry as "private". As such when i then view this entry in outlook it is not marked as private so others in my company can see the detail.
I'm either having to go into outlook to set the appointment as private or create two entries on my phone - 1 simply with a title as private in my work calendar and then a real one in my personal account. This actually isn't that great either as i like to mark all my personal appointments as private too as i don't want these visible to anyone who has access to my personal calendars which are hotmail/gmail calendars.
Sorry if i missunderstood your response but if you know how i can see this working that would be great.

Deleted calendar items still appearing on iPhone

Calendar items deleted on the PC (Outlook 2003 or Entourage 2008 - 12.1.7, - both linked to Exchange Server 2007) remain in the iPhone (OS 2.2.1) calendar. I am using wireless Exchange ActiveSync.
It was working fine, but has now stopped removing deleted items.
Calendar items added on the iPhone show up in Outlook/Entourage, so no problem in this area.
I have tried turning 'off' the Calendar on the iPhone, then turning in 'on', allowing it to re-sync, but this has not solved the problem. My MobileMe accounts are all fine.
I had Xerox DocuShare client add-on installed on Outlook 2003, but this was installed well before the problem appeared. It have uninstalled it, just to be sure, but the issue was not resolved.
I am mystified as to why this issue should appear. Any ideas? Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks for the suggestion Allan.
I deleted the Exchange account and recreated it. Unfortunately the deleted items still appear.
I thought it may be linked to the deletion of single occasions of repeating events, but the failure of single events to delete from the iPhone is also apparent. I appreciate the help.

In the Event mode use the View ➙ Sort ➙ By Date ➙ Decending menu option. Then the latest imports will be near the top of the Event window (depending on when the photos were taken of course).
Or Control-Click on one of the thumbnails in the Last Import album and select Show Event from the contextual menu:

My 32gb Touch was stolen but have content stored in iTunes. Can I sync all content including notes, calendar, apps, etc to the iPhone 3GS?

My 32gb iPod Touch was stolen but have content stored in iTunes.
Can I sync all content including notes, calendar, apps, etc to the iPhone 3GS 16gb?
And, will the data that was stored on the iPod Touch be recovered?! Obviously I will have to unclick some of my photos and music for example in order to fit content onto the iPhone

If you had synced the ipod to the itunes yes
connect your iphone to itunes and then under devices u'll see iphone right click and u'll see restore backup

ITunes no longer able to sync Calendar items and Bookmarks on iPhone.

Things have been going great with syncing my iPhone through iTunes on my 24" intel iMac, until yesterday (3/9/08). I haven't changed anything in the last couple of days. I always download and install the latest iPhone, iMac, iTunes updates the same day they come out. So it's been about a week since those last updates, and things synced fine until just yesterday. I create and reschedule A LOT of calendar items on my iPhone, and create a fair amount of bookmarks as well.
Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Well, it's been over a week now, and still no real answers on how to fix this syncing issue. Does anyone know how to revert my iPhone to the previous version of its software? Things worked fine until the recent update.
I've even opened up my quandry to Cliff and the forum gang at GSPN.tv's "Help iGot a Mac" podcast and forums. Here is the link to that thread: http://gspn.tv/forum/index.php?topic=977.0
Maybe together, a better solution that a full iPhone restore is out there (I just can't risk losing the 120+ calendar items I've created on my iPhone since the last successful sync with my iMac).
Thanks in advance,
Wayne

Calendar Items Created on the iPhone do not Correctly Sync to Outlook 2003

I have a first generation iPhone that I upgraded the firmware to version 2.0. This problem didn't exist until after I upgraded.
I only sync my iPhone with one Outlook 2003 calendar. Soon after the upgraded, I noticed there were 3 calendars showing on my phone:
- Calendar
- Home
- _ModCal24c5.Home
Since Calendar seems to be my main calendar and the other two were empty, I deleted Home and _ModCal24c5.Home. Now, when I create a calendar item on my iPhone and sync, it appears not to have transferred to my PC.
If I search for the iPhone calendar item in Outlook, it shows up in the active appointments list and I can copy it over to the Calendar folder. But then later, I notice that other meetings I set up in Outlook have disappeared. Erased both on the iPhone and in Outlook even though they were there and I never deleted the meeting in either the phone or the application.
Pretty much, the Outlook Calendar iPhone synch is screwy. I'm afraid to investigate my Contacts list since some entries may have disappeared, too.

I have been unable to sync Outlook 2002 and iPhone 2G since I upgraded to 7.7 and 2.0. Don't want to have to upgrade outlook but will do so if I know it will work. Anybody not having the problem???
I have spent hours trying to resolve. Please help

Set up iCloud with iPhone and iMac, and all my calendar items disappeared from my iPhone. Help?

I had a full calendar on my iPhone4 before I activated iCloud on my iMac and iPhone. All that's left on the iPhone calendar are a few birthdays. Can someone please tell me how to sync my iMac with my iPhone via iCloud (boy, that's a lot of "i's")??

If you are going to use iCloud then stop using iTunes. Set up 2 user accounts on your PC, one for you and one for her, in each account enter the correct iCloud credentials (ie: yours for you and hers for her), do not sync the items that are on iCloud with iTunes, it will make a mess.

Should an calendar item put into the iPhone sync directly with my home computer?

Hello:
When I input an event on my iPhone ,it doesn't show on my iMac the other way around works fine.Am I missing something? John Basso.

You may have the wrong calendar selected as your default calendar on your phone. Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts>Calendars>Default Calendar and make sure you have selected your iMac calendar.

Problems getting Outlook email and calendar items to synch on iPhone 4S's. Suggestions?

Many people in my office are having this problem...with a variety of different Windows versions and a variety of different generations of Outlook. (Our office is gradually upgrading.)
Ideas? I've studied the threads out there and none seemed to help.
Thanks very much.

Hey Bonesaw,
Thanks for the response. It's a mixture of different things -- for example, my email syncs (over the air) but not my calendar. Others are experiencing no syncing at all.

Contacts and calendar items disappear when exchange server is off

Hi All
I've been having this problem for a few weeks now and it's most frustrating. My iphone is setup to sync over the air to our corporate exchange server. It seems that when the server is down for repair/patching ALL my contacts and calendar items disappear from my iphone. This doesn't seem to happen if the phone is out of signal?
I know that I can sync directly with Outlook, however this would then mean that the phone is only updated when synced with my laptop at work. If I sync both over the air AND with Outlook, I get duplicates of everything in my calendar.
I'm not restoring my iphone to factory defaults to get rid of the duplicates and go back to over the air sync only.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get calendar and contacts to work "offline" when the exchange server is down?
Main PC is running Windows 7 and exchange is 2007. This problem is only recent, I think in the last month of two. Nothing has changed other than the last few firmware updates from Apple.

hi, cheers for the info. That would make sense, however how come when I'm out of signal and not connected to wifi, the data doesn't also disappear as that too would render the server "unavailable".
Is there a way to make the iphone keep a copy of the data much the same as "offline mode" in Outlook where you can still browse your email, calendar and contacts when the server is offline, and it picks up where it left off when the server is available again?
I appreciate this may not be a "problem" as such, but is frustrating as all my contacts and calendar live in Outlook and I can't function without them

Calendar items not showing ONLY in list view on iPhone

Weird: My Calendar items are not showing in the list view only, on iPhone.
They show when I search, they show in month, they show in Day views--just NOT in list view.
Ideas?

I just had the same problem (calendar information--for eight different calendars--OK on laptop and on Mobile me; on the iPhone only 3 of my calendars were displaying in "List" view, but all eight were appearing in "Day" view); first time I've encountered this problem (and immediately after installing the 11-February-2010 iPhone software update, so I'm suspicious that this might have been the cause).
Solution described in posting immediately above seems to have worked. I.e.,:
1. shut OFF MobileMe syncing for calendars on the iPhone (from Settings menu);
2. wait for calendar entries to be removed;
3. shut off iPhone, and wait 2 minutes;
4. restart iPhone;
5. turn ON MobileMe syncing for calendars on the iPhone (again, from Settings menu).
All eight calendars now appear in List view (and still appear in Day view).

IPhone will not display calendar items more than one day in advance.

iPhone will not display calendar items more than one day in advance.
I used to have a droid and loved the calendar on the main screen that used to show me the next few appointments coming up - so far I have only figured out how to put in to show for next day or 2 days or etc....
is there any way to show tomorrow and next few days in notification, or is there a good app out there that will greet me. dont have 4s to ask just a 4
i used google calendar and they all show up in calendar but REALLY need the functionality to see what is coming up, kind of like what you see in outlook or any other email program.
please help out this noob.

Calendar items added on iPhone don't show in Outlook

There are four different color calendars showing on my iPhone 3GS. The items I add from my work PC on my Outlook calendar are blue. The items I add to my calendar on the iPhone are red. The red items do not show on my Outlook calendar. I've tried showing only the blue calendar, and adding the item on my iPhone, but it defaults back to the red calendar. How can I get appointments I add from my iPhone to show on my Outlook calendar?

Thank you! I had done a search but didn't find that earlier thread. The calendar items posted from my PC were blue, so I switched my default calendar to the blue calendar. I added a calendar item on my iPhone and it showed up on my calendar as blue. Before it was showing up as red. I'm sure this will be in my Outlook calendar on Monday.

HT1296 I have an iPhone 5 and a Mac desk top with the latest software versions. I cannot sync calendar items entered on my phone to the computer. Items entered on the computer first, will sync to the phone, but not the other way. What settings do I need t

How do I get calendar items entered on my iPhone5 to sync to my Mac desk top? The sync seems to omly work from computer to phone.

The iCloud settings for the computer and other devices are in the iCloud preferences in System Preferences. If you open iTunes with your iPhone connected to the computer, select the iPhone under Devices in iTunes' sidebar, then click on the Info tab in iTunes' main window. Look at the various items you see listed. Be sure to check the Mail component for your GMail account because it is not an iCloud mail account. Your Calendar and Contacts components should state that they are being synced by iCloud.
