MERGING Outlook 2010 & iPhone 4

I have followed suggestions on MERGING Outlook 2010, Windows 7, iPhone 4, but the Apply button doesn't open up the merge option.  Everything worked with my iPhone 3, Windows XP, and Outlook 2008.  Now I have an iPhone 4, Windows 7, and Outlook 2010 all within a few months so I haven't a clue why I cannot get the option to merge instead of uploading/downloading my data between the computer and iPhone.  Help!  I use both heavily and am tired of deleting duplicate information or not have data in both places.  Needing to sync this system so I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Once you have synced your phone with an iTunes library I don't think you can get the merge option.  If you can get your contacts and calendar to be correct in Outlook, you can replace the calendar and contacts on your phone with the ones in Outlook.  To do this, prior to connecting your phone, go to iTunes preferences and on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically.  Then connect your phone and on the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings, confirm that you have checked to sync your contacts and calendar with Outlook.  Then further down under Advanced>Replace information on this iPhone, check Contacts and Calendars.  Apply and sync.  This should mirror your phone with the information in Outlook and establish two-way syncing without creating duplictes.  (You can then go back and restore automatic syncing if you prefer this.)

  • Hello! How can i setup and what to enable that my secretary has my shared calendar on her Iphone and that she can edit it? We are on Exchange 2010, Outlook 2010, Iphone 4s. Can it be done through some app? Thank you!

    Hello! How can i setup and what to enable that my secretary has my shared calendar on her Iphone and that she can edit it? We are on Exchange 2010, Outlook 2010, Iphone 4s. Can it be done through some app? Thank you! I'm trying to avoid creating my exchange activesync account on her Iphone and then sync only my calendar.

    Thank you for your time. I'm trying to avoid that because she can then simply turn on mail syncronization and then she could read my mail. Another reason is our password policy, that enforces changing our windows logon password every 90 days. Of course changing windows logon passwords demands changing exchange account logon info (password) on Iphone. I have read somwhere that there was an app but it was removed from app store. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Attachments (such as pdf) in a mail merge Outlook 2010

    Along with the problem of having the mail merges sent from the wrong email account, I also need to attach a PDF of a brochure for the recipient's printing.  I don't see a way to do this.  Can someone help?  I did a search and it mentions a
    Visual Basic way to do this but I don't know the first thing about usng Visual Basic.  I am willing to learn if that is the only way these issues can be overcome.
    Thanks.

    OK, well it looks like I have answered this question myself.  It may not be the easiest or the most elegant solution, but my Googling came up with this
    http://omma.sourceforge.net/.  It actually works rather nicely, but you have to set Outlook to work Offline first and then do the full mail merge.  Once the completed and merged emails are in the Outlook
    Outbox, you run the script and it pulls the selected attachment and adds it to the emails one at a time.  It takes several minutes to complete, but it works.
    If anyone else has a more efficient solution, please feel free to chime in.  I DO still need help with the selection of the outgoing email account, so if you have any solution for that, please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • I cannot make my Outlook 2010 calendar/tasks/contacts sync with the calendar on my iPhone 5, I cannot make my Outlook 2010 calendar sync with the calendar on my iPhone 5

    I have wasted so many hours trying to make this work and researching Apple support.  Nothing works so I am hoping to get an answer here.
    First of all, here is what I am using:
    Windows 7 32 bit
    Outlook 2010
    iPhone 5 and iPad 3
    iOS 7.0.2 on both devices
    I have downloaded the iCloud app for my Windows computer and checked that it sync my contacts, calendar, and tasks.  I have enabled iCloud on my phone for contacts, calendars and tasks.  I have not been able to get anything to sync.  My iCloud calendar appears in Outlook but everything is grayed out.  I see the iCloud reminders under my tasks tab but there is nothing listed.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iCloud on my Windows computer.  I have turned off the calendars, tasks, and contacts sync under iCloud on my phone and turned them back on - nothing.  I have restarted my computer and iPhone - nothing.  Same results with my iPad - nothing.
    Additionally, I have gmail as my personal email; also am forced to use Good for Enterprise for my work email. 
    I am at my wits end.  I finally ended up syncing today with the USB cable via iTunes but the whole point behind iCloud is to be able to sync wirelessly. 
    ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello there janis143,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like after the recent iOS update, your Outlook content is no longer syncing properly to your phone.
    I found this article named:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting contact and calendar syncing via USB on Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692
    I recommend the troubleshooting steps therein.
    All the very best,

  • Syncing Calender with Outlook 2010

    When I sync, my appointments change by 1 day on my calenders. I have checked the date on both my computer and my Iphone. I have reset and restored, made sure the reminders are off. Windows 7, outlook 2010, iphone 3Gs, firmware 4.2.1. Very frustrating and only happened recently. everything else seems to sync just fine. any clues???

    Have you checked if you have "Set Automatically" switched off in Settings, General, Date and Time and are using the wrong time zone?

  • I was going to purchase Office for Mac 2011, including Outlook.  However, I am hearing many problems with this software including the inability to sync Outlook with iPhone and iPad

    I currently sync my iPhone and iPad with Outlook on my Windows Desktop, but want to switch and still do this on my new Mac running Lion.  However what I am reading about the nightmares of syncing with Outlook in Office for Mac 2011 is making me think twice about going down this road.  What an awful situation of purchasing a Mac and being potentially stumped by 'Office for Mac 2011'.
    I want to continue using Microsoft Office including Outlook for my business applications - but on the Mac.  I like Keynote for presentations, however I also have to create presentations in PowerPoint for some business situations.  So, although I don't ideally want to put Windows onto my Mac, would it be more efficient and less hassle to use Parallels 7, Windows 7 and Office 2010, rather than endure the issues associated with OFM 2011?
    If I decide to use Parallels 7 and Windows 7 am I then into using software to protect against virus' and malware?
    I wouldn't be asking this question if Office for Mac 2011 (including Outlook) wasn't a problem - sadly from what I'm reading, it is. 
    Thank you in anticipation.

    I just resolved my Outlook 2010 + iPhone Calendar sync issue today :  if you have multiple email accounts set up in Outlook (like I do), then you'll find that each account has it's own Calendar (a rather pointless feature IMO).  However you probably only use one Calendar like most people, and what has happened is that the mail account which is set as default for Data Files is not the one you are using.  Try this:
    Outlook 2010 -->  Account Settings -->  click "Data Files" tab -->  select as default whichever acct. is associted with the Calendar you use.  

  • Outlook 2010 new calendar item sync??????

    I have Outlook 2010 and iphone 4 at&t. When I add a calendar item on my iphone and then sync iphone to outlook using itunes, the calendar item doesn't appear on my outlook calendar. Any ideas? Thanks

    Suddenly I am having the exact problem.  I tried uninstalling the most recent update of iTunes (following all the Apple instructions to completely uninstall it) and installing the next older version, thinking maybe it was the iTunes update that broke it.  That didn't work.
    I have checked my Outlook AddIns and the Outlook iTunes add-in is not disabled.  When I check my Info tab it tells me that "No Supported Calendar App can be found".  Yet, it can find my Contacts in Windows Outlook.
    I am running Windows 7 64-bit, MS Outlook 2010, iPhone 4
    So, I'm also looking for ideas.

  • IPhone 4S Calendar will not synch to OutLook 2010 from 1 of 2 phones

    Problem: iPhone 4S Calendar will not synch to OutLook 2010 from 1 of 2 phones. Contacts synch fine. Was no problem in the past until...
    Sorry for the length. Trying to give all info I can.
    Summary: Had to get motherboard fixed under factory warranty which included new hard drive, and reinstall everything on an HP DV7 laptop. So this is a clean installation of everything on the laptop (Win7). Configuring iTunes and Outlook 2010 for two iPhone 4S users (myself and wife) was my last step. Re-established each user account to iTunes. Calendar synch problem popped up on one of two iPhones that did not exist before.
    Prior history: all synchs worked great prior to the clean install and I never had a problem.
    Config: Windows 7, two iPhone 4S, Week Calendar apps on both. All software up-to-date on iPhones and Win7 (fanatic about that). Had OL2010 PST datafile backups and simply used them for the OL re-installs. OL2010 makes that easy. Each user has their own Win7 login to keep our stuff separate. Of course, OL has Calendar as part of its install.
    Week Calendar apps on both are configured with same calendars (Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work). Verified each iPhone Calendars app, Calendar button: From My PC listing has all these checked: All From My PC, Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work; Other: Birthdays.
    Difference: In using iTunes to synch, iTunes said the iPhone account was different from the OL account and asked to merge or replace. Apparently this is normal for iTunes on a new install (since basically it is) synching to prior synched stuff.
    iTunes settings for both: Connect iPhone for each user and checked INFO settings for Contacts and Calendars.I used “selected calendars” and verified. Each user has all four calendars checked.
    NOTE: Prior to each users first synch below, neither user had anything in OL2010 Calendar. Can't blame on recurring events problems in OL. ALL the events are on the iPhones and are being synched TO the PC to populate OL2010 Calendars.
    Additional Note: Contacts was already loaded into OL from my backups so synching has no problem.
    User 1 iPhone: Success 1st try.
    In iTunes, selected “merge info” instead of replace.
    Results: User 1 synched fine from iTunes to OL2010 including the 4 Calendars (Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work). 4 calendars showed up. No problems at all. Wonderful! expected behavoir.
    User 2 iPhone: Still failing to synch.
    In iTunes, selected “replace” instead of merge info. Apple’s dialog is incredibly confusing and non-explicit on what copies to what and what it does.
    Results: User 2 synched fine from iTunes to OL2010 for Contacts. DID NOT synch the 4 Calendars (Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work). Only calendar that shows up in OL is Calendar and it doesn’t contain any data. iTunes has no errors and the synch status bar indicates everything went fine.
    Tried: I deleted the PST files and copied the backup files back to OL to start over. ITUNES no longer gives me the merge info versus replace option. I’ve synched multiple times but the calendar data will not synch.
    Not Tried: Creating the same remaining named calendars (Home, My Birthdays, Work) in OL and trying again.
    ALL suggestions is greatly appreciated.

    Ok, new info. This gets better and better.
    In OL2010, the Calendar in the navigation pane had no arrow indicating it had subcalendars within it. I right clicked on Calendar and chose New Calendar. It gave me a list of the existing calendars that were missing !!
    When I cancelled, there was an expand arrow next to Calendar in the Navigation pane !!!!!
    Expanding it showed the unchecked missing calendars. I checked them and synched again.
    WRONG THING TO DO! ALL my wife's calendar entries in her iPhone since the laptop went down 3 weeks ago DISAPPEARED. No warnings, nothing at any step of this process. The OL files overwrote the iPhone data.
    I can't find any way to get them back as this **** iStuff relies on iTunes for everything.
    Is there any way to get her files back from before this synch?
    Is there no way to save data files off the iPhone w/o iTunes?
    Why doesn't iTunes let you control the direction of data transfer?
    I now have one very ****** off wife.

  • How to sync Outlook 2010 calendar (on my local windows 7 computer) with my iPhone 5c without  iCloud?

    How to sync Outlook 2010 calendar (on my local windows 7 64 bit computer) with my iPhone 5c without  iCloud?

    You would sync Outlook via iTunes on the computer. Connect the iPhone to the computer, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes running, select the iPhone in iTunes and it will display the Summary page. Select the Info tab, and there you would select what you want to sync calendar and contacts to. Make sure since this is the first time you have done a sync that whichever of the devices is new to the sync process has at least one unique contact/calendar event to get iTunes to prompt you for a merge or replacement. You can see this support document for help in setting up initial syncing. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

  • Sync iphone calendar with outlook 2010

    Having a bit of trouble getting this to work. It's on the bosses PC so I don't have much time at his PC to troubleshoot.
    Running Windows 7 and outlook 2010 (all updated) POP account , hosted by godaddy
    Everything sync's fine except calendar appointments from the iPhone 4 to Outlook.
    I am currently loading outlook on my PC to recreate the problem and/or find a solution.
    He says it used to work, but when iOS 5 came out, it got broken a few months ago
    I did find some articles about loading the iCloud control panel to adjust settings on the calendar sync, so that's the first step.
    We also discussed a real Exchange account, but that is not in the budget for now. (hosted email) it would solve other problems too.
    any help would be appreciated. forgive me if this have been solved before, I haven't found anythin recent on the search.
    Thanks

    iCloud control panel seemed to fix this issue. Now I have to figure out how to merge all the new iphone calendars showing up in outlook

  • IPhone 4 won't sync calendar with Outlook 2010 and Windows 7

    I have iPhone 4 and have noticed my Outlook 2010 (32 bit) calendar won't sync in either direction with my iPhone. I run Windows 7 (64 bit version 6.1 Home Premium). ITunes (10.4.1.10 version) sees my device and I even checked the serial number match. Entries in my calendar on the phone don't appear in Outlook and entries in Outlook don't appear on the phone. I have double checked all the settings and they all seem correct, so what is happening here?

    Did you try the troublshooting mentioned here? Troubleshooting iPhone and iPod touch contact and calendar syncing via USB on Windows
    Start with resetting the sync history:
    Reset Sync History
    If you find that some of your data syncs to your device but you see an unexpected number of changes or modifications, you may need to reset your sync history. This causes iTunes to prompt to Merge or Replace information on the device when you next attempt to sync your information. To reset your Sync History:
    Open iTunes.
    From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.
    Click the Devices tab.
    Click the Reset Sync History button.

  • How can I sync my contacts and calender of Outlook 2010 with my iPhone?

    I recently acquired a new PC with *windows 7 prof* and *outlook 2010* and whilst I am receiving mail, my contacts and calender are not syncronising?

    Do you have sync contacts and sync calendar events with Outlook selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    If not and your Outlook address book and calendar are empty, before selecting this and the first sync for this data, enter one contact and one calendar event in Outlook. This should provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

    Syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

    Seriously folks?  I know it was long but I added all info to negate a need for endless back/forth clarifications.  No answers???
    FYI, i tried syncing contacts to google/gmail and it was a total clusterF as well.  No gmail contacts, synced iphone, gmail contacts populated w/ all info but w/lots of repeat entries.  Used seek and merge repeats in gmail and then resync but no such luck.  Lots of iterations and nothing but fails.  Seems everytime the phone and the gmail lists are "as desired" a new sync puts a ton of repeats back into gmail or onto phone.  Still perplexed and still needing help....
    pretty please....
