MS Outlook 2003 and Iphone 2G calendar synching issues

hi,
I have just recently (after a very long IPhone download) am having synch issues. Some of my appointments are on the Iphone but not seen on Outlook. I read something about a com add in but when I tried to check this and add, my outlook didn't have this option. I am very aggravated!!!! I am in sales and have many appts during the day and now I am afraid I am going to forget one if i don't check both phone and outlook.. Please help!!!!

This is causing alot of problems no idea what percentage of windows users sync'ing with Outlook this is effecting but a lot of unhappy campers out there.
For a constantly updating discussion on this try an independent site:
http://getsatisfaction.com/apple/topics/myiphone_calendar_will_not_sync_with_outlook2007 Covers 2003 Outlook too. - (Scroll down to 16th July)
Apple although acknowledged the problem, now 2 weeks ago seem in no hurry to correct it, something to do with trying to sell MobileMe a cynic may say? Problem has mean't alot of businesses returning iphones, exchanging for Blackberries or just trying to revert back to their smartphones or ppc's.
This added to the problems of bluetooth handsfree kits not working with voicemail and 3G problems I suspect Apple are wishing they never released Firmware 2.0 and iTunes 7.7.
We are all hoping for a swift patch for this critical problem but then again we were doing that 2 weeks ago too... until then at least my XDA Orbit still works.
Repeating the appointment once so it is a reoccuring one day appointment has proved to work in the meantime - major pain though. I am testing Dionhall's fix at the moment, it sounds as if it is fixing the problem for most users. (See link above)

Outlook 2011 and mountain lion calendar sync issues... resolved (kinda)

Okay... I never really post to these boards, but I'm fairly ticked off that OS X keeps tampering with MS Office and it's syncing with iTunes and, ultimately, my iPhone. Apple support tried to push me onto the iCloud, but I'm not going to use that crappy feature. After many hours of trying to fix the calendar sync issue with MS Office 2011, I found a workaround:
1. Get the apple reminders set up to recognize the OS X Calendar program.
2. Confirm that your Outlook calendar data is recognized in the OS X Calendar program (it was always there for me)
3. Install MS Office 2008 (Entourage) --- You don't have to use it, but the older program still syncs with Mountain Lion.
4. Sync your iphone with itunes and ensure that your Calendars are erased (uncheck the Calendar sync box).
5. Click on the "Replace Information on this iPhone) for Calendars.
6. Re-sync the iPhone with iTunes.
7. The data should go up with no problem.
IF you are still having problems...
1. go to OS X "Calendar" and Add a new calendar called "Home".
2. move the Outlook data to the Home calendar (just drag and drop).
3. Repeat steps 4-7 above.
Since I've done these changes, everything directly syncs.
Hope this helps, and don't lose faith. MS will come up with some type of patch.

Outlook 2011 is not compatible with iCloud, it won't work and your 'workaround' may affect iCloud clients on the same account.
Don't use 2011.

Sync Outlook 2003 with iPhone 3GS and 4

Hello community,
I hope, I've placed my Issue on the right place in this forum.
There're some major issues, where I need some answers. And I really hope, anyone of you can help me to find it.
Requirements:
In our Firm, we use Windows XP SP3 with Office 2002 (except Outlook, we needed to upgrade it to 2003...Don't ask why...). iTunes Versions 10.1 and 10.2 are installed on several computers. (do you need the exact version?)
Problem:
I've read about some problems, synchronize the calendar, using Outlook 2003 and iTunes. Now most of the time, when the customer calls us on our hotline, it's the same problem they're complaning about. The calendar won't synchronize with the iPhone, only the contacts. Now what I found out, it's mostly the series schedule, which isn't working properly. If I put out those schedules, the other "normal" calendar entries are working fine. And then I gotta put every single series schedule into the calendar and synchronize. Then I find out, which entry is corrupt.
We've also tried to delete the synch. history and such, but there wasn't any success.
My question now: Is this problem well known out there? Or am I the only one who got this problem. If it's known, is there any better solution? Is there maybe a patch or an update? Is the Outlook 2007 or higher better for synchronisations?
I hope to get some answers. If there are any further questions, please feel free to ask me.
With kind regards,
PSchmid88

Here's a Possible FIX!!
I ran into the same problem - Not able to Sync Outlook Notes after I upgraded my iPhone OS to 4.0 with iTunes 9.2.
Here's what I did to get that fix (aka to get around it).
I pretty much did all the standard procedure stuff. i.e. reinstalled iTunes, check and uncheck all Outlook related issues on iTunes.
The last thing that I did was to use an IMAP email account to bring Outlook Notes into iPhone.
** Try to do the standard procedures suggest by Apple and other users first. If it doesn't work, try this.
1) Create an IMAP account on your OUTLOOK (I have Outlook 2007).
2) Set up a SAME IMAP account on your iPhone.
3) On your iPhone, you will see two switches (mails and notes), be sure both are "ON".
4) Sync your iPhone and Outlook (be sure to check the "Sync Notes with Outlook" box.
5) As usual, there is no guaranteed it will work the first time, but play around with it.
At least it works for me at last (after 5 hours of struggles).
Apple is not any help at all.

Sync issue with Outlook: Notes and Contacts ok - Calendar stopped syncing

Greetings,
Syncing (via USB cable) between my iPhone 3GS (3.1.2) and Outlook 2003 SP3 (Cal, Contacts, and Notes) has never been an issue until my recent upgrade to iTunes 9.0.2.25. Since then, I noticed that my Calendar was no longer syncing either way. When I hit "Sync", iTunes would indicate that it's going through the motion of syncing calendar but no synchronization of the items take place. Contacts and Notes continue to sync fine. One off behavior is that when I connect my iPhone via USB, I get a pop-up window with "Apple iPhone" header
indicating "Camera connected" with option to pick an app (ie. MS Word) to lauch for this action. Never seen this pop-up. I just cancel out of it.
Few things I did to try to fix the issue, in vain:
1. iTunes->Info->Advanced: forced a "Replace information on this iPhone" - no changes to my calendar
2. iTunes->Edits->Preference->Devices->Reset Sync History - all calendar entries on iPhone are gone
3. "Repair/Reinstall" iTunes by running the install executable
I stopped by the Genius Bar for an appointment related to my battery issue and asked the fellow about my sync issue. He wasn't "aware" of the issue.
Anyone has a suggestion for me to try? Thanks!!!

I tried now several things to resync my data cause it realy s*cks without. I tried to install itunes 9.0.2.25, 9.0.1 and 9.0.0 but nothing helped so far. I also tried to set Outlook 2003 as standard program for mailing (one forum wrote that helps, too) and I tried to find out if something blocks the communication betwen Outlook 2003 and itunes. But nothing could help so far, still no sync.
I find it interesting that when I connect my iphone to my PC an then switch in itunes to the device and the "info" pane where I can setup all my sync data with PIM programs that Outlook still remains there as default synced application. But the subfolder in contacts also the mail accounts that should be synced cannot be seen. The option to force itunes to overwrite the calendar, contacts, notes and mailaccount data on the iphone no matter what can be selected. But when i do the synchronisation all of these options are unmarked again.
Atm I'm thinking of tracing the problem down with Filemon.

Palm pro wont sync with outlook 2003 and windows device manager?

Palm pro wont sync with outlook 2003 and windows device manager? Files e.g. word docs or excel files sync o.k. but i need my contacts and i only get a error that there is sporblem with my desktop computer.
I am using vista and i have all updates installed.
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850U (Unlocked)

Do you have windows mobile device center installed(WMDC)? If not download it from here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx
Be sure you download the correct version for your PC. If you have 32bit OS or 64bit OS. To find this out, right click on Computer under start and select properties. Near the middle it should say 32bit or 64bit. If you know you have the correct software. Open up the control panel and go to sync settings. Right click on the partnership you have setup and select delete. On your device go to Start-->Programs-->Activesync-->Menu-->Options tap on Windows PC and select Delete. Then once both are done resetup your partnership. But this time uncheck everything. Then once it is done syncing. Go to Mobile device settings and change content sync settings and select Contact. Click save and let it sync. Do the same for calendar, tasks, and notes but leave the last item checked. So when Contacts are done syncing you go and check Calendar and leave Contacts

Sync does not copy all contact data from Outlook 2003 to iPhone

I tried syncing my outlook 2003 to iphone. However the data information in outlook such as Work2 / Home2 / Fax 2 , E-mail 2 / etc; & other secondary numbers don't get copied on the iphone. Is there a patch or some other solution to fix this problem.
Also if we enter multiple home or office numbers in a contact in iphone how will outlook react to it.
I am using itunes 7.6.1.

Well lots of writing on the web but i beleive i nailed the problem. Please spread the word further, the solution is (or actually the bug in Sync of iTunes :))
When iTunes developers select which contacts folder to synchronize they do not choose by what Outlook considers to be the main folder, what they do is they sort the list of folders alphabetically and then read the contacs from whichever folder comes first in that sorted list. So make sure that any other contact folder is named with a name that will be sorted out and go in the list after your main contact folder.
Mr. Jobs, i am actually happy to see apple doing this trivial childish mistakes, it means you are still mortal, i was starting to get frightened that apple is helped by mighty forces to us mortals still unknown

Outlook 2003 and Oracle

I have a user running Outlook 2003 and I've just installed the connector (1012 07) and patch 1012 08) but whenever I start Outlook I get a message saying that either the network is down (it isn't) or the server name is misspelled (it isn't either).
Any help?

I have also had the same error - it went away when you use the user name (not login name but the one which is entered in the First / Last fields) for the Calendar setup. For email, you still use the login name.
I'm not sure whether this will help - but you can give it a try

TS1638 cync Outlook 2003 to iPhone 3gs???

how to cync Outlook 2003 to Iphone 3gs??

Don't worry about taking up my time. If I didn't have it, I wouldn't be here on the computer trying to help. You are talking about a contacts folder in Outlook 2003? The address book is when you click on sending a new mail and then click on the To: Am I correct? I think you should try and export your pst file and then try opening the new file in Outlook and see if that will correct things. You might need to go to the Microsoft site to get help in how to import the file. I am using Outlook 2010 and cannot remember the exact commands that would help you. I cannot remember if it is under Tools or somewhere else for you to export the file. It could be under File, then Export if 2003. After you save that file, then go to file and open, and then navigate to the new file and see if that opens a new Outlook pst file for you. You can then try and sync with the new one and see if that works. I hope that helps, but trying to remember all of the commands can be difficult. I teach Microsoft Office and having to remember all of the new ones can be difficult enough!

My mac mail on both the desk top and Iphone is having multiple issues downloading e-mail from my At&t

You can get faster help by posting the Mac OS version you have and more details about your iMac. They have been in continuous productionsince 1998 with four distinct procesor families, and each ahve different troubleshooting steps. If you called a Ford dealer about a car problem, the first thing ithey will ask is "which Ford model and year?" Same deal here.
The processor description is found when you do "About this Mac" and will be a good start for identifying your iMac model; the Mac OSX will be there too.

Outlook calendar synching issues with iPhone

My work Outlook calendar does not seem to be synching up with the calendar on my iPhone. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

In that case the sync is with Exchange, not with Outlook. Both Outlook and the iPhone sync with Exchange, which is the master copy.
Which is more current, Outlook or the iPhone?

Sync calendar and contacts between Outlook 2013 and iPhone 4

I am trying to sync my calendars and contacts between Outlook 2013 (Office 365 Home Premium) and my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.0.4). I have created a confusing mess for myself and do not recognize all of the calendars that appear in Outlook or the iPhone. I
abandoned the use of the iCloud because the iCloud calendar invitations my coworkers received in MS Outlook are too confusing to read.
Is there a proven process for syncing when i add a new contact or calendar event in one device so that it shows up simultaneously in the other? If the process is too laborious, is there an Outlook add-on?
I have tried the Exchange ActiveSync but I can't get this to work smoothly. I can't move recurring calendar events that started in the past. Further, I have to navigate 2 separate data files in outlook to find the right calendar or inbox.
I am not sure if Exchange and Exchange ActiveSync are the same or not.
Additionally, this is a private domain address (my work email).

Hi,
Basically, Exchange ActiveSync and Exchange are two different sets of protocols, but both of them have the feature to sync contacts and calendars between different devices.
If your company provides an Exchange account for you, just setup it in Outlook Client, it will sync the contacts and calendars between clients and the Server.
If you have an Outlook.com(Hotmail) or any other email account that supports Exchange Activesync, just set it up in Outlook, the contacts and calendars will also sync.
As for iPhone, just make sure it also uses the same protocol.
If there's anything wrong with the account sync on PC, rename the current data file to ".old", let Outlook create a new one to sync, or we can create a new profile to setup the account:

Outlook, iPad and iPhone Calendar

Hi guys!
My iPad and iPhone are both synced with my Outlook calendar, so I may keep an eye on all my apointments. However, whenever I have a reminder in Outlook, the Outlook, iPhone and iPad alarms all go on at the same time.
This can be quite cumbersome, deactivating it device by device, Is there a way to deactivate the calendars alarms on the iPad alone, and leave it on iPhone?

I am not talking about the notification alerts from the notification center. I am talking about calndar events with a reminder/alarm that are set in Outlook, and synced with both the iPad and iPhone.
The calendar's alarm iteself will go on, regardless of the notification seetings of the notification center.

After Outlook 2003 to 2007 upgrade, calendar no longer syncs properly

Hi all,
I have a client that I have been troubleshooting iPhone/Outlook problems with and am stumped. After seeing online how many issues there are with Outlook information sync, I have tried everything to no avail so I thought I would ask for outside ideas.
My client had Outlook 2003 operating in an Exchange environment and everything was working perfectly synching his iPhone 3G to contacts and calendars within Outlook. Recently we upgraded to Office 2007. Now his iPhone sync does not update the calendar at all. It seems as though it does sync the old calendar information that was present in Outlook 2003 before the upgrade.
After much troubleshooting, I believe it may have something to do with the old Outlook 2003 calendar. I have tried deleting recurring appointments, backup and restore of the iPhone, and applying all software updates to both iTunes and Office.
When trying a restore of the iPhone, I opted to restore to factory settings and then leave the phone 'blank' and try sync of the calendar alone with the 'Replace all calendar info on the iPhone with Outlook calendar' option enabled. This resulted in a sync that did populate calendar data, but it did not match the data displayed on the calendar in Outlook 2007. It was as though it was synching the old calendar present before the Office suite was upgraded.
Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks for any help!
Cheers.

I am having the same issue and the article you're suggesting only relates to a Mac operating system. Whereas I do own a Mac (Mac Mini & Macbook), this issue is occuring when I'm attempting to sync my iPhone with my calendar & contacts at the office.
I just recently upgraded to Office 2007 from Office 2003 and now when I try to sync, it seems to get stuck during the syncing of contacts. I am just an end user and my company does not support iPhone so there aren't any changes I can make to the exchange server, etc....
Please help!!!! I desperately need access to my updated calendar appointments.

Tour Sync Issues with Outlook 2003 and Error Code 0x8004fceb

Hello, I have a Tour with DM 5.0, which I sync with Outlook 2003 on my laptop running Vista O/S. I am having a problem deleting items from the Tour that I've previously added via a sync with Outlook.
Some time after syncing, I delete the items from Outlook and then re-sync. Instead of deleting from BB, the changes dialog box tells me the items are going to be added from the device to Outlook!!! If I accept changes so that other calendar items will update (from Outlook to BB), Outlook remains fine, but the items do not delete from BB.
Additionally, existing items on BB are duplicated on the BB during sync. In other words, I have ended up with 7 entries for one appointment on the BB even though there's only one in Outlook. This primarily happens with recurring appointments.
Lastly, despite all this confusion, the sync ends with Error Code 0x8004fceb; check documentation, which I cannot locate on blackberry.com.
I am set up for two-way sync, future items only. I even reset to one-way sync from calendar to device to no avail.
Please help.
Thank you.

Sorry. I guess I needed to be clearer I have Office SP 2.
I will tell you that I currently running an older version of iTunes (7.3) because that is the only one that syncs.
In the newest version of iTunes (and of course the current one) it does give me the option to sync with outlook.
