Native Contacts and Calendar Issues

I can't seem to find my way around this. When I set up an appointment using the PlayBook Local calendar I can't send an invite to other attendees, I receive a message saying the account does not have an associated email account. I have a Gmail and Hotmail account connected to my PlayBook so I'm unsure what it's asking for. When I set an appointment using my gmail account I don't even have an attendee option. The other issue is that when I accept a Facebook event it doesn't recognize the other attendees as people in my contacts. This means they may show up as a person I'm meeting that day but if I select them I can't see any future meetings. After changing my FaceBook email from an old address to my current email I no longer can see any FaceBook events on my PlayBook, which is even more frustrating than the other issues.
With the native contacts app I put in my own information and my 2 email accounts and LinkedIn accout were all recognized and linked, however my Facebook and Twitter acounts were not found. Furthermore, I can not add those accounts to my contact card manually. I've had similar issues not being able to manually add a LinkedIn account to a contacts information. Is this a glitch or something I'm doing wrong?

Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac sync Contacts and Calendar issues

OK, so I have a Macbook Pro with OS X Mountian Lion. I have Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac installed. Asked @BlackberryHelp on Twitter how to sync my Blackberry Torch with Outlook as it seems to default to using the builtin Apple Contacts and Calendar instead of Outlook. So they sent me the link to KB19148: "How to synchronize organizer data in Microsoft Office for Mac between the BlackBerry smartphone and a Mac computer using BlackBerry Desktop Software". So I turned on the Sync Services in Outlook and it gave me the dialog box confirming that everything was synced. And it appeared to copy and sync whatever Contacts in the Apple Contacts and calendar entries in the Apple Calendar into Outlook and vice versa. Cool since that's what I wanted.
Then I tried using the Blackberry Desktop Manager to sync everything to my Blackberry Torch 9810. Everything looked like it synced until I opened my Blackberry and all my Contacts were gone. Same with my Calendar entries, except that the Calender entries were hit and miss to whatever copied over (some Calendar entries were missing and others were duplicates). Checked the Apple Contacts and all of them were gone. But when I opened Outlook, everything was there and all OK.
So am I missing something? Turning on Sync Services in Outlook should sync all my Contacts and Calendar with my Blackberry when I use Blackberry Desktop Manager, correct? So why is it still syncing with the Apple Contacts and Calendar (and why did it delete all my Apple Contacts and mess up my Apple Calendar)?
Good thing I backed everything up first so restored everything. But I have all my updated Contacts and Calendar in Outlook and I still need to sync all of that. I don't want to manually do it. So how do I fix this??

After a bit of googling I think you mean the notation "domain\username", i.e., a backslash separator but no leading backslash.
I am not familiar with that notation but apparently it is valid in some contexts. I googled "os x "domain\username"" to confirm this notation. Here's one of the hits that shows the notation:
OS X Lion: Guidelines for connecting to a DFS namespace via SMB
I think "DFS" is a distributed file system. That's as much as I know about this.

Issue with Contacts and Calendar on my wife's iCloud account

Hi everyone,
My wife and I have both apple IDs that we used with MobileMe. I can access mail, contacts, calendar etc on icloud.com after transfering from mobileme, but my wife only sees email. No contacts or Calendar there. She has all in her iPod Touch under her ID, and we have them all in both our Macbook Pro and iMac.
Any idea how/why the contacts and calendar does not show up on hers? We share all data, so I have no idea why one would have them while the other doesn't. Maybe because I was the first one to sign up for mobileme? I don't know.
I searched the forum but couldn't find anyone with the same issue... many with apple IDs, but nothing like this.
Thanks for your help!
David

Hi David,
I am experiencing something similar... I moved mobileme to icloud, after completion I thought everything was ok, but now after one hour all my contacts have disappeard... trying to look what's going on

Sync data between third-party contacts and calendar apps, and the native apps, in 10.9.3+?

I've had to refrain from updating my Mac Pro from 10.8.5 to 10.9 owing to the removal of SyncServices. I then read that SyncServices was re-introduced on a limited basis in 10.9.3.
It seems unlikely, but I'd like to know whether or not SyncServices in 10.9.3 re-enables the syncing of data between third-party contacts & calendar apps and the native apps, and thereby enables syncing of contacts and calendar info between third-party apps and iOS devices over USB via iTunes. This is the method I use exclusively by choice in 10.8.5, and I will not change it to a cloud-based solution under any circumstances.
If it is not possible, is there a third-party workaround? My calendar app on the Mac Pro at the moment is BusyCal, syncing with Week Cal on the iPhone, but I'll happily buy a new combo of apps if it means I can upgrade to Mavericks and retain USB syncing.
EDIT: a solution which permits syncing of a third-party calendar app on the Mac Pro with a third-party calendar app on the iPhone over an ad-hoc wireless network would also be acceptable, I suppose.

Well, that's pretty disappointing. I guess Apple believes Internet is free and everywhere.

How do I use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?

We are attempting to use SharePoint 2010 in combination with Exchange 2010 to implement shared calendars and contact lists throughout our organization. We are able to connect the lists to Outlook 2010, but have been unsuccessful in viewing
the calendars and contact lists from our mobile phones. How do we use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?
In trying to answer this question, we have come across a few different possibilities, all of them falling just short of a long term solution for us. After doing research, we found that Active Sync will only show the default folders of the account. To
solve this, we downloaded an Add-In for Outlook (CodeTwo FolderSync) to synchronize folders and synchronized our SharePoint list with a new Contact list in the default folder. The issue we came across with this method is that the Add-In we are using
is not capable of automatic synchronization. There is a button and it must be clicked after every update is made, which is not ideal for our solution. We then went to the company (CodeTwo) and found server side software (Exchange Sync) that they
offer which will automatically synchronize the folders. After installing that on the Exchange Server, we now are running into the issue of not being able to locate the SharePoint lists on the Exchange Server.
Does anyone happen to know how we can get to the SharePoint lists from the Exchange Server? Has anyone else been able to use shared contacts lists and calendars from SharePoint on their mobile phones using Active Sync? If so, are we in the right
direction with what we have found so far?
Thanks,
Brad

You cannot use ActiveSync for that, but there are SharePoint clients for the iPhone. Windows Mobile 7 natively supports SharePoint with SharePoint Workspace Mobile, part of Microsoft Office Mobile. Android and BlackBerry might also have some apps.

Contacts and calendar events disappearing and reappearing

I have three issues, two of which I think are related.
1.
My contacts disappear on my iPhone 3G. I am set up with MobileMe to auto sync and I don't know if that is getting screwed up somehow? The contact are on my Mac lap top when I go look (thank goodness), and I force a sync and they transfer to my phone fine. This has happened twice now. I have copied my contacts as vCards and saved that file in the downloads folder just in case they get lost on both my laptop and my iPhone - I also do a regular full laptop backup to my Time Machine - is there anything else I should be doing to back up my contact and calendar data?
2. (possibly related to 1.)
When I am looking at my iCal in the weekly view on my laptop, sometimes several of my appointments are not visible. It is only when I try to put an appointment in that is at the same time as the invisible ones that they suddenly reappear.
3. One of my contacts will not sync from my iPhone to my lap top? It used to be in both places but for some reason it is now only on my iPhone and even when I sync, it doesn't come into my laptop Address Book.
Help please!!!

i am having what i think is a very similar problem in that my Exchange (you seem to use only mobileme) contacts partially disappear. i discover this when i check my sms message list and find that many messages show only the phone number when earlier the name was there. a check of the contacts list shows that some have disappeared.
i restarted the phone and checked immediately but it was still gone but after a few minutes they came back.
my theory is that something is going on with messy exchange server syncs with my iphone that could be causing the process to break midway but after a while the phone automatically syncs again.
this issue appears quite rarely for me but enough to be noticed and to be annoying.

"contacts and calendars cannot be synced" I just want my music, I already have contacts and calendars.

I got an iPhone 5c a little under a month ago, and haven't been able to put music on it since then. iTunes keeps trying to sync contacts and calendars, which I already have in place on the phone (via iCloud). However, when my I plugged my moms brand new 5c up to put music on it, it worked perfectly! I've compared our settings, and everything is the same. Please tell me what to do! I have the latest updates on both devices, and iTunes.

With my fingers crossed I uninstalled the updated iTunes that led to the problem. Then went to the iTunes.com site to download the full version. After the install was finished I connected the iPod and it detected and synced the iPod without any further issues. I don't get the error, Contacts and calendars cannot be synced on the iPod "%1$S", any more.

I can't set up contacts and calendar for iCloud on my PC

I'm trying to set up iCloud so it'll sync my Mail, Contacts, and Calendar & Tasks between my Windo. However, the iCloud Control Panel won't let me set up the Contacts and Calendar & Tasks. When setting up, it asks me to shut down Outlook (which I do). Then it tells me that I need to restart Outlook with Mail enabled and that I need to add my iCloud account in order to add Contacts and Calendar & Tasks. I have no idea what the former means. I have added my iCloud account although what I REALLY want to sync is the Contacts and Calendar data from the e-mail I use Outlook for (which is also my Apple ID). I have Outlook 2010. Any idea why I'm getting this message and how I can set up iCloud?

Hi there bakingcountrygirl2011!
I have a couple of articles here that should help you get iCloud set up on your Windows machine. The first is about activating iCloud mail in Outlook, and can be found below:
iCloud: Set up iCloud Mail on your devices and computers
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2621
And here are the steps you need to follow:
Set up iCloud Mail on Microsoft Outlook 2010 or Microsoft Outlook 2007
Open the iCloud Control Panel, select (to turn on) the Mail, Contacts, Calendars, & Tasks checkbox, then click Apply.
To open the iCloud Control Panel in Windows 8, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, then click iCloud Control Panel on the left.
To open the iCloud Control Panel in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
Your iCloud Mail account is displayed in the left column of Microsoft Outlook.
To view your iCloud Mail account in Microsoft Outlook, click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iCloud email account.
If you are still having issues with your contacts after following the instructions in that article, you will want to see this article, about troubleshooting sync issues with your iCloud contacts:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998
You will also probably want to pay special attention to this particular part of that article:
Ensure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook.
For Outlook 2010, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active:
Open Outlook 2010.
Click the File menu.
Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins," and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed
For Outlook 2007, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active
Open Outlook 2007
From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
Select Add-ins from the left column.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins," and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
For additional information about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook, see this Microsoft support document.
Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

HT1296 When syncing to ipod and ipad i get duplicate contacts and calendar events

Probllems syncing contacts and calendare events. I get dups and triplicates

How are you syncing? Are you syncing through itunes, icloud or both? Most issues come from syncing the same data/content from more than one source.

Contacts and Calendar not syncing

I know everyone is having issues with calendar and outlook but I am having an issue with contacts and calendar. Anyone else having an issue with both.

I sync'd my iphone and lost all my contacts, in the phone and in my address book on my mac. You are not the only one.
Hopefully someone can help to get my information back.

Contacts and calendar showing double - because of MobileMe?

I got mobile me and the contacts and calendar updated wirelessly as expected, however the last time I plugged in my iPhone to my computer, the iPhone synced with all information (contacts, calendar, itunes, photos, etc.) and now both my contacts and calendars are showing double on my iPhone. Is there a way to fix this?
the calendars show two boxes on my iPhone: "From my Mac" and another "(email)(Mobile Me)". I assume this is why there are duplicates, however I do not know how to delete or get rid of it. I thought Mobile Me would simply update information from the Mac, not add to it.
The contacts have the same two boxes and show all my groups of contacts twice.
Am I not supposed to sync with my mac now that I have mobile me? How do I get rid of these duplicates now?
Thank you,
Kim

Contacts and calendar won't sync to iphone

So I just updated to 2.1, and then let the iphone sync. I noticed that changes that I made on iCal were not syncing to my iPhone, so I checked the boxes at the bottom of the info scree that said "replace information" for contacts and calendar. All of my contacts and calendars then disappeared from my iPhone, and I was flashed the "inconsistencies in your sync..." message. I had seen this message a couple days ago when I edited somethings on iCal but I didn't think anything of it.
So with no contacts or calendars I tried resyncing to no avail. I have restored the iPhone twice and still I get that dialogue box, and no contacts or calendar events synched to my iPhone.
Please help me...I don't know why this is happening.

yup, tried that to no avail. I made a new user account and the syncing works fine on that account but still doesn't work on my original account. Its not an iphone issue, but a user issue. I've been on the phone with apple care and they have no idea right now how to fix this. I will update if anything gets fixed. All help is welcome...thanks.

Blackberry Z10 will no longer Sync and Sympatico Contacts and calendar have disappeared

Two weeks ago my sympatico email stopped on my blackberry. The email was uninstalled and reinstalled and the contacts and calendar disappeared and the phone stopped synconizing . When the email is loaded on another Z10 the contacts and calendar come in. The issue appears to have happened after an update.Restoring the phone to factory settings did not help. I can get all other emails to load including contacts and email. Does anyone have a solution other than getting rid of this phone.
Sympatico does not appear to be an issue as I can load the email on other blackberry devices and have loaded it on another Z10 with no issue.
I have made called to Blackberry and they keep pushing me back to Bell but based on the tests above it seems to be a Blackberry issue not sure how to resolve and frustrated.

Two thoughts.
When you did the factory reset the wise thing to have done would be add the email and test before restoring and reinstalling apps. If the problem is corrupt settings or data, you might end up restoring the problem. Testing beforehand gives you an whether or not the stock software install is ok.
If you didn't test with clean device, I would do a security wipe or repeat the reset to factory and test.
If you did test on clean device, then I would do a clean OS install, and test.
In my opinion the issue is software, one way or the other. You may want to go straight to clean OS install.

IPhone will not synch contacts and calendar with Outlook after upgrade to 4

I have been using an ACT! database on a PC for years, synching to Outlook with CompanionLink, and synching my iPhone to Outlook. After upgrading my iPhone to 4.0, I can no longer synch my contacts and calendar from Outlook. It "goes through the motions," appearing to be synching. But in the end, nothing changes. I have reloaded iTunes. The problem is between Outlook and the phone (the synch from ACT! to Outlook is fine).

I'm having the same issue. Upgraded my 3G to OS4 which wiped out my contacts from the phone. I also use CompanionLink (Express) to sync ATC with Outlook and iTunes and the phone. Have spent hours/days on the phone with second level Apple tech support to no avail. CompanionLink IS syncing with Outlook but Outlook isn't syncing with the phone. Have tried syncing to Outlook directly (without CompanionLink) but no good result. Tried syncing through MobilMe. Can sync all Outlook contacts from my computer to me.com through MobileMe but does not sync with the phone. Tech support suggested trying to sync fewer contacts at a time as their might be a problem with the contacts file. DID manage to get 4000 of my 5600 contacts back in but can't get any more in. Previously had NO problem syncin all contacts directly and through CompanionLink. VERY frustrating.
Also, I use Outlook Express for email. Since installing MobileMe I get an error message saying that Outlook isn't my default mail handler and I need to change the settings to make it the default mail handler. I DO NOT have "sync mail" checked as I'm not trying to sync my email accounts...only contacts and calendars. Made Outlook the default mail handler which stops the error message but still can't sync the contacts and I want to keep Outlook Express for email.
