Outlook 2007 Calendar color coding (categories) of appointments and meeting

I synce my new iPhone 4 with Microsoft Outlook 2007 from work. I have all my appointment meetings color coded (categorized) in Outlook. The color coding is not showing up on my iPhone calendar. Why?

Hi,
I did a test on my side: The account in Outlook was an Outlook.com account, I created an appointment in its calendar, gave it a category. Then I logged on the calendar on
https://bay04.calendar.live.com/calendar/calendar.aspx, the appointment was there and I could see the category, but there's no color on it.
Based on what I see, it's probably by design that Outlook.com Calendars don't display category colors, although it already has a category. To confirm this, you can post the question in Outlook.com forum:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com
Since iPad is not a Microsoft product, I'm not sure and can't guarantee if it supports the calendar categories that Outlook supports.

  • Can Outlook 2007 Calendar Appointments sync over the Air

    Hi,
    I have an Iphone 3GS and i wonder if my Outlook 2007 calendar appointments sync over the air as my e-mails do.

    As Chris said, you can use MobileMe which provides other handy features as well. Gmail is a good free alternative see here for one way to import. Then see here for instructions to setup google sync on your iPhone.

  • Outlook 2007 Calendar Appointments have stopped syncing with iPhone 3GS and Vice Versa.

    Outlook 2007 Calendar Appts have stopped syncing with iPhone 3GS and Vice Versa. Only noticed in last month or so. Help required please.
    May have been after an iTunes update.
    Have upgraded to latest version of iTunes and iOS but to no avail.
    Contacts sync OK both ways, it's just Calendar Appointments that don't.
    Any ideas and assistance greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Appointments on the BB Pearl are not entered into the Outlook 2007 Calendar

    The issue that I am having is as follows:
    Calendar entries created on the BlackBerry Pearl are not being entered into the Outlook 2007 calendar. 
    Entries created in the Outlook 2007 calendar are being correctly entered into the BlackBerry Pearl calendar.
    I have made several attempts to fix the issue including:
    Removing and reinstalling the most recent version of the BB Desktop Software.
    Deleting all email accounts but 1, removing and re-sending the service books.
    Resetting the BlackBerry Pearl back to factory default.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated at this point.

  • Problems syncing outlook 2007 calendar and ipod classic

    I did a quick search and found many people with this problem but no solution that worked for me.
    Basically my outlook 2007 calendar has suddenly stopped syncing with my ipod (I'm running Vista 64). Although I can see my calendar in the contacts tab - and there is a progress bar when i sync my ipod for calendars to sync - i cannot view any appointments on my ipod. Contacts from Outlook, however, are still syncing fine.
    I have tried to reset all disabled products on the help menu in outlook but this hasn't worked. Others have suggested that Outlook should be open before trying to sync, this also didn't work.
    Does anyone have any ideas how to sort this out short of manually transferring my appointments to my ipod.
    Not sure if it is of any relevance but my calendar file on my ipod is currently completely empty at the moment.

    After countless hours of restoring the **** ipod I've finally got my calendar back on it. I think what finally did it was backing up my calendar in outlook and then deleting it, syncing the ipod with the new blank outlook calendar and then reloading my backed up calendar in outlook and syncing my ipod again with the calendar. I know there's a lot of folks in the same position I was in so I hope this helps.

  • Outlook 2007 Calendar not syncing any more with Blackberry Bold

    I am looking for possible causes to a problem that started some time over the last 2 weeks. My BB has been running 4.6.0.162 (put out by Rogers, my provider) and I'm using the 4.6 Desktop Manager.
    Until then, whenever I'd sync my BB Bold with my Outlook 2007 Calendar (on Vista), everything (Calendar, Memo, Contacts & Tasks) would sync with no problems.
    Since that time, (although I didn't realize it at first) calendar appointment items that were entered on one side would not be synced on the other side, i.e: BB calendar appointment items would stay on the BB, Outlook 2007 calendar appointment items would stay on the PC. Everything else syncs OK. In fact, new tasks that have a due date will be added to the other side's calendar with no problems!
    I've tried different things, including rebooting both sides, deleting the calendar file on the BB, etc., but to no avail.  
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!
    Thanks.

  • ITunes 11 is not syncing my Outlook 2007 calendar on my iPhone 5 on a Windows 7 PC

    ITunes 11 is not syncing my Outlook 2007 calendar on my iPhone 5 on a Windows 7 PC.
    I have tried a number of things such as:
    Repairing the outlook.pst file with scan pst.exe. This did not work.
    Uninstalling all apple software on the PC and then reinstalling it. This did not work.
    Turning addins off and on in outlook. This did not work.
    Changing outlook.pst files. This did not work.
    Replacing iPhone content with content on PCM. This did not work.
    Restoring the iPhone does not work.
    Nothing works.
    I have been working on this issue for a couple of days. It is driving me crazy. I am inches from formatting my hard drive.
    Everything worked fine until the most recent iTunes update.

    Same here. Spent about an hour trying various solutions to similar problems on other forums before discovering this one, which matches my symptoms exactly. iPad doesn't have this issue, only iPhone 4S.
    My iTunes Match renews in two days. This is about the umpteenth disappointment with the service. I almost certainly won't be renewing now.

  • Outlook 2007 Calendar Reminders Still Making Sound on IPhone

    I recently got an Iphone, and synch to my Outlook 2007 calendar. Although I set the Calendar Reminder (can't remember exactly what it's called) in the iphone 'Settings' to 'Off', my iphone still makes a sound when a reminder is generated by Outlook. Do you know how to turn this off without muting the entire phone?

    Picked up my iPhone last Friday and am running into the same trouble syncing iPhone with Outlook calendar. Calendar Sound Setting is off, but unless phone is on silent mode, the calendar alerts remain audible. Met with Mac Genius and was advised to restore iPhone, which I did. However, this did not fix the problem.
    Perhaps try restoring your iPhone through iTunes and see if you have more luck. Make sure you have all iPhone data backed up on your computer, as it will erase all data and media.

  • Can't sync Outlook 2007 Calendar on iPhone 3G, iOS 4, iTunes 9.2, WindowsXP

    I did upgrade my iPhone 3G to iOS 4.0 and iTunes to 9.2. Now I can’t sync Outlook 2007 calendar. Contacts and notes are ok.
    I did try to sync on Windows XP SP3 and Vista SP2. I was unable to sync calendar on both computers.
    I had this problem before with iTunes 9x. I was able to fix it creating a new PST file and copying all folders to this new file.
    Now with iOS 4.x and iTunes 9.2 it doesn’t work. I did uninstall iTunes, clear the Windows registry, and delete all Apple folders. I also downloaded again iTunes and install it from zero. It didn’t work at all.
    I also uncheck, check, recheck the Advanced options in iTunes to delete, doesn’t synchronize calendars, and contacts on iPhone… nothing works.
    What else can I do to fix this pain? Any suggestion?
    Daniel

    Same problem here. Just bought an iPhone 3GS, downloaded iTunes 9.2 and it crashes my Outlook 2007. Outlook simply stops responding, and I have to kill it. Won't even start in Safe Mode. I have to restart the computer to revive it. Next time I start iTunes -- CRASH!
    I bought the iPhone because I wanted to sych my emails, calendars and notes. Do I have to return the iPhone now?

  • Microsoft C++ Runtime Error when synching Q5 to Outlook 2007 calendar

    Attempting to synch my Q5 to Outlook 2007 calendar I get an error message that states: <Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
    Runtime Error!
    Program:ResearchinMotion\BlackberryLlink\BlackBerryLink.exe. The app has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the app's support team for more info.>
    I am running Windows XP and Office Professional 2007.
    I have had the phone for more than a year and only recently has this problem developed. I have uninstalled BlackBerryLink from my programs and my downloads and re-installed it 3 times. Each time I attempt to synch it takes 19-22 minutes "Getting status information from BlackBerry Calendar " before the the error message appears. I have checked and the only calendars synching are Home and BBLink.
    @BlackBerryHelp sent me to a knowledge base article blck.by/1wEvCts  on Lotus Notes even after I explained 3 times that I was using Outlook not Lotus Notes. Then they told me to contact "Windows".
    So far I have missed 1 very important meeting because the appointment was not in my phone. Please help! I love my BB Q5 and I REALLY need my calendars to synch!!!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Options are limited.  If you call Microsoft at 1 (800) 642-7676 I think they will tell you the same thing.  I'm not sure what to suggest since Windows XP is no longer supported and that runtime could be out of date.

  • Outlook 2007 calendar

    Has anyone else noticed that Saint Patrick's day is showing as Monday March 16, instead of the correct Tuesday, March 17th in Outlook 2007 Calendar?

    Thank you for your feedback.
    Could you please provide us the log files?
    1. Here are the instructions for attaching log files:
    - Open Nokia Ovi Suite 3.0.0.284
    - Enable log gathering by double-clicking the enable_logs.js file in installation folder C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Ovi Suite
    - Click the button to start enabling the logs when prompted by the dialogue
    - Click the button to confirm the "Logs are enabled" dialogue
    - Exit Nokia Ovi Suite from File - Exit. This is mandatory! Closing NOS to system tray is not enough!
    - Open Nokia Ovi Suite again
    - Try to reproduce the error you are reporting
    - If the error still exists, double click the collect_logs.js file in installation folder C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Ovi Suite
    - Click the button to start collecting the logs when prompted by the dialogue
    - Click the button to confirm the "Logs collect & zip finished" dialogue
    - Attach the NOS2_logs.zip file in C:\Temp\NOS2 folder and screenshots in the error reporting form
    - Go to your %TEMP% folder, which can be found by entering %TEMP% to the Windows Explorer's address bar. Then search debug_log_date.txt in this folder, where date is the current date (or choose the latest one) and attach also this file in the error reporting form. The exact %TEMP% folder paths are:
    In XP: C:\Documents and settings\your_username\LocalSettings\Temp\
    In Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\Temp\
    - Disable log gathering by double-clicking the disable_logs.js file in installation folder C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Ovi Suite
    - Click the button to start disabling the logs when prompted by the dialogue
    - Click the button to confirm the "Logs are disabled" dialogue
    You can send these log files, system information details to [email protected] mailbox.

  • Outlook 2007 calendar entries appear in iPhone calendar as invites

    Has anyone found a solution to the problem of new entries into my own PC Outlook 2007 calendar (on a university server, not on the hard drive itself), transferred via Microsoft Exchange to my 2.0 iPhone appearing as 'invitations' instead of simply calendar entries? These can't be edited or modified, just accepted, declined or maybe'd. Entries made on the iPhone calendar sync to the Outlook calendar normally, as simple events, not invitations.
    I've seen comments about case sensitivity of the log-in ID but mine is simply my lower case initials on both systems.
    I spoke to an Apple product specialist -- nice but clueless on this issue.
    Any discoveries to share?

    Hi!
    Sorry If I'm hijacking your thread, but I believe we and another company are having similar issues... It appears sometimes (but not always) a meeting will be accepted on the iPhone, appear on the Calendar but never sync back to the server. The acceptance request on the Outlook side shows "This meeting is not on the Calendar. It has been moved or deleted". If viewing this message on the iPhone, it IS on the Calendar. If viewing in Outlook, it IS NOT. Hope I made that clear??? This is possible to have the reverse where a meeting is accepted in Outlook but doesn't appear on the iPhone. For us (and a buddy with similar Exchange config) this is intermittent and cannot be easily duplicated as most meetings are handled properly. This is effecting multiple users but the only common thread is they all have iPhones running Exchange ActiveSync.
    We've already tried different release versions, wiping the device, all the basic stuff. Log files on the Exchange server are clear (no errors).
    As far as we can tell, this started happening (or was first noticed) about 3 weeks ago. Nothing has been changed on the server side of things...
    Just hoping for some insight, suggestions, or positive thoughts...
    TIA!

  • Sync Outlook 2007 Calendar

    In the Outlook contacts, when you put the birthday on "John" contact it automatically creates a entry on calendar with the name "John's Birhday".
    Now when you sync your outlook 2007 calendar with iphone, those "john's Birthday" entries does not appear on IPhone.
    Does anyone knows why ?

    I am so angry with Apple I could scream!
    I bought the first iPhone the day it came out and spent a month, and more hours than I care to remember, working with the Apple technicians before they finally got the phone to synch with Outlook, as it was advertised to do.
    Apple does not adequately test their products, especially software, before shipping it. We got the phones the same day at their technical support people.
    And now with the new 2.0 software release, the SAME PROBLEM is back!!! The same frustrated users trying to get the product to work as advertised with the same software bugs!!
    I currently on hold waiting to ask the technical support people to let me download the old software until they fix the bugs and get this working.
    I love this phone, but I will never buy another Apple product or download another Apple software program without waiting for months for the early adopters to spend all of their free time debugging Apple products for them.
    BTW, the problem for most of us caused by the inability for the iTunes add in to load in Outlook. In Outlook 2007 go to : Tools : Trust Center : Addins . There should be an iTunes add in that allows the programs to sync.
