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!

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?

How to sync outlook 2007 calendar with Iphone 4?

How do I sync my outlook 2007 calendar with my iphone 4? It used to happen, now it won't work. Thank you.

Howdy there Connie,
If your Outlook 2007 is still not syncing to your phone I would like to recommend the following article to help you troubleshoot the Sync Services between your the two devices, named:
Troubleshooting Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010
First backup your data, THEN proceed with the articles troubleshooting step by step until it is resolved:
Back up your data
Refer to this Microsoft article for steps to back up the data in your PST file used by Microsoft Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Outlook 2007. This Microsoft article explains where the Microsoft Outlook 2010 data files are located.
For information about backing up the data in your OST file, contact your Exchange Administrator. Your OST file should be on the server and backed up when the server is backed up.
Before troubleshooting, it is recommended that you make a copy of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch backup in a safe place. For more information about where to find the backup and what information it contains, refer to About backups.

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

May have been after an iTunes update.

Any ideas and assistance greatly appreciated.

Issues Synching Outlook 2007 Calendar to iPhone

I am unable to Synch Outlook 2007 Calendar with my iPhone. On the other hand, all my Contacts are fine.

I just discovered that I have TWO Calendars: Default Calendar and Main_Calendar from my Outlook 2003 migration. It is only Synching the Default one but not the one in use Main_Calendar even when the option is set to Synch ALL calendars in iTunes.

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.

My Outlook 2007 Calendar stopped syncing with my iCloud Calendar

My iCloud Calendar no longer syncs with my Outlook 2007 Calendar. When someone sends me a mobileme invite it shows up in my Outlook but not my iCloud. When I click refresh iCloud, it doesn't. What do I do?

I upgraded to 8.1.1 and thought this might have solved a problem, but the syncing between outlook.com and the IOS device is not robust, and can be broken pretty easily.
Here is a repeatable problem that causes the syncing to stop if there are 2 outlook.com calendars being synced with an IOS device:
1) Reconfigure Outlook.com Account on IOS device. This downloads all existing outlook.com calendar entries and starts clean.
2) Create "appointment 1" in "calendar 1" on outlook.com (This will sync with Ipad without a problem)
3) Create "appointment 2" in "calendar 2" on Ipad (This will sync with outlook.com without a problem)
4) Edit "appointment 1" on Ipad to switch it from "calendar 1" to "calendar 2".
The appointment will NOT switch on outlook.com, and all syncing between outlook.com and the IOS calendar appears to stop after this. There may be other edits/changes that would cause this problem, or perhaps the syncing would just stop on its own anyway.
This is a pretty desirable workflow/process. (i.e. Person 1/Calendar 1 switches responsibility for an appointment to Person2/Calendar2.... or... Person 1/Calendar 1 makes an appointment on the IPAD, and then later wants to modify it when they are at their PC.

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.

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 doesn't sync!

Hi, can't sync Outlook 2007 calendar with my 120gb. Contacts-sync is OK but no calendar!!?? Tried to disable Add-Ins, but still the same. Any help??? Thx

This problem probably exists because you're using work Outlook connected to an Exchange server. In that case contacts sync but for whatever reason your calendar won't.
Here's the Apple Support fine-print on that....
This sure seems like something Apple should make a lot clearer on their mobile me marketing materials....
Symptoms
In the MobileMe Control Panel for Windows' Sync tab, you may not be able to select calendars to sync with MobileMe (the Calendars selection appears dimmed, or "grayed out").
Products Affected
MobileMe
Resolution
This can occur if:
* Microsoft Outlook is not installed: Calendar syncing is only supported for Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007. If you do not have either of these installed in Windows, Calendar syncing with MobileMe is not available.
* *Outlook is installed but connected to a Microsoft Exchange Server, and MobileMe Control Panel 1.2 or later is installed. If Outlook is connected to Exchange, Calendar syncing with MobileMe is not available. For more information about MobileMe and Exchange syncing, see this article.*
If Outlook is installed and is not connected to an Exchange Server, but Calendars is still dimmed:
1. Close the MobileMe Control Panel
2. Open Outlook
3. Quit Outlook
4. Open the MobileMe Control Panel and try again
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, restart your PC, and Calendars should then be selectable from the MobileMe Control Panel.

Outlook 2007 calendar events font changes after syncing with iTunes

I use Outlook 2007 on a Windows XP PC. I have no problems syncing Outlook calendar events with my iPhone 4 other than for one highly annoying detail. My default font in Outlook is set to Times New Roman 12 pt. Whenever I sync, all of my calendar events' text in Outlook is changed from Times New Roman 12 pt. to Calibri 11 pt., and sometimes more recently, to Arial 10 pt.
It's driving me nuts as I find Calibri to be hideous-looking. In addition to the font change, all other special formatting such as bold and italics are removed.
Has anyone experienced this before or know what's going on? Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Has no one experienced this issue? I can't understand why this happening. It's been almost two months since I posted this.
To reiterate: After syncing with iTunes (the newest version), all custom text formatting in Outlook 2007 calendar events are changed to Calibri 11 point, and sometimes more recently, to Arial 10 point. My default font is set to Times New Roman 12 point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Syncing with Outlook 2007 Calendar

Hi All,
I guess that there have been loads of topics raised against this subject. If anyone can help ....
iPhone 3GS (4.1 loaded) with iTunes 10 - attempting to sync with Outlook 2007 calendar on Windows XP. Getting the following error :com.apple.Outlook.client.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.
No problems (so far) with Contacts.
Help please !

Just got my first iPhone a few days ago. I use it to sync to Outlook 2007. The first few syncs went fine, but now changes in either the Outlook Calendar or the Calendar App are not synced to the other. The sync completes without problem (or success).
I guess I'm not the only one having this problem, which is worrying. Even more worrying is the fact that no one seems to be able to resolve this. If it's broken, tell us, and let us know when it's going to be fixed. The fact that we're being ignored is extremely poor...
There's also no documentation I can find about where to look for logs for possible errors, what else might be happening.
