Outlook 2010, iCloud, Calendar, iPhone synch: not working together.

Everything had been working fine: My iPhone calendar events were synching with my Outlook Calendar and visa versa. Then a couple of days ago it seemed to stop. My iPhone wasn't synching with my Outlook. So what do I do? I look on the web to see if there is something about the problem. I read that it could be caused by the need for my iphone to have the latest update. I was using OS 6 and there was OS 6.1 available. I decided to go ahead and update the iphone.
Well, that killed the iphone. The screen when blue and then the apple symbol showed up on the computer and it just hung there. It was like it was trying to load and just not loading. I had no phone for the day. I was 4 hours from the closet Apple store, and after work headed off to the Apple Store.
When I arrived (40 min before they were set to close) they were very nice and took my phone and got it back up and running. The problem was that what ever they did killed all my pics and other info on my iphone (music...). But the Calendar seemed to be working. So I thanked them and trundled off to the hotel.
At the hotel I plugged my iphone into the computer and then it poped up saying that I could restore my phone from itunes! Yea!! So I did it.
Well... that killed the calendar again. So there was a bug or something goinng on between the icloud and iphone and Outlook, I think... I'm not sure but I think that had to be the case. I say I'm not sure because I hadn't checked to see if my Outlook clendar was updating and pushing those updates to my iphone through the icloud calendar. But I think that had stopped.
So again, a second day without a calendar. I had a phone so at least that wasn't too bad.
I made an appoointment at the San Antonio Northstar Mall Apple store location. Let me tell you what... these guys here are very friendly (especially Levi, great guy). And now I'm sitting here (for three hours) trying to get this resolved. Mind you many people would say "Hey that's taking a long time!" but remember folks we aren't paying these people to help us. True I'd be willing to pay but we're not... so relax.
Anyhoo... I finally got the Outlook Calendar to find the Icloud Calendar but it's still not synching up. I signed out and have signed back in and am hopeing that this resolves the loss of the calendar on Outlook.
I'll report more later.

I agree. I posted about this about a month ago and the only answer I got was that perhaps it was the way which google was choosing to handle the functionality. I think the feature where you can click on an address in your Google Calendar (and it should work on your Iphone Calendar as well), and it comes up in the Iphone Maps application, is completely necessary, as the map in safari is basically worthless. I had previously bragged about this feature, and now it's gone?! BRING IT BACK!

Outlook 2010 "Send Plain text only" not working for individual contacts

We have a Outlook 2010/Exchange 2007 environment
If you go to Outlook Properties of a contact and change from "Let Outlook decide the best sending format" to "Send Plain text only", it is supposed to force Outlook to send a Plain text
email
to that contact.
But it is still sending HTML. This is happening with any contact I try this with.
While composing the email I can change it to Plain text manually and that works fine.
Not sure what gives...

Hi,
I recommend that you check the global remote domain setting if set to send plain text.
If not , the remote domain setting will override the change of the contact's properties when sending email out.
More details refer to the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232174(v=exchg.141).aspx
Remote domain settings Remote domains define the settings for outgoing message transfers between the Exchange 2010 organization and domains outside the Active Directory forest. Even if you don't create remote domain entries
for specific domains, there's a predefined remote domain named Default that applies to all remote address spaces (*).
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Outlook 2010 paste from other programs not working.

Hi,
Win 7 SP1 x86 w latest patches. Win lang. ENG
Outlook 2010 SP1 x86 w latest patches. Office lang. ENG
Regional (date/time and so on) settings EE (Estonia)
I have about 6 users with same conditions.
When I'm trying to copy - paste from other programs like IE9, Word, Excel I'm unable to paste into Outlook message body.
It just wont paste.
Typically, Outlook shows me "thniking circle" for a millisecond or rarely just hangs.
There are some exceptions:
1. I'm able to paste into To: field
2. I'm able to paste into Subject: field
3. I'm able to paste even into body if I copied text from Notepad.
4. I'm able to paste into body when I copied text from another email.
Additional information:
Outlook default message format "Plain text" (Rich text, HTML - does'nt matter)
What I'v tried so far and results:
1. Repair Office installation trough "Programs and features" - NO LUCK
2. Changed default paste behaviour from other programs to "keep text only" - NO LUCK
3. Used SAFE MODE - this helps, paste SEEMS WORKING correctly. Based on my knowledge, SAFE mode mainly disables Add-ins. OK.
Disabled all Add-ins in normal mode so Outlook shows that "No Active Application Add-Ins" - NO LUCK
So, I'm out of ideas. I think that this problem starts after installing Office 2010 SP1
I don't want to uninstall SP1 because for me it's not a solution (SP1 won't dissapear from the list of updates), ok.. agree, it may be
temporary solution but at the end of the day, there must be something else.
Any ideas?

Rename normailemail.dotm to .old when Outlook is closed and see if it works now.
You can find the file here;

Thanx, NormalEmail.dotm did not do anything for me but the renaming the Normal.dotm in the same folder did the trick for me. I can paste links again into outlook :)

Google Calendar maps and iPhone maps not working together anymore

For several months I was accessing google calendar through Safari. I was able to click on the map link and it would take me to the iPhone maps. About a week ago it started to take me to Google mobile map page, which is not integrated into anything on the iPhone maps such as that GPS thingy which is kind of useful. Anyone have any thoughts on how I can get this to go back?
I did the upgrade to 2.2 already and no changes.

I agree. I posted about this about a month ago and the only answer I got was that perhaps it was the way which google was choosing to handle the functionality. I think the feature where you can click on an address in your Google Calendar (and it should work on your Iphone Calendar as well), and it comes up in the Iphone Maps application, is completely necessary, as the map in safari is basically worthless.

Outlook 2010 IMAP connection problem and not work with TLS enabled

Dear all,
Need your help. 5 users of my customer Outlook 2010 suddenly popped error message "Your IMAP server closed the connection". We checked that there is no problem in IMAP connection in Exchange 2007 server (SP3) (we tested with setup new
account in another Outlook and able to connect, send and receive email).
We are able to workaround the problem of that 5 users by disabling TLS in account setting for SMTP to Exchange. The users can then connect and able to send and receive. (however, in our testing above, there is no problem with TLS).
Could you help to enlighten me what may be the cause of this situation?
Best Regards,
Rayson Wong

Hi,
Please click File > Account Settings > Account Settings > Select the IMAP account and click
Change > More Settings button > Advanced tab, and then adjust the
Server Timeouts slider bar to a longer time to check the result.
Also make sure the SMTP server port number is set correctly.
Please let me know the result.

My itunes and iphone are not working together. all my software is up to date. what i can do? i need to manage my phone!!

I'm getting extremely frustrated with my iphone and mac.
i have the iphone 4, and the mac is leopard.
I plugged my phone it to manage my music, and a message popped up saying i needed software 10.6.8 or higher.
so i downloaded the 10.7. it's still not working!
i have very little space left on my phone and i need to manage everything.
what do i do??
someone please help!!!!

We need clarification here.
Please don't just state version numbers, also state which software. iTunes 10.7 requires OSX 10.6.8 or higher. Leopard is OSX 10.5.8. You have two alternatives right now. One is to stay with Leopard for a while (ultimately you should upgrade) and install iTunes 10.6.3 which is the last version to work with Leopard. This should work with iOS6 on an iPhone4. The other is to call Apple and order OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and upgrade the computer to 10.6.8 which will allow you to run iTunes 10.7. The caveat is we know nothing about which computer you run and if it even can run any system higher than Leopard.
Here is iTunes 10.6.3
iTunes 10.6.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
If you want to try upgrading:
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About this Mac" and "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present). If it says something about Intel or Core Duo or Core 2 Duo in the processor you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (assuming you have sufficient RAM/"memory"). If it says PPC or PowerMac, you cannot.
Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store.
It would help when posting issues here if you would state exact error messages you see. "It's still not working!" while a description of the situation does not speed us to a diagnosis of the underlying issue.

HT1296 How do I sync (again) Outlook to my old IPhone? not working anymore

Having trouble syncing my Outlook calendar to my old IPhone.....has worked in the past in both directions, but no anymore

iOS info is in the Settings>About section of the phone. iTunes info is in Help>About. What version of the iPhone are you using? However that version of Outlook is not supported anymore. That would probably answer your question.

Outlook 2010 - Contacts 'Show' category buttons not working?

I use the Business Card view for Contacts. When I double-click a Contact, Outlook should display that contacts' details. Instead it is displaying an email history from that contact. I have used the 'Activities' button to display activities related to that
contact , but now when I click on the General button to default back to the normal view it doesn't work? In fact, none of the buttons in the 'Show' category work (General, Details, etc.) It seems to be stuck on the 'Activities' button? I tried running a fix
on MS Office by running the fix program from Control Panel, Programs, Change, MS Office, Fix, but it didn't work. Can anyone help me?

Hi,
First, please try to start Outlook with /cleanviews switch to check if this problem was caused by corrupted view. To do this, press Windows key + R, type
outlook.exe /cleanviews in the Run command box and press Enter.
In addition, we can start Outlook in safe mode to check the result. Type
outlook.exe /safe in the Run box and press Enter. If the issue would be gone in safe mode, we can go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable suspicious add-ins to resolve the problem.
Please let me know the result.
Hope this helps.

My work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud, so I hard sync. But then the new info on my iPhone does not backup to iCloud. Is there a solution?

I have a Macbook and iPhone and like to back up to iCloud. However, my work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud. The company has no plans to update anytime soon. Since the calendar and contact list on my office computer are my primay ones, I hard sync through iTunes. The problem is that any data synced from Outlook 2003 to the iPhone from iTunes does NOT later backup to iCloud. Is there a solution?

I have the same problem with Outlook 2003 and Win XP which the multinational organisation I work for standardises on and will probably stay with forever!

I purchased a new Windows 8 PC. I have used and continue to use Outlook 2010 for my calendar. With my old Windows 7 PC and Outlook 2010, my calendar sinked properly with my Iphone 5. Now with the new Windows 8 PC, it does not. Help!

I purchased a new Windows 8 PC and I use Outlook 2010 for my calendar. With my old Windows 7 PC and Outlook 2010, my calendar would sync with my Iphone 5, but with the new Windows 8 PC and Outlook 2010, it does not, and I can't figure out how to snyc them. The emails from Outlook 2010 sync, but the calendar does not. Help! Thanks.

Easy solution for restoring lost calendar informaiton, thank goodness. On your iPhone, go to settings, then to iCloud. If your Calendar selection is turned off, turn it on. Your info should restore. If your Calendar selection is turned on, then turn it off. Choose to save calendars when asked. After it shuts the Calendar off, turn it back on. Your info should be restored.
Thank you to Apple support for walking me through this. Shame on you Apple for not just telling people about this easy fix rather than making us go through all of this pain and worry.

Synch Outlook 2010 diary with iphone 4 - was fine, now calendar gone!

I've just updated to Outlook 2010, and my iphone now won't sync with Outlook calendar, now wiped its entire contents so no diary at all on iphone! It goes thru the motions, but nothing is there. Fine and dandy in my Outlook on the pc. Daren't try synch with my ipad in case the same happens. Any bright ideas please. Frustrated of Hove

I'm on a 4S IOS 7.1 won't show my Google Calendar I have about 8 that should be showing. FIXED!!
I'm posting this here because your answers didn't help with my particular problem but aimed me in the right direction. so maybe this will help someone else.
------------------------------ This is what I tried ------------------------------
At the bottom of the calendar app click Calendars there should be a check to the left of your calendar. (my calendars weren't even listed here)
The google.com/calendar/iphoneselect solution. (mine was checked correctly)
Google 2-step verification (I even turned this on to see if it would help)
Deleting all accounts “Settings – Mail,Contacts,Calendars – Accounts” and starting over
------------------------------ My Solution ------------------------------
Since I deleted all my accounts already this is what worked I don't know why.
Under “Settings – Mail,Contacts,Calendars – Accounts”
I added my google account “add account” “Google”... so on. Calendar was selected.
I added a second account “add account” “other” (at bottom) scroll down to “add CalDav Account” under calendars.
Server= www.google.com
user name = your email
password = your password
description = whatever
Calendar was selected.
Then I went to “Settings – Mail,Contacts,Calendars – Accounts” and down towards the bottom I clicked “default calendar” and set it.
I hope this helps

IPhone 4S Outlook 2010 shared Calendar problem

Hello all,
There problem to see in Outlook 2010 shared calendar in iPhone 4S. In iPhone 4S there is seen owner calendar of added Exchange Server account, but I need to see other one person shared calendar which is impossible to see. I see in iPhone 4S two calendars as added, but when I open calendar I see entries only for one account.
Where is problem and how to solve it?
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Girts

I had the same problem where I could open a shared calendar in OWA but it would not work in Outlook 2010. When I clicked on the shared folder I got the error message 'outlook cannot open this folder'. The problem ended up being that the person
whose calendar was being shared was hidden on the exchange server ('hide from exchange address lists' had been selected). To resolve the issue we had to unhide the user, update the OAB on the server and then update the OAB on the desktop. We could then share
the calendar, accept the share and then hide the user again.
Sounds like I have the same issue too. Where do I go to do all the resolve part? Where do I unhide the user? I am guessing OAB means offline address book.
Thanks
Paul

Icloud manage storage link not working on my iphone 4s

I need to manage my icloud storage, but the manage storage link on my iphone is not working. When I click on it, nothing happens. Can anyone help with this problem? I don't want to buy more storage if I can turn off some of my apps in icloud. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks!

Had the same problem recently (on an iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1). The phone couldn't back up to iCloud as the storage limit had been exceeded, and tapping "Manage Storage" in the iCloud settings didn't work: it just briefly showed a spinning wheel but I couldn't enter the Manage Storage screen. Looks like a bug.
In the end I was able to solve it via the iCloud settings on a laptop. Using this route, I removed the backup that was clogging the available 5GB free storage and was able to access Manage Storage again to tweak the settings. In my case this meant disabling iCloud backups of photos in the camera roll, which was the reason for the large size of the backup file in the first place.
Here's what I did:
1. Important step: first of all, make a backup of your phone in iTunes by connecting it to the computer and chosing the backup option in iTunes. You will delete the iCloud backup in step 3, so it's best to have another backup handy. It's not very likely your phone will crash in the short time it takes to complete these steps, but better safe than sorry.
2. After making the full phone backup, I downloaded all the photos from the camera roll onto my computer and deleted them from the phone. There are different ways of doing this, on a Mac you can for instance use Image Capture. This step is not really necessary to get the backups working again as you will probably disable camera roll backups in step 3 anyway, but it's good to get into the habit of backing up photos on the computer regularly, rather than in iCloud. If you want to keep some photos on the phone as well, you can always copy them back from the computer onto the phone.
3. Access iCloud storage management via the computer rather than the iPhone. Instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847 > Backup > Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your device > Mac OS X (or Windows 8, Windows 7 and Vista). If you use a Windows computer and the iCloud control panel hasn't been installed yet, you can find it here http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html.
I don't think you can delete specific elements like the camera roll from the backup this way, you have to delete the whole thing. But you made another backup in step 1 so this isn't really a problem.
4. On the iPhone, try to access Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage again - it should work now. In the next screen, choose your iPhone and you will get the Backup Options where you can switch backups on and off for different apps. It shows you how much storage each app takes, you will probably see that the Camera Roll is the largest so you may want to switch that off. Once you're happy with the settings, go back two screens to Storage & Backup and switch Icloud Backup back on (it was automatically switched off in step 3), and if you are on Wi-Fi, tap Back Up Now so it makes a new iCloud backup right away.
That's all, hope it solves your problem.

When I accept meetings in outlook 2010 on my Iphone it does not send my acceptance to the requestee. How do i fix this

When I accept meetings in outlook 2010 on my Iphone it does not send my acceptance to the requestee. How do i fix this

Outlook 2010 is an email client that runs on a PC. It does not run on an iPhone at all.
Is this a corporate email account? What did your IT department say when you went to them about the problem?
The ability to correctly process meeting requests when using an Exchange server depends on the version of Exchange your organization is running. It has nothing to do with what mail client you use on your PC.
