Outlook 2013 Calendar lacks color options for months and "Today"?

Am I missing settings in Outlook 2013 that would allow me to color months different/alternating colors and brightly highlight "Today", specifically in the Month view for the calendar?  I see I can change the color of the overall calendar,
but that does nothing to address my problems.  
Background: The month view for the calendar in Outlook 2010 was wonderfully glance-able. The current month had one color background, and the bordering months had a different color, allowing you to easily see the months.  Also, "Today" was brightly
highlighted in light yellow, making it easy to discern which day on the calendar was the current day.  As far as I can see in Outlook 2013, these are both now missing.  Months are all the same color, making it hard to scroll through and keep any
sense of what's being presented visually.  Today is denoted by a tiny blue bar that blends into all the blue bars of uncategorized appointments, again making it much harder to find than it should be.  If there is no option to change the highlighting,
Outlook has taken a huge step back in usability in my eyes.

I found a good way of highlighting today's appointments in weekly and monthly view using conditional formatting:
. go to Edit - Automatic Formatting
. click Add
. in the Name field enter "Today"
. in the Label field choose a color
. click on Condition...
. on Appointments and Meetings tab where it says Time:
. choose "starts"
. choose "today"
. click OK
. click OK
While not ideal, that sounds like a decent hack to highlight today, provided I have an appointment.
However, in trying to put into practice, it's picking up all of my reoccurring appointments that are set to reoccur with no end by date, and it's not picking up the reoccurring appointments that have a defined end by date that it should be getting highlighted
(as they occur today).  
Even using the advanced filter to require the "Start" be "today" and the "End" be "today" it still highlights the same wrong appointments.  And unless I'm misunderstanding the logic, the "Recurrence Range End" field flag appears to be broken, as I _still_
get  the same behavior by setting the condition to "exists" (apparently a setting of "No End Date" puts some sort of data into the field).

  • Appointment Details are not shown in Outlook 2013 Calendar Schedule View

    In Outlook 2013 Calendar one has got five standard views to view appointments and meetings:
    Day, Work Week, Week, Month and Schedule view.
    When hovering with the mouse over an appointment the details are shown in Day, Work Week, Week and Month view but
    not in Schedule view.
    Is there any configuration setting to turn this feature on in Schedule view?
    Remarks:
    - In Outlook 2010 this problem does not occur.
    - Within the scheduling assistant, the details are shown in Outlook 2013 when hovering with the mouse.

    Hi,
    I tested on my Outlook 2013 and got the same result. When hovering over an appointment, the details are shown in Day, Work Week, Week, Month, but it's not shown in Schedule View.
    I haven't found such a setting to change this, it seems to be a product limitation so far.

  • Outlook 2013 calendar does not sync with iphone5

    All of a sudden, I am unable to sync Outlook 2013 calendar with my iphone5. It had been working just fine and I do not recall making any changes. Any ideas what to look for and how to fix this? I am running Outlook 2013 under Windows 8 Pro, my iPhone 5 is ios 6.1.3, and iTunes is 11.0.2.26.

    Exchange calendar became disconnected and did not sync for no reason at all. The solution - on your iPhone, go to Settings, Mail/Contact/Calendars, scroll to the bottom and set Exchange as your Default Account. Then do a test event on both tour iPhone and in Outlook and confirm it is working. Good luck - one word, patience.

  • Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!  SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

    The issue:  Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! 
    SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
    The cause:  It is now clear what caused this problem.  For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.).  In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour  events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event.  I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
    The symptom:  Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes.  I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious. 
    The failed attempts:  I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance.  From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012.  Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other.  Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious.  MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things.  We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
    The fix:  After 18 months of frustration, MANY  hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync  problem and it indicated all day events were related.  I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events,  sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
    After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync.  It synced for the first time in 18 months! 
    Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

    Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
    It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
    Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
        Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
        Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
        Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
        Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
    End Sub
    Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
        For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
            If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
                objFolders.Remove( i )
            Else
                If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                    Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
                End If
            End If
        Next i
    End Sub

  • Outlook 2013 Calendar syncing with Blackberry Q10 error

    Hi, i am facing a big challenge while syncing the Outlook 2013 calendar with blackberry Q10 through Blackberry Link Software.
    When syncing to BB, I get sync error "The following reoccurring event could not be synced: 13-Oct-14 - MD Mtg with Mgmt. Remove the event and sync again". The error refers to an event for a particular date. Practically, there is no such event in
    outlook for that particular date.
    I have tried syncing other calendars from the same outlook file successfully but failing to do with that particular calendar. I have also tried to sync the same calendar from outlook 2010 from different OS without any success. I am running Windows 7 - 64bit
    OS.
    I am running all latest updated patches from Microsoft and Blackberry for both OS.
    This calendar is very important as it has more than 3000 event entries.
    Please help me to resolve the same at earliest since the issue seems to be in particular Outlook 2013 calendar file. I suppose there could be some hidden entry for that particular date which is causing syncing to fail.
    Kindly let me know if you require any further information.

    Hi,
    This generaly means there is a problem with the indicated event, which cannot be sync'd to BlackBerry. You have to delete it before resyncing the calendar.
    If the entry does not appear for the date mentioned in the message, it may be located on one of the historic dates according to the recurrence pattern.
    Or you can use the tool of MFCMAPI to delete a hiden or corrupted calendar event:

  • Cannot sync Outlook 2013 calendar with Windows 8 phone

    I recently bought a Nokia Lumia 1320 with Windows 8. I have tried to sync the calendar app with my Outlook 2013 calendar (on a Windows 8.1 PC).<o:p></o:p>
    I have created a Hotmail account on Outlook and converted my original Outlook calendar to a list before copying it to the Hotmail calendar account, as instructed on various MS web pages (I cannot
    enter hyperlinks here, your genius web site won't let me), but nothing appears on my phone.  It was actually MUCH easier to sync with my previous Android phone and an iPad - so much for seamless Windows connections.<o:p></o:p>
    After wasting many, many hours I noticed that if I
    manually enter an appointment in the Hotmail calendar (in Outlook), then it
    appears in the phone (and vice versa).  However it does not appear for events that I have mass-copied over to the Hotmail account, including recurring events.  This flies in the face of what the instructions say.  There are far too many future
    events for me to re-type, along with the danger that I might miss some.  Why doesn't the mass copy (only of future, recurring and
    active events) work?<o:p></o:p>
    I have wasted way too much time on this and am beginning to deeply regret buying a Windows phone. Any help would be gratefully accepted.

    Thanks for replying, Mike. I have set up two accounts on the phone, one is my 'normal' email account (non-Microsoft) and the other is my Hotmail account, which appears in Email + Accounts as 'Microsoft Account'.  I am now at work (in Australia) and
    don't have the phone with me, so I can't be sure of the exact words.
    Anyway with the MS account there is only one check box - Email.  In my endless trawling through the web I read somewhere that this 'primary' account automatically syncs the Calendar and Contacts, so the additional check boxes are considered redundant
    (which seems pretty dumb - a user might not WANT to sync them).
    I also set up an additional Hotmail account, which appeared as 'Hotmail 2', and this did have the sync Calendar and Contacts check boxes, but it will wouldn't do the job.  I tried deleting the 'primary' account so I could use the secondary account instead
    (and force the syncing through those check boxes), but it would not let me.

    you still have the option (before your warranty expires) of purchasing an AppleCare Protection Plan, which will provide an additional two years of coverage. Once your warranty expires, you will no longer have the option of purchasing AppleCare.
