Outlook Calendar Not Synching

Hello,
This has been an ongoing problem with the iPhone. Some of the calendar items synch (at least some of the one time occurrence items) and almost consistenly none of the recurring items seem to synch.
We have tried deleting an event and then recreating it (shut down Outlook and reboot was done too) to no avail.
We have looked over the article at this URL:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305845
Followed all of its instructions and still have the same problem. Been working on this now for almost 6 hours with researches, updates, reboots, etc.
What in the world is going on with this synch issue? Feel like its time to bill M$ and Apple for my time as a business person. This unit may work just fine for young kids for music, videos and what not, but it does not seem to be ready for prime time for the business community.
We do have Outlook 2003, Windows XP SP2, iPhone Version 1.1.1, and iTunes version 7.4.3.1., 1 GB of RAM, 120GB HD, Acer Laptop that isn't even one year old.
Anyone have any luck with this issue since it seems to have its own article link and discussion?
Thanks.

Hello,
I was going through the postings and found an answer to the Synch problem that I sbelieve needs to be spread around since so many others have the same problem with Outlook.
If you think about it and are familiar with database and indexes, it makes all the sense in the world.
Here are the procedures, which I think needs to include going through the response from Apple mentioned earlier in this discussion. You can read the details directly at this discussion topic:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1123329&start=0&tstart=15
====================================
Export your outlook calendar as a comma seperated value csv and import it back in - reboot - problem solved!
go to File
Import and Export
Export to a file
Comma seperated values (windows)
Select folder to export from (Calendar)
name it calendar
save it to your desktop so you can find it
now import it back in
File
Import and Export
Import from another program or file
Comma seperated values (windows)
Replace duplicates
Finish by closing outlook
Close iTunes
remove phone from cradle
reboot computer
open iTunes
Place iphone in cradle
Voila!!!!
====================================
It worked for me after having all this trouble for almost a month now.
Hope it helps others.

  • Icloud calendar and outlook calendar not synching

    husband accidentally deleted my icloud.  downloaded again but now my outlook calendar will not sync with my either my iphone or icloud calendars.  I already tried resending the invitation to my emails but it says I can't join calendars that I'm sharing.

  • Google calendar not synching

    Hi
    I have a Bold 9900. 7.1 software. BIS. GiffGaff (part of O2) service provider.
    I have several google accounts and have been running the emails and calenders off the BB very well for several years now. I use Goolge 2 step authentication.
    I recently changed the passwords on my google accounts. Since then I have been getting emails from BIS saying 'Calendar events have stopped being syncronized between mygoogle account and your BlackBerry device.' It then goes on to tell me to go into my email settings and check the sycronisation. I do this, no change.
    So far I have tried:
    deleting and re-entering accounts
    sending service books
    I also see a similar issue reported on this long post:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-​Bold/Google-calendar-not-synching/td-p/1706561
    Among other things I see that I could perhaps trying deleing the accounts again then clearing the calendar entries via the desktop software before re-entering the accounts. However, I can see that this did not work for the person at the centre of the thread whose problem sounds like mine.
    I also see that he had contact with RIM directly and that they solved his problem. Not sure how I would go about this and whether it would cost me.
    Can anyone shed any light on any of this? Does the password change detail give a clue??
    Soooo frustrating as it worked perfectly for years. 
    All help appreciated!

    Caldav and Carddav is all that Google supports, along with IMAP email. I haven't used a Bold in two years so don't recall the setup procedure for caldav and carddav on the Bold. If there's no caldav or carddav then you can't sync. BB10 has both of those.
    It's not an issue that BB can correct. It's a feature that Google removed.

  • Blackberry calendar not synching with Outlook

    Hi guys,
    We did 2 upgrades and now some black calendar are not synching naymore with outlook.
    Here's our setting
    We had Blackberry Enterprise server professionnal 4.0.17 or something like that we upgraded to Blackberry server Express 5.0.3 MR 1 (Bundle 19) for Exchange server
    we had Microsoft Exchange 2003 and we upgraded to 2010
    Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Version 14.1.218.15 with service pack installed Update Rollup 5 SP1 and Update Rollup 4-V2 SP1
    The issue is with some Blackberry device when you add something to the Black Calendar it's not showing up into Outlook calendar.
    I tried to removed every cical ligne into the services book and resend the service book from the blackberry server, had no luck
    I tried these steps :
    On the BlackBerry smartphone, open the Calendar application.
    Click the Menu button and click Options.
    Set the Wireless Synchronization option to No.
    Click the Menu button and click Save.
    Set the Wireless Synchronization option to Yes.
    Click the Menu button and click Save. Turning wireless calendar synchronization on and off will reset the calendar database on the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Create a calendar entry in Microsoft Outlook and verify that the entry wirelessly synchronizes to the BlackBerry smartphone.
    no luck too..
    I don't know where to look at now have you any hint or clues

    Hello guys,
    here's some new information I tried / double checked...
    I make sure that Options > Advanced Options > Default Service > is set to Desktop no facebook or something else configured on the device
    I'm thinking of doing this.
    we can try a forced reload. Before proceeding you need to be
    aware that these steps will erase the device calendar and load a fresh copy from the server. On the device open the Calendar > press menu > Select Options >
    Type RSET (nothing will appear as you type) > Then when prompted select Yes to erase the device Calendar and load a fresh copy from the server.
    this would really be my last option because our employees that are having the synch issue had added some important stuff into their calendar related to their job and this information is only available on the blackberry calendar...
    thanks for any advice you have about this issue.

  • Bridge Calendar not synching with device - missing entries

    Since the upgrade to OS 2 I have noticed that the calendar does not synch properly.  There are entries on the device (and outlook) that don't appear at all in the bridge calendar.  What is more strange is that sometimes some of them  do...but when the page refreshes (say from waking from sleep) they have disappeared again!
    I have updated bridge on both the device (Bold 9780) and the playbook, but no difference.
    All the various calendar entries (desktop, gmail etc.) are properly checked off in the device bridge options list.
    Starting this as a new thread as I see a number of others have raised the same question some time ago but without resolution...so here's hoping!
    Seriously, any help would be much appreciated.  It's a pain not being able to rely 100% that the info in the playbook calendar is correct.

    Hi Aandras.
    I do have multiple calendars, but turning them off and just having the desktop doesn't seem to help.
    I did download the bridge update.
    Funny thing is that events appear in different views.  For example I have an all day event for Friday that appears in the daily view but not the weekly.  Also, the event seems to be there but invisible.  I had an event from 1500 to 1800 on Thursday, visible on my BB but not on the PB.  I then created a new appointment at 1700 on the PB.  The PB reports a conflict with a previous appointment...which is not visible!
    Let me see what happens next week!

  • Outlook 2007 not synching

  • Outlook Email not synching with handheld

    I just set up my new BB handheld and even set up hotmai on outlook on my PC at home, so I could synch contacts, calendar and emails more diligently than an internet web browser based email... but my emails are not synching!! arrgggh its painful to keep cleaning out inbox 2 times and also have FB messages going to my hotmail bec FB on my handheld is not showing me new messages.. pls help!!!

    Hello,
    If you configured your BB to receive email OTA, then there is no direct relationship between your BB and your Outlook client for email. Rather, each will reconcile independently against the email server according to whatever capabilities they have to do so. The BB reconciliation capabilities will be governed by this KB. Outlook reconciliation capabilities will be governed by Outlook.
    For your FB issue, check inside of the FB options and make sure that you have checked the box that connects it to your BB Messages app.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Help Calendar Not Synching Mobileme

    Hi Anyone,
    I need help. I got over excited when the 3G came out and got one straight away, the 1st gen was smooth no probs, this one is lets just say different.
    Does anyone know where I can find a solid step by step tutorial on synchronising the Mobileme with Outlook (2007) and my iPhone? Just so I understand everything correctly, when I make changes to my outlook calendar, its supposed to sych with Mobileme and push that info down to my iphone right?
    This doesn't happen, also battery life is useless and I've seen comments on here about it saying switch everything off and it will get better, that seems to defeat the object of having the phone doesn't it?
    All help most appreciated
    thanks

    I have an iPhone and and iPad (iOS 6) and a mac (moutain lion). I have problems syncing my calendars between these devices. I think the problem started when I configured my new MBP in 10.8
    Specifically:
    a) I do no get error messages on iOS devices by the idevices'calendars do not sync with the mac's (even all of the three are set to use the icloud calendar on the same account)
    b) on the mac, I get a error message when syncing "could not create event because of a server error" or something similar
    c) on the mac, after connecting to icloud.com is safari, I see that my iCloud calendar is almost empty. I try to create an event, and I get a message "cannot create event because of a server error". I tried diconnecting and reconnecting to icloud.com several times, and the same thing happened again and again. I sent the report to Apple each time
    Everything worked fine before I stated using iCloud. Syncing through USB was long but it worked. Now this does not work anymore.
    To be honest, i would be happy to come back to the snow leopard situation when my computer was still personal.

  • Treo 700wx calendar not synching

    Hi, I am using a Treo 700wx and have been using it to synch with Exchange for a year successfully.  I recently had a problem that resulted in a hard reset of my phone so I had to reset up the Active Synch options.  Everything but my calendar is re-synching successfully but even though the calendar is 'checked' for synching, it is not synching and it appears that NO calendar entries have been set.  Would appreciate any advice!  Thanks.
    Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Sprint)

    Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums.  It sounds like there is probably a problem with the eas profile on your device.  Go into the profile, start-programs-activesync-menu-options.  Uncheck all boxes, for the exchange profile, then sync.  Once the sync is complete go back into the profile and sync calendar only and test, if successfull then add 1 box at a time sync and test to insure data is moving.  I also assume you are syncing wirelessly not thru the cable.

  • 2007 Outlook Calendar not sharing all events when saving it as iCal and sending to an iphone

    Found a way to sharing Outlook Calendar to an iPhone without syncing. I save the calendar as iCal format and then send it to the person to open it on his smart phone. He opens the file, adds them to his calendar, and can see only certain events, not all
    of the ones i can see on my computer. Before i started working here, there were 2 other calendars i had to merge so i can have just one. All the items I've added, show up (appointments, calls, etc.) but the ones that were done before me are not showing up
    like birthday reminders once i share them.
    What am i missing???

    Hi RPMM,
    According to the description, I suggest double checking whether we select the "Full details" instead of other options. Pic as below:
    I have tested on my Outlook 2013 + Exchange 2013, it works well.
    There is no limitations of the save as ICS feature in Exchange 2013 server. It seems an issue on the Outlook 2013 client side.
    Since Exchange Online is different from Exchange 2013 server, if this issue related to Exchange Online server side, I suggest creating a new thread on the Exchange Online Forum so that we can get more professional suggestions.
    For your convenience:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/msonline/en-US/home?forum=onlineservicesexchange
    If it still not works unfortunately, I suggest exporting the calendar into .pst file for testing as a workaround.
    Hope it is helpful
    Thanks

  • Shared Outlook Calendars not showing up on my phone

    I have an Outlook Calendar that works on my Samsung Galaxy S4, but I have 2 other outlook calendars that are shared with me on the same account that I can not seem to get to show up on my phone.   How do I get the shared outlook calendars to show up with my own calendar?

    Actually, the accounts can not be added as they are not my accounts.   These are two members of my family who have their own outlook accounts.   They “shared” their calendars with me so that I can see them.   I want to see them on my Samsung Galaxy S4 but I can’t.   I can see them on my laptop and I could see them on my iPhone but when I changed to the Samsung, I can’t see them.   There has got to be a way to see them.

  • Mail for Exchange – Outlook calendar not 100% comp...

    I’m using MfE 2.09.158 on my E71, and everything works fine except for a small issue/annoyance. If I add a memo on my phone’s calendar, it will appear as a meeting from 0.00 to 23.59 in my outlook calendar. On the other hand, if I add a full day entry in Outlook, it will appear as a 0.00 to 23.59 meeting on my phone.The annoying thing about this is that a full day (or multi day event) will not show up on the start screen of the phone, but a memo will. (Current meetings are not shown on the phone’s start screen; only in the calendar itself.)I’ve just started to use MfE, and earlier I used PC Suite to sync between Outlook and my phone. A full day (or multi day) entry on Outlook would appear as a memo in my phone’s calendar.
    I know that there are more serious issues with MfE, but I hope that the MfE team can keep this in mind for future fixes.
    Cheers,
    M

    And to reply to my own thread…
    I just tested RoadSync, and RoadSync does exactly what I’m asking for here. Full day appointments in Outlook shows up as memos on my phone, etc. I guess I can buy RoadSync, which seems to be working better, but I’m cheap and I don’t want to pay $50 for something I can get for free with MfE.

  • HT1386 Outlook calendar not syncing from laptop to iPhone 4S

    Since I updated iTunes the last time, it no longer syncs my Outlook calendar entries from my laptop to my iPhone 4S. I have uninstalled all Apple software and reinstalled, and it hasn't solved the problem.

  • Outlook 2003 not synching calendar

    Everytime I try to synch my calendar I get the following message:-
    OutlookSyncClient has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    I have read the other posts, and I've re-installed iTunes, and checked that the iTunes Outlook Addin is checked, but to no avail.
    I tried reverting back to iTunes 7.5 but that didn't work either, so I went back to the latest release.
    I've also tried resetting the sync history, which also hasn't worked?
    Does anyone think Apple will fix this anytime soon? I use the iPhone as a PIM, and right now its useless in that regard. I'm synchronizing only my calendar (work PC - Microsoft exchange). Everything else is synch'd using my mac at home.
    Seemed to work fine before the recent 7.6.1 upgrade.

    Ok. I eventually worked out how this exchange server thing works, but it's still not fixed my issues.
    I understand now, that an OST file exists on my local machine, and that periodically gets synchronized with the exchange server.
    I have run the SCANOST tool on my machine, and let it do everything, not just my calendar.
    So I should now have a functional local OST file. I have no PST files. i.e. I don't have any local archives etc. and iTunes only has "Sync Calendars with : Outlook", there are no multiple calendars to chose from... so its All Calendars only.
    So I try to synchronize my iPhone, and it still crashes with the "OutlookSyncClient has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    I really am stumped now. I can't see how I can get this to work. One might say... I have a syncing feeling. (except its not syncing...)
    Come on Apple... This used to work.

  • Contacts and Calendar not synching. (Centro, Windows XP, Palm Desktop 6.2.2) Please help!

    I originally posted on the Hotsync forum, and it was suggested that I post my question here.  Important information:  My office uses Microsoft Outlook Exchange, and I have my Centro set up to get my emails.  It also wants to sync my contacts and calendar; however, that is completely unneeded for my purposes.  I need to synch my Contacts and Calendar with my Palm Desktop.  If there is something I have to check or uncheck to do so, please tell me how.
    This is my original post:
    "When I hotsynch, my memopad, my documents to go, everything seems to synch except my contacts and calendar.
    After a few hours on the phone with tech support at sprint, we went for the nuclear option, hard reset, and the temporarily solved the problem, but now it has returned.
    Information that might be important:
    I'm getting a failed to backup 1 file error>PmTraceDatabase>Protocol Error: Handheld file could not be opened (4004)>SYNCERR_FILE_NOT_OPEN.  This may or may not be relevent.
    Anyway, I appreciate any help with this.  I depend on this PDA phone to keep me organized and there's a slight and embarrasing touch of panic to how I feel now that it is not working correctly."
    Post relates to: VisorPhone

    Okay, I'm continuing to do research on this, and here's my suspicion, maybe true or maybe false.  When I set up versamail to get mail from my office's exchange server, it also configured my contact list and calendar to sync as well, and synching with the the exchange server and synching with my desktop software are mutually exclusive.
    If this IS true, then hopefully there is a way to set it up so I synch my email only with the exchange server, and leave my contact list and calendar configured to synch with my desktop software.
    Any feedback or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
