Outlook Calendar to iPhone Syncing Issue - Event Alerts

When my outlook calendar events sync to my iphone 4, the event gives me an alert 15 minutes before the event.  I checked, and there is no alert set on my outlook calendar, and on the iphone I have set the default alert to none for calendar events.  Why would the synced event give me a 15 minute alert, when I created the event in outlook to not alert me?

Craig:
Very odd - what kind of system are you running?
Mac or PC?
When I first got my iPhone 3Gs about 18 months ago I was having trouble with the sync-ing of calendars and found that events that DID repeat "forever" were the problem. After changing them to only repeat for (say) one year's worth of time (weekly meetings) or about 10 years (annual events) everything worked OK.
It appeared that if there were too many entries that the sync. broke. For example I have one uncle born in 1912 (yeah he's seen a few things in his life...) and his birthday would not sync at all until I lied and said he was born in 1972 (other dates might have worked also I just lost motiviation for trying to pin-point the problem -- I had a support case open with Apple but they were never able to explain the behavior .... just that (after I figured it out) "ummm yeah, that's the way it works" ....

  • IPhone - Sync issue with Calendar and Outlook 2003

    I have been syncing with no problem up to yesterday - now I can't sync my Calendar with my PC. It doesn't make any difference whether I make an entry in iPhone or Outlook. I have reset sync history in iTunes - no change.
    The only thing that I can think of that I did out of the ordinary was to copy and paste my contacts into another contacts group in Outlook.
    It would appear to be a problem with Outlook as the iPhone syncs with iCal and Address book on my G4 laptop.
    Appreciate your help.

    Outlook is definately a problem. Ive been at it for a couple of days going through this thread and others. Still not syncing.
    What Apple has to realize is that windows people have different microsoft offices, i use 2000 because the schedule is shared between everyone, this is an addon in newer copys of office.
    When i make a call or recieve a call i would like to see an option to add the caller to the schedule .. When your on the phone with the caller you can just hit a button and it brings you right to the calendar and enters the caller in the schedule where ever you place them.
    Anyway i will keep at the sync thing for a while and see what happens. Nothing so far. l8r

  • Just want to sync Outlook calendar and Iphone without paying extra $$

    I am currently using Mobile Me trial membership to sync my Outlook Calendar and Iphone calendar. Just that only -- I don't want to sync my Outlook e-mail or contacts with my phone. But I don't want to pay $99 for for Mobile Me after the free trial runs out in October.
    Will I have to pay to sync?
    I need to sync them a couple times a day, it has to be secure, and I don't want to do it manually with a wire.
    Any advice?

    Jon,
    I could connect the cord and sync each night, but that's too difficult to remember.
    That's how I did it for a year with the first iPhone. It wasn't that bad.
    Still, over the air synching is pretty cool, especially if you update your calendar throughout the day and always want the latest information on the phone.

  • Outlook Calendar has stopped syncing. All else works fine

    Hi everyone,
    I'm completely baffled!!
    I use Outlook on my PC and, up until recently, it's synced perfectly with my iPhone 3G. Now, for a reason I can't find, the Outlook Calendar has stopped syncing. All my Contacts and Notes continue to sync perfectly fine from Outlook however.
    I've checked my iTunes (latest version) and iPhone (latest O.S.) settings and all the right boxes seem to be ticked, so I'm completely stumped why this should be happening.
    I set up a Google Calendar as a double-check and that's syncing without an issue.
    Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This can happen when an event in Outlook becomes corrupt. You can narrow it done by checking sync only the last "X" number of days in sync settings. Example start with week then five, then three days and see if problem goes away. Also if you remember around the time this started you can narrow it down sometimes.
    Otherwise:
    1. Export your items into CSV format.
    2. Delete all items in Outlook calendar
    3. Import CSV file back into Outlook*
    *this will not bring back reoccurring event info. You will need to set this back up.

  • What happened to the outlook calendar option for syncing?

    I have downloaded the 6.0.1 iOS and now my outlook calendar is not syncing to my phone.  When I have my phone connected to iTunes and look under Info it says that my calendars are being synced iwth my iPhone ovver the air from iCloud.  I thought I had an option to select Outlook like I do for mail accounts.  What do I do?

    On your phone, go to Settings>iCloud, and turn off iCloud for anything you want to sync with Outlook.

  • I can sync with my outlook calendar, but cannot sync with contacts or e-mail.

    I can sync with my outlook calendar, but cannot sync with contacts or e-mail.  When I click on Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars it doesn't open and reverts to the home page.  When I try to open Mail I get an error message saying "Cannot get mail.  The user name or password for Gmail is incorrect".  If I press "settings" it reverts to home page.  I was revised to restore settings which I have now done, but the problem has not been resolved. Can anyone help?
    i do have a gmail account and may have used this when I first set up itunes/ipad (I'm new to Apple).  However, I want to synchronize with my Microsoft Exchange account.

    It may be a bit late for your needs, but there's a sync product for Outlook (an add-in) that will sync public and private folders/calendars.  Once you have your items in a mailbox folder, the regular ios sync will bring it to your device.  It's called Add2Outlook, it's made by DidItBetter.com Software.
    It syncs private and public, mailboxes and folders in any direction.  One-way, two-way, read-only or writable.  It also works with Office 365 and hosted exchange providers, if that's your situation.  It works for calendars, contacts, tasks, email, whatever.  It can even sync to PST or between two different Exchange servers.
    It installs on your workstation, not on the Exchange server.

  • IPhone Sync issue (and album art messed up)

    Whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes, instead of just updating the media I have changed, it will randomly add anywhere between 30 to 300 songs that were already on my iPhone. It doesn't cause any problems with using the iPhone other then the fact that it takes a really long time to sync even when I don't change anything or add new media to sync with the iPhone.
    So far I have:
    -made sure I have the latest updates of iTunes and all software
    -re-set iSync
    -done an archive and install
    -had a genius appointment at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and
    -they replaced my iPhone
    ...but my problems still exist. And on top of that, all of the album artwork on the iPhone is jumbled up. It looks fine in cover flow, but when I switch to the normal mode it will be the wrong artwork with the wrong song. My album artwork in itunes is not jumbled up, but all of the artwork for the movies and tv shows I have bought and downloaded from the iTunes Store has disappeared and I can't get it back by searching for album artwork.
    So, to recap, my 3 main problems are.
    1) iPhone Sync issue
    2) Album artwork jumbled up on iPhone
    3) TV Show and Movie artwork disappearing on iTunes
    If anyone can help your time would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

  • Intel and IPhone Sync issues

    Some forwarded this to me. It might be relevant to some users here.
    "Senior Editor, iLounge
    Published: Thursday, November 5, 2009
    News Category: iPhone
    Intel has issued a comment concerning the iPhone sync issues some users are experiencing with certain PCs containing a specific Intel chipset. “Our leading theory is a BIOS or system configuration issue, but we are still investigating,” Intel said. The basic input/output system (BIOS) is the boot firmware run by a PC on startup, which identifies, tests, and initializes core system devices such as the graphics card, hard disk, and other hardware. As we reported earlier this week, the syncing issue appears to linked to Intel’s P55 Express chipset and its USB controller, which leaves the afflicted machines able to recognize the iPhone but unable to sync. The problem has been most prevalent among PCs running 64-bit Windows 7, but the issue has also been reported on machines running both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of both Windows 7 and Vista."

    Hi R@chel,
    It sounds as if you are having difficulty making sure your iPhone only gets the music you want. In order to do this, you need to manually manage the data that gets synced to your iPhone. This article explains how to do so -

    Syncing manually
    If you prefer not to automatically sync content to your device, you can set up manual syncing:
    Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes.
    Click the Devices button in the upper-right corner. (If you're viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner. The Devices button will appear.)
    In the main iTunes browser window, select the Summary tab.
    Select the option to Manually manage music and videos or Manually manage music. This will deselect the automatic sync settings for the Music, Movies, and TV Shows tabs.
    Click Apply.
    And -
    After following the steps above, you can add individual songs, videos, and playlists from iTunes to your device. To add content to your device:
    Select your device.
    Click On this Device.
    Choose Add to in the upper-right corner. If you drag a song, video, TV show, or movie while viewing the media in your iTunes library, a sidebar will show up on the right. You can drag your content onto the device. You can also create and modify playlists directly on the device.

  • How to solve sync problem between Outlook calendar and iPhone when reminder is set to _some_ non-standard values?

    Hi,
    I am having a sync problem between my iPhone/iPad and Outlook calendar events (Outlook 2010).
    Here is the description of the problem:
    1. In Outlook - please create a new event/appointment (e.g. "Test").
    2. Reminder is set by default to 15 minutes. You can change it by using a dropdown menu - please select: "0,5 days".
    3. Click on "0,5 days" and change it manually to "14,5 days".
    4. Click on "Save & Close".
    5. (Do not snooze or dismiss the reminder.)
    6. Sync with your iPhone/iPad.
    7. Open this new event on iPhone/iPad - you can see that alert is set to "15 minutes before" instead to a correct value that was set in Outlook.
    The same problem can be seen if you set the reminder to e.g. "3 weeks" (standard value is "2 weeks").
    However, it is interesting that non-standard values like "1,5 days" (and all other until "13,5 days") are synced without any problem.
    Does anyone have a solution how to solve this problem (different than the trivial solution of not using those strange values)?
    Thanks!

    Thanks to another post (https://discussions.apple.com/message/17501071#17501071) I reset the sync history, here is what to do: 
    Launch iTunes.
    Before you hook up your iPhone to the PC and iTunes do this: Go to iTunes Edit menu > Preferences… > select the iPhone > click the Reset Synch History button > click OK.
    Connect the iPhone to the PC and let iTunes recognize it.
    In the top right corner is the iPhone icon, click on the left side of the iPhone icon > the iPhone menu launches.
    In the menu along the top click on Info > make your selections > click Sync button > it gives you a dialog at the top with the steps it’s going through during the sync.
    In the top left of the iTunes app > click Exit.

  • How can I sync my outlook calendar with iPhone or calendar on Maverick?

    I have just updated to Mavericks on my iMac. I use Microsoft Outlook for email, contacts and calendars. How do I now sync these on my iPhone ?
    The only sync seems to be via iCloud, this is sharing calendar and contacts on the iMac but if I make any calendar additions to the outlook calendar it doesn't copy to the phone or the iMac calendar and similarly if I add an item to the phone calendar it syncs to the iMac calendar but doesn't copy to outlook.

    1. Apple has removed sync services in OS X Mavericks. Therefore, you cannot sync Outlook 2011 with Contacts or Calendar.
    2. Apple has removed the ability to sync through iTunes in OS X Mavericks, so that, even if you use Contacts and Calendar on the Mac, you can only sync them with your iPhone through iCloud, thus exposing all your contacts and calendar information to the mercies of the Web.
    3. Microsoft does not not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly through iCloud, except perhaps by setting up a Microsoft Exchange account.
    4. Apple makes it extremely difficult (virtually impossible) to revert to a version of OSX that is earlier than OS X Mavericks once Mavericks is installed.
    In short, we are screwed and neither company seems to care.
