Outlook categories and colors over push sync with exchange server

Hello,
in which way can i get the outlook categories, colors and privacy flag from my company outlook over the exchange push sync to my iphone?
Currently I'm using an PDA to transport my calendar and tasks. But with our new
iphones I wan't to have only one device for all.
Is there a chance to me to get this szenario work?
Yours Rüdiger

You cannot, until Apple modifies the iPhone OS so it can handle those flags.
You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

I have a sync account and used to keep sync with Firefox server. Now computer got re-installed(OS) and want to sync data from Firefox sync server. But I am unable to setup as i don't have sync key.
I would like to just sync with Firefox Sync Server with existing account. I can not find any way out for this. please reply me on

hello, for the old sync system in firefox 28 and below you also had to sign up with a mail address and password originally - to connect firefox to the old account you would need to have all those three pieces (mail, password & recovery key) available to you unfortunately...

Calendar will not sync with Exchange server or most Google Calendars

Hi,
I am writing about my wife's brand new Samsung Charge on Verizon. We managed to setup both her gmail account and her work exchange server account fine, except for the calendars:
Her Google calendar shows up fine, but I am unable to even see any other Google calendars that she has access to (both her own secondary calendars as well as calendars that others have shared with her) in order to select them to be visible.
Her exchange calendar says it is enabled (on the list of available calendars), but no events at all show up.
This behavior is with the latest software updates on the Charge (2.2.1 firmware, I510.EE4 build) using its stock calendar software. I did notice that if I use Smooth Calendar, it does list all of her Google calendars under its listing of available calendars, but it still only shows data from her primary calendar. This is also true using the Touch Calendar app, which leads me to believe that there is some problem within the Google Calendar sync software that is not allowing her calendars to appear correctly.
Thanks!

Outlook Categories and Colors for Email and Calendar on iPhone

I was hoping that the iPhone would retain my Outlook categories and category rules. For example, when new emails come into my Outlook Inbox, they get categorized based upon the sender of the email. Does iPhone respect Outlook categories? Also, when I put meeting requests on my Outlook Calendar, they are color coded based upon those same categories. Customer A gets Blue, customer B gets Orange, etc. Is the color supposed to be retained when I look at my Outlook Calendar on my iPhone?
Thanks

Are these rules applied on an Exchange Server or locally on the computer?
If they are local on the computer, then any rules your have in Outlook will not pass over to the iPhone.
Any rules on the Exchange Server would happen on the server side and the iPhone would mirror what is on the server.
If you are not using an Exchange server and you want the same folder information from your computer to show on the iPhone, then you can use either an IMAP email account or MobileMe service.

IPad 2 Contacts sync with Exchange server and change Outlook custom form

Following iPad synchronizing Contacts, we find that our custom form in Outlook is pushed back to the Microsoft default “IPM:Contact”.
It appears that only the first 500 [approximation] contacts are affected. There are 5k contacts and we are seeing no other patterns.
We are not expecting an iOS Contact will resemble that of MS-Contacts, at the same time we are puzzled how iPad is rejecting and then causing ActiveSync to force change to the Exchange server.
Has anyone else experienced this, and can perhaps recommend a workaround?
Environment
MAC iPad2 iOS v4.3.5 attached using ActiveSync
Exchange 2003 SP2
Users are with either Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010
Thank you very much.
Best Regards.

I'm excited to finally sync my work email with my iPhone. Our IT didn't support it and we work off of an Exchange server. I, too, was nervous about which contacts to sync. While I want my work email, I don't need my contacts and would rather have mine from my mac at home. Unfortunately, you can only do one at a time. The following paragraph is from a c net review. Find the entire article here (the part about the Exchange Server is about 1/2 way down):
http://reviews.cnet.com/apple-iphone-3g/
//Once you're ready to go, the iPhone will sync your Outlook e-mail, contacts, and calendar. Be advised that while the iPhone can support multiple POP3 accounts at once (two Yahoo accounts, for instance), it syncs with only one Exchange server and, worse, with only with one calendar or contacts list at a time. If you have a separate personal calendar, your work calendar will replace it once you start the sync. (You'll be notified before it happens.)//
Hope this helps!

Hidden Contact Subfolders are visible on iPhone after sync with Exchange Server 2007

Hello,
We have encountered an issue where synchronizing the iPhone with Contacts from an Exchange Server 2007 mailbox, causes hidden contact subfolders (from Outlook) to be visible and appear in the Groups list in the Contacts App on the iPhone. This does not occur with Exchange Server 2010 mailboxes.
We have a 3rd party application that creates hidden subfolders in the default Contacts folder on Exchange Server 2007 mailboxes. The hidden folders do not display in the Outlook client, Blackberry or on an Android phone. We did see that they were showing up in Outlook Web Access until we applied this Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 3 Rollup 2 patch unto the Exchange server:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2210042 - A sub contact folder is still visible after you set the "PR_ATTR_HIDDEN" attribute to "True" in an Exchange Server 2007 environment.
After the patch was applied, the hidden contacts do not show up anywhere else. However, when we synced the mailbox to an iPhone and synced existing contacts, all of the hidden folders appear in the Contact Groups list. Is there a way to hide the hidden sub contact folders on the iPhone and prevent them from appearing in the Contact Group lists?
Any help provided would be most appreciated.
Thanks and Best Regards

Hi SBuchan,
I have an open case with Microsoft about it. It is an issue with ActiveSync in Exchange 2007 that sends the hidden objects. Microsoft tried to resolve this in Exchange 2010 by sending a delete message after sending the hidden objects to remove them from the device. Am awaiting to see if they will approve a design change to Exchange 2007 ActiveSync to prevent the synching of hidden objects.

Office 2011 Task sync with Exchange Server is overwriting data

Originally posted at answers.microsoft.com. No help there. They suggested I try posting here:
A little background in case it's important:
SBS2008 Server w/ Exchange v7 8.01.0340.000
I run an RDC connection to a virtual server running Office 2010 (this is not the same server hosting Exchange)
I run a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 and Office 2011
I use both of these workspaces simultaneously. Previous to installing Office 2011 last month, I ran Office 2010 from the RDC connection. Everything worked fine from that side.
Now that I'm using Outlook 2011 task management is very strange at times. I'm in MacOS 95% of my day. I'd prefer to use Outlook 2011 rather than 2010 through an RDC connection, which is the reason I purchased 2011.
The issue(s): Suppose I create a task in Outlook 2011, and save it; then, later I go back to make edits. If Outlook happens to sync while I have the task open in edit mode, it will get overwritten with the previously saved version. The only workaround
I have found so far is to hit the cmd-s button nearly as frequently as punctuation. At least I never lose more than a sentence fragment.
However, one thing that I can not seem to resolve at all is completion status. If I ever have occasion to re-activate a completed task--which does happen--toggling the 'completed' button back off and saving the task does not re-set its status back
to active. The 'task complete' flag seems to fall outside of the purview of the save function. So, while hitting 'save' regularly when editing tasks retains the data, every time exchange syncs with the tasks, it will mark the task completed again.
I have double/triple checked the server's time and my workstation's time are the same--down to the second. I've tried closing the Outlook 2010 application on the PC. I've fiddled with the sync services preferences in Outlook 2011 to sync to the
Exchange server, to my computer (and combinations of both); I've set the outlook folder to add new items to the Exchange server and to the local machine. The results are always the same as outlined above.

Hi,
Please start Outlook in safe mode and check whether the issue persists. Also make sure there is no third-party autispam program installed in your machine. If there is, please disable it to have a try.
Personal suggestion, if the issue only happens on your Mac with OSX 10.6.8 and Office 2011, I suggest we can ask a question in Outlook 2011 for Mac forum in Microsoft for more help:

Mac Reminder (Mountain Lion) cannot sync with Exchange Server 2010

Hi All,
My boss is using iMac reminder (Mountain Lion), iPhone and iPad sync with his Exchange Server account, He cannot sync Mac reminder with Exchange Server last week. However, there are no sync problem of iPhone, iPad and the other iMac.
My boss mail to me 'Just noticed that my iMac reminder is not in sync with the server. IOS device is in sync though. Tried unchecking calendar+reminder on account setup and rechecking but still no good. Any ideas?'
Could anyone help me?
Thanks,

Started experiencing this same issue with new Macs on Moutain Lion connecting to MicroSoft Exchange Server.
ERROR Says:
Calendar can't save the event "event name here" to the Exchange server.
The account "describes calendar name" currently can't be modified. to discard your changes and continue using the version of your calendars that's on the server. click Revert to Server.
Then gives the buttons "Revert to Server" "Try Again" or "Ignore"
!!! Somehow it seems like this is a known issue, otherwise WHY would Apple have given us those 3 buttons to click on?
Needless to say this is causing productivity problems as it disrupts the very busy schedule of many users. Apple needs to provide some workaround for this.

Can iPhone Sync with Exchange Server - Calendar and Contacts?

Gateway Windows XP Pro Outlook 2003
Gateway Windows XP Pro

My colleague who uses Windows at the office has synced her calendar with Outlook 2003; that should not be a problem. The iPhone directly syncs contacts with Outlook 2003 as well.
iPhone does not connect to Exchange Servers directly unless they are setup for IMAP or POP e-mail access. And in those cases it is not syncing calendar or contact info with the server, just e-mail. (As an aside, we have not been able to get the iPhone to retrieve e-mail using POP to connect to our Exchange server. POP is working fine (lots of other e-mail clients use it without a problem), but the iPhone cannot connect).
Hope that helps.

Treo 750 losing sync with Exchange Server

Hi All,
I have an AT&T Treo 750 that I have been using as my business phone for going on 2 years. I have had this synced with my Exchange server for over 1 1/2 years. About 2 weeks ago I noticed that I was not receiving emails as regularly and noticed that it was not syncing automatically. I could go into the account (using the outlook email account) and do a manual send/receive but it would not do it automatically. I reluctantly broke down and did a hard reset and set the account back up and it stared working again for about a week and quit again. I ended up getting on an online chat session with Palm and tehy had me delete and reset up teh account. Again it worked for about 4 days and now has quit working again.
Any ideas? This is very frustrating as I am mobile a lot and need to get my emails quickly as they come in.
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

That could be the problem and I think you should try to archive some of your email. Our chat support covered just about everything with the device itself. While it could be the device still causing this I want to see if the server could be at fault. With EAS its hard to tell what could be causing the issue. Other possibility could be that it is an account corruption on the server side or the device OS or email program is corrupted and cannot be fixed with a hard reset.
Basically what we need to do is have you archive some of your email, if that does not resolve the issue then see if your IT can create a new email profile for you on the server and see if that resolves the problem. If they are unwilling to do that step or that does not work we need to try another device to see if you have the same issue. I would suggest that you try another 750 WM 6.0 to see if it is your treo or the server causing this.

Calendar sync with Exchange server is unidirectional

Hello I can synchronize my BB 8900 with the Exchange calendar in bidirectional mode using the USB cable. When I switch it to wireless mode in my calendar options at the BB device, the synchronisation works only from the computer to the BB but not the other way round. I have checked I have just one calendar (desktop), and checked that calendar sync is set in bidirectional mode in the desktop manager (I did it and checked it was working well with the USB before switching again to wireless). I have BB 8900 v4.6.1.310 (Platform 4.2.0.127) and have tried with different desktop manager versions, with same result (4.7 and 5.01). My corporate helpdesk is working on it for several days but no clue of the problem . Any suggestion?

I have the exact problem. Upgraded iPad 2 and iPod touch 4th gen to iOS 6 at same time. IPad reconnected to exchange server w/o major problems. iPod lost contacts, calendar, and exchange e-mail. Spent 5 hours on phone over past two nights with apple support w/o any resolution. Support was very nice and supportive, but in the end did nothing to help. He kept blaming my company's exchange server settings claiming that I did not have all the information set correctly. We copied the settings EXACTLY from IPAD to iPod without success. I was then able to set up my exchange account on wife's iPod touch w/o any problems. My calendar, contacts, email all synched onto her iPod fine . He had little to say about my Icompany's IT settings, and finally admitted he had no idea how to help. It is not you, it is IOS 6. Thanks Apple for a shiny paperweight that no longer can provide me with calendar, e-mail, or contacts . I wish my only complaint with iOS 6 was the map!
This is like ownging a Ford for two years, and then, aftrer changing the oil, the car starts, but the wheels no longer will turn.

IPhone not syncing with Exchange server

I'm having an issue with IOS 5.1.1. Since Monday, my iPhone is downloading emails from my Exchange (outlook) account like it always has, the problem is, when I delete an email in Outlook, it's not deleting from my phone. Similarly, reading an email in Outlook doesn't mark it as "read" on my phone. This leaves me at the end of the day with hundreds of unread/extraneous emails on my phone that I have already addressed, filed or deleted in Outlook. How do I correct this?
This is weird because it has worked correctly with everything syncing properly up until this week, and I did not update anything.
I'm using a PC for the Outlook - same PC as always, and no updates unless my company updated something remotely without my knowledge.
I have set up my email account using the "Exchange" option when I added it. Already tried deleting and re-adding the account (twice).
Thank you!

As I had said in my earlier post, my problem was with outlook being slow in updating exchange.
However, this does not explain your symptoms with OWA.
When I used OWA, the "state" seen by OWA and the iPhone matched (what was read, was read; what was not, was not). However, Outlook (in my case, Outlook on the Mac - Office 2011) was way behind in updating this state. If you read something in Outlook, it could take a very long time to reflect this state back to the Exchange Server.
Part of the reason for this was that I had a lot of stuff, both in my inbox and in my deleted mail. I had to clear this out to allow Outlook on the Mac to perform at all well.
Are you sure that OWA is aligned with Outlook? OWA is a direct view into the server state, and should match server state. Outlook and the iPhone mail app are accessing the server, and have the opportunity (at least) to not show the current state of the server (bugs, delays, performance, etc).
If OWA and Outlook are really correctly in sync, and it has to be an Apple problem or a problem in the exchange server interface Apple is using. But this was not my experience.
