Outlook for Mac : Cannot sync calendars or contacts with ipad/iphone

I have looked at all the forums, product literature, etc and it seems that there is no way I can sync my calendars and contacts with Iphone/Ipad.. I know this is possible with Exchange or Microsoft Office 365 but I don't want to change my current sw. I am really frustrated.. Any clues?

No, the only online solution supported with Office for Mac is Microsoft Exchange.

HT1386 I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in".

I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in". Could you please help?

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

HT204053 cannot sync calendar on my new ipad mini. my mac and macbook use a .me account for iCloud. How can I change this?

I cannot sync calendar on new ipad mini. My mac desktop and mac book have an old .me icloud account name. Cannot change that so how do I sync?

If you had a passcode set on your iPad your data should be safe. The thief would have to force it into recovery mode and restore it in order to use it, which would completely erase it.
This shouldn't keep your daughter's device from accessing the iCloud account however. If you can no longer sign into the account on iCloud.com from your computer, contact Apple support for assistance.

Can I synch my Outlook for Mac 2011 calendars and contacts with my iPhone calendars and contacts?

I have Outlook for Mac 2011 and also use OSx Mountain Lion on my iMac. I want to synch my Calendar and Contacts from Outlook with my iOS devices (iPhone 5 and iPad). How can I do this so I don't have two calendars and two contacts that don't sync with each other?

if you don't have a online account that outlook is syncing the calendar with you can't sync it with anything else.
Just because you enter a appointment, or something, in the outlook calendar that does not auto sync it with other devices unless you have it setup to sync the local, on computer, calendar with a online account of some type. That could be outlook.com or office365 or google or even apple icloud. Once you setup a online account of some type to sync the local calendar with then you can sync that account calendar with orher devices.
This is what the other poster was trying to say but did not fully explain with the mention of icloud.

I have Mountain Lion (10x) not Lion. When I go to Sync Services in the Outlook preferences - there is no Calender there to link to. Is this because MS no longer supports Mountain Lion? Is there any other way to sync to iCal?

Responded to pop up to download iCloud. Selected sync calendar and contacts with Outlook. Now my contacts have disappeared from Outlook. Any chance of recovering?

Hi
Thanks for your comment. Do you currently tether through your BB? I can get access to the internet to use my Outlook but when I try to sync by contacts and calendar, I am unable.
Is your set-up similar?

Can't Sync Calendar and Contacts with Outlook 2007

I have an iPhone and I usually sync my calendar and contacts with my Outlook 2007. But since a few days wherever I change or add a new information (PC or iPhone) it doesn't sync. Nothing changes in any device. No error is displayed. Does someone know what can be possibly happening, since it has worked perfectly since 2009? I have tried to remove the calendars and add it again and didn't have success.
Thanks.

Open Microsoft Outlook. Go to Tools > Options, then in the "Other" tab. Check the box next to " Make Outlook the default program for mail , contacts and calendar. Confirm by clicking OK.
Microsoft Windows XP :
Click on the Start menu and choose Set Program Access and Defaults.

How to sync calendar and contact with Galaxy S2 and iCal and Address Book, how to sync calendar and contact with Galaxy S2 and iCal and Address Book

I have a Galaxy S2, gmail account, hotmail account and want to know the best way to be able to sync calendar and contacts from the Galaxy S2 with iCal and Address Book. I want to be able to make changes on any device and be able to sync the changes. Hotmail is my main email account and would prefer to use tha account but I know that the Galaxy prefers Google. Any ideas?

You have several ways to sync your phone to a mac.
You can use Samsung Kies for mac. You can download it here.
You can also use Google for it. Open Adress Book, click Adress Book on the left top of the screen, click Prefferences and open the Accounts tab. You'll see a "Synchronize with Google" checkbox, click it, enter you mail and password and you are good to go.
On iCal go to Preferences (top left, click iCal to see it), open the Accounts Tab, you'll see a blank list on the left, at the bottom of it there is a "+" sign, click on it and select Google on the Account Type dropdown list, enter your account details and you are done.
Third way to do it is by using third party software such as SyncMate.
Hope any of these alternatives solve your problem!
(The iCal and Address Book instructions are for Snow Leopard, but it should be almost the same on Lion)

Cannot Sync Calendar and Contacts

I upgraded to Windows 7 but am still using Outlook 2003 as it is compatible with my office server for data storage. I am not sure when exactly but when I upgraded iPhone software to 4.3.2, I find that since Windows 7/Software 4.3.2, I cannot sync my calendar and contacts in Outlook 2003 with my iPhone. Old entries in my calendar are still there but the new entries do not show. I have even reduced my calendars to one single calendar. Worse, sometimes when I try to sync, it causes Outlook 2003 to hang and close. Can anyone help me? Thank you.

its done in the info tab
the most easy way is to get both OS X and ios to sync with icloud
but otherwise you need to spc. a bit more then "having trouble" too little info

Complaint: cannot sync calendars or contacts without icloud

I have an iphone 5s, and on the phone and laptop [macbook pro early 2011] fully update OSs, 10.9 maverix and iOS 7.0.3.
I cannot sync my calendars and contacts anymore from the phone to computer, with icloud, it seems. i am still searching for a solution to this obvious problem/bug.
If this is Apple's intention then i register my complaint. Removing this choice from your loyal customers is simply a bad decision. I do not ever want to use icloud, do not need or want it. Also that this non-icloud sync ability was removed, without a word anywhere that i can see, this dismays me and makes me wish i had checked out alternative phones/OSs. --I am not hopeful that android would be any better. Just wish i had learned before buying two days ago the 5s.
I hope that a future update will bring this ability back.

Don't know how you are able to continue receiving email with the account, but this will end soon.
If you are accessing the account with the Mail.app on your Mac, you should transfer all server stored messages to a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox ASAP. When account access is stopped which will happen soon, all messages that remain on the server will be lost.
If you don't intend to purchase a MM account, best to stop using it now since anyone that sends you email will no longer be able to do so once access to the account has stopped, which will happen soon.
Turning off over the air syncing for contact info and calendar events should allow for this and the same for when deleting the account on your iPhone. I read a post recently by someone with the same problem. They were told to delete and recreate the account on the iPhone but don't enable over the air syncing for contact info and calendar events after doing so.

Using Outlook for Mac; emails and calendar announcements will not send--error message: "the server does not support secure connections" Help?

Am using Outlook calendar for Mac--needed for client connection. Invites will not go out. Error message: "server does not support secure connections." Resolution?

I have done a similar set of things and no results.
This is really odd, Mac Mail works other emasil clients work, just not Outlook.
The only event I can tie it back to is the outage a couple of weeks ago when AppleID's weren't working for a perdion of time. I ended up having to reset mine.
Is it feasible a local certificate got corrupted at the same or, oddly, that the SMTP servers don't have the updated password?
What's odd is that I no matter how much i Google, i can't find anyone else who has this problem, other than here?

Syncing Calendar and Contacts between iPad and iMac

I receive invites to meeting on multiple email accounts (I often have accounts on client site). All invites (to date) are *.ics which as I understand is not supported by Mac (ughhh).
In any case, I use entourage 2008 on my iMac, I have the latest version of iTunes and the lovely tether that came with my iPad. I also have signed up for a trial of MobileMe.
All emails end up in Entourage in the iMac where they are automatically placed in the calendar application in Entourage. So if I look at this calendar or my BlackBerry I am up to date!! Awesome.
Now I have enable calendar and contact sharing in Entourage which I thought would automatically populate iCal (not so). (if anyone know of a great application for ics please share!!)
As for the MobileMe - I have not figured out how this puppy works yet - I was again hoping that this would automatically update - i.e. a push system.
When I plug the iPad in to the iMac iTunes opens up (lots of i's - starting to feel narcissistic) - I then ask it to sync my calendar and contacts - at this point it is hit and miss ... it seemed to capture some of the entries one time ... then the second time I did it it captured only the first ones that were already on the iPad and duplicated them - now I have two of each appointment. Same thing happened with music but less important at this point.
I checked on MobileMe and it also only has the few appointment from the first sync and no new ones ...
I was hoping someone could provide a "made for dummies" step by step process on how to effectively and automatically as possible sync my iPad (I realize it is not a computer but I have to rationalize the 1000 bucks I spent or the boss (my wife) will not be happy.
If you could start the process with how to delete all appointments/contacts on my iPad so I can start fresh that would be great!!
Please do not assume I a actually know too much in the process (as you can see I am a bit of a newbie to syncing)
Great Appreciation in Advance!!!!

So I have begun the step by step:
Notes as I went (I wish we could do screen captures in here ...)
+*Set up sync from Entourage to iCal and Address Book Set up sync with iTunes or MobileMe, not both.*+
When I go into sync in entourage it gives me the option to "Synchronize contact with iTunes and MobileMe" (not one or the other just both - I have it checked)
*+First, on the iMac, run iSync, choose it's preferences, and reset sync services. That cleans up the sync database on the iMac+*
Reset Sync Service under the Advanced section is "greyed out" and as such I can not activate it? Running V3.02 --- OK turned off Entourage and iSync - when I restarted iSYnc it allowed me to reset.
+*In Entourage, open Preferences, go to Sync services, and choose to sync the Calendar and Contacts.*+
It prompts me at this point to Combine, Delete entourage, or Delete iCal and MobileMe (I chose Combine for lack of a better choice)
+*If you want to use MobileMe, then switch off syncing in iTunes. Open the MobileMe preference pane, and on the sync tab, hit the advanced button and reset again. When asked, choose to overwrite MM with the information on the iMac*+
I could not find a place in iTunes to turn off syncing? The only thing there was syncing og iPod but it was greyed out.
Let's try ....
OK - contacts seem good.
The caledar is stillhit and miss. I noticed I had created an invite to myself in the calendar - sort of a reminder to do something but still created an invite - this one does not show up and few others that are series not showing up?
I am closer however and will see how this works ...
Apple - it would sure be nice if you would just get with the worked on the *.ics files --- this is a huge issue on both the business and consumer side ...

Cannot sync iphotos or itunes with new iphone

I have just purchased a new iphone, which I have synced with my MacBook Pro using itunes. I have also authorised the computer from the 'Store' drop down menu.
After connecting the iphone with the provided usb and dock I have successfully synced all my contacts, calendar, bookmarks and mail accounts but when i try and sync the iphotos and itunes it fails with the message 'The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation'.
As I have more than 14gb free and the iphoto folder I am trying to import is very small I don't understand the problem. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Carl

ok finished verifying and repairing disk permissions with Disk Utility but I still get the same message.
with regards to the permissions setting via finder, I'm not sure what i need to check but there's nothing obviously wrong. It's currently set to read & write
I restored the factory settings and still it failed to load iphotos and I still get the same message. Within ITunes should it list photos under the DEVICES list as it currently shows Music, Movies, TV Shows & Ringtones.
On the plus side however, I have managed to load itunes now. Not sure why I can't seem to do the same with iphotos?

Outlook 2010 won't sync over the air with my iPhone 4s

I got my iphone 4s at the same time that my work switched to Outlook 2010. Now I can only sync calendars manually and not automatically over the air as I enter appointments. Plus, only appointments entered on the PC will sync with the phone - appointments entered on the phone won't sync with my work calendar at all. What's going on??? I don't know if it's a phone issue or an Outlook 2010 issue, since both changed at the same time. I did notice that new appointments typed on my phone are a different color than those entered on my PC, if that matters at all (it may just be a new feature of ios5).
