Outlook iOS app - Calendar Acceptance

If you create a calendar event in Outlook 2013 and then view it on the iOS Outlook app it asks you to accept the invite (at the bottom) even though you were the one who created it!
Pretty sure this is a bug, but if it's not can someone explain why this happens?

Yes it is possible. But, it does not then sync to OWA. Rather, it synchs to the desktop PIM (likely Outlook) on your PC (which just happens to replicate against the Exchange Server, which further replicates against OWA). See this KB:
KB17022 How to configure synchronization settings for BlackBerry Desktop Manager

How do I sync outlook contacts and calendar without deleting apps?

I have a second iPad. I wish to sync my Outlook contacts and calendar with my second iPad, however, upon doing so, I am prompted that I will be deleting the apps on the second iPad, which I suffered through yesterday (twice). Ideas on how to get around this? I am wondering how iTunes is not differentiating between the two iPads.
Any assistance is welcomed. Thank you.

Hi Bormond65,
Can you tell us a little bit more about your configuration? Are you using Exchange? Are you currently run Outlook for Mac (Office 2011) on your MacBook Pro? Or are you looking to migrate data from a PC to Outlook for Mac on your MacBook Pro?

IOS 7 Calendar does not show appointments imported as VCS files in Microsoft Outlook / Exchange. Any solutions?

iOS 7 Calendar does not show appointments imported as VCS files in Microsoft Outlook / Exchange in Windows 7. I discovered this when downloading itinerary.vcs files from Delta to mark flights in my calendar. The work around I found is as follows:
Open the VCS file, this will create a Calendar entry in your Outlook,
Open the created Outlook Calendar entry, go to File -> Save As and then select to save as ICS file.
Delete original VCS-created appointment in your calendar to avoid multiple calendar.
Open the re-saved ICS file.
Appointment will now correctly synchronize with your iPhone iOS 7 calendar.
If anyone has better alternatives to this process, please help out. Hopefully, Apple will fix this with the next iOS update.

Some Outlook tasks only showing up in Outlook Web App, even if they were entered in Outlook 2013 or on the iOS email client.

A user creates tasks in Outlook 2013, his Exchange email account on his iPhone and in the Outlook Web App (Not Outlook.com). A small number of these tasks will only show up in the Outlook Web App, though, no matter which platform he entered the
task from. He can enter a task in Outlook 2013 and it might not show up on the task list in Outlook 2013 or IOS after that, but WILL show up in the outlook Web App task list.
At first I thought sorting was the issue, but we compared all tasks in both Outlook 2013 and OWA, sorted by due date, and, sure enough, some were missing from 2013.
What I am not sure of:
If/how long a task will be visible on the platform it was submitted before it begins only appearing in OWA.
How long ago this started
I couldn't find this issue in the community or with a quick google search.
I am going to see when he is available to sit down and go through tasks to see if there is a pattern and try replicate it so I can see how long it might be available on the submitting platform before disappearing.
I can provide any other info needed. Thoughts on this issue?

Hi,
I would suggest you reset the view if you found some tasks in Outlook missing.
VIEW tab -> Reset View.
Or we can simply start Outlook with the switch "/cleanviews"(Restores default views. All custom views that you created are lost):
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /cleanviews” in the blank box, then press Enter.
Check if this helps you find the missing tasks.
Thanks,

Show your tasks in the calendar view - Outlook Web App

Hi,
Is it possible to show your tasks in the calendar view in Outlook Web App 2013 ?
Some explanations of what I want to do :-)
We use Project Server so user can encode their work, this tasks are sync with an Exchange Server 2013 so tasks can be view in Outlook Web App. It's working really fine but we also want that in OWA, tasks are showed in a calendar so users can share what they
have to do.
How can we add the tasks into a calendar or how can an user can easily share what he do ?
Thanks,
Patmol

Hi Patmol,
Tasks are not listed in
calendar in Outlook/OWA, To view task you will have to go to
Tasks folder or view the task
in To-do bar. You can also see the tasks for the day
in calendar folder if you go to Daily Task List. There are no Add-ins from Microsoft that can add
tasks in the
calendar along with Meetings/Appointments.
Thanks,
James

Stolen iPad was wiped and erased/synched my exchange calendar. I have recovered some of the calendar entries through the outlook web app, but only entries made in the last 15 or so days. Any ideas on how to recover the rest?

My ipad was stolen over the weekend and i immediately contacted apple to do a data-wipe.
On wednesday, the ipad was apparently wiped and then decided to sync with all of my other systems. It's been two days and I just figured out how to access and recover deleted items from the Outlook Web App from my exchange host.
They were scattered throughout and sorted by the date they were added to the calendar so some things are still missing. Anyone know how to restore what i'm still missing?

I copied a calendar item from Outlook to the Calendar app. I can't delete it and the reminder for the meeting repeats itself every few seconds.

Can you access in on icloud.com and delete the event? If not, and force-quitting didn't help, try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Calendars, choose Delete from Mac when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then restart your Mac and go back and check Calendars again.

Is there any mac/iOS app or feature I can use to alert me every five minutes?

I need an app or a feature on Mac, iPhone, or iPad that will send me a push notification or some kind of alert every five minutes.
I would rather not set up a million calendar alerts or alarms, as I will have to be using this a lot.
It will need to run in the background, especially if it's an ios app.
I would rather not use an iOS app that makes noise but doesn't send a push notification.
An iOS app is preferred, but anything works.
System alternatives will be accepted as well.
And no, I cannot simply ask Siri to do it, as I have tried in the past, and she says she can't do alerts that frequent.
Thank you for the help!

You could do this using AppleScript on your Mac.
See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3718520/how-do-i-write-applescript-that-will- give-me-an-hourly-popup-alert for the basic code to do the repeating alert.
Combine it with this for a Notification: http://macosxautomation.com/mavericks/notifications/01.html
Quite simple really...

How does Outlook determine a calendar entry is 'Out of Date'

I'm currently migrating into my new Office 365 tenant and am experiencing the ios 8 corruption issues.
Outlook clients show recurring meeting updates as 'Out Of Date' and will not apply them to the meeting.
What does outlook do to calculate the age of a meeting update

Hi,
There are some known Calendar issue with Exchange ActiveSync for ios 8:
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/3015401/en-us
It is not recommended to user ActiveSync device to edit/change/accept/remove/forward Calendar items. Please refer to the following KB for some issue caused by the third-party devices:
https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2563324/en-us
Additionally, the article below also describes the following scenarios in which the Calendar items may become out of date:
•You forward a meeting request.
•You use Outlook Web Access to accept a meeting.
•You do not click "Send Update" when you change a meeting that you organize.
•You do not process a meeting request in the Inbox.
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/899704/en-us
Please check it for your causes. If you still have any question about the calendar issue in your Office 365, we can ask a question in Exchange Online forum for more suggestion:

AiO Remote iOS app -scanning A4

I have a Photosmart 5515 All in One printer and have been using the iOS app AiO Remote app to scan in some A4 pages. I set the app to scan to a document and also the page size to A4. Looking at the resultant document it has scaled the the document down. It has centralised the document but you end up with margins of a couple of inches all round.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Does anyone know how to overcome this?

Hi Rturner003,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that you are encountering difficulties when scanning A4 documents with HP's All-in-One Printer Remote app.
I did some testing on this with an iPad and 3 different ePrint capable printers and each time I was able to recreate it. However that doesn't mean we are kippered. I have included a link to a post on the forums and the key part for you to get your A4 scanned document to print the document as you require, please follow step 3 after you have scanned the image. The key is to pinch the image to the size you would like.

IPhone 4S Outlook 2010 shared Calendar problem

Hello all,
There problem to see in Outlook 2010 shared calendar in iPhone 4S. In iPhone 4S there is seen owner calendar of added Exchange Server account, but I need to see other one person shared calendar which is impossible to see. I see in iPhone 4S two calendars as added, but when I open calendar I see entries only for one account.
Where is problem and how to solve it?
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Girts

I had the same problem where I could open a shared calendar in OWA but it would not work in Outlook 2010. When I clicked on the shared folder I got the error message 'outlook cannot open this folder'. The problem ended up being that the person
whose calendar was being shared was hidden on the exchange server ('hide from exchange address lists' had been selected). To resolve the issue we had to unhide the user, update the OAB on the server and then update the OAB on the desktop. We could then share
the calendar, accept the share and then hide the user again.
Sounds like I have the same issue too. Where do I go to do all the resolve part? Where do I unhide the user? I am guessing OAB means offline address book.
Thanks
Paul

IOS 7 calendar

Aside from sending a complaint to Apple, what can be done to convince the designers of the iOS 7 calendar to return to the more efficient month calendar view?!!!!! I can no longer, in one glance at the month view, get any information. Just those dots! Makes no sense and baffled how someone didn't ask the question, why would we make something LESS efficient? I depend solely on that month view to plan events. Now, I have to go to EACH day view, see only part of the day at a time, or switch to the list view, etc., etc. It's so painful. We are a family of 5 iPhones, MacBook Pro, iMac, and iPad. I'm losing trust in Apple and although I've never had anything but their products, I may be drawn to the other side by my brother who works for Microsoft. (No mention of battery life issues either...!). Please fix this someone out there!

Thanks for the responses about apps. Just stubborn of me, I guess I believe I shouldn't need an app to correct a now less efficient calendar. And I don't know about anyone else, but the battery life is terrible - and then I'm using another app. I have gone everywhere online to address that issue; no luck.

IOS 7 Calendar not working properly

Hi,
I can't get my iOS 7 calendar to respond to any commands... it opens, but everything is greyed out (i can navigate the app, but I can't execute anything). My iCloud is working perfectly, and it syncs with my macbook pro, but my iPhone 4 calendar will not sync or allow me to create new events. I can however sync successfully with third party apps like the sunrise calendar app for my iPhone. My contacts and safari are also syncing just fine.
Believe it or not, I do want to be able to use the default calendar app. I have tried all the usual solutions in the message boards, and nothing seems to work. Does anyone have a solution?

No one is else is havinv this problem? I'm shocked that no one has replied, not even from Apple. I am still having this problem and am missing important emails in a timely fashion. I am not getting emails that were sent 5 hours ago. THere is something wrong here. If anyone has any inkling of an idea, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

I had the same problem until this moring. Using Google, go to the black bar (+you, search, images, more) and hit +you. That should activate the Plus key. Hope it works with your ipad, too.

IOS 7 Calendar Lag

When creating an event in iOS 7 calendar, the event editing box has a really choppy scroll animation (or whatever it is). However, if my iPad switches to landscape/ switches to landscape and back to portrait view, the scroll lag goes away. Any solutions that eliminate having to switch views?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
