Outlook Mail + Contact + Calendar folders change after sync

I use Outlook and after sync with my iPhone my Favorite Folder list changes. The Calendar and Contact folder names appear in Favorites (not there before) and cannot be deleted by right click and selecting "Remove from Favorite Folders". I found that by rebooting my computer the two folder names disappear but so do all my folders I added to my Favorites list. The only ones remaining are the default ones; Inbox, Outbox etc. I have to then select and add the additional ones I require. Also, when I now click the Calendar button I see only the three month calendar on the left pane and the day calendar on the right pane...with no other options available and when I click the Contact button I get the Calendar choices and if I click one of those choices the Calendar button light up.
To access my Contacts I have to right click the Contacts button and select "Open in New Window". If I do the same with the Calendar button I get the same Calendar window as just by clicking the Calendar button.
Has anyone experienced this problem? How can I fix it?
This happens each type I sync. All the contact info and appointment info sync OK to the iPhone.

Hi,
I activated Exchange sync for contacts and also Mobile Me sync for Address Book in the first phase when I started to use my iPhone 3G. So I didn't lost any local contacts on my phone. Both Exchange and Mobile Me work on my phone simultaneously.
I can put Mobile Me sync off and those contacts will disappear from my phone. And when I re-connect Mobile Me, contacts sync fine back to my phone.
I have minor problem though, Exchange sync works fine from my phone to server and vice versa. But Mobile Me seems not to work from Address Book to Phone. When I do this disconnect - reconnect workaround I can get the results I'm looking for, but it's not that user-friendly and "it's only working"-type procedure to do.
Any ideas where could be the problem?

Mail, Contacts, Calendar not available on iCloud Control Panel on my Win 7 PC for Outlook sync

I have loaded iCloud Control Panel 4.0 on my PC (Win 7 64)
The iCloud Drive, photos & Bookmarks is available to be switched on/off but Mail, Contacts, Calendar etc not available. Instead just a message on top that says you can access Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders at iCloud.com.
How do I setup iCloud so that the Calendar & Contacts on my OUTLOOK 2010 are synced with my iPhone &iPad?

Hey RuiEVG,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines troubleshooting information for using iCloud contacts on a Windows PC. It may be that your version of Outlook is not supported:

Check the system requirements
Make sure that your PC meets the iCloud system requirements.
iCloud Control Panel doesn't support Outlook 2010 Personal Edition.
Thanks,

Ipad/iphone shifts calendar times +1hr after syncing with Outlook or ical

Hi,
I am having a problem when I sync my (PC) outlook calendar to my iphone(OS4.1) or ipad.(And my wife is having exactly the same problem when she syncs her iphone/ipad with her macbook pro (she uses ical/snow leopard)).
I live in a time zone that is GMT +3hrs. There is no summer time change here. Both devices are set to GMT +3Hrs with no summer time changes / daylight savings.
Every month I upload a calendar electronically to Outlook (from a program called Roster2Outlook) and occasionally enter some data into it manually on my PC and on my iphone/ipad.
The problem is this:-
When I sync my PC with my iphone/ipad the times on the iphone/ipad are always 1 hour later than displayed on my calendar in outlook on my PC. I then have to modify the times on my iphone and take off 1hour. If I enter an event on my iphone it appears in my calendar in Outlook 1 hour earlier (after a sync).
I get several monthly changes to my schedule and then when I update my outlook calender and sync it to my iphone again, all the times appear 1Hr later on my iphone and have to be manually adjusted.
This may seem trivial, but when one event is added on one device and it shows up at a different time on another device, it gets very confussing, as you never know which time is correct in your calendar, as it depends on which device you entered it and whether you synced it or not! I am tearing my hair out.
I also sync my calandar to my ipad, which appears to be doing the same thing.
So, to cut a long story short, any idea's why this is happening and how to fix it? (Please don't tell me I have the wrong time zone set on a device - because I haven't - they are all on the same time zone!)
I did have an idea that I could "shift" the calendar that I electronically upload to Outlook back by 1 Hour, so that the times would be 1Hr wrong in outlook but correct on my iphone and ipad (the devices that I predominantly use) but this still doesn't solve the problem of it being a bodge!
Any ideas / solutions much appreciated. Anyone else having this problem?
Please help!
Cheers,
i eye.

I figured out my iPad sync issue. First of all, I swore up and down I had all my time zone preferences set correctly in both google calendar and on my iPad. I was wrong.
There are two places in google calendar that can cause an issue:
(1) Settings>Calendar Settings>General
(2) Settings>Calendar Settings>Calendars>[Individual Calendar]
There are two places on the iPad to check:
(1) Settings>General>Date & Time (however I think this might not do anything because.....)
(2) Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Calendars>Time Zone Support (this was the elusive one for me)
But It's fixed now and I'm happy.

CONTACT NAMES NOT DISPLAYING & TIME FORMAT CHANGING AFTER SYNC

i live in kuwait and i was just gifted an officially unlocked 3g iphone from new zealand. i upgraded to 2.1. i have 2 problems
1. i have synced my contacts from address book. the format that it is stored in is +965XXXXXX. 965 is the country code for kuwait and all numbers in kuwait are of 7 digits. there is no area code as this is a small country. when someone calls me their name does not appear. only the number appears
2. i have set the time format on the iphone to the 24 hour format but every time i sync with my macbook the time format changes to 12 hour format.

Follow this procedure to get your contacts back (I assume they are on your Mac/PC):
1. Go to Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars
2. Select your account which has the contacts you wish to sync
3. Turn syncing for Contacts to "Off". This will bring up a box telling you your iPhone is turning off Contacts. My iPhone actually hung at this stage, so after several minutes, I performed a hard restart (holding down Home and power buttons for 5 sec.)
4. Exit from Settings
5. Go to Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars
6. Select your account which has the contacts you wish to sync
7. Turn syncing for Contacts to "On". This should restore your contacts
8. Go to Contacts to verify. They initially may not appear or just show up as numbers for a second or two, but then your contacts should appear.

Error enabling "Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks with Outlook" in iCloud 3.0 Control Panel

"Setup can't continue because Outlook isn't configured to have a default profile. Check your Outlook settings and try again."
Have tried the following:
Uninstalled / reinstalled iCloud 3.0 control panel
Removed all mail accounts from Outlook 2013 except MS account
Confirmed Outlook was chosen for “Always uses this profile” under Control Panel – Mail (MicroSoft Outlook 2013) – show profiles
Still get the same error when trying to enable the option under iCloud 3.0 Control Panel
PC is running Windows 8.1 (64 bit)

Two more things:
First, sorry for the bad spelling, grammar, and all of that. English isn't my first language and I'm so frustrated at this point I'm not paying any attention to it. Sorry!
Second, after trying to repair again the icloud 3.0 through the Control Panel of Windows, guess what? It made Offce to crash again! Now I will have to install it again.

Changing Mail, contacts, calendars name field

hello probable something simple but how do i permanently change the Name Field in the "Mail, contacts, calendars" setup.
I press details to enter my own but each time i do the name field is over-written with a previous owner or user of the mac.
Until this is complete i cannot sync contacts and calendars as i want to, using OS X Mountain LIon.

Go to System Preferences > iCloud
Sign out of the current Apple ID
Sign in with your ID.
System Preferences > Users & Groups
Change name for current User.
However, I HIGHLY suggest that you create a new User and move all your data to the new User or do an erase and install.
1) Move to a new User. See directions here:
Move your data to a new User or a new Mavericks partition**
2) Backup your data to an external drive using clone software. While booted from the clone erase the internal drive and reinstall OS X.
**(Fair disclosure: NeedHelp4Mac is my site. I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.)
Both of these applications can be used to create a clone.
SuperDuper! http://www.shirt-pocket.com/

You will need an external drive to create the clone unless your internal drive is large enough to create a second partition large enough to hold all your data.

How do I change/add a new Default account to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendars/Contacts ?

I've set up my home PC and using MS-Outlook to harmonize email from several accounts. I want any Contacts added through the iPhone-4 to synchronize with a specific email account (e.g. it is Yahoo now and I want to change it to another.) However, in Settings-Mail,Contacts,Calendars-Contacts there is no button or other Edit feature that allows or enables change of Default Account. Any experience or ideas for me?

Wish i could call that a good try,... No my other email accounts don't appear in that Default Accounts list. So, I'm forced to delete those email accounts and reconnect them, EXCEPT when i do that any contacts in the iPhone will also be deleted and only available in a backup, which will probably cancel the new account set up,.. Want to try again?

Mail contacts calendars missing in settings after 3.0

After I upgraded to the 3.0 firmware, the mail contacts calendars section under settings is missing completely. Anyone experienced this or know of a fix short of wiping the phone?

I can confirm that what /Esnes/ suggested fixed the problem of having no Mail, Contacts, Calendars option in Settings.
I wonder what other options are m.i.a. due to apps being 'hidden' or 'tucked away' in a 'folder'? Has me curious.
Thanks, /Esnes/! No idea why contacts are sorted by Last, First by default... maddening!

Generally that is a sign that the iPhone had previously been jailbroken
or hacked to work with other than the original wireless provider. The update
has relocked the iPhone to the original wireless provider. You must
contact them to see if they provide unlocking and if you qualify.
If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at
Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

I recently updated to Yosemite and now I am having problems with the above mentioned apps, not opening at all.
I am unable to check to which version its update to, or even update to next version.

You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below. If you use any iWork applications, you may need to delete them and redownload them from the App Store.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.
