Outlook Recurring Calendar Items - cannot open single instance

Hi,
I have a customer recently migrated from Rackspace email to Office 365. Just this one user has some calendar issues.
She has a ton of recurring calendar items been migrated over.
Initially, connecting Outlook 2013 to O365, read calendar items fine
After a few days (Not sure what trigged this), the user cannot access single item of the recurring event, it gives error "cannot open, this might be temporary. You changed one of the recurrence of this item, and this instance no longer exists..."
for the same item, go to OWA to access, it's fine!
Can't figure out what's the issue. if it's corrupted item, why the server end/OWA is ok? If this is ok, why outlook sync was originally ok?
I think this is outlook issue rather than office 365?
Thanks for any suggestions!
John

Hi John,
Since it works correctly in OWA, there might be some corruption in OST file. We can try recreate the OST file and then test the issue again. To do this, exit Outlook, navigate to the .ost file and then rename it to .old. Then, restart Outlook to sync
a new one from the server. By default, the OST file is stored in the following folder path:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
Please let me know the result.

Outlook Recurring calendar items incorrect dates

I am using PC Suite 6.85.12.0 loaded on a Windows XP computer Service Pack 2 with the latest updates and two Nokia 6085 phones. I use MS Outlook 2007 with Microsoft’s Business Contact Manager installed. Connection is via Bluetooth.
I am only synchronising calendar items from the PC to the mobile phones and not vice versa. Non-repeating Outlook calendar items are shown on the correct dates and times. Repeating items are giving what seem like random dates but the same on both phones. I have not identified as pattern.
Any ideas?

If you look in the phone calendar menu, the supported recurrence pattern is as what you said. This is true for both my E65 and my old 7610. I admit that one cannot enter a recurrence pattern '2nd Wednesday of every month' directly in to the phone.
But synchronizing is another thing, I have been using such advance recurrence by entering them into Outlook 2002 and synchronizing them to 7610 for more than 3 years ! The phone, somehow, by connecting via previous version of PC suite, reflected exactly what I entered in to Outlook. Maybe the software just took the 'picture' of what appear in the Outlook calendar and translate into the format the phone preceived, without trying to match their structure. You should check this with those who wrote the old software. When I purchased the E65 three months ago, I can continue using such feature without any problems. Until I bought the new laptop and the old PC suite has gone with the old laptop. I have to download the PC Suite 6.85, I then started to have the problem. I have been looking for download site where I can get the old version, but so far not successful.
I am a business man, and when come to calendar I am a serious user. In business reality, you seldom have recurrent appointment like '9th of every month'. Because this month it could be Wednesday, the following the 9th is Saturday. If a phone system cannot meet advanced recurrent pattern requirement, you can no longer call it 'smartphone' or ultimately 'business phone'. I strongly believe Nokia marketing team would not agree with you.
You are a listening mechanism of a large organization. But your function is beyond listening but to hear. Do not jump to the conclusion that the customer is wrong too early. I spend much of my time explaining to you because I just want you to admit that the problem exist. If my voice is not heard you won't see me hear again, and my next phone won't be Nokia.

How do I prevent/fix iCloud from creating duplicate CONTACTS "notes" and recurring CALENDAR items?

I use a PC with Outlook 2010 at my office. At home I use and iMac. My mobile devices are an iPad & iPhone. I just upgraded all operating systems and switched from Mobile Me to iCloud. Everything (new appointments, new contacts) seems to sync as it should with a couple of exceptions;
1) In the "notes" sections of my CONTACTS I now have triplicates of all of my "notes" for each individual contact (with thousands of contacts it would be impossible to clean this up one at a time). Does anyone know how to easily fix this so that I only have 1 set of notes for each contact?
2) Regarding the CALENDARS...in Outlook and the other devices, I'm only running the iCloud calendars (all others are unchecked) however, there are multiple Calendars that seem to have been created. I've deleted all calendars that aren't necessary or don't appear to be used, however in my iOS devices (iphone & ipad) when I tap the CALENDARS button to open the SHOW CALENDARS pane, I can scroll down and see a section that says "Other" and has a "Birthdays" calendar which is obviously pulling the data from Outlook. This "birthday" calendar doesn't show up anywhere in Oulook. 95% of my contacts were originally created in Outlook and when known, I have put their birthdays, anniversaries, etc. in the corresponding fields. Normally, this would create a recurring event/reminder in Outlook but now I have 2 to 4 of the same event in each device. If I delete the redundant Birthdays/anniversaries, etc. (shown in grey & blue on my calendar vs. another little icon of a birthday present) on the iOS devices the calendar on Outlook will no longer show these events (90% of the time I'm relying on my Outlook calendar at work for these reminders). I would like to be able to see the same data as only 1 occurence of each event across each of my devices. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

The problem may be that the iphone is immediately syncing with icloud and losing the newly restored data. You might turn off your router. Once restored, turn off icloud on the device, turn on the router, then turn on the iphone.
(I'm going by memory on this, and that hasn't been too reliable lately.)

I am using version 7 PC suite and Outlook 2003
Recently when syncronising it only updates recurring calandar items and not normal appointments into the phone.
Can anyone help, Thanks

I use the Google Calendars for pretty much everything, and the "Goosync" service to synchronise it with my mobile...
That way you can create an event in the Google Calendar, and set it to repeat as you wish... Then sync it to your mobile...
There's probably other ways, but it's not a big issue for me, so that suits me fine

Cannot open separate instances of Lookout

I am modifying an old Lookout process that was not a client /server setup. I want to make a copy of the program, one to be renamed and used as the server process and the other copy to be used as the client process.
In the server process I want to keep the data member configurations that connect to all the field devices and delete all the controls, ie pots, control panels, switches, expressions, etc.
In the client copy, I'll delete all the connections to the field devices and use the existing graphics, pots, switches, expressions etc and link them to the server via a symbolic link.
I'm following the steps in the Lookout Developers Manual (3-10) but I can't get Lookout to open in a second instance. It opens my Client process in the same instance as the Server process which doubles the amount of points I have, which exceeds the licensed I/O count and and then it goes into a 2 hour automatic shut down which doesn't give me enough time to delete enough points to get under the licensed I/O count. And you can't save any changes unless you're within the licensed I/O count.
Is there a setting which allows opening of 2 instances of Lookout or would it matter anyways as the total points in the 2 instances would still exceed the licensed I/O count.

Lookout cannot run two instances at the same time. The manual is maybe for previous version of Lookout, or it's wrong.
Only the server process should count the io points. The client process uses symbolic link, and it's io point should be zero. See the attachment. process1 is the server process, process2 is the client. I create a symbolic link in process2, and drag an item onto the panel. This point is counted only in process1. How about your client process? Does it also count all the I/O points?
Please save the process after you modify it.

Outlook - Recurring Calendar Meetings

I have a recurring calendar meeting set up for our company's monthly team meeting. The attendee list is a global distribution list. The distribution list is updated automatically when we hire new associates. Do I still need to send a meeting
request to each new associate?
Thanks,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
Yes, we need to send the monthly team meeting to the new hire. The meeting request is only sent to the old distribution list members though the distribution list is updated automatically. Therefore, the meeting request can be updated with new users
added by the following steps:
1. Open the created meeting request in Calendar.
2. Add new users in the TO field of the meeting request.
3. Click Send Update to send the changes, then a Send Update to Attendees dialog would pop up.
4. Check Send updates only to added or deleted attendees, and click OK.
Then the meeting updates would only be sent to new users.

HT1386 calendar items cannot be synced on iphone from computer

Hi there, I am trying to sync my iphone with my computer calendar. I have not previously had a problem doing this, but in the last week, the calendar entries on my computer do not properly reflect the entries on my iphone. I have even done a complete restore on my iphone, and have just resynced. Now I get a message, saying that 497 items could not be synced.
Any suggestions to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. I backup to my computer (not icloud).
Thanks

Is there a way for you to disable the firewall and your anti-virus software? That should help.

Unable to set monthly recurring calendar items for...

Due to the inability to sync Thunderbird calendar with my 2630, I have resorted to re-entering appointments into my phone via PC-Suite. The only problem is, I have a number of recurring monthly appointments that occur on say 1st Monday of the month etc, but PC-Suite insists on only adding them based on the day of the month the initial entry - ie 5th of each month. Is there a way I can alter the way such recurring events are handled? Any ideas appreciated

Outlook 2010 Calendar Problem, Cannot see acceptance

Hello
I'm having a problem, It can be a permission problem.
User01
User02
User03
User01 creates a Meeting and invites User02 and User03.
How Can User02 and User03 see which ones have Accepted the Meeting request or Declined, User01 can see who accepted and declined because he created the Meeting, but how can I manage so others can see who clicked on Accept/Decline.
Have a good day

Hello
About the Tracking, that doesn't help if you are not the Meeting Organizer Jimmy, that's what I have thought out my self.
as Ultra_cool also describes the Tracking seems only to be available as Meeting Organizer.
I way to solve this is by permissions, grant permissions to a user on the meeting organizers calendar.
It's not a perfect way, but It's still a way to manage this and you can manage what type of Permissions you want to give to the user/users, so they can't delete anything from your Calendar and only be able to see the information.
If you are a group in a company that always have meetings you can probably set up a group and give them permissions to the meeting organizer and have less job to do.
Thanks alot for the answers! and have a good day

Cannot open OLAP instance manager from oem

When I tried to connect to the OLAP Service Instance Manager from OEM, I got the XPINSMGR-10565 and when i tried to start the olap service from control panel I spotted the error "......error 2"

i already unlock and change password for user : OLAPDBA,OLAPSYS,OLAPSVR and SH during instalation Oracle database but i don't understand because that schema unlocked but the password that i fill was not applied.
Now i can not change their password, can explain how to do it..??
Now i use Oracle Database 9.0.1.1.1
and Oracle OLAP 9.0.1.0.1
so, it match or not..??? As SYS, login into OEM and in the Security node expire these OLAP passwords. Enter in new passwords and unlock them.
No, the Oracle Database and OLAP versions are not a mismatch. This combo version tells me you are running on the Windows platform. After you do get the initial release of OLAP up and running, it is highly recommended that apply the RDBMS patch set 9.0.1.3 and OLAP patch set 9.0.1.2.1.

Appointments not showing up in Outlook until calendar view is changed

I realize there are 3 other threads regarding this problem, but none of the answers have worked. I've tried the "Outlook.exe /cleanviews" and I have made sure that the Month view is set to High Detail. The problem persists that when the user
opens the calendar (defaulted to Month view, high detail) only the recurring appointments are displayed. The non-recurring appointments will show up after the user switches to week, day, or schedule view and then back to month view.

Are they using account with Exchange online mode or cache mode?
Does the calendar item store in OST file, PST file or mailbox database (online mode)? If you are using cache mode, please try to rename the old OST file or create a new PST, and then create a new non-recurring calendar item to check the result.
Please let me know the result when you launch Outlook with safe mode.
By the way, you've not detailed the Outlook version and Exchange version. Feel free to post back. Thanks.

Attempting to delete future occurences of Calendar items.

I cannot delete Calendar items that are recurring (set to occur weekly, monthly, annually). When I do, they pop right back in. When deleting a recurring calendar item, the options given are: "Delete All Future Events" and "Delete Only This Event". Neither option works for me - the calendar items pop back in within seconds. How to resolve this? I can only delete single-occuring calendar items. Thank you!

Iphone 5c, i cannot open emails that have multiple threads?

I can open some of my email in my outlook account, however I cannot open an email that is part of a conversation with multiple threads? Any help is appreciated!

normally this means you are not or cannot connect to Apple server. Usually this is from a line in your Hosts file directing traffic away from the Apple server.
Open your Host file using Notepad and see if you have a line that reads gs.apple.com if you do you will need to remove this line and you will be able to Restore after.
You can Google or YouTube "how to edit host file" for help.
