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.

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.

N95 Only updating recurring calendar items from Ou...

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

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.

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.)

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

I am having trouble with the calendar displaying incorrect dates and times

I am currently receiving calendar invites that i know are displaying incorrectly in my calendar and i am unsure how to fix this.

Yes its all correct. I have just discovered that a separate calendar was set up with incorrect settings from the originator. I have checked all my settings and I'm good to go. thanks for your response

Calendar returns incorrect date

This is a snippet from an application I'm working on but I'm getting an unexpected problem.
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
String todayDate = Integer.toString(cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)) + "/" + Integer.toString(cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)) + "/" + Integer.toString(cal.get(Calendar.YEAR));
System.out.println(todayDate);When it outputs, the date I get is 17/9/2008 when it's actually 17/10/2008. Any ideas?
I know I can just do:
(cal.get(Calender.MONTH) +1)But that's just not right.
If anyone knows why this is happening, it would be greatly appreciated because it's just annoying me now.

Strange that month is zero indexed when day isn't. Seems a little inconsistent.No, it's consistent. It's just wrong (and really, really dumb)

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!

Found time to fiddle with a powershell script again and have run into an issue.

Is there a different way to ask for only the shortcuts in the directory?Ill add that the reason i want to remove these shortcuts is that the rest of the script pushes a bunch of shortcuts INTO this folder and i wanted to ensure any old shortcuts...

Can´t create an afternoon Outlook calendar item on iCloud

I am using iCloud to synchronize items with my Mac. Outlook is configured with three calendars, its native calendar tied to my Outlook email address, a second calendar that I do not use tied to a generic email address that I do use, and the iCloud calendar. I am on temporary assignment in Mexico and the standard language setup is the following: OS menus are in English. Outlook menus are in English. Email text editing language is Spanish. Calendar items are in Spanish. The date format is Spanish using a.m. and p.m.
If I try to create an item in my iCloud calendar from Outlook, it will not allow me to specify a time in the afternoon. Any attempt to do so still results in getting an appointment for the same time in the morning (or, rather, very early morning). For example, I create an appointment for 2 p.m. It ends up being for 2 a.m. If I change it to 3 p.m., it ends up being changed to 3 a.m.
The workaround is to set up the item in the Outlook calendar for either of the email addresses, then dragging it into the iCloud calendar. Alternatively, the incorrect item in the iCloud calendar can be dragged into the Outlook calendar, adjusted to p.m., and then dragged back into iCloud.
Naturally, this does not happen on the Mac.
Is anyone aware of a fix for this?
The Mac is a MacBook Pro running Mavericks, but this problem really happens independently from the Mac. The version of Windows is Windows 7 Enterprise, 6.1.7601 (SP1). I am using Outlook 2013. iCloud control panel is 3.1.

Taken from the main screen of the iCloud.com website:
"To use iCloud, first set it up with your Apple ID on a device with iOS 5 or a Mac with OS X Lion."
Did you follow this advice?

Outlook Sync Problem: Spontaneous Deletions of Calendar Items

Hi there,
Occasionally, my Microsoft Outlook (Office 2003) decides to delete calendar items on my Curve (Verizon) or vice versa. I try changing the sync setting to one way so that whichever device has for some reason lost data gets the calendar items put back in, but now my outlook is trying to delete those items from my device calendar even though I don't want them deleted. I don't have an extraordinary amount of entries (almost 1600). Any advice? This has started happening every 2 or 3 weeks.
Thanks!

PS I've been reading some other threads: wondering if my calendar events get corrupted when someone outside sends me a meeting invite (I'm not on an enterprise server). Those calendar events always seem to have conflict resolution issues between my device calendar and outlook calendar. Ideas?
(I deleted those invites off my outlook calendar and just typed in regular invites. Hopefully that will help)

Duplicate Outlook Calendar Items after upgrade to os5

Hi,
   I upgraded to os 5 the other day on my Iphone 4. I have an MSN email account with an MSN calendar. I have a lot of daily calendar items which are like reminders. I usually delete that days recurring reminder each day or 2 to keep a clean calendar. After I upgraded I switched to the Cloud. After that sync, I have duplicate calendar items for EVERY item on my calendar back years ago. This includes both onetime items and recurring (daily ,weekly, yearly) items.
   I found an old post that said to turn off sync calendar and deletethe items off the phone then turn back on. Well, I went into setting>mail>cloud and turned off calendar sync and waited 10 minutes. It deleted the duplicates but kept all the rest. I then went and turned calendar syncback on and all the duplicates showed up again.
   Any ideas on how to get rid of the duplicates?

I found the answer.
1. plug the phone in to your computer or wall plug or this does not work!
2. Go to settings>Icloud> and turn off calander sync. Then delete all items. Now your iphone calendar should be blank.
3. Now got to Icloud.com and log in using apple ID.
4. Look at your calendar. On the left edit your calendars and remove all of them. Now your cloud calendar should be blank.
5. Now go back to your Iphone cloud setting and turn calandar sync on. After awhile your Iphone calander should match your Outlook calnder and your Icloud calander should too.

Outlook recurring events not showing in calendar

Syncing my iPhone to MS Exchange.
I see in Outlook 2010 calendars, all the recurring events I have.
In particular, I see some birthdays in the current week, but on my iPhone 4s, running IOS 5.1, I only see a couple.
More explicitly, there are 2 birthdays on the day that I am writing this question, only one shows on the iPhone.
Also, one for tomorrow does not show, nor does an anniversary 2 days after that.
There is no obvious reason for some to show and others to not show.
Additionally, birthdays do not show up in 'Day' view, only in 'List' and 'Month' view.
I have tried deleting my Exchange account and re-adding it.
I have changed all birthdays from 'Private' to 'Normal' confidentiality
I have tried editing events which don't show on the iPhone, in an attempt to make them appear.
I can see appointments I create on the iPhone, in Outlook within seconds.
I delete a test appointment in Outlook and it will disappear on the iPhone.
I am at a loss.
An explanation, or preferably, a fix, would be appreciated.
EDIT:
I found that 'recurring events which are ALL Day Events' do not show on the iPhone.
However, I can search for the event and find it, even though it does not display!

Yes, all of my recurring events that do sync were created years ago in Outlook and I had no problem syncing them to my Blackberry Bold way back when. Initially when I got my iphone 4, everything synced both ways and then this year I got an iPad and intitally everything synced with it via iTunes/outlook with no problem. I've only noticed this problem within the last month or so and it drove me crazy. I reset both my ios devices but I refuse to uninstall and reinstall Outlook or iTunes. I've seen tons of posts on here that say it afffects the cloud, exchange servers and itunes so it's not just us. I've sent feedback to Apple and received no response. Others have too. Apple is aware of it and doesn't have a clue what to do about it. It now affects other events for me so I'm thinking maybe it has to do with default reminders and other things between Outlook and the ios devices. Maybe and update to iTunes or ios6 will change that, who knows. I still love my iPhone and would't go back to Blackberry; it's just way to slow for me.

Is there a way to move multiple Calendar items from one date to another?

Hello. I have far too many Calendar items every day in my iCal. Until I finally pare them down to a reasonable level, I need to "reschedule" all of my unfinished ToDo items and reminders, to another day, later in the week.
There doesn't seem to be any "Select All" feature available.
Is there a way to move multiple Calendar items from one date to another?
Thanks in advance!

Still no ideas? Apple, please come up with a fix. Thanks.
