Outlook Recurring Meetings Never Fully Synch'd

Intellisync seems to be confused about my Outlook 2007 recurring meetings. I haven't deduced a definite pattern yet, but the basic problem is that the Tour 9630 and the Outlook calendar never seem to think they're synchronized. I have two-way sync enabled. I push the "Synchronize" button and I accept all changes. I then push "Synchronize" again and there are more changes. I accept all changes, but the next "Synchronize" shows more. This never seems to end. The changes seem to center around old instances of recurring meetings being copied from the device to the calendar. I tried the "Re-Sync" button on the "Confirm Calendar Edits" dialog, then I restarted Desktop Manager and Outlook, but the problem persists.

That's seems odd per:

What is the user experience?
Have you followed all the decommission steps? Have you tried Move-CsConferenceDirectory:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412968.aspx
"When you create a dial-in conferencing Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), those URIs are assigned unique SIP addresses. However, SIP addresses are difficult to translate to devices that are not SIP-aware; for example, a public switched telephone network
(PSTN) telephone can’t translate a SIP address. Because of that, Lync Server uses conference directories as a way to help these devices locate, and connect to, dial-in conferences. This is done by creating a SIP conference directory that is associated with
each dial-in conferencing URI, and is identified by an integer value rather than a SIP URI. PSTN telephones and other devices can then use these numbers instead of a SIP URI when connecting to conferences; the directory number is included in the PSTN conference
identification users enter when connecting to a dial-in conference.
Occasionally, you might need to move a conference directory from one pool to another; for example, if you decommission a pool you might need to move your existing conference directories to a new location. The
Move-CsConferenceDirectory cmdlet enables you to move conference directories to a different pool."

IPhone + Outlook, recurring meetings not adjusted for Daylight Saving (Arizona)

Anybody else out there living in Phoenix and syncing with Outlook?
I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1 and I sync my calendar with Outlook 2007 running on Windows XP. Recurring meetings that were sent from another timezone are not showing the correct time following the Daylight Saving Time (DST) change on Nov. 6.
For example, I have a recurring meeting for Tuesdays that was originally sent to me July 26, 2011 (during DST, that is) by my customer in California. In Outlook the time is shown as 8:00 AM Pacific Time. During DST this meeting was shown correctly in Calendar as 8:00AM. Today it still shows as 8:00 but should show as 9:00 (8:00 PST = 9:00 MST).
Phone Settings: My iPhone's time zone was originally set this morning to "Set Automatically ON" and it had selected Denver although I'm in Phoenix. I understand that Denver and Phoenix now share the same time. I turned "Set Automatically" off and selected "Phoenix, U.S.A." then resynced, but the appoinment above still shows 8:00.
So how do I fix this? I really don't want my customer to have to resend the invite just to fix an iOS bug.

Not sure if people are still looking at this post, but we did finally find a fix for the issue.
In the end we figured out that one of our exchange mail box users had something faulty in their profile. By "faulty", our exchange admins attempted to move the user's mail profile from one mail store to another, but exchange returned errors when attempting to do so.
In order to "fix" the issue we ended up deleting the mail profile completely from exchange and then recreating it from scratch - scary prospect when having to do this with someone high up the food chain... (prior export and reimport essential otherwise all data is lost)
(the user dealt with many meetings for multiple staff, and was a common factor between all users getting the issue)
I wouldn't call this specifically a MS issue as prior to ipad/iphones, these issues did not occur, and even while it was occuring, turning off mail on ipad/iphones meant the issue did not occur and other email clients had no issues at all
- so it looks like something in the iphone is not quite robust enough to be able to handle a few errors
(alternative theory: perhaps it is the iphone that created the issue in the first place??? We don't know when the issue with the actual mail account started and not enough resources to trowel through log files looking for a needle in a haystack)
Anyway, not sure if this will help everyone with the same issue, but thought I'd share our experience

Outlook Recurring meetings are deleted

I'm syncing my iphone 3g to outlook 2003. Outlook is synced with Oracle Collaboration suite.
What's happening is my recurrting meetings are being converted to non re-curring which is very frustrating as it's wipping half my week's meetings.

I had a backup. But it was of an OST file, which is the file that is kept on my local computer that corresponds to what is stored on my company's Exchange server. Since I was connected at the time to the Exchange server when iTunes wiped out my recurring appointments, the Exchange server got updated. But when I tried to restore the old OST file from my backup, Outlook complained that it was too old, and I had to delete it, and have Outlook create a new one from the Exchange server, which, of course, did not have the deleted appointments.
So then I disconnected my machine from the Internet, restored the OST file again, copied the recurring appointments from there to a local PST file, and then copied from the PST file back to the new OST file when I reconnected.
What a pain.

Outlook Sync Error with Recurring Meetings on SharePoint Calendar

We have a SharePoint (Foundation 2010) calendar that users also connect to Outlook (2010/2013). We are experiencing a problem with emailing recurring meeting requests to the SharePoint calendar; the item is received and populated properly on the SP calendar
but Outlook fails to sync the item.
The Outlook client then displays a send/receive error: [ Task 'SharePoint' reported error (0x80004005) : 'Failed to copy one or more items. For details, see the log file.'
] The error in the log file reads: "Error mapping item #140"
This issue only occurs when recurring meeting requests are emailed to the SP calendar list. Recurring meetings sync properly with Outlook when the meeting is created directly on the SP site and when created directly on the calendar view within Outlook.
I will appreciate any insight to this matter.
Thanks,
Josh

Hi,
This issue may occur if Outlook cannot connect to the Sharepoint List so that
Outlook changes cannot sync to the Sharepoint. Please try the following steps and check if it helps:
1. This error message could be caused that the PC with the Outlook installation couldn´t access the CRL from the HTTPS certificated used on the SharePoint server. To check that open the sharepoint Web site, and check the SSL certificate. There is an entry
for the CRL. Now check from the affected PC if the CRL could be accessed.
2. Check AAM configuration and we can try to browse the URL
http://intranet ; then we can recreate the connection to Sharepoint in Outlook, try to sync it and then check the result
See this thread with similar problem:

Since this question is also related to SharePoint, you can also post in SharePoint forum to check if we can get good ideas there:

Outlook 2007 Calendar Monitoring: track send event for recurring meetings

Hi,
I'm working on an Outlook 2007, VSTO 2010, .NET 3.5 add-in which monitors AppointmentItem objects changed on the user's calendar. Specifically I'm tracking the send event of the currently selected appointment in the calendar view. Currently my add-in is
set to cancel the send event and call Display() on the selected appointment instead.
I'm testing with Outlook 2007 SP3. The event handler is fired correctly for non-recurring meetings when the user changes the start or end time of the meeting and for recurring meeting occurrences / exceptions when the user changes the end time, but not when
the user changes the start time of a recurring meeting occurrence / exception. These are the specific steps:
Create a recurring appointment with e.g. 3 occurrences, add at least one attendee and send the invitation.
Set the Calendar to display a Week View.
Select the top edge of the first occurrence of the appointment created in step 1 and drag it upwards to increase the length of the appointment by half an hour.
Release the mouse button and press enter to confirm the change.
Answer 'Save changes and send update' in the popup.
At this point the addin should cancel the send event and display the appointment, but actually the event handler is not called. This behavior occurs only when I change the start time of an occurrence / exception. When I change the end time the event handler
is called correctly.
Do you have any clue why the event handler is only called for the one change and not for the other? How could I work around this issue?

Hi Eugene,
Thanks for your reply. Here is my code:
public class ExplorerMonitor {private Explorer explorer;private AppointmentItem selectedAppointment;
public ExplorerMonitor()
this.explorer = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveExplorer();
this.explorer.SelectionChange += new ExplorerEvents_10_SelectionChangeEventHandler(Explorer_SelectionChange);
private void Explorer_SelectionChange()
Selection selection = null;
object selectedItem = null;
bool eventsHookedUp = false;
try
// first remove the listeners from the previously selected item
this.StopSelectedItemMonitor();
selection = this.explorer.Selection;
if (selection.Count == 1)
selectedItem = selection[1];
AppointmentItem appointment = selectedItem as AppointmentItem;
if (appointment != null)
this.selectedAppointment = appointment;
((ItemEvents_10_Event)this.selectedAppointment).Send
+= new ItemEvents_10_SendEventHandler(SelectedAppointment_Send);
// Stop monitoring when the item is opened in an explorer window.
this.selectedAppointment.Open
+= new ItemEvents_10_OpenEventHandler(SelectedAppointment_Open);
eventsHookedUp = true;
catch (System.Exception exception)
logger.Error("Caught in Explorer_SelectionChange", exception);
finally
if (!eventsHookedUp)
// only release if we didn't start monitoring it
ComMarshaler<object>.releaseComObject(ref selectedItem);
ComMarshaler<Selection>.releaseComObject(ref selection);
private void SelectedAppointment_Open(ref bool Cancel)
this.StopSelectedItemMonitor();
private void SelectedAppointment_Send(ref bool Cancel)
Cancel = true;
this.selectedAppointment.Display();
private void StopSelectedItemMonitor()
if (this.selectedAppointment != null)
this.selectedAppointment.Open -= new ItemEvents_10_OpenEventHandler(SelectedAppointment_Open);

if (anObject != null && Marshal.IsComObject(anObject))
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(anObject);

Outlook Multiday/Recurring meetings move to the next day on iPhone/iPad and Outlook for MAC.

Exchange 2010 environment. Outlook 2007 and 2010 on Windows desktops. Multiple day appointments or recurring meetings in Outlook do not appear on the iPhone, iPad or Outlook for MAC with the same date. They are all moved forward to the next day. Single day or non-recurring meetings are synced correctly. Not finding much on this. All users affected with these devices.

i have the exact same situation... called Apple Care and they were no help without the $29 incident plan... hoping for a solution before i go that route

Having problems syncing recurring meetings from exchange

not only me on this version but many people in our company that use various versions of iphones and iOS are having problems getting recurring meeting exceptions to properly sync in the iphone calendar.
we use hardware 3GS, 4, 4GS and 5 - iOS versions are from early 5.x.x to the latest 6.1.4
it only appears to be the exceptions - also, it seems that the iphone calender sync issue is also preventing the recurring meetings from showing up in outlook - when you make an exception to the calendar item - it moves right back to the existing time slow.
suggestions?

Turn Off the icloud synch on all devices
Determine which device will be the inital source of contacts and add all the desired contacts to it. When you are done, turn iCloud synch back on for that device
Remove contyacts fort the other devices, then
Turn iCloud back on for contacts on all devices
It may take a little while for the synch to complete

Exchange Calendar Sync & Recurring Meetings

I'm having a problem with recurring meetings in my Outlook calendar. I have a Touchpad and Pre Plus synced to the calender. A couple of times when I recieved notice of a cancelled meeting for one occurence in a series, I clicked Remove from Calendar and it was removed from the Outlook calendar on my computer. It was not removed from the calendar on the Touchpad and Pre, even after syncing. If I try to delete the occurence from the devices it does not work - on the Touchpad the event disappears for a second or so and then re-appears. On the Pre it just remains on the calendar.
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

I found this Googling for more information.

Recurring meetings shifted wrongly after change of one occurrence

Hello everybody,
I observe an issue with instances of recurring meetings being wrongly shifted in time after changing date of one of the instances in the respective series (repeatedly and for different meetings/meeting series). It looks as if my current "distance" to UTC (including DST adjustment) is "re-applied" to the meeting instance (i.e. the meeting is shifted 2 hours forward compared to the original time; my timezone is GMT+1 and together with the current DST shift it equals to those 2 hours).
I use Q10 (SQN100-3, SW 10.1.0.1666) together with the BB Enterprise Server (BES) connected to MS Exchange plus MS Outlook 2007 on the desktop.
I haven't managed to discover all the dependencies and reproduce it reliably but the pattern is as follows:
- I have a recurring meeting (typically for half a year).
- I open one of the meeting instances in MS Outlook and change its date (e.g. move it by one week but without changing the starting and end time). An updated meeting invitation is sent to other meeting participants (I can see that it is correct in my "Sent" folder in MS Outlook and it also appears correctly in the MS Outlook calendar).
- Other meeting participants respond to my update request (I suspect that the problem is related to processing of these responses, but I cannot prove this suspicion).
- Later on I check my calendar (either on Q10 or MS Outlook) and realize that the meeting is wrongly shifted by 2 hours (or I don't realize it early enough and others start planning other meetings during the original timeslot since it appears free in my schedule on MS Exchange :-((( ). When checking the Sent folder in MS Outlook, there is no message about any further update of the meeting (which means that I couldn't have shifted the meeting by mistake myself, because MS Outlook 2007 simply doesn't allow you to save a meeting with changed times without sending an update request to other attendees); obviously, all the other participants still have the meeting scheduled with the right (original) time in their calendars.
I should add that this clearly started happening after I changed my BlackBerry device to the new BB10 version - nothing similar ever happened to me with the older BB devices (and corresponding BES version).
Anyone observing something similar? Is posting this information here sufficient for having someone from the developers having a look at this issue, or is there some other way how to pass it to the right people?
Thanks
Tomas

Hi again,
I have further analyzed the issue in order to find out dependencies on why it is shifted sometimes and sometimes not:
First of all, I can confirm that the shift is immediately triggered by opening certain invitation responses on my BlackBerry Q10 (while opening some other invitation responses does not trigger the issue). In other words - if I check the event on BlackBerry calendar just before opening the particular response from BlackBerry Hub and right after opening it, I can observe that it moved in the meantime.
Apart from the (so far confirmed) fact that it apparently happens only for irregular appointment instances from appointment series (as already indicated in my original submission), I have noticed that even different responses do or do not trigger the issue. In particular, I have noticed that responses from certain e-mail/calendar clients include information about the event with _wrong_ timezone information (as an example, a response from certain Windows Phone client ("PRODID=Microsoft Windows Phone") refers to "TZID=W. Europe Standard Time") and this response does _not_ trigger the issue, whereas a response coming from MS Outlook ("PRODID=Microsoft Exchange Server 2007") and correct timezone information (TZID="(GMT+01:00) Belgrade, Bratislava, Budapest, Ljubljana, Prague") _does_ trigger the issue. Obviously, the main issue is that invitation response should naturally _never_ trigger any update of the original event...
Hoping that this helps anyone to address the issue soon...

AssignedConferenceTypeByDefault setting for recurring meetings

I know that the default setting for the Lync variable "AssignedConferenceTypeByDefault" sets it so that your conference ID will change from meeting to meeting if changed from its default
value of true to false.
What I would like to know is what is the behavior of recurring meetings when this is set to false?
For instance when set to false, if I create three separate Lync meetings, I will have three unique conference ID's, but if I create one meeting which recurs every week on Monday at 8am, does that
conference ID stay the same for every one of those meetings, or does it change?
We have been doing some testing internally by changing the option in Lync Meeting Options, not changing the AssignedConferenceTypeByDefault
value and find that recurring meetings retain the same ID and does not change. I am just curious if this behavior will be the same when we change the AssignedConferenceTypeByDefault value
to false.

Hi,
AssignedConferenceTypeByDefault – Determines whether new meetings will be configured, by default, as public meetings. Set this value to True to use public meetings by default; set this value to False to use private meetings by default.
If you set EnableAssignedConferenceType to false, then no checkbox to customize settings,
outlook will always create a new private meeting with different meeting id. So when you create a recurring meeting, the conference ID will be the same when you join the meeting everytime.

Recurring meetings or tasks?

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to schedule recurring meetings/tasks/events in a users calendar?
Best regards,
John

Hi John,
Are you using Outlook for email? If yes, you could set up the meeting in Outlook and then sync to SBO with the Outlook Integration add-on. If other users are included in the meeting, this may be better since you can't invite/include other users in SBO meetings.
Otherwise, what you want to do is not feasible if you don't want to use Follow-up as a workaround (which I can understand since that's not what it is). It would probably be a SDK.

Lync 2010 Recurring meetings don't work post-migration when 2010 server is shut down

I've got an interesting issue here. I completed my Lync Server 2010 -> 2013 migration about 6 months ago, and everything has been going fine as far as I can tell. I left one of the servers up and running in the 2010 pool for a while. I finally decided
it was time to fully decommission Lync Server 2010, so I shut down my 2010 server. I did not delete from the topology just yet, in case something bad happened. Well, when I shut it down, I got reports from some users that they couldn't get into their Lync
Meetings.
The only conclusion I have been able to draw is that this happens for recurring meetings that were scheduled before the Lync Server 2013 migration. It seems that those meetings did not get migrated with the users. Does anyone have any guidance for this situation?
I'm guessing there's no way to actually move the meetings. At best, I'd like to simply be able to identify users who are in this situation and have them reschedule their meetings. I think there are few enough of them that we can handle that.

That's seems odd per:

Recurring Meetings Expired Notice sent to Meeting Organizer

Hello Exchange Experts
We have 14 month limit on resource room reservations..
Is there a way to get a reminder that recurring meetings are about to expire so that meeting organizer can extend the reservation if required
Thanks in advance for any assistance

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, there is no direct GUI method in both Outlook and Exchange server to achieve this goal.
Maybe we can ask Script Center for help.

App Store says I downloaded an app but it never fully downloaded?

So I was downloading an app (keynote) but it never fully downloaded. Like it froze mid download. So I refreshed the iPad and when I checked, it was nowhere in my apps. So I went back to the App Store to re-download it, but when I found the app, the only option was to "open", as if I had the app on my iPad. So I clicked "open" but nothing happened, the iPad just froze and crashed. I keep trying and the same thing keeps happening. So then I went to settings and found the app there, but the logo is all weird. But there's nothing I can do about it there. So I went to Search iPad and typed "keynote", but nothing showed up, as if I didn't have the app. So, summarized, I want an app that I don't have, but I can't download it because Settings and App Store think I already have it.
What should I do?
(For what it's worth, this is all from a brand new iPad mini)

you can restart and try again
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
or if you sync with a computer you could try downloading it to it and sync it down
or you could try to hold your finger on top of the icon until it begin ti wiggle and have an X which if pressed will delete the app so you can redownload it as one can only buy an app 1 time all other attempters to rebuy it with the same appleid will result in a free redownload
