Outlook Sync - Multiple Calendar Problem

(I am not sure whether this belongs in this Forum or would be more appropriately directed to my Device (Curve 8900) forum or Desktop Software. Please advise or re-direct if that is the case.)
I am having a sync issue with Outlook, and it revolves around the issue of having multiple calendars on the Device, each of which is associated with an e-mail address. I understand this has been a relatively common question; however, although I admittedly may be looking in the wrong place, I have yet to come across a comprehensive solution.
I understand how to switch the "default" e-mail associated with scheduling items on the calendar, and I believe I'm correct in thinking that this is what syncs with Outlook. I've noticed that when I try switching the default, Outlook wants to delete all other appointments which are NOT associated with that device calendar.
So I guess my specific questions are:
1) Is there a way to have Outlook sync with ALL calendars on the device, i.e. not just the default? It's easy enough to make all appointments from here on out with a single account & have that be the one that syncs; however, it doesn't seem possible to do that without having Outlook want to delete all other appointments.
2) Is there a way to change the associated email/calendar for events on the Device? When I open an event, I can see which email/calendar it is but I don't know how to *change* it -- I only seem to have a choice when scheduling new events.
If either of these was an option, I think that would solve my problem -- I could either go through the device & convert everything to the default email/calendar & everything would be there upon sync, OR Outlook would just pick up everything from all calendars when I sync.
I don't understand why it's so complicated to have everything in one place!
Thanks in advance to those willing to share their wisdom & advice in this matter.

About sync multiple calendar to outlook

I would like to ask the result of sync multiple calendar from iPhone IOS 6.x to outlook issue.
Our users are using Outlook 2010 and had a primary mailbox for their own mailbox, and a shared mailbox for the Shared Calendar issue.
The iPhone had multiple Calendar there, if the user use itune to sync the calendar to Outlook 2010:
Will the multiple calendar combine into one calendar in Outlook 2010 and classified by Categories?
Which Outlook calendar will the iPhone calendars sync to Outlook 2010? Sync only to Primary mailbox or to both Primary mailbox and the shared caolendar?
On the other hand, as the Outlook 2010 has a primary mailbox and a shared mailbox, how would itune handle to sync the calendar to iPhone?
Please kindly help.
Ivan

Palm Treopro--Sync multiple calendars and task lists

I have more than one calendar and task list that I use in Outlook. Is there a way to sync multiple calendars and task lists on the Palm Pro?
Thanks,

I just upgraded to Pre 2 a couple weeks ago and have been experiencing similar problems with my Verizon model and a replacement. Apparently it is widespread; there is a lengthy (11 pages so far) thread on it in this Community forum. Try http://palm.lithium.com/t5/Synergy-webOS/strange-behavior-syncing-Pre2-Calendar-with-Google-Calendar... or Google the phrase "strange behavior syncing Pre 2 Google" (look for a search response that references "11 pages" or you'll miss some of the more recent posts). Not sure there are any good answers at the moment. Very disappointing if so; the Google/Pre sync worked flawlessly on my Pre Plus for the past 15 months (webOS v.1.4.5)

Problem Syncing Outlook....says outlook sync client encountered problem

I have been syncing outlook calendar and contacts from my PC to my iPhone with no problems. I have version 1.1.2 on my iPhone and 7.5 or whatever the latest is on iTunes software. The syncs were fine until recently and now I cant sync and get an error message that says "outlook sync client encountered problem" What could possibly have happened....I read some posts that say to go back to iTunes 7.3 etc....this has to be a common problem....any suggestions.

Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

How do you sync multiple calendars?

How do I sync multiple calendars with Outlook?

Well. I make an export Archive from iCal.
Then deactivate from the iPhone (Adjusts - iCloud) the Calendars.
For now, I will not use iCloud for calendars. I do not understand why we end with two Calendars. One from iCloud and one from the iPhone or the Mac itselves.
We must have just ONE calendar for all.
I use CalAlarm app from Devart and with the iPhone icon selected on iTunes I had to uncheck and check on Information label Sincronize Calendars of iCal.

Syncing multiple calendars to a Nokia N70

Hi there
This is my first post and I hope I'm not duplicating any previous ones.
I have just bought a new Nokia N70 and I am very pleased with it - I'd highly recommend it as a solid phone. In the near future, I'll be getting a GPS for it and also hope to use some kind of Office package on it.
I'm using OS X 10.4.6 and found, once I'd activated Bluetooth, iSync worked straight away and synced my Address Book (with pictures) and iCal. My question is this though - has anyone tried syncing multiple calendars and kept the categories on the phone?
The built in calendar on the N70 doesn't appear to support categories, well certainly nothing you can customise, so I downloaded a trial of AquaCalendar which does. However, when I synced, all the category information was lost. Syncing back to the Mac, you can tell iSync to place items created on the phone to a specific calendar, so that's ok, it's just the other way around.
Basically I have 4 calendars on iCal, 1 for me, 1 for my wife, 1 for Birthdays and 1 for UK Hols (subscribed) They have a particular colour and love the way iCal shows them. What I want is to transfer this colour set so I get the same thing on the N70. Anyone had any sucess with this?
Many thanks
Simon

langert3,
You would have to upgrade to Tiger to publish several calendars as a group.
Publishing calendars to .Mac: If you're using iCal 2.0 or later, you can create Calendar groups and publish them to .Mac. If you publish a Calendar group, all the events and To Do information from the calendars in the group is merged and published in one calendar. You can also choose to publish individual calendars in the group.Unfortunately that feature is not available in iCal 1.5.5.
;~)

Looking for calendar app that can sync multiple calendar colours in outlook

I Have multiple colour categories in my calendar but need a calendar app that can sync with outlook. Do NOT want to sync with google calendar. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi ron1098,
Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

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

Outlook Sync (Contacts/Calendar) Issues - Progress today........

Folks,
I posted another earlier discussion on this topic over the weekend, but since I got my iPhone on Friday, I have probably burned about 20 hours working trying to figure out why I cannot sync my calendar and contacts from Office 2003 "OR" 2007 into my iPhone. When I started this process, 584 of my 1310 contacts did sync, I had NO luck on getting any of calendar items to sync.
Today we resolved the Contact issue!!! Still working on the calendar issues and if anyone has any further ideas, I am open to it, but it appears for both the contacts and calendar issues, I had corrupt data. You dont know it until encounter it this way.
Here is what you need to do in order to get the contacts to sync, it worked for me, hopefully it will work for many after me:
1. Export "ALL" of your contacts to a .CSV (Comma Separated Value for Windows) file. Just export them to your desktop or somewhere easy to find them. As an extra safety net to ensure you dont lose your contacts, back them up also to a .XLS file as well as a .PST file.
2. Delete "ALL" your contacts out of Outlook. Sync Outlook, especially if your like me and have your contacts and calendar on a corporate exchange server. Be sure you clear your iPhone so there is no contacts on it.
3. Import the .CSV file to a VCARD file, sync to your coporate server, sync your iTunes and you should now see all your contacts.
Again, it worked for me and hopefully it works for you.
Good Luck!!

Everyone is waiting for this.
Right now you cannot sync locally between your phone and your desktop. You are forced to upload your contacts to another company's server (read "the cloud") and then download them from whatever device you didn't upload them from.
Still waiting for this fix please.

Can i sync multiple calendars

I have to mail accounts on my iPhone - MobileMe (Mac Mail) and an Exchange Server Mail (Entourage). Currently I have the calendar on for just Exchange Server Mail. Can I turn on the calendar syncing function for the mac mail account too and have all of my information together in my calendar on my iPhone?
thanks

Sorry to re-open this... I'm glad to know that it works... but, how do you get the multiple calendars to sync and multiple contact lists to be recognized...?
Thx in advance

Google Calendar sync & multiple calendars

Hi,
I've got an unlocked Pre2 & 2.1.0. I'm using a gmail account (calendar, mail, contacts, im), facebook, yahoo (im only) and palm accounts.
My main one is gmail, and I've got 7 calendars.
I've noticed after a doctor that I lost some appointments, so I've been playing a bit. It seems my main calendar is synchronizing fine, but the others are not (or not always).
I've already done the following things, read in the internet:
1. I've removed the gmail account completely,
2. I've set backups off (they've been deleted server side),
3. I've rebooted the Pre2,
4. I've added the gmail account again,
5. I've set backups on again -and made a backup-.
All tests are being done after those 5 steps. Some examples:
a. Appointment created through the PC, calendar called "Joan i Pep", shows fine on the Pre2
b. Appointment created throuth the Pre2, calendar called "Joan i Pep", doesn't show on the PC
What can I do to debug it? Any hints?
TIA

HT1694 Does iCal sync multiple calendars from Windows Live or just one?

I'm considering moving from WP7 to an iPhone since Sprint won't carry the Z10 or WP8, but I need to be able to sync multiple Windows Live calendars to even consider it. I have about 12 setup that sync perfectly with my PlayBook and my HTC Arrive. To make the switch I have to be able to keep that sync capability. Thanks for the info!

Hello
I can offer no help, but sympathize with your dilemma. I love that you can set up several calendars on iCal and view only what you want. I have set up calendars for b-days, bills, school, work, my wife's school..... and I love how uncluttered the separate views are.
It sounds like the only option would be (and Apple must love this!) to purchase an iPhone or iTouch so that you can just keep your calendar with you, and forget about accessing your iCal on any PC.

Outlook/iPhone Multiple calendar sync

Hi
I have a work calendar in Outlook, driven from Exchange and a second personal calendar containing things that don't apply to work (birthdays, social events and so on). While both calendars appear in Outlook, I can't get the personal calendar to sync with the iPhone at all. In iTunes, the Exchange calendar appears but not the personal calendar.
How do I sync with the iPhone (its my first iPhone - a 3GS so I think I'm running the latest OS etc) so I get both calendars on view?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Mike

I have both a .mac account and an outlook account. My .mac acct is used for my personal entries and syncs with my iphone as well as my mac computers at home. My outlook calendar syncs my work items from my pc at work to my iphone. My problem is everything syncs to my iphone, but outlook won't sync to my .mac and .mac won't sync to outlook. This causes me to have multiple entries on my phone because I will enter something on my .mac calendar, but, because it doesn't show up on outlook, I then add it to my outlook calendar and then i have the same entry entered twice on my iphone. What a pain in the butt. Is there an end run around this?

Solving an Outlook sync time mismatch problem on iPhone calendar

I was recently in spain and my time automatically updated. I was using automatic time zone correction in Settings/General/Date & Time with "set automatically" and under calendar "time zone support" was "ON".
However, upon returning home, apparently, that "auto time zone" didn't work properly. My time updated properly, and everything else was fine, but upon my next sync, all of my appointments were 4 hours off. (my trip to Spain had a 6 hour difference... so it wasn't exactly that).
By going into Settings/General/Date and searching for a city in my time zone, and selecting it, my calendar items' time was corrected.

Based on your response it sounds like this particular featureset is a bit more capable and complex than I'd originally hoped.
I didn't recall choosing any city while in Spain, as the time on the phone updated on its own, and I hadn't started sync'ing the calendar with Outlook yet at that point.
When I returned home, I did my first calendar sync, and again hadn't chosen any city upon return, then after choosing a local city, the time corrected.
Everything is working fine now (as it wasn't posted as a question) but this is a discussion I hadn't found on here and thought it was a worthwhile discussion to have since I surely can't be the only person whose run into the misunderstanding in functionality.
