Playbook sync to outlook?

Pre-purchase Question:
Can Playbook sync with Outlook 2010: Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes directly through USB? Do not want "sky". Do not want to have to link through some intermediary program. Want a direct link to Outlook which will update Outlook & Playbook each time it is plugged in.
Thanks,
Tony

I don't even know what "sky" is in your reference, to comment on why'd you want to not want that.

Sorry, again, no. There is NO tablet of which I am aware which syncs directly to Outlook (not the iPad, Tab or Xoom). Your personal account BlackBerry handheld device WILL sync directly to Outlook when connected for calendar, contacts, tasks and notes, and business or BES accounts using enterprise mail will do so for messages.
Honestly, I think you need to reconsider your demands. The Playbook will serve you well, but with your demands, you'll be doing without any tablet (at least for now). Your "outlook" actually contains email messages from some email server... gmail, yahoo, a private domain, and THOSE domains are what we should be talking about for messages -- not Outlook.

  • Syncing with Outlook, faulty and unsuccessful

    I have read through some of the posts, and apologize if I missed one with the same problem I am having.  I was disappointed getting my Z10 initially when I wasn't able to sync with my outlook Calendar and Contacts.  However, that was quickly changed and is available on Link now.  However, I have a number of issues with it.  At the risk of putting too much detail, I have tried different settings for the sync, using the device as the main or the computer as the main source.  I have the latest version of Link, and have removed and reinstalled that software.  I also bought a new laptop a couple weeks ago, and attempted on this machine, only to have the same problems.  so here is a list of the issues I continue to have.
    Calendar:
    The most recent attempt, some of the data off my outlook calendar made it to my z10 but none of the information on my z10 went to the outlook calendar.
    Contacts.
    Creates duplicates of some contacts on both z10 and computer
    removed email addresses..  to do this, it created a duplicate address in my z10 than kept only that duplicate with incomplete information in the outlook contact file
    Crossed information between two contacts with similar names.
    In some of the contacts again on both z10 and computer, created a duplicate of information inside the contact itself, without creating a duplicate contact.  (  ie, if contact had two phone numbers and 2 email addresses, it now has duplicates showing 4 phone numbers and 4 emails,... other information also duplicated inside the contact)
    Before I got the z10 I was able to flawlessly sync between my phone my playbook and my outlook file on my laptop.  My current issues don't even address the lack of sync between the playbook and outlook now. 
    are these issues others have seen or experienced.  Is it operator error or is there a bug somewhere.
    Thanks in advance for any and all help

    I have the same problem with Q10 I just purchased this last week. Blackberry Link is the worst application I have used. Is Blackberry going to do anything about it? They should if they want to increase their sales, if the product is not working it puts a bad light on Blackberry. Please Blackberry do something, I want to see your success!!! THe current Blackberry LINK still has alot of bugs that MUST be fixed.....
    1. Performance very very slow hours to process
    2. incorrect or duplicated entries 3. unable to update both device and outlook, no choices
    4. unable to sync task and memos.

  • Playbook sync with PC

    My playbook syncs with my Torch 9860 no problem.  I would now like to sync my Paybook with Outlook 2010 on my PC so that I would have calendar and contacts to hand there too.  I Bridge on both Paybook and Torch, and calndar etc is available on my Playbook as long as my Torch is within Bluetooth range.  Any Ideas?

    Hi Anthony,
    The BlackBerry PlayBook cannot be synchronized directly with Microsoft Outlook. Are you using a local calendar in Outlook, or a calendar pulled from an online mail account, such as Hotmail or Gmail?
    Thanks.

  • Entries made in Sprint BB 8330 will not sync to Outlook Calendar

    I just got a Sprint BB 8330 and have set up 2-way sync for Outlook Calendar, Tasks, Memos & Address Book. The 2-way sync works for Tasks, Memos and Address Book except the Outlook Calendar. The Outlook Calendar syncs to the BB but entries made on the BB do not sync back onto the Outlook Calendar. I traded my Sprint Treo which worked perfectly with 2-way syncs on my Dell laptop using XP for this SmartPhone which isn't doing what it is said to do.  I have done quit a bit of research on this and found that this problem is happening to a lot of other users. We should file a class action suit against Blackberry since it is a common problem and they seem to being nothing to fix it that I have found but they keep on selling them.  Thanks for your help.

    Open up your Desktop Manager, then go to Synchronize/Configuration/Configure Sync. In there, you will find that you are only allowing synchronization one way...from your desktop to your BB. You can configure your synchronization from that screen so that it is bi-directional.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software will not Sync with Outlook

    Hello,
    I recently installed Blackberry Desktop Manager 7.1 for Windows on a PC and it will not allow me to sync with outlook calendar, memos and contacts.  It will however sync windows Contacts, if I try to select the option to sync with calendar or memos it gives me an error that now compatible software can be found and to visit blackberry.com/desktop/docs.  I am running Outlook 2010 32bit in Windows 7 with the latest Blackberry desktop software.  I am not to familiar with Blackberry so any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Well I believe I have figured out the answer to my own question, I ended up having to do a repair installation for Office 2010 and I was able to sync from outlook to the Blackberry.

  • Pearl 8110 will not sync with Outlook Calendar

    I have a Blackberry Pearl 8110, and I upgraded the Desktop Manager, then it quit syncing with outlook calendar.  It does sync with noes, memos, addresses, but no calendar.  when the sync is getting to the calendar it says "please wait" then just kicks me out.  No error message in the log, nothing.  I even retrograded back to 4.7.0.17, but no changed.  Here is what else I have:
    Blackberry 4.5.0 Core Applications 4.5.0
    Blackberry 4.5.0 System Software Properties
    Blackberry MDS runtime Properties 4.5.0.20
    The calendar is the big thing for me.  Any Ideas??
    Thanks

    I just wanted to let you know that I'm having the same problem with my 8120 and it started on the 18th.  I spent 3 hours, 39 minutes, and 42 seconds on the phone with BB support yesterday with no luck and we tried every trick they could think of.  I'll certainly let you know if I find any information since I too can't live without my calendar. 

  • Calendar Will Not Sync With Outlook

    Calendar won't sync with Outlook 2003. Tasks, memos, and contacts will though. Under default services, it lists Facebook as my Calendar (CICAL). What do I need to do to change this so that my calendar syncs properly?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I think I have the very same problem, but I'm not techno-savy enough to understand the solution. Can you elaborate more? Like where do I find "Default Services"? And, where do I find "CICAL"? Please, make my day. Thanks

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • How can I use iCoud to sync my Outlook calendar and contact from Parallesl?

    Before I switched to MAC, I used a PC and relied on Outlook for years.  Now that I use Paralles on MAC, I continued using Outlook.
    I have been using ITunes via a wire to sync calendar and contact info from Outlook also for years.
    With the launch of iCloud, I feel my way of syncing is outdated.  I have an IPad and tried to use iCloud to sync my calendar info to my phone, but didnt work.
    I was told that I could pick either method or but not both.  Technically, I could sync my Outlook info onto my iPhone first, and then turn on iCloud to synch those info to other iDevice right? Why didn't it work?

    I will address your second question.
    First, make sure your iPhone and iPad have absolutely identical Apple IDs.  If they do, use that Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your iPhone to select the "Notes" option.  Lo and behold, all your iCloud notes should appear on your iPhone.

  • How can I get iCloud to sync with Outlook 2011 calendars??

    Recently got a new MBA11 and use an iPhone and rely heavily on Outlook. All I want to do is be able to sync my calendars and contacts across devices. When I used to be on Windows I could simply do this with Google Calendars and Google sync.
    Outlook 2011 isn't or doesn't support syncing with google (not sure who's fault this is).
    I thought iCloud would fix this however iCloud creates new calendars in iCal that won't sync with Outlook.
    Does anyone know a work around?
    Personally I would have thought this kind of thing would be simple, easy and a necessary function whether it be on google, apple or microsofts part!!

    Microsoft have not made Outlook for Mac compatible with iCloud since they haven't bothered to include support for the industry standard CalDAV and CardDAV protocols iCloud uses.
    See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915
    Apple cannot do anything to rectify this, as they don't make Microsoft Office. It is in Microsoft's hands.
    It wasn't necessary to buy Office for Mac to sync with iCloud. All Macs come with all the applications required for syncing with iCloud for free.
    Use Apple's Mail, Address Book and iCal.

  • How do I remove one of the calendars from iCloud but keep it on the iPhone to sync with Outlook by USB and keep the other calendars synced on iCloud ?

    iPhone 5, Macs and iPads at home, Windoze7 system at work. 
    Using iCloud to sync calendars, contacts, etc on all the home devices.  Used USB cable to sync at work with the Windows system, with the Outlook 2010 corporate account (corporate server).  I need only the Outlook calendar to be synced, syncing the contacts created too many problems with duplication, etc.  No need for that.  Worked fine until the latest upgrate to iOS7 and iTunes 11.1.  Used to have a calendar that was not on iCloud and was simply and exclusively syncing between the iPhone and the Windows computer at work. The other 3 calendars synced fine with the macs and iOS devices via iCloud but not with the machine at work - keeping private records private.
    Upon the iOS upgrade, all calendars are now on iCloud.  I am no longer able to remove one - for security too - from the iCloud and sync it with the Windows computer exclusively.  I managed to sync it once on the PC with iTunes by switching iCloud off on the iPhone before connection by USB cable.  Trying it again, it tells me that it will erase all items on the Outlook account (the "more than 25% of your records are going to change" alert) and won't add or modify any.  I stopped the sync in time...
    Tried on the iCloud site for a solution to remove the calendar, nothing.
    There is no iCloud setup on this corporate computer - no access permitted. The USB cable connection is the only solution and up to the upgrade of the iOS this went seamlessly.
    Any solution out there?
    Thanks

    I share a similar situation (usb iTunes sync with Outlook with my corporate laptop; personal calendar on icloud).
    With IOS7, at first, iTunes/Windows does not propose Outlook sync anymore. I need to switch off calendar from iTunes to enable usual usb sync with Outlook. I had to sync it twice while checking "replace iphone data" to get a stable behaviour (like before) IOS7.When I try to re-enable icloud calendars, it proposes me to merge them...
    I did not test merging so far...
    IOS7 and iTunes 11.1 are not completely polished ;-)

  • Meetings created on Q10 do not sync to Outlook 2013 calendar

    Am using a Shaw email account on Outlook 2013. Just got the Q10 and cannot seem to sync. It syncs from Outlook to the phone but not from the phone to Outlook.
    BB Link ver 1.2.0.28
    Office Professional 2013
    BB Link does not throw and error messages and shows up as successful sync.
    Is it possible that the phone is not able to write to the Outlook pst file. But I would have imagined that it would throw an error message is what is confusing me.
    Has anyone else had this issue or something similar?
    There is an update for the phone but I did not apply it. I didn't want to mess it up further.
    The user was using a BB torch before and we moved him to the q10. He was having somewhat of a similar issue just that he would get meeting reminders but Outlook would not display them in the calendar. Now the q10 will not even send any of the calendar appointments to Outlook.
    Thanks for the help. If anyone can offer any suggestions

    LarryMcJ - 
    I read your first post and checked all the items you pointed out. I was already set up in the way you described but alas my problem remained. I appreciated the suggestions and checked them carefully but it had no effect on my problem.
    I found it interesting that I could change an item on the BB (no matter where it was created) and the change would propagate over to iCal but a new item created on the BB would not come over. I also tried using the click box to overwrite the BB from iCal but items created on my BB were completely unaffected by the sync.
    I had no calendars tied to the BB email addy. I did find that my calendars were somehow linked to various (random?) email addresses (I use 5). Things have started working better since I changed all the calendars to tie to one email addy. I was able to get Google sync to work without a hitch after about an hour of playing with it and there have been no problems since. Maybe RIM should try to hire some Google developers away ;-) 
    Anyway -  the headache and frustration were just not worth it. There may be a way to get my setup to work with DTM but, honestly, I don't have the time, patience or the hair left to pull out. I am no longer trying to find a solution - I have moved on.

  • How can I sync my outlook to icloud calendar?

    I have an iphone 4 and was wondering how I would sync my outlook office 365 calendar with my icloud calendar?

    You can sync by adding your 365 account under "Mail, Contracts, Calenders" "Add Account" then Outlook and finally enter your 365 email and password; the rest should happen automatically. Don't forget to go in to Sync settings in Outlook and click the things you want to sync.
