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.

Playbook sync with BB

I synced my Playbook 2.1 version OS with my BB Pearl using OS5.0 but the calendar do not sync; a new appointment on one does not show on the other in either Gmail or Default calendar? Yet Sync appears when prompted. Is this a compatibility problem with OS 5? thnx

hmm... it should!
Can you go to your Gmail account online, on a PC browser and add a calendar event and contact, and see if both sync to your BlackBerry Pearl and to your PlayBook?

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.

My Playbook does not sync with my desktop

I have a problem that my tablet will not sync with the desk top, the desktop sees the tablet but will not map the hard drive or allow access to the hard drive so i cant transfer files or music , I am at my end of the rope trying to fix this anyone help?

If you have a wifi router and you don't mind manually transferring files try wifi sharing.

File sharing is quicker and more reliable than sync, and more reliable than backup/restore

Looking for a notetaking app that syncs with PC

I use playbook for mobility but PC for work. I am looking for a (simple) note taking app that will allow me to sync with PC - preferably via dropbox. I used to use cintanotes on PC but that doesn't sync to PB. Looked at Evernote but seems bloated and some adverse reviews. Some others exist by seem to have issues also - eg Simplenotes. Anyone out there found a good working solution?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

One named NotePad is free, saves as .txt files.
Another, WriterRoom, costs $1.99USD, and saves as .txt and .doc files.

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.

When Syncing with Desktop I get a error message "Record with Specified fffffeoa not found

I can sync with my desktop using my Playbook but will not sync with my 9700 bold and receive this error message.

You're most likely gonna have to backup, then erase your phone, as described here:

Google Calendar, 2-way syncing with Q10. Please help!

Dear Blackberry,
I have just bought a Q10 and have been successfully using Google calendar with 2-way syncing on an old Blackberry Curve 9300, for which I have Blackberry desktop software. I have not yet switched my phone number to the Q10, but have hooked up it up to wifi at home and have managed to sync my contacts and my existing Google calendar on the new phone.
However, I have noticed that the 2-way syncing feature, which i use extensively, is not working now with either phone when I put in appointments. I must have a 2-way sync with Google calendar; in other words, anything put into the phone needs to be synced and backed up in Google calendar.
Please can you suggest and help with this issue!
Thanks,
Pam

I referenced https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/calendar/asIbCtGjIho
and I have the same setup on my phone and google calendar is working fine.
On the home screen, swipe down from the top bezel and select Settings.
Select Accounts>Add New Account>Email, Calendar and Contacts>Advanced Setup>CalDAV.
On the CalDAV screen, the Description field is optional, but can be filled in for clarity.
Enter the full email address in the Username and Email Address fields.
Enter your gmail password in the Password field. Use the Show Password checkbox to ensure it is correct.
In the Server Address field, enter https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/(emailaddress)/events
Where emailaddress is your gmail address.
Set sync Interval as you whish.
Click Save.
Here is some more information:

I am trying to put the music from my ipod onto my new computer. After installing itunes and connecting my ipod touch a message comes up saying that my ipod is already synced with another library. What can I do to sync it with a new library?

I recently got a new computer and got rid of my old one. I am trying to put the music from my ipod touch onto my new computer but keep getting a message saying that my ipod is already synced with a library and cannot be synced with more than one. How do I access that library on my new computer and if I can't are their other ways for me to put the music on my ipod into my new computer?

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.

You cannot use ActiveSync for that, but there are SharePoint clients for the iPhone. Windows Mobile 7 natively supports SharePoint with SharePoint Workspace Mobile, part of Microsoft Office Mobile. Android and BlackBerry might also have some apps.

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
one more bug in a complicated system I guess

Why does my ical on my ipod touch not sync with my ical on my desktop if I put in an event on the ipod calendar?

Why does my ical on my ipod touch not sync with my ical on my desktop imac ical?
It will if I put it in on my desktop though.
Please help,

Probably because you did not tell the iPod to sync the calendar in iTunes.

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes. it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted. Any suggestions?

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Then try restoring again.
