Problems syncing Outlook contacts, calendar etc with IPHONE?

After trying many options to fix this problem, the following was determined: If you were previously using another type of PDA/Smartphone with Outlook, your IPHONE may not properly sync your calendar, contacts, etc. For whatever reason, there is a conflict. SOLUTION: you need to save/export your contact/calendar info, then completely delete everything out of Outlook, then import back in. I wasnt able to do this w/2007, instead I exported and then made a new user profile (on my computer) and then dragged my saved files there. A minor pain in the a$$, but oh well. Thought I would pass this along, as it has to ******* someone else off as well! Good luck!

I thought I read somewhere that you had to make sure there were no other PDA plugins in Options>Other>Advanced options>COM Add-ins. I think if there is another plugin for a device other than the iPhone, it has problems.

ITunes 11.1.4 (62) can't find the info button to set up sync for contacts, calendars, etc.

I'm running iTunes 11.1.4 (62) and can't find the info button to set up sync for contacts, calendars, etc.

That option has been removed with Mavericks. Syncing for calendars and contacts etc can only be done through iCloud:

How do you correct the merging of contacts, calendars, etc with other members of your family on your account?

Wow!
I'm not going to be of much use regarding answers but I sure am going to watching this post like a hawk for any replies. My package is a slightly diluted version of this and I do find the BBtalk and data limits hard to make the most of as well.
If nothing else this totally highlights how complicated BT have managed to make their packages.
A cynic would assume that they are trying to catch us out at every step and for us to either be overspending or not really getting the moneys worth.

MiQ Live, free OTA sync of contacts, calendar, etc

There is a new app from Best Buy called MiQ Live
www.miqlive.com/
It will OTA sync your contacts, calendar, memos, tasks, AND media (pictures, vids) to their online site. It's ok if you trust them, and don't care that its Best Buy.
The cool thing is -- it works. I just went on the PC, signed in to my account, and there were all my BlackBerry contacts, etc, AND I can even SMS from the Desktop App.
I know if you are on a corporate BES this is not a big deal, but would be great for those on a personal BIS account who forget to do a wired sync, and your spouse/family and those who are not, for backups of data.

Syncing Outlook 2007 Calendar to my iPhone - HELP

Does anyone know the answer to this question below? I got my iPhone last Friday, immediately activated it, all went very smooth and very quick. When it came to syncing contacts and calendar, it did not work so well. Over the last week on multiple calls with Apple and Microsoft Technical Support, I was able to fix the contacts not syncing issue and all is working great. As for the calendar, I still am having problems and wondering if "ANYONE" has the answer? Initially I could not get any calendar events to sync. After exporting my entire calendar (530 items) to my desktop as a .CSV file, deleting my calendar off the corporate server and importing it back in, it finally brought over all my calendar events minus any recurring appointments. I am hearing it will "not" allow you to sync recurring appts which is a REAL PROBLEM!!
I still have a problem in that if I add a new event on my Outlook Calendar, sync both Outlook and the iPhone, it will not add the even to my iPhone.
If I add an event on the iPhone and do the syncs, it puts it on the Outlook Calendar. This is the craziest thing I have ever heard of.
DOES ANYONE HAVE A WORKING SOLUTION?????

If you are still having a problem synchronizing the Outlook Contacts and Calendar to the iPhone, even with the latest version of iTunes (7.3.1.3), the following steps may help. I've found these steps are the fastest solution until Apple releases a fix; hopefully with the next editions of iTunes.
Again, perform the following if, each time you try to synchronize your Contacts and Calendar from Outlook 2003 (or perhaps even Outlook 2007) to your iPhone nothing happens.
A. Open iTunes
B. Open Outlook 2003
C. In Outlook 2003...
1. Enter Tools -> Options
2. Select Other
3. Select Advanced Options
4. Select COM Add-Ins
5. Select Outlook iTunes Sync Addin
6. Click OK
7. Click COM Add-Ins again and verify "Outlook iTunes Sync Addin" is still selected; if it’s not selected perform these optional
steps, however if it is selected skip these optional steps and move on to step 8.
Optional Steps – Only necessary to perform this if the "Outlook iTunes Sync Addin" does not remain selected after following the
previous steps
Still in Outlook 2003…
a. Enter Help -> About Microsoft Office Outlook
b. Enter Disabled Items
c. Enable the "Addin: outlook itunes sync adding (outlooksyncclient.dll)
d. Click Close
e. Click OK
f. Start at the beginning of these steps
8. Click OK
9. Click OK
10. Click OK
11. Leave Outlook 2003 open
D. In iTunes…
1. Synchronize the iPhone
2. Everything selected should be synchronized. That should include Calendar and Contacts if those are selected.
3. You can then close or leave iTunes open; doesn't matter
4. Move on to the next set of steps.
E. In Outlook 2003...
1. Enter Tools -> Options
2. Select Other
3. Select Advanced Options
4. Select COM Add-Ins
5. Un-Select Outlook iTunes Sync Addin
6. Click OK
7. Click OK
8. Click OK

Sync email, contacts & calendar on Live, iphone, PC

I want to sync email, contacts, and calendar on my iPhone and PC just like
it did with my blackberry, but I want to use a live mail account (or gmail or
other provider if Live won't work). The iPhone web pages don't list Live email account information any more like they used to. So I'm not sure what is going on with Live email and the iPhone.
I have an iPhone 2G (just today updated to OS 3.1) with the data plan. I have a Live mail account that I'll be using if possible. I currently have the updated contact list and calendar file that I want to use in Outlook 2003 on my XP desktop computer. I want to PUSH these items onto the iPhone because they have been painfully updated (from multiple accounts from multiple pc and phone upgrades). I want to continue using Outlook on the PC if possible, but want to migrate to using my notebook (that I plan to upgrade from Vista to Win7). I want the messages to dowload to the hard drive on the notebook for archival.
I know I should upgrade the Vista machine to Win7 before I start trying to
sync these 3 devices/areas (2 devices and 1 cloud??? ;-)). Once that is accomplished, I want to sync the notebook (outlook email and calendar and contacts) with the iphone (email, contacts, calendar) and Live (email, contacts, calendar). Will opened email show as "read" on the other devices at next logon? Will calendar updates work properly from any location and propagate to the other devices? Same for Contacts: can I change one anywhere and have it properly update at the other two locations? What about deleting email messages (or contacts, or calendar items), can it be done from any of the 3 and propagate to the the other 2?
Can it be done? How?

Google does not support Push access for recieved messages when accessing the account as an IMAP account.
Google does support Push access for recieved messages when accessing the account as an Exchange account, but Exchange/ActiveSync is a new protocol for Google.
I have no idea about service interruptions with a Gmail account, but since Exchange/ActiveSync is a new protocol for Google and still considered a Beta I believe, there are bound to be issues from time to time while Google gets the bugs worked out.
The iPhone supports Push access for recieved messages with email account providers that provide/support Push access. The iPhone also supports Fetch access with an option for automatically checking for new messages every 15 minutes, every 30 minutes, or every hour. With an account that supports Push access, you can enable or disable Push access, automatically check the account for new messages, or manually check for new messages.
Nothing personal, but what is the big deal about Push access for recieved messages? What sort of important email do you regularly recieve that must be pushed to the iPhone the instant the message is recieved at the incoming mail server - along with every other message the instant they are recieved at the incoming mail server? To each his/her own, but that would drive me nuts. Nothing I recieve via email is so important that it can't wait for the account to be automatically checked for new messages every 30 minutes (my setting), and I can always manually check the account for new messages in between the automatic check.
Just trying to help you save what amounts to $8.33/mo with a MobileMe account. I haven't read about on-going regular problems with accessing a Gmail account as an IMAP account. This provides for keeping all server stored mailboxes synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account, and you can sync contacts and calendar events direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process at no additional expense. You won't have Push access for recieved messages when accessing a Gmail account as an IMAP account, but I think you will get by A-OK having the account automatically checked for new messages along with being able to do a manual check in between the automatic check if you are expecting an email of significant importance.
And in the interim, Google may get the bugs ironed out with accessing the account as an Exchange account which you can switch to when they do - still at no charge.

Sorry for bashing on about this. Just called Apple at 1.800.694.7466 and they told me the issue isn't with Mavericks per se but with iTunes 11.1.5.
According the helpful woman I spoke to, no one at Apple knows why Apple decided to remove the ability to sync everything via USB. She hears complaints about the change and knows it makes life difficult for folks.
She also recommended, as you did, to contact www.apple.com/feedback about the change. She says Apple does in fact have a group of people who do read the comments.
Whenever we talk about iTunes, it's assumed we are referring to the most current version, unless otherwise specified.

Problems syncing outlook 2007 calendar and ipod classic

I did a quick search and found many people with this problem but no solution that worked for me.
Basically my outlook 2007 calendar has suddenly stopped syncing with my ipod (I'm running Vista 64). Although I can see my calendar in the contacts tab - and there is a progress bar when i sync my ipod for calendars to sync - i cannot view any appointments on my ipod. Contacts from Outlook, however, are still syncing fine.
I have tried to reset all disabled products on the help menu in outlook but this hasn't worked. Others have suggested that Outlook should be open before trying to sync, this also didn't work.
Does anyone have any ideas how to sort this out short of manually transferring my appointments to my ipod.
Not sure if it is of any relevance but my calendar file on my ipod is currently completely empty at the moment.

After countless hours of restoring the **** ipod I've finally got my calendar back on it. I think what finally did it was backing up my calendar in outlook and then deleting it, syncing the ipod with the new blank outlook calendar and then reloading my backed up calendar in outlook and syncing my ipod again with the calendar. I know there's a lot of folks in the same position I was in so I hope this helps.

HELP!!!! iCloud synced all contacts calendar etc to both mine and my mothers account due to shared apple id HELP ME!!

Okay so me and my mom have both downloaded the new iPhone update and now she has both her contacts and mine along with my calendar info and more. We both think its due to iCloud seeming as it didn't happen before we set it up. It is a nightmare and we just want it FIXED!. We have tried turning them off individually such as the contacts and the calendar yet they still were there! next we tried pressing the option that deleted them all from iCloud yet it just deleted all of out contacts so we turned it back on.
What is going on??????
I just want her contacts and calendar information GONE i really dont want me texting my nan thinking its my mom cus its written as mom mobile for both mine and hers AAAAH.

You will have to have two separate Apple IDs to keep each of your sets of data separate. I assume your Mom has her own computer and/or Apple ID so you can buy all that music without her knowing about it. Just go to "settings" and then "Mail, contcts, and calendars". Click on the icloud account and remove it from your device. Then create a new icloud account using your Apple user name and ID (assuming it is seperate from your Mom's Apple user name and ID. Your devise should begin syncing just your stuff to your device. This is all predicated (again) on you and your Mommy having separate contact lists, email accounts, calendars, etc. - and MOST IMPORTANTLY - (did I already say this?) separate user names and Apple IDs.

Problems syncing new google calendar delegates to iPhone 3

I got a iPhone 3 a few months ago and had no problem setting up calendar so that all of my google calendar delegates are visible in both iCal and on my iPhone. I haven't had any problems with getting events to update on all of my calendars regardless of which program I use to create/ edit the event, until now. I recently created a new google calendar delegate. I can access the delegate in both iCal and on google but for some reason I can't get the new delegate to sync to my iPhone. I've tried to edit the settings in all of the programs, i've edited events on the new calendar on google on my iPhone, on my computer and on iCal but I still can't get it to show up in calendar on my iPhone. Any suggestions on fixing this problem?

I didn't know it was possible. How do I find an option to subscribe to a new calendar from within the iPhone? I've always subscribed via synching.

Failed to sync Outlook contact to M9790 with Desktop Software

I can sync Outlook calendar. But when I sync address books, it always stops at a certain record. It just freezed and I have to forcibly unplug the Blackberry to unfreeze both my computer and BB.
Is there any explanation and yet solution to it?
Thank you.

Hello,
If it gives you any hint as to the record, and on which device, the problem lies, then it might be that removing that record will help the situation. Normally, when it fails this way, there is something more than just freezing up...some error message or something...how long do you wait?
Good luck and let us know!

Gmail Mail/Contacts/Calendar Functioning with iPhone But Not iPad

I recently purchased an iPad Mini and input my "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" settings the same exact way as they are in my iPhone...
o Exchange account
o E-mail address is "[X]@gmail.com"
o Server is "m.google.com"
o Domain is left blank
o Username is "[X]@gmail.com"
o Password is correct
o Use SSL is turned on
o S/MIME is turned off
Nevertheless, when I launch the Mail app in my iPad Mini, I get the message "Cannot Get Mail: The connection to the server failed". Similarly, my contacts and calendar data haven't synced at all. I'm not having this issue on my iPhone so am a bit bewildered as to why I'm encountering it on the iPad.
Anyone know what's going on here? Thanks in advance!
Best,
Alex

Google discontinued Exchange support for free Gmail accounts as of 30 January 2013. Devices that were already set up wiht it will continue to work. However, as you've discovered, attempts to set it up on a new device will not. You will need to set up the account as a regular Gmail account.
To sync your contacts, you need to add a CardDAV account as well:

Hello there Alex,
Here is some good info to try and isolate what is not connecting correctly. From iOS: Unable to send or receive email found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899.
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
If you're still unable to send or receive email, contact your email provider and verify the account settings are correct. You will need to gather this information (PDF).
Additional Information
Using more than one device to check the same POP email account may create a lock-out issue that is easily resolved.
Take care,
Sterling
