Setup new iphone 5 outlook synch

tring to setup a new iphone 5 and synch outlook from a pc over air - email works fine but cant synch calendar and contacts?

Hello NMHitch,
Congratulations on your new iPhone 5! Having your contacts and calendar on your new phone is certainly important. I found an article about troubleshooting syncing over Wi-Fi with iTunes that may help:
iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi Syncing
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4062
If you are still having trouble after using the steps in that article, you may want to try the article listed below. It refers to syncing using the USB, but should work for Wi-Fi syncing through iTunes as well:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting contact and calendar syncing via USB on Windows

I hope this helps!
Best,

Why won't my new iPhone 5s synch/backup to my MacBook Pro, after activating it successfully on the same computer?

Hello! Thanks in advance for your help!!
I successfully launched/started my new iPhone 5s about 3 weeks ago on my MacBookPro. Then recently I tried to synch it/back it up for the first time onto my computer since the 5s was activated.
Unfortunately, it only asks me if I would like to back it up again from my old 4s backup (which I don’t want to do, as I now have a lot of new info on the 5s) - or the second option available is to restore it as a new phone.
How do I get this Mac and/or iTunes to register this 5s phone has already been connected and launched via this computer, and to just SYNCH it or back it up?
…OR - if I did restore it as a new phone, wouldn’t I lose everything and have to start again?
Currently on OS X Mavericks 10.9.2, iTunes 11.1.5, iPhone 5s iOS 7.1
All tips gratefully received - can not find solutions on internet
xx

I think you are confusing Backup and Restore. An iPhone Backup takes the information on your phone and puts it on your computer as a database that can be later restored to the phone. Only app and operating system data are backed up to the database. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946 for a list of everything included in a backup. Music and apps are NOT included in the backup because that would be duplication. iTunes music and apps are always available to restore to your iPhone from your iTunes library on your computer or from Apple's servers. Music from other sources (CDs and MP3s from other sites) have to be on your computer, because that is the only way to transfer them to your iPhone.
Restore takes the backup that is on your computer and copies it to the iPhone, overwriting everything on the iPhone.
Photos are a special case. The iPhone includes a digital camera. It works the same way as any other digital camera; you connect the phone to your computer and it will appear as a camera device, separately from iTunes. You can use iPhoto or any other photo app to copy the images off the iPhone's Camera Roll to your computer for safekeeping and editing. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 for examples.

I wish to synch my iPhone 5s in it's current state (with all 3 weeks additional info), from the phone, over into the Mac. (Hope that makes sense). How can I get this option made available to me?
You do not want to "synch" your 5S to your Mac. You want to BACK UP your 5S to your Mac. Connect the iPhone to your computer, click on its name in iTunes, and click the Backup button.
AFTER this completes you can then sync your music and other iTunes content from your computer to your Mac. As you have now have a current backup (rather than a 3 week old backup) your content will be safe.
You should also back up to iCloud. This is an automatic process once set up; the phone will be backed up to iCloud whenever it is connected to power and has a WiFi connection. To enable this go (on the phone) to Settings/iCloud. Click on Storage & Backup and enable iCloud backup. Once set up it will happen automagically without your having to think about it.

Setup new iPhone as iPod and now lost what was in my phone

Got new iPhone 4, used it for 4 days taking pucs and adding contacts etc. few days later i connected to iTunes, which said setup as new iPhone or restoe it as my iPod, I wanted my songs so I clicked the latter. However ive lost all my contacts, all my camera pics, etc and the layout has completely changed into an iPod format so I can't ring off my contact list etc its just not how my iPhone should be!! How can I get it to how the iPhone was before an is it possible to get the pics and my old contact list back from before I set the iPhone onto iTunes??

I would say your data is gone. The only way to retrieve that data back is to restore your iphone backup.

How do I retreive my old pictures that I took on my new Iphone before synching with my computer? I entered sync with my old iphone instead of my new one!

How do I retrieve the photos taken on my new Iphone after syncing with my computer. I entered sync with my old Iphone instead of sync with new one.

Certain "lines" in my touch screen would not work... the "send" button on the touch screen would not send, then the "slide to unlock" button would work sometimes and not at others... and if i tried to force certain actions by double clicking or screen shots, the entire screen would start to "gitter" and dance back and forth.... then some times it would select a command and continue to do it over and over and over again without my touching the screen at all.

IPhone Outlook calendar synch issue

My new iPhone does synch with my Outlook 2007 calendar, but only some, not all, of the calendar items actually are copied over to the phone. When I create an event on the phone, it does synch back to the computer.
Any idea what's happening here?

Similar, if not same, issue here, as no calendar items come across from the computer. While I run both OSX and PC, the phone uses wife's Dell running XP pro, and it's still no joy. Running latest OS and outlook patches, etc.
I would expect coders are still working on a fix...bought the phone expressly for this purpose--while the other features are great, until this is fixed, it's a rather large thorn.
If the definitive steps to a fix are arrived at, I am all ears...

I have a new iphone 4S. i did as the shop said and backed up my old iphone 3S before connecting the new iphone. Now music titles in itunes appears but cannot be located. all music on old phone still! how to get it to new phone?

All the music in itunes has a little footprint beside it. My old phone - 3GS has all my music there and playing fine. But if I try to synch with itunes it says it will synch from itunes to iphone and so am worried I will lose all my music from iphone too. New iphone has synched fine in every other way - contacts apps etc. But no music! I would be grateful if anyone has any tips to get my music back into itunes. - I had previously backed it all up on a mobile hard drive but can't find the option to import all my music from there ..it was a while ago so won't be evverything. None of my music is bought via itunes. It's all just my old CDs - still catching up! Thanks in anticipation of your help. N

Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

I recently got a new iphone 4 w/iOs 7. I set up th eicloud, etc. and got my contacts and appointments from outlook. All was fine. Now it will not snyc/update my phone from outlook. I get "Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error."

Hello JinxUK,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the iCloud Control Panel. I found an article referencing the error message you are getting:
“Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error.”
Apple is investigating this issue. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.

My new iphone 5 email is synched with my home office computer Outlook email using a POP account, but deleting an email on my computer does not delete it on my phone and vice versa. Is there any way to get a true synch?.

My new iPhone 5 email is synched with my home office computer Outlook email using a POP account, but deleting an email on my computer does not delete the email on my phone and vice versa. Is there any way to get a true synch?.

POP does not support synchronization between the server and clients. You will need to use IMAP or Exchange Active Sync if your email provider supports it.

Having trouble setting up e-mail on new iPhone 4s. I would like to sync with my outlook mail, contacts

I am having trouble setting up my email and syncing my outlook calendar wiht my new iphone 4s.

How do you connect to the internet?
Most of the time, the problem lies here. You can try a couple of things. First, try only 3G or carrier data. Then, try only wifi. If that still doesn't work, your only other option is to try a different hotspot.
I had the same problem before when I updated to iOS 4.3. I thought it was the update at first. I usually have the carrier data turned off because my plan doesn't have an unlimited provision for it. I forgot that I also switched ISPs from DSL to a visibility unit package - meaning I had to setup my laptop so that I could get wifi from it. I realized this when I visited a friends house that I knew I could connect properly before.
My problem was with my laptop. It seems that Little Snitch blocks the ports being used for mail and push notifications. I haven't figured it out exactly since I still can't get email when I'm using my laptop connection. But, it works fine when I'm using ONLY 3G or both/wifi only if connected to a different hotspot.
Hope that helps.

Connect iPhone and Setup as new iPhone appears when it's not new

I connect my iPhone 4, and get the iTunes 2 options, Setup as new iPhone, and Restore. I don't want to reset my iPhone. It has pictures. I tried Setup as new iPhone, and then it's starting synching to my husband's iPhone. I'm not sure what is happening, so I ejected and stopped the sync process.

I've checked the wire, but that's a good point, I'll see if I can find another cable to test this out. I'm not sure what you mean by the external power symbol, the symbol I'm seeing is the plug in the battery, the same symbol I see when my phone is fully charged and plugged in to my computer or a charger.
I also made sure my computer wasn't asleep, same issue.

IPhoto does not recognise camera since synching with new iPhone

Ever since I've setup my new iPhone, Iphoto will not recognise my camera (Panasonic DMC-FX36); even though it recognises the iPhone camera OK. I've previously used the Panasonic camera without a problem and this has only started happening since synching the iPhone for the first time (not sure if this is coincidence or not).
I can't find anything in iPhoto that suggests any settings have changed... I've also tested an older camera (Canon iX series) and found the same problem.
Most frustrating as I have a heap of photo's of my newborn daughter and no way to share them... and a sinking feeling that I may lose them... any suggestions appreciated.
Cheers

Thanks, I should have mentioned that I've tried Image Capture without luck...i.e. no device connected. The Camera actually asks for the prompt PC or Pictbridge... I've always selected PC, now the camera just freezes after I select the PC option... I have a card reader in my printer, but same problem, device not recognised.... Do you suspect it would be the camera or the iPhoto app?

Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
I found the answer to my question.
When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

I was prompted to download on my iPhone the new iPhone software ap. Upon doing so, my playlists came off my iPhone. They are still listed in my iTunes, but I cannot figure out how to get them from my iTunes to my IPhone. When I switch to synch by playlis.

How do I get my 300 playlists back on my IPhone after installing new IPhone software? The playlists still show in my ITunes on my computer but not in my IPhone. When I switch to synch by playlists and begin checking off the lists, the memory bar fills up. These lists are suppose to be in the ICloud and not go against my memory . I had access with my playlists to more than 18,000 somgs on my IPhone until this new Apple IPhone software update came alg. What do I do?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

HT1766 When I setup my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently entered wrong email address for apple id. I cannot verify the email sent. I have a new apple id, but can neither use nor delete the iCloud account. How do I get an iCloud account for this phone?

When I set up my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently used wrong email for setting up my apple id. I have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. How can I get an iCloud account for this phone?

You said "have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. ".
Why can't you verify it?
Do you not receive the verification email address?
If problem contact iTunes by:

The iCloud backup includes most things except non-iTunes purchased but the iTunes backup does not include those either. For what iCloud includes see:
