Shared 2010 Calendar Color Categories not appearing in Outlook 2007

I have a SBS 2003 (exchange 2007) environment wih a mixed Outlook use between 2007 and 2010. One 2010 Outlook client has shared a calendar to several 2007 users and they swear that when they received the email invite to view this shared 2010 calendar, the
color categories list in their Outlook changed to match the shared calendar without any interaction from the users. A new hire was given the same invite to view this shared calendar, she accepted, the calendar is visible however, the color categories
are not appearing.
I've tried setting an appointment in the 2010 Outlook shared calendar with all the color categories in the list, then going to the client's 2007 Outlook and updating the color categories in her mailbox but nothing changes.
I've read about 20-30 blogs, tech form and MS tech answers on this subject and I get conflicting solutions. One states that you can't transfer the master color category list, you have to change it on each Outlook client while others state the use of an appointment
and upgrading the categories from the properties in the client's mailbox (which didn't work) or using a third party add-in to manage a "Master Color Category list" (which costs money). I would like a straight answer to my question, which is,
"why can't the Outlook 2007 client see the color categories in the 2010 shared calendar?" and "How to I fix this?".
This questions has been asked in so many different ways that I'm not sure if someone will help me without having to call MS support and pay for it. This has got to have a simple solution that I don't need to pay for it, yes?
Anyone, please help me.....

Hey mate i had the same issue and was dumb founded till i came up with a solution that worked for me, and possibly someone out there looking for the same solution. Half the info i looked up was all bullshit and took me months to come up with a fix as
im busy with other priorities.
still busy so ill be quick...and not gonna get too technical just gonna lay it all out in steps
1. create a mail account in exchange eg.
[email protected]
2. log into the account through outlook and share the calendars you set up.
3. go to the exchange management console on the 'server ' right click the created
[email protected] mailbox > manage full access permissions> and start adding the users who need access. (only thing that worked for me)
4. close and reopen outlook on the users computer and then you should see the colour co-ordinated catergories that you assigned for scheduling that they can all access and book appointments in a easy colour co-ordinated layout.
if it dosent show up try - *on the users computer* start >run>cmd>gpupdate/force
this will force the update on some computer that didnt show up with the effect. only had this problem with 1 user and this fixed it :)
hopefully this idea helps you! as it did me cause no geek out there never gave me this easy fix option, instead right properties and blah blah blah technical crap that dosent work, wankers!
thanks :) 
P.S this worked between 2010 and 2007 microsoft outlook

  • Contacts Added in iPhone Not Appearing in Outlook 2007

    When I add new contacts on the iPhone and then sync with Outlook 2007 the newly added contacts are not appearing in Outlook. What is to be done? Please help.

    Make sure when you go to add the contact that your contact list group filter is set to "All "Exchange account name"" or Contacts under your Exchange account info. If it is selected to "All Contacts" and you add a contact it is added only to the phone and not to the Exchange Group.
    When you are viewing your contact list what does it say at the top of the screen? If it says "All Contacts" it will only add the contact to the phone and not to Exchange. Kind of dumb if you ask me.

  • 8830 messages on handheld do not appear in Outlook 2007

    I have just one user who is using an 8830 world edition.  Random messages will appear on his handheld but not in his Outlook in box.  There are no filters or rules in place on his account either in outlook or on the Exchange 2007 server.  IT policies in the BES server match those of all other users.  An attempt to forward the message from the handheld to anyone results in the error that the message has been deleted with the Red X.  It is not alwasy the same sender that gets dropped.  This has been happening for about 2 months now.  I really need to know where to go next.
    Thanks

    If you open the message with the red X, what is the message status at the top?
    Have you done any troubleshooting already, like wiping and reactivating the device, or removing and readding his account on the BES, or anything??

  • Appointments inserted in calendar on Q10 not appearing in Outlook

    Hello
    Our company recently updated their handsets to the Q10.  On each, we have set up the person's Outlook account using Microsoft Activesync.  We use Exchange Server 2010.
    If a person puts an appointment in their calendar in Outlook 2010, it immediately appears on their Q10.  
    It is a wireless, not wired, sync.
    If they put an appointment in their calendar on their Q10, however, it is not syncing with their Outlook calendar.
    is there a fix for this, or is this facility not available on the Q10?
    We do not wish to use Blackberry Link/wired sync to resolve this problem.
    Apologies if this query has been resolved elsewhere on this forum.

  • Sync calendar entries not appearing in outlook 2010

    Hi there,
    I'd be grateful for any help on this one as I'm just bout pulling my hair out.
    Basically, when I sync calendars on my iPad 3 using iTunes, the entries do not appear anywhere in Outlook 2010 which is my default mail/calendar client.
    My setup is as follows:
    I have iCloud enabled on my iPad, but for some reason I have some of my calendar entries on the iCloud calendar and some on the calendar on the iPad itself.  I thought the easiest way to sort everything out would be to get the entries stored on the iPad onto my PC, then I could easily copy them into iCloud using Outlook.
    Within Outlook I have a number of calendars under the main Calendar folder shown in the navigation pane.  Some of these calendars are also on the iPad.
    As I had multiple calendars with the same name 'Calendar', I thought it would make things easier if I renamed the calendars on the device.  In this case, I renamed the calendar which has the entries I want on my PC to Calendar1.  When I sync with iTunes and select Calendar1 to be synced, this does not appear in Outlook.  Even if I create an empty Calendar1 in Outlook, the entries are still not being copied over.
    I'm running Windows 7 64-Bit, iTunes 11 and iOS 6.12.  I have changed the backup option in iTunes to use my computer instead of iCloud.  This made no difference.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Hussein.

    Hi there,
    As a follow up to the previous post I disabled iCloud and opted to keep all items on my iPad thinking that I'd rather have too much data than too litt.e  I then did an iTunes sync which replicated a lot of data in Outlook, but the renamed calendar still isn't being synced over or the entries that have been added to it.  I put in a test entry on the iPad and it's going into the renamed calendar1 but not showing up in Outlook.
    Any further tips.  I've tried installing OpenSSL as advised on another Apple support KB article but this has no effect.
    Thanks for any advice on this.
    All the best for now and take care.
    Hussein.

    Hi RU,
    You've stumbled into the Numbers (for Mac) area of Apple Support Communities with a question not related to Numbers.

  • 9800 Calendar Data changes not uploading to Outlook 2010

    When I add appts to my BB calendar it does not update my Outlook 2010 but always works the other way. I have it set to two way but only seems to go one way.

    Hi - have you checked your Desktop Manager software's syncing settings??  It may have reverted to synching 1-way. To check this do the following:
    1) Launch Desktop Manager on your computer.
    2) Connect your BB to your computer via USB
    3) Once the Desktop Manager finishes running, click on "Organizer" in the left panel of the Desktop Manager's main screen.
    4) The right-side of the screen will change "Select Orgaanizer Data to Synchronize"
    5) You should see the folowing options listed in this screen, and each having their own Configure button:
    Contacts
    Calendar
    Tasks
    Memo
    6) Click on the Configure button beside Calendar.
    7) In the pop-up box, there should be a drop-down at the top named "Sync Direction".  Click on the drop-down and select "Two way between your device and your computer"
    8) Be sure the check-box "Replace all entries on your device with entries on your computer" (below the drop-down) is not checked.
    This should now allow your calendar items added to your handheld to sync with Outlook.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes 11 is not syncing my Outlook 2007 calendar on my iPhone 5 on a Windows 7 PC

    ITunes 11 is not syncing my Outlook 2007 calendar on my iPhone 5 on a Windows 7 PC.
    I have tried a number of things such as:
    Repairing the outlook.pst file with scan pst.exe. This did not work.
    Uninstalling all apple software on the PC and then reinstalling it. This did not work.
    Turning addins off and on in outlook. This did not work.
    Changing outlook.pst files. This did not work.
    Replacing iPhone content with content on PCM. This did not work.
    Restoring the iPhone does not work.
    Nothing works.
    I have been working on this issue for a couple of days. It is driving me crazy. I am inches from formatting my hard drive.
    Everything worked fine until the most recent iTunes update.

    Same here. Spent about an hour trying various solutions to similar problems on other forums before discovering this one, which matches my symptoms exactly. iPad doesn't have this issue, only iPhone 4S.
    My iTunes Match renews in two days. This is about the umpteenth disappointment with the service. I almost certainly won't be renewing now.

  • Calendar item does not appear in day view for Sunday August 1, 2010

    I have a strange problem. I have an appointment on Sunday August 1, 2010. When in day view, and move from Saturday July 31 to Sunday Augsust 1 the appointment does not appear. However, if you look at list view or month view, it is there. If you continue to Monday and then go back to Sunday (all in day view) it appears. There is another person in my office with the exact same problem, so I know it is not just my phone. Anyone else have this issue? Any fix? I am concerned about appointments I will miss because of this. I added appoinments directly into the phone, no server, no exchange, no sync, same problem. It appears to be a bug in OS4.

  • E71 MfE - new calendar appointments do not appear ...

    If I add a new calendar appointment on the E71 mfe does update the calendar on my Exchange Server however the new appointment is not visible within Outlook.
    I can tell it has updated to the exchange end as when I check my calendar from within the webmail interface of exchange I can see the appointment.
    From Outlook using the day/week/month views the appointment is not visible. The only way I can see the appointment within Outlook is to click view > current view > all apointments, the appointment will appear within the list of appointments.
    The only difference I can see with appointments created on the handset and the desktop is that handset created appointments do not appear to have an 'end date' listed in outlook (perhaps this is why I cant see them in other views?). I have entered an end date on the handset at the time of creating the appointment.
    Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong?

  • Programmatically created calendar view does not appear on view selector menu

    Hi!
    I'm using the following code to create a calendar view for a list:
    using (var site = new SPSite("http://localhost"))
    var viewFields = new System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection { dateStartFieldName, dateEndFieldName, titleFieldName };
    var query = string.Format("<Where><DateRangesOverlap><FieldRef Name='{0}' /><FieldRef Name='{1}' /><Value Type='DateTime'><Month /></Value></DateRangesOverlap></Where>", dateStartFieldName, dateEndFieldName);
    var viewData = string.Format("<FieldRef Name='{0}' Type='CalendarMonthTitle' /><FieldRef Name='{0}' Type='CalendarWeekTitle' /><FieldRef Name='' Type='CalendarWeekLocation' /><FieldRef Name='{0}' Type='CalendarDayTitle' /><FieldRef Name='' Type='CalendarDayLocation' />", titleFieldName);
    var list = site.RootWeb.Lists["ESM Leaves"];
    var newView = list.Views.Add("Calendar11", viewFields, query, 0, true, false, SPViewCollection.SPViewType.Calendar, false);
    newView.ViewData = viewData;
    newView.MobileView = true;
    newView.Update();
    list.Update();
    My problem is that even though the view is created, it does not appear in the View links just above my list. It only appears in the drop down menu of views in the ribbon. On the contrary, if I create the view using the browser user interface (not programmatically),
    the view appears in both places.
    Do you have any idea why this might be happening?
    Dimitris Papadimitriou, Software Development Professional

    Hi papadi,
    I can reproduce the issue that creating calendar view using programming method, the view isn’t shown in view selector menu, and this only happens to calendar view, html view or other views are shown in the menu.
    After editing the web part, disable the selector menu, then re-enable the selector menu again, I can see the calendar view shown in the view selector menu, create a new calendar view using programming, the calendar view shows as expected.
    This seems indicate there is some issue in the view selector menu display, I would suggest you to first disable the view selector menu through edit the web part properties, then create the calendar view.
    Thanks,
