Sharing outlook calendar on iphone

I have an iPhone 5; my husband has a 4. We share his Outlook calendar as he gets various OT jobs and I have to schedule around them.
Lately, whenever he adds an OT job, it does not show up on my phone. The calendar is still on my phone, checkmarked and active. In fact, a recurring appointment does show up on my phone. But new OT jobs do not.
I am frustrated trying to get this to work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

*iPhone calendar views are a joke!*
My 90's Palm Vx had far more usable views via Pimlico Software. The gray scale display with poor resolution was able to show one or even two weeks with appointment texts.
What does iPhone have? List view is the best there is. One sees all appointments with only just scrolling. Day view is terrible. The whole day should be visible without scrolling for it to be at least somewhat efficient. Now one has to first select a day with arrows and after that scroll thru the day and after that select another day and scroll again. No way. Month view is very poorly designed! The grid takes way too much space and who decided to put the appointment list in the bottom of the screen when one's index finger blocks it if sliding thru days in the grid!!! Oh man!!! Unlock the landscape view and please make the grid a little bit smaller and please place the appointment list on the left or at least on the right side. And make its font way smaller! No point in seeing two appoinments without scrolling.
iPhone's wonderful screen would be able to show one or two weeks with written appointments in a list like manner especially landscape. I mean seven columns titled Mo-Su and all appointments listed in that day's column.
Hopefully SDK will let someone else do it if Apple won't.
And we have to get to copy appointments and paste them to other days also. I am spending 30 min writing the same info one at a time to our monthly plan. Everyone else is already having a cup of coffee.

Sync SHARED Outlook calendar with iPhone (possible fix!)

Hey all,
My business uses a shared calendar in Microsoft Outlook 2007. Our personal calendars sync fine. However, the shared calendar does not appear in iTunes.
POSSIBLE FIX: If you create a local copy of the shared calendar by clicking and dragging from Public Folders to Calendar in Outlook, it will appear in iTunes and will sync.
QUESTION: How do I automate this process, so that a local copy is created whenever the shared calendar is updated?

1. Apple has removed sync services in OS X Mavericks. Therefore, you cannot sync Outlook 2011 with Contacts or Calendar.
2. Apple has removed the ability to sync through iTunes in OS X Mavericks, so that, even if you use Contacts and Calendar on the Mac, you can only sync them with your iPhone through iCloud, thus exposing all your contacts and calendar information to the mercies of the Web.
3. Microsoft does not not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly through iCloud, except perhaps by setting up a Microsoft Exchange account.
4. Apple makes it extremely difficult (virtually impossible) to revert to a version of OSX that is earlier than OS X Mavericks once Mavericks is installed.
In short, we are screwed and neither company seems to care.

Shared Outlook Calendars not showing up on my phone

I have an Outlook Calendar that works on my Samsung Galaxy S4, but I have 2 other outlook calendars that are shared with me on the same account that I can not seem to get to show up on my phone. How do I get the shared outlook calendars to show up with my own calendar?

Actually, the accounts can not be added as they are not my accounts. These are two members of my family who have their own outlook accounts. They “shared” their calendars with me so that I can see them. I want to see them on my Samsung Galaxy S4 but I can’t. I can see them on my laptop and I could see them on my iPhone but when I changed to the Samsung, I can’t see them. There has got to be a way to see them.

Shared Outlook Calendar - help!

Hi.
I have a shared outlook calendar in outlook 2010. I'd like to allow a small group of people read/write access, then a larger group to have read only access, and couldn't figure out how to set that up. I was able to grant the read/write access
to the smaller group, but then the larger group couldn't see the details of the meetings ect.
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you.

Sounds like you need to grant the larger group read access with "full details". Article below has good step by step instructions:

Just want to sync Outlook calendar and Iphone without paying extra $$

I am currently using Mobile Me trial membership to sync my Outlook Calendar and Iphone calendar. Just that only -- I don't want to sync my Outlook e-mail or contacts with my phone. But I don't want to pay $99 for for Mobile Me after the free trial runs out in October.
Will I have to pay to sync?
I need to sync them a couple times a day, it has to be secure, and I don't want to do it manually with a wire.
Any advice?

Jon,
I could connect the cord and sync each night, but that's too difficult to remember.
That's how I did it for a year with the first iPhone. It wasn't that bad.
Still, over the air synching is pretty cool, especially if you update your calendar throughout the day and always want the latest information on the phone.

How can I add a SHARED Outlook Calendar to my iPhone?

I have Outlook for work. I have my personal calendar on there, along with my work calendar which is shared with my boss. When I sync my IPhone to Exchange, my personal calendar from Outlook syncs to my phone. The Shared calendar does not appear, however.
I don't want to use an app (I have OWA and hate it) and I want the shared cal to appear on my calendar in my phone. I also need to do so without adding my boss's email account to my phone. Help!

Depending on the version of Exchange in your environment you need to verify with your Exchange Admin that iCal publishing is enabled (Exchange 2010 or 2013) then you could send an email with a link to the shared calendar then subscribe to
it. Below is a link on how send the link once it's enabled and one for your Exchange Admin on how to enable iCal.
Send email to shared calendar:

Is it possible to view a shared Outlook calendar in Android and/or iPad/iPhone

Is it possible to get a shared (keyword SHARED) calendar in Outlook to sync with either an android or ipad/iphone calendar? I am able to get my primary outlook calendar to sync, but not my shared calendars. I have googled this topic extensively
and from what I've seen posted on various forums, the answer is a resounding no, but I'm hoping someone here might know of a workaround!
According to Microsoft support, Active Sync on mobile devices does not support shared calendars. (as per this article:http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/158/t/13142.aspx).
The suggested work around is to not use Active Sync and instead set up an IMAP account. However, my company does not allow IMAP connections, so that's not an option.
Another possibility is to use a 3rd party tool, such as sync2 to sync to a gmail account and in turn sync the gmail calendar to the mobile device. However, that method does not seem to work with shared calendars either.
We are currently using Exchange 2007, but if upgrading to a newer version could make syncing shared calendars to mobile devices possible, I might be able to get approval to upgrade.
Any thoughts or ideas or workarounds are welcome.
Auxiliary questions: I am new to working with Exchange. Can anyone explain why syncing shared calendars with mobile devices is so difficult? Is there something in the general design that makes it problematic? Is the issue about security or technical
limitations or both (or neither)?
Thank you, Rich

I am guessing this is still the case with exchange 2007..
If anyone has a work around please share

How can I sync my outlook calendar with iPhone or calendar on Maverick?

I have just updated to Mavericks on my iMac. I use Microsoft Outlook for email, contacts and calendars. How do I now sync these on my iPhone ?
The only sync seems to be via iCloud, this is sharing calendar and contacts on the iMac but if I make any calendar additions to the outlook calendar it doesn't copy to the phone or the iMac calendar and similarly if I add an item to the phone calendar it syncs to the iMac calendar but doesn't copy to outlook.

1. Apple has removed sync services in OS X Mavericks. Therefore, you cannot sync Outlook 2011 with Contacts or Calendar.
2. Apple has removed the ability to sync through iTunes in OS X Mavericks, so that, even if you use Contacts and Calendar on the Mac, you can only sync them with your iPhone through iCloud, thus exposing all your contacts and calendar information to the mercies of the Web.

View Outlook Calendar on iPhone In Day, Week, Or Month Views--NOT As A List

I apologize in advance if this has been asked already but couldn't find the answer after an extensive search.
My question is, after syncing my Outlook calendar to the iPhone, how can I view my appointments other than as a list in the iPhone? I would like to view my appointments in either day, week, or month views as opposed to only knowing what my next two or three appointments are. To me it just seems like a simple setting I'm overlooking somewhere. I appreciate any help you can afford
Thanks in advance,
-V5

Viewing/sharing outlook calendars in ical

I am trying to view a colleagues outlook calendar in ical. I've gone through the process of sharing and adding via the outlook web app and i can see their calendar fine via web browser. I'm struggling to see it in iCal however. I go to add the calendar to my iMac calendar via calendar > preferences > accounts > delegation. I type in their email address and it pops up as they're a contact/we're on the same network. I add them and then in the delegation list they appear as 'greyed out'. I've gone through this process with all of my colleagues, some it works for and some it doesn't. Sometimes some of them are greyed out and other times they are there and let me tick 'show'.
All calendars are visible and working via outlook web app. Only some let me see them in iCal.
This is very frustrating! Anyone have any solutions?

Outlook Calendar to iPhone Syncing Issue - Event Alerts

When my outlook calendar events sync to my iphone 4, the event gives me an alert 15 minutes before the event. I checked, and there is no alert set on my outlook calendar, and on the iphone I have set the default alert to none for calendar events. Why would the synced event give me a 15 minute alert, when I created the event in outlook to not alert me?

Craig:
Very odd - what kind of system are you running?
Mac or PC?
When I first got my iPhone 3Gs about 18 months ago I was having trouble with the sync-ing of calendars and found that events that DID repeat "forever" were the problem. After changing them to only repeat for (say) one year's worth of time (weekly meetings) or about 10 years (annual events) everything worked OK.
It appeared that if there were too many entries that the sync. broke. For example I have one uncle born in 1912 (yeah he's seen a few things in his life...) and his birthday would not sync at all until I lied and said he was born in 1972 (other dates might have worked also I just lost motiviation for trying to pin-point the problem -- I had a support case open with Apple but they were never able to explain the behavior .... just that (after I figured it out) "ummm yeah, that's the way it works" ....

How do I sync Outlook calendar with iPhone?

I am using Outlook 2011 on my laptop for my yahoo account. I receive all mail via Outlook and I use the calendar feature on Outlook as well. I set up the yahoo account also on my iPhone 4. I have no problems receiving/sending emails but I cannot figure out how to [wirelessly] sync the calendar from Outlook to the iPhone. Does anyone know if it can be done? And if so, how? Thank for the help.

Synchronization of calendars between Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and your Apple iPhone or iPod touch requires Apple iTunes. You can configure which items are synchronized during a one-time set up process. Good luck with your Mac!
After the initial setup, each time that you connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer, the changes made on your computer or device are synchronized.
Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer using the cable provided with your device or by placing the iPhone or iPod touch in the Apple Universal Dock.
iTunes opens automatically when connected to your computer.
In iTunes, in the source list, under Devices, click the entry for your iPhone or iPod touch.
Click the Info tab.
Under Calendars, click Sync calendars from, and then click Outlook.
Do one of the following:
To synchronize all calendars, click All calendars.
To limit the calendars that are synchronized, click Selected calendars, and then click the calendars you want to synchronize.
NOTE To select multiple calendars, press CTRL as you click each calendar name.
Click Apply.

How to solve sync problem between Outlook calendar and iPhone when reminder is set to _some_ non-standard values?

Hi,
I am having a sync problem between my iPhone/iPad and Outlook calendar events (Outlook 2010).
Here is the description of the problem:
1. In Outlook - please create a new event/appointment (e.g. "Test").
2. Reminder is set by default to 15 minutes. You can change it by using a dropdown menu - please select: "0,5 days".
3. Click on "0,5 days" and change it manually to "14,5 days".
4. Click on "Save & Close".
5. (Do not snooze or dismiss the reminder.)
6. Sync with your iPhone/iPad.
7. Open this new event on iPhone/iPad - you can see that alert is set to "15 minutes before" instead to a correct value that was set in Outlook.
The same problem can be seen if you set the reminder to e.g. "3 weeks" (standard value is "2 weeks").
However, it is interesting that non-standard values like "1,5 days" (and all other until "13,5 days") are synced without any problem.
Does anyone have a solution how to solve this problem (different than the trivial solution of not using those strange values)?
Thanks!

Thanks to another post (https://discussions.apple.com/message/17501071#17501071) I reset the sync history, here is what to do:
Launch iTunes.
Before you hook up your iPhone to the PC and iTunes do this: Go to iTunes Edit menu > Preferences… > select the iPhone > click the Reset Synch History button > click OK.
Connect the iPhone to the PC and let iTunes recognize it.
In the top right corner is the iPhone icon, click on the left side of the iPhone icon > the iPhone menu launches.
In the menu along the top click on Info > make your selections > click Sync button > it gives you a dialog at the top with the steps it’s going through during the sync.
In the top left of the iTunes app > click Exit.

How to view a shared outlook calendar

Hi - I hope someone can help me. I have a shared outlook calender that we all use at work however I can only view my own Outlook calender on my iPhone 4.
Is there any way to view shared calenders?

I am guessing this is still the case with exchange 2007..
If anyone has a work around please share

Viewing Shared Outlook Calendars

I have my outlook calendar on my IPAD - no problems. However, how do I see shared calenders? In other words, on my PC, I have my default calendar and two other's calendars. On my PC I can see all three calendars but on my IPAD I only see my default calendar. I have managed to get my wife's Google Calendar on my IPAD which overlays my default calendar. There should be a way to connect my shared calendars since these other people have already shared it to my default Outlook.

Hi,
Thank you for your question.
I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue.
Thanks,
