Some calendar entries do not sync: Windows Vista -- Outlook 2007 -- 3GS

I have a couple of calender entries that refuse to sync. beween my Windows Vista machine running Outlook 2007 and my iPhone 3GS.
I bought some airline tickets from USAir and they sent reservation information in an e-mail that I added to outlook. Although the "appointment" looks normal in Outlook it will not sync. I also have one event on the iPhone that won't sync "back" to Outlook.
So far I have tried:
* Reseting the sync. history in iTunes
* Setting the "Replace information on this iPhone" for the Calendar setion.
* Making an edit in the non-syncing entries so they would show as needing to be synced to the other device.
None of these things has made the entries sync....
Any ideas apprecaited....

Ok after MUCH messing around it appeared that the problem was somewhere in one of my "repeating events". Myself and the Apple guy concluded this after exporting all of my calendar events to a CSV file and then re-importing them. All the events went to the iPhone without issue so the initial diagnosis was data corruption in one of these events causing a sync. failure.
I was willing to go along with this diagnosis and figure out which event was corrupt since that seemed to be the problem.
MY ONLY COMPLAINT to Apple at the time was that this condition should have given an error message during sync. - just a "basic" QA check of the sync. would show the number of calender events in Outlook did not match the number of calender events in the iPhone ... apparently this is NOT performed by the iTunes Sync. tool.
Anyway I deleted ALL recurring events from my calender sync-ed and all was well.
I started adding back the repeating events to find the "broken" event. This turned out not to be possible as it would "break" in seemingly random places.
For example I have about 60 annually repeating events (birthdays and anniv.) I added back the first 20 ... it broke. Ah-ha the problem is somewhere in #1 - 20 of 60. So I add just the "last" 40 ... it still breaks... hmmmmmm do I have MULTIPLE "break points"???
Ok ... so I just start re-adding them manually one at a time ....
I have a grandfather that was born in 8/28/1915. When I add his birthday to the calendar in Outlook (by entering his birthdate on the details page of his contact record in Outlook) a annually repeating event that repeats forevery starting on 8/28/1915 gets added to the calender. iTunes would NOT sync. this event.
I deleted it, re-resync-ed, then re-added the birthday and EDITED it to start the repeating event on 8/28/2000. This time a sync. worked OK and the birthday is on my iPhone ... this is very screwy. Again no error messages from iTunes at any time.
So I do not know what the "metrics" are for valid events, but if something as simple as the one above confuses iTunes I sure could have a lot of "bad" events that are in fact not corrupt.
So I do not know what the "metrics" are for valid events, but if something as simple as the one above confuses iTunes I sure could have a lot of "bad" events that are in fact not corrupt. There has got to be something weird going on with the way iTunes handles "repeating" events in terms of a "ceiling" as to how many times it can repeat or the total number of repeating events that can be sync-ed or something like that ... that seems to be the only "thread" I can find .... it does not appear to be corrupt data, but perhaps event types that the iTunes/iPhone can not handle???
Not a happy boy.

Updated ios8 on ipad: new calendar entries do not sync to other Apple devices through iCloud

After downloading the latest ios8 update, the calendar function on my iPad no longer syncs as it should with my other Apple devices. Specifically, it will receive calendar entries made on those other devices but I can not make an entry on my iPad show up on the other devices. How do I fix this?
Related to this, some of the support community entries suggest logging out of iCloud and then logging back in. But then I read that what I have to do to do that is to delete my account. I don't want to do that. I want to keep everything I have on my iPad- mail, calendar, notes. I just want the sync function for new calendar entries to work.

Check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) on your iPad and make sure it's set to an iCloud calendar. If it isn't, make this change, then test calendars syncing again.
If your default calendar is set to and iCloud calendar, go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Calendars, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then turn Calendars back on. Test your calendar and see if it syncs properly now.

Curve 8520 not syncing OK with OUTLOOK 2007 - Time Zone problems

I have a BB Curve 8520 with OS 5.0.0.136
BB Desktop Manager is Version 7.1.0.33
Desktop PC OS is WINDOWS 7
MS Office OUTLOOK 2007
Time for W7 set to automatic internet update
Time zone for W7/Outlook2007: (-3) Buenos Aires
Time for BB 8520 set to MANUAL (same time as W7 set manually - No network time update)
Manually set BB Time Zone: (-3) Buenos Aires (No auto time zone update)
I do not travel anywhere where I may need automatic time zone change.
The Desktop is set not to sync time from BB with the Desktop PC time.
I set up an appointment in OUTLOOK 2007 at 08:00 hs. When I sync calendar (biderectionally) with the BB, the appointment in BB appears one hour late => 09:00 hs.
If I set an appointment in BB (say 09:00) and sync calendar, it appears in OUTLOOK 2007 one hour ahead (08:00)
If I set BB Time Zone to (-4) Santiago, then both appointment times are the same.
Any clue as to how to solve this strange behavior will be most welcome!
With BB AND DESKTOP PC times equal, and both BB AND DESKTOP PC Time Zone set to the same (say (-3) Buenos Aires), appointment times should be the same in the BB and the Desktop PC.

Morning.
Let's try this. Read through this thread. You probably have a corrupt record somewhere in your calendar.

Deleted calendar entries are not sync to the serve...

I'm using a E71 with MfE. The synchronization works fine except when deleting an item of the E71 calendar. The deleted item on the mobile is not deleted on the server. If I delete an item on the server the sync works correctly and the item is deleted also on the E71.
I'm using as well a Windows Mobile 6 device and there the sync with the server works correctly. Deleted items on the mobile calendar are deleted on the server too. That shows me, that the Exchange-Server is set up correctly.
Any idea what it could be?
Thx.

Ipod Nano (3rd gen) not syncing with Microsoft Outlook 2007

I previously upgraded computers and now I can't sync my ipod with my outlook calendar. I upgraded to 2007. Any ideas? I'd greatly appreciate any thoughts or help. Thanks.

iTunes 11 won't even recognize my 1st and 3rd gen nanos. They've just rendered all the devices I love useless.
You can send feedback on the upgrade here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html. I'm hoping enough legacy iPod users will speak up that they'll rethink and/or fix it.

My iPhone calendar entries won't sync with my iCal using iTunes

Hi,
For some odd reason my iPhone calendar entries will not sync with my iCal using the sync feature in iTunes.
The syncing of everything else seems to be working just fine but in the last couple of days ~ now the calendars won't sync.
Entries that I've made in iCal sync alright to my iPhone but not the other way around.....
Anyone out there got any suggestions???

First make sure you are entering the events on your phone to your Mac calendar and not some other calendar such as On My iPhone. If you are, and they still won't sync, try resetting the SyncServices folder on your mac, as explained in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627, then try syncing your calendar again. (If you are prompted when syncing your calendar, choose Merge.)

TS4050 I am running Windows 8. Although my contacts and notes from my Ipod touch show up on icloud my calendar entries do not show up even though they do show up in my Google calendar and my windows phone calendar. Any suggestions not already covered?

As I mentioned earlier, you have to decide which calendar you want to use. You can either use Google or iCloud, but not both.
If you want to use your iCloud calendar, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Calendar section) and set this to your iCloud calendar. After doing so, all new events you add to your calendar will be added by default to your iCloud calendar, and as a result, will appear on icloud.com and your computer (if it is syncing calendars with your iCloud account).
If, on the other hand, you want to use your Google calendar (as it sounds like you are doing with your iPod), simply add the same Google calendar to your phone and your computer.

After upgrading to iOS 5, I lost my contacts, calendar entries, and Notes on my iPhone 3GS (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

Yikes! After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, I lost my Contacts, calendar entries, and Notes (100+) on my iPhone (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

This happened to me too but it was really all there. Go to your calendar, click on calendar in the upper left hand corner, click on show all calendars, click done in the right upper corner. Everything should show up!!!
I was super thrilled. Hope this works for you!!

Duplicate calendar entries - but not related to any kind of sync

I went on holiday for 3 weeks and during that time my iPod touch discharged completely. When I came back and charged it up again I saw that it had reset its date back to what I presume is the factory default of 01 January 1970. I set the date and time to the current date and time - and then discovered that all my MONTHLY and YEARLY repeating calendar entries (but not the WEEKLY ones) have all been duplicated. This is not the result of any kind of sync up since (following a complete system rebuild following a virus attack) I have not yet reinstalled iTunes on my PC and I have not knowingly synced with Outlook because I almost never use it. If I delete an entry that has been duplicated then BOTH entries are deleted. Has anyone seen this behaviour and can tell me how I can remove the duplicate entries? I have looked for posts relating to duplicate calendar entries but they all deal with syncing-related problems whereas mine is not. Thanks.

I have a similar issue. I bought an ipod touch last week and today I synced my entourage contacts, and address book. The address book entries are fine, but I have duplicates on my calendar. Now, its not duplicating per day, its duplicating the previous or next day. For instance, I have a birthday listed for today, it will also show for yesterday or tomorrow. What is causing this? I've checked the calendar on entourage and ical and both show correctly. (ical copies items from entourage)

Palm T|X Windows XP Outlook 2007 .iCal and handheld calendar do not sync

Hi there,
I have a Palm T|X that I am running with a Windows XP Pro PC. I recently upgraded to Outlook 2007 so that I could access an iCal calendar. I downloaded the new Palm Outlook 2007 conduits upgrade. My contacts, notes, tasks and calendar are set to sync with Outlook and as far as I can tell, those features are all working fine. I have Palm Desktop (version 4.2.0). When I HotSync, it says that everything was sync'ed properly. When I create new events in Outlook or on my handheld calendar they synchronize fine. However, the events from my iCal subscription do not appear on my handheld calendar even though they do appear on Outlook.
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. I apologize if this is a sync problem and not a problem with Outlook 2007/Palm conduits.

Avoid installing iTunes 11 if you are a Windows user. Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

After installing iTunes 11.0, Outlook Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

I'm also seeing weird sync issues since upgrading to iOS 7. The sync issues started when I first upgraded to iOS 7 so I suspect that iOS 7 is to blame and the other system differences aren't an issue (i.e. I also upgraded to Windows 8.1 but it never worked properly when I was on Windows 8). For me, the only way to "sync" all the smart playlists and music is to restore from backup and then the first sync seems to work. However, I haven't tried that recently (I tried it a month back or so and it worked then) because it is ridiculous to have to restore your phone just to sync things! Apple needs to fix the iOS 7 quality issues.

Treo Pro will not sync with Vista SP1

I'm really hoping somebody can help me here. I just replaced my aging 700p with the long-awaited Treo Pro (Sprint). I've actually been looking forward to getting fully Windows-based, since my 700p syncing was routinely problematic - always having to do workarounds and plug in the cord just the right way, etc...
Let me try to give you the flow so far.
I have Vista SP1
I get Treo Pro
I plug Treo Pro into Vista, SP!, all ready to sync up my Outlook 2007 data.
Treo Pro fires up a very impressive looking installation routine.
Routine seemingly works fine - getting me to the point where you unplug and reconnect your device to do your first sync
I reconnect, and hear the Windows "USB connect" sound, then.... nothing.
I open WMDC and it says "not connected"
I open "USB to PC" on the Treo, and uncheck the "advanced networking" box as suggested by some other posts.
Windows sees the difference and installs a couple of other drivers.
Windows connects, gives me the "USB connect" sound, and WMDC says "not connected"
The Treo appears to attempt a sync, but finishes with a message "To synchronize this device, you must install ActiveSync 4.5 or newer on your desktop computer. "
HUH? ActiveSync only works with XP - of course I can't install that!
By the way, I tried the same thing with my Vista SP1 laptop. Same exact results.
Also, at no time have I seen the WMDC icon in the tray area. (I remember having a Nino way back when, and the ActiveSync icon was down there)
I thought this was supposed to be easy - Windows PC, Windows device. Piece of cake, right? Not so. If I cannot get this thing to connect, I'm getting a Centro! (not my first choice....)
A thought... any chance this could have to do with having Palm Hotsync still installed (from my Treo 700p)?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

On Windows XP, having HotSync installed didn't interference with using ActiveSync with a Treo 800w. This is not exactly the same as your setup, but close enough that I think HotSync is not likely to be the problem.
How did you install WMDC? The downloadable User Guide (PDF pp44-46) refers to running the PC Setup program. Did that part go as expected?
I don't use Vista, so I'm not familiar with the additional complications that might be involved...

Non-recurring calendar entries did not restore from backup

I synch contacts and calendar from PC, music and video from Mac. In the past, when I synced a new iphone for the first time, the backup on Itunes on my Mac automatically restored all contacts and calendar entries onto the new iPhone. Today, however, when I did the maiden sync on new 3GS (old iphone was first generation), my contacts and settings seem to have generally been restored, but none of my calendar entries made it over except for a few repeat calendar entries. I'm assuming I will pick up the missing calendar entries when I do my first sync to PC, but does anyone have a theory as to why this happened? Shouldn't all contacts and calendar entries be restored from the backup on the Mac, even though I do not keep my contacts and calendar on the Mac? Thanks for the help.

Follow up to my post -- I now realize that the contacts that got restored to my 3GS are in fact way outdated -- so it appears that the backup from which I restored, while it seems to have had current settings, had very outdated contacts and calendar. It may be that at one time the backup process captured contacts and calendar but no longer does, which I guess means the user has to sync to the computer where he syncs contacts and calendar to get current data onto the iphone (just like I did for music). This may sound obvious to most people, but bear in mind that my 3GS got a list of contacts (and some calendar entries) from SOMEWHERE when I synced to my Mac, even though my Mac has no such data (it is on my PC in Outlook).
