Status of Z10 sync with MS Outlook

I loved my old BB Curve.  The sync option was awesome.  Sadly, when it was time to get a new phone a few years ago, BB had nothing good on the market. 
Now, well, it's decision time.  I was about to buy the Z10, but then learned to my dismay that perhaps it does not (easily) sync with Outlook.  I thought to myself that BB made a HUGE mistake here.  I mean, really, isn't that one of the KEY selling points for business professionals who rely on MS product syncing?  What a disaster.
So, after spending HOURS today trying to figure out the real deal before investing in this phone, I need to know the bottom line.  I've read that in 2013, it did not sync without re-tooling the product.  Now, I've read that possibly in 2014, the OS may be updated to sync with ease.  My operating system in Microsoft Outlook2007 and Windows 2007 Home Premium, on a PC.
I'm too busy and not interested in getting a product that I have to re-learn, re-program, buy aftermarket downloads, blah blah blah.  I want something that plugs in, and works easily and seemlessly after an easy install. 
So, if the BB doesn't sync, I'll move on to another brand that does.  I really hope the designers at BB didn't drop the ball on this and that it does, but if not, oh well. 
So, please advise whether it will sync with Outlook Calendar and Contacts, and how, or whether I need to look elsewhere.

BB have made a huge mistake with this. I have had a Z10 for a week now. Love the phone and interface, but its a pontless piece of kit if the email side of it doesn't work.
My issue is that the phone doesn't synch with MS excahnge reliably. sometimes it's there and sometime it says my Inbox is empty. Howevre it does synch my contacts and my sent items box. Calendar has he same issue as the in box.
Our IT dept and teh carrier's tech guys have now given up and my following a complaint to the carrier's sales people they now tell me we should n't have bought the phone as it is incompatible with MS excahnge!
Well done BB. Another nail in the coffin! 
Looks like I'll have to spend 3 times as much and go buy an iphone.....which is not what I want to do.

  • Putting pressure on BB/Rim to reintroduce USB syncing with Microsoft Outlook

    Is there some way that we can put pressure on BB/Rim to reintroduce USB syncing with Microsoft Outlook? I work in a world where over-the-air or cloud services are unacceptable because of the security risks, either real or perceived. I know there are many other people like me. I can't believe that, after having made such monumentally stupid and high-profile mistakes in the past, BB/Rim has now decided to alienate so many loyal BB customers by dispensing with such a simple transfer mechanism. The Z10 is a beautiful machine but the lack of synchronicity is getting in the way of my doing business. Judging by some of the posts I've seen, there are quite a lot of others who feel the same way. Assuming that BB/Rim executives were not  drunk, stoned or brainstem dead when they came up with this stupid plan to do away with USB syncing, is there any action we can take to make BB/Rim aware of the rapidly escalating damage they are doing to their own brand? After all, if the Z10 fails, it's difficult to see what long-term future there will be for the company anyway, so you would think that BB/Rim wouldn't want to chuck their future away, would you?

    The best way is to call O2 and ask for this issue to be escalated to BlackBerry Tech Support, they need to hear from the carriers as well.
    I'd also drop a line to BlackBerry at www.blackberry.com/contact

  • I have an apple iphone 4gs... It is synced with my outlook exchange in the office. If I do a search for emails that also checks the server then all of a sudden I end up with various amounts unread email with the inbox saying "Inbox 71" ..which is not true

    I have an apple iphone 4gs... It is synced with my outlook exchange in the office. If I do a search for emails that also checks the server then all of a sudden I end up with various amounts unread email with the inbox saying "Inbox 71" ..which is not true. The only way to make the inbox on the iphone back to 0 is to delete the account then re install it.
    Anyone have any ideas

  • IOS7 syncing with MS Outlook 2010 no longer syncs all the contact information

    With the new iOS7 on an iPhone 4s, syncing with MS Outlook 2010 on win XP, the phone no longer syncs all the contact information as it used to before I updated to iOS7 and iTunes 11.1, and now ignores the "Home" addresses I have on Outlook.  It also apprears to miss some other bits of information too, but the home addresses are key for when I am away from the computer. How can I resolve this syncing error? Thank you.

    The same thing is happening to me since upgradng to iOS7, although I am syncing contacts with Mac contacts, not Outlook.

  • How do I set up my iphone to sync with my outlook account?

    How do I set up my iphone to sync with my outlook account?

    Hi maryannmc,
                          You have two options.
    1. You can plug the iPhone into iTunes and select the "Info" tab and choose "Sync Mail Accounts" and this will transfer the settings across.
    2. In the iPhone you can go to Settings > General > Mail, Contacts and Calendars and choose "Add account"
    You will need to know if your account is POP, IMAP or Exchange and this will help determine what settings you need to enter and how to set it up so both your computer and iPhone can receive email.
    The iPhone can add most popular accounts with ease such as gmail, yahoo or hotmail.
    Hope this helps,

  • Is there an App that will sync with microsoft outlook calender?

    Is there an App that will sync with microsoft outlook calender?

    OK here is a problem I have with my calender- all the events are added mutible times for each event- at least 4 of each. So how do I get all of these mutiable events down to just one event. Now this also includes hollidays and personel events  on the calender from outlook. All this I think happened after sync to Cloud- not sure, could have happened after OS 5 update!!! Now this is on my iPhone 4. Now going to my calender on my home computer in outlook no events or holidays are showing in the outlook my calender. If I go to the icloud calender it has mutiable events and holidays like on my iPhone. Now how do I fix this without causing a problem with my other programs?

  • NOKIA N8 sync with MS Outlook 2007

    I have a Nokia E72. I can directly sync with my MS Outlook via Nokia PC Sync. This syncronises my Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Bookmarks and (very importantly) File and Folder items. (I am running Windows 7.)
    I would like to upgrade to a Nokia N8. Will the Nokia N8 directly sync with MS Outlook via Nokia PC Sync and syncronise ALL these items in the same simple manner as the E72 does. And without any internet connection or reference to Ovi?
    If anyone can help me with this it would be most appreciated. Thanks.

    I am using N8 and MS Outlook 2010 (Windows 7): sync is directly made via nokia suite without any internet connection. You can sync contacts, calendar, notes, bookmarks and a copy is stored in nokia suite too. It is also possible to sync images and music (not via MS Outlook) but I do not think you can sync other folders or files.
    I hope this can help

    my iphone calendar wont sync with my outlook calendar. My inbox seems to be syncing just fine, its just that my iphone calendar is not showing the same events i have in outlook.

    Hi
    I have the a similar problem - only I can't actually get the calendar to show up. I've added the account and it's showing Mail and Notes but not Calendar. But I'd like it to show the outlook calendar.
    I'm going to
    Go to settings > mail contacts calendar
    select your account that's affected
    But under that account there isn't a calendar showing and I can't see any options to add it?

  • I can sync with my outlook calendar, but cannot sync with contacts or e-mail.

    I can sync with my outlook calendar, but cannot sync with contacts or e-mail.  When I click on Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars it doesn't open and reverts to the home page.  When I try to open Mail I get an error message saying "Cannot get mail.  The user name or password for Gmail is incorrect".  If I press "settings" it reverts to home page.  I was revised to restore settings which I have now done, but the problem has not been resolved. Can anyone help?
    i do have a gmail account and may have used this when I first set up itunes/ipad (I'm new to Apple).  However, I want to synchronize with my Microsoft Exchange account.

    It may be a bit late for your needs, but there's a sync product for Outlook (an add-in) that will sync public and private folders/calendars.  Once you have your items in a mailbox folder, the regular ios sync will bring it to your device.  It's called Add2Outlook, it's made by DidItBetter.com Software.
    It syncs private and public, mailboxes and folders in any direction.  One-way, two-way, read-only or writable.  It also works with Office 365 and hosted exchange providers, if that's your situation.  It works for calendars, contacts, tasks, email, whatever.  It can even sync to PST or between two different Exchange servers.
    It installs on your workstation, not on the Exchange server.

  • My iphone4 just stopped syncing with my outlook calendar any ideas for a fix?

    My iphone4 just stopped syncing with my outlook calendar.  Any ideas for a fix?

    My iPhone 3G and Outlook sucessfully synched everything (contacts, calendar, mail accounts, bookmarks, notes) until V 3.0 of the phone software. Then calendar would not synch no matter what. After a couple of hours on the phone with an Apple rep we discovered that when a new user account was set-up in Windows (XP SP 3), and a new instance of Outlook (Office 2003) was opened in that account the Calendar in the new account would sync. However, when the calendar from the old account was imported into the new account (via .pst export / import), it still wouldn't sync. At that point the Apple rep had no more help to offer. After much offline troubleshooting on my own I found a solution that at least worked for me by the following steps:
    1) create a new mail account through: Control Panel | Category View | User Accounts | Mail (Add a new account, don't copy the old one)
    2) don't know whether this step is necessary, but since the "old" .pst file was 1997-02, I exported / imported it into a 2003 Personal Folders .pst file, and then replaced the .pst file on the "new" mail account with the "updated" .pst file from the "old" mail account.
    3) opened the new mail account and exported all Calendar appointments into an Excel file
    4) in Calendar view of Outlook selected: View | Arrange By | Current View | By Category, then did an Edit | Select All and deleted all appointments.
    5) then using File | Import / Export, imported the Excel file of appointments into Calendar,
    6) open iTunes, select Preferences | Devices and Reset Synch History
    7) under Info select only the Calendar Sync option and the option to replace the Calendar information on the phone with the new Calendar.
    The calendar now properly updates (several regualr updates have since been tried). One small annoyance (but preferable to not syncing) the recurring aspect of any appointment (not the appointment itself) is lost, along with any color formatting, but those are easily fixed up afterward.

  • 4s calendar is not syncing with my Outlook desktop

    4s calendar is not syncing with my Outlook desktop.  I thought I had this fixed at one time.

    Also make sure you are using the same iCloud account on your PC and your iPhone.  Go to Settings/iCloud on your iPhone and check the account email address.  Then check the iCloud account on your PC.  If you have a Windows PC, click on the iCloud icon in your system tray to see what icloud email account you are logged into.
    I changed the email on my iPhone and. iPad, but forgot to change the email on my PC and my calendars wouldn't sync.  It finally dawned on me that I forgot to change the account on my PC.

  • Z10 Syncing with Outlook

    I am having difficulties getting a Z10 to sync with Exchange Cloud Service.
    I guess I have the following questions:
    1. Is this even possible? I do not have a BES
    2. What server address do I need to use? I was informed that it need to be the direct outlook address?
    3. Is there anything on the exchange side that needs to be setup? I understand that activesync is on be default.
    4. Is there anything on the phone side that needs to be setup?
    5. Am I missing something? As far as I can tell, other than the server address, all of the information is correct.
    Thanks

    You need to have the right server address. Often, though, if you just enter your email and password it will find he server address automatically. This doesn't work all the time so you may need the exact server address. Contact your IT department that administers your Exchange server. They should be able to tell you the server address.
