Sync calendar using Groupwise Server?

I have Outlook on my computer, but we use Groupwise server for the Company. Whenever I post an appointment to my iphone it creates an error during sync and will not put the appointment on my calendar in Outlook. Anyone else have this issue?

I use Touchdown for my work email exchange server. You can set up to see the exchange sent emails with it. Yes it is a little pricey, but it works real well, and the setup was pretty easy ( they have a automatic setup that you can use that is pretty good). They have a 30 day trial version that they insist you try to make sure it works for you before you buy. You can find Touchdown in the market, by searching for Touchdown, or NitroDesk.
The only requirement is that your work has OWA (Outlook Web Access) enabled. If you can check your emails from outside the company through a browser, then OWA is enabled.

Syncing calendars using Outlook 2007 from iCal Server

Hi,
I would like to know the procedure to sync calendars using Outlook 2007 from iCal Server.
I'm setting up Internet Calendar on Outlook 2007 from == Tools> Account Settings> Internet Calendars>New> Enter the URL and click on add button
Post that, I'm getting an error:
"Error: Cannot verify or add the Internet Calendar in Outlook. Verify the link is a valid calendar link:
webcal://fully qualified domain name:8443/calendars/_uids_/Generated UID/Calendar"
Looking forward some response soon.
Thanks!!

Hi!
That is never going to work if you are looking for 2-way sync with iCal server. You need a 3rd party application to do that, like ical4ol or the open source Outlook sync plugin available here: http://caldav.calconnect.org/implementations/clients.html.
Or alternatively, use another mail client like eMClient for mail and calendaring.

ATT 680 won't sync calendar entries to server

I am using Active Sync to access my e-mail, etc. It syncs everything from server to phone without difficulty. It won't sync calendar or contacts from phone to server (and there is no error message). I think I understand that it can't sync contacts, but should sync calendar. I have seen several postings about this in this forum, but the answers seem to relate to different phones or different carriers. I have the latest update for ATT 680 users which included an EAS update. My versamail is v. 3.5.5
Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)

You may want to check with your IT professional(s) to see if you can sync Calendar to the server. The reason being is because some servers restrict things or users from doing certain things. The defaults, unless changed, are setup to sync calendar and contacts usually.

Publish iCal Calendar using Tiger Server

I've been searching for a simple way to publish iCal calendars using Tiger Server. Here is what I need to do:
I need one user to be able to publish multiple "studio schedule" calendars to the Tiger server...and I need all the regular users in the studio to be able to subscribe to it so that they can see what work they have scheduled for the day. The regular users do NOT need to be able to make changes to the calendar...they only need to see it. (and print it if needed) Only the studio manager needs to be able to see and edit the published calendar.
I called Apple support for help on this one and they told me they would have to charge me $695 just for me to be able to get help on this....which surprised me because I'm just trying to use their software to do something it is supposed to be able to do! LOL The only other suggestion he could give was for me to look to the discussion groups here for help....so here I am!
HELP!

The first thing you need to do is set up WebDAV on the Server and share a directory. If you need instructions on how to that just follow this thread.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2793917#2793917
Once you've set up a shared directory you just publish the calendar to it from within iCal.
To do that, set up a calendar, select it and then select 'Publish' under the 'Calendar' menu. In the dialog box that opens up give the calendar a name without spaces. Select 'Publish on: a Private Server'.
In the field for 'Base URL:' fill-in the complete url to the server directory you set up previously using the WebDAV instructions. For example, if you set up a directory on the server called 'calendars' and the URL of the server is www.example.com you would put in 'Base URL: http://www.example.com/calendars'.
Now enter the 'Login' name and 'Password' for an account that has access to the shared directory as you've set it up using the WebDAV instructions.
Select the other options you want to enable in the dialog box and then click on 'Publish'. Now the calendar is published and available for others to subscribe to.
Now to subscribe to the calendar, just select 'Subscribe' under the 'Calendar' menu in iCal and enter the URL for the calendar. Using the example from above you would enter 'webcal://www.example.com/calendars/StudioWork.ics' for a calendar that was named 'StudioWork'.
You can also email the URL for the published calendar by selecting it in iCal and selecting 'Send Publish Email...' under the 'Calendar' menu in iCal.

E51 - how to sync calendar using WIFI ?

Hello
Is it possible to sync the calendar of the phone using a WIFI connexion ?
My E51 is up to date (firmware updated today), and my mailbox contains a calendar which is compatible CalDav or iCal.
Thanks for any information about it.

Thanks cryhavok, I've already looked at it.
Using "Menu/Tools/Sync", I've create a new profile.
I've setup the SSL Certificate, but I don't know what is "remote database" when I choose the application "calendar"...

How should i sync calendars using iCloud?

I need my calendar on my iPhone 4s synced with my boss's calendar on his iPhone 4s. We both have (different) apple id's but we need to see the same information. I think icloud can do this, but I'm not sure how to set it up or if this is the best option.
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
He can share his calendar from iCal on a mac or from iCloud.com.

Syncing calendars using Plaxo, what about TO DO's......?

I'm using Plaxo nowadays to keep my Addresbook and iCal-calendars synchronized over several computers, and that works fine, even under Leopard. But my TO DO's is a mess. They show up in Mail and in iCal. But how can I make sure that they are also synchronized accross different computers?
Any advice appreciated!
Frank

I appreciate your perseverance , but that way doesn't work for me. iCal and Mail are giving me two sets of calendars - there is a set associated with my email account, and a separate set associated with the "on my mac" account. I cannot assign calendars associated with the emails to my on-my-mac to-dos, and vice versa, even using the pull-down menu you describe.
I did, however, find a solution to my problem. Once a ToDo is created from an email message, the ToDo can be moved from the email account to the on-my-mac account. Once it has been moved, THEN I can assign the calendar I want.
Although I have a workaround, I wonder whether I am alone in experiencing this problem.

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Can I sync my iPhone calendar with exchange server AND ical on my mac ?

I have been happily using my iPhone synced with my Macbook over usb via iTunes.
I have contacts and iCal syncing. I have a number of 'calendars' set up in iCal which allow me to view separate aspects of home and work but they all exist within iCal. iPhone just treats these as colour coded appointments (different colour for each ical calendar)
I really like this set up.
However, I just changed jobs to a firm where they have a hosted outlook exchange set up and I need to use the exchange calendar for work appointments and showing my availability.
I have managed to setup my iPhone to work with the Exchange server for email as well as in apple Mail on my mac. This has all worked fine. However, I hesitated when iPhone asked if i wanted to sync my contacts and calendar. I said no as I was unsure if my private calendar/contacts would be uploaded to the public work area.
In fact it seems that this is the least of my worries:
As I have read on apple support for iPhone:
"Note that after configuring an Exchange ActiveSync account, all existing contact and calendar information on the iPhone or iPod touch is overwritten. Additionally, iTunes no longer syncs contacts and calendars with your desktop computer. You can still sync your iPhone or iPod touch wirelessly with MobileMe services."
So I am really pleased that I didn't let it sync those and wipe out my personal data if that is really true.
But now I am unsure how best to enable myself to view and update the work calendar on exchange.
Also it would be nice to see work contacts on my iPhone.
Contacts
- although i have said no to sync contacts with Exchange in fact it looks like I can get contacts ok - when i send email from the Exchange account on the phone , it searches Exchange contacts on the server as i type in the TO box.
- also in Contacts on the iPhone I have a new group that has been created with the name of my Exchange account. The group appears to be blank when you go into it on the phone, but you can type in the search box and get contact details from the server just fine.
This seems workable for now for my purposes, although updating contacts is not going to be possible that way.
I'd like more info on that if poss but more importantly..
Calendar
- Unlike Contacts, no Calendar has been auto created for Exchange
- Unlike contacts, I can't see how I can view or search or create an appointment in my Exchange calendar on the iPhone
What is the best solution to this problem - I presume lots of people face the same dilemma. My initial research suggests that there are multiple ways round this but all of them look like workarounds with various disavantages.
Questions are
- Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
- Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
- What is the best work around for this?
At the moment I am seriously considering getting a separate iPhone for work and have that sync with Exchange fully although that seems a bit drastic and does not solve the problem of seeing work and home appointments on the same calendar.

Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
What is the best work around for this?
None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

IPhone 3GS will not sync calendars because the sync server failed. Just installed Outlook 2010. Is there a fix for this?

My iPhone 3GS could not sync calendars to the iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone. Just installed Outlook 2010. Is there a fix for this?

I am simply lookig for some help not an argument. I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts. I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another. As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP. This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue. I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion. In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues. I am able to browse the internet as much as I want. I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems? Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best? BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time. Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. -- Thanks

ITunes could not sync calendars to ---'s iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone

iTunes could not sync calendars to ---'s iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone. How can this be resolved? I can figure out if the sync server failed to sync then iTunes would not sync the calendars. Everything syncs on my iPad mini 3 wifi and my iphone syncs my contacts but not the calendars. So what gives?

Brenden,
thanks for the reply, but the troubleshooting tips seemed to concentrate on 'Lion"," Snow Leopard" and the like, I haven't a clue what any of that is. I am using Windows 7 Pro with Service Pack 1 on my desktop and my iPhone is using iOS 8.1.2, as is my iPad mini. As I said on my previous post, syncing on my iPad mini works fine, It is just the iPhone that fails to sync the calendars. Hopefully a solution can be found as it is difficult to keep things synced on my iPad and then have to add everything manually onto my iPhone.

Can you still sync calendars and contacts using I tunes if using I cloud

My wife and I use a common user account and do not want to share our contacts or certain calendars. Can we continue to sync these using I Tunes and Icloud and do not allow calendars and contacts to move up to icloud. My contacts are not syncing with my I phone now when I conect my computer using I tunes. This is a problem.

I suggest extreme caution and a long discussion with Apple before doing anything. No one at Apple warned me that Apple automatically syncs with Outlook 2007 via iCloud (I do NOT use MS Exchange Server). I synchronized once using the cable between my iPhone 4S and my pc running Windows 7. Both Contacts and Calendars have relocated within Outlook and calendars does not sync properly, neither with nor without iCloud on of off. 1-800-APL-CARE has said this is an Outlook problem and absolved themselves of further assistance.
I rely on calendar and contact syncing for my business and both files are currently totally messed up with many duplicates, and some missing items, plus sync does not work consistently and most often gives error messages which Apple cannot locate or help fix.
I tell you all this to emphasize the importance of NOT trying anything yourself until Apple gives you all the facts and guides you through the maze. Techs in the Apple Store set up all my initial connections and I had not altered them unless told to do so by Apple. It may be to late to rescue me and my business, but not too late for you.

Syncing Calendars and Contacts without the complete home folder on the server

I've been trying to set up syncing of calendars and contacts using Mavericks server. I've read a lot of posts on various ways of doing this but am at a loss as to the how the various parts of the solutions work which may be why I haven't been able to get things to work.
I've installed Server.app and got Open Directory set up. I want to sync the calendars for two users on a couple of client machines (both running Snow Leopard at the moment) and three mobile devices. The clients were set up before the server and so the user accounts are local. Putting the home folders and all the files they contain on the server is not an option as there's not enough disk space. Ideally I'd like to have all the user files on the local machines and only the data I need to sync on the server. Is this possible? All of the information I've read on migrating local users to network users suggests that their complete home folder needs to be put on the server and I've not found any way to set up the syncing successfully without making them network users.

Thanks for the answer Simon. That seems simple enough but there are some things which aren't clear.
If I create accounts on the server for the users independently (ie not ownership of the home folder) they're going to have different UID's. Surely this means that even with the same account name and password, they're going to be treated as unique users. Does that not affect who has write access? I don't know how the Calendar and Contact servers work so this may be irrelevant.
How do you "have the server host their calendar and contact details"? Copying the files for the existing local users to the new users on the server will leave them with invalid permissions.
I have read that using the Calendar and Contact components of Server.app is not a supported way of syncing across machines and that they're intended to be used for shared information rather than syncing. But maybe there is no way to avoid an "unsupported method" without moving the home folder. Is this a method you're using?
I'll do a bit of testing with this but would also be grateful for any additional hints.
