Sync Duplication of Contacts and Calendars

Hi all,
I am having duplication issues with Contacts and Calendars. I tried getting iPhone (via iTunes), iCal and Google Calendar to sync up but strange anomalies took hold such as conflicting dates. So I bought Spanning Sync. This promised to eradicate and "robust up" my syncing. Now the problem is that all of my contacts on the iPhone appear twice many of my calendar entries appear twice too. Very annoying. I'm predicting responses like "3rd party software makes it hard to diagnose", but I did try with Mac and Google on their own but they wouldn't work.
I have since checked and unchecked all the boxes in iTunes (related to iPhone syncing) and re-synced but to no avail.
Hoping someone has experience of something similar and a solution!
Thanks
Ben

Is there a way to sync my blackberry contacts and calendar with my iPad using iCloud?

I still use my blackberry and am not giving it up so quickly...but in the months Ive been using my iPad it has definitely become an alternative at times.
Therefore is there a way tp sync my Blackberry contacts and calendar with my iPad using iCloud?

You three would do better to sync to google directly. Google has a blackberry app that will allow you to sync your contacts and calendars. The app isn't perfect, but it works reasonably well, especially if you're just using one calendar to sync.
Then there's plenty of ways to sync those to your iPad using Google, including Exchange, or simply adding it as a google account.
As for iCloud, there really isn't any supported or unsupported method to do what you're trying to do, at least at this time. If there is, it would definitely be a hack and I would be wary of risking your contact or calendar data on it..

Sync Multiple Outlook contact and calendar folders

We have multiple Outlook contact and calendar folders in Outlook (Work and Personal). Is it possible to sync multiple folders to the iPhone?

The problem is excactly what I just found out while trying to sync my new N97, which I also bought for the reason, it was said to be able to sync my outlook contacts (etc.). But sorry, just syncing one folder nearly equals to it cannot sync at all. I am really upset, to see the lack of this function to such a sophisticated mobile and software. (The mobile cannot do nothing about it, it is a problem of PC Suite. But the mobile worth only so much, as it is supported by the software!)
To add to blutarskys request, it is not only used in business, that people have folders in Outlook contacts. Hello, it is the most convenient way, to organize groups of contacts, like family, friends, colleagues, support, etc. pp. Myriads of people use that function as it is one of the most basic functions.
So please Nokia, launch this feature up asap. It is deeply requested.
Without, N97 is of no use for me. I still cannot believe, it is not possible. I still just hope someone will state, that we just overlooked it.
Kind regards.

Syncing iCloud with contacts and calendar in MS Outlook 2007, will get message that "the set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened."

I install the iCloud Control Panel and information is uploaded from my Outlook Contact folder to iCloud. ICloud folders are created and syncing process between my iPhone, iCloud, and Outlook works for a while (day or 2). Then, when I open Outlook after a day of 2, I get the above message that "The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened." The only resolve that I have found is to uninstall the iCloud Control Panel, the reboot my Windows computer, then reinstall the iCloud Control Panel and resync contacts and calendar to icloud. This is getting to be very cumbersome to use this feature. What is the cause of the problem that it keeps on disconnecting to iCloud?

I have also fixed it by uninstalling and then reinstalling iCloud, but as you have experienced, the problem recurs without reason. Apple would/could not help as they say that the problem is with Microsoft's Outlook and that I should talk to them. Microsoft's techies won't help without me paying some £200 as I have a Professional - a student's - version of Office 2007. This is scandalous. It is obvious, from the many who have reported the same problem n this forum, that Microsoft should look into this urgently and create a fix

HT1386 Windows 8 Syncing Problem with Contacts and Calendars Office 2007 and iphone 4

I have a new Dell Inspiron 17R and just did a sync with my iphone 4. It wiped out my contact and calendar listing. I have selected the contacts and calenders sync option. It is almost like the sync process can not fine the pst file on this new Windows 8 computer.

For this particular issue, as suggested by yellowadept, go the the info tab at under the advanced section, choose replace contact information on iphone. This will over write any contact information on the iphone with what you have in address book on the computer.
However, if you are interested in what part of the 111 contacts will be changed, you could open address book first. Then highlight all your contacts and click on file>export>as vcard. Then you could back up all your contacts to your desktop. After you export all your contacts then you could sync the iphone and allow the changes to see what changes were made. If the iphone actually changed anything, then you could delete all your contacts in address book, then import the vcards back in.
Also, keeping a back-up of your contacts and calendars is a pretty good idea.
Hope this helps.

Problems syncing iPhone 4S contacts and calendar with Outlook 2007

Hello. I am having difficulties syncing my iPhone 4S Contacts and Calendar with Outlook 2007. It used to work perfectly with my iPhone 4, but now I am having difficulties both ways. That is, I add something to my Outlook 2007 Calendar, sync in iTunes, but it doesn't appear in my iPhone. Or, I add a Contact to my iPhone, sync in iTunes, but it doesn't appear in Outlook 2007. I believe I have the iTunes settings correct.

Me too. Think it is since 6.1.3.
Interesting other quirk is that as well as NOT syncing my calendar, it also unticks my calendar from pc on the iphone.
When ii retick it, i get the calendar back, but as it was before the sync, ie, it does not have the bnew events from my pc in it.
This is a 2 way problem.
New events on my iphone wont sync to my pc, and new events on my pc wont sync to my iphone.

My iPad and iPhone are not syncing notes, calendars or contacts.

Hello
Notes, Contacts and Calendar event can come from other sources too.

Are each of your devices signed in with each account, that could be used to sync them?

Syncing Outlook 2010 contacts and calendar

I've read the many entries on this topic, but can't find exactly what I need. I have Outlook 2010 with Windows 7 on my computer.
I've found the sections about contacts and calendars in iTunes. It will only let me enter "Windows Contacts" -- a choice of theirs. For calendars, it says no supported calendars are located. I can't enter anything in the box to tell it to find Outlook.
What do I do?

Same problem here. I finally went at it app by app. If you turn contacts off, then you can get the calendar to synch. If you turn on calendar and contacts, then they BOTH lock up and won't synch.
The problem seems to be in the contacts app. Synch your contacts with iTunes once, and then turn off contacts in icluod. This should work.

Syncing iOS 7 contacts and calendars to Gmail

I am wondering if anyone can tell me what settings to adjust, to have my current iPhone contacts and calendar inputs added to my Gmail account online.
Currently, I have gone to Settings > Mail, Contact, Calendars > Gmail > and i have the Mail, Contacts and Calendars selected. But I do not see any of the contacts or calendar entries in my Gmail account online, via my computer.
This will all be done an a Windows computer.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance. Any suggestions of third party apps to get this done, free or paid, would be appreciated as well.

How to sync C5-00 contacts and calendar with hotma...

Hi all, I am moving from my good old nokia 5800 to a "new" Nokia C5-00.
My "old" Nokia had its contacs and calendar sync'd woth my hotmail.com account and its maps favourite places sync'd with my ovi.com account.
How can I have the same synchronization on my C5-00?
I tried to setup both synchronization, but I only end up with some generic error messages:
If I go to Maps => Favourites => Synchronise with Ovi and I enter my OVI username and password, I only got an error.
If I use the "synchronize" app, I am supposed to manually confire many option about the synchronization server. I tryed different options to use m..hotmail.com as a server but I was not able to use it
I know I can use Nokia OVI suite to sync my phone with my PC, but I would like to have a direct sync with my hotmail.com account: is that possible?
Thanks
Andrea

We need error messages word-for-word even if they look generic. Anyway, in that case, please continue there …

Problems with Sync with Outlook contacts and calendar (Office 2007)

I have been able to set up my Blackberry curve with email accounts, but sync with Outlook contacts fails. My device will show as connected, but nothing happens. I continue to get a message if I want to use Mass Storage mode on my phone and I assume this should be checked as yes, then I get a folder showing up on my desktop with "Removable Disk (E, which contains several files.
When Desktop Manager is opened I get message "Initial Plugin: Verifying Applications" "checking the status of the applications on the device. This is only required on the first connection of the device to a new desktop installation" It shows in the same dialog box "connecting to the device (JVM)...
The connection hangs and nothing happens. I have reinstalled software and was even told by Verizon Support to exchange the phone (which I did), but the same issue of non-connection for sync is still there.
Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

iTunes thread found that sync issue was caused by reoccuring appointments,
Basically you need to modify the reoccuring appointments (and may require to add an end date as this was how the guy made a modification) and then re-sync.
