Sync Groups In Outlook - can't
My iphone works well with Outlook for calendar and contacts. However, to shorten the ridiculous time to scroll through 1500 contacts, I would like to restrict the sync process to only transfer selected Outlook catagories.
My problem is that the option to "sync selected catagories" cannot be selected or activated.
Any Ideas?
Note: iphone suggestion: allow users to enter a "group" contact that actually contains a list of contact names and numbers. Think of a directory named "Restaurants" containing seperate lines with other the information of other contacts, namely restaurant name and phone number.
Currently this is not an option offered by the iPhone. Others have sorted in different ways by building the names/companies differently so that they group together. As far as ths sort that you are used to...it does not exist...yet. Make a suggestion to apple.
Good Luck

Syncing Groups with Outlook 2010 and Iphone 5
I am having trouble with my groups in my contacts in Outlook 2010 transferring to my Iphone 5. I have resynced my history, but that has not helped my problem. I have several groups that I email on a regular basis for work related issues. These groups have up to 125 people. The people in the groups change, and so I will move them to an inactive group on my Outlook 2010, but they will not move from the current group on my Iphone. HELP!
What app are you syncing the tasks to? Are you using an Exchange account?

Help with Sync Calendar with Outlook all appointments do not sync..
I am not a super tech but I do have some pretty good skills for a girl, if i do say so myself.... however I am So frustrated.. I need help.
This is my very first public post.. So I hope I give all the info that will help, but if I missed something, please let me know.
Here is some background info:
I have a BB Bold
I do NOT use it on an enterprise (network)
I sync my bb with my dell
Windows Vista (UGH!!!)
Microsoft outlook - Version 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001
My calendar and my contacts are the most important reason I have a bb
My contacts are FINE
My calendar is a MESS
I have 2 separate email addresses working though my bb.. For the purposes of his post I will refer to them as
[email protected] and
[email protected]
When I make appointments in my work calendar, I do one of the 2 things to get all my appointments on the BB
Schedule my gmail address as an attendee to the appointment or
Forward the appointment to my gmail address from my work email
When I make appointments directly from my BB I do it by selecting Menu>New = my gmail account defaults as the "send using"
BB Info:
When I am in the calendar and I select >Menu.Options> Calendars> I have 3 options
[email protected] which has (518 entries)
Device Default which has (157 entries)
[email protected] which has (429 entries)
When I go to Menu>Options>Advanced Options>Default Services>(CICAL) is [email protected] it shows that I have the options to select my Gmail OR my .mac address
Here is the problem - this did not used to happen, and I quite honestly didnt realize that my backup was messed up so i have NO idea how long this is going on.
When I sync with Outlook
There are only 518 appointments that are synced
I cannot get the other 157 (device default) + 429 (mac) to sync with my outlook
Can anyone help me get them all on my gmail calendar? or into my outlook so that I can then sync back with the BB
I do not sync my bb with my mac
Here is what I have tired:
Screaming at the computer
Screaming in spanish at the blackberry
ignoring them both
I have restrained myself from throwing both of them against the wall.
but seriously
I have set the BB desktop manager to do a one way sync > bb to outlook = NOTHING Only the gmail syncs
I have changed the (CICAL) to my mac address and performed a sync = NOTHING - only the gmail syncs
I am at a loss and would appreciate any help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi,
We shall then forget about the MAC records.
Outlook contains the 158 records from the Gmail associated calendar.
The default calendar records need to be cleared and restored to the Gmail associated Calendar.
The resulting Blackberry gmail associated calendar will then be synchronized with Outlook to add the former default records
resulting in synchronized calendars on both Outlook and the Blackberry.
Read this over, I suggest more than once. Method three is what we are going to do.
Let me know tomorrow what questions you have with the procedure so we can make sure we are successful.
KB16063 Unexpected results occur when synchronizing with a BlackBerry smartphone that has multiple CICAL service records.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks,

I cannor sync my contact groups from Outlook 2010 (Win 7) onto my iPad. Can anyone help please ?
in Itunes, once you connect the iPad, do you see the 'info' tab? Tap that and scroll down and see if outlook is chosen as the place to sync contacts from. If not, check it and sync and see if your contacts move over.

How can I sync Notes from Outlook with my iPhone
Calendar, Contacts and E-mail works great, but I live by the notes in Outlook. I switch from Blackberry to iPhone. I am using notes to store quick account info and notes from users while working. When I am back to the office I sync everything with outlook so I can have backup in case something happens to my phone. Any chance somebody developed App that can be used to sync notes between Outlook and iPhone, or even ITunes and iPhone?
I think I solved my problem. Contacts in Outlook have Notes section. I just created another set of contacts and rename that contact group "NOTES". I copied all my notes from notes folder in outlook to this new contact group and now my notes are syncing using exchange active sync just like my regular contacts. Problem solved without any third party application.

gentlemen, i am not able to sync all my contacts on my iphone to Microsoft outlook. i have 396 contacts on my iphone and only 385 in my outlook. can you please help?
Hi Kinnera2740,
On the old phone go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Are there any email accounts listed here? Such as Google, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc?
If so, tap on each of them and check the 'Contacts' option. If it is turned on, this means that contact syncing is enabled for that account and that your contacts may already be synced to that mail account.
Also check Settings > iCloud and look for the 'Contacts' option. Is it enabled? If so, then it is possible that some contacts could be synced to your iCloud account as well. You can check to see which contacts are in which account by going to the Contacts app on your old phone and pressing the 'Groups' button in the top left corner. You may see several groups here. Uncheck all groups and then check each group one at a time to check and see how many contacts are synced to each account. You may need to add the same mail accounts to your new phone and enable contact syncing to have the contacts from the mail servers sync down to the new phone. -

I have a iphone 4s with ios 8.3 and I used to be able to sync only a week or two of emails from outlook email. Now it won't let me do that and it syncs all my inbox. How can I change it back to sync less. I can't find the right place.
I understand, as that was the place I would change it before 8.3 but now that option of Mail Days to Sync is not available? Any idea why that would be?

How can I sync my Microsoft Outlook tasks with my Ipad reminders? I dont want to use Icloud or an exchange
Plug it into your computer. Tell it to sync with "this computer" instead of iCloud. You shouldn't have to remove any apps. Otherwise, you can save the app data by using i-FunBox ( http://www.i-funbox.com/ ) just go to the "devices" tab and select 'user applications' and select all of your apps and tell iFunBox to "copy to pc" you're done! You have them all backed up.

After upgrade to OS5, I can no longer sync to my Outlook calendar
I recently upgrade to OS5 but now I can no longer sync to my Outlook calendar, any advice?
I have this problem too, only I now have Firefox 9.0.1.
I don't know what the developers are doing to Firefox recently, but it makes me want to switch to another browser. Please make it work like it always used too. There were never this kind of problems when you were "thinking" about and fully testing each update. -
I want to sync tasks in Outlook with my iPhone. I have tried Toodledo (not good) and Todo. Todo works, but it cuts off most of the text. I only get the beginning of my (long) lists. Any ideas how I can solve this problem? I starting to regret that I switched to iPhone...
Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.
