Sync with Outlook via RDP?

We have been using a number of TS servers for our users to access Outlook and MS Office apps for years now. However, recently, we have purchased and deployed about 50 Blackberries. We use BIS to set up their pop3 Outlook accounts.
I'm trying to figure out a way for those users to add/sync their phones with Outlook to get their contacts/calendar. Is this even possible? They RDP in to the servers to access their Outlook accounts. I found a thread in techarena about using BES express free version, but it was unclear whether it was free for just one user or up to 30 users. Any ideas are appreciated! Mostly the phones are Pearl flips and some and some Curve 8330s.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
With only BIS, one is natively restricted to email-only OTA. That is the way it is designed. There are all kinds of threads in these forums looking for ways to mimic ActiveSync capabilities via BIS, but I've yet to see anything that truly succeeds. BES is the RIM solution for achieving OTA sync of stuff beyond email.
BESX is the new capability for Exchange users to have nearly all the capabilities of BES, and for free (with limitations, of course...one gets what one pays for!). Here is the announcement article from these forums:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Announcements/Announcing-BlackBerry-Enterprise-Server-Express...
It has links to all kinds of other data, plus the BPS/BESX forum on this site is full of other chatter:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Professional-Software/bd-p/bps_unite
One caveat, however...do not expect to fully mimic ActiveSync under any circumstances. With BES/BESX, you will have OTA calendar and contacts fully synchronized. But, email will remain limited to new emails starting at the point of activation...none of the RIM solutions are designed to fully mirror the entire mailbox on the HH. There are tricks in BES to get some history, but I'm not sure if those even translate into BESX...plus they are limited as well and do not provide 100% (unless, of course, the users mailbox items are within the limitations for history).
Good luck!

How to STOP syncing with Outlook via GPRS?

I use an unlocked iPhone 3G with a prepaid mobile card.
Everytime I open my Calendar function on the iPhone (just to see the days and dates) the iPhone attempts to sync over the air with my Outlook account calendar via GPRS.
This costs a bomb on the prepaid card, and I want to stop the sync function.
Would someone kindly tell me how to STOP the iPhone from syncing with my Outlook Calendar?

If calendar events are synced over the air, this means you are accessing an Exchange account or a MobileMe account.
If you don't want to sync calendar events over the air with the account, you need to turn Calendars off for over the air syncing for the account preferences on your iPhone. This will erase all calendars and calendar events from your iPhone and you will need to sync direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process. If an Exchange account with Outlook on a Winblows PeeCee, this will not be possible.

Sync with Outlook ONLY for a specific date range

I have a Zire 31 that I'm syncing with Outlook via latest Palm Desktop/HotSync. I did just install the latest conduit.
I was getting several repeating calendar entries that were not syncing with the Zire (annual birthdays, etc.) - turns out that they did not have an "end-date" specified when created in Outlook. Creating an end-date solved the problem.
However - I would like to know if it is possible to specify a certain date range for the device to sync (e.g., sync calendar only for years 2007 through 2050, or in other words sync from 1 year ago to 50 years in future, etc...)
I recall specifying this once years ago, but I may have been using a third party to sync with Lotus Notes at the time. I'm wondering if this option is also available with syncing directly with Outlook using HotSync??? I can't imagine it's not, but I can't find where you specify it.
One more interesting note: while my Zire 31 had issues syncing those repeating calendar entries - my much older HandSpring Visor Deluxe syncs them no problem! Go figure.
Thanks much -
Post relates to: Zire 31

I'm not actually looking to purge old items.
Rather - I would like to ONLY sync calendar entries between a specified range of dates. For example - ONLY sync for calendar entries between Jan 1 2007 and Jan 1, 2050.
the problem is that I have some repeating entries (birthdays, etc.) that are set up in Outlook with no end date. Apparently Palm/HotSync is having trouble syncing these (they don't show up at all - for any year.)
One resolution is to apply an end-date for each repeating calendar entry. However, this is just another step my wife needs to remember to do. If you happen to forget to to this, then Hotsync will ignore that entry. Fine if you realize that's happening, but if you forget and forget to check - you won't even know it didn't sync!
The other possible resolution is to only have HotSync sync for a SPECIFIC date range - one that does not presumably go to infinity. That is my question - how does one sync ONLY for a specific date range. Has nothing to do with purging old entries.
Thanks!!

I have a terrible, terrible feeling that I am S.O.L. and that I've just lost a whole lot of money....and a whole lot of songs, movies and books. Best of luck to you. (and me, too. ugh, i could cry!)

Preference -> Accounts
Under accounts you have your local On My Mac account, which Apple supplies the ability to sync with google and yahoo. Then there is no way to sync it with icloud. When you add your icloud account as well you just have 2 seperate address books in the same app, with no way to keep them in sync.
Do you mean like this?
I don't seem to be having any issue adding an iCloud account to address book.

How do I remove one of the calendars from iCloud but keep it on the iPhone to sync with Outlook by USB and keep the other calendars synced on iCloud ?

iPhone 5, Macs and iPads at home, Windoze7 system at work.
Using iCloud to sync calendars, contacts, etc on all the home devices. Used USB cable to sync at work with the Windows system, with the Outlook 2010 corporate account (corporate server). I need only the Outlook calendar to be synced, syncing the contacts created too many problems with duplication, etc. No need for that. Worked fine until the latest upgrate to iOS7 and iTunes 11.1. Used to have a calendar that was not on iCloud and was simply and exclusively syncing between the iPhone and the Windows computer at work. The other 3 calendars synced fine with the macs and iOS devices via iCloud but not with the machine at work - keeping private records private.
Upon the iOS upgrade, all calendars are now on iCloud. I am no longer able to remove one - for security too - from the iCloud and sync it with the Windows computer exclusively. I managed to sync it once on the PC with iTunes by switching iCloud off on the iPhone before connection by USB cable. Trying it again, it tells me that it will erase all items on the Outlook account (the "more than 25% of your records are going to change" alert) and won't add or modify any. I stopped the sync in time...
Tried on the iCloud site for a solution to remove the calendar, nothing.
There is no iCloud setup on this corporate computer - no access permitted. The USB cable connection is the only solution and up to the upgrade of the iOS this went seamlessly.
Any solution out there?
Thanks
Vladski

I share a similar situation (usb iTunes sync with Outlook with my corporate laptop; personal calendar on icloud).
With IOS7, at first, iTunes/Windows does not propose Outlook sync anymore. I need to switch off calendar from iTunes to enable usual usb sync with Outlook. I had to sync it twice while checking "replace iphone data" to get a stable behaviour (like before) IOS7.When I try to re-enable icloud calendars, it proposes me to merge them...
I did not test merging so far...
IOS7 and iTunes 11.1 are not completely polished ;-)

N86 no longer syncs with Outlook Calendar and Task

I have been having much troubles with syncing my N86 (recently updated to 30.009 firmware) to my Outlook 2003 with Ovi Suite 2.1.1.1.
At first, the Contacts kept duplicating themselves. I have about 1000 contacts in my Outlook, but Ovi Suite (and my N86 device) ends up sometimes with 1800 contacts -- of which 800 are duplicates. This is very annoying and time consuming to clean up of course. I have discovered that the problem is somehow linked to Ovi.com. I have since turned off syncing to Ovi.com and only keep my N86 device in sync with Outlook and Ovi Suite. But that wasn't before I had to basically delete all my contacts from the N86 device and from Ovi Suite, followed by a sync to Outlook.
Around this same time, I have noticed that my N86 device was missing appointments that I had entered into Outlook 2003. I discovered that the N86 device no longer syncs to Outlook through Ovi Suite. I keep getting the error message "Sync Canceled -- Could not sync calendar items and tasks. Plug the USB cable into your device again or connect via Bluetooth. Then sync again." I did reconnect my N86 device but the same error message shows each time. Basically, Ovi Suite has stopped syncing Calendar items with my N86 device now.
Can anyone suggest what might have gone wrong? Has anyone else experienced this problem? What can I do to get my calendar items back into my device?
- Kin

Hi Tickles,
Could you be more specific about your issue.
Which operating system do u use?
Are you trying to connect thru cable or thru Bluetooth?
Go to OVI suite -> help -> About nokia OVI suite -> System information. Paste the information...

Sync with outlook, (notes)

I have a Treo650 and planning to get a 16GB iphone.
(A)
I use the "find" search in the treo a lot (searches contacts, to do, notes for any word I type). Does the iphone phone have this capability ? (or a third party application ?)
(B)
Does iphone sync with outlook, contacts, to do list and notes ?
Someone mentioned the notes may be a problem ? I use these intensively in my Treo, and outlook.
The answers to these questions will make by decision to get the iphone or not.

Thanks for your valuable advise.
Most of the features of iphones, example interface & email browser are exceptional !...
What about the note "talking", how long get these be, can a lecturer be recorded on the iphone ?
I was told the iphone can not copy & paste as well ?? (May be via evernote can ??)
If the following could be rectified, it would be unbeatable...
*The cons are:*
Means I will have to install the software at home & at the office for sync. (evernote)
Its a shame the search is only available on the contacts and with the names.
It would have been perfect if it available as a search field, (can be any characters), and searches emails, contacts, notes,
sms's. etc. (available in Palm, and Black berry & possibly windows mobile)

IPhone 4 (iOS5) not syncing with outlook 2010 calendar

Hi Guys,
My iPhone 4 has been working great for the last few months up until recently. I have been able to sync with outlook 2010 for both my contacts and calendar using iTunes sync in the past with no problems.. I went to conference last week and got back in the office sync’d yesterday. Things are not right. My contacts sync, but calendar does not sync either way (phone to PC - PC to phone). I upgraded to iOS5 and reloaded iTunes and I'm having the same problem. I also noticed that my sync is taking much, much longer (like there is a conflict somewhere.) The contacts still sync, but no new/changed calendar entries. Anyone have this problem and have any ideas how do I can fix it? Is it a simple setting switch on the iPhone or iTunes? It's getting very frustrating!! One of my office mates has been taunting me with his android phone and I’m starting to feel like I might have to do something drastic to get my calendar back on my phone…
Outlook version is MS Pro Plus 2010 - 14.0.5128.5000 (64-bit)
iTunes version is 10.5.0.142
iPhone version is 5.0 (9A334)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey, man. Sorry I have no solution, but it may not hurt to know you are not the only one.
I uprgraded a 3GS to iOS 5, set it up to sync with iCloud initially, and then switched back to sync with PC as before. It seems that my calendar was syncing at first, but within a few days it just stopped.
I also recall a ton of weird "sync conflicts" that I had to resolve, even though the iTunes conflict reslover showed information that was identical in Outlook and iPhone calendar.
Notes and contacts sync just fine with Outlook 2003 under Windows Vista for me, but calendar will not sync at all any more, either direction.
I have tried most of the suggestions, including restoring iPhone and creating a whole new user account in Windows and tried syncing iPhone and Outlook via iTunes that way (and both USB and wifi). I did not seem to have any better success.
This is a disaster. So far I have just been using Notes to MANUALLY sync calendar info between devices.
I have never given nearly as much thought to Android as I have lately.
It may be time to call Apple Support, but my previous experiences with them (and the "Geniuses" at the store) were underwhelming.

N95-3 & Syncing with Outlook

I currently use a WM5-based phone which syncs extremely well with Outlook. Using MS ActiveSync, I can sync all contacts and calendar entries including the notes fields for each.
A year or so ago, I had used a Nokia 6256i and PC Suite software. While PC Suite worked, it did not allow me to sync contacts in Last Name, First Name format. Rather, it synced all contacts in First Name Last Name format. Also, it did not sync the notes fields for either contacts or calendar entries.
Syncing with Outlook is the most important function for me in a phone, aside from RF and sound quality.
How well does the N95 & PC Suite combo work? I'm hoping to find people who actually sync with Outlook and can verify first hand whether or not contacts sync in Last Name, First Name format and if the notes fields sync.
Would love to buy a N95 but need to confirm sync functionality first. I don't care about push e-mail, syncing via BT is fine.

All the ones I've used have.

I just need to be absolutely sure that the Outlook Calendar notes field does in fact sync to the N95 using PC Suite? Please humor me and tell me once more that it does.
The notes appear in the Description field on the phone. As with contacts, I believe this has a size limit on the phone, so if the notes are too long, they could get truncated.

Once the sync issue has been put to bed, I just need to decide whether to go forward with the N95-3 or wait for the 8GB US model to arrive next month. I plan on using this in the USA on the AT&T network.
Then I would get a US model as the warranties on phones bought outside the US aren't valid in the US.

Itune sync with outlook calendar

everytime itune sync with outlook calendar,
a calendar folder under Outlook calendar is created.
iphone only sync with the newly created blank folder
therefore, nothing.

Answer Jbieber16:
Normally, when I sync my HTC (Pocket PC) with my notebook, I just plug USB cord to HTC (micro USB head) and notebook (regular USB head). Microsoft Mobile Device Center will automatically start and then sync data between HTC and notebook (sync Microsoft Outlook data, musics, photo, and Microsoft Office files in designated folder).
When sync completed, Microsoft Outlook's contacts, calendar, notes, emails as well as musics, photo, and Microsoft Office files in HTC and Notebook will be identical and updated.
Without USB cord, it can be synced via Bluetooth (cordless).
Note: I posted this question because some of my friends using iPhone told me that "data of Microsoft Outlook will partially sync to iPhone via iTune, not all data". So I check before sync Microsoft Outlook data with my new iPad2.

Syncing with outlook

This is an often asked question, but something for which I have yet to see a satisfactory answer. I am running Windows XP Professional. I also have Outlook 2003 on my desktop. I do not use Microsoft Exchange Server. I have an iPod Nano, an iPad 2, and an iPod Shuffle. I am running iTunes 10 and have the latest OS for iPad 2 (4.3.1?).
I also have a Blackberry Storm. I have been effortlessly syncing contacts, notes and calendar onto my Blackberry via Blackberry Desktop Manager and Outlook over USB for many years now. There is nothing wrong with my Outlook, my contact, notes or calendar entries. In fact, I have been reliably syncing and backing up this information over two desktop computers.
Can someone explain to me why iTunes and Outlook refuse to sync the above items onto my iPod Nano and iPad 2? It is a consistent and persistent problem. I have tried everything suggested on the World Wide Web to remedy this situation. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Outlook and iTunes. I have checked the Apple add-in in the Coms menu in Outlook. I have de-selected all other add-ins. I have replaced the the libleay, ssleay and sqlite3 files in Windows\system32 files. I have installed the latest Open SSL files.
I have reset sync history ad infinitum. I have checked the iTunes calendar, notes and contacts sync with Outlook options.
I have done it all, and nothing works.
I am convinced this is a known technical issue which Apple has refused to address or has been unable to address. Instead of offering a proper patch or resolving the issue, they have instead blamed the users for the problems. This is not right. Apple products are not cheap and they are expected to work out of the box with little configuring. This is what Apple has advertised for many years as a competitive advantage. But if simple tasks like syncing data is such a problem, how savvy can Apple be? Fact is, everyone else seems to be getting it right. Why not Apple?
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Why is it that every other company can get their devices to sync with the most used email, contacts and calendar system in the world, but the so called technology experts and "simplicity" experts can't get their expensive and vaunted devices to work on this same system.
Someone....does anyone have a solution to this problem?????

I just bought an iPad2. I have XP and Office/Outlook 2003 like a lot of people. I've been a big fan over the years of Pocket Informant (WebIS software) and have been using it successfully with my windows mobile devices but am now switching to the iPad2 for obvious reasons. The developers at WebIS have been terrific over the years and responsive to user feedback. They dropped Microsoft like a bad habit when they changed their API and have had iPhone and iPad versions of Pocket Informant out for a few releases now http://www.pocketinformant.com/products_info.php?p_id=pocketinformant_ipad. Their Windows version they no longer support and offer it for free. Pocket Informant comes from excellent roots. Web IS has a number of ways to sync your Apple device with Windows Outlook including using intermediaries such as Google and ToodleDo. They also have developed their own app WebIS Desktop Sync. Check it out towards the bottom of this page http://www.pocketinformant.com/products_info.php?p_id=pocketinformant_iphone&tab _id=sync
I'm exploring this issue myself and this is the way I'm headed. Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello, heatsiphonman,
I am having the exact same issue with my 5G iPod. I tried a clean restart (with no memory of open windows), and all the other suggestions via the support website and it's still a no-go. Not sure where to go from here. It seems like it may be a Lion issue or a combination of Lion and iTunes 10.5. I may take it in to an Apple store and see if I can get it to sync there. Meanwhile, I'll keep a close eye on this topic to see if anyone else might be having this issue.
Mike.

HT4191 Since 'upgrading' to ios6 notes no longer sync with outlook

Why does Apple always make life harder everytime I let them upgrade IOS? Why don't I trust my intuition and stick with the IOS I've got used to? It took me a while to discover that Notes on iphones are associated for an inexplicable reason to an email account and that it defaulted to my gmail account. I then set it to default (for new notes) to an account called 'on my iphone'. Magically IOS 5 synced these notes to my Outlook. Perfect. I 'upgrade' to IOS 6 and Notes 'on my iphone' no longer sync with Outlook (quite apart from now finding the new itunes a nightmare to use).

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

My iphone won't sync with outlook calendar

My iphone 4 won't sync with my Outlook 2007 calendar. It was working fine a couple of days ago and now it won't sync!! Help!!!!

Does iTunes Show an error message?
How did you setup syncing with Outlook, are you syncing them via iTunes using USB or Wi-Fi or an Exchange server?
For more info on USB syncing and all of the other options, take a look at this Apple doc -> iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
If you aren't sure try setting up USB syncing again, just connect the iPhone to the computer, open iTunes, click the Info tab across the top of the screen, scroll down to Contacts and choose to sync contacts.
Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista / Windows 7)
Address Book (Mac OS X)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Note: If using Microsoft Entourage, use Microsoft Entourage 2008 12.1.2 or later if syncing with Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you would like to sync data on your Mac with Entourage, enable syncing between Entourage and Address Book.
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.
