Synching Outlook and Droid 3

I may be limiting myself here. I've used a blackberry where I synched Outlook with my phone.
From outlook, it synched the contacts, calendar, tasklist, memopad.
I want to do the same thing with my Droid 3. All my old data is on my PC in Outlook. I like Outlook because it allows me to store a lot of old email on my PC.
So my needs are:
1) Store a lot of my my old email on my PC.
2) Synch calendars
3) Synch task list
4) Synch Memos (or sticky notes)
5) Synch address list
Hopefully everything will integrate.
Before there was one application (Desktop Manager) that did all the synchronization, and on my PC everything was in Outlook.
Am I thinking to narrowly to keep everything in outlook?
So all you droidians, what do you suggest?
Thanks, in advance.

The good news is that you aren't limiting yourself. There are a variety of options for doing what you want to. Take a look at http://syncdroid.net - they have an expansive list of the various sync options for getting data from Outlook to Android, and vice versa. Pay attention to the differences among the options, however, as not all of the programs will do everything you want.
Our own software, CompanionLink for Outlook, is included in that list. It can sync contacts, calendars, tasks, and memos (categories too!). It comes with a 2-week free trial, so after looking over your options if it sounds like a good fit, I'd encourage you to give it a test run. If you have any questions about it, I'm here to help!

Email synchronization (Delete) problems with Outlook and Droid

A family member is having problems, especially deletion of email. She deletes email in Outlook or on her Droid, but it is not placed in the trash can in the web version, therefore it comes back or she runs out of storege space.
I use Hotmail mostly and all synchs well.

There's a setting within Outlook to delete messages from the server when you delete them from Outlook. She needs to check that box.

IPhone will not synch contacts and calendar with Outlook after upgrade to 4

I have been using an ACT! database on a PC for years, synching to Outlook with CompanionLink, and synching my iPhone to Outlook. After upgrading my iPhone to 4.0, I can no longer synch my contacts and calendar from Outlook. It "goes through the motions," appearing to be synching. But in the end, nothing changes. I have reloaded iTunes. The problem is between Outlook and the phone (the synch from ACT! to Outlook is fine).

I'm having the same issue. Upgraded my 3G to OS4 which wiped out my contacts from the phone. I also use CompanionLink (Express) to sync ATC with Outlook and iTunes and the phone. Have spent hours/days on the phone with second level Apple tech support to no avail. CompanionLink IS syncing with Outlook but Outlook isn't syncing with the phone. Have tried syncing to Outlook directly (without CompanionLink) but no good result. Tried syncing through MobilMe. Can sync all Outlook contacts from my computer to me.com through MobileMe but does not sync with the phone. Tech support suggested trying to sync fewer contacts at a time as their might be a problem with the contacts file. DID manage to get 4000 of my 5600 contacts back in but can't get any more in. Previously had NO problem syncin all contacts directly and through CompanionLink. VERY frustrating.
Also, I use Outlook Express for email. Since installing MobileMe I get an error message saying that Outlook isn't my default mail handler and I need to change the settings to make it the default mail handler. I DO NOT have "sync mail" checked as I'm not trying to sync my email accounts...only contacts and calendars. Made Outlook the default mail handler which stops the error message but still can't sync the contacts and I want to keep Outlook Express for email.

I have downloaded the latest version of icloud control panel to a PC with Windows 7. My "master" data is always on my PC. With other synch software I always select "One Way Outlook to Device". I synched icloud with Outlook and it has trashed my Outlook

I have downloaded the latest version of icloud control panel to a PC with Windows 7. My "master" data is always on my PC. With other synch software I always select "One Way Outlook to Device". I synched icloud with Outlook and it has trashed my Outlook with duplicate contacts. Is there a solution. Is there selective synchronisation available?

Make sure you don't have any notes that have no content or subject or this can prevent syncing with Outlook. If you do, delete them.
If you don't, try unchecking "Mail,Contacts,Calendars & Tasks with Outlook" on the iCloud control panel for Windows, choose Delete at the prompt (the data will still be in iCloud), restart your PC, then go back and check this setting again. (Your iCloud data will reappear in Outlook after a brief delay as it redownloads.)
Then create a new note on one of your iOS devices and see if it appears in the Notes folder in Outlook mail after a few minutes.

Synching between Outlook and my Storm via Desktop Software

So, I have a bunch of contacts on my Storm and a few in my Outlook. I have the synching set up so that it is a two-way sync between the two. However, when I run the sync, all of the contacts on my Storm are downloaded onto my computer/Outlook and the ones in my Outlook are now deleted and didn't get transferred to my Storm
What's the deal?! I thought it was a two-way sync? Any ideas as to why this is happening or how I can control this?
Thanks!
Mike

Welcome to the Apple Community diannebc.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

PC Sync doesn't work with Outlook and 6300

Whilst I appreciate there maybe other posts similar to this there doesn't seem one that give enough information and when the suggestions are tried (the ones I read) they didn't work.
I can sync with Nokia Communication centre (Emails and messages) but my 6300 won't sync with outlook (PC Sync)- contacts, notes or calendar.
Here are the details:
Windows XP SP3 & Also Vista Business SP1
PC Suite is 7.0.7.0 (Also tried the version that came with the phone).
Connection method - USB
Phone Nokia 6300 latest firmware V 06.01 RM-217 (as checked on 27/7/2008)
Outlook 2000, 2003 & 2007

Nokia PC Sync Warning
PC Sync information.
PC Sync has encountered a problem and has terminated the synchronisation.
Possible Solution
Please check your Synchronisation settings and ensure your phone is in the Idle state, then restart the Synchronisation.
Phone Message
Data Transfer not possible
Synchronisation Info:
Calendar: Incomplete. Unable to process all items. 0 Sent, 0 Received
Contacts: Incomplete. Unable to process all items. 0 Sent, 0 Received
Notes: Incomplete. Unable to process all items. 0 Sent, 0 Received
Calendar Notes: Updated on other device New:0 Removed:0 Updated: 0
Tried this on three computers with two with XP Pro(Outlook 2000 & 2003) and one with Vista Business (2007). Added new folders for test and also created a clean Outlook installation (2000 on one XP machine). None of these installations work with synchronisation. Tried just Contacts, Notes and Calendar on their own. Still no good.
The main reason for wanting to do this is to transfer my Calendar from my 6230i (there seems to be no other way of doing it) and use it on my PC.
I have managed to copy my contacts using PC Suite 7.0.7.0 by having both phones connected and selecting all the contacts from the old phone to the new phone in Nokia Communication Centre. Seems you can't do this on old suites. I can also see messages there as well although I haven't tried to copy them yet.
What is interesting is that with all the same settings in PC sync and the same folders in outlook I have been able to synchronise my 6230i calendar both ways with no problems at all. It is just the 6300 that is giving problems either way.
So is this a firmware bug, PC Suite bug, Interface bug, or just that some settings on either phone or PC that need changing to suite the 6300?
Without this working there is no way that my desktop calendar can synch with my phone. As I said the 6230i was no problem.

Thanks for that. I did indeed manage to do a calendar backup from my 6230i and then restore it to my 6300 and YES it did work.
So how come that a calendar that obviously works on the 6230i phone can be restored to the 6300 phone, and the 6230i can do a sync to outlook. Yes I did that as well. I managed to sync the 6230i to a clean calendar in outlook, Modify it the calendar in Outlook and then sync it back to the 6230i. I then had to back it up in order to restore it to the 6300.
Are you seriously saying that it is the format of the calendar when the 6230i does it so well. It seems obvious to me that it must be either the sync firmware of the 6300 or the PC connect software not taking account of any 6300 firmware differences.
As a test I added an appointment to a completely blank calendar on my 6300 and tried syncing that with the same errors. When syncing you can for a split second see something trying to be synced but too fast to read. It would be more helpful if there was a proper log of actually why and where the problem occurred. So if Nokia (or anyone)has some debug software please can I try it?
Whilst I have, after nearly a week of trying and search the internet, found a solution to my immediate problem (copying the calendar), it appears there isn't a solution to integrate the phone to Outlook - unless somebody know different.

Blackberry Link - not recognizing device and does not allow synching calendar and contacts

I cannot get Blackberry Link to work properly on my laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro. It takes a very long time to open and it does not allow me to sign in saying there is no internet connection and I cannot get around resolving this issue. That is problem 1. Problem 2, Blackberry Link sometimes recognizes the device and sometimes it does not. Problem 3, when I do get Link to recognize the device, (it can backup), synching the calender and contacts on the device to Outlook does not work. I try to do a one way synch from the device to outlook and it processes but Outlook is not updated (outlook has no contacts or calendar events as I want to pull them off my device).
Any ideas? Thanks.

Outlook and Blackberry Calendar

I really want an calendar that will sync with my blackberry that I do not have to go online to use. I'm thinking of purchasing Outlook 07 for my laptop. My question is, I realize this is an email program also. I do not have to be online to manage and use the calendar part of the program, right? And outlook does sync with a blackberry (I have 8900)? Thanks for the help.
Edited to correct grammar and now I'm editing because I realize what I've said is confusing. So here is additonal explanation.
I knew I didn't explain that well enough. I know that I can sync with yahoo calendar and google calendar with my blackberry. I want to be able to share info between my device and my computer. I have no problems using google or yahoo calendars on my laptop. They are both excellent calendar programs. The problem is the internet is not really reliable at school and also they have gotten much stricter about which sites we can access and which ones we can't. I've heard that yahoo is now off limits so that means that calendar can't be used at school. That leaves google calendar which is fine just as long as the internet isn't down. There are times when I have my laptop available and not my blackberry so I do want my life on my computer also. If I can't get online on my computer, I'm up a creek. So in essence, do you have to be on the internet on your laptop in order to access the calendar functions in outlook?

Hi Kairo'sgrammy!
Outlook 2007 will sync with your Blackberry just fine. You will have equal calendars on both the PC and the BB.
Two big changes to think about.
1) When syncing with Yahoo or Google online calendars, you have immediate transfer of data. If you updated Google
online calendar, or your Blackberry it would synch automatically, and vice versa.
2) With Outlook the synchronization takes place when you run the desktop manager sync program.
Example. You enter a meeting on the Outlook PC calendar for a 9:00 apt. Later you use your Blackberry
to enter an appointment for an 11:00am meeting. Both appointments are not visible on either calendar
until you run the synchronize program. I usually run it a night after work. All appointments from the PC and
Blackberry calendar are synchronized on both devices, and reflected for the next day.
You synchronize the Outlook calendar and the BB calendar through the default email address on both.
Let me know if this makes sense!
Thanks. Someone on a delphiforum mentioned that you can sync google with outlook so if you are wirelessly synced with google on your blackberry phone, that might work to update outlook. I've got outlook on order and amazon is sending it via pony express, LOL, so I'll be able to figure out more then. Whether it does or doesn't sync wireless is fine with me. Syncing physically and daily works for me. The sync does work well with google and blackberry as far as calendar stuff goes. It won't sync memo stuff or task stuff wirelessly. If I want google to know a task, I put it in the calendar seeing as I schedule most tasks anyway. If I don't, I get too wishy washy about them.

Outlook and i0S7 issue

After downloading iOS7, my outlook calendar will not sync. My default calendar is Outlook and the two accounts are not communicating. Any suggestions?

Here's my situation:
Storm 9530, Verizon, OS ver. 5.0
I use my BB as my only calendar, really.The only reason for synching is mainly to have a backup in case of crash. But, sometimes if I'm at my desk, working on emails, I'll update, add or delete a contact on desktop. I also receive messages with calendar items, staff meetings, etc. that are automatically added to the BB from one of my 2 offices.
I work in 2 different offices, both using Outlook (probably still on 2003).
I've only been synching with the one office PC where they do schedule me for meetings at times.
I am so fearful of losing past appt info, that I have tried to set up both PC Desktop manager and BB to keep everything forever. So, I end up with lots of duplicate entries on BB, sometimes 3 repeats. When it asks during sync process if I want to delete entries, I say 'no.'
So, here are my questions:
1. How should I set the synch to not lose anythign, but not keep repeating the same info on the BB?
2. Can I have a second computer for synching, just for further backup? (I'm going to be leaving one of the comapnies in the next year or two.)
3. Is there any way to add the contacts from one computer to the other via BB synch? One office PC has only a small number of contacts since I haven't been there that long. Would like to be able to have all the contacts from both offices in the BB.
Thanks for any help.

Unable to synch calenders and contacts

A few days ago, I stopped being able to fully sync my iphone via iTunes, (seems to only synch songs, no calenders or contacts). I first get a message that "synch is not enabled on this computer" and am asked if I want to enable it. When I select yes, I get a second message that "Sync cannot be enabled on this computer" My machine is a MacBook Pro and the only machine with which I have ever synced my iPhone. My phone is an 8 GB iPhone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No worries Do you mean Outlook "2007"?
Did you try the options in the other link I posted?
You may want to check your default services as well...go to Options>Advanced Options>Default Services and make sure the Calendar (CICAL) is set to the email associated with your Outlook and not Facebook.
Try again and post your results.
