Synchronizing Outlook Calendar with Phone -- Autom...

Windows XP  SP3,  Outlook 2003, PC Suite 7.1.26.0, Nokia 6102i phone.
So, I have the phone syncronization set-up to synchronize calendar 1 week prior and 2 months after.
I had assumed that this would remove old appointments from the phone.  It does not, and now the calendar memory is full.
I know that My Outlook calendar has these old appointments still in it.
 Even if I remove them, I don't think the sync software will see it as a conflict requiring resolution by deleting, even if I crank up the sync option to multiple months before.
Any tips on automatically deleting these old appointments, even if it is phone-side?  Manually deleting hundreds is not my idea of a fun saturday...
Thanks

Nokia has helped me with a solution...
My previous sync settings were:
1. automatic synchronisation - do not synchroniseautomatically 2. conflict resolution - Microsoft outlook 3. Direction - updatein both directions 4. Sync profile - empty
I have now created a sync profile on the phone and haveset the same one on PC sync (not sure if that did anything)
I also changed the Direction setting to: Delete allmobile phone data and replace it with outlook data
And have run a sync.
This has worked to delete all old outlook emails etc. Ican see that I will need to do this every now and again to ensure that thephone doesn't get full of old entries.
I will now return the sync setting to - update in bothdirections. Until I need to do it again.
Thanks for your help everyone.

  • Synchronizing Outlook calendar with my BB Curve 9300 calendar

    I have problems in setting up synchronization of my Outlook calendar on my PC with the BB calendar. According to the handbook, one has to open the calendar on the BB and then select "Options". Then one should activate synchronization by ticking "wireless sychronization" [Note: translation from German handbook; expression may be different from English version]. However, no such tickbox shows on my BB. What did I miss?

    Hello,
    Your BB has no ability to synchronize anything with your PC/Outlook wirelessly. None. All synchronization capabilities are between your BB and your email server. If you are BES, your BES admins can configure it. If you are not BES, then it is limited to GMail and Yahoo, I believe.

  • Synchronis​ing Outlook Calendar with more than one PC

    I have a Blackberry Storm 9530 and can sychronise Outlook Calendar with my work PC - we use Exchange Server - but would like to update my calendar on my home PC as well. Is it possible to do, and if so, how do I go about it?
    Would be glad of any help!

    Hi Simmonsc,
    You would receive a quicker/better response if this was posted under the BlackBerry Storm forum.
    If it's set to synchronise bi-directionally then it could be wiping out the other entries that do not match up or adding them to the other address book but if it's set just to sync from desktop manager to the device it should be okay - I haven't tried this though so I'm not 100% sure

  • Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars.  I am not running exchange server.

    Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars?  I am not running exchange server.

    hello,
    BlackBerry devices do not support ActiveSync.
    you have several ways, from best to less good :
    1)
    if your company has set up Outlook Web Access, you can use the BIS connection of your device to connect to the Exchange server (email + Address book) through the url of the Outlook Web Access. The OWA needs to be accessible from outside the company.
    2)
    if your company has setup an external link to the exchange server (can be accessible from outside the company), you can configure your BIS directly to the Exchange server (email only if I recall correctly)
    3)
    if your company allows it, on your PC you can setup your email account to automatically forward all incoming emails to a third party email (like GMail or Hotmail), and then configure BIS to connect to that email provider. You will get push email. You can then setup a reply-to: field.
    4)
    use a Windows Mobile phone that has the ActiveSync feature.

  • Override Outlook calendar with Treo calendar info

    For Treo 650, how do I override my Windows XP Outlook calendar with info on my Treo calendar when Hot-Sync-ing?
    Post relates to: Treo 650 (Alltel)

    first you need to check in the hotsync manager if the 4 main PIM's: calendar, contacts, tasks and memos are set to sync to outlook (it has the word outlook beside it). if it does, then all you need to do is to change the hotsync action of the calendar to handheld overwrites the desktop. since what you wanted is to let the info (calendar) of your phone to overwrite the calendar in your outlook.

    Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this?  I fear this is a really stupid question!
    My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails.  But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments.  To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work.  If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level?  or both?   
    Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there  a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

  • Can't Sync Outlook Calendar with Q10? Is this true

    Is it actually true that you can't sync your outlook calendar with your Blackberry Q10?  If it is Blackberry should be ashamed of themselves.  I paid good money for this phone and just assumed it would do the basics that a business phone should do.

    Meanwhile, you're butting into another user's thread who has different needs. He doesn't want the wired sync.

    Hi,
    How do you color code the calendar items? From conditional formatting or from categories?

  • I want to sync my Outlook calendar with iCloud but NOT my contacts

    I use Outlook at home (on a PC using Windows 7) and that's where the vast majority of my work is done.
    I would like to use iCloud on the PC to synchronize my Outlook calendar with my other iOS devices (iPhone, iPad), but I do NOT want my contacts shared.
    When I go to the iCloud control panel on my PC, there is a single box to select Calendar and Contacts - but I don't see a way to do calendar and not contacts.
    Does anyone know how this can be done?

    Not possible.

  • Sync Outlook Calendar with iPod doesn't work with iTunes 7?

    Ever since I've upgraded to iTunes 7, when I try to sync my Outlook Calendar with my iPod - either Outlook crashes or it says it's doing it, but the calendar on my iPod is now blank even when I have things scheduled on my calendar.
    Is there any fix or work around for this? Is anyone aware of this problem?

    This is meant with a bit of humor in the first part of my response to illustrate why polls asking for people not having a problem can be inaccurate here. Then I will get into some suggestions that are more techical in nature.
    If you walk to the waiting room at your local hospital's emergency room, and ask is there anybody here who is waiting to see the Doctors who is not sick or injured, please speak up. If everything was working, would you be here to post?
    If you turn off Outlook Syncing, and turn it back on, do you get the Windows security screen? It might pop up under the iTunes 7 window. There is a screenshot of the window I am referring to here:

  • Updating Outlook Calendar with appointment

    Hey Guys!!
    I am trying to update outlook calendar with appointments. I did some research and could send the .vcs file as an attachment to the email. But the user has to open the email and double click the attachment and save it to add the appointment to his calendar. Is there a way in java where I can directly update this .vcs file in his calendar folder.
    Any suggestions/help greatly appreciated!

    Hey Guys!!

    Any suggestions/help greatly appreciated!
    TIA
    kishoreMaybe you already understand this (could not tell from the post) but as I recall:
    The .vcs file is not a file that you update in a users Outlook setup, it is a file containing vCalendar entries.
    vCalendar is a specification for passing calendar events in a system independent manner. There is also a vCard specification for address entries.
    http://www.imc.org/pdi/vcaloverview.html
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;287625
    In the past I created a set of Java classes for creating vCard and vCalendar objects that could then be turned into a File or String containing the appropriate representation.
    The idea was to then e-mail the file as an attachment that the user could open.
    At the time, Outlook's implementation did not seem complete and was kludgy. One of the two (vCard or vCalendar) worked a little better than the other but I do not remember which or exactly why.
    Anyhow, vCalendar should still be the way to go as that is/was its purpose. Unless no longer supported by Microsoft, I would think they would have worked out some of the problems by now. I believe Microsoft was one of the companies in the original design of the specification (along with IBM? and others). The specification was later taken over by someone else (IMC?).

  • Is anyone having trouble synching your Outlook Calendar with iCal on recurring events?

    In my Outlook calendar, I created some additional categories for different work events, each with their own name and color on my calendar.
    Sync Services is ON.
    When I went to synch my outlook calendar with my Blackberry, it looks like 10,000 or more new calendar items were created on my Outlook calendar. My Outlook calendar is a mess.  It think the problem is with iCal.
    It looks like all of the recurring events were duplicated 10 - 20 times each, including holidays.
    I have turned OFF Sync Services.
    I have two questions.
    1 - Is anyone else having this problem?
    2 - I have a Apple Time Capsule.  Is there a way I can go back to my Outlook calendar before this problem started today? 
    Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

    All your computers/devices can sign into the same iCloud account and sync between them. It rather sounds as if you've managed to create two separate iCloud accounts. You may have a different ID for iTunes and have been trying to use that - you should keep that ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match and use the main iCloud ID for syncing.
    On the computer which works, make sure you know what the login for iCloud is. Then on the other computer remove iCloud altogether:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmb1de40d9 and expand 'Turn off iCloud altogether'.
    Now set up that computer with the same login as on the first computer.
