Syncing calendars on Vista & BB 8130

Hi everyone...I've read the posts about syncing, downloaded the SP and made sure my Device system is the most current. Didn't have any problem till I upgraded on a new laptop to Vista...now I can't get my appts. from my phone to the new "Windows Calendar" (since Outlook is Gone!).
When I do the sync setup, the options I'm given for calendars are not the same as what I have i.e., ASCII import/export (whatever that is!). Any help would be appreciated. I transferred everything from my Palm Treo to the BB fine, but it's the Vista that's giving me fits now. Any help you might be able to offer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Windows Callendar and Windows mail is not supported by the BlackBerry Desktop Manager. Outlook (2003-2007) on Vista is still supported.

Syncing Calendar with VISTA

My version of VISTA does not have outlook. I only have windows calendar. Is it possible to snyc the appointments I put into the iphone with my computer if I don't have Outlook?
Thanks

Not possible at this time. Windows Mail/Calendar is really just a renamed Outlook Express. The iPhone WILL sync the contacts with Windows Contacts, but will NOT sync the calendar with WIndows Calendar. In order to sync a calendar, you need to upgrade to the full version of Outlook 2003 or 2007.

Syncing with Windows Vista calendar

Hi all. I have just purchased and rec'd my iphone4. I am having problems syncing it with my calendar on my laptop which runs off windows mail not outlook. I have the latest itunes version and have also updates the windows but still nothing! A few items have appeared in my iphone calnedar but nothing new that I have added to calendar on pc.
Can anyone please help?

The iPhone doesn't support syncing calendar events with the Windows Calendar.
The iPhone supports syncing calendar events with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing contacts and notes.
The iPhone supports syncing contacts with the address book application used by Windows Mail.

Still unable to sync calendar from Outlook with iPhone 2.0.1 / 7.7.1.11

I have an older non-3G iPhone which worked fine on sync’ing with Outlook2007 running on my Vista laptop. Then the upgrades to 2.0 and 7.7 came through automatically, and ever since sync’ing just doesn’t work.....
Leaving aside all the problems that I’ve had over the past month, and the various suggested solutions that I’ve tried (all unsuccessfully), my current situation with 2.0.1 and 7.7.1.11 is that:
1. iTunes is currently set up so that it does not sync anything automatically on startup
2. But on starting iTunes with the iPhone on the USB port, the first thing I get is that “OutlookSyncClient has stopped working” (why? I’m not trying to sync anything yet – and I don’t use either MobileMe or Exchange)
3. Then if I go to the “info” tab for my iPhone, select “Sync Calendars with Outlook” and select “all calendars”,
4. When I select “apply”, the “all calendars” button is automatically de-selected, and the “selected calendars” button selected
5. But the “selected calendars” selection box is empty – so there is no calendar to select
6. Not surprisingly, the calendar on my iPhone is now empty
(I haven’t dared try sync’ing contacts yet – I’d be lost without my contacts on my phone).
Other info is that:
a) I use Microsoft Office Live Mail through Izymail (POP3 works OK through Wi-Fi, but has never worked over any other iPhone connection)
b) I’ve two calendars – one in my Personal Files PST and one in my Office Live Mail account (but iTunes doesn’t seem able to see either for selection)
c) My Outlook calendar is only held locally on my PC – not on my Office Live account
d) My Outlook uses some Add-ins – I’ve deleted all that I don’t need – the only third party one (other than the iTunes add-in) is for my Dymo label printer. The rest are shown as inactive.
e) My PST file is (now) a Unicode PST file
f) I’ve trid sync’ing both with and without “replace information on this iPhone”, and I’ve tried deleting the iTunes sync history, all without any improvement
Any/all suggestions are welcomed for trying to solve this (my suspicion is that if I can get iTunes to ‘see’ my Outlook calendars I could select one and it might sync OK?).
Many thanks in advance
Phil

I followed the procedure for iSync in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7477550&#7477550
Here is the procedure:
Move the SyncServices folder located at ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices to the desktop
Trash all the caches in ~/Library/Caches
Restart machine (with fingers crossed)

Sync Calendar with Windows Calendar on iPhone

Hello, does anyone know how to sync calendar information from iPhone to Windows Calendar (in Vista)?
Thanks

You can't. On Windows only Outlook is supported.

Can I not sync Calendar via USB anymore?

I just noticed that my iPad no longer syncs with the Calendar on my laptop. I did a search in the Help menu (which actually worked this time) and it said that you have to sync Calendars in Maverick with iCloud. What??? I don't use iCloud, and don't intend to.
Is this true? Hooking up the iPad to the computer no longer syncs data through the cable??

Hello Dub1_303. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Ok so here is what i have to work with, an action tech modem with a usb port, and a airport express connected to it via that usb port. the problem is in the airport express itself. Its not configured yet! How can i configure the AE via usb because this pc running vista doesn't have wifi? Can it be done via usb?
The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) must be connected to a DSL/Cable modem via Ethernet to function as a wireless router; the AX's USB port is only for connecting to a USB printer.
It sounds like you are attempting to use the AX as a substitute wireless card for the PC by connecting it to the PC's USB port. Sorry, but that will not work.

Synced once with Vista and now is apparently hosed

I installed iTunes on my new Vista PC and loaded all my music. I then synced my 60 GB iPod and it worked fine. Now when I connect my iPod iTunes tells me my iPod needs to be restored. So then I go through the steps and it tells me my iPod needs be restored.
I've tried different USB ports but I continue to get the "needs to be restored" message.
HELP

Usually when an app. hangs, it means that the database is corrupted but if it syncs ok on Vista it may indicate that the database on the XP may be corrupted. Can you open Palm desktop on the XP PC with no problem?
If you sync with Vista with no problem, try changing the conduits on the XP PC to handheld overwrites desktop and then sync to see if it hangs on calendar.
Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding Synchronize with multiple handhelds or with multiple desktop computers.

Can't Sync Anymore! Vista/Outlook 2007 multi PCs

I have a centro that I primarily sync with a vista business 32 machine with Outlook 2007 at work. I also copy/sync the data to my computer at home (vista premium 32/Outlook 2003). I always overwrite my data on the computer at home as my business PC/contacts/calendar are most important to me.
I have all the latest desktop software & the Outlook 2007 conduits updater at work.
Everything was going swimmingly until about 2 weeks ago when I updated on my computer at home. The next time I synched at work I received an error message that said something like, "palm device has synched to another computer, there may be duplicates of files" or something of the sort. Now my calendar & contacts will no longer synch with either computer, but everything else still synchs (program installs, media, etc...).
The sync settings appear to be set up correctly (synchronizing calendar & contacts to outlook), but it never even attempts to synch the calendar & contacts anymore.
HELP!!! I'm at wits end!
Post relates to: Palm TX

When you sync to your PC's is there any type of error in the log file. If so can you post it in here? Also as a test on your work PC got to hotsync manger-->settings-->applications-->contacts or calendar (either one)-->configure-->settings--> and tell me what is checked or check sync to multi PC's.
If this does not help let me know

How to sync calendars and contacts between ios 3.1.3 and Mountain Lion?

I have a 1st generation iPod touch under iOS 3.1.3 and a MacBook Pro under Mountain Lion 10.8.3 with iTunes 11.0.1.
Since the upgrade to Mountain Lion syncing calendars and contacts between the iPod Touch and the Mac no longer works.
I don't want my personal information in Apple's or anybody else's Cloud and anyway iOS 3.1.3 can't use Apple's Cloud.
So I can no longer sync without a) replacing my iPod Touch which itself works perfectly well and does not need replacing and b) using Apple's Cloud which I do not wish to use for personal data.
This is a MAJOR AND DAMAGING step backwards by Apple, which they should correct IMMEDIATELY if they wish to keep their increasingly fed-up older customers.
Time-wasting work-around:
As I never trust operating system upgrades to not destroy something that "just works", I have Snow Leopard still on another bootable partition on my machine, and Lion on a bootable partition on an external Thunderbolt disc.
In order to sync, I backup Calendars and Contacts under Mountain Lion under which I do all my normal work, switch to either Snow Leopard or Lion, update iCal and Address Book from the backup files saved under Mountain Lion, sync the iPod Touch, and switch back to Mountain Lion.
Lots of time wasted with 2 successive re-boots, but at least HERE IS A SOLUTION THAT WORKS - I have seen lots of posts protesting bitterly about this totally unacceptable backwards step - what on earth do Apple hope to gain from this? More sales of newer equipment to replace perfectly functioning older ones? Certainly not from many of us.

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.

TS3999 How do I get my Macbook Pro and iphone 5 to sync calendars in 2014? It worked fine in 2013, but the 2014 dates are blank on my Macbook.

How do I get my Macbook Pro and iphone 5 to sync calendars in 2014? It worked fine in 2013, but the 2014 dates are blank on my Macbook. The all icloud is checked on my phone and the enable icloud account and push are selected on the Macbook.

Do the events from your iPhone calendar appear on icloud.com? If not, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) and make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default. If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event on your iPhone calendar and see if appears on icloud.com and your Mac now.

I tried to sync my phone and received this message: "iTunes was unable to load data class info from sync services. Reconnect or try again later." Now it doesn't sync calendars because it says I need to download Outlook, which I already have

I have synced my phone to my computer several times. This time i received this message: "iTunes was unable to load data class infor from sync services. Reconnect or try again later." It says if I want to sync calendar I must install Outlook to my computer?? Why does iTunes not recongnize that I already have Outlook installed on my computer?

This worked for me...i did a restore on my computer to take it to a date prior to the last update i did on itunes and now it works just fine. Everytime i do a backup it syncs my Outlook! When a request comes up saying there's a new version of itunes click here to download the latest one DON'T do it.
Here's how to do a restore on your computer:
Create a restore point
A restore point is a representation of a stored state of your computer's system files. You can use a restore point to restore your computer's system files to an earlier point in time. Restore points are automatically created by System Restore weekly and when System Restore detects the beginning of a change to your computer, such as when you install a program or a driver.
System image backups stored on hard disks can also be used for System Restore, just like the restore points created by system protection. Even though system image backups contain both your system files and personal data, your data files won't be affected by System Restore. For more information about system images, see What is a system image? You can create a restore point manually at any time by following the steps below.
Go to the Windows website to watch the video. (1:08)
Click to open System.
In the left pane, click System protection. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click the System Protection tab, and then click Create.
In the System Protection dialog box, type a description, and then click Create.
For more information about System Restore, see What is System Restore?
I HOPE THIS WORKS!

Unable to sync calendar from iphone to itunes etc- message coming up

Hi,
Since I did an upgrade of itunes on my phone I keep getting this error when trying to sync with my phone and itunes
"iTunes could not sync calendars to the iphone "iphone" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone."
Any advice on how I can sync would be helpful as it is difficult when things arent updated.
Thanks

I have the same problem.
After upgrading to latest iTunes I got an error saying "Itunes cannot run because some of it's required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes". I fixed this by going into programs, found iTunes, right click and click repair (as detailed here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2775935&tstart=0 )
So now I have same problem, iTunes can not sync calendars to the iphone.
I only ever have problems like this after an upgrade. Very frustrating and time-wasting Apple!

How can I sync calendars between my mac, iphone and android phone

I use an iPhone as my primary phone, but do travel alot and need to have a secondary phone with a local SIM card when I travel. For this reason, I am considering buying an android phone. One of my major concerns though, is how would I be able to (if possible at all) sync calendars and contacts between all the devices. Today with iCloud I can get the iCloud syncing between my iMac, Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone. When I introduce an android device, I am going to have to bring in Google calendars as well, so how do I get my iCal calendars to automatically sync to google calendars without having to creat duplicate calendars or without having to basically migrate to using only google calendars? Same goes for the contacts?

On your Mac and iPad, turn off iMessage.

I have DELETED calendars showing in my iTunes Sync Calendars list!?

iMac late 2009
OSx 10.10.2
iPhone 6 Plus
iOS 8.1.3
Completely Up to Date!
no clouds involved, no calendar subscriptions.
I have had a major problem with my Calendar's calendars, which I have completely repaired using Calendar. During that process, I had to rename a number of calendars in order to keep track of what I was doing - an intermediate diagnostic step. Once I'd gotten everything right, exported all the "good" calendars to .ics files, and deleted ALL CALENDARS - both the good ones and the intermediately named ones - then imported the .ics files back into Calendar... leaving me with ONE FULL SET OF CLEAN CALENDAR data. When I open Calendars on my mac, I see 33 calendars listed on the left side of the window.
My problem now that I'm ready to put my calendars back onto my phone, is that my Calendars Library (library/calendars) still has many of the intermediate calendar files (that have NOT been DELETED) and in iTunes, the list of Calendars includes all these same intermediate calendars, as well as the new calendars that I want to transfer to my phone. I would prefer to "select" "ALL CALENDARS" but I can't do that until I can remove the calendars that were supposed to be deleted/removed in the first place. In other words, I have 33 good, clean Calendars, but there are 71 Calendars in my Calendar Library.
What are the correct steps to remove the Library/Calendars folder so that the iTunes "Sync Calendars" list only shows the 33 good calendars, and not the 38 unwanted (deleted) calendars.
What do I have to do to finish the job?

I have/had the same problem. I tried deleting all the "Library" "Calendar" preference files I could find and like others nothing worked. Like others they would just recreate themselves.
BUT, I did find the solution. Not sure which part worked, but this is what I did.
I quit all the apps, Calendar, and iTunes.
I went into the folder pointed to by job-seeker above:
               <user>
               Library
               Containers
               com.aple.CalendarAgent
               Data
               Library
               Calendars
Manually went through each cached calendar folder and looked in the info.plist for the calendar title listed below "<key>Title</key>" and deleted the parent folders of no longer existent calendars.
Then find an app called "Reminders", open it and you will find all the deleted calendars that you have deleted over the years, they seem to get cached in it, delete them and quit.
Relaunch iTunes and find the deleted calendars in question are gone.
I think you could skip all the above and just try deleting the old calendars from this Reminder app and it may work, but the above is what I did when it worked for me and I do not want to recreate the problem just to verify my theory. ;-)
Hope this helps,
Michael
