Syncing iPhone 4 with Exchange Server

Is there any way to synch an iPhone 4 with an Exchange Server contact list and calendar without overwriting all iPhone contacts and calendar entries.  In other words, "Can they be merged rather than overwritten?"

Thanks Kilted Tim,
After an update of iTunes and the iOS, a good backup, and a leap of faith, I figured it out earlier this morning.
I had a bad experience when I first got my phone.  I did the same thing, syncing with the exchange server and it overwrote all of my contacts and calendar items.  It was a long three months trying to rebuild them all.  I'm glad to see this option was opened to users choice.

    iCloud does not sync which apps are installed on each device. Deleting an app off of one device has no effect on the others.

  • How do I sync my contacts with exchange server?

    I have a mac and an ipad and an iphone and my office is all microsoft and pc's.  We are running outlook and exchange server.  My email works fine.  My calendar works "just ok" as it is quirky.  The BIG problem is syncing my contacts on all three devices with my company's contact list which lives on the exchange server.  What is the deal with this?  Is there a work-around?

    Let me fill in some blanks.  I have a powerbook running Lion and using mail, addressbook and ical.  My office is all on pc's and outlook and connected up on our network with exchange server.  So here is the issue:
    a.     It first surfaced when we got iphones.  Apple connects to exchange server's email and calendar relatively well but we have a COMPANY contact list that works great on exchange and outlook on everybody's PC's but DOES NOT work with the iphone unless you buy a third-party app that costs like $300.
    b.     THEN, I decided to get a mac and I have the same problem with the native apple applications (mail, addressbook and ical).  Everything works EXCEPT addressbook.  Basically, I have to create a fully redundant addressbook that will not talk to the exchange server company contact list.
    So my question is really this:  I don't want to have a separate contact list for my company contacts that does not sync with the mother ship.  I don't like not having all my contacts on all my devices.  It seems that there is a problem between the global contact list in exchange and my addressbook contacts on my apple devices.
    Does anybody know about this issue and does anybody know how to solve?

  • Can't sync IMAP inbox with Exchange Server 2003

    Since Lion doesn't work with Exchange Server 2003, I set up an IMAP account in Outlook 2011 via Davmail for myself and a colleague on our laptops. This has worked for my e-mail account (syncs on multiple computers, including one running Exchange directly, and with my iPad's mail client), but not for my colleague.
    For some reason, my colleague's inbox receives pushes from the server, but won't send back changes made in Outlook. Messages that have been read remain unread; deleted e-mails go into what is purportedly the server's trash in Outlook 2011, but remain in the inbox on the server. Changes made on the IMAP on the laptop also don't sync to my colleague's iPhone.
    Our configuration is the same.
    Any ideas? Could it be on the server side?
    Thanks!

    I feel your pain. I also am a lone Mac user in an entire building full of PC robots, and the IT people haven't got a clue.
    I've been trying to get Mac mail working with the Exchange server here, but it's just not happening. I've managed to get Entourage working though, which is far from ideal but significantly better than the web-based version of Outlook that I'd been having to use up till now.
    For entourage, then yes - the incoming and outgoing servers are the same. You may need to ask your recalcitrant IT people which port numbers to use, but give it a whirl anyway.
    Best of luck,

  • Can I sync my iPhone calendar with exchange server AND ical on my mac ?

    I have been happily using my iPhone synced with my Macbook over usb via iTunes.
    I have contacts and iCal syncing. I have a number of 'calendars' set up in iCal which allow me to view separate aspects of home and work but they all exist within iCal. iPhone just treats these as colour coded appointments (different colour for each ical calendar)
    I really like this set up.
    However, I just changed jobs to a firm where they have a hosted outlook exchange set up and I need to use the exchange calendar for work appointments and showing my availability.
    I have managed to setup my iPhone to work with the Exchange server for email as well as in apple Mail on my mac. This has all worked fine. However, I hesitated when iPhone asked if i wanted to sync my contacts and calendar. I said no as I was unsure if my private calendar/contacts would be uploaded to the public work area.
    In fact it seems that this is the least of my worries:
    As I have read on apple support for iPhone:
    "Note that after configuring an Exchange ActiveSync account, all existing contact and calendar information on the iPhone or iPod touch is overwritten. Additionally, iTunes no longer syncs contacts and calendars with your desktop computer. You can still sync your iPhone or iPod touch wirelessly with MobileMe services."
    So I am really pleased that I didn't let it sync those and wipe out my personal data if that is really true.
    But now I am unsure how best to enable myself to view and update the work calendar on exchange.
    Also it would be nice to see work contacts on my iPhone.
    Contacts
    - although i have said no to sync contacts with Exchange in fact it looks like I can get contacts ok - when i send email from the Exchange account on the phone , it searches Exchange contacts on the server as i type in the TO box.
    - also in Contacts on the iPhone I have a new group that has been created with the name of my Exchange account. The group appears to be blank when you go into it on the phone, but you can type in the search box and get contact details from the server just fine.
    This seems workable for now for my purposes, although updating contacts is not going to be possible that way.
    I'd like more info on that if poss but more importantly..
    Calendar
    - Unlike Contacts, no Calendar has been auto created for Exchange
    - Unlike contacts, I can't see how I can view or search or create an appointment in my Exchange calendar on the iPhone
    What is the best solution to this problem - I presume lots of people face the same dilemma. My initial research suggests that there are multiple ways round this but all of them look like workarounds with various disavantages.
    Questions are
    - Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
    - Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
    - What is the best work around for this?
    At the moment I am seriously considering getting a separate iPhone for work and have that sync with Exchange fully although that seems a bit drastic and does not solve the problem of seeing work and home appointments on the same calendar.

    Can't I just set up Exchange as one of my calendars in ical?
    Only if you're running Snow Leopard and your employer will allow access (different than iPhone/mobile device access, so most likely not), but not needed - keep reading.
    Is it really true that I have to choose between syncing Exchange with work server OR syncing iCal with personal Macbook?
    No. It was true, but with the v3.0 software that changed - you can now sync your Exchange contacts and calendar over the air, and your Address Book and iCal via iTunes over the docking cable.
    What is the best work around for this?
    None needed. When you set up the exchange account, and choose to turn on syncing of contacts and calendars, you will be prompted to remove all other data, or keep it on the iPhone. Choose the keep option. Note that in that case, your personal data will not be uploaded to the Exchange server - the iPhone keeps them separate (although you can choose to view them in a merged fashion).
    I have this set up on my phone (Exchange calendar along side personal and other calendars from iCal). Same for contacts. Works great.

  • Sync of reminders with Exchange server fails

    I can't synchronize my OS X Reminders with my Exchange server. I get the following message in Calendar when syncing :
        Calendar can't refresh reminders in the calendar "Tasks"
    And in the OS X Console, I see these 2 messages (I guess the first one is the root cause of the issue, the second one is just a notification that the sync failed ):
    02.03.14 14:24:31.810 CalendarAgent[210]: -[SOAPParser:0x7fd30899aae0 parser:didStartElement:namespaceURI:qualifiedName:attributes:] Type not found in EWSTaskRecurrenceType for WeeklyRegeneration (t:WeeklyRegeneration)
    02.03.14 14:24:31.812 CalendarAgent[210]: [com.apple.calendar.store.log.exchange] [Exchange error Calendar can’t refresh reminders in the calendar “Tasks”. There was an error attempting to send your changes to the exchange server. (Error Domain=SOAPWebServicesErrorDomain Code=-997 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (SOAPWebServicesErrorDomain error -997.)")]
    I have had this problem for a few months, and it still exists with 10.9.2 ; the sync used to work sometimes, but not anymore.
    I guess the error comes from one reminder on the server which has complex recurrence rule.

    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.

  • Mac Reminder (Mountain Lion) cannot sync with Exchange Server 2010

    Hi All,
    My boss is using iMac reminder (Mountain Lion), iPhone and iPad sync with his Exchange Server account, He cannot sync Mac reminder with Exchange Server last week. However, there are no sync problem of iPhone, iPad and the other iMac.
    My boss mail to me 'Just noticed that my iMac reminder is not in sync with the server. IOS device is in sync though. Tried unchecking calendar+reminder on account setup and rechecking but still no good. Any ideas?'
    Could anyone help me?
    Thanks,

    Started experiencing this same issue with new Macs on Moutain Lion connecting to MicroSoft Exchange Server.
    ERROR Says:
    Calendar can't save the event "event name here" to the Exchange server.
    The account "describes calendar name" currently can't be modified. to discard your changes and continue using the version of your calendars that's on the server. click Revert to Server.
    Then gives the buttons "Revert to Server" "Try Again" or "Ignore"
    !!! Somehow it seems like this is a known issue, otherwise WHY would Apple have given us those 3 buttons to click on?
    Needless to say this is causing productivity problems as it disrupts the very busy schedule of many users. Apple needs to provide some workaround for this.

  • Hidden Contact Subfolders are visible on iPhone after sync with Exchange Server 2007

    Hello,
    We have encountered an issue where synchronizing the iPhone with Contacts from an Exchange Server 2007 mailbox, causes hidden contact subfolders (from Outlook) to be visible and appear in the Groups list in the Contacts App on the iPhone.  This does not occur with Exchange Server 2010 mailboxes.
    We have a 3rd party application that creates hidden subfolders in the default Contacts folder on Exchange Server 2007 mailboxes.  The hidden folders do not display in the Outlook client, Blackberry or on an Android phone.  We did see that they were showing up in Outlook Web Access until we applied this Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 3 Rollup 2 patch unto the Exchange server:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2210042 - A sub contact folder is still visible after you set the "PR_ATTR_HIDDEN" attribute to "True" in an Exchange Server 2007 environment.
    After the patch was applied, the hidden contacts do not show up anywhere else.  However, when we synced the mailbox to an iPhone and synced existing contacts, all of the hidden folders appear in the Contact Groups list.  Is there a way to hide the hidden sub contact folders on the iPhone and prevent them from appearing in the Contact Group lists?
    Any help provided would be most appreciated.
    Thanks and Best Regards

    Hi SBuchan,
    I have an open case with Microsoft about it.  It is an issue with ActiveSync in Exchange 2007 that sends the hidden objects.  Microsoft tried to resolve this in Exchange 2010 by sending a delete message after sending the hidden objects to remove them from the device.  Am awaiting to see if they will approve a design change to Exchange 2007 ActiveSync to prevent the synching of hidden objects.

  • Iphone not syncing anymore with exchange server

    my Iphone has worked perfectely for a few months with exchange server for synchronising agenda's and email receiving and sending out via exchange....
    Since a few days not working anymore, everytime info wrong pasword. All settings are correct, what could be the problem. My Iphone receives direct ema-ils, works on internet...and can sentout, my mobile me works perfect, only not the exchange server is not working anymore.
    please help.

    I assume from what you posted that you mean the user has created contacts in the "default" address book instead of in their Exchange address book.
    If that's the case, then can not be "moved" to the Exchange address book. The user will have to export them from whatever contact manager they are syncing that particular contact list with and import them using their Outlook client, or they will have to re-enter them in the correct address book.

  • Calendar will not sync with Exchange server or most Google Calendars

    Hi,
    I am writing about my wife's brand new Samsung Charge on Verizon. We managed to setup both her gmail account and her work exchange server account fine, except for the calendars:
    Her Google calendar shows up fine, but I am unable to even see any other Google calendars that she has access to (both her own secondary calendars as well as calendars that others have shared with her) in order to select them to be visible.
    Her exchange calendar says it is enabled (on the list of available calendars), but no events at all show up.
    This behavior is with the latest software updates on the Charge (2.2.1 firmware, I510.EE4 build) using its stock calendar software. I did notice that if I use Smooth Calendar, it does list all of her Google calendars under its listing of available calendars, but it still only shows data from her primary calendar. This is also true using the Touch Calendar app, which leads me to believe that there is some problem within the Google Calendar sync software that is not allowing her calendars to appear correctly.
    Thanks!

  • When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail

    When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server supplied by my employer, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail. Do I have to upgrade my Microsoft Office 2010 or how can I make my Outlook
    2010 check all my four e-mail accounts without manually click on my accounts?
    Sincerely
    Ketil Hothorp

    Hello Ketil,
    Good Day...
    Seems to be the Issue is Syncing emails, now I would recommend you to Remove and Add the Account and try and check if the emails are getting synced automatically.
    Hope this is with Single User. If it is with Multiple Users then we need to check the permissions assigned.

  • Sync contacts BACK to exchange server?

    My exchange contacts are showing up on my phone, but I was hoping, that when I add contacts on my iphon, they'd sync back to my exchange server.
    Is this not possible?
    If it is, how do I do it?
    Thanks.

    What makes you think they do not?
    What you descibe is essentially how exchange works.  Any changes made to the contacts on the device immediately are updated on the server.

  • IPhone and Miscrosoft Exchange Server

    I am able to send emails from my iPhone via the exchange server at my work, but my phone will not download or receive messages from the server.
    Any suggestions?

    Hey Olapalai,
    Make sure the Exchange account has IMAP enabled.
    +Note: Exchange email accounts must be configured for IMAP in order to work with iPhone or iPod touch. Contact your IT organization for more information.+

  • Integrate Sharepoint task list with exchange server

    First question is it possible or not? I have tried to search a lot on this topic but does not find a way to achieve this. I know how to integrate task list with outlook but I want to integrate it with exchange
    server. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

    Hi  ,
    In SharePoint Server 2010 , tasks lists are blindly synced to the local Outlook desktop application. You can see SharePoint Tasks only on the client computer to which the SharePoint task list was downloaded.
    If you log on to another device, you must sync the SharePoint task list to that device in order to see the tasks.
    But in SharePoint Server 2013, SharePoint Server 2013 task lists use Exchange Server to sync, tasks are updated in real time and can be seen on any device that you use to access Microsoft Outlook. When SharePoint
    Server is connected to Microsoft Exchange Server, and all client computers are connected to Exchange Server, client computers receive information from the task lists directly from Exchange Server.
    For a workaround, you can use 3rd Party tool  to connect Exchange Server to SharePoint task lists. For  more  information, you can refer to the blog:
    http://www.layer2solutions.com/en/community/FAQs/BDLC/Pages/How-to-connect-SharePoint-lists-to-Exchange.aspx
