Syncing iphone to outlook calendars

According to all the info I have seen they say that when you set up sync in iTunes to Outlook it gives you choices of calendars. I don't get any choices, any clues?
Thanks

Are you using Outlook as in the old Hotmail, or Outlook as part of Microsoft Office Outlook which are two different mail systems. I use the Office version - only have one calendar but that shows in the info screen when my devices are connected (I am not using my Apple Cloud account, just my PC when synching).

Sync iphone to outlook calendar for work but not change how I sync on my home Mac

I use a Mac laptop at home (older one with Tiger OS) , and PC at work.
I do not want to share home info with the work PC but would like to be able to sync my work outlook calendar to my iphone 6.
I also do not want my work email on my iphone.
Of course the IT guys at work don't like Macs and say this can't be done.
Please help me prove them wrong.
Thanks.

set up your work email on your phone - only check calendar and uncheck everything else.

Syncing iPhone and Outlook Calendar - bug?

I have an issue syncing my iPhone 3G Calendar with Outlook’s Calendar (Outlook 2007). In general, the sync works fine, but: If I delete the current (ie first) instance of a repeating event in Outlook, when I sync, my iPhone will still display ALL instances of that event, including the ‘deleted’ one.
I have verified that this is because the iPhone is syncing the event based on its start date in Outlook, which will include the ‘deleted’ event, rather than what actually is shown as still a valid event in the calendar (which of course is what I want).
I am guessing that this is just because both manufacturers are pursuing a different methodology, but the bottom line is that iPhone claims it will sync properly, so I’d call it a bug.
I have a workaround, in that I can delete events from the Outlook calendar by changing the start date to the current one I wish to display, but this is cumbersome and of course takes more time. Is there a more elegant workaround? Or am I just doing something wrong?

When you decide to sync the second computer to the iphone, itunes will ask you if you want to merge or replace the data.
In the merge, data will be transfered both ways.
So, when you say separate, you can sync them one at a time, but in the end, all the events will be the same on both computers and iphone. Because itunes keeps merging the data.

Syncing iPhone With Outlook Calendar

Hello all,
I've been using my iPhone 4 (latest firmware - 4.3.3) and syncing contacts, calendars & notes with Outlook 2003 in Windows Vista for some time now & all has worked fine. I also Outlook to access my Hotmail e-mail.
I've recently re-installed with Windows 7 (32bit) and upgraded Office to 2010 as well. I'm again using Outlook to access Hotmail. With the latest version of the Outlook Connector, it now also accesses my Hotmail contacts in Outlook, which it didn't do before & defaults to using my Hotmail calendar rather than the local one in Outlook alone.
After some tidying up, I've sorted all my contacts so that what's on Outlook (and synced to my iPhone) is the same as what's in Hotmail. This seems to be syncing back & forth quite happily between the phone & Outlook via iTunes.
With the calendar, due to Outlook now using the Hotmail calendar, I've had to re-enter all my entries in "Adam's Calendar" (i.e. the Hotmail one) in Outlook, whereas before they were on the local calendar. Having done this, they sync across to Hotmail online and sync onto the iPhone. Entries made via Hotmail online also appear on Outlook and so sync to the phone.
The problem comes the other way. If I make an entry in my calendar on the phone, it won't sync to Outlook. Likewise, if I use the phone to edit an entry that was synced over from Outlook then the changes don't sync back. The only calendar I have displayed on the iPhone from the available list is "Adam's Calendar". I've tried forcing iTunes to only sync that one by de-selecting "All calendars" and only selecting "Adam's calendar" from the available list (consisting of that entry and "Calendar"). So, there should be no reason for "Adam's Calendar" on the phone to be syncing to any other calendar on the computer. Still no joy...
Anybody got any ideas why this isn't working and what might fix it??
TIA,
Adam.

Folks, in case it helps anyone else, I've found a solution!
Set up the iPhone to connect to the Exhange server for Hotmail, then sleect which (of e-mail, contacts & calendar) you want to connect to.
Go into Settings-->Mail, Contacts, Calendars-->Add Account...
Select a MS Exchange account
Enter your details:
Email: [email protected]
Domain: [Leave blank]
Username: [email protected]
Password: password
Click 'Next'
A new field for 'Server' will appear. Enter m.hotmail.com
Continue through and you will be able to set on/off your hotmail e-mail, contacts and/or calendar to connect to the phone. In my case, I just went with the calendar as I use mBoxMail for e-mail so it's all nicely structured in folders and figure it's easier (and won't eat my phone's bandwidth) to just sync my contacts to Outlook through a cable and Outlook then sync to Hotmail over my broadband connection.
Now, any entry made on my phone flies through the airwaves to Hotmail and in turn up the broadband cable to Outlook. Likewise, any entry made in either of the other two makes the same journey.
Hope that helps anyone else in a similar position.
Adam.

Hi
I have the a similar problem - only I can't actually get the calendar to show up. I've added the account and it's showing Mail and Notes but not Calendar. But I'd like it to show the outlook calendar.
I'm going to
Go to settings > mail contacts calendar
select your account that's affected
But under that account there isn't a calendar showing and I can't see any options to add it?

You're welcome.
Have you never synced your iPhone with iTunes on your computer to transfer music and any other iTunes content from your iTunes library on your computer, or to transfer photos from your computer to your iPhone, etc.?
What I'm referring to is your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer, not any setting on your iPhone.

My iphone4 just stopped syncing with my outlook calendar any ideas for a fix?

My iphone4 just stopped syncing with my outlook calendar. Any ideas for a fix?

My iPhone 3G and Outlook sucessfully synched everything (contacts, calendar, mail accounts, bookmarks, notes) until V 3.0 of the phone software. Then calendar would not synch no matter what. After a couple of hours on the phone with an Apple rep we discovered that when a new user account was set-up in Windows (XP SP 3), and a new instance of Outlook (Office 2003) was opened in that account the Calendar in the new account would sync. However, when the calendar from the old account was imported into the new account (via .pst export / import), it still wouldn't sync. At that point the Apple rep had no more help to offer. After much offline troubleshooting on my own I found a solution that at least worked for me by the following steps:
1) create a new mail account through: Control Panel | Category View | User Accounts | Mail (Add a new account, don't copy the old one)
2) don't know whether this step is necessary, but since the "old" .pst file was 1997-02, I exported / imported it into a 2003 Personal Folders .pst file, and then replaced the .pst file on the "new" mail account with the "updated" .pst file from the "old" mail account.
3) opened the new mail account and exported all Calendar appointments into an Excel file
4) in Calendar view of Outlook selected: View | Arrange By | Current View | By Category, then did an Edit | Select All and deleted all appointments.
5) then using File | Import / Export, imported the Excel file of appointments into Calendar,
6) open iTunes, select Preferences | Devices and Reset Synch History
7) under Info select only the Calendar Sync option and the option to replace the Calendar information on the phone with the new Calendar.
The calendar now properly updates (several regualr updates have since been tried). One small annoyance (but preferable to not syncing) the recurring aspect of any appointment (not the appointment itself) is lost, along with any color formatting, but those are easily fixed up afterward.

After upgrade to OS5, I can no longer sync to my Outlook calendar

I recently upgrade to OS5 but now I can no longer sync to my Outlook calendar, any advice?

I have this problem too, only I now have Firefox 9.0.1.
I don't know what the developers are doing to Firefox recently, but it makes me want to switch to another browser. Please make it work like it always used too. There were never this kind of problems when you were "thinking" about and fully testing each update.

I can sync with my outlook calendar, but cannot sync with contacts or e-mail.

I can sync with my outlook calendar, but cannot sync with contacts or e-mail. When I click on Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars it doesn't open and reverts to the home page. When I try to open Mail I get an error message saying "Cannot get mail. The user name or password for Gmail is incorrect". If I press "settings" it reverts to home page. I was revised to restore settings which I have now done, but the problem has not been resolved. Can anyone help?
i do have a gmail account and may have used this when I first set up itunes/ipad (I'm new to Apple). However, I want to synchronize with my Microsoft Exchange account.

It may be a bit late for your needs, but there's a sync product for Outlook (an add-in) that will sync public and private folders/calendars. Once you have your items in a mailbox folder, the regular ios sync will bring it to your device. It's called Add2Outlook, it's made by DidItBetter.com Software.
It syncs private and public, mailboxes and folders in any direction. One-way, two-way, read-only or writable. It also works with Office 365 and hosted exchange providers, if that's your situation. It works for calendars, contacts, tasks, email, whatever. It can even sync to PST or between two different Exchange servers.
It installs on your workstation, not on the Exchange server.

HT1692 Help--I need my iphone and Outlook Calendars to talk to each other.

After the last iOS update, my iphone and Outlook calendars are not communicating:
My iphone calendar sends to the gmail account associated with MS Outlook, but not to icloud--it does receive from iCloud.
Outlook does not to go to iCloud, or for that matter, to the gmail account that Outlook is associated with--nor does Outlook receive events from iCloud.
So, iCloud doesn't get stuff from iphone calendar, and after an aborted try at self-fixing, is no longer connected with Outlook at all.
I've tried to work through iSolutions, etc., but can't seem to follow, or match my circumstances, to what is provided. Can someone give me simple, step by step instructions on where my settings should be at all 3 points? I would be very grateful!

How to Sync iphone 5 contacts/calendar with Outlook 2007

I used to have an iphone 3gs and upgraded to a 5 recently. Since then I can't sync outlook contacts/calendar like I used to.
All I want to do is sync outlook with the iphone so that I have the same data on my Windows7 PC as on the iPhone. I used to just hit sync in itunes and presto it would sync both ways. i.e new phone entries would be copied to outlook and new outlook enteries copied to the iphone.
Now in itunes "info". I only see an option that sync's to the cloud only. I don't want to sync to the cloud because the old way was better for me.
Besides the cloud doesn't seem to work. The phone information gets uploaded to the cloud but the outlook information doesn't get updated? When I open up the cloud in Win7 using icloud I can see all the contacts on my phone but how do I get them to sync with Outlook and vice versa?
I've read so much information on the subject I'm blue in the face but have not found a solution.
Your help would be appreciated, Thank You.

If you have [accidentally] enabled iCloud sync on your iPhone, note that you first need to turn that off in order to be able to sync again via iTunes instead. iCloud sync and iTunes sync when it comes to contacts and calendars, are cannot be run simultaneously. Settings > iCloud > toggle the switches to OFF
You can alternatively read this for another offline method of syncing iphone contacts to outlook without needing to switch off your iCloud sync in first place.
