Syncing itouch to MS Outlook

I am trying to sync my iPod Touch to my Microsoft Outlook 2007. Using iTunes I have attempted to sync my calendar and contacts, but Outlook does not seem to see the Ipod. When I start the syncing process the display says "syncing to contacts" but no information is transfered. I spend an hour and 20 minutes yesterday with Apple support with no success. Please help!

Did you just update to itunes 7.7?
I have the same issue with OL 2003. In my case the appointments are getting sync'ed, they are just hidden in Outlook. In Outlook switch the calendar view to Active Appointments (in OL 2003 click on View > Current View > Active Appointments), then look for your appointments created on the ipod/iphone. I'm thinking there is a bug in 7.7 where the appointment are synced but some field in Outlook is not being set.
Here are some other posts that are relevant to this issue that seem to be getting the most attention:

I sure hope the Apple folks are reading their own forum... This is a major issue since they are starting to marketing the iphone to business folks.

At the same time the itunes won't access the store
I've never accessed the store before or synced the phone
I live in a country without apple stores and geniuses so this is really the only way someone can help me

I have a problem with syncing my calander with outlook 2007 for iPhone 5s, ipad 1st and 3rd generation. Contacts work find, and new and changed enteries in outlook all go to the devices. Device Cal changes do not appear in Outlook

Over the past year or so, I have been unable to fully sync my iPads with outlook 2007 calander. Now I have an iPhone 5s, and really need the calander fixed. Contacts seem to sync in both directions, and any new or changed cal enteries in outlook appear on the device. The problem is that any new or changed calander enteries do not make ip back to outlook 2007, so there is only one-way syncing (down to the device) but no return, for calander entries.
I am now using the latest itunes, which I followed the recommendation delete all apple stuff, and then reinstall, I have used scanpst, built new PSts, etc, am I am stuck.
Not using icloud either.
Not using wi-fi, purely USB cabale sync
Running on Windows XP, SP3
Now IOS 7.0.2 on iPhone and 1 iPad (3rd gen)

Kept searching, found this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23321067#23321067
Bottom line: if you follow the recommendation to delte all itunes software and re-install, it don't work (at least for me and many others).
However, purge the data (certain data) and the data syncs.
I think the folder is Apple Computer\Preferences and it needs to be purged.
To be sure, maybe someone can rename the folder on their system, then run itunes and see if it syncs ok.
The idea is to figure out the least minimum stuff that needs to be touched in order to get a working solution than having to purge all Apple software and then rebuild it all over again.
I had purged other files out of inpatience, but did not want to purge entire folders because I had Safari, and Quicktime software, and did not want to wipe that out, Plus there were software downloads and device backups in some of those folders. But I really believe it is the preferences folder, and I would like someone with the same problem to try it and verify it.
Once the preferences folder is removed/renamed (taken out of the picture) pluggin in the device and go to the INFO (I think that is the iTunes tab) page where you select calanders, contacts, email accounts, etc. They will all be unchecked (because you wiped out the preferences) and you need to reselect them. Then run your sync.
What I had done in testing was create something on the device, and modify something else on the device looking to see what got up to Outlook. I got the good news that something good was happening when I got the conflict message from iTunes, and it showed both Outlook and iPhone, showing the calander entry I changed on the iPhone. Never got that before. After the sync, everything looked good the few test entries were uploaded to outlook.
Now, My Cal is 10L+ enteries, and I am doing 100% sync (I don't select the option to ignore enteries over x days). I also have 1400+ contacts. Before this change, the sync of contacts & calanders took a couple of hours (and only operated ONE-WAY, now the syn is taking less than 5 minutes for this one step.
I am a Windows XP Professional user, x32 bit system, using Outlook 2007, iTunes 11.1.1.11, I am standalone (no exchange server) and have about 10 email accounts (mainly POP) defined. I am using only one calander in outlook, but I have Outlook and 2 gmail calanders in the iPhone.
I am running iPhone 5s and iPad 3rd Gen both with IOS 7.0.2 and a 1st generation iPad with the latest version of IOS 5.x.
If anyone else has success, I'd like to hear, along with your experience.

How can i sync my calendar in Outlook 2007 with iTunes 11.1.3.8 WITHOUT using iCloud?

How can i sync my calendar in Outlook 2007 with iTunes 11.1.3.8 WITHOUT using iCloud?

your link shows how to sync, i know how to do that.
i specifically wanted to sync my outlook calendar with my phone, not my outlook calendar with icloud calendar.
apparently you have to go into setup on phone and tell phone not to sync calendars with icloud so you can get choice to sync phone via itunes.
thanks anyways for trying.
feel free to reference my solution for similar questions.

About sync multiple calendar to outlook

I would like to ask the result of sync multiple calendar from iPhone IOS 6.x to outlook issue.
Our users are using Outlook 2010 and had a primary mailbox for their own mailbox, and a shared mailbox for the Shared Calendar issue.
The iPhone had multiple Calendar there, if the user use itune to sync the calendar to Outlook 2010:
Will the multiple calendar combine into one calendar in Outlook 2010 and classified by Categories?
Which Outlook calendar will the iPhone calendars sync to Outlook 2010? Sync only to Primary mailbox or to both Primary mailbox and the shared caolendar?
On the other hand, as the Outlook 2010 has a primary mailbox and a shared mailbox, how would itune handle to sync the calendar to iPhone?
Please kindly help.
Ivan

How can I sync my calendar with outlook

This question has a couple parts to it. First, I am self employed and use Outlook as my primary calendar. With my BB7 device this syncing issue was easy but I find it so hard with my new Z30. My email is a rogers.com email. I have 2 email accounts on my device (personal and business which are both rogers.com emails. How can I sync my calendar with outlook and allow changes made in both outlook or the device appear updated on both outlook and my device? When I make a calendar entry in my phone it prompts me to use either my groups, my work email, my personal email and then I see BLINK with the name of my office computer. What should I be using as my default calendar? The one that says BBlink-Computer name or my business email address? Secondly is there a way to sync all my calendar entries with outlook to avoid personal and business conflicts? That is my BBM group calendar entries, personal email calendar entries and my business calendar entries? I'm really baffled by all this. I keep being told I need to set up an outlook.com email address. Do I really need to do this? I prefer not to. Essentially, how can I make all my calendar entries show on my office outlook calendar so I can see everything to avoid scheduling conflicts and not need to check my device before booking an appointment in my desktop outlook? Lastly I have my outlook set to show me Canadian Holidays. How can I get these to appear in my device calendar? Please... This has been baffling me since I for my device about a month ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have the latest link software on my PC and have the latest OS on my phone. Thank you in advance to all that reply. Regards, Dan

I think (and I'll double check) only the BBLink events will sync on a wired USB sync. I'm fairly certain of that.
You'll need to use your calendar syncing via an EAS email account (outlook.com, for instance, is free) to sync wirelessly. It works great. I use it and was a former tied to the USB sync guy as well... and I thought I was gonna die a painful death without it. I found more freedom this way.
This explains the process. But I don't think you'll get BBM Groups to sync.

How do you sync iCloud (contact, calendar, task) to outlook 2011 for Mac? and how do you make seemless sync between iCloud to Outlook 2011 to Blackberry device or an iPad?

I have three device: Macbook Pro (OSX 10.7.5) for work; an iPad and a Blackberry for mobile. I used mail, iCal, and Address Book combine with mobileme (iCloud) to exchange data such as contact, calendar and task from my Mackbook Pro to my iPad but never to Blackberry. The problem is my boss was asking me to change to Outlook 2011 for Mac because some of the email that I sent from Mail did not appear in my client's Blackberry. So how do you sync iCloud (contact, calendar, task) to Outlook 2011 for Mac? and how do you make seemless sync between iCloud to Outlook 2011 to Blackberry device or an iPad?

After I sync my IPhone with Outlook, some contacts only appear on the IPhone and NOT in Outlook

I have been syncing my phone with Outlook for some time successfully but just noticed that there are now contacts on my Iphone which don't appear in my Outlook contacts. I also noticed that those that appear in both places have "linked cards" on their contact information on my Iphone while the ones that don't appear in Outlook are missing this "linked card" designation. I just signed up for ICloud so don't know if that has anything to do with it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

just open your iCloud acc on iPhone
turn off calendars (it wil ask you to keep info or not - KEEP IT!)
and turn back on (MERGE!)
now SYNC it..
and that's it
PS in my case it was contacts so the procedure is the same..

No longer able to sync Curve 8520 to Outlook

For some reason when I try to sync my phone to outlook I get the window saying synchronising data followed by another window saying please select one or more items to sync. Both contacts and calendar are selected and I haven't changed anything, all I have done was leaving the country for a few days and now I am back the synchronisation no longer works.
When I go to the organizer tab, calendar and contacts are ticked but when I click to configure I get an error message, could that be part of the problem?
Thanks for any help as I have been trying various things (shut down and restart the computer, the phone, trying to get into the configure menu, etc) for the past hour, to no avail.
Solved!

Ended up reinstalling BB desktop manager and that cleared the issue...

Sync problems with iCloud & Outlook 2010?

I am having sync problems with Outlook. Sync seems to cause outlook to crash, run boggy, etc. Tried Code Two software to sync which only made thing worse. Any ideas?

Another way to put it would be: What is the optimal combination when you have a Windows PC running Outlook on one hand, and want to sync contact and calendar information with your iPhone over the Internet?
Maybe I should ask, what is the least painful way of doing this?
Is it Gmail+Outlook+some add on?
Outlook.com + Outlook?
Or something else?

How to delete Sync Issues folder in outlook -Exchange 2010 environment ?

is there a way to get rid of Sync Issues folder in outlook , I tried out solution with MFCMapi but no luck . Please suggest ?
Aditya Mediratta

Hi Aditya,
Thank you for your question.
By my testing, there are 5 folders which we didn’t delete. It is a system necessary folder.
There are Deleted Items, Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items, Sync Issues.
Could you tell me that why you want to delete it? We could hide it by the following methods:
1: In the Bottom of the Navigation Pane you shall find the following Option (Mail, Calendar, Contacts,) Click on the option that says Mail, this will hide the hidden folders.
2: Clicking on the “Folder List” button present at the bottom of the navigation pane (Where we see the folder icon).
3: Incase if you do not see the Option for “Folder list” at the bottom of the Navigation Pane, then please do the following:
At the Top Click on the View Ribbon > Navigation Pane > Options > You will get a Window called “Navigation Pane Options “> Check the Box that says Folder List and move it up the list using the
“Move Up” option. Now you would find the “Folder list “option at the bottom of the Navigation Pane. > Clicking it will Un-hide /Hide the hidden folder visible in the navigation list.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Itouch events become Outlook meetings after synching

I'm having a nagging little problem with my calendar.
I create an event on the touch but after synching with Outlook 2007, it becomes a meeting in the calendar. If I open it, it wants me to invite someone and send an update.
I had someone else who works with me and has a touch try and his come into Outlook as an event, not a meeting.
Anyone have any ideas on why I'm having this problem?? Thanks!

If your Outlook calendar is correct, then clean the blackberry calendar.
go to calendar select agenda view and stay in it menu key go to date
Pick a date that is beyond any of your appointments (I picked May 2009)
hit menu - Delete prior
Your calendar on the BB will be cleaned.
In Desktop software reset synch options. Start sync config select sync one way from Outlook to BB calendar. Only sync calender at this point.
You can then sync with Outlook and duplicates will be gone.
Let me know if you need more assistance.
Don't forget to turn your sync options for all items back to two way when your done!

How do I sync iphone 4 with outlook 2013 ?

How do I sync iphone 4s with outlook 2013?

Synchronization of calendars between Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and your Apple iPhone or iPod touch requires Apple iTunes. You can configure which items are synchronized during a one-time set up process. Good luck with your Mac!
After the initial setup, each time that you connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer, the changes made on your computer or device are synchronized.
Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer using the cable provided with your device or by placing the iPhone or iPod touch in the Apple Universal Dock.
iTunes opens automatically when connected to your computer.
In iTunes, in the source list, under Devices, click the entry for your iPhone or iPod touch.
Click the Info tab.
Under Calendars, click Sync calendars from, and then click Outlook.
Do one of the following:
To synchronize all calendars, click All calendars.
To limit the calendars that are synchronized, click Selected calendars, and then click the calendars you want to synchronize.
NOTE To select multiple calendars, press CTRL as you click each calendar name.
Click Apply.
