Syncing Outlook Calendars and Contacts with iPhone - There is NO SOLUTION

I have searched the Apple support forums, Mac Forums, MS forums, spoken to Microsoft Support and iCloud support. Everybody says that there is no way to directly sync Outlook Calendars and Contacts with iPhone and other remote devices and nobody has a work around. I see 100s of forum threads started with this issue, most have no answer and the few that do are not offering solutions. I post this as a final effort to seek a solution! Who will be my savior? Or should I just admit defeat and allow myself to be cast aside in the battle between two giant corporate babies who don't like to play in the same sandbox?
Is my knight in shining armor out there?!

The information is correct, MS do not support the Dav standard in Outlook for Mac (but they do in Outlook for Windows), until they add support for it Calendars and Contacts will not work with Outlook for Mac.

  • How do I sync my calendar and contacts with the calendar and contacts on my phone? My laptop is Mac OS X, 10.6.8 and still has MobileMe on it.

    My MacBook Pro is a few years old and I recently got an iPhone 4S. I want to know how I sync my calendar and contacts with the calendar and contacts on my phone? My laptop is Mac OS X, 10.6.8 and still has MobileMe on it. I tried to download iCloud but then I'd have to download and pay for a new OS.
    If anyone could help me with this that would be great.

  • New 3GS hangs when syncing Outlook calendars and contacts

    My new 3GS hangs when syncing Outlook calendars and contacts on my PC running XP. I've read a bunch of previous similar posts but haven't seen a solution. Does anyone have any hints? Thanks in advance

    This is a rare problem these days; it was common with earlier versions of the firmware. It is usually caused by a corrupted database in Outlook. Open contacts in Outlook and check the first few entries. Open each, make a change, and save it. If you get an error saving it you should either delete it, or export the entire address book from within Outlook, then reimport it. One of these will fix the problem if it is a corrupt entry.

  • HT4872 Syncing email, calendar and contacts between iPhone 5 and ipad

    I followed the above to sync my ipad with my iphone and I cannot set up the Carddav account. It will not accept ssl. Also my email does not sync between these devices. Any suggestions?

    So I have begun the step by step:
    Notes as I went (I wish we could do screen captures in here ...)
    +*Set up sync from Entourage to iCal and Address Book Set up sync with iTunes or MobileMe, not both.*+
    When I go into sync in entourage it gives me the option to "Synchronize contact with iTunes and MobileMe" (not one or the other just both - I have it checked)
    *+First, on the iMac, run iSync, choose it's preferences, and reset sync services. That cleans up the sync database on the iMac+*
    Reset Sync Service under the Advanced section is "greyed out" and as such I can not activate it? Running V3.02 --- OK turned off Entourage and iSync - when I restarted iSYnc it allowed me to reset.
    +*In Entourage, open Preferences, go to Sync services, and choose to sync the Calendar and Contacts.*+
    It prompts me at this point to Combine, Delete entourage, or Delete iCal and MobileMe (I chose Combine for lack of a better choice)
    +*If you want to use MobileMe, then switch off syncing in iTunes. Open the MobileMe preference pane, and on the sync tab, hit the advanced button and reset again. When asked, choose to overwrite MM with the information on the iMac*+
    I could not find a place in iTunes to turn off syncing? The only thing there was syncing og iPod but it was greyed out.
    Let's try ....
    OK - contacts seem good.
    The caledar is stillhit and miss. I noticed I had created an invite to myself in the calendar - sort of a reminder to do something but still created an invite - this one does not show up and few others that are series not showing up?
    I am closer however and will see how this works ...
    Apple - it would sure be nice if you would just get with the worked on the *.ics files --- this is a huge issue on both the business and consumer side ...

  • How do I sync my Calendar and Contacts with my Mac ?

    How do I sync my Calendar and Contacts between my iPhone4 and my Mac ?  It did until January. Now in iTunes the check box for syncing them is not present anymore. Instead I see the text "Your contacts are being synced over the air" (which doesn't happen).  Exactly the same occurs w.r.t. Calendar.  I do not understand why synchronisation was ok until January, but suddenly it doesn't work anymore.

  • Synchronizing Outlook Calendar and Contacts with Blackberry Q10

    I got a new Blackberry Q10 device and wanted to synchronize it with my Outlook calendar and contacts on my notebook. I installed Blackberry Link on the notebook. But in a pop down menu I was only allowed to choose from 2 pst-files which are not the correct ones. The one I want to choose is in another folder. But how can I select this one to synchronize with?
    Thanks for your help. And sorry for the silly question, but I am only a very normal user without any specific know how.
    Kind regards
    Malika

    Hey MalikaBauer,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Is the Microsoft Outlook profile that you're currently trying to access on an Microsoft Exchange server or is hosted at a different location?  If so, you will not be able to access that PST with BlackBerry Link.
    BlackBerry Link currently only supports local PST files.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • How do I sync my calendar and Contacts with MS Outlook 2013?

    I'm switching to a Samsung S5 from an Iphone 4S.  I used the icloud to manage contacts and my calendar with its integration with Microsoft Outlook 2013.  For a variety of reasons, I want to stick with my desktop version of Outlook rather than going to Outlook 365, but I need to figure out how I can share the calendar and contacts.  Does Google or someone else have an app that integrates with Outlook?

  • Syncing Outlook calendars and contacts

    For some reason my calendars and contacts are no longer syncing with my Z10.  Initially I tried setting it up so I could sync between two PCs like I did with my old BB Torch, but I seem to have got in a mess as the entries were doubling up on my phone which I really don't want.   Now nothing seems to be working.  Can anyone help me run through what could be going wrong?
    Thanks in advance
    Nena

    Hey nenablake,
    Thanks for the post.
    Do you get any specific errors when you try to do the synchronization in BlackBerry Link?  When it stopped synching, did you add a new email account recently?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • Can't Sync Calendar and Contacts with Outlook 2007

    I have an iPhone and I usually sync my calendar and contacts with my Outlook 2007. But since a few days wherever I change or add a new information (PC or iPhone) it doesn't sync. Nothing changes in any device. No error is displayed. Does someone know what can be possibly happening, since it has worked perfectly since 2009? I have tried to remove the calendars and add it again and didn't have success.
    Thanks.

    Open Microsoft Outlook. Go to Tools > Options, then in the "Other" tab. Check the box next to " Make Outlook the default program for mail , contacts and calendar. Confirm by clicking OK.
    Microsoft Windows XP :
    Click on the Start menu and choose Set Program Access and Defaults.
    In the left pane, select Set Program Access and Defaults.
    In the right pane , select Custom.
    A line Choose a mail program default , select your Outlook email client.
    Microsoft Vista :
    Click on the Start menu and choose Default Programs.
    Then click Choose your default programs.
    In the left pane select Microsoft Outlook and right click Set this program as default.

  • HT3748 since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mail no longer works well w/exchange email; so, I have had to switch back to outlook. Now, how can I use outlook for mac's calendar and contacts with icloud?

    Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?

    Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
    And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
    "The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
    Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
    The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do.

  • My iTunes only syncs my calendar and contacts on the second sync, why?

    When I sync my Outlook Calendar and Contacts with iTunes, I noticed the first sync does the backup but doesn't sync the calendar and contacts. I need to click sync a second time and then it syncs my calendar and contacts. How do I set it up where it syncs everything including cal/contacts on the first sync?
    Second Question: From when I had MM, I noticed it shows Work, Home, and Calendar under my Calendar. I want to consolidate and only have Calendar. Is there a way to consolidate all 3 and delete Home and Work?

  • How can I sync only Calendars and Contacts on my work PC

    Previous versions of the iCloud control panel allowed me to select separately which items I wanted to sync with a PC, Calendars, Contact, Email.
    The new version of the control panel has this bundled as a single choice.
    How can I eliminate incuding mail?
    I am trying to use this on a work PC to keep calendars and contacts in sync, but cannot include iCould email.  If I cannot eliminate just the email will need to remove all syncing (defeating the purpose of the cloud).

    You might wait until the next Mavericks to see if iTunes syncing for contacts and calendars is restored.  Otherwise, you can either install OS X server to restore local syncing (see https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-server/id714547929), or start syncing your calendars and contacts with another service such as Google/Gmail.

  • HT1692 I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; twpo problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my calendar will not syncd at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do no

    I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; two problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my outlook calendar will not sync at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do not come across ot iPhone.

    It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.
