* Syncing Outlook, iCal & remiders on Lion *

Hello all!
I know this topic may have been covered in other posts (trust me I've looked... for hours), but I'm not sure it has been covered in this situation.
Here's the issue:
I have downloaded the full Microsoft Office 2011 on my new (2011/12) Macbok Pro.
I really like using Outlook for my email, calendar & tasks, but would love to have it sync with my iphone 4s (ios 5.0.1).
Most threads here tell us to sync ical with outlook via using the Tools > Sync option. I have tried this and I cant seem to get either the calendar or the remiders to sync in outlook.
Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
Can anyone help me with a set of instructions?
All help is much apreciated.
Best,
Brian
PS... Would jailbreaking the phone help this issue?

i figured it out.... before syncing your phone to your macbook or whatever:
-go into settings
-select icloud
-go to calendars
-change the selector from ON to OFF
-sync phone to computer
-ical syncing with phone will now work like it did before iOS5 and iCloud, but in a good way

  • Trying to sync Outlook/iCal with iPhone. Got new Outlook 2011 service package

    I downloaded the Office 2011 service pack, which I thought would solve the calendar sync problem with Outlook & iCal. But when I hook up my iPhone to my MacBook Pro, the sync starts and then gets hung up on Step 2 syncing calendar. I've let it go for more than an hour and it does not progress. On iTunes, I have checked the box not to sync anything older than 30 days.

    I got it to work. You need to open iSync and reset the sync history. Then it works great.  Got to this by talking to Apple iphone support.

  • ICloud syncing with ical with Mountain Lion

    I have one icloud calendar on one of my two new macs (MBA 2012 + MBP Retina both with Mountain Lion).
    I have events in my calendar on one mac - the MBA.  It does not sync to iCloud.  I imported that calendar to my other mac successfully but when I refreshed it the calendar went blank just like the calendar on iCloud.  How can I get iCloud to update itself?
    NB It does it ok for mail and contacts/addressbook

    Go to System Preferences>iCloud. You should be able to check which documents and settings you want stored in the cloud and you should be able to then automatically push the items to your iPhone.
    From iCloud help:
    "iCloud stores your content and wirelessly pushes it to your Mac, iOS devices, and PC. iCloud is built into your Mac apps, so they stay up to date with the apps on your other devices set up with iCloud and with the web apps on the iCloud website. Thereʼs no need to dock your iOS device or sync it to your computer."
    Does it work for you?

  • Sync-outlook & ical 3 pc's

    Has anyone sync with multiple computers and windows and mac OS's???

    Only on the first sync of the first device will everything overwrite the account in the cloud. Everything else will merge and all three will continue to be merged. What does this mean, if you delete on one, it will delete/resolve on another when it syncs if you have bookmarks selected to sync.
    Senario answer: The second pc will merge with the 1st and the first will be a mix of both. It may be possible to attach the second computer with a blank profile while the first is already organized if that is what you are going for? Please always have a local back up.[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

  • Outlook not syncing with iCal after Lion Upgrade

    I updated to Lion, so I could more easily sync our family's calendars and contacts in Outlook to our iPhones/iPods via iCloud.  Now that I have done that, Outlook no longer syncs to iCal/Address Book and then there is the internal Microsoft issue.  How do I get the syncing working since iSync isn't part of Lion?

    Greetings,
    You may have issues with Outlook and might want to remove and reinstall it (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768). 
    Before going down that road:
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
    Backup your entire computer (its a good idea): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    Quit all open applications
    Follow all the steps in this Microsoft article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2452489
    If syncing is still not working:
    Quit all open applications
    Follow http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    If syncing is still not working:
    SafeBoot the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
    While in SafeBoot remove the following to the trash:
    Macintosh HD > Library > Caches (All the contents of the folder not the folder itself)
    Home > Library > Application Support > Sync Services (The entire folder)NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion: Click anywhere on the desktop and then click on the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen while holding down the "option" key on the keyboard.  You will see "Library" in the menu.
    Restart the computer and test.
    Hope that helps!

  • Outlook 2011 no longer syncing with iCal 5

    After the upgrade to Lion, Outlook 2011 w/ sp1 no longer syncs with iCal. Sync services are on but no syncing takes place.

    facing the same problem, it was syncing prior to my upgrade to Lion. have you managed to find a solution?

  • Calendar sync between iCal, Outlook 2011 and 2010 and iCloud

    All,
    I'm having trouble syncing calendars on my devices and I haven't been able to find a workable solution yet. I know this topic has been covered extensively, but I haven't found anything that works.
    I want to be able to sync my calendars (email works just fine) between three devices: A MBP (Mountain Lion) running Outlook 2011, iPhone 4S (Calendar App) and a desktop (Win8) with Outlook 2010.
    Currently, I have no problem syncing the desktop with my iPhone (using iCloud) and these events sync into iCal on the MBP. Outlook 2011 on the MBP syncs into iCal using Sync Services to the "On My Mac" calendar. All of my previous calendar entries are single events in the iPhone, Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2011, but show up as duplicates in iCal (one entry is in the iCloud calendar, and other is in the On My Mac calendar). Since I don't use iCal as my "working" calendar program on my MBP, the duplicates are fine if it works as an interface between iCloud and On My Mac.
    For any new calendar items, however, I must obviously select which calendar they'll appear in. As suspected, if I select iCloud, the items all sync to iCal, Outlook 2010 and my iPhone, but not Outlook 2011; conversely, creating events in Outlook 2011 syncs via On My Mac to iCal, but not the devices as using iCloud.
    It seems to me that if a rule could be made in iCal which duplicated any event from On My Mac into iCloud, and another rule which duplicated iCloud events into On My Mac, there would be complete syncing across the programs, with obvious duplications of events in iCal (which is fine by me). I'm not a programmer and I have no idea how to, or even if, this can be done.
    Has anyone else found a way to make this work, or have any other solutions?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Outlook 2011 is not compatible with iCloud, it won't work and your 'workaround' may affect iCloud clients on the same account.
    Don't use 2011.

  • Can't sync Outlook with iCal - but only when I activate iCloud

    I have seen discussions in the forums about problems syncing Outlook with iCal - however, that is not *exactly* my issue. I can sync them fine, until I put the resulting iCal calendar in iCloud. Then Outook (2011 for Mac) stops syncing with iCal (v. 5.0.3). I take it out of iCloud, it works. What I want to be able to do is: 1. Sync Outlook with iCal. 2. Sync iCal with my iPhone via iCloud.
    I used to manually sync my iPhone (4s) with my work computer (which apparently I could go back to doing if I change the settings in my iPhone?) and just update my work calendar to get it on my phone (my home calendar syncs fine, but it's not integrated with Outlook). I don't want to only use iCal, because I get a lot of Outlook invites for meetings.
    Is this a feature that's just not supported by Apple at this time? Do I need to upgrade my O/S? I'm using Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion).
    In short, I just want my Outlook calendar on my iPhone (ideally, without having to manually sync).

    What kind of iPad and iPhone are you working with.. and what Software version on (5.1.1) is the most recent..

  • How to sync outlook 2013 and iCal

    Hi there!
    So, at work I use a windows computer cause our company's applications don't run on a mac. But at home and mobile, everything is Mac. To organize my agenda I use my iCloud calendar. When I'm at work and have to input something in my calendar, I have to either get my iPhone out of my pocket or log into the browser version of iCloud and input it there. I use a company based e-mail (not an outlook account) managed through outlook 2013 office app, and I noticed that it also has a calendar you can input your appointments, set meetings and etc. My question is: Is there a way to sync both iCal app and the Outlook app so that everything I input at home (in a Mac) shows up at work (in Outlook) and vice-versa? This would make life so much easier cause I won't need to keep switching between apps.
    Thank you all!

  • Problem syncing iPhone 4S w/ iCal after Mountain Lion upgrade

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard (I think?) and now my iPhone calendar entries will not show up in iCal. 
    They are not just recurring events, it seems that all iPhone events that were added after this point are not syncing with iCal. 
    Please help!

    All entries are frozen dating back to the point of upgrade, but the recurring events continue to show up. 
    To test it out, I subscribed to the US Holidays calendar, and it doesn't show up on my iPhone either.

  • HT1692 Sync multiple Ical calendarsvone way to microsoft office outlook

    I would like to sync multiple ical calendars one way to microsoft office outlook

    I use Google Calendar Sync to sync my work Outlook calendar to a gmail account, then sync that to my iPhone.  It works well for me for the past couple of years.
    As far as mail itself, just ask your it folks for settings for remote access to your exchange account, and then set it up on the phone.
    As far as working with Office docs, to be able to actually edit them and such, look in the app store for DocsToGo or QuickOffice - they both are good but each has it's pros and cons, so on balance it's down to mere preference i think.

  • ITunes not syncing Outlook calendar. Only gives option of iCal which I don't use.

    I just bought a new iMac and I'm trying to sync my iPhone with the iMac. I have Microsoft Outlook as my main calendar keeper. iTunes is not pointing to Oulook to sync the calendar. It wants to sync with iCal which I don't use. Can I sync Microsoft Outlook on my iPhone? I used to be able to do it on my PC.

    In your case you need to log out of the iTunes Store, restart your iOS device, then log in to the store again.
