Syncing with Outlook, faulty and unsuccessful

I have read through some of the posts, and apologize if I missed one with the same problem I am having. I was disappointed getting my Z10 initially when I wasn't able to sync with my outlook Calendar and Contacts. However, that was quickly changed and is available on Link now. However, I have a number of issues with it. At the risk of putting too much detail, I have tried different settings for the sync, using the device as the main or the computer as the main source. I have the latest version of Link, and have removed and reinstalled that software. I also bought a new laptop a couple weeks ago, and attempted on this machine, only to have the same problems. so here is a list of the issues I continue to have.
Calendar:
The most recent attempt, some of the data off my outlook calendar made it to my z10 but none of the information on my z10 went to the outlook calendar.
Contacts.
Creates duplicates of some contacts on both z10 and computer
removed email addresses.. to do this, it created a duplicate address in my z10 than kept only that duplicate with incomplete information in the outlook contact file
Crossed information between two contacts with similar names.
In some of the contacts again on both z10 and computer, created a duplicate of information inside the contact itself, without creating a duplicate contact. ( ie, if contact had two phone numbers and 2 email addresses, it now has duplicates showing 4 phone numbers and 4 emails,... other information also duplicated inside the contact)
Before I got the z10 I was able to flawlessly sync between my phone my playbook and my outlook file on my laptop. My current issues don't even address the lack of sync between the playbook and outlook now.
are these issues others have seen or experienced. Is it operator error or is there a bug somewhere.
Thanks in advance for any and all help

I have the same problem with Q10 I just purchased this last week. Blackberry Link is the worst application I have used. Is Blackberry going to do anything about it? They should if they want to increase their sales, if the product is not working it puts a bad light on Blackberry. Please Blackberry do something, I want to see your success!!! THe current Blackberry LINK still has alot of bugs that MUST be fixed.....
1. Performance very very slow hours to process
2. incorrect or duplicated entries 3. unable to update both device and outlook, no choices
4. unable to sync task and memos.

Do you have windows mobile device center installed(WMDC)? If not download it from here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx
Be sure you download the correct version for your PC. If you have 32bit OS or 64bit OS. To find this out, right click on Computer under start and select properties. Near the middle it should say 32bit or 64bit. If you know you have the correct software. Open up the control panel and go to sync settings. Right click on the partnership you have setup and select delete. On your device go to Start-->Programs-->Activesync-->Menu-->Options tap on Windows PC and select Delete. Then once both are done resetup your partnership. But this time uncheck everything. Then once it is done syncing. Go to Mobile device settings and change content sync settings and select Contact. Click save and let it sync. Do the same for calendar, tasks, and notes but leave the last item checked. So when Contacts are done syncing you go and check Calendar and leave Contacts

N86 no longer syncs with Outlook Calendar and Task

I have been having much troubles with syncing my N86 (recently updated to 30.009 firmware) to my Outlook 2003 with Ovi Suite 2.1.1.1.
At first, the Contacts kept duplicating themselves. I have about 1000 contacts in my Outlook, but Ovi Suite (and my N86 device) ends up sometimes with 1800 contacts -- of which 800 are duplicates. This is very annoying and time consuming to clean up of course. I have discovered that the problem is somehow linked to Ovi.com. I have since turned off syncing to Ovi.com and only keep my N86 device in sync with Outlook and Ovi Suite. But that wasn't before I had to basically delete all my contacts from the N86 device and from Ovi Suite, followed by a sync to Outlook.
Around this same time, I have noticed that my N86 device was missing appointments that I had entered into Outlook 2003. I discovered that the N86 device no longer syncs to Outlook through Ovi Suite. I keep getting the error message "Sync Canceled -- Could not sync calendar items and tasks. Plug the USB cable into your device again or connect via Bluetooth. Then sync again." I did reconnect my N86 device but the same error message shows each time. Basically, Ovi Suite has stopped syncing Calendar items with my N86 device now.
Can anyone suggest what might have gone wrong? Has anyone else experienced this problem? What can I do to get my calendar items back into my device?

Hi Tickles,
Could you be more specific about your issue.
Which operating system do u use?
Are you trying to connect thru cable or thru Bluetooth?
Go to OVI suite -> help -> About nokia OVI suite -> System information. Paste the information...

Problems with Sync with Outlook contacts and calendar (Office 2007)

I have been able to set up my Blackberry curve with email accounts, but sync with Outlook contacts fails. My device will show as connected, but nothing happens. I continue to get a message if I want to use Mass Storage mode on my phone and I assume this should be checked as yes, then I get a folder showing up on my desktop with "Removable Disk (E, which contains several files.
When Desktop Manager is opened I get message "Initial Plugin: Verifying Applications" "checking the status of the applications on the device. This is only required on the first connection of the device to a new desktop installation" It shows in the same dialog box "connecting to the device (JVM)...
The connection hangs and nothing happens. I have reinstalled software and was even told by Verizon Support to exchange the phone (which I did), but the same issue of non-connection for sync is still there.
Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

iTunes thread found that sync issue was caused by reoccuring appointments,
Basically you need to modify the reoccuring appointments (and may require to add an end date as this was how the guy made a modification) and then re-sync.

Exchange email not syncing with Outlook 2010 and Z10

Hi all,
I've just set up my work email's to sync with my BB Z10. This all works fine and I'm getting the emails on my phone. But when I read an email from my phone, it does not get read in Outlook. When I delete an email on my phone, it does not get deleted in Outlook. Vice versa. If I read and delete emails in Outlook, they do not get read or deleted on my phone. This is rather frustrating as the whole point of syncing emails is to be able to have full control away from the office. I've got Delete on Handheld and Server on yet they are not deleting on Handheld and Server. These settings work fine for my personal accounts but just not on my Exchange account. Initially when I deleted a load of messages from my phone I got the following message 'Email messages will be removed from the BlackBerry Hub but will remain on the server'. Can I turn this option off? Also why is it coming up with this even though I have Delete on Handheld and Server on.
Thanks in advance,
Rajan

go to settings, accounts, choose the account in question, tap on advanced on bottom, do you show server address and port 443 below it and using SSL with PUSH on?

Can't sync with outlook, error 8393f017

Hi everyone.
I am using a Nokia E51 and Ovi Suite, both the latest versions, under Windows 7 32 bits.
However, some weeks ago, it stopped syncing with Outlook (calendar and contacts). However, it can correctly sync the SMS messages.
It starts syncing and stops saying that the phone got disconnected, error 8393f017.
The same thing happens with bluetooth and USB cable.
What can I do?
Solved!

Why build a phone that wont sync with outlook??

I know I can upload all my contact info to google as .csv, but why OH WHY did they design this thing that will not simply sync with my outlook calendar and contacts. Unbelievable. My iPad was seamless, flawless, simple.

Your premise is not true - the Razr (and any Android device) will sync with Outlook Calendar and Contacts. There are many different options depending on how you are using Outlook (personal pc, corporate exchange server, etc) and what and how you want to sync.
Here is a pretty complete list of software to sync Outlook and Exchange to an Android device. If you click on the software's title you will learn more about it and it often will show you how to set up the connection.

Syncing with Outlook 2007/2003 takes a very long time!

Does anyone know how to rectify this? I jsut got my iPhone - first Apple product ever. I sync it with my Outlook and it takes about 15 minutes. I only have 10 songs as of now, just to test with and it stillt akes forever.
I have tried syncing with Outlook open and with Outlook closed. The time difference is the same. ANy insight would be greatly appreciated. I am used to using Active sync that takes about 10-40 seconds each time I did a sync with my old phone.
Thanks!

USB 1.1 or 2.0 ports and is your iPhone connected to a USB port on your computer - not through a USB port on your monitor or keyboard or through a USB hub?

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can i fix this without turning off iCloud?

My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
one more bug in a complicated system I guess

How do I remove one of the calendars from iCloud but keep it on the iPhone to sync with Outlook by USB and keep the other calendars synced on iCloud ?

iPhone 5, Macs and iPads at home, Windoze7 system at work.
Using iCloud to sync calendars, contacts, etc on all the home devices. Used USB cable to sync at work with the Windows system, with the Outlook 2010 corporate account (corporate server). I need only the Outlook calendar to be synced, syncing the contacts created too many problems with duplication, etc. No need for that. Worked fine until the latest upgrate to iOS7 and iTunes 11.1. Used to have a calendar that was not on iCloud and was simply and exclusively syncing between the iPhone and the Windows computer at work. The other 3 calendars synced fine with the macs and iOS devices via iCloud but not with the machine at work - keeping private records private.
Upon the iOS upgrade, all calendars are now on iCloud. I am no longer able to remove one - for security too - from the iCloud and sync it with the Windows computer exclusively. I managed to sync it once on the PC with iTunes by switching iCloud off on the iPhone before connection by USB cable. Trying it again, it tells me that it will erase all items on the Outlook account (the "more than 25% of your records are going to change" alert) and won't add or modify any. I stopped the sync in time...
Tried on the iCloud site for a solution to remove the calendar, nothing.
There is no iCloud setup on this corporate computer - no access permitted. The USB cable connection is the only solution and up to the upgrade of the iOS this went seamlessly.
Any solution out there?
Thanks
Vladski

I share a similar situation (usb iTunes sync with Outlook with my corporate laptop; personal calendar on icloud).
With IOS7, at first, iTunes/Windows does not propose Outlook sync anymore. I need to switch off calendar from iTunes to enable usual usb sync with Outlook. I had to sync it twice while checking "replace iphone data" to get a stable behaviour (like before) IOS7.When I try to re-enable icloud calendars, it proposes me to merge them...
I did not test merging so far...
IOS7 and iTunes 11.1 are not completely polished ;-)

Upgrading my PC from windows 8.0 to 8.1, I accepted to use Skydrive as Cloud. Now I have lost my ICloud calendar sync with my iphone and iPad which appears no more in Outlook. I can access calendar on my PC through iCloud app but not printable. HELP!

My iphone and ipad are stil synchronized but Calendar does not sync with Outlook since I upgraded the PC to windows 8.1
You may answer in English, Italian or French...
Thanks for Help!!!

All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

TS3999 Since upgrading to IOS 7, my calendar no longer syncs with Outlook Express 2010 on my PC. I believe we have iCloud 3.0 on our PC. I have tried all of the recommended remedies but the calendar from my iPad and iPhone has totally disappeared from Out

Has anyone else had this problem since upgrading their iPhone and iPad to iOS 7?

See Pierre-Yves 1 post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23297197#23297197
This was driving me crazy. Sync between Outlook 2007 and my iphone was working perfectly on ios 6 - I primarily sync Calendar, contacts, and notes.
Then everything went bizerk with ios 7... All of a sudden nothing was getting syncronized, but rather multiple Calendars and Contacts showed up in Outlook 2007. Disabling Calendar, contacts, and Notes in my iphone's icloud settings did the trick. Now I have ONE Calendar and ONE contact list in Outlook, fully in sync with my iphone.

Have tried to install icloud 4.0 for windows and again it does not allow syncing with outlook 2013 calendar and contact using windows 8.1 and IOS 8.02 (unexpected error)? I thought itunes 12.0 and icloud 4.0 would solve issue but still same result.

I have tried to install icloud 4.0 for windows and again is does not allow syncing with outlook 2013 calendar and contact, using windows 8.1 and IOS 8.02 (get - unexpected error)?

Having same issues. had been syncing every few days with outlook 2007 contacts and calendar but since updated to 4.0.2 and latest itunes I get an error that it is unable to sync. I can't seem to find any solution.

Contacts and calendar dont sync with outlook 2013 (win8) - working with IPhone 5S and Ipad air

Dear all,
i just moved to a new PC (former: Sony Vaio pro with win 7 pro, outlook 10 > new: sony vaio duo with win 8, outlook 13 from office 365 home). i used to sync outlook contacts and calendars with blackberry and iphone and ipad on my old notebook using desktop manager from blackberry.
Now with my new PC, ipad and iphone are still working fine and they sync with outlook: new entries on outlook calendar and new contacts are added to my mobile and vice versa but when i connect my Blackberry Bold i don get any of the updates.
i confirm that i am using the latest version of the desktop manager 7.0.
my desktop manager organizer is set up to sync both ways for both calendar and contacts
Any idea please?
thank you in advance for your help
