TS1347 How to Sync iPhone 4S iOS7.1 Calendar to Win 8.1 Outlook2013 via iTunes - help?

BACKGROUND & CONTEXT
Having just spent crazy money on a new Windows 8.1 laptop and Office 365 software, I learn only now from Microsoft that over the air sync of Outlook Calendar to iPhone Calendar is not supported. I was forced to get Win8.1 as Win XP was no longer supported and I have to have a Windows PC for work reasons. Previously, on my WinXP laptop I was successfully 2-way syncing Outlook 2007 via Google Calendar Sync to my iPhone Calendar. It worked like a dream (I was forced to use Google because the previous MobileME over the air calendar sync destroyed all my calendars - wiped them clean - a business disaster for me - so I will avoid Apples iCloud sync on calendars now for the same reason).
I read all over the www that you cannot sync Outlook 2013 (windows) via Google Calendar because Google has withdrawn their free Google Calendar Sync service for new PC's. I read people trying workarounds but most seems to fail and create other issues, which I do not want.I need a clean reliable solution - just a 2-way sync between my i{Phone Calendar and my Win8.1 Outlook 2013 calendar. I am realsing that the war between Apple, MS and Google has left me disadvantaged as a customer fo all three and I am frankly angry at all three of them, but that's not what I am here to get help on.
I am an iTunes user but not on WIndows - I have a separate MacBook Pro which I sync the iPhone with only for music/videos. I do not want to use the MacBook Pro for business or calendars.
QUESTIONS
Is the only reliable solution for me to use Itunes on my PC and sync iPhone calendar to Win8.1 Outlook calendar via USB cable?
If it is the only solution - how do I set up a new installation of iTunes on my new Win8.1 laptop so I can ONLY sync the calendar with the iPhone when connected by cable and NOT all my music/vidos ( I want them to remain on the MacBook Pro, and in any case - my new Win8.1 laptop has only a small SSD which I need for work document storage)?
Many thanks in advance for help with my problem.

Thanks. Good to see the standard Apple support pages. I will refer to them if I can confirm the answer to my question about compatbility of Outlook 2013 in this Sync process, i.e. whether or not Outlook 2013 (Win 8.1) is supported on USB or wifi sync via itunes.They list Outlook 2010 but the absence of a listing for 2013 suggest it is not supported. Does anyone out there know if Outlook 2013 (PC) works in calendar sync with iTunes?
Also. I seem to remember that the first time you cable an iPhone to a new installation of iTunes on a new PC.... that it goes into automatic syncing of your iTunes Account (previously held and used on other computers) - and I most definately do not want this to happen. I need full control of manually determining what I manually sync on first hook-up. How can I get thois control please??

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.

HOW TO SYNC IPHONE TO A "SUBSCRIBED CALENDAR"

I have successfully linked my GMAIL calendar to my iCAL calendar on Mobileme. I find this very useful and gives me the most flexibility. I can add events and merge other calendars (holidays etc) using Gmail but am still able to use the iCal on the iPhone which has the best interface.
HOWEVER, the linked calendar appears as a "subscribed calendar" on my mobileme page. When i SYNC this to my iPhone this subscribed calendar does NOT appear.
Is there any resolution in the works for this problem?????
The only reference i can find on apple support leaves the problem UNRESOLVED. See below.
THanks so much
Mac OS X 10.5: Subscribed calendars are listed in their own section of the iCal calendar list. When syncing subscribed calendars to MobileMe, the calendar information and settings for the calendar is synced, but all of the downloaded events are not. This is done to help streamline the syncing process with MobileMe, as it prevents syncing redundant information to other computers with an Internet connection.

The problem has still not been resolved. You cannot sync subscription calendars to the iPhone or iPod Touch at this time.

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.

How to sync iphone to multi computers

Hello Guys,
I got an new iphone 3gs recently and I use two laptops, so how do I sync my iphone to both and load songs from both the lappies. please help me guys

http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
Read Chapter 1. I don't know what the "blue pop-up of death" is so I can't help you with that. You need to be using compatible software on your home computer, for contacts, calendar, etc. be sure you have at least one entry on your home computer so it will merge data. Deselect the option on your work computer to sync music, etc.

How can I delete music from my iPhone 4 (iOS7) when I manually manage the music in iTunes, but it has no affect on my phone's music library?

I'm attempting to delete music from my iPhone 4 (iOS7). When I connect it to iTunes, and the music shows up, I delete the music from the phone. When I disconnect the phone, the music is still there. The same thing happens if I try to sync the phone before disconnecting. I have "manually manage music" checked. Additionally, when I reconnect my iPhone, the music I "deleted" from it when it was previously connected to iTunes no longer appears, preventing me from trying to delete it again.
I know I can swipe left on each song to delete it on my phone, and I have been, but that takes a long time when you're trying to delete everything on your iPhone.
Suggestions?

How to sync iPhone 4 and iTunes 11?

Yesterday I've made lots of app updates (of my iPhone apps), and I've also downloaded an app, everything via iTunes 11. Now, I want to sync them to my iPhone 4. That's it.
However, iTunes doesn't seem to detect my iPhone. I've read on posts and threads that I should click the 'iPhone' button on the top-right corner, but I don't see it. I tried closing and re opening iTunes as well as turning off and on my iPhone and nothing. In the iPhone it says it's charging so I guess the cable is correctly attached.
I've been struggling for hours, and I can't find a way to access my iPhone from iTunes. I tried logging in and out with my two accounts. There's that item File -> Devices on the main menu, but all the options there, including 'Sync', are grayed-out. I pressed cmd+opt+S to see the sidebar, but it doesn't show my iPhone there. If I click on Apps, on the sidebar, I see the list of all m apps, all up to date, but there's no 'Sync' button at the bottom, just a 'Get More Apps' button.
I've been trying a lot of things unsuccessfully, often ending on the app store facing a bunch of crap and ads like they're begging me to buy stuff.
Please, why does it have to be so complicated?
Why does Apple has to make me feel like a ********, both because I can't complete such a simple task and because I'm constantly assailed with ads forcing me to buy things that I have no interest?
That's overwhelmingly pathetic, it makes me want to wacth TV, seriously.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

After upgrading i06 on iphone 4 and Itunes 11 on pc
Does anyone know how to solve why the apps sync starts installing apps on the IPhone, blue bar gets to mid point for each app (even 1 app) then hangs i.e. fully clears the blue bar as if it hasn't started. Occurs on cable connection and Wifi sync.
This then stops you from installing any apps as the hung app shows installing but not doing anything.
Installing new apps is fine however.
cheers

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.
