Unable to sync outlook calendar since ios 6 upgrdae

Hi,
Ever since I upgraded my iphone 4S to iOS 6 my MS outlook calendar which I use at work has not been syncing on the phone. At work I use a PC with Windows 7. I use a Mac at home to sync apps etc and back up my iphone.
Its very wierd because 5-7 mins after I check the Exchange calendar in the Calendar edit mode it automatically unchecks itself. Even if it shows as checked the events don't get synced. I have also done a factory reset though itunes and resynced it with the back up profile, but to no avail.
Everything was working fine with iOS 5.1.1
Will be extremely grateful for any help
Thanks

The iTunes on my MacBook Pro 17 (Mountain Lion) would not sync with my iPad 3 and iPhone GS, both with IOS 6.  Worked fine prior to the OS & IOS upgreade.
Today, I took my MBP, iPhone 3GS, and iPad 3 to the Apple store to try syncing at that location.  I was unable to sync in the Apple store. I spent 30 minutes with technical support at the Genius Bar, but he was unable to make the syncing work properly.  It will only sync using a USB cable.  It will not sync in wireless mode.  The strange part is that wireless syncing will occur occasionally.  The mobile devices will mount properly in the iTunes Devices menu approximately 1 out of every 15-20 attempts.
The Genius Bar technician finally consulted with other technicians "in the back" and was informed that the problem I was having was an IOS 6/Mountain Lion "emerging issue" that would be addressed in a future update.
I checked the Apple support site to discover that hundreds of other Apple customers are having the same problem.

  • Unable to sync TX calendar with Outlook 2003 (Windows XP)

    Last week I noticed that random past diary entries were gradually disappearing from my TX with each Hotsync without me changing any settings or receiving any error message. They went 1st from Outlook on my PC but remained on my TX and then all non-recurring anniversaries pre-2008 disappeared from my handheld too.  Future events were fine though.
     We contacted Palm Live Chat twice but got nowhere.  They couldn’t retrieve the lost data; tell me why it had happened or what to do to stop it happening again.  I was quite upset because I’d lost 5 years’ diary entries and then annoyed when I scrolled through the help forums and saw how many people were experiencing similar problems. 
     Luckily, I managed to find an old version of my calendar up to last summer in Palm Desktop on our laptop.  So we copied it over to the PC via a memory stick, changed the PIM conduit temporarily and synced the TX with Palm Desktop (version 4.2), making sure the HS icon was customised to synchronise the calendar files.  But what it did instead was overwrite the calendar on the TX with that from Palm Desktop, effectively wiping all calendar entries from last summer off the handheld – including all my future plans.
     In an attempt to get these back, we changed the PIM conduit back to sync with Outlook and tried again.  Now everything has come to a total standstill.  Luckily, my calendar events from this year and the future are still in Outlook but it won’t now sync with my TX at all.  When I try to HS, the TX seems to do a soft set and reboot itself back to the factory date & time setting page.
     We have also tried:
    ·                      Disabling Windows Automatic Updates before performing a Hotsync
    ·                      Running the repair feature in Office 2003
    ·                      Running DBFixIt 
     None of that has thrown up any errors and I have got myself in an increasingly desperate tangle.  The latest HS log is below and it looks as if I’ve probably duplicated lots of files I shouldn’t have by desperately swapping between Outlook and Palm desktop (take a deep breath – it’s huge ….)  Can anyone please help me?  I’m so fed up about this.

    Problems with a calendar sync in Outlook can generally be traced to a corrupt appointment at some time. It can happen from a shutdown in Outlook or any number of other reasons. If you can remember when the trouble began, see if you can locate an appointment on that day. You can also try and reset the sync history in iTunes, and can also run scanpst.exe and troubleshoot your Outlook file.
    I've used every version of Outlook since 2000 and have been able to trace this issue a couple of times to an appointment that has a recurring setting. You can change the view of your appointments and list them. When you do that, you may be able to locate an appointment that doesn't look right. I had to print out all of my appointments once and then reenter them. Luckily I didn't have that many, so it didn't matter. Again, this is usually something corrupt in the Outlook file that will make the problem appear, and since everything else in Outlook is syncing except the calendar, that is the place to look.

  • I'm trying to sync Outlook calendar (office 2010?win 8) with my iphone 4s. All works well when running control panel manually but it will not run automatically after that. Anyone got any ideas

    I'm trying to sync outlook calendar and contacts via icloud control panel. Everything works when control panel is run manually but it will not run automatically after that. Anyone got any ideas

    I am having a very similar problem. Until 12 hours ago, I was using my recently replaced 4s (with iOS7) flawlessly, receiving emails and calendar info from Exchange (Outlook 2010). But starting last night, it all stopped. I have deleted and added the account several times, tried making simple changes (considering whether the username is case sensitive, or not, etc.) and cannot fix it. I have iOS 7.04. Interestingly, the first time I changed the case to lower case, it seemed to respond immediately, and downloaded many emails with no sender, no content, and with a 12/31/69 date. Yes, 1969. And then nothing happened. Help please!

  • Problem Syncing Outlook Calendar: Error code - 0x80043ac9

    Hi,
    When I try to sync my Outlook 2003 calendar entries with my Curve, I get the following error:
    "Error encountered. Error code - 0x80043ac9. Check documentation."
    It seems to be stuck in the "Processing Device Calendar" screen, with "Record 20 of 80 Records", when the above error popped up. See screenshot below.
    I have NO PROBLEM syncing Outlook Contacts or Memos. I ONLY have problem when syncing Outlook Calendar.
    I've read other posts out there where there was a similar problem when syncing Contacts, and the solution is to remove Birthday contact entries:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Curve-BlackBerry-8900/error-code-0x80043ac9/m-p/56...
    But I don't have any Birthday in my contacts, and my problem is with Calendar, not Contacts.
    Does anyone have any idea how to solve this, or encountered similar problems? It's probably a "bad" calendar entries in there somewhere, but I'm not sure which.
    Thanks!

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    I suggest the following:
    Back up the calendar database on the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Clear the calendar database on the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Note: For instructions on how to clear an individual database on the BlackBerry smartphone, see KB10167.
    Thanks,

  • Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars.  I am not running exchange server.

    Is there a way to sync outlook calendars with Imac, Ipad, Iphone calendars?  I am not running exchange server.

    hello,
    BlackBerry devices do not support ActiveSync.
    you have several ways, from best to less good :
    1)
    if your company has set up Outlook Web Access, you can use the BIS connection of your device to connect to the Exchange server (email + Address book) through the url of the Outlook Web Access. The OWA needs to be accessible from outside the company.
    2)
    if your company has setup an external link to the exchange server (can be accessible from outside the company), you can configure your BIS directly to the Exchange server (email only if I recall correctly)
    3)
    if your company allows it, on your PC you can setup your email account to automatically forward all incoming emails to a third party email (like GMail or Hotmail), and then configure BIS to connect to that email provider. You will get push email. You can then setup a reply-to: field.
    4)
    use a Windows Mobile phone that has the ActiveSync feature.

    If you are indeed using 10.5.8 as indicated in your signature you will first need to upgrade to Snow Leopard; this is available in the Online Apple Store. You will then be able to uprade to Lion - again available in the Online Store where you will get a code to enable download from the App Store in Applications. This will enable you to use iCloud and run the latest iTunes.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Yes per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 setup iCloud on all devices under the same account and backup to the cloud. If its two iPhones, are they both one owner? If not,it's best to not setup iCloud on a device that is not the same owner.

  • Curve 8310 Problems Syncing Outlook Calendar & Desktop Manager Freezing

    Hi: I recently bought a Curve 8310. It has Desktop Manager version 4.2.2.14; my laptop has Vista Home Premium and I use Outlook 2007.
    Just a day or two ago Desktop Manager started crashing while syncing Outlook Calendar. It stops at Calendar entry 76 and then freezes. From checking the Technical Solution Center I understand the problem may be a corrupt Calendar entry. Dealing with this apparently involves going into Configure Synchronization but Desktop Manager won't let me do this. If I start it when the phone is connected to my laptop it doesn't register the connection and often freezes. If I start it, then connect the phone, and stop the synchronization process before it crashes Manager, clicking on any of the Desktop Manager ikons, including Synchronize, doesn't have any effect. I've tried reinstalling Desktop Manager from the CD supplied by my phone provider but it's made no difference.
    I'd be grateful for any advice; Before this problem developed I was really enjoying my BlackBurry. 

    Hi,
    First we need to do a clean reinstall of the software to makes sure all registry and files have been completely removed:
     Link 1.
    Then we need too reinstall the 4.2 software, taking into account the Vista considerations for install:
    Link 2
    After install reboot the PC, start DM, Pull the battery while the device is ON, replace after a minute,
    Let the device reboot 1-3 min,  Plug the BB into the USB cable, Go to synchronization options and rest the options to only
    Synch the calendar, sync for two way, select no other programs. Start the sync process.
    Please let us know the results,
    Thanks,

  • Icloud no longer syncing Outlook calendar on my PC with iphone

    My Outlook calendar on my PC is no ,longer syncing with icloud or with my iphone. This happened since IOS6 update.

    If events added to the calendar on your computer are appearing in iCloud and on your phone, but not the other way around you might want to check your default calendar setting on your phone.  Got to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendar...scroll down to the Calendar section and tap Default Calendar.  Here be sure it is still set to your Outlook calendar and not, for example, the calendar under On My iPhone.

  • Sync Outlook Calendar with iPod doesn't work with iTunes 7?

    Ever since I've upgraded to iTunes 7, when I try to sync my Outlook Calendar with my iPod - either Outlook crashes or it says it's doing it, but the calendar on my iPod is now blank even when I have things scheduled on my calendar.
    Is there any fix or work around for this? Is anyone aware of this problem?

    This is meant with a bit of humor in the first part of my response to illustrate why polls asking for people not having a problem can be inaccurate here. Then I will get into some suggestions that are more techical in nature.
    If you walk to the waiting room at your local hospital's emergency room, and ask is there anybody here who is waiting to see the Doctors who is not sick or injured, please speak up. If everything was working, would you be here to post?
    If you turn off Outlook Syncing, and turn it back on, do you get the Windows security screen? It might pop up under the iTunes 7 window. There is a screenshot of the window I am referring to here:
