Sync Outlook Calendar With Iphone

Have you been searching for how to sync Outlook with iPhone? Perhaps, you’ve spent hours, days, weeks, or months trying to fix your calendar sync and other Outlook sync issues. Many people are in the same boat, especially those trying to use iTunes to sync Outlook Calendar with iPhone.

Outlook sync with iTunes may be free, but it comes with a price regardless of which version of Outlook you use — that includes Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2003.

If you have Outlook 2013 or later, the news is not good. Many reports say iTunes and Outlook 2013 won’t play together at all. There’s no official word from Apple about the incompatibility, but users have reported this in many conversations with Apple tech support.

“I've spent several hours with Apple Telephone Support on this issue and the answer is that Apple dropped support for syncing with Outlook as of Outlook 2013 and the only way to sync is to put your various forms of private information onto Apple's servers,” writes one user.

The problems with iTunes Sync

Many iPhone owners have searched forums to try to find a solution to iPhone calendar not syncing with Outlook. Others have a different problem - Outlook contacts and calendar worked for awhile, then stopped working. One[MKE1]  user said he went to the Apple Store for tech support, and even they couldn’t solve the problem.

Do any of these sound familiar?

“Spent about 5 hours with it on Friday … 2 hours with Apple support. Still not resolved! Major issue!!!”

“I have been trying to figure this out for several days, uninstalling, re-installing, etc.”

“I have the same issue with iPhone 4 calendar and contact not updating. I lost few meetings because of this issue.”

“I don’t think your 9-step workaround is what Steve Jobs meant when he famously said, ‘It just works!’”

“Didn't work. Am going to evaluate third party software product that bypasses iTunes and iCloud and sync calendar with iphone directly to Outlook.”

The problems with iTunes Sync (Cont’d.)
