You may have selected the wrong default calendar on your phone. Check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>scroll down to the Calendar section and tap Default Calendar. Here be sure you have selected your Outlook calendar as your default, and not, for example, the calendar under On My iPhone. If you make a change to this setting, add a new event to your iPhone calendar and sync your phone to see if it transfers to Outlook.

I had this issue a couple of times and the solution for me was very simple.


1. Locate the .ost file on your PC.


C:\Documents and Settings\[USERID]\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook


Note you must have hidden files/folders enabled to see this path.


2. Make sure Outlook is not open


3. Rename the outlook.ost file to something like outlok.ost.old


4. relaunch Outlook


5. Launch itunes and re-sync
