IOS 6 sync exchange calendar issue

After upgrading to iOS 6, i tried to add an exchange account for my google calendars. I end up in an endless loop of it asking for my password.


Completely delete account and start over only to end up in the same loop. It goes through all the setup, appears to be ok saves the account and then about 10 seconds later starts prompting me for a password...


All settings are correct (server is m.google.com) user name and password are correct.


thoughts?


thanks!

Having a freak out here too. After downloading IOS 6 all of my calendar (and now contact) information is gone on my Entourage (2008) on my Mac Book Pro (10.8.2). The data is still on my iphone (Mac calendar), iCal (on my Mac) and iCloud. I have been able to add some test events on my iphone and Mac and they seem to sync up with each other, but all the old data will not sync with Mac (Entourage)...HELP!!!

I'm having a similar problem to D. Rue where both my Gmail and Exchange accounts only pull in some of my calendar items and others are a day or two out of date. For example, yesterday, on my iPad, I changed the time of one of my meetings and it was synched to my exchange account just fine. Today, on my iPad, the item is out of date, showing the original time while my exchange account shows the correct time. My Gmail account is having the same issue.


I'll try what others are suggesting, remove the gmail account and recreate it using Gmail and not exchange. I guess I also try to remove my exchange account and recreate it to see if that does the trick.


I'm having this issue on both my iPad and my iPhone. My Mac iCal app works just fine.

Still struggling with this! From my iPhone (on iOs6) the calendar syncs just fine, also back to calendar in laptop.


In iPad calendar sync stopped happening yesterday some time. Tried many of the suggestions around, culminating in deleting Gmail account and re adding.


I notice that if I just add it with mail it works fine.


If I try to add with calendar or notes it will not work. Further, if I try to add calendar or notes AFTER adding account with just mail, it sits there saying "turning on calendars/notes" for ever. Nothing happens.


I can access all Google capabilities with Google iPad app, but that rather negates the benefit of having your calendar accessible in iPad when offline!


This is clearly an iOS6 and (quite likely iPad specific) issue.

Was having the same issue where one time events from Exchange were being sync'ed fine, but re-occurring events were not showing up on my phone.


Ended up deleting the entire Exchange account and re-adding it with the same settings and it all works fine now. If Exchange is your default and you have multiple accounts as I do, don't forget to re-select Exchange as the default after this.
