iTunes 11 does not allow direct Outlook calender sync anymore. Why?

Choose "From my PC" as the default account.

THanks, but that is the one I have checked all along.

I just got a new iPad mini a few weeks ago and have been using iTunes 11 since I got it. Up to tonight I had no problems USB syncing Outlook (calendar, contacts, and notes) with my iPad. Tonight, I found that suddenly I could no longer sync with my Outlook calendar on my (Windows 7) PC. My iPad mini has iOS 6.1.3 and my iTunes is 11.0.5.5.

After a lot of failed attempts to correct this problem I stumbled on a fairly simple solution... at least that worked for me. Here's what I did:

- Double checked my Outlook calendar to make sure all my events were listed.

- Unchecked "Sync Calendars with Outlook" in iTunes.

- Synced my device (which had me verify that the sync would remove my PC calendar from my iPad)

- Checked "Sync Calendars with Outlook" in iTunes again

- Synced my device again

After this cycle, my iPad calendar was complete and syncing correctly with Outlook again. Here's to hoping this "fix" holds. I'll post back if it doesn't.

bgfffdave. This worked for me. Thank you. I don't understand what happened or why it happened but just thankful that it worked. I have a 4S with IOS 7.

bgrffdave. Thanks, this worked for me too. I spent most of today today trying to figure this out including a phone call to apple support which didn't resolve the issue. I hadn't had any problems syncing until this latest update (11.1.0.126) which for some reason would sync everything except my calendar which it said it couldn't sync because my iPhone was "disconnected"...odd given it synced everything else. I have a 4 with IOS 6.1.3. My iPad synced without issue (a 2 with 6.1.3).

I used to be able to sync events older than 30 days but for now my iPhone will only sync events up to 30 days. If I try any further back I get the same message that it couldn't sync my calendar because my iPhone is disconnected. I'll try again some other time. My iPad will sync further back no problem. Weird.

Think I'll hold off on IOS 7 for now......

There is still a way to transfer calendars between iPhone and Outlook on a computer but not via iTunes rather by a third party method: http://www.copytrans.net/support/how-to-transfer-iphone-calendar-to-outlook/

Transfering calendars is not the same as syncing calendars.

I was just about to sync my iphone with outlook and calendar thru my mac. I just realise that in the Itunes - the top panel the feature 'Info' after 'Summary' is not there anymore.

iCloud is necessary if you want to sync contacts to your iPhone and you are using Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
