Q: Outlook 2013 calendar sync to iphone not working

Basically, in Outlook 2013 I click "file"then ""Account and Social Network Settings" - " Account Settings"

Then go into Data Files tab and click Add... Simple create a pst file

The Pst file you created will appear on your oultook. Go to the folders option and under the PST file you created, right click to create new folder. There will be a window appearing and then under "Folder Contains"you can select options for contacts, calendar.

I created one for contacts and another folder for calendar.

Copy and transferred all my contacts and calenders into the PST folder I have created.

Hope this helps.

Hi minggirlhome,

Thanks for the reply.  Because I am using Outlook 2011 I don't have "file" "Account and Social Network Settings".

Outlook 2011 is a Mac program and this is the iCloud on a PC forum.

Do you have a Mac or a PC.

The Nokia E71 synchronizes calendar and contacts via Blue tooth and / or USB between you Nokia E71 and your PC. The other services are quite outdated on this type of Phone. So I got an iPhone 4S and now it doesn't sync with the Apple iCloud and other Phones & iPad2 that I have!

Help us Apple

don't ask us to read an other encyclopedia of information and to do's, I have done it with your support staff for a whole morning and got no-where refer to quote:

It is very easy if you are willing to pay quite a lot for the third party software and have high level qualification and experience in IT.

Thanks everyone for posting all of these workarounds and ideas.  I gave up early and exported my Outlook calendar to my Google calendar.  That should hold for a while until I can try some of your Google sync ideas.  Has Apple or Microsoft mentioned anything about this yet?  This is ridiculous.

Likewise I gave up and now use my iPhone and Outlook as pocket and desk diaries that have to be manually synchronised like in the old days of paper based  information records before consumer IT took hold. Hey ho.

It is amazing how many arcane clone-like articles appear in the press anythime some tiny feature or slightly changed feature gets released, but when a key feature affecting a key phone and a key email program stops working, as documented in this thread, there is no coverage. 

It seems like journalists have become totally usefless in finding stuff people should know about.  They just respond to company-scheduled events such as product releases.

Why isn't there a news outlet that hunts through user forums to find stuff everyone should know about?  Are news outlets too dependent on the companies to criticize them?  Does journalism get too few good people to use them in this way?  Or are there good sites doing stuff like that and many of us don't know about them?

I think that the fact there is no comment on this problem either in technical computing media or the main stream press answers your questions. Perhaps as more users update to Office 2013 it will become news worthy in the general press, but for now industry omertà rules. My own earlier post was edited to remove one obvious personal solution. Let's see whether this post gets through if I suggest everyone switches from PC to Mac.

It got through, but Outlook doesn't exist (yet?) on Mac and when you legally own a lot of programs on a PC and don't want to ot can repurchase the full versions on a Mac, your idea is not a real option. The two Apple and Microsoft should offer a solution for both calendars. I would suggest an Email style reliable Calendar and contact message that you could send to all your different devices on a single update and open and import the update correctly. Theyx could even sell such a solution at a low cost and make money on It!!!

Yes it does, and it has for many years, please check your facts before posting.

Well since outlook exists and works on a Mac, why can't Microsoft and Apple get it to syncronize between the Mac and windows platforms? Why do the sales personnel in Apple stores say "Yes" it can syncronize between the Mac and Windows platforms?

Even the Genius Help desks via phone or visits with fixed rendez-vous can't solve the problem (see my references in earlier messages). This is obviously a stupid attitude and results from due one or both of their top policy maker decisions. Both companies and clients are loosing a lot of time and thus money out with such an approach where a mutual simple development ould resolve the problem on the iCloud.

Why do you think that Apple can modify Microsofts products?

Microsoft decided not to support iCloud on a Mac, one of their usual stupid decisions. Then you bought it to use with iCloud.

See the point?

You can use the sync system that Microsoft provide instead of iCloud, but you'll have to pay Microsoft some more money for it.

Wake up!

Microsoft already have licensing for iCloud, they use it with Outlook for Windows, they chose NOT to support it on a Mac. And you bought it?

How would it know what 'everyone' wants, or doesn't want. Is this to be a project for the NSA?

By "it" I meant a real news outlet with human journalists, not a robot.  But even a robot could find threads like this one and figure out that there was a problem that people needed to know about.

The problems the NSA deals with are of much greater complexity than this one.
