Check Apple support forums for when they decide to add that ability - probably through licensing Microsoft activesync for their iPhone.

Suggestions?u FYI, I just spent several hours on the phone with Apple for variuos minor iPhone issues and one major one syncing with outlook 2003. The have done a great deal of testing with outlook as late since it is the most trouble reported to them and hear is what they have discovered so far. If you unpgraded from 2000 to 2003 windows does upgrade some file correctly, but if installing a new copy it work fines. The same goes if upgrading to 2007. Their suggestion is to uninstall outlook 2003 upgrade and do a reinstall with the install just looking at your previous version cd and when the install is done and you follow the instructions to add in the com add in it works fine. I'm just getting ready to try this and thought I would share this info. Hope this helps, JMW > It is up to Apple to provide a sync capability for the iPhone, not Microsoft.

Trying to sync my Outlook calendar to it without > ||| success. Suggestions?u Okay, so I tried this wonderful advice and boom! Nothing! It still do not work. So I kepted looking around for info and I finally found the answer to my question and it was so darn simple I screemed. Here is what I found: If you are still having a problem synchronizing the Outlook Contacts and Calendar to the iPhone, even with the latest version of iTunes (7.3.1.3), the following steps may help. I've found these steps are the fastest solution until Apple releases a fix; hopefully with the next editions of iTunes. Again, perform the following if, each time you try to synchronize your Contacts and Calendar from Outlook 2003 (or perhaps even Outlook 2007) to your iPhone nothing happens. A. Open iTunes B. Open Outlook 2003 C. In Outlook 2003... 1. Enter Tools -> Options 2. Select Other 3. Select Advanced Options 4. Select COM Add-Ins 5. Select Outlook iTunes Sync Addin 6. Click OK 7. Click COM Add-Ins again and verify "Outlook iTunes Sync Addin" is still selected; if it’s not selected perform these optional steps, however if it is selected skip these optional steps and move on to step 8. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Optional Steps – Only necessary to perform this if the "Outlook iTunes Sync Addin" does not remain selected after following the previous steps Still in Outlook 2003… a. Enter Help -> About Microsoft Office Outlook b. Enter Disabled Items c. Enable the "Addin: outlook itunes sync adding (outlooksyncclient.dll) d. Click Close e. Click OK f. Start at the beginning of these steps - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 8. Click OK 9. Click OK 10. Click OK 11. Leave Outlook 2003 open D. In iTunes… 1. Synchronize the iPhone 2. Everything selected should be synchronized. That should include Calendar and Contacts if those are selected. 3. You can then close or leave iTunes open; doesn't matter 4. Move on to the next set of steps. E. In Outlook 2003... 1. Enter Tools -> Options 2. Select Other 3. Select Advanced Options 4. Select COM Add-Ins 5. Un-Select Outlook iTunes Sync Addin 6. Click OK 7. Click OK 8. Click OK I hope this helps quite a lot of you. I beleive the iphone will come of age and be a very powerful tool. I also hope microsoft will take the upperhand and put this info on their site as I understand MS was blocking this script as general protection mechanism through script blocking (I believe). Anyway, I am now fully functional and go to sleep tonight noing I won't be missing apptointments due to sync issues. > FYI, I just spent several hours on the phone with Apple for variuos minor > iPhone issues and one major one syncing with outlook 2003.

Trying to sync my Outlook calendar to it without success. > Suggestions? I assume you downloaded the latest iTunes, and set the options to sync your Outlook calendar, and it didn't work, right? Since you are on this forum, I also assume Outlook is setup to access your Exchange account, right? Just a thought, does your PC recognize Outlook as being the default email program (i.e., does an Outlook message form popup when you click a mailto link on a webpage)? If the PC doesn't recognize Outlook as the primary email program, iTunes may not be looking to Outlook for data, esp. if you have another PIM application. For example, if you used to have a Treo and used Palm Desktop and Hotsync, iTunes may be looking at Palm Desktop for calendar info, not your Outlook calendar. In case you didn't know, iPhone will not (at this time, hey Apple!) wirelessly sync your calendar, contacts, etc. The only thing it can do with an Exchange server is give you email via IMAP. And that's only if your company's administrator has enabled everything on the Exchange server, the firewall, and possibly with the ISP. iPhone's only method to sync contacts, calendar and other PIM data is via a physical sync with your computer and iTunes (syncs like an iPod). Cheers! Chris Gardner Which version of Outlook are you using? > Got an iphone. Trying to sync my Outlook calendar to it without success. > Suggestions? Suggest you talk to the makers of the sync software for the iPhone. That would be Apple. SignatureMilly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.
