How to Resolve Issues When iPhone Calendar is Not Syncing With Outlook

Because you can’t carry your computer with you wherever you go, you probably want to synchronize Outlook with your iPhone calendar. There are several ways to sync your iPhone Calendar to Microsoft Outlook, including routing calendar entries through another service, like iTunes or iCloud.

Many people feel using iTunes is too tedious, can be complicated and take a lot of time. You must correctly configure iTunes to synchronize your iPhone with Outlook, and in some cases the calendar information in Outlook may overlap with the information in your iPhone, preventing it from syncing properly.

If you’ve noticed missing calendar entries (e.g., lost meetings), or duplicate calendar appointments, or if you’re simply searching for a non-cloud synchronization solution, you’re in the right place! With AkrutoSync, you can seamlessly sync Outlook calendar as well as your Outlook contacts, reminders and notes. AkrutoSync syncs all of your past, present and future appointments. Just follow these simple steps to enable your iPhone to sync with Microsoft Outlook calendar, without storing your private data in the Cloud.
