Once everything is in Outlook, first, install AkrutoSync on your PC. You can download the latest version from this link: https://www.akruto.com/get-akruto-sync/

Once it is installed, click on Configure AkrutoSync, select the sync method that you want, and follow on-screen instructions to proceed with configuration.

For iOS devices, we would recommend configuring sync over internet.

Please feel free to contact us if you need any asistance.

Hi Aleksander,

Thank you for the update! We’re glad to know that it is now working for you.

Hi Alexsandra,

Thank you for your interest in AkrutoSync. AkrutoSync will sync your contacts, calendars, tasks and notes between Outlook on your PC and your devices. The normal setup is AkrutoSync is installed on a computer where Outlook is running, and then multiple “devices” can be configured to connect to this one computer. The “device” can be a phone or a tablet. You can sync with as many supported devices (Android, Windows Phone, iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod touch)) as you want.

AkrutoSync works in that everything that you have in Outlook will be copied to the phone on the first sync. When you set up your first sync, the data from Outlook will sync to the phone and now will be locked in the AkrutoSync account which will allow you to edit them on the phone or in Outlook. Nothing that already exists on the phone will sync back to Outlook on the first sync.

Yes, new contacts that you add on the phone will sync to Outlook (and vice versa) through AkrutoSync. Changes that you make to items that have synced to the phone and new items that you have added on the phone after configuring AkrutoSync will sync to Outlook. This is the same for changes and new items that you add/make in Outlook on the PC. v

You can try out the software by downloading the 7-day free trial here: https://www.akruto.com/get-akruto-sync/

Please feel free to contact us if you need any assistance.

Hi L.R. Jackson,

Thank you for your interest in AkrutoSync. I’m sorry about the issue PC issue you encountered. AkrutoSync works in that everything that you have in Outlook will be copied to the phone on the first sync. When you set up your first sync, the data from Outlook will sync to the phone and now will be locked in the AkrutoSync account which will allow you to edit them on the phone or in Outlook. Nothing that already exists on the phone will sync back to Outlook on the first sync.

What you can do is to first sync your data on the phone to iTunes. Most of the time, this is turned on by default. If your data is not yet synced to iCloud, turn on Contacts and Calendar sync in iCloud and update your device: Tap Settings > iCloud on your iPhone, and enable Contacts and Calendar sync.

Are your contacts and calendar already synced to iCloud?

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for choosing AkrutoSync! The normal setup is AkrutoSync is installed on a computer where Outlook is running, and then multiple “devices” can be configured to connect to this one computer. The “device” can be a phone or a tablet. You can sync with as many supported devices (Android, Windows Phone, iOS (iPhone/iPad/iPod touch)) as you want.

To add another device to sync with AkrutoSync, you will need to know the username and password that you have set when you first configured AkrutoSync. Please use the same username and password that you have used before so that you will not have to change any settings on the phone that has already been configured for AkrutoSync.

The user name is displayed in the AkrutoSync window, right before the “@” symbol within the email.
If you do not remember the password, click Configure AkrutoSync and select the Change password option.

Once you know the username and password, click Configure AkrutoSync and select the Configure again option. Ignore the warning about hard-resetting your device (because you are not adding the same device again). Follow on-screen instructions to add your new device. When asked to create a user name and a password, specify the same username and password that you noted above.

Once the account is added on the phone, Akruto should start sending your Outlook data to the device.

Do the same steps for adding another device. Please add one device at a time, and make sure that the first sync is completed before adding another device.

Hi Darren,

Thank you for choosing AkrutoSync. I’m sorry about the issue you are having. AkrutoSync synchronizes automatically for intervals of 15-35 minutes. If AkrutoSync is open and the phone is still connected to the same WiFi network (if you are configured to sync over home network) or to the internet (if configured to sync over internet) as the computer, then the sync will eventually push the changes.

As a workaround, please try to set a specific sync schedule on your iPhone. To set a scheduled sync on your iPhone:

1. From the Home screen, tap Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar
2. Tap Fetch New Data.
3. Tap the Push switch to turn Off. Note: Push is turned on when the switch is in the green position.
4. Select the Akruto account.
5. Select the schedule option then tap Back (located in the upper-left). Note: The schedule option is selected when a check mark is present.
6. Select the Fetch setting and choose from the options: Every 15 Minutes, Every 30 Minutes, Hourly, Manually (When you open the calendar/contact app)
