I believe the problem is to do with certain types of recurring appointments not having an 'end date'. I really haven't got a clue what the icon with a person is (see above), but the problem appears to be related to that type of Recurring Meeting.
Anyway;
a) Note your current Outlook calendar view ; Select your Calendar, menu option -View-Arrange By-Current View-a tick will be against your current preference
b) Change your Calendar view to recurring appointments only; View-Arrange By-Current View-Recurring Appointments.
c) I'm not sure if Recurrence Range End is shown as default, if not, Right Click one of the column headings and select Field Chooser - Click on Recurrence Range End and drag it to the required position on the Column headings of the current view, eg drag it next to Subject or Location etc
d) Sort the view by icon ie click on the column heading showing the 'overturned page' should be the first column
e) scroll down until you see all the events that have the icon which has a 'person' on the left of the icon - mine is shown with black hair and a green arm with a grid behind and cyclic arrows (I have no idea what this signifies)
f) I am expecting that you will see some with no Recurrence Range End - if so, you should be able to edit these events by double clicking on each one in turn.
For each event, select Actions-Recurrence - this will open a dialogue box which will probably insert the Range of recurrence with No end date selected.
It should be simply a matter of selecting OK and accepting that any exceptions associated with this recurring appointment will be lost - basically, this means, if you have broken the pattern of one or more appointments, it will be lost (the main occurrence should be kept).
Select OK and save changes.
If the appointments have attendees you may be asked if they should be informed - as you are merely updating, I would suggest that they do not need to know.
g) Your Outlook calendar view should be changed back to your normal preference; Calendar-View-Arrange By-Current View-Day/Week/Month (as an example)
Once you have done this for all your events which do not have an End Date, I think you will be able to Sync as normal. I think you only need to do this for the type of event described above - ie the one with the 'person' icon.
Lets see if Apple work this out...
All the best ..as far as I know, I am the first to work it out ...you heard it here first.
Haven't even told my superiors yet
