Well, Outlook syncs automatically with the iPhone and I thought Mobile Me did the same over the air.

So which part isn't syncing? There shouldn't be any workarounds required, assuming you have Outlook and Mobile Me.

Rip,

I agree.

On my wife's iPhone... she has outlook on her home computer. Outlook syncs to the "mobile me" cloud... and the iPhone also syncs to the cloud. Changes on any of them stay in sync. This works for email, contacts, and calendar. The only thing that does not sync are the notes and to-do lists.

Things get more difficult if your outlook is connected to an exchange server and if your corporate IT department chooses to not support the iPhone (very common at this time). In that case... you can still sync via USB. That is my personal setup... and when I dock my phone, my calendar and contacts sync. My corporate email does not sync (I think this is my choice). However... my "mobile me" meail get's delivered directly to my phone... and I also get an IMAP folder in outlook so I can access my "mobile me" calendar from within outlook.

Of course... both my wife and I can access our mobile me accounts on the web from any machine.

I'm having some inconsistency problems. The times on my iPhone all seem to be 3hours earlier than what they are in my MobileMe calendar and some of the changes made on my phone or MobileMe aren't making it back to outlook.

Is there a timezone setting I'm missing somewhere that's causing a 3 hour shift? TIA.

Click on "Settings" , "Mail/Contacts/Calendar", Time Zone support.

I believe if this is set to ON... you specifically specify the explicit time zone that you want your meetings to be displayed. If you set it to "off", then it should follow your phone as you move around.

Genius! Thanks I'd set that on my last trip out west and completely forgot about timezone setting there. Greatly appreciated!!

I have been using MobileMe flawlessly since it was introduced and the iPhone 3G was releasd on July 11, 2008. Everything was syncing perfectly with Outlook 2007 up until the past 2 weeks.

Now the calendar will not sync. I've tried resetting the calendar through MobileMe, I've even turned off the calendar in Mobile Me and tried to sync it through iTunes, but nothing happens. The only thing that has happened was the calendar on the iPhone has been wiped out and is now blank. Any suggestions?

can I sync with Yahoo calendar?
