Mine worked without restoring the firmware but it is worth the try. As you know iTunes will backup and restore all you settings and data (except music and videos) on the phone when you choose to restore the same phone synched previously. If you try let please let us know if this solves the problem.

I tried this. Restore worked nicely, but the problem with incomplete/inaccurate sync with outlook 2003 persists. No improvement.

It will sync from the iPhone to Outlook, but not from Outlook to iPhone the way it is supposed to be. I have been an IT provider for 15 years and know enough how to solve problems like this. Both Apple and Microsoft deny that there is a problem (the way they have both done for years), and then they come up with a solution just the same. Unfortunately, the solutions do not seem to work for everyone, therefore, the problem has still not been solved. While I love my iPhone, I continue to have a love/hate relationship with both Apple and Microsoft (don't we all!). I just can't wait for iTunes 7.3.2 to see what happens next.

I agree. Have Restored, updated iTunes to 7.3.1, wiped calendar completely, and EVEN traded for a NEW iPhone. The problem STILL persists.

I fully agree wit Gleen C....

I have tried any solution that I have been able to locate and still cannot sync my calendar .... the issue is with the Sync DLL .... the darn thing is buggy ... in the Apple iPhone forum I have read the Apple engineers are working on it ... I, too, am waiting for the next release of iTune to see if it fixes this issue.

If you've fixed the add-ins and still have issues, one thing that seems to have worked for me is this...

Go to Calendar Properties, make sure that for "When Posting to this folder" use "IPM.Appointment".

I've tried every suggestion that posters, Apple, and Microsoft has suggested to sync my Outlook 2007 Calendar to my iPhone but nothing worked. Thanks to one dedicated Microsoft employee that would not let this issue die until it was solved, I FINALLY was able to sync my Outlook 2007 Calendar to my iPhone. It was so easy it's incredible. I hope that it works for others that are having the same problem Good luck.
Locate the scanpst.exe file on your PC, then click on it to execute the file.

Type the path and file name of the .pst files
Note: The .PST files are always located in the C:\Documents and Settings\<user account>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\
(<user account> is the name of your windows account, C: is the system partition where the Operation System locate.)
Click Start.
NOTE: Enable the box of " Make backup of scanned file before repairing " if the PST file need to repair.

Then try to sync the iPhone again. Hopefully this works for you as well as it worked for me.

Not me... I'm thinking of returning my iPhone. I've given on syncing contacts - I'm now using "Windows Contacts," but as far as the calendar, the Apple plug-ins systematically crash Outlook 2007 so I had to disable them.

Has anyone heard any confirmation that Apple is taking this issue seriously?

This is Bad. I am hoping the PC Outlook syncing is resolved by the time I get my iPhone in a few months. Otherwise, it will be useless!

I know there are mostly people with Sync problems posting on this thread, but are there a lot of people who are experiencing NO problems with Outlook sync?

And, yes, it was.

Right-click on your calendar in your folder view and select properties. On the General tab, make sure IPM.Appointment is selected in the "When posting to this folder" drop-down list. (In my case, "My WebEx Integration" was selected.)

After I another sync, newly created appointments appeared on my iPhone.

Hope it helps!

Just to report some success in case other people find it helpful: I had the same problem as Elfride described and did what he described above and it worked. However, it only worked on new entries not existing ones.

So if you did the above and then did a sync and nothing appeared to change, try adding a new entry and doing another sync - you might find it has been sorted out.
