BB Bold 9700 :: Calendar Not Syncing Properly With Gmail
Aug 26, 2010
i have a gmail account and have synced my calendar, contacts and email. i have GOOGLE SYNC, which does it all for me (or so its supposed to).if i create a new appointment on my gmail calendar, it syncs perfectly to my bklackberry.However if i create an appointment on my bb it doesnt sync on the gmail.
I cannot get my Outlook calender to sync to my 9700. For some reason on my phone in the Calendar it's showing my Facebook and Gmail calendars but no Outlook. I have Desktop Manager set to sync my Outlook calendar so I'm confused.
I have the Bold 9700 with AT&T. I am running windows xp sp3 w/ MS Outlook 2007.Just recently my outlook calendar will not sync with my BB, I have tried all the reccomended settings and reset and resync'd til I'm blue in the face...I do not know what to do.An added note: I do publish my calendar to the internet via outlook...and recently retold it to update, and I have determined from that point on nothing has sync'd.
I've had the phone since January and spent about 15 hours searching and trying fixes but no luck so far. Everything else works great but it is incredibly frustrating and problematic not to have my calendar with me. Carrier: AT&T Model: Bold 9700 v5.0.0.405 (Platform 5.1.0.112)Apps: AT&T Navigator (1.7.0.1117), Pac-Man by namco (2.2.0) and Tetris (0.48.18)Memory Free Space: 114.8 MB Battery pull: no effect
I am using Outlook 2000 on windows XP. I am trying to synch my bb to the calendar only. However it does not come up wih the Outlook option to highlight. I have copied the screen below as an example. You can see Microsoft Outlook is an option here. However on my pc/bb it only offers me ASCII or Yahoo as an application option? Where am I going wrong?
My old phone - Samsung Omnia - had no problem synching with Outlook Calendar. Interestingly, if I tick the contacts box, it offers Outlook Express as an application?
I am trying to wirelessly sync from Blackberry Calender to Yahoo calander. I am able to bring up yahoo calender and when I go to options, the 'wirelesss synchronization' is set to 'No'. I can't seem to change that. Does anyone know if there is any other way/option that needs to be enabled? I can sync via Desktop Manager with yahoo, but need a way to sync wirelessly. Apparently Yahoo Go service provided that option but is no longer supported.
We have just upgraded a number of staff to Curve 9300 and using BES Express to sync with their Outlook accounts. We only have one problem!. Calender entries made in Outlook are synced, however entries made on the Backberry do not sync back to Outlook.
What is the best and easiest way to sync with your Gmail calendar? I've tried using MfE but all I seem to be able to do is sync my emails. My method for doing this is Menu > Email > Email > New > MfE . I'm assuming this is how to do it but there is also a Sync program within Menu > Ctrl Panel > Phone > Sync where you can create a new sync profile but I don't think this is it.
I have a website that is managed through Google, so my calendar and contacts and email are all through Google.
I want my iPhone 5s and Google contacts to be synced, so that when I add anything to my iPhone, it shows up in my Google contacts. Also, if I add to my Google contacts online, it shows on my iPhone. Very simple. Â
I have followed the standard instructions many times. It works, sometimes.
For example, right now there are a number of contacts on my iCloud account that are not appearing on my Google contacts. I don't know how to get everything to work together.Â
My Razr's calendar stopped syncing to my gmail calendars. Gmail account settings all say to sync everything. The only calendar offered for a new appointment is "phone storage. Only calendar that shows in Calendar settings is "phone storage".
I don't know if my thread title makes sense but basically what I would like to know is what are the advantages of downloading the Gmail app vs just setting up a Gmail account through my BIS (Email Settings/Add Account)? My main objective here is wireless contacts sync. I have read a lot of negative feedback regarding Gmail on a BlackBerry but I will not really even be using this for email all to often, although I will from time to time. What I have done is just added my new Gmail account through the native BlackBerry email setup and then downloaded Google Sync. I downloaded the Gmail app but I didn't really like the UI and I like to have all 3 of my email accounts go into the same folder.
When I try to sync my Blackberry's address book with my gmail contacts and calendar, it starts the synchronization service, the calendar synchronizes, the address book then says initializing, but hangs at 55% synchronization. I recently wiped the Blackberry clean and was setting up the email and synchronization options from scratch.
I have a BB bold and I have a corproeate e-mai laccount installed. I also added my personal gmail account. The major problems I am hacing are:
1. When I send an e-mail from a computer, that sent item does not show up on my BB.
2. and Secondly, but not as important, My BB wants to ALWAYS use folders for e-mails with the same subject. I DO NOT have it set to use folders, but it contineus to. I have tried changing the setting a few times, but the BB does not see mto care and continues to use folders.
i have re-installed the gmail account a few times, and it does not seem to matter for the 2 issues above. Note that I am NOT using m.google.com. My reason is that, just like my corproate account, I want my BB to tell me (a beep, a vibrate, etc - whatever the setting - mine to 2 vibrates) when I recieve an e-mail.
I got a new BB 9700 Bold yesterday and having problems with setting up the sync for the calendar and the contacts which are on my outlook. My hotmail email accounts are working okay. The outlook is on my PC and is the front face for my hotmail accounts.
When I go in to the BB Desktop device manager - version 5.0.1 (latest version) , I go in to the configure option on the left and it lets me click on calendar> then I select outlook and it then lets me select 'finish'. However at this stage an error box flashes up saying 'no available message stores'. In addition when I check the wifi config on the calendar and contacts icons on the BB device it will not let me select yes on the wireless connection for them.
My husband and I both have gmail accounts and our gmail calenders are connected to each other. He has an android phone and my calender is visible to him on his phone, but his calender is not visible on my phone. I have no problems viewing his calender on my computer.
I've been searching for quite some time now, but still can't seem to find a good solution for my problem. Currently i'm using my Blackberry calendar to keep me updated about my appointments. However, I would like to access this calendar on my Mac aswell, is there any way of doing this properly? I've tried the Ical --> Google Calendar --> Blackberry Calendar way, but it doesn't seem to work. If possible I would like to have the possiblity to sync this agenda from Blackberry to Mac and vice versa. Ow, by the way, I do not necessarily need the Blackberry calendar.
I have six email accounts and want to know if it is possible to move calendar entries to my default calendar from the other five. Well, I like my calendar to appear on my today screen but not just the default calendar entries, I want to truly capture my day on the today screen. With my limited BB knowledge I think this may be the easiest way to achieve what I am loooking for. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I am new to Blackberry and this site which is rather overwhelming! I have what is probably a simple question but I can't figure it out. I have a Blackberry Bold 9780 with Software version 6.0.2.44. I sync with Outlook (Office Professional 2010). The Blackberry sync mode seems to delete calender entries on Outlook after about a month. I like to retain the entries but I cannot find an option on the sync set-up that stops this.
My BB calendar sync over wireless stopped working, and I can't figure out how to get it back.I use BES and have V6 of the Desktop software installed with Outlook 2007 on my Windows XP laptop.When I now connect to the Desktop software, and go under "Organizer", I have 3 of 4 apps that say "syncing wirelessly" (MemoPad, Address Book, Tasks) but Calendar is ticked and shows "Microsoft Outlook". I have tried unchecking the box, but cannot figure out how to get it back to syncing wirelessly. an't find a setting on the BB to change it either.I can only sync it via Desktop software (which I now do at least daily, a big pain ...)All other apps are syncing wirelessly just fine: mail, contacts, etc.
Since I did the OS 5 upgrade, i've noticed 2 very annoying bugs, I have looked through the forum and see no other mention of it. I wonder if anyone else has too?
1) You get an SMS and open it, and can be writing a reply and suddenly the message you were seeing above your reply Disappears! You have to come up one level, then back in to see the message. 2) Even worse than above sometimes, when you try to view an SMS from the list of messages/recipients, you are unable to open the message, so you can only see the first few words the only way to get the thread open again is to start composing a new SMS to that person, and then when the write message field opens, you can see previous message above.
I must admit, my love for the 9700 has diminished because of this. My Curve 8900 didn't have these issues and I'm beginning to think the upgrade was not worth it.
I have a Blackberry Bold 9700 and from maybe one month ago I am not receiving gmail calender invites on the blackberry. So I end up going online into my gmail account and responding to the invites. The invitations or accepted notices or updates to invitations - nothing appears.
i am attempting to sync by Outlook Calendar with my BB Bold 9900 using BB Desktop Software V. 7.0 Bundle 2406.The address book sync's but the software stalls on my calendar Intellsync error, 'connector specific error'.
This is my third blackberry and I love them and will never change to any other smartphone. I tried an Android phone and it just doesn't compare to the stability and e-mail functionality of a Blackberry.
However recently my phone (a Bold 9700) has begun to experience some e-mail problems. I can receive emails just fine but I cannot for the life of me send an e-mail! I have deleted all my accounts and reentered all the info but I still cannot send any emails. I also can not set up a microsoft exchange account. It does not even give me the option. Please help! I need do be able to send emails for work purposes.
Just got the Bold from my employer. When I make calendar entries on my office computer they synch immediately to my Ipad and Iphone. However, I cannot get the same calendar entry to synch with the Bold. Emails and Contacts are not a problem and synch to all "units".
I have a 9790 and have set up my email accounts without a problem. However, I now want to upload and sync my calendar, contacts and notes from Microsoft Outlook.I have spent 30 minutes on the phone with O2 who don't have a clue how to do this and cannot escalate.
When I sync my BB Curve 9330 it wipes out appointments on my PC calendar from prior months. However, It does not remove the recurring appointments. I use these calendar entries as a record of my consulting hours/activities so I can't afford to have them wiped out. What can I do? I would be willing to use older software if this is a glitch in the new BB Curves!
Keep getting the "connector specific error" when syncing Calendar with the Desktop software (address book, memos and tasks work OK). My wireless syncing I turned off. I don't have an enterprise account. I have the latest desktop software (6.1.0.36). Device: BOLD 9900. Should note that I did not have this problem before when syncing. Only started about a month ago. Have different games, news applications such as Bloomberg, Address book cleaner, and battery booster.
My Photon 4 G does not sync calendar, contact, Gmail with my company Gmail account. I believe that it just stopped syncing last week and I believe that it was following a Motorola update, but cannot say for sure. Under Data Delivery, both Background Data and Data enabled are checked green. However, this is interesting because Email and corporate sync is grayed out on that screen. When I go to Account, checking the sync options is not possible, but I can do a manual sync. Please note, at one time, these options to sync Contacts, Gmail and Calendar were available. I've pulled the batter. I really do not want to reset to factory default. Suggestions? (Please note this is a company Gmail account, not just regular Gmail.)
