How do I Sync my Outlook 2010 calender to my Samsung S5 ?

[Robbiecat]

I have moved from Apple to the Smasung S5 but I can't sync my calendar. Does anyone know how to do this please?

If you mean Outlook on a PC you need the KIES 3 software from Samsung installed on the PC.
Kies | SUPPORT | SAMSUNG

You can pick what you want to sync. Watch out what you sync. The software 'sees' many Outlook files. You only want to sync the main one.

The software also lets you backup the phone.

The alternative I use--MyPhoneExplorer on the store:

I have been using Gsyncit for a few years....

Fieldston Software - gSyncit - Sync Outlook and Google Calendars, Contacts, Notes and Tasks

Kies 3 fails to sync calendar/schedule with outlook - I believe this is software error with latest update..
Tried to open a ticket via Samsung website but all links on the contact page are inactive!!!
Does anyone know what is going on?

I recommend AkrutoSync. When it comes to sync, the most important thing is your confidence in your data. I trust AkrutoSync to do a complete and accurate sync of contacts, calendar and tasks. Another important thing for me is that I do not want my sync software to dictate that I use specific apps on my phone to access my data. You can use AkrutSync with the standard apps that come with the phone, or if you like say some calendar widget or a phone dialier/contacts app, you can get that from Google Play. You are not limited by the sync software.

Google has a sync app to sync outlook and the Google calendar....I have had my set up this way for years and it syncs in real time. I have outlook 2007 on my desktop though.

Google Calendar Sync as a free app was discontinued some time back. If you already had it installed, as I did, it will continue to work but you cannot install it now and have it work. Also, it would only do calandar sync, not contacts or tasks.

If you have Windows 8, this isn't the case. Windows 8 broke the sync between Google's program and Outlook, which is a bummer, as that worked wonderfully for me.

For those of you experiencing problems syncing Galaxy S5 with Keis3, the following worked for me
In Keis3 go to tools - Preferences - Device
Ensure the check boxes for Contacts, Schedule & ToDo are ticked
Press initialise syncing log
Press OK to close the dialog box

Close the App then re-open..... Syncing should now work between Outlook and Keis3

I just received an email from Google indicating that calendar sync will no longer work.

"Important Announcement about Google Calendar Sync
Almost two years ago, we announced that we ended support for Google Calendar Sync. Starting on August 1, 2014, this app will no longer sync events between your Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
You can continue to access all of your Google Calendar events at calendar.google.com or on your mobile devices. Follow these instructions to uninstall Google Calendar Sync from your computer.

As a result I am now looking for a new app for my desktop to sync with Google Calendar and Contacts.

Walter,

Give CompanionLink a try. In addition to calendar, we support sync for Contacts, Tasks, and Categories/Groups. Our product is backed by phone support which really makes a difference when you just need to speak to someone to resolve things.

Plus one for the app MyPhoneExplorer Client. I have used this with two different phones now. It is free. It works very well. I love it.

Edit: It works with WiFI, with Bluetooth, and with USB. Very nice program.

I am currently using Google Calendar Sync and my computers and Android phone sync over the Internet.where ever I have a connection. I want to may sure my devices sync even if I am not at my office or home. Does CompanionLink work this way? And, if so does that require a subscription?

No subscription required; CompanionLink is available as a one-time purchase.

Your devices will sync to Google irrespective of your PC being on. They use whichever data connection is available.

If you wish to sync Outlook, of course, your PC will need to be on. CompanionLink runs in the background on your PC.

While testing can I continue to run Google Calendar Sync (until it goes away Aug. 1) and CompanionLink at the same time? And, how many devices can I install CompanionLink on?

Thanks!

Based on experience, I wouldn't recommend running two sync systems at the same time. That's asking for trouble.

One purchase of CompanionLink can be installed on 3 PCs that you own.

Paul,

We track all emails in our support system. I don't see any refund requests made by you. I'll consider your forum post here as a refund request. Your $49.95 has been refunded back to your original form of payment this morning.

That's really how easy it is to get a refund.

We also offer free phone support and would love to work with you to try to get your sync working. We've been in business since the early '90s and we've learned that it's not just about the $49.95 sale.
