Reading Time: 4 minutes UPDATE: 4/11/16: I have removed old content on this post that no longer worked and replaced it with options that work as of today. I will do my best to keep this post updated as technology changes. Thanks for visiting! Note that this post refers to syncing Outlook for WINDOWS (all versions, as far as I can tell) with your iPhone. Microsoft offers (rather complicated) directions for syncing Outlook for Mac with iPhone. I can not speak to how well it works. These difficulties are a sample of the reason that I recommend AGAINST Outlook for Mac as a productivity solution.

For other suggestions of productivity tools for Mac users, see. I used Outlook to run my life for almost a decade, and the majority of the I do is still using Outlook as the support tool. I also show you in my how to adapt to Outlook my Empowered Productivity System for managing the details of your life and work. I think it is a very powerful PIM (personal information manager) that can easily handle the complexity of your life. The one shortcoming is if you need to share calendars or other information, it’s easiest if you are running an Exchange server and this doesn’t make sense for everyone. A question I get a lot is how to sync Outlook Tasks with iPhone.

The technology has changed since I originally wrote this post more than five years ago, and I will attempt to keep it updated with the latest information. Some of the comments below may deal with prior content that has since been removed. Also, these are instructions for those NOT using a corporate Exchange server. If you are using an Exchange server, your Outlook tasks should be appearing in the Reminders app on your iPhone. If you don’t like how that works, check out.

To sync Outlook Tasks with iPhone without an Exchange server is much harder than it should be. However, if you need to do this, I can offer you four suggestions: Akruto Sync, CompanionLink/DejaOffice, hosted Exchange for individuals, or MilkSync/Remember the Milk.

The first option is. It lets you automatically sync Outlook Tasks with iPhone via Wi-Fi or the Internet without storing your data in the cloud. Akruto tells me that you can establish a two-way sync no matter what version of Outlook you are using and what generation of iPhone or iPad you have. It works like your own Exchange server and provides syncing encrypted with SSL-certificate. AkrutoSync guides you step by step through the following one-time setup process:. Install AkrutoSync on your PC.

Choose the type of connection: WiFi or Internet. Install SSL certificate provided by AkrutoSync.

Configure your iPhone to work with given settings. (All the steps will be illustrated in AkrutoSync interface. The process takes about 2 minutes and 10 clicks.) After this one-time setup is done, you don’t have to press anything or connect any cables.

Your data remains in sync. Any changes you do to your Outlook Tasks will sync immediately to your phone and vice versa. Another choice is. The instructions for this are as follows: 1. Install CompanionLink on your PC. Install the free DejaOffice app on the iPhone. Configure CompanionLink to use DejaCloud as the sync method.

Select “Microsoft Outlook” as the database. Click the Sync button. You can automate the sync on a timer, as often as every 15 minutes. It seems to have all the features I recommend in an app, and my suggestion is to try this one first. A third option is that hosted Exchange for individuals is now available for a nominal fee, from Office365.com and also from other providers. This means that for a small monthly subscription (usually around $4-$5/month), you will no longer use the “local” version of Outlook that is installed on your PC, but instead have your Outlook hosted “in the Cloud,” which then allows you to select “Microsoft Exchange” when setting up a new account in “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” on iPhone. Your tasks should sync directly into the Reminders app on iPhone, but as I mentioned above, if you don’t like how that works, you can try a third-party app called IMExchange2 or TaskTask.

The last option is the, together with for syncing with Microsoft Office (note my reservations at the end of this paragraph.) These provide a two-way sync but only works with the Pro version of RTM, which as of this writing is $25/year. You can try MilkSync free for 15 days without a pro account. There are two BIG problems with RTM in my opinion. The first is that it does not offer alerts natively on your phone.

In other words, if you set an alert to remind you of a task, that alert does not show up in your notifications. You have to get it by text, email or instant messenger. Even more of a problem than that: you can’t customize alerts for each task. You have to set global alerts, so all of your tasks get alerts, or none of them do. This makes RTM a poor solution, but if those issues don’t bother you, the rest of the features should work fine for you. Please note that I am not affiliated with any of these companies in any way, and this technology seems to be ever-changing.

If you try any of these options, I would love to hear about your results! You can email me directly at maura(at)regainyourtime(dot)com.

I am trying to figure out the best way to sync iPhone 4 with Outlook 2003 Tasks and came upon your site recommending Toodledo.com plus an App of some kind (still debating which App is best). All seemed to be proceeding well until I went to install Chromatic Dragon from the link above. It said “The ToodledoSync application is no being longer supported. Please consider the following alternative products: Appigo Sync, Captera Organizer or GSyncit ” Not quite sure how to proceed.

Any suggestions anyone? The download from Chromatic Dragon is no longer available since both the main chromadrake.com is no longer valid and the mirror site for the download is gone. On the ToodleDo site there is a forum message mentioning a Outlook 2010 Addin OnlyToodleDo but it did not work at all. Downloaded TaskAngel which will synch between itself and the ToodleDo website which can be accessed by synching from the ToodleDo iphone app. After 12 years using BlackBerry’s we switched over to iPhones but certainly didn’t expect something we took for granted to be so hard. Any suggestions would be appreciated. When I got to step 5 for synchronization, I did not see the 2 options for synchronization methods.

It shows Toodledo service. There is an line for “switch services” which asks: connection information for your current sync service will be cleared” – not sure what this means so I stopped. I question if this means you can only sync wirelessly between iphone and Outlook directly and not through Toodledo? Is that correct? The need for the online tasks (toodledo) would be to sync with a second version of outlook (i.e.

Home and work). Seems like I’m not understanding something about this? I agree that this is more complicated that it should be and perhaps this is not what I need. I use an Outlook calendar on my iPad. The calendar seems to be part of my Hotmail account. I would like my wife to be able to view it on her iPhone and iPad. She uses gcal.

My calendar allows me to share by getting a link and sending it to her (supposedly), but when I try to view the link, I can only see part of it in the window and I can’t scroll horizontially in the window or copy all the link. Is there something I can do? I use EVO Collaborator for Outlook to synchronize my iCloud tasks between my iPhone and Outlook 2016 for Windows. This Outlook add-in is like one of the utility software mentioned in this article.

How Do I Sync My Iphone With Outlook 2011 For Mac Windows 10

Initially, I focused on syncing calendars and I was using iCloud Control Panel. Later on, I found that iCloud folders of contact, calendar and task cannot be used as Outlook default folder. This often gives me a headache that I have to always click into icloud folders before creating new entries. Maybe you can give it a try. I’ve been able to sync my Outlook 2016 tasks to the cloud (and to my iPhone Reminders app), and vice-versa, without needing an Exchange server – using iCloud and the iCloud desktop app for Windows. I am using Windows 7, which might be helping me – I’ve heard later releases of Windows have had more trouble with the iCloud desktop app – but it’s possible Apple has updated their iCloud app and it is working more smoothly with the most recent editions of Windows.

(It’s worth a shot!) Obviously first make sure you have your iCloud account (Apple account) set up, and make sure you can access all the Apple apps at (Mail, Calendar, Reminders, etc.). Then you download the iCloud desktop app and set it to sync ‘Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks’ during set-up. Once you’ve done that, iCloud will appear in Outlook 2016 as one of the accounts, and your iCloud Reminders will appear in Outlook Tasks under ‘iCloud’. The syncing works well for all basic Task functions, including: – Task / Reminder text – priority – scheduled reminders / notifications (You can.set. scheduled reminders in either Outlook or the iCloud / iOS Reminders app, and the notifications will work in the Apple apps – on the web or on your mobile device – but for some reason Outlook will not give notifications for tasks in the iCloud tasks list. If you’ve normally got your mobile device with you, this might not be a big deal.) The interfacing doesn’t work for the more detailed Outlook task functions, like assigning the tasks, etc., but if you’re just looking to categorize tasks into lists, set priorities, and set up notifications, this works just fine.

It is very useful 🙂.
