Outlook can't sync (9.0 beta)
Outlook can't sync (9.0 beta)
Outlook 2010 has recently stopped syncing with Vue calendar. I have deleted my old calender and reinstalled it. Is the problem caused by enabling events as "memos" as opposed to "meetings" or having too many backups? I am using Vue calender Pro.

Re: Outlook can't sync (9.0 beta)
Hi ade1, the number of backups shouldn't affect Outlook syncing. Have you possibly renamed the calendar in either VueMinder or Outlook? The calendar folder in Outlook needs to have the same name as the calendar in VueMinder (under the Calendar Properties). Otherwise, VueMinder won't know which calendar in Outlook is supposed to be synced.
Another thing to try would be to delete the calendar in VueMinder and then use the "Add Outlook Calendar" command on the File menu to re-enable syncing.
As for syncing memos (notes?), VueMinder syncs with "Appointments", "Events", and "Meetings" that are defined in the Outlook calendar. I'm not sure how you add a memo to the calendar in Outlook, but I'm pretty sure VueMinder won't know how to sync with that data type. Do you have an add-on or something that allows memos/notes to be added to the Outlook calendar?

Outlook is not sync'ing at all. Removed and reinstalled, but no luck.

Can you try re-adding the Outlook calendar, using the "Add Outlook Calendar" command on the File menu? At the bottom of the window there will be an option to control the sync direction. Make sure it's set to "2-way".
Also, make sure the calendar name in VueMinder matches the calendar folder name in Outlook. It might be necessary to rename an existing calendar in VueMinder before using the "Add Outlook Calendar" command, if there's a name conflict.
Do the events appear after adding the calendar to VueMinder? Does subsequent syncing work properly? Were you seeing this problem before updating to the 9.0 beta?

I did all that and it was working fine with 8.4.1

I found oneof the problems - every time I tried to sync Vueminder created an identical calender in Google. once I got rid of all the duplicate caleders and re-entered the data, it leared up. But then it erased allthe data -Vueminder seems to lose track of the latest update - all 3 computers are set to internet time. After leaving the computers for an half hour, I reentered the data and it seems to be holding.
Two problems - Vueminders creates identical calenders for some reason and update seems to be need a gap between updates.

System is working again. Outlook created different calenders and when the names were made to match, everything seems to be working again. I did not realizethat the indivudual calenders in Outlook were sync'd indivudually.

Hi. Since I posted this query I have managed to come up with the same solution that you had. As for saving memos, these were events saved on my mobile and then transferred to the Vue calendar.
All is working now.
Thanks for the suggestions. Adrian
