Default Outlook - iPhone merge

Hi Parlselygirl,

I had a more recent problem in that my iPhone sync to my Outlook calendar was creating duplicate entries in my iPhone, which meant iTunes was copying rather than truly syncing. The latter should make the two match, deleting extras.

I think the problem went away when I downloaded an upgrade to the iPhone software. I think the next sync through iTunes cured that problem.

The earlier problem I was having involved trying to keep two calendars on my PC, one for the office and one for home. When my colleagues initiated a new Skype or GoToMeeting conference call, the Outlook software would take the new meeting from the email notice and put it into "Calendar" but not on either "Home" or "Office." But I only I looked at the Home and Office calendars, so I started missing meetings until I closed out the Home and Office calendars, leaving only the main, default "Calendar" one, the main master "Calendar" that comes with MS Office.

I'm curious, however, that my iPhone reports three calendars on my phone. I always just use the one that shows on the phone's screen. In writing this, however, I got curious and tried to see what the other two calendars are. I clicked on the "Calendars" button upper left of the screen and it showed these calendars:

From my PC: Calendar
From iCloud:

All iCloud

Calendar [blue dot to the left, check mark to the right]
Home [green dot to the left]
Work [blue dot to the left]

Since only "Calendar" is checked and it appears to have come from my PC, all seems to be well. I don't know what the other two calendars are for nor where they came from but as long as they are not checked, I should not have to see them.
