Syncing with the iPhone is tricky because Apple's trying to become more like RIMM so they can compete more effectively in the corporate market.
Is she syncing directly to her desktop Outlook at work by using iTunes installed on her PC, or is she using Exchange Activesync to connect to the corporate mailserver directly over the wireless network from her phone?

She is syncing wirelessly using Exchange to the corporate mailserver.One item of note is that we do not pay for the "Exchange" data plan. When we got the phones, we forgot to get her this plan. When we got home, she just entered the information into her email settings, and it all works fine. If I send her a meeting from my Outlook at work to her and she accepts it, it automatically makes its way into her iphone, it just won't make it to our home laptop. Which then means that I can't sync it into my iPhone.Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
The plan is definitely not the issue - telecoms are really, really good at money grabs, but this one is among the worst I know of. I know a lot of folks who get corporate email on their iPhones, but I don't know of any who pay for a corporate Exchange plan on their personal phones. I'm not really sure what that option does for you other than increase your bill.But what the Exchange connection on your wife's phone will do is completely wall off her contacts, email, and calendar items from being re-synced. This is something that Apple is doing to appeal to the corporate market so that they can compete more effectively with RIMM. Many companies are legally required to control your wireless access to email/contacts/calendar items. This is why the Blackberry has pretty much owned the corporate wireless market for years -- those devices have been built from the ground-up to allow for information control. Apple has to emulate this functionality in order to break into the corporate market. So the way they have done it is to keep all the information on your iPhone that arrives via Exchange ActiveSync segregated out so that it cannot be re-synced anywhere other than the Exchange server it came from. When you "back up" your phone via iTunes, the only email information that comes down are your server settings. If you use ActiveSync on your phone, none of the contacts or calendar items on your phone are backed up. About the only thing that does truly sync in that case are your apps, notes, and photos.If you want to keep your phone calendar in sync with hers, about the only way I can think of to do it is to have her install something like Google Calendar sync on her work desktop and perform a one-way sync of a Gmail calendar down to her Outlook calendar. Then you can set your iPhone to use that Gmail calendar rather than your desktop. She *definitely* does not want to set up a two-way sync between her Outlook and Gmail because then you would get *all* of her work appointments on your calendar. And if you delete any of the calendar entries from Gmail, they will be deleted from her corporate calendar, too. So that would be way more trouble than it's worth.

I'll second the Google Calendar option. Here's what I have...
I have a work calendar running on a corporate exchange server. They DO NOT support iphone configurations via the iPhone's calendar. I downloaded Google Calendar Sync, and run it on my work machine. Changes from my work calendar go to my google calendar. I then configured my iPhone to use google's exchange server (google for settings) to update the iPhone's default calendar. Works like a charm. Change somehting on my work computer calendar, it appears on the iPhone, and vice versa.
If you only want 1-way syncs, you can set things up that way. I'd also recommend that for your 1st sync, you set it up 1 way so that you don't risk having stuff disappear.

The 3.1 firmware seems to be working pretty smoothly. Looks like the coolest new features are the screen layout tool in iTunes 9 that lets you pre-configure your iPhone app icon layouts on your computer instead of moving them around on the iPhone screen, and the ability to issue voice commands from Bluetooth headsets.

I wish I could get this working. My work machine actually allows me to DL the google sync option, but then doesn't work with my Outlook version. I'm thinking I might have to try to get the updated Outlook on my machine.My Co used to allow me to grab everything to the exchange server....until some finance guy showed a VP how to add it, who used it in front of the CEO (who was told by I/S not to do it). The worst is not having the email, but the calendar function was really, really nice.

I was looking for a Fanball App as well.Best they can do for this year is a mobile optimized site I guess.

just need MFL to get one.... I'd pay 5 bux a year for it, 3 MFL leagues....I am anxious to upgrade Itunes and the phone, easier app management and cant wait to share songs easily across my PC, and the wife/family MAC and home theatre PC...Had no idea there was an app for Yahoo FFB.

Actually, it is the version. I have some goofy version like 10.xx.xx.something. I think this is some version of 2002. When I DL google sync, it says it only works with Outlook 2003 and 2007. So, I gave it a shot and DL'd the office 2007. It has no synced, but there are tons of appointments missing. All of today is there, but none of Monday or yesterday. This will be useless to me unless everything is in there. Not to mention, now I've got to understand how to work Outlook and Excel 2007 cause they are different. guess I know what I got going on this afternoon.I've got Outlook 2003, so I really doubt it's your version...I can't imagine it being older than mine.

Google on how to use google contacts and sync to your iphone contact list. It's easier to enter your contacts on a computer and then sync to your phone...plus if it ever happens again, you just resync. badger...that's strange that it got some but not all. Let it settle in and maybe it'll get all of them. I see no reason why it won't get some but not all of them...it either finds stuff or it doesn't. In theory at least. Office 2007 is SO much better once you get used to it. I use it at home and had it for my MBA program...and now that I'm working, my company has 2003. I want to shoot myself because some things are just SO much harder to do, especially in powerpoint. Excel changes, from what I can tell, are minimal.Alias said:

Hey guys, a friend of mine the other day she was sick of her iphone and never uses it so if I want it she'll give it to me. I am giving her an old nano as a swap so since I have t-mobile I will need to jailbreak it.
Any suggestions or hints on what I need to do? Any advice is appreciated.

Definitely and she was originally just going to give me the phone and nothing in return, she even said "Really?" when I offered my nano or to buy her a newer one since she mentioned the only reason she has kept her iphone was the music. She said her long fingernails doesn't mix with that type of phone. I would never buy one but for basically free why not. She bought it in March and says is the 3G model.After jailbreaking I heard it's actually better to have this phone that's unlocked because there are cool apps not approved by apple.Anyways any hints , short cuts, advice is appreciated.

Jailbreak is not available for OS 3.1 as of right now so you might want to go 3.0 and wait to move up like me until there is an updated redsn0w or ultrasn0wUPDATE: There is a working jailbreak for 3.1 called greenpois0n that will be available in the next couple of weeks. I imagine it will come out by the 25th when MMS becomes available.

I usually do a search for jailbreak 3.1 or something like that....or greenpois0n. It will spread like wildfire once the GUI is finished so it should be easy to find. Once you jailbreak your iphone, Cydia will be installed. That is how you get everything you want for your iphone. You can search or browse straight from your iphone.The advantages are awesome customization and access to a plethora of great apps that Apple doesn't like. Not to mention the ability to use it on another carrier.Disadvantages to me are having to re-jailbreak your iphone with each new major update, the potential to brick it (which has never happened to me), and having to explain to the masses what jailbreaking is.
I love my iphone the way I have it customized. Apple wants everything to be their way and that is unacceptable to me.

1. You can get pretty much everything in Cydia. I have a 3g and use Cycorder for video. There are also a whole bunch of music and video players that I prefer to iTunes (not that I use them a lot because I pull stream my music from home). I have a fun Fake Carrier that says "Osaurus" instead of AT&T and provides a percentage remaining battery usage (not native to 3G). Backgrounder lets you have multiple apps at the same time. Themes, backgrounds, sliders, etc...you can customize away. I just saw an app called ToneFx that lets you customize all the system tones (new text, calendar, new voicemail). There is also a program called Siphon that allows you to use a Google voice account (incoming) and a gizmo5 account (outgoing) to make free calls (works like Skype and its totally free). 2. I have heard of folks completely killing their iPhone trying to jailbreak it, but I don't know how they could not recover it. I have had issues jailbreaking and all I had to do was restore it in iTunes and start over. I guess the worst that could happen is that your phone is completely unrecoverable and it becomes a paperweight. I am thinking this is more of a myth these days. The phone's firmware really isn't that fragile IMO.I really love having an iPhone. I just don't like how generic it comes. There are lots of folks who are happy with it unjailbroken and that's fine. It's just not for me. I enjoy customization and have done it to pretty much every cell phone I've ever had.1.) Could you list & describe some apps that you like that Apple doesn't offer?

Thanks O. Now, the person I'm getting the phone from bought it in March. If there's anything wrong with it during the warranty does she need to take it back? Does Apple swap out your 3G for another one or try and fix it or are you screwed?

No idea. If you brick your phone, it's on you and I think the Apple folks would know (at least that is what I have heard). If it has its own problems like something physically breaking, then I think they will give you another iPhone, but it is usually refurbished. Haven't dealt with these issues personally, but there are posts in here to that effect. HTH.Thanks O. Now, the person I'm getting the phone from bought it in March.
