Calendar entries don't show

[Jeffrey Kaplan]

Using Outlook '07 in XP Pro.

When I enter a new calendar item on my iPhone and then sync, the new
entry will show in "Outlook Today" when "Today" is within the display
range for "Outlook Today", but it doesn't show in the actual calendar.
I view my calendar in the "Day/Week/Month" view.

Contacts entered on the iPhone show up in the address book in the
"Unfiled" category.

Based on this, I'm guessing that the Day/Week/Month view of the
calendar is hiding "unfiled" items. Sure enough, if I change the view
to "By Category", I can now see them in the "Categories: [none]" list.

Back in the Day/Week/Month view, I'm checking for view filters but
cannot find anything set to hide uncategorized entries. I'm looking in
"Define Views..." and selecting "Day/Week/Month". The Filter... button
says "Off" next to it. Group By and Sort... are both grayed out.

What have I missed to get them to show?

MVPs, don't fob this off on Apple as the data IS getting into Outlook,
Outlook just isn't showing it to me in the calendar.

And for the record, events created in Outlook show properly on the
iPhone.

Update: If I dig such an event out of that list and give it a
category, it's moved to that Category's list, but it still doesn't show
up in the main Day/Week/Month view.

I've tried for both past and future events.

Can't admit to ever seeing something quite like this, but one thing does come
to mind:
Are the appointments being created on the iPhone as private appointments and
outlook is somehow set to not show these?
Go into the category view you mentioned, open the appointment, and see what
settings are on it.
Just an idea?

The Private icon/button is not "lit". The iPhone's calendar is not
that sophisticated anyway.

Known problem and documented here hundreds of times in the last week or two.

I searched this newsgroup. I called Apple and the iPhone tech claimed
no knowledge of the problem.

It's hard to search elsewhere when you're unsure how to word it.

The bit about event recurrence on the iPhone seems to have done the
trick, thank you.

FYI, the bit about reverting to an older version of iTunes is not an
option for iPhone 2.0 (iPhone 3G or upgraded older ones) users. iPhone
2.0 software requires iTunes 7.7 or higher due to the App Store
feature. I have just sent the Slipstick.com people feedback on that.

I spend an hour on the phone with Apple support and they wouldn't even acknowledge this was a problem. They had me reload the Apple and iTunes software on my PC. Big waste of time.

How can the Apple Help Desk not know about this problem????
