As smart phones and tablets become popular as business tools, employees will naturally want to be able to access their email, contacts, and calendar on the go. Below, we break down step-by-step the process of syncing your iPhone or iPad with Outlook.

1. Begin by installing the latest version of iTunes for Windows onto your PC if it isn’t already. You can download iTunes from apple.com/itunes.
2. Once iTunes is open, select “Edit” and head over to “Preferences” to select the “Devices” option.
3. Check-mark the box that says, “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from Syncing automatically” to prevent iTunes from erasing all of your device’s data the first time it’s connected and press “OK.”
4. Connect your device to the computer via the USB iPhone connection cable. After a few seconds you should see your device show up on the left side of the iTunes window.
5. Select the name of your device under the Summary tab and click “Sync only checked songs and videos.”
6. Select the “Info” option at the top of the window and proceed in unchecking all boxes except the box that reads “Sync Calendars with.”
7. Select “Outlook” and read all other options thoroughly to be sure current contacts are not overwritten.
8. After saving your settings, select “Sync.”
9. Your Outlook/Exchange calendar should be syncing with your device!
