Help Wrong calender sync problem

norgreen

Lurker
Hi all.

Just bought a new HTC Desire S for wife and set it up for her, I have inadvertently linked her calender to mine somehow and cant find the setting to reverse this and as such she is getting reminders about all of my Golf & Football events not to mention a few others that I would rather keep to myself.

I use Gmail for my calender updates and sync to my iPhone

Question is, any idea how I have managed this, I have linked her Gmail account to the HTC but logged in to it via the PC and none of my calender entries appear there so it cant be that one.

I cant see any way of selecting calender options from the HTC or see what accounts it is linked to.

Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.

EDIT:
Just realised it must of picked it up from my Outlook account as I was logged in and my iPhone syncs to this, anyone know how I may reverse this and take our all of the calender entries in the HTC & stop it syncing with Outlook in future.

Thanks
 
The only way that I'm aware of to sync the Outlook calendar directly with the phone is via USB and the HTC Sync software.

(The other way is to sync Gmail with Outlook and then Gmail (which will then contain your Outlook calendar) with your phone. If you did this, then I don't know how to help, but the answer might be in the Google app you used to do this with.)

There's a 'soft' and 'complete' way of getting rid of the Outlook entries on the phone.

For the soft way, Calendar > Menu > Calendars > uncheck Pc Sync. This will hide but not delete all the Outlook entries on the phone's calendar. The Outlook data will still exist on your phone. Just check PC Sync and they will appear again.

The complete way is the only way I know of to actually delete the Outlook calendar data from the phone. However, it's a bit round the houses.

First, back-up the computer's Outlook calendar in Outlook, because you're going to wipe that particular data file.

Then use Tools > Instant Search > Advanced Find in Outlook to list all your calendar (Appointments and Meetings) entries and delete them all, leaving nothing in the calendar.

Now sync the phone with the blank calendar. This will delete all the previous Outlook entries on the phone. On the Desire S, remember to have PC Sync checked so you can verify this happens.

Turn off the Calendar Sync option in HTC Sync so it won't happen again!

Finally, import the backed-up Outlook calendar into Outlook.
