Syncing the Accelerator Phone Book and Calendar to the iPhone

The Accelerator Outlook Sync is an Add-In feature that will sync your Accelerator Contacts and Calendar from Accelerator to Outlook, and your Outlook Contacts and Calendar to Accelerator. While Accelerator does not currently sync directly to IOS, Accelerator does sync to Microsoft Outlook as does Apple's iCloud service. By installing iCloud and the Accelerator Outlook Sync, contact information on your iPhone, Outlook and Accelerator can stay in sync.

Important Information

Before getting started, there are some things you should be aware of. First, you need to own a copy of Microsoft Outlook and Outlook must remain opened on your PC. Closing Microsoft Outlook closes the iCloud and Accelerator Outlook Sync Add-Ins effectively stopping the sync. This means that if you turn off the PC that has your iCloud and Accelerator Add-In services configured within Outlook, the sync will not work.  Second, Baseline Data Systems cannot provide support for Apple products or services including but not limited to your iPhone and iCloud service or any other Apple device. If you are having problems with your iPhone, iCloud, or any other Apple product or service, please contact Apple support at https://www.apple.com/support. Finally, Baseline Support can only troubleshoot sync issues between Accelerator and Outlook, the Accelerator application has no direct link nor control over the contacts and calendar data that are syncing from Outlook to your iPhone via the iCloud service. Once again, support for your Apple product or service is provided by Apple Support.
