I just spent two point five hours trying to simply get my contacts, calendars, and notes to appear on both my iphone and my macbook pro.

Can't be done.

Is there a version of Outlook, OS X, iTunes, iOS, etc. that WILL synch my Outlook calendars, contacts, and notes to iOS on an iPhone 5 running the latest OS?

I'm putting ten bucks on "No, but there is iCloud. You really should just surrender to iTunes. iCloud can manage everything. Have you clicked on "let iTunes F*qk my wife?" and  "Why not? It's already F*qked you. Click here to give up." REMINDER: You already bought into this conspiracy. It's in the ToS. Read the F----ing thing, won't you?"
