How To Sync iCal and Address Book in Windows 7

Hi.
I have using mobileme for years and now icloud. I have all my files in my idisk account and they work flawless in my macmini, iphone, etc
Now I have to work with a PC with Windows 7 at the office and need to get, edit and add apointments and contacts to the ical and addressbook I use on my mac.
Is there a way (or hopefully a program) I can use to sync my ical and addressbook information in WINDOWS 7?
Thanks for the support!
Regards,

Similar problem here,
I have a month-old archived version of my AddressBook, but today my entire rolodex vanished when the program froze and I force quit. I have a much more recent update on my ipod and have made significant additions/editions in the past month. Can I retrieve all that data from my iPod??
Help!

New phone does everything but sync iCal and Address Book

I have Leopard on my MacBook Pro; my new iPhone works fine - except for sync of iCal and Address Book. iTunes behaves as if it is syncing; but then there is nothing on the phone.
I've scanned the other sync-related messages, and nothing suggested there has helped (restarting both devices; clearing the iSync cache; etc.). I called Apple, and a nice young man walked me through many possibilities, ultimately suggesting I archive & reinstall Leopard. (He assured me it was like starting from scratch, and I'd have to reinstall my apps; of course that is not the case.) I did that; it didn't help.
Sync does work with a new user I created; but I can't figure out how to get my iCal and Address Book files over there.
Any suggestions appreciated!

Sorry, missed it in the previous post.
Couple of more items.
Export all contacts from address book. vcards would work.
Delete all contacts from address book.
Quit out of address book.
Open finder and go to your home directory/library/preferences.
Drag the com.apple.AddressBook.plist file to your desktop.
Open isync preferences and reset sync history.
Open address book back up and enter a test contact into address book.
Connect the iphone to the computer and try just syncing contacts replacing contacts on iphone.
If this works, import all your contacts back into address book and sync back to iphone.
Hope this helps.

How to restore iCal and Address Book from my iPod mini.

I used to back-up my iCal and Address Book to both my Nokia phone and my iPod mini twice a day. then over Christmas my laptop hard drive and my phone both broke within 2 days of each other. Ouch! My only copy of my addresses and diary are now on the iPod. I could spend days reading the data and type it into to computer manually, but there has to be a way to do it automatically. *Mustn't there?*

Syncing iCal and Address Book w/ my Treo 650 (Who overwrites who?)

I am able to sync both address book and ical with my treo 650.
My question is:
1. When I change a date or contact's info on my treo why does it not change that entry on my Mac? It adds a different one.
2. Each time I sync I get the message for both Address book and iCal that entries will be deleted or modified on my computer. The numbers are not consistent each time I sync. I usually have to cancel the sync because many entries (I'm not sure which ones) will be deleted. How do I tell iSync or Hotsync Manager that my Computer gets priority?
Sometimes I get the conflict window that asks which entries (iCal or Treo) should be kept.
Any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The synchronization framework should not behave as you describe. It appears that your truth database has become irreversibly corrupted, a condition which is easily corrected. Repeated cancellation of synchronization events likely has contributed to or amplified the underlying data corruption issue.
A couple of basics: all participants in this process, generally referred to as synchronization clients, are peers. They do not interact directly with each other, but rather through a process of pushing changes to and pulling changes from the truth database. You cannot set one to 'override' another, though you can reset both history [which empties the truth database, leaves your clients registered and your data intact, and results in a slow, initial synchronization during the next triggered event] and data—if using .Mac Sync—[which allows you to replace all contact, event and task records stored on your computer with those stored on the .Mac servers, or visa versa.]
The Conflict Manager is only invoked when iSync sees records with differences it cannot resolve at the field, rather than record, level. In such cases, it asks you to choose one record which most accurately represents the collection of data you want to keep for that contact, event or task.
To reset your synchronization history and prompt a complete restoration of your truth database, do this:
• launch iSync
• open the Preferences… dialog
• press the Reset Sync History… button
This Apple developer document explains how these process work, and may clarify some of these issues for you.

Cannot sync iCal and Address Book to iPod

I have an iBook and a 30g video iPod. I have plenty of contacts in my Apple address book and plenty of info in iCal, but when I try to load them onto my iPod, it says I must ADD contacts and calendars. It doesn't seem to recognize my contacts and my calendars. Help!!

I was told by iPod support to go to iTunes/preferences/iPod and I would see an option for contacts and calendar. I did not so they had me restore my iPod which removed all my contacts and calendar items that I had previously be able to sync. Now they say they are not authorized to help with this problem, so I'm left with no contacts or calendar items on my iPod. Does anyone have any suggestion as to how to sync these from my iMac G5 OS X 10.3.9 to my 2G iPod Nano?

Sync iCal and Address Book for free (using Google)

This works like a charm. It is really two-way sync, using google as an intermediary.
For Address Book: import your contacts from Address Book to Google Contacts, put them on My contacts list, set sync to Google on Address Book preferences, then set Google as your primary account on your phone's contacts app. Now, any new contacts or changes you make, on the phone or on the computer will sync. You can find more info here.
For iCal: enter your google info under accounts in iCal preferences, set up google as your primary calender on your phone. In iCal you will have to enter events under the google tab for them to be synced to google calendar and then to your phone. And of course, whatever entries or changes done here or there will sync. More info here.
What's nice about this is that you never have to go to google for anything, it's just the middle guy working in the background, invisible.
Could this really be "the missing sync"?

I don't know if you can do this with the Centro. I should have mention that I was talking about webOS (Pre and Pixi). To sync with webOS you need Mac OS 10.5 or later for iCal, and 10.6 for Address Book.

How to sync contacts and Address Book with New IPad?

Hello!
I'm having no luck syncing Contacts. I've set iCloud settings to sync Contacts, as shown in the iPad manual. I want to sync Contacts on my new iPad with Address Book (5.0.3) on my laptop (10.6.8) and with Address Book on my iMac (10.5.8).
I've had some success by 'manually' using iTunes on the iMac and the laptop (iTunes>Devices>iPad>Info button>Sync Contacts>All Contacts). But this is not pulling contacts from the iPad to the iMac or laptop; not syncing, just one-way traffic.
Thanks
Potty

You'll have to update to Mac OS X Lion.
It's in the requirements listed at the bottom of this page -> Apple - iCloud - Your info up to date on all your devices.

HOW TO TRANSFER FILES AND ADDRESS BOOK FROM WINDOWS PC 98 TO IMAC .

For addresses, general answer is to use Export function in your PC program and export in .csv (comma separated value) format. Then open Address Book app on new iMac and choose Import from File menu and locate the file you exported (on USB stick, or by email, for example). Should work! You've heard that before, right?

How to sync calendar and contact with Galaxy S2 and iCal and Address Book, how to sync calendar and contact with Galaxy S2 and iCal and Address Book

I have a Galaxy S2, gmail account, hotmail account and want to know the best way to be able to sync calendar and contacts from the Galaxy S2 with iCal and Address Book. I want to be able to make changes on any device and be able to sync the changes. Hotmail is my main email account and would prefer to use tha account but I know that the Galaxy prefers Google. Any ideas?

You have several ways to sync your phone to a mac.
You can use Samsung Kies for mac. You can download it here.
You can also use Google for it. Open Adress Book, click Adress Book on the left top of the screen, click Prefferences and open the Accounts tab. You'll see a "Synchronize with Google" checkbox, click it, enter you mail and password and you are good to go.
On iCal go to Preferences (top left, click iCal to see it), open the Accounts Tab, you'll see a blank list on the left, at the bottom of it there is a "+" sign, click on it and select Google on the Account Type dropdown list, enter your account details and you are done.
Third way to do it is by using third party software such as SyncMate.
Hope any of these alternatives solve your problem!
(The iCal and Address Book instructions are for Snow Leopard, but it should be almost the same on Lion)

How to connect a Razr to iCal and Address Book w/ bluetooth

How to connect a Razr to iCal and Address Book w/ bluetooth
Hello. I am going to post this in multiple forums because I searched but couldn't find anything on how to sync my Razr with Tiger's iCal and Address Book so this is the How To.
First, download the software Pacifist which can be found on www.versiontracker.com. After the download, put your Tiger DVD into the drive, open the packages in Pacifist, and do a search for iSync.app. Drag that app into your Applications folder. Go to www.versiontracker.com again, and download the iSync 2.1 update. Run that update, and after the restart, use the bluetooth setup to connect to your phone. After pairing, the bluetooth setup should say that you can sync your contacts and ical list. Go to your Applications folder and find iSync. Using this application, you can now adjust the settings for your iCal and Address Book apps.
Good luck!

How to export Date book and Address book from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book?

I have my calendar information and addresses stored in Palm Desktop date book and address book, respectively. I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everytime I try to export the date book or address book to my desktop using the vCal format, the Palm desktop crashes. My goal is to export all my data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book on the Apple OS (10.6.1). Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do this or do I just have to start from scratch and manually enter the data from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book? I looked at the Missing Sync software, but I don't think this will do the trick. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store didn't offer any solutions either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Post relates to: Palm V

Hello tay8000m and welcome to the Palm forums.
Have you tried running the "Repair Disk Permissions" command in Apple's Disk Utility application yet? Launch Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" from the left side of the window, and then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
After the utility has run, try launching Palm Desktop again and then exporting your data as vCard or iCal files. If the exports aren't working for you, you can always export the data as comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that into the Apple apps you want to use.

Syncing material from my iCal and Address Book to Exchange

My situation: I keep 90% of my life in iCal and Address book, because I love their overall integration. My assistant is a Windoze user and we have an exchange server at work.
I have both Exchange sync and MobileMe sync set up on my phone and both work well. That is, I have material from both my Mac (via MobileMe) and the Exchange server (via the iPhone) on the iPhone. Very cool.
However, entries from my iCal/Address Book do not appear to make its way through the "Cloud" to my account on the Exchange server, where my assistant could see them. This is a bummer, as I want her to be able to see when I'm free to meet, get my contacts' addresses, etc. But, I'm not willing to go over the Entourage full time because it dislike it strongly.
Any hints as to how to make this work?
Thanks.

Not much you can do then. There are rumors that Address Book and iCal will support ActiveSync in Snow Leopard but for now the only desktop based Exchange client for the Mac is Entourage.
If you set up Entourage to sync with AB/iCal you can just leave Entourage open in the background. It will sync with both the programs you like and the server.

ICal and Address Book no longer syncing with iPhone - HELP!

HELP!
I am a long time Apple user and rely heavily on my iPhone to keep me where I need to be, when I need to be there. I have an iPhone 4 and it is running OS 6.0.1. Everything was working fabulously until recently. Sadly I don't know when the problems started--when I updated to OS 6 OR when I updated iTunes to version 11. Either way, my iCal and Address Book no longer sync with my iPhone. And to add insult to injury, my phone is no longer automatically detecting the AT&T microcell I have in my house. I have to reboot my phone every time I come back in the house--talk about annoying.
I am not super techy, so I am hoping someone can help me with this. I LIVE by my iPhone and as a self-employed person, I can't afford for this device to stop giving me information. I also don't want to do entries on my phone AND computer everytime something changes. I do not want to go back to the more reliable paper calendar and address book.
I have iCloud turned on, and it appears to sync my address book with my iPhone. But I seem to be a mess with iCal and my desktop. And between iCal/Adress Book on my computer and iPhone, nothing is talking.
HELP!!!!

I think my company updated Exchange on Friday and since then I cannot sync with Mac Mail, Entourage does not seem to be working either?
Any fix found
