Syncing across iPhone, Google Cal, iCal, and Outlook

My personal computer is a Macbook 13" from 2007, running Leopard version 10.5.8
At work, I use a Dell using XP (for now- upgrading to Windows 7 in a couple weeks) and keep my schedule through Outlook.
I want to sync my Outlook, home iCal, and iPhone's iCal all together, each calendar displaying identical information. I want to be able to update and edit my calendar at work, at home, or on the go.
How can I accomplish this?
Thank you,
Kevin

Hmm, I think the reason it works for me is because I went the other way around. I subscribed to my Google calendar from iCal a long time ago, but not my iPhone. When OS 3.0 came out, the Google calendar in iCal got synced into my iPhone as a subscription automatically.
So, you'll likely need to subscribe to your Google calendar within iCal to have it in iCal, and there are very specific instructions how to do that on Google's Calendar support pages.
Once you do that and sync your iPhone, I'm guessing you might end up with a duplicate because of the subscription you've already created on your iPhone. I'm not sure it'll matter which one you delete, but I mention this possibility because I haven't tested out all the possibilities yet.

  • Need help syncing iCal and Outlook 2011 (for Mac) THANKS!

    QUESTION: How do I sync iCal and Outlook up again without duplicating any more events, and very importantly, without sending any more email invitations?
    I just bought an iPhone. I am trying to get my phone and my MacBook Pro synced up through iCloud.
    I realize that I need to have Outlook 2011 and iCal set up for syncing for this to work.
    I did this at one point, and it resulted in all of my ALL DAY appointments being duplicated in Outlook, iCal, and on the calendar on my phone - and iCloud sending out duplicate invitations to events.
    Then, I turned syncing between iCal and Outlook and deleted all of the duplicates in my Outlook.
    Of course, because I haven't set up Outlook to sync with iCal, iCal and my phone's calendar have not changed. There are still duplicates there.
    How do I sync them up again without duplicating any more events, and very importantly, without sending any more email invitations?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can be!
    Cheers!

    My iPhone 4 was working fine, synched with Outlook 2011 on my iMac 11.02 through iTunes. Calendar changes also appeared in iCal, even though I don't use iCal - I only use Outlook. Last week I was prompted to update Outlook, which I did successfully. Today, I plugged the iPhone into the iMac to synch and suddenly all Calendar and Contact items are gone from the iPhone and in iCal on the iMac. In iTunes, the option to synch with Outlook in the Info tab ("other") is greyed out. What happened? Why can't I synch the iPhone anymore with Outlook? All the Calendar and Contact info is still on the iMac in Outlook. Help!

  • Sync iCal and Outlook calendars?

    I use a Mac at home and on the road, but have to use a Win-XP at work. Is there a way to keep both sets of calendars on my iPod (iCal and Outlook)?

    Ok... so in that case, what is keeping track of changes to the files on the flashcard? When you plug it into the Mac after using it on the PC, what decides which files are newer and which files to move from the flashcard to the Mac, and which files to move from the Mac to the flashcard? What decides what to do when there is newer data on both?
    I suspect you are not actually syncing, but simply manually copying the data each time using the flashcard as the transport medium.
    No, I have two sync programs, one on the Mac, one on the PC, they sync their files to the flashcard.

    Have you tried configuring iTunes on both your home Mac and work PC to sync calendars to your iPod touch? If so, does it work or is data overwritten?
    That was my question, can it be done? I'm guessing, from what you are saying here, that iTunes should be able to handle it? I don't have iTunes on the PC, so I haven't tried it. Is the functionality the same as on the Mac?

  • IPod as a conduit to sync iCal and Outlook 2003 with each other?

    I am able to synchronize my work Outlook 2003 calendar and home Mac iCal with the iPod in two separate files on the iPod. I can see them both if I select "All". My questions are:
    1. What should I do to sync the PC and the Mac with the same file on the iPod?
    2. Is it possible to snychronize the iCal and Outlook with each other via the iPod?
    Thanks,

    If you mount your iPod on your Mac, navgate to the iPod Calendars folder and double-click on an ics file it will import the calendar into iCal. So you can sync from the PC to the iPod to iCal uni-directionally. If Outlook 2003 can import an ics file then you should be able to sync the other way as well. However, in both cases you will essentially be copying over one calendar with another, not really synchronizing.

    When you connect the iPhone to sync with the new computer,  a number of things will happen. If the new computer/iTunes does not contain any music, then yes, you will receive a prompt saying this iPhone is synced to another library, and if you continue, you will lose your music. However, you risk losing a number of other things, such as apps, contacts and calendar data. When you ask about photos, any photos that you have on the iPhone that were synced from the previous computer would also be lost. You need to save the photo folder from the old laptop and transfer that to the new desktop. You also need to sync the contacts and calendar to the same supported application that you were using in the past, such as Outlook, unless you are using an outside web-based sync, such as Google. Also, when you first connect the iPhone, it will make a backup, or at least make sure that it does before you attempt to sync, or you will not have a backup of some of the other things, such as mail settings, SMS, and the contents of the Camera Roll. I would import the photos from the camera roll to the new computer before trying to do anything else in iTunes.

    Can I use iCloud to transfer (sync) between iPhone 4G (OS 5) and a MBP runnibg 10.6.8?...or must I upgrade to 10.7? Most contacts are on my iPhone from my former WIN machine running Outlook.

    iOS 5 is for your iPhone. 10.7.2 or later, Lion, is for the computer. You can upgrade by clicking on the App Store icon in the Dock or Applications folder. Sign in with your Apple ID and password. Locate the Lion installer application. Purchase and download - $30.00.

Help I have no clue about technology!!!!!

    The official way to do it is to restore the iTunes library that was on your old computer to your new computer using the backup of your whole system you regularly update.  Then you are syncing the phone with the same old library.
    Some of the information below is summarized by turingtest2 in the post at https://discussions.apple.com/message/18842615
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    Did you check the box that says 'Synchronize Apps'? This happened to a friend and after she enabled this synchronization she was able to use her apps as she did before.

    Is this is a new iPhone that had never been synced with iTunes on any computer - the first time this iPhone was connected to iTunes on this computer which has been used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device?
    The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes on a computer that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device, or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    If you choose the former, the Camera Roll on the new iPhone is replaced with the Camera Roll contents included with the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device.
    Syncing with iTunes alone does not touch the iPhone's Camera Roll.
