A way to sync tasks into one calendar on N8, appoi...

I am currently syncing appointments into one calendar and tasks into another, on my Nokia N8. Why do I do this? Skip about halfway down this post, for my rationale.
I'd like to know if there's an easier way to get this done.
I am using a Nokia N8 and syncing with Outlook 2007.
I have both Ovi Suite and Nokia PC Suite (7.1.30.9, which is one of the last versions that doesn't prohibit a connection with the N8). And, I've synced succesfully with both of them.
Nokia PC Sync is set to synchronize tasks and files/folders, but not appointments or contacts. I set it to sync an empty Calendar folder within Outlook. But, it syncs my normal Tasks folder. That way, Tasks go into a calendar on the N8 called "PC Sync."
Then, Ovi Suite synchronizes appointments and contacts, but not tasks or files/folders. I set it to sync an empty Tasks folder within Outlook, but it syncs my normal Calendar folder. Ovi Suite places the appointments into the default N8 calendar called "Personal"
Is there a way, preferrably using Ovi Sync, where I can place tasks into one calendar, on the N8, and Appointments into a different calendar?
Why do I do this? Nokia didn't provide a way to exclude tasks from any of the calendar views (but provided a task-only view - what were they thinking!?). This means the daily and weekly views are filled with tasks, all set ahead of the appointments. I cannot imagine why anyone would want that to constitute their default view of the calendar. Particularly since there is a view available, of only tasks.
By placing tasks in a separate calendar from appointments, I can pick and choose whether I want to see tasks with appointments, in the daily and weekly views.
Now, if only Symbian would be able to sync the categories associated with my tasks and appointments, in Outlook. . . But, I realize (even after years of hoping Nokia would introduce the concept of categories to its software) that you have to walk, before you can run.
I hope you have found this post to be entertaining. But, back to my original question: Is there any way to sync - using only one software solution on the PC, tasks into one of the Nokia N8's calendars and appointments into another?
Thanks for any ideas.

Here is the text of my feedback letter regarding Tasks...
Come on Apple! You have to be kidding me! I got caught up in the iPhone 3G euphoria and blindly ordered my 16GB Black about a week ago. (still waiting for it BTW) I had not purchased an iPhone Edge specifically because of its lack of Exchange connectivity. I have been "suffering" with an AT&T Tilt (HPC 8925, TyTn II) for the past year while I waited for Apple to "catch up" as it were.
Well, imagine my surprise a few minutes ago when I read that "Exchange ActiveSync Support" on the iPhone is not as capable as it is on a Windows Mobile device or even a Blackberry for that matter!
Look, any junior Exchange admin knows how important Public Folders are in the enterprise. There is absolutely no excuse for the lack of Public Folder support on the iPhone. This is a serious issue that will lose Apple and AT&T important high use, high revenue enterprise customers.
Then there is the issue of tasks. It has been my experience that many Exchange users utilize the Tasks feature extensively. I am dumbfounded that task support is missing from the iPhone.
Finally comes Notes. While it might not be used as much as Public Folders and Tasks, from the outside looking in it seems that integrating Exchange Notes would be a fairly simple endeavor.
PLEASE tell me and the rest of your customers (and potential customers) that support for Exchange Tasks, Notes, and Public Folders is in the works. We need something integrated just like mail, calendars, and contacts, not some patch-on workaround.
I and the rest of your users look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
eddiela

    is there a way of merging photos into one event on ipad mini without syncing from PC ?

    Unfortunately cutting and pasting doesn't work.  The margins are so different for each document as the first document is a standard report with the text centered on the page while the second document is in the form of a letter that is off center toward the right side of the page.  Cutting and pasting either one into the other (I've tried both ways) alters both documents in a way that causes the images, quotes, etc that are interspersed throughout each of them to show up in the wrong place (and they cannot be moved to the correct location due to the differences in margin. 
    They really need to simply be placed end to end rather than trying to combine them into one.  This is apparently a simple thing with Pages on the Mac itself but it does not appear to be as simple with the iPad app.  Thanks anyway for your help.

  • Multiple Exchange email accounts into one calendar?

    I've been looking for a definitive answer for this for awhile now and searches always leave something to be desired. Anyway, if a user has multple exchange accounts with different addresses, is there anyway to combine all of those accounts into one calendar?
    The addresses should be forwarding to the "main" one, but the issue comes when someone sends a calendar invite to the different account([email protected] instead of [email protected], for example), it will only show up on the email1 account even
    though it was forwarded to the email0 account. This is causing people to be double booked in our environment when one calendar shows free because someone looked at the wrong one. 
    To further piggyback that idea, is there anyway to turn OFF the calendar feature with an account so one can not even book it? 
    Most of the answers I have seen say this is NOT possible, and only way to "combine" is to overlay, which isn't the same thing at all. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Please refer to the link below:
    http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/158/p/20554/96392.aspx#96392
    Does that meet your scenario? If yes, disable users' access to the calendar in Outlook Web App by connecting to Exchange Online service and running the following command in PowerShell:
           Set-OwaMailboxPolicy OwaMailboxPolicy-Default -CalendarEnabled $false
    More information about using Windows PowerShell in Exchange Online, please refer to this link:

    sync is about synchronizing network calendars. Simply create a network calendar and synchronize it on multiple machines and forget local calendars.

    Upgrade to 10.7.5. See:
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

    Is there any way to sync my lotus notes calendar and contacts with the calendar and contacts on my MacBook Pro?

    You would need to have enabled iCloud on your MBP. Your question indicated you did not.
    Its serial number is useful for establishing ownership should the MBP be recovered. File a police report.

    Is it possible to publish multiple calendar categories into one calendar on my .Mac?

    David,
    welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I'm not sure if I understand correctly what you mean with "categories". Maybe you want to achieve what I described in "Publishing more than one calender" #1, 04:11pm Oct 19, 2005 CDT

  • There has GOT to be a way to sync Entourage on one mac with Entourage on...

    There has GOT to be a way to sync Entourage on one mac with Entourage on another mac! So far, the only way I can find to keep my mail synced on two macs using Entourage is to kill the Daemon on one machine and copy over the contents of the Microsoft directory to the other machine, but this is NOT a sync, it's a replacement. This will not work if email has been exchanged on both machines before the copy can be done. So what are we supposed to do? Thx for any help on this perplexing problem.
    coocoo

    Wait, I'm confused. Chronosync is just a fancy filecopy no? I think i tried it once moons ago just for folder syncing. it worked, but i did not see much advantage of that over just dragging the files. It still won't sync the individual emails right? (ie. add new, leave old alone). But u say using an imap server will help there? I don't even know what that is, but I guess I can install it on one of my macs right? Or do I have to pay to subscribe to one (like mac.com or whatever that thing is)? not an option here in Nepal. Well thanks for ur help so far!

  • I have two Apple IDs. Is there any way to consolidate them into one?

    I have two Apple iTunes accounts and didn't realize it for a while so some of the music I purchased is associated with one account and some music is associated with the other. I was wondering if there is any way to connect the two accounts and consolidate into one so that all my music is connected to one account and I don't have to manage the account separately?
    Thanks and I appreciate any input!

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • (1) Calendar sync. problem using Chapura 3.1.2: (2) Can I sync more that one calendar in Outlook?

    A few items do not sync onto my Visor Prism (Palm 4.0.1 OS) calendar from my desktop computer (XP) Outlook (version 2003).  It is listed as "Unknown Error (FFFF)" in the HotSync Log.  Using Chapura 3.1.2.  Any ideas???
    Also, can these versions be set to sync more than one Outlook calendar???
    Post relates to: Visor Prism

    I am uncertain if Chapura makes products that allow for syncing to multiple Outlook calendars that are compatible with a device as old as the Visor. Best if you inquire with them directly.

    You need an app for that. Apple's iMovie app (for iPhone and iPad) does that just fine, but there may be others.

  • Is there a way to sync my I pad calendar to my phone

    I would like to sync my I pad calendar with my galaxy mobile phone, so that I can view my I pad calendar on my galaxy phone?

    If you're just keeping a calendar on the iPad without syncing it to anything, then it can't be shared with anything else.  You need to sync your iPad to your computer using something like Outlook, and sync your phone to the same application -- or use an online calendar associated with an e-mail account (but not iCloud since the Galaxy can't link to that).
    Since you have a Galaxy I presume you have a GMail account?  Use GMail for your calendar, then your iPad and Galaxy can both sync their calendars to GMail (and thus to each other).

  • Every time i download a compilation cd or a rap cd where there is multiple rappers on any given song the entire cd gets split into individual files.Is there a way to put it into one singular file like all the other cds?

    Every time i download compilation cds each song saves sepertaly because each song is by a diferant artist. Is there a way to save it under 1 file like all the other cds?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • How do I put a scattered group of events into one calendar?

    I have perhaps 60 events scattered over the past 10 months that I would like to put into a single colored calendar.
    They are presently in the Home calendar.
    Is there a way to do this en bloc without having to assign each event seperately?
    I-Mac Mountain Lion 10.8.3

    No, Pages doens't have "shrink to fit". What I do is first cut down the margins to enlarge the text area a bit. If that doesn't do it, I Command-A to select all the text and start decreasing the text size a point at a time. When the last line pops onto the first page, you're done.

  • Syncing More Than One Calendar

    I would like to sync two different calendars using 2 different .mac accounts. I am a secretary working for 2 attorneys and need access to their calendars. Can I set up iSync to sync with each of their calendars and not have one replaced with the other? I would like to merge all the calendars on my computer so I can see both their schedules. Is this possible?

    Do you want to remove the hotmail account all together? If so you can delete it from either your carrier's BIS page, or from the personal email setup icon on your device.
    If you just want to remove the calendar try going to Options | Advanced Options | Service Book. Find your Hotmail account's CICAL service book and delete it
