Advice needed: Best Application to Sync with iPhone

I've been using Palm products for the last 10 years and plan to finally leave the sinking ship and going to an iPhone.
As some of you know, Palm has a wonderful desktop application that allows me to sync with my handheld easily and quickly.
Question: What do you think is the best tool to sync with my new iPhone to my desktop WITHOUT having to buy MobileMe? For reference, I have a MacBook running on 10.4.11.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Tracey

iTunes will sync most of what what you need: http://www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/#get-started.syncing-with-itunes
For anything else, get Air Sharing Pro: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=312686749&mt=8

Best Apps for Sync with iPhone

I work in a small consulting firm and we share our calendar and contacts. I currently use Mail and the Now Up to Date and Contacts with my MacBook Pro and iPhone. One glaring issue is that the NUDC v.5 does not sync with iCal and therefore I don't have my calendar on my iPhone. I've considered updating to one of: NowX, Daylite, Entourage 2008 (Mac ed.), or other apps that handle this kind of shared data management that can be sync'd among devices and users. I understand I could just use iCal but it's been recommended that we don't use it for a shared calendar and, personally, I think it's not a very good calendar app. Any suggestions on which app may work best in this environment?
Thanks.

You'll probably get a better response in one of the iPhone specific forums. iSync is for syncing to non-Apple phones, so visitors to this forum are less likely to have an iPhone and be able to offer advice on what apps sync with it.

No hassle best calendar to syc with Iphone 3gs

I have been using outlook calendar for a while, but i have not updated my phone os for a while due to the previous nightmare issues connected with syncing with iphone 3gs and outlook.
What is the best free easiest calendar application that syncs without any problems to use without messing my calendar up?

Issue with Calendar not syncing with iPhone 3g

Issue with Calendar not syncing with iPhone 3g.
Solution
Create backup of your entire mailbox before starting (THIS IS IMPORTANT)
Create offline folder (.pst file) Check windows help on how to do this for your version.
Open folders view on Outlook
Right click on Calendar in tree view and 'copy to' offline .pst folder
Go back to main calendar view and delete all entries in your calendar.
Create simple cal entry and sync test with iphone
If this works then start dragging cal entries back from the offline folder into the main calendar then sync after each step....
I moved events in this order
-Yearly recurrences (ie Birthdays)
- Monthly recurrences
- weekly recurrences
- Daily recurrences
All appointments from the beginning of this year >> to the end of time!
If all these sync then the issue is with an older cal item and you have to decide if you actually need these in you current calendar.
I chose to leave these in the offline cal and if i need access them from there.
If at any point the sync fails then you know you have a corrupt cal entry in the block you just transferred. Move the offending items back into the offline folder and try again in smaller chunks until you identify the offending items and delete them and manually recreate them in your real calendar.
Also smart to run the inbox (.pst /.ost ) repair tools for your OS/Outlook version.
Fixed so far
XP Pro / Outlook 2008
XP Pro /Outlook 2003

I just updated the firmware to iPhone 2.0.1 and the syncing works great both ways.

You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud. The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

I have upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS7. Now my podcasts I have added to ITunes and synced with iPhone do not open. When I touch the screen like in the old iOS6, nothing happens.

Hello irish3kr,
You may need to download and install the Podcasts app.

Thank you.

So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

Have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 Leopard. Can I just download 10.6.8 Snow Leopard as an upgrade so I can wifi sync with iPhone and iPad?

To expand on Niels post...
First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Specs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install the Snow Leopard Disc,
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
( It should be noted that Apple will send paid MobileMe members the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD for free.)

Hi Brett, thank you for answering!
I believe I have it set up to sync with iTunes, because for the first time today I plugged in my iPhone to my Macbook Pro and iTunes and iPhoto started up... I then saw "syncing with iPhone" on top of iTunes.
Is there a setting I need to configure (on either my iPhone or the programs themselves) to have it sync with my address book and calendar?

Itunes not syncing with iphone & apple tv not seeing itunes

Recently installed itunes 10.4, now itunes wont sync with iphone and apple TV 2 cannot see itunes on a wired network. The error message says Apple Mobile Device has not started - confirmed that apple mobile device did start. With upgraded itunes apple tv cannot see the itunes library on a wired or wireless network.
Reinstalled itunes several times now, and nothing changes. Using pc, windows vista, outlook 2007.
Any suggestions on how to fix these problems?

Sure it's selcted, it's just not being stored in my iPhone's iTunes library as its stored on my macbook's iTunes library. I've dragged it to where I want it and it still won't store. I havne't needed to connect them with a cable since late last year I think with the new iTunes and updates, and you shouldn't have to. But this is frustrating, I finally found a way to get Tool on iTunes and I can't get it stored on my iPhone.

ITunes 9.2.1 New Feature: Sync with iPhone 4 on-the-go?????

The following was the first of a few new features in iTunes 9.2.1:
"Sync with iPhone 4 to enjoy your favorite music, movies, TV shows, books and more on-the-go"
Can someone who owns an iPhone 4 and has updated to iTunes 9.2.1 explain what this feature is?

Hello, I have the same problem! (iTunes 9.0.1.8 iPhone 3G 3.1.2 (7D11) Windows7 64bit msi EX630 notebook)
My temporally solution is bit anoying but simple!
Everything is closed just iTunes is opened. System performance is set to max level.
So transfer Your music just 1 album at once!
So if You have 4albums to transfer just make it four times. If you transfer single tracks then make it just 8 or 10 songs at once.
I don't know why it works but it works for Me...!
ps: Apple need really fix this! It is annoying!
