Any recommendations on productivity for database and project management, Bento was good but no longer sync with ical and address book

I've unfortunately updated to the new Bento on MakBook and iPad and synced my data and in the process it tells me that iCal and Address books will not sync any more.  I have several projects I am working on and looking for something that will syn with iCal, address book and Busy Cal to manage my  time efficiently and seamlessly. Help?

I think you're in the wrong forum - this is for developers, who write programs for apple products.
As for Bento, their problem is due to Apple's changes in the API.  The code that syncs with calendars and contacts is now deprecated, which means at some point in the future, it will no longer work.  This problem will affect all developers, so you probably won't find any replacement for Bento.

  • Outlook 2011 no longer syncing with iCal and contacts

    I have installed Yosemite recently on my Macbook Pro. I run MS Outlook 2011 for professional reasons. Until now, syncing with my Android phone worked (almost) fine, using a nice app called SyncMate. For a few days now (not sure it is linked to installing Yosemite though) new data on my outlook calendar and address book no longer appear on my phone after syncing. After checking I realized that Outlook is actually not syncing any more with iCal and Contacts, so of course the syncing with the phone cannot work. How can I resolve this ?

    facing the same problem, it was syncing prior to my upgrade to Lion. have you managed to find a solution?

  • Recommendations for a phone that will sync with iCal and Addressbook?

    I'm confused by the posts regarding what mobile phones will and won't sync with iCal and Addressbook. Apple has a list of isync compatible devices (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html), but it seems from some of the posts here as though phones not listed will also sync.
    Can those of you who know about cellular phones that sync with iCal and Addressbook please recommend some models for me. These are the things I need:
    -Cingular service compatibility
    -syncs with iCal (including to dos) and Addressbook (must store at least 1500 entries)
    -bluetooth
    -a small phone would be nice
    I don't care whether it has a camera, an mp3player, PTT, picture messaging, video, or voice activation. Wi-Fi would be nice, but it's not imperative. Also, please let me know if I would need to purchase any third-party software or hardware.
    Thank you.

    The supported device list contains a list of devices that Apple claims are explicitly compatible with iSync out of the box, subject to the limitations outlined in the footnotes at the bottom of the page [the ones that apparently almost no one ever reads] and the general rule that carriers may not support certain features [say, Bluetooth or USB] and may not support certain functions [say, calendar synchronization] with a supported device.
    Manufacturers like Audiovox, LG, Samsung and Sharp are not supported, unless they run an OS listed below, instead of their proprietary operating systems. If a device is not manufactured by Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, Seimens, Sendo or SONY Ericsson, it is generally not supported, unless it uses…
    • the Blackberry OS [which requires third-party software]
    • the danger HipTop OS [which requires third-party software]
    • the Palm OS [which is is supported but performs better with third-party software]
    • the Windows Mobile OS [which requires third-party software*]
    *Windows Mobile 5 device support is not yet available in release software.
    …or, an iSync-compatible plug-in has been written to extend support to a specific device or family of devices.
    Julian referred you to a site where he has made a number of plug-ins available for various mobile handsets. Nova Media also sells a low cost package of plug-ins providing support for various handsets.
    http://www.novamedia.de/sync/index.html
    Others have built single-use plug ins with various degrees of success, which you can find using tools like Google.
    The bottom line: if you are going to vary from the iSync Supported Device list, you have to do some relatively extensive research, including searching these forums for your specific device, to determine if it can be supported. Many plug-ins are intended only to work with iSync 2.2, so Mac OS X 10.4.6 is a requirement in most cases.

  • Looking for a good document on family syncing with iCloud and multiple iOS devices

    We have recently migrated off of Android devices for the whole family except for a Kindle Fire HD for my daughter.  We all have an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch type device that we want to sync our family calendars/reminders/notes to.  Is there a good document on how to setup this family environment so that our notes/reminders/appointments are all in sync on each other's device. That way we all know what each other is doing. Do we each have to have a separate Apple ID or do we all share the same Apple ID to make this syncing work.  I think I get how to make this work between my PC, 2 - iPhones (work and personal) and iCloud Web.  Now how do I layer on my other family members into my calendar digital Cloud?  HELP ME PLEASE.  I HAVE A DIGITAL MESS.
    Right now I have a personal Apple ID for my personal devices, new iPhone 6 Plus coming.  I have a separate Apple ID for my Work iPhone 4s.  My wife and kids have iPhone 5s.  Wife and son have an iPad.
    Please tell me I don't have to go see Rush Limbaugh to figure out how to make all this work.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    You could each have separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs, and also share a "family" account for syncing a family calendar, notes and reminders.  That will allow you to maintain still keep your contacts, and other data and photo streams separated while having access to the shared the family data in the secondary account.  It also gives everyone their own free 5GB of storage for their backups, etc.  The shared family calendar, notes and reminders will appear alongside your other calendars, notes and reminders in the corresponding apps on your devices.  You'll just need to be sure to select the correct account within these apps when entering data to ensure it is added to either your personal or the shared family account.
    To do this, create your primary accounts in the usual way, by going to Settings>iCloud and signing in with separate IDs and turn on the data sets you want to sync with iCloud.  Then create a secondary account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with a different ID and have everyone add this account to their devices as a shared family account.  You can sync mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders with the secondary account, although you may want to just turn on calendars, notes and reminders.
    You can continue to share the same iTunes store ID on all devices if you wish.  It does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.  Also, each person should use their own ID (such as the primary iCloud ID) for iMessage and FaceTime, otherwise you'll end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.
    If you don't want to do all of this, and are primarily concerned about sharing your calendars, you can do that as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a8694.
    Another option to consider is to look into the new Family Sharing feature of iOS 8 if all of your devices will support iOS 8: https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/.  The details on this haven't been released yet but should start to appear after it is released tomorrow.

  • Problems syncing with iCal and Treo 650

    I use iSync for syncing my iBook G4, .Mac, iPod Photo and Treo 650. It has worked fine until a month ago. The iSync conduit somehow works OK with the Contacts/Address Book, but doesn't for the Tasks and Calendar (iCal). It is a real pain the to write everything manually on the Treo and the iBook separately. Can anyone help me with this? I really don't want to replace (reset) all the info on my Treo; this will cause me to re-categorize everything in the Treo, for iSync doesn't take care of it as far as I know. Thanks, ~L
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    What does your HotSync log say about these unsuccessful attempts to synchronize your Treo 650?
    While it is important to correct this problem, if you want support for categories, calendar colors, contact photographs or icons, extended electronic mail addresses, URL and birthday data, you should ditch iSync in favor of the Missing Sync for Palm OS, a much more powerful and reliable program:
    http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php
    On advanced Palm organizers and smartphones like your Treo 650, extended support is available as outlined in this document, for contacts…
    http://www.markspace.com/support/kb.php?x=&mod_id=2&id=2560
    …and this document, for events and tasks:
    http://www.markspace.com/support/kb.php?x=&mod_id=2&id=2563
    In addition, it supports internet sharing, Finder mounting and file transfer with SD cards, conduit profiles, iPhoto and iTunes media file synchronization, the synchronization of AvantGo content, and network synchronization of supported devices.

  • Outlook 2011 for mac no longer syncs with calendar and contacts

    Hi all,
    Not sure whether the recent security update botched up my sync, but after recently upgrading to MS Office with Outlook 2011 for the Mac, my contacts and calendar items no longer sync.  I've applied the revised security patch to no avail.  In fact, I noticed that my contacts were no longer syncing prior to the security update, and in the last day or so, I have noticed that calendar items have ceased to sync.  I've tried all of the Microsoft and Apple knowledge-based recipes to correct the problem, but it persists.  I may be missing something, or performed the steps out of sequence, but I've tried them many times and I'm sure at least once was to the letter.
    The oddity is that the problem appears to be a broken link between iCal and Outlook via the sync process, which uses MobileMe and is administered through iTunes.  Perhaps someone has a straightforward instruction set to fix that link?
    Is anyone else having this problem of late?  I am on Snow Leopard, 10.6.8 on a 2011 MBP with MS Office 2011 and SP1 installed.
    Thanks much in advance for any helpful advice.

    Thanks Julian for the suggestion. Unfortunately all still checked out and nothing amiss. However, after reinstalling OS 10.6.8 it appears that my calendar items are syncing once again, but not my contacts. I appreciate the suggestion none the less.
    This same thing seems to happen each time I've upgraded Office with the associated version of Entourage, and now Outlook. Ah, well..nothing's ever simple. But I am thoroughly enjoying Outlook and the rest of the Office suite.

  • Upgraded Office for Mac 2011 to 14.1.4 and now Outlook will not sync with iCal and Contacts

    I have upgraded my iMac to Microsolf Office 2011 version 14.1.4 and now Outlook will not sync the calender contents and contacts to iCal and Address Book. Prior to the installation of 14.1.4 all worked well. Discovered the problem when I sync'ed my iPad and the addresses and calendar went missing. New entries to the calendar will sync. Help.

    Office is not an Apple product. You are much more likely to find a resultion in the MS forums:

  • I lost my sync with iCal and contacts on my iPhone 3GS when I upgraded to iCloud.  It worked just fine with Mobile Me.

    I upgraded to IOS5 and iCloud on my MacBook Pro after I upgraded my iMac to iCloud. I keep my phone in sync with my MacBook, but now my Contacts and iCal will not sync with my iPhone3GS.  What have I done wrong?

    I had the same problem and believe I figured it out.
    Calendars: In iTunes, with your iPod plugged in, go to the 'info' tab. De-select "Sync iCal Calendars". This fixed dupes, and did not erase any entries because MobileMe is keeping me updated.
    Contacts: Whether I select or deselect "Sync Address Book Contacts, I still get duplicate contacts, but only when I look at "All Contacts". Go to "Groups" in Contacts on your iPod and select either "All from My Mac" or "All MobileMe". You get a single copy of each contact. Give it a minute or two after syncing as it takes a bit for MobileMe to update everything. At first I had a different number of contacts in each list, but a couple minutes after syncing, both lists matched.
    Hope this helps...

  • Outlook no longer syncing with iPhone and Mac??

    I was formerly syncing Outlook with iPhone just fine on my Mac...now it's not working!!  I think I had to do something via iCal.  Whatever it was it's not working and need help ASAP!  (no need for iCloud and know that does not work!!!)

    I have the same problem too. My iphone is not syncing with my addressbook on the mac, no matter what I try, it is very very frustrating!!

  • Video ipod not syncing with ical and address book

    In iTunes preferences, under the tab for both calendar and contacts, when I attempt to check the "synchronize Address Book contacts", I get a window that says: No Contacts Available contact syncing cannot be enabled because there are no contacts available. Do you want to open Address Book and create contacts now? If I choose open address book, it opens my address book which has 564 contacts in it. The same thing is happening with ical.

    Weel, I finally discovered what the problem was. It seems to have occurred a mistake while syncing two computers with .mac. Apparently, instead of reinitializing all informations from one of them, they were simply erased and, while on one of the computers my calendars did appear (the one I was syncing the iPod, too), they were a sort of 'ghost' images. So I had to reinitialize again, and then tried to sync the iPod. Now the calendars are displayed correctly on both, and the sync preferences on iTunes are correct, too. Hope this can help somebody.

  • Why does iCal no longer sync with BusyCal (and vice/versa)?

    My Calender application is BusyCal.  I have Mac OS X 10.8.2. BusyCal is version 2.0.1. Until recently, when I entered something in BusyCal, the same information appeared in iCal. When I entered something on my iPhone in iCal, the same information appeared in BusyCal on my iMac. - Everything was perfect.
    This is no longer the case. I asked the BusyCal developpers. Here what they replied:
    "I'm sorry, but Apple deprecated Mac OS X Sync Services in 10.8, there is nothing BusyMac can do to work around this (in either 1.6 or 2.0)"
    Who can help? - Thanks!
    Peterfromwinterthur

    Fortunately I have found a solution and resolved the problem: i learned how to sync via iCloud:
    in iBooks i found the e-book "Take Control of Calender Syncing and Sharing With BusyCal".
    I followed the easy written instructions step by step. Now, with iCloud, BusyCal syncs again with iCal (Calender)! And the Calender information on my Calenders on my iPhone and my iPad are both up to date.
    I am happy and thank you all!

  • Palm sync with iCal and Address

    I have recently bought a new computer and since I have lost the installation CD of my Palm, I have down loaded the drivers from their web page. It seems to sync well, but it's not, because neither my contacts or my calendar are being synchronized! Does anyone have any idea of what's wrong? I have checked the preferences and got to no conclusion. What's the use of a Palm without synchronizing with our data?!
    Regards

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Reinstalling the Palm Desktop was a really bad idea. Although you believe it changed nothing, it actually changed everything. And, it could not possibly have corrected the original issue, which almost certainly does not involve the HotSync Manager or Transport Monitor, and could not have involved the remained of the Palm package at all.
    Palm device synchronization using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit will not work until you have address the issues which reinstalling it created, and the original issue which prevented the execution of a synchronization event.
    To correct this, you should first remove your Palm device from iSync.
    Then, apply this software package to update Mac OS X 10.4.9 for your PowerPC-based Macintosh:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1049comboupdateppc.html
    You must use this package to perform the update, as neither the smaller delta updater of the Software Update mechanism will perform the necessary changes to your configuration.
    Once you've done that, you should launch iSync 2.4 and use the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option under the Devices menu to once again add your Treo to iSync. It's probably better to initiate this process via USB, though if you elect to use Bluetooth instead, be sure that you pair your smartphone to your computer prior to attempting to add it to iSync.
    If you cannot add it as a device, stop and post the error messages you see rather than trying to address them. This process should be straightforward and simple but it often is not, and proceeding without understanding the impact of what you are doing may force you to start this procedure all over again.
