Best phone for Sync-ing with iCal?

I'm due to upgrade my mobile and wondered which is the best available handset for Sync-ing with a mac. At present I have the Sony Ericson K750i which was working fine up until I upgraded to Tiger.
Any ideas?

Has anybody had any experience syncing the Motorola
KRZR with iCal?
I own a Motorola KRZR K1m (Sprint), which is supposedly supported by iSync 2.4. This seems to be a troublesome phone in regard to compatibility with iSync. If you read the iSync discussions, you will see many problems. Those that do get iSync to accept the KRZR as "supported" seem to still have problems with iCal in particular. Evidently, there are some system hacks available to force the sync to work with iCal. If you are not comfortable with getting inside files and re-writing code, then you may not be a happy camper.
Naturally, if you have access to a Windows machine, you will have no problem. (... Getting ready to duck, since that last statement will draw out all the Apple apologists and Apple-employee-wannabes ...)
Personally, I have had no success getting iSync to recognize my KRZR at all. While I can transfer files via bluetooth, the iSync issues make me wish I had some other phone. In fact, the iSync/KRZR issues are probably going to lead me to change to another (known to be supported) phone. Since I'm stuck with Sprint, that won't be easy.
Good luck!

  • Best phone for syncing with Office for Mac 2008?

    I'll be getting a new phone in a few months and I want to get one that syncs perfectly and effortlessly with Office for Mac 2008.
    I currently use a Motorola Q and a Macbook Pro and have to go through isyncing Office with the Mac versions (iCal and Address Book) and then syncing using Missing Sync. It works, but it's slow and not very elegant.
    What's the smoothest solution?

    Just be careful if you use categories in Entourage for your mail, calendar and contacts and determine whether those categories will move with your contacts and other data to the iPhone when it syncs. I doubt that it will if sync services works the same way between Entourage and iCal because it doesn't support the category capabilities in Entourage which is why people had turned to Missing Sync for the 2004 version of MS Office 2004
    FWIW

  • What is the best way to have Mac setup for sync-ing 2 calendars?  Any way to change? When we 1st got our Macbook we unknowingly set it up wrong--as 2 separate users, with separate everything. Good for contacts and email, bad for calendar, photos, music.

  • HT1296 When I sync my iphone with Windows 7, the contact moves to my computer, but the contact is not complete. No phone numbers. What am I doing wrong? I have also tried sync-ing with Yahoo, and that doesn't work either.

    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.

  • Sync Outlook with iCal

    Hi,
    I use Outlook and id like to sync it with iCal so that i can use iCloud to keep my calendar updated on my iPhone 4. The thing is that when I create an event on Outlook I want it to fall into an iCloud calendar on iCal. How do I do this?

    Grateful TL,
    You will probably need to access your Exchange server via Entourage to get the Calendar. If you are running a recent update of Entourage, Entourage can sync to your iCal calendar using SyncServices. SyncServices are used in conjunction with iSync or iTunes to sync with devices. Resetting Sync History is often a good troubleshooting step to try with any syncing issues.
    As for your syncing with your Treo, that may be best asked in the iSync forum. However, generally it may work, but if it doesn't the iSync devices page suggests using other software.
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
    If you Treo is Palm OS based, you may be able to set it up like any other Palm OS device and sync. These article give instructions on setting it up to sync via USB or Bluetooth:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302120 (USB)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302227 (Bluetooth)
    If your Palm Treo was provided by Verizon, it may have come with syncing disabled, in favor of Verizon's over the air syncing service. This article explains how to enable syncing so that it can Sync via iSync and Palm Desktop:

  • Can't sync Outlook with iCal - but only when I activate iCloud

    I have seen discussions in the forums about problems syncing Outlook with iCal - however, that is not *exactly* my issue. I can sync them fine, until I put the resulting iCal calendar in iCloud. Then Outook (2011 for Mac) stops syncing with iCal (v. 5.0.3). I take it out of iCloud, it works. What I want to be able to do is: 1. Sync Outlook with iCal. 2. Sync iCal with my iPhone via iCloud.
    I used to manually sync my iPhone (4s) with my work computer (which apparently I could go back to doing if I change the settings in my iPhone?) and just update my work calendar to get it on my phone (my home calendar syncs fine, but it's not integrated with Outlook). I don't want to only use iCal, because I get a lot of Outlook invites for meetings.
    Is this a feature that's just not supported by Apple at this time? Do I need to upgrade my O/S? I'm using Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion).
    In short, I just want my Outlook calendar on my iPhone (ideally, without having to manually sync).

    What kind of iPad and iPhone are you working with.. and what Software version on (5.1.1) is the most recent..

  • I just wiped out my ENTIRE Entourage calendar syncing it with iCal.  Help!

    Hey there. I'm using Entourage 2004 and I foolishly decided to try syncing it with iCal using the Syncing pane in the Preferences Menu pictured below.
    When I opened iCal to have it sync there was a dialogue with three choices and I chose the one that would have seemed to do the least damage. I can't remember now. The problem is, it wiped out my ENTIRE Entourage calendar. I didn't find this out until now when I brought the computer out of sleep. The last 4.5 years are gone. Absolutely nothing is there and the Office Notifications doesn't even start up.
    Is there anyway to retrieve this at all? Can I rebuild the database or something? Anything? The kicker is iCal isn't even showing my dates from Entourage even though it started a new colour/calendar for it.
    Please help!

    if your phone is still turned on. for example......they overcharge you by $300 one month and just reduce the credit you will have with them. now 2 months before your contract is up, your credit is gone (because they overcharged). you still think you have $300 credit with them.....until they shut your phone off for not paying the bill. probably won't happen, but i just thought i'd throw a scenario out there, as it is very common to have disputes on cell phone bills.

    You create the playlist on the other computer which may require moving or copying of the media from the first computer to the second computer.

  • Best practice for sharing data with model window

    Hi team,
    what would the best practice for sharing data with a modal
    window be ? I use a modal window to display record details from a
    record list, but i am not quite sure how to access the data from
    the components in the main application in the modal window.
    Any hints would be welcome
    Best
    Frank

    Pass a reference to the parent into the modal popup. Then you
    can reference anything in the parent scope.
    I haven't done this i 2.0 yet so I can't give you code. I'll
    post if I do.
    Oh, also, you can reference the parent using parentDocument.
    So in the popup you could do:
    parentDocument.myPublicVariable = "whatever";

  • Best practices for apps integration with third party systems ?

    Hi all
    I would like to know if there is any document from oracle or from your own regarding best practices for apps integration with third party systems.
    For example, in particular, let's say we need customization in a given module(ex:payables) need to provide data to a third party system, consider following:
    outbound interface:
    1)should third party system should be given with direct access to oracle database to access a particular payments data information table/view to look for data ?
    2) should oracle create a file to third party system, so that it can read and do what it need to do?
    inbound:
    1) should third party should directly login and insert data into tables which holds response data?
    2) again, should third party create file and oralce apps will pick up for further processing?
    again, there could be lot of company specific scenarios like it has to be real time or not... etc...
    How does companies make sure third party systems are not directly dipping into other systems (oracle apps/others), so that it will follow certain integration best practices.
    how does enterprise architectute will play a role in this? can we apply SOA standards? should use request/reply using Tibco etc?
    Many oracle apps implementations customizations are more or less directly interacting with third party systems by including code to login into respective third party systems and vice versa.
    Let me your know if you have done differently and that would help oracle apps community.
    thanks
    rrb.

    you want to send idoc to third party system (NONSAP).
    what kind of system is it? can it handle http requests
    or
    can it handle webservice?
    which version of R/3 you are using?
    what is the mechanism the receiving system has, to receive data?
    Regards

  • Touchsmart IQ810 Calendar not sync'ing with Vista Calendar

    Noticed that my Touchsmart calendar is not sync'ing with the Vista calendar events. Read the calendar threads here but they are all referring to the 500 series from what I can see.
    Far as I am aware my Touchsmart software is uptodate. Rather the HP Advisor and it is not downloading anything new.
    Would appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks. 

    i wouldn't rely on the hp advisor alone, why not download the calender update yourself and install it on your pc.
    you can download it from this link, I'm assuming you have the iq810uk
