Best replacement apps for calendar, tasks, contacts???

I am migrating from a Palm handheld after 10 years of use and very eager to find a replacement for the built-in calendar, tasks, contacts apps. I'd like them to manage the data in a way that allows the databases to sync with mobileme appropriately. I use Entourage on my desktop and find the lack of integration between Apple's ical, contacts, tasks and notes to be a loss overall. Below would be some ideal features for each:
Calendar - allows day, week, month, year views and list view. When alarms popup, an easy way to remind me later or edit them. Adjustable fonts to see more on the screen than built in app.
Contacts - sort by different fields, adjustable fonts, preview of phone numbers with name so you don't have to open the item and pick a number from a secondary screen (I'm aware of favorites, but you can only add so many before it becomes unwieldy).
Tasks - hierarchical viewing, easy to change category and priority, side-by-side view of tasks in different categories (ie; work and home) would be nice, adjustable fonts.
I'm aware of a few basic calendar apps, smarttime and a program called lifebalance. Both of these seem interesting but not quite right. Any other suggestions?

There are none currently. There are several for tasks and notes. There are contacts enhancement apps. But Apple will not allow developers to access the built in calendar.
I still carry a Palm in addition to the iPhone because I won't give up Pimlico Software's DateBk6. It's now the ONLY app I use on the Palm, of the 60 that I formerly used; everything else is now functionally available on the iPhone. CE Stuert Dewar, author of DateBk6, is working on a new calendar app (Pimlical) that will run on any platform that supports Java, so Windows, full OS X, Linux, Android, Symbian, etc will all be supported. He is hesitant to develop for the iPhone because of the restrictions on developers. It would be good if Apple took notice, because CESD's former calendar products have sold over 3 million licensed copies.

    What is the best app for managing your contacts on Iphone5s (ios7)

    I have the same question, but I want to qualify it with a few things. First, Contacts works great, but I want to keep my business contacts and my personal contacts separate. I know you can separate them in Contacts, however, as an executive assistant I also have my bosses contacts and frankly they are a mess.
    I am looking for a separate app that I use just for work. I need to link 5 accounts to this app. 2 will be from Exchange and 3 will be from Gmail. As a bonus I would be thrilled if the app could merge profiles and link to facebook, twitter, and linkedin. Any advice?

  • Using iCloud (for calendar and contacts) AND MobileMe for Keychain

    Does anyone who's migrated to iCloud know if it's possible to sync Address Book and Calendar through iCloud and the Keychain through MobileMe (on a separate account)?
    Situation is as follows:
    I have two accounts - one MobileMe (which I use today for calendar and contact syncing) and an Apple ID (which I used for iTunes)
    I wish to convert the iTunes account to an iCloud account
    That leaves me with my un-converted MobileMe which I'd like to continue to use for Keychain syncing until Apple puts that functionality in iCloud or they retire MobileMe.
    I guess - the nub of the question is - is it still possible to access the MobileMe preference pane and put in a different account when iCloud is up and syncing?
    Thanks in advance, Jonathan.

    SaltSeaShark,
    I've looked at the iDisk and there's no way to do it automatically.  However when you're back at your home iMac, you can copy the files that you find in ~/Library/Keychains onto your iDisk.  Then when you're at your friend's iMac, you can copy the *.keychain files in your iDisk to the ~/Library/Keychain folder on your friend's machine (in the account that you're using).
    That way - you can open your keychain locally - although it won't sync backwards and forwards.  An alternative is to use a third-party product such as 1Password - of which there's an iPad app - as well as a web interface (when combined with Dropbox).
    Hope that helps - Jonathan.

  • New version of iTunes,,,,,,all I see now is music option, no apps, no calendar, no contacts. is this the way it is supposed to look now?

    new version of iTunes,,,,,,all I see now is music option, no apps, no calendar, no contacts. is this the way it is supposed to look now?

    I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
    You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
    Ctrl+B to turn on the menu bar
    Ctrl+S to turn on the sidebar
    Ctrl+/ to turn on the status bar
    Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
    Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
    Should you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

    Flash Player 11, but you have to sideload if you lost it.

    Adobe stopped support a while ago for it.  They are replacing Flash Player with Air.  WatchESPN for example uses Air.

  • What's the best thesaurus app for iPhone 4S?

    I'm looking for the best thesaurus app for my new iPhone 4S.
    The best I've seen listed to so far is the Oxford English version for $24.99 Canadian. All the rest are Roget II or those A-Z thesauri which I've never liked.
    I prefer the Roger's International Thesaurus (remember in school that yellow paperback thesaurus with the kangaroo on the front?) which has all the words divided by subject in the front, and all the words listed alphabetically in the back, subdivided by meaning, and have a number listed as to where it is in the front (ie GREEN noun greenness 44.1 verdigris 44.3 lawn 310.7 adjective inexperienced 414.17 new 841.7 etc etc etc).
    I would like to find an app version of that (320,000 words and phrases in 1072 categories according to the back of the book) or the closest version.
    Is there such a thing or is the Oxford English version the closest I will come to it? I consider this one of the most important apps I will put on my phone. Even more important than Facebook. haha

    depends
    some people dock to
    sync with their computer
    some to charge
    some to use audio out
    the answer to your question really comes down to what you are trying to do

  • What is the best GPS app for an iPhone 4s?

    What is the best GPS app for an iPhone 4s?

    There are several things to consider.  For instance many GPS apps download maps on the fly.  If you don't have an unlimited cellular data plan this can use a lot of your data allotment.  Other apps like Tom Tom and CoPilot Live save all the maps on the device.  The maps will take up a lot of memory on your iPhone.  I use CoPilot Live Premium and the maps take up about 2GB of memory. 
    Then there is a matter of cost.  Most apps that download maps on the fly are free or a very low cost.  The ones that store the maps on the iPhone generally cost more.
    I use Copilot Live Premium HD US because it gives me all the features I need for a relatively low cost, about $20 USD.
