Can you: Sync Calendar, Contacts, & Tasks over the internet?

Hey!
We have a iMac and love it. I am primarily a PC user at work and am used to a windows mobile device that syncs Contacts, Calendar, & tasks over the internet.
As stated we have the iMac. I also have the .Mac account which currently publishes our calendar to a read only web site.
Here's the Q's I have as a perspective buyer:
Can the iPhone sync up with the calendar on my Mac?
Can the iPhone sync up contacts with my Mac?
Can the iPhone sync up tasks with my Mac?
*When I use the term "sync" I mean that if I update something on the mac, it shows up automatically on thie iPhone and when I enter an item into the iPhone it shows up on the Mac.*

No. The iPhone does not support any Over the Air (OTA) syncing at this time. With the 2.0 release in June the iPhone will support OTA syncing with Exchange servers.

Is it possible to Have a Catalog sync across Two computers over the internet?

Is it possible to Have a Elements 12 Catalog sync across Two computers over the internet? I have a laptop I use in the Field when I take pictures and a Desktop at my house that I use to Edit the Photos. I would like the Catalog Synced across both computers. IE I download pictures from the Camera onto the laptop and they automatically sync over to the desktop then when I edit the pictures on the Desktop they go back to the laptop.
Is this possible?
What would I need to have it work?

You could put the pictures in the field on your laptop
Send them to Dropbox from your laptop
At home, when you are on the desktop, access the pictures from Dropbox and put them in a folder of choice
Enhance the pictures in PSE, then send them to a destination folder, to preclude overwriting the orginals
Populate the organizer from the destination folder
This requires that you install Dropbox (free, with quite a bit of storage) on both machines. I have the app on my ipad as well, and it synchs perfectly (no catalog, however).
One advantage to this type of work-flow would be that you can get rid of the non-keepers and save the pictures that you fixed at home, prior to any organizer machinations. The old axiom: It's a virtue to be selective.

Can you sync calendar and contacts over the air to...

I'm considering getting an E71 or E63, but apart from email I really want to be able to sync calendar (and contacts)over the air, not just from to/from Outlook on my PC - is this possible ? It's not really explained clearly in any of the specs and doco I've been reading.
Also, if I receive a calendar invitation as email, will it appear on the Nokia and can I accept it, and is it written to the calendar locally and at the POP server, or is this kind of behaviour only supported by Windows Mobile devices?

POP (post-office protocol) is only for email retrieval (and SMTP, simple message transfer protocol, for sending).
If you want to sync calendar/contacts, then it is done over SyncML (synchronization markup language).
Also "proprietary" synchronization protocols, like Microsoft's ActiveSync allows message/contacts/calendar/tasks synchronization.
Nokia supports ActiveSync over-the-air through the Mail for Exchange software.

Can't sync calendar and tasks

There is still no response on my last topic (/t5/Nokia-Ovi-Suite/can-t-sync-contacts-with-OVI-Suite/td-p/735488) - i still can't syncronize my contacts
Now there is something new - right now I can't sync my calendar and tasks, sms messages and photos. After a litle time I've got message "Couldn't be sync" and I can't see anything in options dialog (see attached screenshot "ovi_suite_calandar_and_tasks.JPG')
So right now I can't syncronize anything with my phone (more then one month I can't sync my contacts and around a week I can't sync all the rest). I've already tried to reinstall Ovi Suite - no result.
I am using:
Nokia 5800 firmware 51
Ovi Suite 2.2.0.245
MS Outlook 2003 (11.8325.8324) SP3
I am using my phone for work and on of my requirement when I were choosing Nokia were ability to sync everything with Outlook.
Right know I am really dissapointed and I am not sure that my next phone will be Nokia...

Can you sync calendar to pc outlook and music to mac

I sync my iPhone at work to my calendar in Outlook on a PC. I want to get my music from my Imac at home onto the phone. When I connect iPhone to the imac and say I want to sync my music, the message says it will erase any other libraries on the phone, does this mean music libraries or will it mess with my calendar, contacts etc.

hello,
you can cannot sync the outlook and palm desktop at the time
you can actually sync to outlook and set the contacts to "do nothing"
then sync back to palm desktop and set any conduits to "do nothing" if you dont want them to be transfered
how to change conduit?
open the palm desktop and on the left portion click on 'hotsync' and go to 'custom'
highlight the conduit you want to change like 'calendar' or 'calendar outlook' then click on 'change'
then choose the action you want
hope this will help you

Can't sync calendar, contacts, etc. in Outlook 2007

I just got a new computer and I can't figure out how to get it to sync my calendar and contacts to Outlook. I have my Outlook configured to send and receive my Yahoo mail. It was working fine until I download the Desktop Manager software. At that point, I could no longer send or receive email, so I uninstalled it. Can someone help me figure out how to sync the rest of my applications without killing my email?
Thanks, Katherine

The following steps will help you to configure synchronization -
Connect your device using Desktop Manager and click on Synchronization
From the menu on the left click Synchronization under Configuration
Again click Synchronization button on the right which will give you option to Select Device Application that you want to synchronize
Put the check mark and you'll get a prompt to Select Desktop Application
Highlight the application name and click next button
Under Synchronization Option you get Direction of Synchronization
Check the radio button with Two way sync
Note: above mentioned steps are explained as per Desltop Manager 4.5
Example: Synchronize addressbook -
Connect you HH with your desktop Manager in your PC. If you device is set to wireless sync then you need to turn off wireless synchronization. To do so go to Address Book -> click Menu -> Options -> Wireless Synchronization: No -> click Menu and Save the changes.
Click on the Synchronize button on Desktop Manager -> Click on Configuration Tab then click on Configure Synchronization -> Click on Choose under Address Book (on the right side of the pop up window) -> Click on you organizer apps (like, MS outlook, Lotus notes etc) -> Select desired apps -> select Synchronization radio button and click OK twice go back to Synchronize tab ->click on Synchronize Now.

Can you sync your ipad & iphone to the same itunes account yet or?

its been over year now and the iPad 2 is out, its apparently evident that when something goes wrong no one response here with a solution, can you or can you not sync both a iPad and iPhone with the same iTunes account flawlessly yet, because i helped over 4 people to do this and every single method seems to be work arounds.
has anyone figured out how to sync both devices to the same itunes account with out work arounds after all your apps get scattered outside their folders?

You have always been able to sync as many devices as you like to one account/library/computer.
Plug in one device, select what you want to sync, then sync.
Unplug that device.
Plug in the other device, select what you want to sync, then sync.

- sync without option to overwrite data on iphone
- hard/soft reset iphone

How can you sync individual contacts to your facebook that haven't already synced up?

I have synced my iPhone with my facebook contacts, but there are some that haven't synced up. How do I do this?

I had this problem as well and after several weeks of research I found something that worked for me. I went into contacts clicked on groups and determined which email I had synced with contacts. I had 2 however I was only showing my Gmail account in my contact list. I went to my Gmail account and entered an individuals name, phone number and email address into my contact list in Gmail. Then went into settings, Facebook and update all contacts. it updated that one contact with all the information that is shared with me on Facebook, including the profile picture. I found an even easier way to accomplish this if you're using a Yahoo account because at this time Yahoo has a sync option that it seems that Gmail's latest version currently does not. Go to your Yahoo account, contacts and import all contacts from Facebook. Once that is done go back to settings, Facebook and update all contacts. Voila all you Facebook information in now in your iPhone contact list. Note: You may end up with some duplicated in your contact list. Simply link the contacts together and all of that individuals information is stored in one contact in your phone. Hope this helps and Happy clicking! lol

How can you sync your contacts via bluetooth to a sony in car media centre

i need help, does anyone know how to bluetooth your contacts to a in car media centre with iphone 4?

If syncing contacts from a Cloud service or a supported application on the computer, remove the groups there.
There is no functionality for the user to initiate sending contacts in iOS. If the head unit support PBAP, the contacts sync automatically when connecting to the head unit.

No. Apps are only compatible with devices running iOS such as the iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad.
