Contacts and calendar using pc and mac

I have a Mac at home and PC at work. I want to be able to copy/update my contacts and calendar from work on my ipod. How can I do this (easiest possible way).
thanks

the easiest way around this would be to export your contacts as a vCard from the software at your work and email them to yourself at home. then just drag them into the "Contacts" folder in you ipod. i don't think there is any easier way to do it.
hope that helps,

Can I transfer the entries in my calendar using NFC and S Beam to another Galaxy III?

Can I transfer the entries in my calendar using NFC and S Beam to another Galaxy III or is there another way?

Hi Jcrumet!
Fantastic question! I know its important to have a device that can help make daily activities easy. Let's get this resolved. Yes, NFC through Android Beam lets you instantly share URLs, contacts and calendar events with other Android Beam-capable devices. Are you having issues completing a transfer? If so, what is the specific error message that you are receiving? Just to clarify, are you wanting another way to send a calendar entry to another galaxy 3 device outside of NFC/S Beam? Keep me posted.
Thanks,

Howdy eewebe13,
So you have no cellular service but are on Wi-Fi yet iMessage and Facetime are waiting for activation.
Please step through this article for that scenario.
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support

Can the Mac Pro run Window XP (booth camp) and be used as a MAc OS server

Hi There
Can the Mac Pro run Window XP (booth camp) and be used as a MAc OS server in the same time?
I am a small business and I was thinking of using the new mac pro for a new workstation on my studio and to also use it as a server for 5 work others stations. Is that possible? Or I am asking a bit to much work load to do for the Mac Pro?
Can the Mac Pro can run under Window XP and Autocad and still be accessed by other workstation whilst working on the cad software? Is booth camp will slow the machine like Virtual PC?
IS the MAc Pro can manage file hosting website with PHP and mySQL capabilites?

Great question, but it appears the answer is no (at this time); they promise to work on it immediately. Check this thread at parallels.

Just adding to what CSound has said.
Pages and Numbers will change Word and Excel documents when they open and close them.
Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes not. With the latest versions of Pages and Numbers, more likely not.
So don't think you are going to work with MsOffice files without problems. You will always have something not right and in some cases really annoyingly not right. Like having all the text from Pages appear bold in MsWord, or page breaks in the wrong place or some objects and graphics not appearing in one or the other.
If working between different Operating Systems and MsOffice files, I also recommend LibreOffice. It opens and saves nearly all file formats. Unfortunately not .pages or numbers. Yet. The folks at LibreOffice are busy adding to it all the time, and making sure it works in all Operating systems, Mac, Windows and Linux and they are promising iOS as well soon.

HT204053 I had Snow Leopard and was using iWeb and Filezilla for my website (not MobileMe). Wanting to move to single-click publishing, I now find it is not supported by iCloud and Mountain Lion. I feel cheated, having bought it mainly for this purpose!

The other thing they don't tell you is that Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac, and I am considering uninstalling it for that reason - do I get my money back?!

You stated; "Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac"
That is not true.
Mountain Lion does not have Rosetta so it is not capable of executing PowerPC code. If you have MS Office 2004 that is coded in PowerPC code and will not run in Mountain Lion. What you need to do is upgrade to an Intel version of Office.

I just encountered a similar issue. I bought a new iPhone5s and sent my iPhone4s for recycling as it was in great shape, no scratches, no breaks, perfect condition. I expected $200 and received an email that I would only receive $24.12. The explanation was as follows: Phone does not power on - Power Supply Error. Attempts to discuss don't seem to get past a customer service rep that can only "escalate" my concern. They said I would receive a response, but by email. After 4 days no response. There is something seriously wrong with the technical ability of those in the recycling center.

Syncing contacts and calendar with outlook and gmail - use Exchange or not?

I need to sync my contacts and calendar between my iphone and Outlook and google on my laptop. Syncing via iTunes is fine as a backup but not as a constant process. I then saw that Gmail would permit an Exchange account to be used to allow immediate syncing so I installed an Exchange account on the iphone. It works but I now have doubled contacts. Is there a better way of doing this to avoid duplicate contacts? If I dedupe the contacts on the iphone do I risk then deleting contacts in Outlook on my PC? Alternatively if I delete the Exchange account on the iPhone is there a simple way of keeping calendars in sync on Iphone, Google and Outlook? (I just have two gmail accounts and do not have a Microsoft Exchange server)
Grateful for any useful advice on this issue!

FYI I eventually developed a work around that works better. I have a mac at home and a window pc at work. You can use plaxo to sync contacts between the two and the ipod syncs with the mac as advertised. Also as a bonus you don't have to deal with any issues, problems and pains with multiple itunes locations...

Can't synch music & contacts/calendar using home and work machines

Hi all. I just purchased an Iphone. I keep me calendar and contacts on my work computer (Microsoft Outlook) and my music on my home computer (Itunes). I synched the phone with Itunes (no music) on the work computer today and now have all of my contacts and calendar on the phone. I tried to synch with my music on my home computer tonight and I got a prompt that says the phone is synched with another Itunes library and that if I want to synch with the home library (for my music) the contents of the phone will be erased and then synced.
So, my question is: will the erasing erase my contents and calendar from my synch this morning with my work computer? If so, how can I get both my contacts/calendar and my music from the 2 different computers onto my phone?
Sorry about the long post, and thanks in advance!
Regards,
Frank A.

You can sync music/video from ONE computer/library at a time. The same is not true of contacts and calendars.
Your music will be erased if you sync music to another computer, and replaced with music from the new computer.
If you are trying to sync contacts/calendar to both computers, then make sure that each computer has at least one contact and calendar entry. This will prompt a merge.
If you want to sync contacts/calendars from one and music from another computer, then disable automatic sync and select contacts and calendars to sync with one computer ( de-select music and video sync) and do the opposite on the other computer.

Contacts and calendar events disappearing and reappearing

I have three issues, two of which I think are related.
1.
My contacts disappear on my iPhone 3G. I am set up with MobileMe to auto sync and I don't know if that is getting screwed up somehow? The contact are on my Mac lap top when I go look (thank goodness), and I force a sync and they transfer to my phone fine. This has happened twice now. I have copied my contacts as vCards and saved that file in the downloads folder just in case they get lost on both my laptop and my iPhone - I also do a regular full laptop backup to my Time Machine - is there anything else I should be doing to back up my contact and calendar data?
2. (possibly related to 1.)
When I am looking at my iCal in the weekly view on my laptop, sometimes several of my appointments are not visible. It is only when I try to put an appointment in that is at the same time as the invisible ones that they suddenly reappear.
3. One of my contacts will not sync from my iPhone to my lap top? It used to be in both places but for some reason it is now only on my iPhone and even when I sync, it doesn't come into my laptop Address Book.
Help please!!!

i am having what i think is a very similar problem in that my Exchange (you seem to use only mobileme) contacts partially disappear. i discover this when i check my sms message list and find that many messages show only the phone number when earlier the name was there. a check of the contacts list shows that some have disappeared.
i restarted the phone and checked immediately but it was still gone but after a few minutes they came back.
my theory is that something is going on with messy exchange server syncs with my iphone that could be causing the process to break midway but after a while the phone automatically syncs again.
this issue appears quite rarely for me but enough to be noticed and to be annoying.

Contacts and Calendar with iCloud and non-iCloud devices

I have a mix of non-iCloud and iCloud devices and macs, both at work and at home. Calendar has continued to sync correctly between all devices, however contacts is definitely not syncing between iCloud and non-iCloud devices. Bookmarks are also not coming across from iCloud devices to non-iCloud macs. Mail is working fine. I'm surprised that there is such variation in core apps. I would have expected iCal and Address Book to both work (or not work), but this seems not to be the case.
Keen to know if this is the norm for other uses of mixed environments?

I have a Macbook. Mac OS X 10.5.8. And an iPhone 4, as well as an iPad 2 - both on iOS 5.
There is a really really annoying and silly issue with syncing contacts and calendars across my Mac using iTunes (cable) and the iCloud options when my Mac does not support iCloud.
When I create / amend a contact or an event on my iOS device, if I choose (or more likely than not, the default option) "iCloud" for my contacts / calendar, the creation or amendment does NOT appear in my MAC even when syncing over cable with iTunes.
I have to choose ONE to edit - either the iCloud version OR the "from my Mac" version.
This is extremely annoying and silly - so much for Apple's seamless integration of products.
Of course, the easiest way out (and I am assuming Apple's preferred option) is to
(1) get a new Macbook Pro / Air that has OS X Lion which has iCloud inbuilt. - but that is just wasteful as my Macbook is still running flawlessly. (until now)
Or to do the unthinkable and tinker with electronics when you are totally clueless (like I am) and to
(2) upgrade to Snow Leopard and then to Lion - yeah right... have you friggin read those reviews?!?!
Is Apple intending to solve these issues for the non iCloud / iCloud group of users and make the Apple experience better again?
Or just because the company is doing great financially, and selling more products more than ever, and yet still have huge huge markets to conquer, gonna just ignore the above issues and just wait for our patience to wear thin, and do (1) - buy yet another new product.
OR we could switch to android and samsung and PCs and what have yous... please do not make us make this choice!!!

How I share my Outlook (contact, and calendar) with iCloud and Blackberry?

I have Window 7 with Outlook 2007. I am trying to sync my contact, and calendar between my blackberry and iCloud such as iPod touch or iPad. I am having a hard time to track down by google and found tons of answer where is not the best one. I am using BIS where normally my blackberry sync with Blackberry Desktop Manager with my Outlook. I do not have exchange server or exchange thing at all. When I got iPod touch or iPad, all my regular contacts and appointments had moved to iCloud and ingore my regular one with Blackberry. I need to make it work between blackberry and iPod touch or iPad along with my outlook where I can control everything in Outlook.
I had one idea which I tried to change the map folder under Blackberry Desktop Manager for sync where I see all my folders in "Microsoft Outlook Folders" I see one of them said iCloud and trying to add it and got an error message which said, "Error encountered. Error code- 0x80043bea. Check documentation"
Any clue?
Thanks.

Hi Bormond65,
Can you tell us a little bit more about your configuration? Are you using Exchange? Are you currently run Outlook for Mac (Office 2011) on your MacBook Pro? Or are you looking to migrate data from a PC to Outlook for Mac on your MacBook Pro?
