How to Sync To-dos

Hi
Is there any way of syncing the to-dos on your ical with the iphone 3g
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thank You

To-Do's with due dates that show up on your iCal will NOT sync to the iPhone. Those are merely "alias" entries in your iCal.
You can use the sync-workaround if you want a free solution -- but it does involve entering to-do's in a different place, not your iCal task list.
Make a contact and name it *TODO or something like that (put a symbol in front of it so that it ends up at the top of your contact list all the time)
Enter your to-do list in the notes field of the contact. That they syncs and you can edit it on either your iPhone or your desktop.
It's unglamorous, but it works. Otherwise you have to invest in a program like Omnifocus, if it's worth the money to you. It was for me. One caveat though -- it only works for all practical purposes if you have access to data services.

  • I can't figure out how to sync my songs I downloaded to my itunes?

    I downloaded songs to itunes on my computer.  I can't figure out how to sync them to my ipod.  It says to click devices and pull up my ipod, but there is no "devices" listed, though I have registered, etc.?

    Connect your iPod to the computer with the provided cable.
    Open up iTunes.
    You should see your iPod in the Device list.
    Click on it.
    Choose what you want to sync to your iPod and then click Sync.

  • How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?

    How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?
    We are two people using three difrent Macs, 1 Iphone and 1 Ipad with separate USERS  on each Mac but sharing the same Apple ID: xxxxxx
    I set up the first user to iCloud and it was OK but when I set up the second user to use iCoud the first users's info gets mixed with the second user's info?
    Do we have to set up a diffrent Apple ID for each other?
    Sometime ago I added my friends E mail (yyyyy) to the main Apple ID (xxxx) as for using his E mail account (to separate our e mail accounts, and it's working ok) but now when I try to create a new apple ID whith the same friend's e mail (yyyyyy)  it says that his mail (yyyyy) is already an apple ID when the Apple ID is really my E mail (xxxxx)... any clue?
    Thanks

    I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
    Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
    Hope that helps

  • How to sync my iPhone to my MacBook Pro and vice versa as it no longer seems to be doing?

    How to sync my iphone to my MacBook Pro and vice versa as it no longer seems to be doing? When I initially set up everything it worked fine; however, now my contacts are not syncing between devices?
    I have Icloud and even paid for ectra storage to see if this was the issue but it doesnt seems to be.  When I try and view devices on my itunes to sync it will not allow - blank option?
    If anyone could please help it would be really appreciated- thanks in advance:)

    I don't know how you got to your current position, but you might want to start by replacing your calendar with your MacBook Pro calendar if it is correct (if it isn't, skip this):  first disable calendar syncing on your phone (Settings>iCloud>Calendars set to OFF), then prior to syncing open iTunes on your computer and disable automatic syncing (under Preferences>Devices>Disable...from syncing automatically syncing).  Next connect your phone and set your sync settings on the Info tab to Syc Calendars with iCal, and below under Advanced choose "Replace Information on this iPhone" and check Calendars.  Now sync and this will hopefully replicate your MacBook calendar on your iPhone.
    Next, carefully review this to see that you have correctly set up iCloud on both your phone and your MacBook: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/, and that your meet the minimum system requirements (latest version of iOS on your phone, latest version of iTunes, OSX Lion 10.7.2 or later).

  • How to sync with two computers not at the same time, I'm registerd with one computer

    How to sync with two computers (not at the same time), I'm registered with one computer and am trying to connect with second computer with same iPhone. To sync the first time with the second PC "Firefox Sync Option tells me Create New account or Connect, when I connect it gives me a Passcode and on iPhone it also gives me a Passcode, than how do I connect? Both the iPhone and PC gives me a Passcode and have now idea what to do with them.
    Where do I find my Sync Key ? so I can install manually if it works ?

    Use the Sync Key ''(Recovery Key)'' from the PC that you used to initially setup your Firefox Sync service, when setting up that 2nd PC with Sync. You need to use '''Add a device''' to setup the 2nd and subsequent devices on a Sync account. <br />

  • How to sync ical with multiple apple devices and android?

    Does anybody have use an android phone in addition to apple devices, and have you figured out how to sync ical with all? (I know there are other calendars that can be used by all, but it means a lot to my husband to stay with ical.)

    I tried Yahoo in the past but had trouble with duplicate entries. However, this was a while ago before Yahoo updated their site and this was with syncing to a Windows computer with Outlook in addition to a Mac so my results might not be typical. Yahoo's worth a shot, but my experience with Yahoo is why I use Google Calendar.
    Beyond that, I don't know of any other "free" services. There are many other hosted calendar sites that could work, but you'd pay something like $5-$20 per month, which is comparable to MobileMe.

  • How to Sync Multiple Iphones on the Same Computer

    Does anyone know how to Sync two different Iphones on the same computer?

    You have given almost no detail/information at all, so ti is hard to say.
    What apps? Are both iphones new? Were they synced with other computers? Same account?
    What is it that you are trying to do?
    The iphone will sync itunes content (music/apps/video) and pics with one and only one computer. If you sync to another it will first eras the content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.
    You can transfer itunes purchases. Authorize the account, do not sync: File>Transfer Purchases

    Can someone tell me how i sync my ipod on my new computer. i have authorised the computer but i can not find where to sync it. i thought Apple was meant to be easy

    Hi Richail,
    Once you have selected your sync options in iTunes, such as what music or videos you want to transfer, the Apply button should be in the bottom right hand corner of the window. For more information on syncing iOS devices, you may find the following article helpful:

  • How to sync two iPhones on to the same MacBook Pro?

    I have an iPhone 4 and previously I would sync my phone to my MacBook, but my husband bought me a PC.  So now instead of figuring out how to sync to my PC I would really just like to sync to his Macbook Pro, as I am using that more due to a new job.  How do I do this w/o messing my phone up the first time I sync and then how do I continue to do this without adding all his contact and calendar info into my phone too?  Also I am signing up for MobileMe and have questions about how that works with two iPhones in the house and using the same iTunes account for apps and such (we rarely if ever purchase music).
    Thanks so very much!!!

    The easiest least complicated way to keep your info and her info seperate and not worry about things is to take advantage of user profiles on your computer (in XP)...so each of you log into XP with your own accounts, thus iTunes (and any other software like mail, etc) all have your own settings.
    Otherwise, you will have to watch which account is logged into iTunes Store (click store and see what name is up top right in case you both have different accounts)...and make sure you are logged in with the right account before syncing. iTunes does know the difference between your phones so each can setup different settings of what to sync to, but your library on your computer will be mixed unless you do what I said first, use different profiles (user logins) for XP.
