How to use calendar & contacts

I am a brand new convert from palm to BB. Palm's desktop was straightforward in terms of using the calendar and contact.
1. What is a good program to use for a calendar & contact?
2. How do I sync the palm info to BB? I am searching the net and cannot find anything.
3. Anyway to keep/mark a contact as private like yuo can in Plam?
4. Is there anyway I can just open on the desktop a calendar or contact and type in the various info vs. inputting direct into the BB?
Your help is appreciated!!

I am also finding this difficult to use - I got the BB especially for the calendar and contacts. I wanted to be able to sync my BB to my PC so I could always have an updated schedule with me. I was also hoping to be able to use a desktop calendar to enter all my contacts into and have it sync to my bb.
I currently dont have a desktop calendar, and I don't have Outlook - how is this supposed to work?
My bf has a Samsung Jack and it came with software to download to his computer. He was able to type all his contacts into it and have it sync to his Jack, same for his calendar.
This is not what i expected it to be - wishin I had gone with the Jack

How to sync Calendar, Contacts, Notes between Mac, iPad & iPod?

Hi there,
      I have a MacBook Pro using Mac OS X 10.6.8、an iPad using iOS 7 & an iPod Touch that uses iOS 6. And everyday I use iCal、Address Book、iWork (includes Pages、Numbers、Keynote) in Mac computer, use iWork also on iPad as well as use Calendar、Contacts、Notes both on iPad & iPod Touch.
I have trouble keeping all my files on my Mac computer、iPad & iPod Touch up to date and hate updating each of them manually. Hence I have two questions:
1) how may I sync the files of the applications mentioned above between my Mac computer、iPad & iPod Touch without using iCloud? (perhaps through iTunes or my e-mail account?)
2) if I must sync the files through iCloud, how may start my iCloud service for free?
              Thank you millions!

Automatic does not work for me on this particular task. . My primary computer is an iMac. On travel I use a MacbookPro. I want the MacbookPro to have the same Contacts list as the iMac. I am logged into iCloud on both computers. The MacbookPro needs to be syced. On it I logged out of icloud, and in doing so I chose to delete files from the computer. Then I logged in again to icloud. That put a lot of additional lists of groups into the Contacts, lists that are not on the iMac. But some individual pages are not updated to match the iMac.
I tried to manually copy (and overwrite) the various files on the MacbookPro that seemed to deal with the Contacts, including
my Library/Applicatiion Support/AddressBook
my Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
They are still not the same.
On my Macbook I unchecked the Contacts, which deleted them and checked them again. This now deleted all of my groups and the individual ones are not synced with the iMac.
So now I have had three different versions of Contacts on the Macbook, as I manipulated turning on and off iCloud, and not one of them has been the same as on iMac.
How do I get the Macbook contacts to be the same as on iMac?

Yosemite - How to use calendar

I just bought this 27" iMac and trying to use the calendar and can't find out HOW without using that contact thing, which I have no use for. Can that be done like on the old calendar I used in 10.6.8?

All you need to do is open the contact, click the birthday date and select Show this date in Calendar! Calendar is a great app, please learn to use it and if you still are stuck go speak to a Genius (free consultation) or call AppleCare.

TS4118 how to sync calendar/contacts with imac, ipad, & iphone

I am having issues syncing with all of my products and would love some assistance, please.
I have the new ipad and the iphone 5. I also have an imac running Mac OS X (version 10.6.8). I can sync the ipad and iphone 5 with icloud but I end up with a lot of duplicates. Nothing seems to be syncing with the imac.
I used to be able to keep my imac as the primary item that I would make all of the changes on, plug my ipad into the computer and when it would sync (over itunes), it would make the calendar/contacts adjustments on to the ipad, but since getting the iphone, that just isn't happening any more. Is it because of icloud? Now, there is nothing on my imac calendar - the iphone seems to be the primary with both the ipad & iphone having a ton of duplicates (both in the calendar and the contacts)!
Thanks sooo much for any assistance you can provide!

While waiting for a reply, you can read the documentation that was in the box your iPad came in. It's a book about a Spanish guy called Manual.
The answer is iTunes. Download it. Install it. Read the instructions. Use it.

How to synchronise calendar, contacts and music separately?

Anyone knows how you can synchronize your calendar, contacts and music separately? It seems that ITunes is capable of only synchronizing everything you have.
I have a computer at home (Vista) with my music and another one at work (XP) with my contacts and calendar (Outlook). Is it possible to synchronize my Ipod with both automatically and conveniently? ie my work PC doesn't delete all my music?
I have a 5 years old palm pilot that does this without any special intervention. Can ITunes do the same?

How to Use calendar service via internet not intranet

Hello:
I wanted to know if there is any change or stuff (like proxy web server) to use the calendar via Internet.
i.e.
i access the calendar on my networ througth http://hostname.domainname.com:portnumbre.
When i try to access via internet therougth www.domainname:portnumer, it cannot be accesible.
What are the procedures, by the way i have used the evaluation senario for this.
Thanks in advice.

Hi:
Thanks for the reply but still yet it does not fix my problem.
Let me explain a little bit more:
The DNS looks up to the ip so the access page can be reached, but when i try to use the service it does not work.
So i guess i need to ad some line to ics.conf?? or something else:
My domain internally just works fine.
host.mydomain.com:3080
and i access and use the clalendar
however when outside the intranet i.e my home i use:
www.mydomain.com:3080
It accesses to the page where it asks me for login, but it does not authenticate. and continues asking for a user.
That�s why i think there must be some change in the configuration or software.

Thanks

How to use Calendar on 7.1.1

How to use Calender..

Hi guys,
I have problem to learn using Calendar. Any ways that i can learn the calendar. I want to build a calender and before doing that I want to learn
how to use Calendar in java.util. can Anybody help me.
thanks

Well, first off read the Javadocs. Get a Calendar object with Calendar.getInstance(); Initially it will hold the data and time it was created. Basicaly it accesses the date and time broken down into year, month, week, day, hour, minute,second and millisecond and you can retrive these values, set any one of them to a specific value or add or subtract any number of days, weeks, etc.. In generally seting any of the units will leave the other fields unaffected. When you have the date you want getTime will convert it to a standard Date format. Generally don't use calendars for formating or reading dates and times, use DateFormat. Calendar is mostly for calculations.

How can I sync contacts and calendar via iTunes 11.1.8 to iOS 3.1.3 (iPhone 1)?

I am proud owner of an iPhone 1 and it still works fine, but runs on iOS 3.1.3. I updated my 2 year old iMac to Mac OS X (10.9) and I am now using iTunes 11.1.8. Actually, I bought my iMac because I was so enthusiastic to see how smooth syncing with my iPhone worked. Now, since OS X, I can not sync calendar and contacts anymore. I had to reset my iPhone and start from scratch, so contacts and calendar are empty.
Sync via iTunes does not work anymore because Apple deleted the direct sync function and my iPhone's iOS does not support iCloud.
Sync via CalDav does not work, beause for some reason my iCloud account is not approved when trying to create it in mail/calendar/contacts (I tried several times, crosschecked, all data appear correct to me and work in the browser access).
Sync via Google does not work, because obviously, my iOS does not support their calendar and contacts function.
Sync via Windows PC might work, but I would have to set one up from scratch.
Downgrading to iTunes 10.7 failed, because OS X didn't allow it. Downgrading the Mac OS might be an option, but I am already running e.g. Books and using it a lot.
Any help is welcome.
Iris
P.S.: I still remember Steve Jobs saying "it simply works!"

Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

How can i get iPad calendar/contacts style for my iMac (lion)?

how can i get my iMac (10.7.4) to use the VERY HANDY, MUCH FASTER iPad style calendar & contacts views?
iPad3/new iPad - date bar w/ months & arrows at the bottom, day-week-month-year- & LIST option at top - THIS IS QUICK!!!
iMac -sloowwww flip a month - OR click to view months - click here to view date..... even adding a month bar to quick click at top would be faster.
it's also like this w/ contacts -
iPad3/new iPad- QUICK alpha tabs on side that show name on left w/ info on right w/ QUICK contact options to message, FT, share.
iMac contacts - groups/or all - scroll to find/click names or search - no quick contact tabs like the iPad.
Does anyone know how to incorporate the FAST features of the iPad3/new iPad to my iMac?
Lack of these options must be an oversite and hopefully an update will soon be comming out implement these quick features across the board on all apple devices?!?! Until then - any ideas?
Quick, userfriendly... we all want that!

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
