ICal and Treo 700 sync?  Is it possible?

I really could use some help hear so someone please step up. I have a new Macbook Pro (which I'm confused sometimes on its ability to run windows type programs or what not...but thats a different story). The treo 700 is not a Palm product per say but is made by palm. It basically has the windows operating system. Can I use this and sync ok with ical? Has anybody else done it? Please help.

As indicated above, Mark/Space is developing a version of the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile which will support Windows Mobile 5 devices like the Treo 700w. I have tremendous faith in the engineering team at Mark/Space, but not much in the WM5 platform itself, no matter which device it is installed on.
They are offering an early alpha release of the Windows Mobile 5 compatible package, currently at release 2.5a10. There are a couple of caveats: as early release software, it's clearly only for the adventurous, and you must purchase or already own a license for the current release version which does not support Windows Mobile 5 devices. The good news: you get to have some input into the design and testing process, you get to place your data at reasonably serious risk, and you get a FREE copy of the release package when it eventually ships.
As a committed Palm OS user and equally committed anti-Microsoft zealot, I'm not likely to take the plunge, but I'm pretty sure that I would sign on just for the adventure if it weren't for those factors. It is possible to meticulously protect both you Mac OS and Palm OS data from disaster, and if you're willing to take some risk, you might find the experience rewarding.

  • Why has apple taken ical and address book sync away on mavericks

    why has Apple taken the ical and address book sync option away from itunes iphone info tab on the new OS Mavericks ???? Absolutley insane !!!!

    Independent of iCloud, here are a couple more options:
    1)  You could sync with Google
    2)  You could set up OS X Server ($19.99 download on the Mac App Store) and set up a CalDAV server and a CardDAV server on your local network, and use that to sync.  A few articles have been written on that, Google for some of those terms and you should find a walkthrough.
    What you CANNOT do is a tethered sync via iTunes.  Given it was removed, I highly doubt it's coming back.

  • Possible to sync iCal and Treo?

    I have been syncing my Treo 755p to my PC via ACT. After making the switch to Mac - I've got to either buy ACT for Mac or find a way to get my database off my phone.
    I was curious if it was possible to somehow sync my Treo to the iMac and get my calendar imported into iCal and my contacts into the address book?
    I'm guessing it isn't possible, but thought I'd throw it out there! Thanks for any ideas.

    Legend87,
    You might try looking into Missing Sync. http://www.markspace.com/ I hear it does some pretty neat things for people in your situation.
    Hope that helps with your issue.

  • Problems syncing with iCal and Treo 650

    I use iSync for syncing my iBook G4, .Mac, iPod Photo and Treo 650. It has worked fine until a month ago. The iSync conduit somehow works OK with the Contacts/Address Book, but doesn't for the Tasks and Calendar (iCal). It is a real pain the to write everything manually on the Treo and the iBook separately. Can anyone help me with this? I really don't want to replace (reset) all the info on my Treo; this will cause me to re-categorize everything in the Treo, for iSync doesn't take care of it as far as I know. Thanks, ~L
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    What does your HotSync log say about these unsuccessful attempts to synchronize your Treo 650?
    While it is important to correct this problem, if you want support for categories, calendar colors, contact photographs or icons, extended electronic mail addresses, URL and birthday data, you should ditch iSync in favor of the Missing Sync for Palm OS, a much more powerful and reliable program:
    http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php
    On advanced Palm organizers and smartphones like your Treo 650, extended support is available as outlined in this document, for contacts…
    http://www.markspace.com/support/kb.php?x=&mod_id=2&id=2560
    …and this document, for events and tasks:
    http://www.markspace.com/support/kb.php?x=&mod_id=2&id=2563
    In addition, it supports internet sharing, Finder mounting and file transfer with SD cards, conduit profiles, iPhoto and iTunes media file synchronization, the synchronization of AvantGo content, and network synchronization of supported devices.

  • Outlook and Treo 700 wx are missing most, but not all, of my calendar entries

    I am running Windows XP and Outlook 2003 (SP3).  I have a Treo 700 wx with service from Verizon.  I normally sync via USB using ActiveSync.  A few days ago I noticed that most, but not all of my calendar entries were missing.  I am missing 99% of my future appointments, which of course is my big concern.  I am not missing too many historical appointments (at least starting 1 month ago).   I have synced the same way for years without a problem.  I did try to set up Wireless Sync via Verison about a week ago.  I called Verizon support to see if I somehow screwed up my calendar in the process of trying to set up Wireless Sync, and they said I never succeeded in setting it up (which I suspected), so they don't think that was the problem.  Do you have any idea what I could have done wrong and how I get my future appointments back?

  • ICal and iCloud not syncing

    Since migrating over to iCloud, my iCal entries aren't syncing with my iPhone. I'm getting a message saying - The calendar https://cal.me.com:8443/principals/users/1.122543010/ was not found on the server. Make sure the URL is correct.
    How do I sort this out?
    many thanks

    Your signature says you have 10.6.4 - this is not compatible with iCloud. However it is possible to set Mail up manually for iCloud email, and there is an unsupported hack which may enable to sync iCal with iCloud.

  • Keeping iCal and Entourage in Sync

    I am moving a lot of my email and calendar stuff over to Entourage, but iCal and Address Book are easier to sync to external things and web links, so I have these running too.
    I set Entourage to sync up to iCal and it did this, merging my calendars nicely. However, then I ran iSync to pull the latest stuff from my phone and iCal was updated, but Entourage wasn't. Do I have to run a job to get this to happen? There didn't seem to be any option do this, so how do I keep them in Sync. I already have the boxes ticked to keep Entouage synced with Address book and iCal.

    My understanding of MobileMe, when it works, is that it only syncs certain things. I would want all my files, iTunes music etc. to be copied too. Everything! A mirror. Possible?

  • ICal and Entourage quit syncing

    I use Entourage 2004 as my calendar and sync it with iCal and hence to my iPhone. This has always worked very well. However, I had to do a rebuild of my Entourage database and now iCal no longer syncs. Any thought son what happened and how to fix it?

    I kept searching and found a solution from Kerry at http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage/browse_thre ad/thread/a758c477739cdab3/5b609b739511232e#5b609b739511232e
    Thanks!
    This worked for me. Of course, it means choosing to update either the Calendar or my Contacts but for now, this is better than the mess I was having. Here is Kerry's solution:
    *The best thing to do is sync only one module, in my case its Calendar as this is the thing I change all the time whereas I rarely change contacts.
    1. Go into Entourage PREFERENCES > SYNC SERVICES > UNCHECK SYNC SERVICES
    2. Back up your main Entourage identity and iCal.
    3. Open and Run iSync.
    4. Go into iSync prefs and reset sync history.
    5. Restore the iCal calendar from the backup. This resets sync services.
    6. Delete the Entourage calendar in iCal (this will avoid dups).
    7. Go to Entourage and in prefs in sync services enable (check)
    Calendar and when the popup appears choose Merge then OK. Entourage
    will recreate an Entourage calendar in iCal and populate it with its
    information (this takes a few seconds depending on the size of the
    calendar. Sync should work both ways now.
    Note: I would not turn on Contacts as this will cause sync services to become unstable again.

  • ICal and Adress Book sync brings back deleted stuff

    Hi everyone,
    I hope this wasn't posted yet, in any case I couldn't find it, so sorry for any double posts.
    I use my iPhone as my primary work device and perform all changes of Calendar and Contact data on it. When I sync it with my desktop Mac (PowerMac G4 that I use as backup device for pretty much everything) all the old contact details and calendar events that I deleted from the iPhone are synced back to it from the desktop Mac. I exclusively sync via iTunes.
    So what I want would be a one-way sync from my iPhone to the desktop Mac so iCal and Adress Book there are just as up to date as on the iPhone. Any suggestions?
    Thanks a bunch!

    Thanks, Allan.
    I am not sure if I will follow your advice, however. While you're probably right and it should be a true sync, what I was trying to say was that in my case (and apparently Berit's as well) it simply isn't.
    Which means that apart from the fact that we will probably have to clean out our adress books and calendars again after a reset and sync. I've done that three times already and believe me, it's a major pain. Plus, there is also a chance it won't work afterwards.
    I was actually hoping for there to be some workaround solution like a one-way sync. And I'm not happy with Apple's tendency to prevent such workarounds wherever they can. I understand they want to profit from their awesome products but wherever anything doesn't work they're starting to lose their user friendliness along the way. Which still, to me, is their selling point number one, notwithstanding the really great design.
    Honestly, I'm not sure what to do right now.
    But thanks again for your time. I'll keep posting what happens.
    Best,
    Martin

  • Ical and Entourage not syncing

    When i put a new calendar item on my iphone it syncs with my ical but not with my entourage...which is where i do all my calendar rearranging. From Entourage to ical and to iphone it works great. Just not the other way around. Please help. thanks.

    Here's the fix! Go to Entourage and do a file/export and select the radio button "Items to an Entourage archive", then check mark ONLY the "Local Calendar Events" check box. Click the arrow at the bottom left, then check the radio button "Yes, delete items belonging to another project or category". NOTE: All your calendar events are still in iCal, and on your iPhone! Clicke the arrow and go through the process of archiving and deleting events from your Entourage Calendar file - you will settings disappearing from Entourage if you have the calendar open. Do a sync! After this sync check to see if you have two Entourage Calendars in iCal (I did) and delete the one that is empty. The other one remaining is your main Calendar info from Entourage. NOTE: One good thing about this methodology of using Apples iCal and Address book apps to transport data between the iPhone and Entourage is that you always have a back up in those Apps! When I deleted the empty duplicate Entourage calendar in iCal, all the information synced between iCal and Entourage restoring by empty Entourage calendar. Then I synced the iPhone in iTunes and all was back to normal. NOTE: Be sure you have the HOME and Entourage checkboxes checked in your info/calendars section as described in the original syncing with iPhone and Entourage instructions on the Apple website. NOTE: In my case contacts was no affected, only calendar events. Also, syncing was happening between the iPhone and iCal just fine, but not between iCal and Entourage. I'm sure there may be variances of this issue... but it looks like the best overall fix is to export your Entourage calendar event and delete at the same time, then delete that duplicated Entourage Calendar in iCal, and go from there. NOTE: When I did a global sync I ended up with 177 new contacts that were duplicate of two different email messages that somehow got converted to contacts and ended up in my iPhone. The fix for that was to select them all in Entourage and delete them then do another sync, then ALL was back to normal. I am now HAPPY AGAIN! Carl

  • Using iCal and trying to sync automatically to google cal

    I mostly use iCal to add events and would like those events to appear automatically in google cal without having to backup/import them (which is what I'm doing now). I tried several settings but nothing seems to work. I either end up with duplicated data in my iCal or nothing happens.
    Does anybody know how to set up this? I guess it's something simple but I cannot get it right.
    Any help appreaciated.
    Thanks!

    Create main folder e.g. Folder A, then sub-folders inside A e.g. B, C, D and have your Photos in B, C, D.
    In iTunes Sync, click your device on the left Pane, then on right pane select "Photo" tab.
    Make sure Sync photo box is checked, then select folder A, then All folders box within the selection.
    Click Apply or Sync button at the lower right window.
    you will have B,C,D folders under Albums.

    Yes, you can create separate calendars in iCal, and have them sync separately. All controlled inside iTunes when you sync your phone, or Mobileme.

This is a deal breaker for me for several reasons. Are there any workarounds or do I have to go back to a PC with my tail tucked between my legs?
