ICal Compatibility with PALM

I am new to Apple- but so far am very positively impressed.
I have a Palm Pilot and have installed the Palm Software on my Mac. It runs fine.
Is there any way to have iCal replace or at least import from Palm my calendar and address book?
Then , can iCal support my handheld palm device ? I t is a Zire?
Thank you ,
Allan

Palm pretty much gave up any real support of OS X a couple of years ago. iCal is sync-able to your Palm but not through the Palm Desktop software. You need to get something like Missing Sync for Palm OS. I used it (pre-iPod Touch days) and it sync'd my Treo and Tungsten quite happily. It's not very expensive and can be downloaded at http://www.missingsync.com/.
On the importing from Palm calendar and address book--just be sure to sync your Palm one last time with the Palm Desktop software before you install Missing Sync. On your first sync with the new software, your info will come off the Palm and into Address Book and iCal.
Another side note--If I remember right, you should uninstall the Palm Desktop software prior to installing the Missing Sync software. (Just sync your Palm that one last time before doing that.)

  • Chinese Characters Not Displayed Properly when iCal sync with Palm T5

    Hi All,
    I am having problem with the Chinese Character display on iCal. I am using iMac Intel Core Duo and Palm T5. I can read on my iMac the Chinese Characters which I typed on the iMac. Also I can read on my Palm those Chinese I inputted on my Palm. But both can't display the Chinese Characters inputed by each other. Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    I assume your flash disk is using FAT16/32...
    You need to specify the character set when mounting it. On the command line...
    # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/mountpoint -o iocharset=utf8
    To include this option in the default VFAT mount options under GNOME, launch gconf-editor, look for the key: /system/storage/default_options/vfat and add iocharset=utf8 to the list of mount options.

  • ICal sync with palm

    when I synced my Palm Zire to my old iBook G4, it added approximately 224 new events, and modified approximately 46 existing events. whenever I try to sync it with my macbook pro, it warns me that it will update the database to match what's in my older system. Basically, the issue is that iCal got damaged on my old mac, and I want to be able to have iCal look exactly the same as it does on my MacBook Pro. how can I do this?

    If you can adapt your requirements to the behavior of iSync, iCal, the Sync Services framework and the Missing Sync for Palm OS, it is possible to achieve what you want, within the limits outlined below:
    Calendars and Categories
    • iCal events are assigned to a Palm category with the same name as the calendar they are part of. If the category does not exist on the Palm device, the Events conduit creates a category with the calendar name and assigns the event to that category. If that category cannot be added—due to space limitation on your Palm device—the event is added to the Unfiled calendar.
    • Palm events and tasks that are in a specific category are sent to that calendar in iCal only if a calendar with the same name as the category exists. If the calendar does not exist, the record will be sent to the calendar that you have chosen in the Mark/Space Events and Mark/Space Tasks conduit configuration sheets. If the identified calendar is read only, then the event or task will be ignored.
    • On the first synchronization of a read-only calendar, the items are properly assigned to the correct category on the device. If any edit is made to an item in a read-only calendar the change is ignored but will persist on the device until something forces it to be overwritten by data from the desktop. If an item is assigned to a read-only calendar, it will be switched to the calendar you have selected in your preferences.
    • Calendars listed in the conduit settings are pulled from Sync Services. That means that if iCal has not finished synchronizing with Sync Services, the full list of calendars may not be read during that event.
    Other outcomes are not possible because of inherent limitations in the Palm OS and its PIM applications, the Sync Services framework, and iCal itself.

  • Published iCal will not sync with Palm device

    I had been synching my iCal to my Palm device. I recently published my iCal calendar and To Do list on .Mac. Now I can no longer make changes to my calendar on iCal, nor can I see any To Do's. When I tried to sync my Palm device, all calendar and To Do items were deleated from the Palm. Can anyone help? I have now spent several hours trying to recreate my calendar and to do list. Needless to say, I am extremely frustrated and disappointed with the way the iCal publish function works. One solution might be to 'unpublish' the calendar, so that I can manage it from iCal on my mac again, but I can't find how to do that.

    Kim or Mike,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Before you do anything else, make sure that you use the iCal>File>Back up Database... feature.
    In regard to recreating the calendar, if you open the web version of the calendar you can use the "Download" link on the web page to get the calendar on your desktop. Then use iCal to import the download: iCal>File>Import...
    Then, after clicking on the published calendar in the source window, if you wish to Unpublish, use the iCal>Calendar>Unpublish... feature.
    Since I do not use the Palm, I am unable to address that aspect of your question/problem.

  • How can I sync my Address Book and ICal with Mac and PC with Palm Desktop?

    I now have the IPhone and I love it!!! But I have some issues and need help please. I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. In the PC I use the Palm Desktop Version 4.1.4 and I have there all my contacts (more than 1,100), all my date book (since 1998) and all my memos (about 600). I want to see what would be the best way get rid of my Palm Handheld and have only the IPhone, but I have encountered some problems and many steps. Everyday I have to sync the Palm Handheld at work, then sync the Palm Handheld at home with my Mac (using The Missing Sync, but it takes a long time every time), then sync the IPhone. Can you please help me??? How can I sync my data from my PC (Palm Desktop) with the IPhone? Another, thing; I do not want to use Outlook at work because the information that I want to sync (Palm) is my personal data and I want to keep using the Palm software for that.

    aflores48,
    Unfortunately, the iPhone is not designed to sync with Palm software. As stated in the minimum system requirements, the iPhone can sync with Outlook (2003, 2007 or Express) on a PC, or with iCal and Entourage on a Mac. If you do not want to use Outlook on the PC, you can sign up for a free Yahoo account and sync with Yahoo Address Book. Yahoo Address Book can be used to sync from PC or Mac. More information on the minimum system requirements for the iPhone can be found here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305703
    More information about syncing the iPhone with your computer (including Yahoo Address Book) can be found here:

    Hope this helps,

  • ICal events being deleted when syncing with Palm Zire 21

    I have been syncing my Palm Zire 21 with iCal successfully for over a year with few problems. A few weeks ago I noticed that almost, but not all of the events on both the Palm device and iCal more than three months old were gone. Then, a few weeks later, I noticed that the events suddenly were all back in the iCal application, but not on the Palm device.
    But this week, I used HotSync (as usual) to sync iCal and the Palm device, and the events were gone again. Now I am wondering what on Earth I am doing to cause this. I have read the articles about setting up to sync. I double-checked to be sure I have been syncing the way that is outlined in the instructions in the help articles.
    I must have missed something vital. I have been backing up my iCal to my .Mac account using Backup. I am thinking that I can restore the iCal events using my last backup. Can I? And how do I keep this from happening again?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   "OS10.4.10" "iSync 2.4" "iCal 2.0.5" "Hotsync 3.1"

    Found the issue for me. The events are not deleted, but filtered in the standard calendar view. The iPhone shows everything as it should. Outlook 2003 has all the events to as seen when going to categories view.
    It seems that once events pass on the iPhone and then a sync via iTunes to Outlook 2003 the "All Day Event" field is removed from the calendar entry.
    Creating another Day/Week/Month View in outlook 2003 that has a filter to only include calendar entries where the "All Day Event" field "does not exist" will allow viewing the "hidden" past events.
    Hopefully this will be fixed VERY SOON.

    Their might be an installer that is on a queue waiting for you to hotsync, unfortunately it's not compatible. This is what you are going to do. Locate c:\program files\palm\[hotsync username]\if you will se a install folder or quick install folder just empty it by deleting whatever file inside those folders.

  • ICal with Palm device

    Can someone please help me I can't figure this out...
    I am trying to sync my iMac with a Palm Tungsten T5, and I can't get the calendars to match (i.e. I have a "work" calendar that is red) All entries show up on the Palm with "unfiled". Is there a way to get this to work?
    "D"

    I also have a Palm Tungsten T5, and The Missing Sync is definitely worth the money. The Palm Desktop software will not properly sync iCal calendars. The Missinc Sync will.
    It also gives you a lot of great features you don't get with Palm Desktop, including the ability to sync a Palm device over the network if you happen to have the WiFi card and share your Internet connection with your Palm over Bluetooth.
    The Missing Sync also has many replacements for the sync conduits for Palm applications such as Memo Pad which work much better than the ones included in Palm Desktop.

  • WOES: iSync, Palm Pilot, iCal, Missing Sync, Palm Desktop, Ericsson Phone

    Here's my situation, I've been a long time Palm user, and fairly recently (within a year) a new Mac user. I've always used the Palm Desktop on my PC in the past. I've had a Palm Vx for years, and fairly recently (within a year) I bought a Palm Zire 72 and a Sony Ericsson S170a cell phone. I also have an iPod Photo.
    I really would like to sync up my address book, calendars, memos, maybe even photos, with all my devices. I tried using iSync, but nothing seam to work right, so I tried a million things, now everything is messed up.
    For right now, I'm just trying to get my Palm Pilot, the Mac, and the Phone to have all the same calendar events (w the correect times, alarms, colors, and groups).
    I'm really frustrated with trying to get the mac's iCal, the palm pilot, the phone to all have the same calendar info. I really like iCal, and the mac address book, and how well it works with the mail app. As well as subscribing to shared iCals. Especially the holiday ones! I use to have to enter all that info by hand, and have them "other" repeater. The Palm Desktop software's calendar and address book is pretty clunky compared to the Mac apps, or even the Palm Desktop for the PC. But everything is messed up now. I even tried the "missing sync" software and it messed it up even worse.
    Several of my cal events are now GONE from iCal, my Palm Pilot, and my Phone! Many of them have duplicates, some have wrong times. Some have right groups, some don't. The ones that do have right groups, don't have any colors applied to them. If I create certain calendars on the mac and sync with the palm, the groups do not come over. If I create them on the Palm, the groups don't come over on the mac. Getting the colors/groups to match, and all 3 items to sync all at once is a nightmare as well. There were a million conflicts, and chose the correct ones, but some of them would NOT let me pick the one I wanted, it would just keep on saying "conflict".
    What would AT LEAST get me back to the original info on the Palm and the Mac would be to restore from my Palm Desktop software, but I can't get to that because it looks like the missing sync software has messed the conduit/hot sync manager up. I can no longer get to my Palm Desktop condiut settings. I'd re-install the palm software to get it back, but I will probably loose all the data stored in Palm Desktop. This is the ONLY place that has the correct info right now. I'm varry warry about loosing that information. I use to have the PC copy, and the Palm Copy, and it was all right. The Palm Desktop has an import/export feature, but it doesn't seam to carry all the info (like notes attatched to cal events).
    Also, has anyone tried to RESTORE a Palm Pilot not using the Palm Desktop software? When I had to reset my Palm, I tried using iSync or even missing sync to get all my apps, settings, calendars, address books, everything, but it never put the info back on the Palm. This info was always restored with Palm Desktop.
    And let's just say I DO get back all my calendar items back into the Palm, and the Palm Desktop software up and running correctly. What is the proper way to do what I was trying to do in the begining? Which was "just have my Palm Pilot, the Mac, and the Phone to have all the same calendar events (w the right times, alarms, colors, and groups)." I don't seam to have too many problems with contacts. Except work/home fields seam to swap all the time.
    What I'm running:
    G4 PowerMac w/ Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.3)
    Palm Pilot Zire 72s (Palm Software v5.2.8)
    Missing Sync (v5.0.3)
    Palm Desktop Mac (v4.2.1)
    Sony Ericsson S170a Cell Phone
    iPod Photo 60GB
    G4 PowerMac   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   Palm Pilot Zire 72s (Palm Software v5.2.8), Missing Sync (v5.0.3), Palm Desktop Mac (v4.2.1), Sony

    Where to start? Maybe with some background about the synchronization process.
    What Apple hasn't explained outside of the developer community is that you are not actually synchronizing applications [like iCal or the Address Book] or servers [like .Mac] or devices [like your mobile handset or a Palm organizer] when you initiate a synchronization. What you are really doing is triggering an interaction with one or more of these and the SyncServices engine, which maintains what is termed the 'truth database'—or simply, the 'truth'—to which is pushed, or from which is pulled, the current state of data maintained in fields and records for one or more specific data types. Because of the way this process works, it is not necessary to have all synchronized devices available or attached when a synchronization event occurs.
    You can synchronize your SONY Ericsson S710a, a process which exchanges the most current data maintained in the truth with it, and hours later, plug in your iPod, an action which will trigger iTunes to pull the latest data from the truth and write it to the iPod, updating your contact and calendaring records. The same is true for other applications, servers and devices.
    While it all seems clumsy and confusing, it is actually a huge step forward in making synchronization nearly automatic, almost transparent, and virtually mistake proof. It's clear that there is some distance to go before those objectives are achieved, but SyncServices is actually a huge improvement over the prior synchronization technology in iSync 1.5 and earlier.
    That said, there are bugs in SyncServices, and in the applications written by several developers to take advantage of it, along with issues in at least iCal, and probably the Address Book, that complicate what you are trying to achieve. It's possible to do, and once working, should work nearly flawlessly. But, it takes some planning to get there.
    First, a word about backing up your data. It's a good idea to periodically back up contact and calendaring records using the facilities built into iCal and the Address Book which appear in the File menu of each application. These options make easily restorable local snapshots of your data. Should something go terribly wrong with a synchronization event, you can immediately restore your iCal or Address Book data from these files. In addition, it's a good idea to have a more comprehensive backup plan in place, using Backup and .Mac, Backup and rewritable media, and so on.
    To synchronize photos, music and other media files, you'll need to use the Missing Sync for Palm OS. iSync just does not support anything beyond contact, calendaring and task data. To begin the process, you should simplify your device pool, initially concentrating only on getting a complete, accurate set of contact, event and task records pushed to the truth from the Address Book and iCal, and onto your Palm.
    You will have to take an inventory of where the best records reside, and insure that you get them into iCal and the Address Book before attempting to synchronize your Palm, because to do it properly, initially, you will have to overwrite the data on your Palm, replacing it with records from iCal and the Address Book. If you're going to edit them by making additions, changes and deletions, perform all of those in iCal and the Address Book until you have synchronized your Palm device or devices with them. Backup before performing the initial synchronization, and be sure to overwrite each Palm device the first time.
    If you want a historic snapshot of the data on either Palm device before doing this, first follow the instructions provided by Mark/Space to use the standard Palm conduits instead of Mark/Space Contacts, Events and Tasks, and be sure to set each Palm conduit to Palm overwrites handheld in order to transfer the data from your Palm Vx and Zire 72 to the Palm Desktop. Once there, those records can be exported as vCard and vCal files, and easily imported into the Address Book and iCal if you wish to do that. Edit them as you see fit, once they have been transfered. If you elect to do that, you must thereafter turn off these Palm conduits and reconfigure the Missing Sync to use the Mark/Space conduits, again choosing to have your computer replace the contents on each Palm device on the first synchronization.
    Once you've achieved a 'balance' with the records in iCal, the Address Book and your handheld organizers, you can reset the records on your mobile handset. iSync alone performs this function, and later synchronization events with your SONY Ericsson S710a will always be manually triggered, and performed using iSync, not the Missing Sync. Reset once, and subsequently synchronize.
    Anything else you want to add to the mix—.Mac Sync, for example—you can then add, initially performing a reset of your .Mac data, then subsequently synchronizing.
    Synchronization of your iPod is handled by iTunes and only pulls data from the truth, so it need not be reset, as it cannot write changes to the truth which would adversely affect your other devices.

  • 64-bit Windows 7 Pro's Windows XP Mode, Palm Desktop 4.1.4 sync with Palm Vx?

    I last talked about Palm Desktop compatibility with 64-bit Windows at http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=software&message.id=37767.  Fortunately, I haven't replaced my laptop yet, so I am in the enviable(?) position of planning the acquisition of a spanking new machine with 64-bit Windows 7 Pro (sidenote: likely a 14" ASUS).  However, my PDA is still Palm Vx, which requires Palm 4.1.4, which requires 32-bits, which is provided in Windows 7 Pro by its Windows XP Mode.  Has anyone heard any word of whether XP mode allows seamless sync'ing through the serial or IR ports?  Serial is most preferrable, of course, due its speed, lack of headaches with line-of-sight alignment, and the fact that it needs to be docked anyway for recharging.
    I'm not sure if it's as dependent on the Palm Desktop version as much as it depends on the Hotsynch Manager, which is 4.1.0.  There are probably certain Hotsynch Manager versions that are compatible with Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and Palm Vx.

  • Unable to sync with Palm Desktop

    Here's my problem. I haven't been able to sync with my elderly Palm IIIC for about 2 years. Now my daughter gave me her Palm Zire 31. All my data are in my Palm Desktop on my iMac G5. Somewhere along the way I tried using iSync and got a bunch of stuff in my Mac address book. So I did a hard reset on the Palm Zire 31, then successfully hot-synced on my G5. But my nice address from my Palm Desktop file isn't coming over, just the crummy one from the Mac address book I think. My Palm Desktop address file has all the names in categories etc. I have tried making sure I have the correct conduits for syncing with the Palm desktop, and I tried telling the Sync operation to override with the Mac contents. I just want to move all my address data from my Palm Desktop on my Mac to the Zire. Any help here?

    If you want to move all of the address data from your Palm Desktop to your handheld organizer, there is only one way to do it: using the Palm-supplied conduits to do so, not iSync and it's built-in iSync Palm Conduit. The transfer of all of the data from the Palm Desktop, including categories, simply is not supported by iSync or the iSync Palm Conduit.
    The Missing Sync for Palm OS is an alternative, but you have to plan carefully how you do this, as you must first move the data from the Palm Desktop to either your device—or, through an export/import process—directly into both iCal and the Address Book. iCal task data doesn't survive this process, only calendaring data. In either event, categories don't transfer.
    You'll have to perform some manual categorization on both your device and in the Address Book, and iSync will not support these changes. It won't reverse or otherwise modify them, it simply won't synchronize them. This is the case because you must overwrite the data on your handheld the first time you use the Missing Sync for Palm OS to synchronize.
    The Missing Sync for Palm OS will, but only when using Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later, and an advanced Palm device with Palm OS 5.4 or later on board, as I recall. Only the Z22 would qualify, if that contention is true. Here is a list of Palm OS versions tied to specific handheld devices:

    My Treo 600, with Palm OS 5.2.1, does not qualify as an advanced device and does not support categorization in the same manner as later devices do.

  • Can't sync Palm with Mac through iSync, only syncs with Palm Desktop

    I have an older Palm Tungsten T3 that I use basically only to run a medical application that I need at work (ePocrates, which has its own conduit and auto-updates itself with hotsyncs). I haven't tried to sync it to my Mac for a long time. I use iCal for my calendaring needs, sync it with my iPod, and ignore the old stuff that's on the Palm, which I hardly ever even sync.
    Today I had to reinstall the Epocrates software, and decided while I was at it I'd try to get the Palm syncing with the Mac (iCal, contacts, etc) again because it would be nice for it to show the same calendar data.
    I reinstalled the newest version of Palm Desktop from scratch. Installed the ePocrates software on top of it. I have iSync 2.4. My Palm was not listed as a device initially. I chose "Enable Palm OS Syncing" from the menu; iSync then went through a series of steps in which it disabled several conduits (presumably to no longer sync with the Palm Desktop), then told me to enable the iSync Palm conduit through the HotSync manager, which I did.
    I now show the Palm as a device on iSync, but it has a yellow caution icon over it and I'm not sure why. Clicking on it shows an options dialog. I chose for the first sync I wanted to erase everything on the device and then sync with the Mac. My syncs appear to work, but when the data is checked it seems to sync only with Palm Desktop. The old junky data on the Palm was not erased as requested. Newer calendar events and contacts from my Mac have not made it to the Palm. The ePocrates auto update conduit is working fine but that's the only part that is.
    Any idea what's incompatible, or what I'm doing wrong here?

    I have The Missing Sync and used it to sync my palm TX. I am now in the process of trying to get iCal going properly again. No longer have any calender views in iCal and the week views don't show until I have opened a month view and then go back to the week view. Very bizzare. Also have a heap of untitled calendar views in the drop down list option when looking at the info on any event - these calendar views are not accessible anywhere else though.
    I'm not sure if it is Missing Sync or something I did wrong at present. Will also throw the problem to the Missing Sync people to see what they say. Will let you know. It seemed to work really well without needing the palm desktop!

  • Put ical events into palm?

    I want to transfer events created on ical to my palm z22. i can get events to go the other way. I've been having issues with Isync, getting the error message
    "iSync Conduit: received NULL message" then sync disconnects. I disabled contact syncing in isync to get the calendars to sync.
    I'm running 10.4.11 isync 2.4 and the newest palm software

    As I just posted in another thread, there are a whole series of 'representation disconnects' between the Palm calendaring application and iCal.
    While this article— iSync: About Syncing Recurrent Events Between iCal and Palm OS Based Devices—would lead to you believe that iSync is primarily the issue, it's not: this behavior occurs primarily because of the differences between the calendaring programs in each environment, and only secondarily because of the manner in which records are pushed and pulled by the synchronization framework.
    iSync itself is simply another compliant sync client, and there is unfortunately no workaround for the issues delineated in the article.

  • Isync calendar with palm missing location field.

    I think i finally got isync to sync properly with my palm. That is, not create duplicate entries on sync.
    But sadly i can't get it to sync the Location field from ical to the palm.
    The palm does have a Location field, but it is just empty.
    It appears i'm not the only one with this problem.

    And it appears the problem is fairly old (that post is almost 3 years old).
    Now, notes are copied properly, but writing the location into the notes is NOT an option due to factors outside my control.
    I'm at a loss as to what to do, just bought 3 palms for a small company that could sync with the mac (Palm T|X), and now they can't sync properly....
    This is a pretty old bug, any reason it hasn't been fixed yet? or have i just been unable to figure out how to fix it.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I suggest that you download and test the Missing Sync for Palm OS from Mark/Space. Your Tungsten T|X organizers—coupled with Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later—provide a platform which resolves this and many other shortcomings of iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit. In addition, the Missing Sync product line supports iPhoto, iTunes [unprotected AAC format], AvantGo and memo synchronization.
    You can download a timed-trail version of the product from this page.

  • Duplicate calendar entries with Palm/isync

    I was able to sync my Palm Tungsten E2 once with entourage, ical, and address book. I was able to enter events in the calendar (through entourage) and enter them in the palm, and it synced perfectly. I went to do it again, and now I have duplicate events in ical and entourage and palm (about 4). The palm appears in the isync and I've enabled the palm os sync, and when checking the hot sync manager, I select the icon, but it never applies. I spoke with palm and they said they didn't have the software updated for this version of macbook.
    My question is, if it worked once, why not all the time?
    And is there a way remove the duplicate events without manually deleting them?
    MacBook 10.5.5
    Tungsten Palm E2, conduit manager 3.2.1, isync 3.0.2, Palm 4.2.1

    I haven't the time to answer this in depth at the moment, but you can do three things immediately:
    • stop synchronizing and, if necessary, remove your device from iSync temporarily
    • back up the contact, event and task data stored in the Address Book and iCal
    • remove the duplicates* from your Palm OS databases
    *The tool best suited for dealing with duplicate records on a Palm device is UnDupe, from Stevens Creek Software.
    There a couple of fundamental issues in play here, and I will explain them later. It is particularly because you have chosen Entourage and intend to keep using it that dealing with this issue is more complex than it otherwise would be.

Maybe you are looking for
