ICal sync to Droid

I have a DROID Charge by Samsung and use iCal as my only calendar. Is there an app that would allow me to sync my iCal with my phone or the very least to view in on my phone?
I have read the articles about syncing to iCal to Google, but I was not successful with the process. It told me I have too much data, plus I want to keep my individual calendars.
Thanks!

nessker,
Further to my last post, here are instructions for syncing iCal with your Google Calendar, taken from the Google Support site.  It apparently is done from the iCal side:
Enable Google Calendar in Apple's iCal
Apple iCal 3.x and up (on Mac OS X v10.5+) support CalDAV sync.
To set up CalDAV support for Google Calendar in Apple's iCal, follow these steps:
Open Apple iCal, go to Preferences and then the Accountstab.
Click on the +button to add an account.
In the box that pops up, enter a description for the account and your Google Account username and password.
Under Server Options, add the following URL:
https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user
Replace '[email protected]' with the email address that you use to log in to Calendar. Make sure to include the '@domain.com' portion (which is @gmail.com for Gmail users) in this section.
DO NOT substitute your username for 'user' at the end of the URL.
Leave the Use Kerberos v5 for authenticationoption unchecked.
Click Add.
Under the Delegation tab, select the calendars you'd like to add to iCal by checking the boxes next to them. You may need to hit refreshto get the latest list of calendars.
Add your email address to your Address Book card by selecting Add Email. You'll be prompted to add your email address only if your address is not already in your Address Book.
You won't be able to invite or email guests to Google Calendar events within iCal if your address is not in your Address Book.
Your Google Calendar will now appear in iCal's list of calendars, and changes you make to your Google Calendar in iCal will be reflected when you sign in to Google Calendar.
Event information will automatically refresh every five minutes. You can change this interval by opening the iCal > Preferences > Accounts menu and selecting a new refresh interval under the 'Refresh calendars' drop-down. Keep in mind you can also force a refresh by selecting a calendar and pressing the Apple and R keys at the same time.
Calendars that are checked but disabled have already been added to iCal - you can remove them from within iCal.

  • Syncing the Droid Charge to a MacBook Pro

    Just purchased a Droid after previously owing a Blackberry. Always had problems synching my calandar and addresss book with my Blackberry and would like to know of anyone has experienced problems with the Droid.

    If you had problems syncing your BlackBerry, just wait for the fun you'll have trying to figure out how to sync the Droid.
    The iCal calendar will sync OK, but contacts won't really sync.  Best way in my experience is to email the Mac contacts you have to your gmail account, then bring them into the Droid.
    Good luck.

  • HT2513 Ical sync with iPad limited to 2 years in the future

    Ical sync from Mac to iPad only appears to work for events up to 2 years in the future. After two years from current date no events show up on iPad. Can you increase this to sync events three years into the future?

    Hi,
    Are you following these instructions (I have not done this):
    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/calendar/yahoocalendar/sync/sync-03.html
    Only the CalDAV calendar created with this process should sync.

  • Do Reminders in iCal sync via iTunes?

    I'm using Reminders in iCal 5.0.1 on OS X Lion. I sync my iCal data with the Calendar app on my iPhone, via iTunes (not iCloud). The weird thing is, none of my Reminders data is syncing, either from my iPhone to my iMac, or from my iMac to my iPhone.
    Does the Reminders data only sync via iCloud?

    This doesn't help you, but I just recently started having the same problem, I just upgraded my 3G to 4.0 in iTunes so I don't know if that has anything to do with it but nothing on my phones calendar will sync to iCal. Events in iCal sync to the computer just fine thought. I hope someone can help me figure this out!

  • ICal sync prompts password which doesn't work

    Dear support team,
    Whenever my computer iCal syncs to my MobileMe, and thus to my iPhone, I get a prompt for a password that reads "Enter the password for your user account on 'End User's Computer'." When I type in my user account password it says "Sorry, you entered an invalid password. Please try again." I then type my keychain password and get the same message. I type my MobileMe password and get the same message, again. I have no other passwords to try. When I check iCal on my computer and phone, I see that the sync on iCal worked, regardless. Other than being annoying, the password prompt interupts FCP layoffs. So I set sync to manual, but forget to sync before I run to a location shoot with the incorrect unsynced info on my iPhone. I endeavor to find a solution.
    One of the articles on this site instructed me to use Keychain First Aid in Keychain Access. To verify keychain issues, it prompts for my user login password, which works. It then says that there was an error, which I then repair. I test the hopeful result by syncing to iCalendar, but get the same interrupting password prompt. Another article instructs to unlock the "login" and "System" keychains, in Keychain Access, to do something there. I had unlocked and snooped around both, before consulting the sites, but now my user login password no longer works to unlock the "login" keychain, and neither do my other two passwords. Oddly, my user login password works just fine opening the "System" keychain My safari keychain locks and unlocks just fine with it's password. I go back to First Aid and see that my user password works just fine, and see that there are no errors in the keychain system, but I'm now afraid to shut down my computer fearing that I won't be able to login ever again. I'm thinking about following another discussion instruction to reboot the entire computer with the original Leopard OS disk, but that feels like a last resort headache. I could pack up the entire computer and bringing it to the nearest Apple Store Genius Bar, but that will take half a day.
    I just followed a support instruction to reset the login keychain I was unable to open, restarted and tried the iCal sync with the same result as before. I can't think of anything else.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks for taking the time to read this.

    Just fixed it by going to MobileMe Sync Preferences and unchecking the box for keychain sync. No more password prompts that say "Invalid." Now the iCal on both computer and iPhone sync without interruption of work flow. I had originally checked the box to sync keychains so that I wouldn't have to type in ID's and passwords to enter sites on my iPhone. Big glitch in the system. Why have the box to check if it creates problems? Hopefully they'll fix it once, or if, they become aware.
    Thanks for letting me think aloud.
    Peace

  • Mobile User iCal Sync not syncing

    Hi,
    I've got a mobile user account that doesn't seem to be syncing properly. It only seems to affect iCal sync, though.
    On the user's MacBook, they have two calendars which are local calendars and one CalDAV account back on the iCal Server.
    On the user's mac mini in the office, they aren't getting the local calendars from the MacBook despite the MacBook doing a full sync before they log in to the Mac Mini.
    Does this mean that local iCal calendars are stored outside of the user's home directory? Has anyone else come across this problem?
    Cheers,
    Stu

    In Lion, iCal is now synced via iCal Preferences.
    This from iCal help using the search criteria "sync"
    Set up a MobileMe account
    If you’re a MobileMe subscriber, you can use iCal to access and manage your MobileMe calendars. For example, in iCal, you can add subscribed calendars to your MobileMe Calendar account so you can view them in iCal and on devices with iOS 4 or later. You can also share calendars, which allows others to see or edit the calendars.
    If your calendars are already set up to be synced using MobileMe, then your MobileMe Calendar account is already set up. To sync your calendars using MobileMe, see:
    Sync calendars across devices
    Choose iCal > Preferences and click Accounts.
    To add a new account, click Add in the lower-left corner.
    Enter your MobileMe email address and password, and then click Create.iCal finds any calendar accounts associated with the email address you provide.
    For more information about working with MobileMe calendars, visit the MobileMe website.

  • IPod to iCal sync not working - FOLLOW UP

    2 things...first sorry for the length of this post, I'm not sure how to say all of this shorter. Second, this is a follow up post to my earlier question, possibly to help others as well.
    The problem I was having was that the iCal would sync events to the iPod, but not the other way around. After MANY restores/restarts, etc., it still wouldn't work. Off to the genius bar...tried many things, the last of which was connecting a store iPod to my Mac...still wouldn't sync. After I got home, I realized all the calendars from the store were now on my touch!
    Next day, back to genius, was there for 3 hours with no resolution...tried everything, deleted iCal calendars, completely uninstalled, reinstalled, and rebuilt iTunes library, etc., store calendars still on iPod... Tried a few more things from home that night, no luck.
    Back on Saturday for a replacement, which was given.
    Back at home, restored last known good iCal calendars from Time Maching (God love time machine!)
    Got home, store calendars not on this iPod, but the calendars themselves were in the list of possibles under "Info" tab in iTunes (don't know how else to say that.) Selected non-store calendars, and it synced only my stuff to the Touch, but still not from touch to iCal...
    Tried a test account, and it worked! OK, so what's the difference between test account and mine? .Mac... For some reason, I tried to turn off .Mac syncing as a test, and it worked fine (the iCal/iPod thing)...replaced all .Mac info with stuff from the computer, turned syncing back on...bad calendars, etc. back, and iPod to iCal sync gone!
    Long and short of it, I've killed my .Mac syncing and it works fine! The store calendars are no longer in the list on the "Info" tab, and everything else looks fine.
    *If you can't get your iPod to sync with iCal, try killing your .Mac syncing and resetting sync preferences via iSync* (Applications/iSync then Apple+, for preferences).
    I have no idea why this would have remained a problem since I replaced all .Mac info with stuff from my comp., but it was.
    If you have any ideas why, I'd love to hear them. Thanks to all who offered suggestions to repair it the first time...

    It was definitely worth a try, but it didn't work for my iPod touch.
    What did work however was deleting BIRTHDAYS from my iCal (in Preferences / General). It's not the first time that Birthdays have caused me grief (ever since 10.5, .Mac Sync regularly gets its knickers in a twist over them) so I now just create a manual diary entry of my mum's birthday! It's a small price to pay for getting iPod and iCal to synch finally.

  • Entourage 2008 & iCal sync inaccurate free / busy status for events

    On a campus using Exchange 2007, I am using Entourage 2008 and sync to iCal 3.0.2 (Leopard) via Sync Services in Entourage's preferences. Both Exchange 2007 and Entourage 2008 have only been installed in the last two months.
    I have found that events which I mark as "free" in Entourage 2008 are changed to "busy" after a sync with iCal. The free / busy status is correct when the sync with Exchange takes place, but the status is incorrectly changed to busy every time the iCal sync takes place.
    I need to put campus events, co-worker planned absences, and similar things on my calendar, but these items need to remain as "free" so that I can be scheduled during those times. This all worked correctly with Entourage 2004 and the older version of Exchange.
    Does anyone know how to correct this behavior so that the free / busy status is not changed with a sync to iCal?

    Sue,
    Wish I could offer some good advice, but the easy syncing of iCal and Entourage 2008 so far has been impossible if not a nightmare.
    When you go to import in Entourage and iCal is NOT listed as "another application", we are in HUGE trouble.
    A real shame that in today's world of "New Media" and PDA's like iPhones and Blackberry that the two billionaires from Apple and MS did not provide us with easy and simple export/import/sync tools.
    Maybe they should rename Office 2008 to Office 1984

  • ICal syncing shared calendars

    I have 3 separate google calendars that I use often. I have them all shared with each other with r/w permissions to make things easier on the go.
    The problem comes in with iCal syncing. I have all three calendars in iCal under separate accounts. sometimes, iCal will sync the shared calendars along with the individuals, making duplicates of them, and flooding me with unnecessary reminders.
    The only problem is that iCal WILL NOT save the settings on the shared calendars. When it recognizes that accound has shared calendars, it will load them and give me reminders. Naturally I go and uncheck the calendar because I don't want it syncing. But then, when it refreshes, and finds the shared calendars, it doesn't remember the setting, and loads the shared calendars.
    In simple talk, I just need to know how to get iCal to remember NOT to sync the shared calendars. Because it hasn't worked so far and its unbelievably frustrating...

  • Iphoto pictures disapeared after trying to sync my droid razr motocast to macbook.

    Help! I'm trying to get my pictures to reappear on iphoto but nothing is working.  Trying to sync my droid razr to my macbook has changed the format of the pictures and they no longer appear in iphoto. They appear as outlined squares with no photo.  I disinstalled motocast from my computer and got rid of it on my phone, but still no luck.  I tried pressing the option/command/iphoto icon together to reset thumbnails as is says to do in the help menu, but that does nothing.  Does anyone have a suggestion?  I appreciate any advice you can offer.

    I found another post that addressed this problem and recommended Image Capture as the solution. I was able to transfer all my pictures from my iphone to the computer with Image Capture. Then, I just had to create subfolders and upload the pictures/short movies into iphoto in small batches (about 123 pics/movies at a time).

  • ICal syncing issues

    Hi - can anyone help me....
    I have a Macbook Pro at home, an iMac at my office, and an iPhone in my pocket. I cannot, for the life of me, get the calendars to sync properly. On my laptop I have appointments that do not appear on my iPhone (very frustrating) and sometimes things that I add to my iCal on the iMac don't appear on either the iPhone or the Macbook. Also the reminders are a nightmare. Because I often leave both computers running all the time if a reminder appears on one of the machines it remains there until I am beside that machine to be able to either delay it or cancel it. Therefore this means that further reminders on other devices don't come up and sometimes I miss things I supposed to do.
    Two more questions (sorry):
    Is it possible to add postponement time options to the drop down that appears when a reminder comes up on the screen. The choices are somewhat limited, they go in nice stages up to two hours, then the next choice is one day! Sometimes I want a reminder in four or eight hours but to do that I need to just keep going in increments of two hours which occasionally leads to the problems referred to above.
    Secondly, when a reminder comes up in the iPhone whilst it is being used (i.e. on a call) you have a choice of either close or open appointment. Does close mean that it just closes it from what you are doing or does that mean that it cancels the ongoing reminder? Similarly when you click the other option there seems to be no obvious way postpone the reminder for another few hours.......??
    Sorry to be so long-winded

  • Since I installed the new OS X Lion, the iCal syncing through iTunes is not working properly.

    Since I installed the new OS X Lion, the iCal syncing through iTunes is not working properly.
    When I sync my MacBook Pro with my iPhone and iPad, the events set in both devices (iPhone & iPad) are not transfered to the iCal on my labtop. Events created in both devices are transfered and copied betwen them when I sync them with the iTunes app (through the MacBook Pro) but they are not trasfered/copied into the labtop (iCal). The events created in the iCal (on my MacBook) are tranfered to the devices as two events on same hour. One, with the description created on the iCal, and the other as a New Event (no description). This is happening since I installed the new OS X Lion last week.
    I file a report and talked with an Apple Support Representative, but they could not help me. They have not receive any other reports on this matter. Do someone has confronted this issue. I need to find out how to solve this problem.
