Palm pre sync with Google tasks?

Hello, I am thinking about upgrading my Centro to a Palm Pre versus a Google Android phone. I am leaning towards the pre but for one issue. I know that it is easy to sync Google calendars, but what about syncing Google tasks? I saw some old posts that said you can't do it, but am wondering if it is now supported.

Hello.  I am new to the forum and might not be here long if a couple issues can't can't be fixed.
1.  As an ADHD adult, the tasks list is by far the most important application on a Palm for me.   I synchronized all my data from Palm Desktop 6.22 to my brand new Pre and there are a couple problems.  One, I can't figure out how to do recurring tasks.  On the Centro it was simple.  Just enter something like "feed the fish"  and set it to redo three days after task was completed.  I see no settings like this .  How can I get recurring tasks back?
2.  I used to have categories on my Palm Centro task list.  For example, as a teacher, I had school tasks, a grocery lists, a Home Depot list, etc.  These categories disappeared after I synced to my newly created Google account.
3.    This is pretty similar to number two.  I used to have categories for memos.  Categories for passwords, categories for college stuff, categories for fantasy baseball stuff, etc.  Now, they're gone.  How do I get them back.
4.  More memos questions.  How come some of them show the details and then starting at the letter P, I just see sticky notes with one or two letters?  WHat is that about?  How am I supposed to know  what those memos are?  How do I fix this?
I've been a Palm Use for well over a decade, but if Palm can;t fix things like this, well, then I guess I'll give up on 'em and get a Droid like my wife.  However, Palm has helped me organize my life for so long I'd like to stay with them.  Are there any fixes for these problems, either via setting on the phone, apps, or anything else?  Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Palm Pre no longer syncing with Google Calendar

    I've had my Pre for 4-5 weeks, and when I first got it, I configured the calendar to sync with my Google calendar.  Everything worked fine.  At some point, it stopped syncing.  If I add something to the calendar through Google, I don't see it on my Pre and if I add an event on the Pre, it never shows up on Google.  Obviously I tried the sync now option to no avail.  I'm not sure if this happened around the V1.1.0 update or not.  Is anyone else having issues syncing with Google Calendar?
    Thx,
    Brett

    Hello Bartman,
    You may want to try removing and re-adding the gmail account to the Pre.  If this doesn't work, try creating a test gmail account and add it to the Pre.  This will tell you if it is your email account or the Palm Pre.
    Let us know what happens....
    Thanks,

  • Sync OSX Reminders with Google task and OSX Notes with Android's Memo

    Hi all!
    I have recently moved to OS X and I was wondering if there is a way to sync Reminders with Google Task and Notes with Android's Memo. I can see the question has been asked in past for a different OS X (I'm on Maverick) but I couldn't find a solution that works.
    I have currently my Calendar sync'ed with Google Calendar: if I choose "Accounts..." in Reminders I can tick "Mail", "Contacts", "Calendars", "Messages" and "Notes" but I can't see "Tasks".
    Is there a way to set this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Cheers for that BikeMystery. So yeah, if you mainly use Google Services then the only way to get Reminders and Notes syncing between OSX ML and your iOS deviceis to activate Notes and Reminders under iCloud and create an @me address and an iCloud calendar. That's a bit pants really.
    If you do have an Exchange or Yahoo! account set up in Mail, Contacts & Calendars does that allow Notes & Reminders to sync with iOS without iCloud?

  • Bug in webOS sync with Google

    When syncing with Google Contacts, I just noticed a bug:
    When importing "Title" and "Company" fields, webOS is incorrectly converting the first letters of EVERY word to capitals in both fields.  While this may SEEM correct, it is not and can have undesired effects:
    Example:
    Company: "Bellevue Supports and Services Center" (as entered into Google Contacts on their web site)
             becomes: "Bellevue Supports And Services Center" (in webOS after syncing)
    Title: "Food and Nutrition Services Manager" (as entered into Google Contacts on their web site)
            becomes:  "Food And Nutrition Services Manager" (in webOS after syncing)
    Separately, many fields supported on both Google Contacts and webOS ("Spouse," for example) are not being synced.   This is a separate issue from above and should be corrected as well.  I would guess that the same thing needs to be investigated on Yahoo and other services synced with webOS. Someone at Palm should go through each field on supported sync services (Google, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc) and verify that all are properly linked to the corresponding webOS fields.
    I realize these are two SEPARATE issues, but thought I'd combine them into one posting.  
    Thanks.

    I have not noticed the first issue, but I agree that the second issue is a big problem and should be addressed.  I raised this in an earlier thread and someone responded that Palm was aware of it but does not know when/ if it will be addressed:
    http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=Synergy&message.id=6910#M6910
    I'd also like to be able to move/transfer contacts from one account to another in the same way we can in the Calendar application (i.e., but moving an entry from Palm Profile to Google, for example), but currently we cannot do that -- the only option is to re-enter it under the new account.  Very annoying.

  • ICal is no longer syncing with google calendar

    I keep getting the error that the url is incorrect when syncing ical with google calendar. It just stopped working today for some reason!
    When I look at the settings I see it adds an extra / at the end of the server path. When I delete that it syncs ok once only and then reverts back to the same problem! Help as I use this calendar to sync with google calendars on my imac so that i have the same calendar on my android phone!

    the same is happening to me.
    All my cals have been syncing just fine. Upgraded my iphone os5. upgraded lion on laptop. And for some reason, now i'm opening ical today and trying to edit, i am suddenly getting URL errors. Also i cannot find a way in the new ical (with lion) to unsubscribe from things.
    My iphone seems to be updating ok as it's syncing from the google cal server... but if i want to add or edit anything to my google cals in ical, it's not letting me do anything.
    Any ideas anyone ?

  • Deleting event in iCal 5.0.1 not syncing with Google Calendar

    When I delete an event from iCal, it does not sync with Google Calendar.  However, when I create an event in iCal, it syncs just fine with Google Calendar. Creating and deleting events from Google Calendar syncs fine with iCal.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    12/13/2011 - call to google tech support
    Recent support call with Google: iCal deleting events still broken.  this is big for us.  We have users that have accounts for and/or subscribe to multiple calendars, and took a while to teach them to use iCal, so web based calendars will be foreign to them (even though I like the web based).  There is no timeline in place according to Google Tech Support.  I feel like the issue is really Apple's issue, so Google is waiting on them to fix, this type of urgency(or lack of) is right up their alley.  Oh well.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on alternate calendar apps for Mac?  Specifically for google calendars?
    "Regarding the issue about not being able to delete Google Calendar events within iCal, as mentioned it is a known issue which unfortunately we don't have a time frame to offer you.

  • Ios 7 calendar failing to sync with google

    I updated to ios 7 and now getting strange results in calendar
    Events I create on google calendar on pc show up on my phone, but updates are slow
    Events I delete on my phone delete on pc google calendar fairly instantly
    Events I create on Siri or in the Calendar native app however will not appear on my pc.  They never seem to sync with google calendar.  They do appear on my phone until there is a change to my google calendar at which time they disappear on my phone.  Creating any event on the pc will destroy phone created events.
    I was getting 2 way sync on ios 6 and am confident that I have my calendar settings correct.

    I have the same issue.  Does not sync from iPhone 5 or iPod Touch 5th generation to Google Calendar.
    What's interesing is that it does work on my iPad mini - must be something different in the builds between the iPhone and iPad.
    Is there a place to submit bugs to Apple on IOS7 ?

  • IPhone will no longer sync with Google calendar

    3 days ago my IPhone 4 stopped syncing with Google Calendar. I'm not aware of making any changes. I've done homework & and followed these steps:
    -- Synced with ITunes: not syncing with ICloud; not syncing calendar
    -- redone the Google Mobile setup procedure for my IPhone
    -- limited my IPhone Calendar choices to only Google, i.e nothing checked for "All on my IPhone"
    -- Set the time zone to Houston
    Nothing doing. There are other folks with this problem, but 1 or more of the above worked for them...
    Any ideas? I sure appreciate any help.

    After installing iPhone 3.0 and iTunes 8.2 several weeks ago, my Outlook calendar sync stopped working. I have tried every hint or trick I could find to no avail. The iTunes SW never reports errors, and I cannot determine just where the SW problem exists. I have cleared my iPhone contents and performed a restore/reset from iTunes. I re-installed iTunes several times, including the latest version (8.2.1.6) today, but nothing works. I spoke with an Apple Expert with no success; pleasant and empathetic, but with no troubleshooting skills. He suggested a replacement iPhone, which makes little sense to me.
    I have a colleague at work whose Outlook calendar sync also stopped working after installing the latest SW. Does anyone have insight in this situation?

  • Address Book sync with Google

    I updated my system software to 10.6.4 when the upgrade was released recently and have run into a strange glitch. My Address Book had been set up to sync with Google (in Preferences>Accounts) in previous versions of the software, and it worked without a hitch. After the system software upgrade, however, the sync no longer works. When I check the box next to 'Synchronize with Google', update an address, and then quit, the Address Book forgets the preference and unchecks the box. The result is that when I restart Address Book and go to the preferences, the Google sync box is unchecked.
    I've searched around various help forums looking for a fix to this, but have yet to find any workaround.

  • Address Book Sync with Google Contacts across computers (instead of iCloud with Lion)?

    I am trying to get ready for the port to iCloud and i am going to do this while still on Snow Leopard per Roger Wilmut's fantastic documentation. It appear to me I will simply lose Bookmark Sync (until I move to Mountail Lion) which is a small(ish) price to pay to not have to deal with an upgrade at the moment.
    The question I am hoping to answer is if it will be possible to SYNC MY CONTACTS across my devices (MacBookPro, MacPro and iPhone) using the Sync with Google Contacts Option in Address Book Preferences.
    Does anyone know if checking this option will put these contacts on both of my Machines and on my iPhone?
    ALSO, does anyone know if it is possible to put the ADDRESS BOOK CONTACTS in one folder and the GOOGLE CONTACTS in another folder so they don't all get mixed up together?
    TIA

    I can't even get manual Google syncing to work with iCloud enabled. Without iCloud, everything works fine.

  • Why are my contacts on ipad not syncing with google contacts?

    I am new to apple.  I cannot populate the Contacts
    app on my iPad2.  I see no options to sync with google contacts.  Please advise.  Thanks!

    Thanks Meg, this works, at least in part.  Now the Contacts app populated, but only with 99 contacts, hardly all of them.  Do you know how to get all my Google contacts to sync?
    Also, should I delete the Gmail account I had previously set up on the iPad now that I have set up as an Exchange account?

  • I'm having problems with syncing my iphone 4s calendar with google calendar.  google calendar will sync with phone but phone calendar won't sync with google calendar.

    I can't get my iphone 4s calendar to sync with google calendar.  I can sync the other way i.e from google to iphone.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    You need to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    If you don't do this per the instructions included with the link, all iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync. If you haven't transferred photos from your old computer to your new, any photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your previous computer will be erased when selecting to transfer any photos from your new computer.
    Not sure how cancelling a sync with iTunes and importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll with iPhoto could have an effect on your GPS reception and location services.

  • Will the Palm TX sync with my macbook 10.5.1 osx??

    I need to buy a palm and I am interested in the Palm TX.  It does not say that it supports MAC 10.5.1, so will I not be able to sync it to my computer?  What is the best option when looking for a palm to sync with my mac??  I appreciate any advice!
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Just noticed your post to the subject issue. I have not been able to use my Palm TX since I switched from my old G4 to my new Intel Mac running OSX 10.5.2. I do not understand what you meant by "Mark/Space Missing Sync for Palm OS". Does this mean it is possible to sync my address book and calender without using of the antiqued Palm Desktop?

  • Contact Sync with Google and/or iCloud?

    i am trying to finalize a sync of my contacts so that i have PHONE NUMBERS sorted in groups on my iPhone but i /also/ have email addresses to use in the autocomplete function in Mail on my phone.
    if i don't have the Phone Numbers sorted into groups i will not be able to find anything and if i don't have emails in the autocomplete then i have to literally run a search in (what i have found to be a weak search function on the iPhone in Mail) then i have to find an email sent from this person, then i have to COPY the address than i have to paste it into an email.
    i /currently/ have a sync using iCloud of my MOST IMPORTANT phone numbers and the "Previous Recipients" email data that i have run a applescript to get into AB/Contacts. So now the phone numbers and this Previous Recipients data is available to all devices.
    i won't bore you with the details but i am finally uploading everything else (business cards etc, etc) to Google Contacts.
    does anyone have any suggestions at this point as to whether i can ADD a sync with Google presumably by checking something in iTunes OR whether there is a way to add a GMail as a Microsoft Exchange Account?
