Proper synching of iCal and Palm

I have discovered that my Palm Treo 650 does not synch contacts "work" adresses but it will synch the "home" addresses. (Going from iCal to the Palm.)
Does anyone know how to access settings in the conduit to fix this issue?
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
This is a long-standing issue with the iSync Palm Conduit, and it cannot be modified to work around the issue. You might instead take a look at the Missing Sync for Palm OS—with its Mark/Space Contacts conduit—which does not suffer from this, or several other, serious limitations:

  • Synch with ical and google

    I am able to synch wirelessly between touch and google but would also like to synch with ical. When i connect with new mac book and i get a message that says touch is already being synched with exchange server and cannot be synched with ical.
    Ideas greatly appreciated!

    Actually, Free if only using the botton tier service that Apple will be offering.
    If you are just using less than 5GB, it's free. An extra 10GB will cost $20 per year, while an extra 20GB runs $40 / year and an extra 50GB will demand $100 per annum. And yes, Add to that $24.99 if you are using the iTunes match service.

  • Ical and palm desktop - help

    I'm using palm desktop to syn with my palm treo.
    I would like to syn my palm desktop calendar with ical.
    Anybody knows how to do it?
    Thanks!

    You cannot simultaneously synchronize 'conflicting' data types with your Palm device. So, for example, your can…
    • synchronize contacts between your handheld the Palm Desktop, or
    • synchronize contacts between the Address Book and your handheld using iSync, or
    • synchronize contacts between the Address Book and your handheld using the Missing Sync for Palm OS and Mark/Space contacts
    …but, you cannot choose to perform 2 or more of these options. You must pick an environment—the Palm Desktop or the Address Book and iCal—and a program by which to do this—the Palm Desktop, iSync or the Missing Sync for Palm OS.
    The same is true for calendaring and task data. You must choose an environment and an appropriate program to execute and supervise your synchronization events.
    It is possible to cross environments by directing contacts to one, and calendaring and tasks to another, but this is a special application best avoided unless you have a very specific reason for choosing this option.
    So define precisely what it is you want to accomplish, and I will outline the configuration instructions you need to follow. It's also important to know which Treo model you intend to synchronize, as those prior to the Treo 650 present some challenges, and the Palm OS-based Treo 650 and later another set when iSync is the program chosen.
    Any 'advanced' Palm device which uses Palm OS 5.4 or later is better supported by the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and any Palm device which uses the Windows Mobile OS requires the use of third-party software like the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile.

  • ICal and Palm TX no longer syncing properly in 10.4.7

    I have a Palm TX and have always been able to update the calendar on my Palm with the events in my iCal. Now it claims that the sync was successful, but not a thing has changed on either device. I doesn't matter what I choose in the conduit settings, they simply won't update each other, despite the fact that both devices say they did. I've tried resets on the Palm and such, but no luck. And there is absolutely no useful information on the Palm site. Even when you try to get Mac info, you are often directed to Windows articles and such. Everything worked until I updated to 10.4.7. Anyone familiar with this?

    So I'm not the only one!!!
    I have the exact same problem. I have a new MacBook, iPod, and Palm TX. I set them all up (using Missing Sync for the TX, and iTunes for the pod), and everything worked like a champ until one day I opened iCal and discovered it had dumped everything (ALL calendars), so I recreated the calendars & events (didn't have a backup yet), and since then, both Missing Sync and iTunes both show the old (now non-existent) calendars to sync -- not any of my new calendars are avaliable in either program's menu to sync.
    I too have emailed MarkSpace (no answer yet) thinking it was originally a Missing Sync issue, but then discovered that iTunes was doing the same thing, so the problem must be in iCal? My updated Address Book contacts sync on both the TX and the iPod like a champ, so the issue must be with iCal I guess...
    Glad to hea I'm not the only one who's run into this; thanks in advance for any ideas!

  • Synching with ical and outlook?

    Hi, just wondering if it's possible to synch my iphone 4 cal with my work (PC) MS outlook cal? I can send all my appointments to myself at home and then manually add them into ical & do it that way, but that seems clumsy.
    Can I synch to two different systems?
    Thanks

    So if I don't have a mobile me account, the only way I can do it is to install iTunes on the PC, is that right?

  • ICal and Palm Tungsten E2

    I am about to pick up my new IMac from the tech support people and I want to know if I can use my Palm Tungsten E2 with ICal. Where can I find out how to move my Pam files to the new computer? They dont seem to have a clue.

    I'm certain that your issue has nothing to do with the SD card you inserted in your device, and likely nothing to do at all with pTunes. The errors indicate a fundamental problem with the Sync Services framework. You can apparently initiate a session, and pull changes, but not complete the remainder of a typical five-step synchronization session.
    Take a look at this document for an overview of what should happens when you synchronize:
    http://developer.apple.com/macosx/syncservices.html
    You can reset the truth database—a process which will reinitialize the framework and make it appear as though you have never synchronized before—simply by launching iSync, opening the Preferences… dialog and pressing the Reset Sync History button. That will not affect the data stored in any applications, or on any devices or servers, and will not unregister any sync clients. Once you've done that, attempt to synchronize again.

  • Help!  how to sync iCal and Palm?

    Hi out there...I recently turned back in my Palm Treo 680 and bought an iPhone. I want to sync my Palm data with iCal. There is information out there about how to do this if you still have the handheld device, but I don't, I only have the Palm files on my desktop machine. Does anyone have information about how to successfully sync between Palm and iCal given this situation? Thanks!

    I you had been synchronizing your Treo 680 using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit, you're set: simply synchronize your iPhone using iTunes and your contact and event data will flow to it from the synchronization database.
    If you had been synchronizing your Treo 680 using the Palm Desktop, then launch that application, select the Address List option under the View menu, then Export… under the File menu.
    Name your export file and pick a location to store it, then be sure that the following settings read…
    Module: Addresses
    Items: All xxxx Addresses
    Format: vCard
    Then press the Export button.
    To export your event data, select any Datebook option under the View menu, then Export… under the File menu.
    Name your export file and pick a location to store it, then be sure that the following settings read…
    Module: Datebook
    Items: All Datebook Items
    Format: vCal
    Then press the Export button.
    Double click on each exported file to auto-import your contacts into the Address Book and your events into iCal.

  • Synching Zire 31 with both Outlook 2003 and Palm Desktop

    I use Outlook at work but not at home so I synch my Zire 31 with Palm Desktop at home.  It works fine synching with both.  I like the Memos and Tasks features better on Palm Desktop, so I would like to use them at work. I'd like my Zire to Synch at work with Outlook for some features (i.e. Contacts and Calendar) but with Palm Desktop for others (i.e. Memos and Tasks). 
    When I use the setup CD, it asks if I want to synch with "Palm Desktop" or with "Outlook and Palm Desktop".  Based on this, it sounds like I should be able to choose the 2nd one and synch with Outlook and Palm Desktop, but I can't get it to do that.  When I choose that option and then go into Custom for synch setup, the only options there are for Outlook.  How can I get it use Palm for Memos and Tasks?
    Post relates to: Zire 31

    Hi..  Welcome to the Palm forums.  What it is asking is, for Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Memos do you want them to sync with palm desktop OR outlook?   Its all four or nothing.  When it is both what it means is if you sync with outlook, calendar, contacts, tasks and memos will sync to outlook all others, media, all your settings etc will go to palm desktop.  The main 4 can NOT be seperated its all or nothing.

  • How can I migrate from Outlook 2011 to iCal and Apple Address Book in Mavericks now that synching is no longer possible?

    Now that I am on Mavericks and no longer able to sync between my iPhone/iPad and Outlook 2011 on my MacBook Pro, I'm finally taking the leap (which I should have done long ago) and abandoning Outlook 2011 all together (doesn't help that Outlook now prompts me to rebuild by Identity multiple times per day). I am hoping to export from Outlook to iCal, Address Book, etc, but I would love it if someone could check my steps.
    Delete iCal and Apple Address Book content -- Because I have old data in iCal and Address Book (that was synched before I upgraded to Mavericks), I planned to delete this data as follows:
    Manually deleting my multiple calendars in the iCal app
    Go to Go>Home>Library>Calendars and drag "Calendar Cache" to trash
    Go to Go>Home>Library>Caches and drag "com.apple.iCal" and "com.apple.AddressBook" to the trash
    Go to Go>Home>Library>Application Support and drag "Address Book" to the trash
    Export Outlook 2011 Calendars to iCalIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into iCal? I will use this file format to individually export each of my calendars from Outlook 2011 and import them into iCal.
    Export Outlook 2011 Contact List to Apple Address BookIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into Apple Address Book?
    Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi acs4055,
    As per your query I found a relevant solution for resolving this,  actually I haven’t tried the steps you wrote here in your query.  But I found a solid key answer for exporting from Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.1) Outlook 2011 to iCal for Apple mail. This is possible through Drag and Drop method via this you can undoubtedly migrate Outlook 2011 Calendar to ical format.
    Hope it will assist you and you will be able to attain a desired solution.

  • ICal and iPod Touch won't synch

    I have an iPod Touch (OS 4.0) that I had been synching with my iCal (4.0) through iTunes (9.2.1) on my Mac (OS X 10.6.4). I am the only user of all of these. I have 5 calendars in iCal. Several problems have started occurring (many months after purchasing the Touch and synching it successfully):
    (1) The synch crashes without doing anything if I try to synch multiple calendars.
    (2) I can synch just one calendar, but then it replaces whatever calendar was already there (using straight-forward synch, not the Advanced option of replacing calendars
    (3) Using Advanced - replace information on this iPod does nothing (i.e., no calendars are transfered to the iPod
    (4) I reset everything: completely reset my iPod (more than once, including giving it a new name), reloaded iCal, reloaded iTunes. Removed Calendar cache. Same problems.
    (5) Another issue: Later, I gave my calendars new names, and now iTunes still lists the old calendars as well as the new ones in its "selected calendars" list.
    I'm at a loss as to what I should do, but I need my calendar to synch properly. On a day-to-day basis, it's the software I use most.

    The genius people at the Apple Store solved the problem. First, I needed to tell iSync to reset its history (in iSync Preferences). Then they reset my iPod. Now it "sees" only the calendars in my iCal, and it syncs them correctly.
    I was also told that repeated calendar entries (I use lots of them for weekly meetings) can also generate problems.

  • How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?

    Hello,
    How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?
    I have a Palm Tungsten E handheld which just died.
    Luckily, all my data is backed-up on my Palm Desktop V4.2.1.
    I just bought an iPod-Touch, so I would like to easily transfer
    all my data (Addressbook, Calendar, etc) from the Palm Desktop
    on my Mac (OSX 10.5) to the equivalent Mac applications
    (Address Book, iCal) which will then allow me to view and update
    them on my iPod-Touch.
    How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    David

    Hi David. The contact information is straightforward. Bring up your Address List in Palm Desktop, then select Export under file. You pick vCard as the format, and save the resulting file where ever. In Address Book, you then select Import --> vCards under file. You may need to edit things like birthdays by hand afterwards.
    I am still working on the Calendar information.

  • Synch iCal and Address Book on my 20G iPod

    I used to be able to load the contents of my calendar (iCal) and Address Book onto my iPod before a trip. Today I found that it no longer works.
    iTunes still synchs my music files but not the rest. It "doesn't see" the contents of Address Book for instance (Message: No contacts available) and asks me if I want to open it and add a few names. Same with Calendar.
    If I open either Address Book or iCal, the files open fine with all their content.
    Any suggestions? I am preparing for a new trip...

  • How to export Date book and Address book from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book?

    I have my calendar information and addresses stored in Palm Desktop date book and address book, respectively. I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everytime I try to export the date book or address book to my desktop using the vCal format, the Palm desktop crashes. My goal is to export all my data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book on the Apple OS (10.6.1). Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do this or do I just have to start from scratch and manually enter the data from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book? I looked at the Missing Sync software, but I don't think this will do the trick. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store didn't offer any solutions either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Post relates to: Palm V

    Hello tay8000m and welcome to the Palm forums.
     Have you tried running the "Repair Disk Permissions" command in Apple's Disk Utility application yet?  Launch Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" from the left side of the window, and then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
     After the utility has run, try launching Palm Desktop again and then exporting your data as vCard or iCal files.  If the exports aren't working for you, you can always export the data as comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that into the Apple apps you want to use.

  • TS4062 we have 2 different iphones. When we are synching, the contacts and ical interfere and we end up by having all our contacts and ical info mixed together.

    we have 2 different iphones 4 and iphone 4s. Why when we are synching, the contacts and ical interfere and we end up by having all our contacts and ical info mixed together?

    Well are you syncing them with the same acount?  Are you syncing them to the same source?  If you are both syncing the iCal on the same computer then you are going to end up sharing all the entries.  You need two differnt AppleId's and user ID on the comuter you are syncing to if you want everything to stay seperate.

  • Ical, Missing Sync and Palm Treo 680

    Most of 2007 was spent trying to get my Palm Lifedrive to Sync with iCal using Missing Sync version 5 thru 6. One day it was fine six days it was not. Nothing I have found to be more infuriating and frustrating as trying to sync my Palm with my Computer.
    So, with the arrival of Leopard and the much promised improvements to Sync Services I decided to perform a Clean Install of Leopard on my Powerbook, and run just a few apps on my Powerbook leaving the rest on my new Mini Mac. At the same time I decided to upgrade my Palm Lifedrive to a Palm Treo 680. So, New OS, New Palm, Leopard ready Missing Sync.
    1st Sync was spot on. All my data downloaded from .Mac for iCal and AB, sync'ed wonderfully with my Palm Treo. That was on January 7th. Since then iCal absolutely refuses to refresh. And already I am beginning to feel that 2008 and Syncing will be as frustrating as 2007.
    Why cannot MarkSpace sit down with Apple and iron out all the crap. For the last couple of days I though I would see if iCal was not communicating with SyncServices by using Entourage. But this only synced with AB and did not touch iCal. To do this I had to use iSync and during the first sync only 144 of 1456 addresses were left on my Palm! iCal - no change!!
    So I dumped iSync/Entourage and went back to Missing Sync own Conduits. I got my AB entries back but absolutely nothing from iCal
    When I wiped my Powerbook, I cloned the hardrive. Whilst routing around, I found a folder called FileServices in ~libray. This folder was over 12gig in size. What is this folder for and why was it so big? This could explain why my Backup Sets were getting increasing larger than my actual Hardrive even though I was peforming just a daily incremental backup!
    Back to iCal. Is there any reason why iCal will not refresh after a so called successful sync with my Treo 680 via Missing Sync v6.0.2?

    You might have better luck getting support at Mark/Space the makers of the program. http://support.markspace.com
    I did briefly look around there and found this article, not sure if its related to your issue or not.
