Question about syncing calendar

I want to get my calendar from my iPhone to my iPad. I know that I have to sync it to iTunes first though. The problem is that I don't update the calendar in iCal on my Mac. I just keep the calendar on my iPhone but now I want it on my calendar too. Does syncing go both ways? In order words, will it sync my iPhone calendar to iCal without wiping out the calendar on my iPhone? If so, then I can sync iCal to my iPad. Is that the way it will work? Thanks. Lisa

Syncing calendars/calendar events with a supported application on your computer is a bi-directional or true sync process.
In order to sync your iPhone's calendar and calendar events with your iPad, you need to sync both direct with iCal via the iTunes sync process unless you have a MobileMe account.
If iCal on your Mac does not include any data - no calendar events, before the first sync with your iPhone enter one calendar event in iCal on your Mac. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync, which you want to select. If iCal currently includes any calendar events, you will be provided a merge prompt, which you want to select. If iCal on your Mac includes some old calendar events and you don't want some of the current old calendar events in iCal available on your iPhone, delete the calendar events you no longer need or want from iCal before the first sync.
Follow this by syncing calendar events with your iPad. If your iPad includes any calendar events that were manually entered, you will be provided a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
The same applies to syncing contacts.

8330 Curve question about syncing Calendar to desktop

I have not changed any settings or other issues (as far as I know) but recently my desktop and phone could no longer sync. It hangs up at "Getting Status info from Outlook Calendar." And it hyangs up until I shut the computer down. Can you solve this problem?

Few questions about syncing

Hi,
I have a few questions about syncing. Since this is my first iphone and apple product, I'm not familliar with it. My mother bought the tomtom app for navigation. And she said that it has 3 uses (for 3 different devices). Now the app is in her library on her computer. So if i try to sync with her library, it will erase all my previous apps. How come? Also I'm planning to use a laptop in college so I'll have to sync it with that.
What should I do to keep my apps?

All 3rd party apps - paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to download the app. This is required by 3rd party app developers to prevent people from stealing from them with paid apps. If not for this, you could pay for and download the TomTom app which is not cheap and all your friends and family members with an iPhone could install the app on their iPhone without paying for it, which in effect is stealing.
There is no device limit for the number of iPods and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library on the same computer, but in regards to all iTunes content - music, movies, tv shows, and 3rd party apps, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.

I have a question about the calendar on the ipad2. I have multiple calendars in different colors. Some of the events are filled in with color. Others are just listed with a colored dot in front of the event. Any ideas why events ar showing up differently?

I have an ipad2 and my question is about the calendar. I set up multiple calendars with different colors. Some of the events show up in filled color. Others only show with a colored dot in front of the event. I can't figure out why some show up one way and others show up differently? Any thoughts?

On mine the ones that show on a coloured background are all-day events, the ones with dots and just timed events.

Question about saving calendar and contatcs

Good Morning to all ,
I have a question about how to transfer the calendar and contatcs files to the new outlook profile after a imap migration. So what is the best way to transfer this kind of data before the imap migration for example to prep 70 machines? Any Powershell or
vbs script to save the calendar and contatcs into a pst file?
Thank you in advanced.
Thiago.

So what is the best way to transfer this kind of data before the imap migration for example to prep 70 machines? Any Powershell or vbs script to save the calendar and contatcs into a pst file?
Without knowing Outlook version involved and/or whether there are any additional email accounts configured in any given profile beyond the one being migrated to IMAP - some general comments
#1 - Simply add the same email account as an IMAP account to the same profile. That will result in the "default data file" remaining the same which contains the default "contact & calendar" folders. There is nothing that limits the
same email account to be configured with multiple protocols unless there is a setting that also needs to be set at the server level (i.e. GMail)
#2 - Delete the related "non-Imap" account from the profile - that is has no impact on the data file associated with the account
At a minimum - Contacts/Calendar folders remain as is with the only caveat being that the email folders in the original PST file will contain data which you (your users) may or may not want to completely get rid of (something you may want to check/confirm
beforehand)

A question about the Calendar feature on a Samsung SCH-u410?

I have an older Samsung SCH-u410, and I have a question about using the Calendar feature. I will set an event in the calendar and set a reminder. Then later I will turn the reminder off, but the alarm will still go off. Shouldn't setting the reminder box to off turn the alarm off. Am I forgetting to do something or is there a problem with my phone? Any info will be gratefully appreciated!!!! I can be e-mailed directly at >> personal information deleted <<
Thanks,
Randy

Thank you for your post Junebug. On most phones, turning the reminder off will stop the alarm from sounding. As this is a much older device, I don't have a phone to test. Have you tried removing the calendar event completely? Did you recently purchase this phone or have you had this for awhile?

Question about syncing multiple ipods to one iTunes library

I have an iPod touch (2nd gen Ver 3.1.3) that I sync to my computer. My daughter recently got an iPod touch (2nd gen Ver 4.0) that was under her father's account. I reset her iPod in order to put it under my iTunes store account. Next I synced her iPod with my computer adding only the items she wanted (games mostly and a few songs).
iTunes didn't seem to have a problem with our devices being different versions. So far so good. I have only synced her device once and haven't synced mine since. We have both purchased apps straight to our iPods and they aren't backed up.
My questions are:
1. Before syncing, will I have to go check everything I want every time in iTunes?
2. We use some of the same apps and games. Will the game data and/or app data be written by another players data? Can you tell I'm really just concerned about my TapFish score?
I'm holding off on syncing until I know the answers.

well, it would be better to keep everything checked in your library and instead create separate playlists for each mobile device.

you can use as many mobile devices as you want with a single iTunes library. iTunes treats each device separately.
i have two Nano's, an iPod Touch, and an iPad syncing with the same library.

Question about bb calendar features

hi! i'm a new bb user and i would appreciate any help from bb expects in this forums. here are my questions:
1.) I'm having trouble syncing my calendar events from bb 8900 to google calendar. I've already downloaded the google sync application and it worked fine when i synched my bb phonebook to google contacts but not for my calendar. Everytime, I try to sync my calendar, this message appears "google sync is disabled while the blackberry is updating settings. please try again in 5 minutes."
2.) i put 15 minutes reminder for every item in my calendar but i never hear the reminder alarm go off. not even when i set my profile to normal or loud. i do see a pop up screen thought but i would rather have a reminder alarm like they do in nokia.
3.) I used to be a nokia user for 10+ years. Under their calendar module, I can categorize events like birthdays (and a cake icon appears), anniversary, reminders, etc while in bb, they're all just classified as appointments. Am I missing something?
4.) Finally, when I sign in on my yahoo messenger via bb's IM service, i noticed that i am also immediately signed in when i go to my yahoo mail via browser. now, my dilemma is how to sign out from yahoo mail via browser? because i tried logging out of my yahoo messenger but when i checked my yahoomail, i'm still signed in. plus, i cannot find the sign out link when i'm on the browser version of my yahoomail.
thank you for any help.

I think I can help with the Google calendar part. For this to work, you have to make sure that you schedule the appointment on the right calendar (my BB has a calendar for each email account I have on my BB).
To sync reminders, there is a check mark in the Google Sync options "Sync Reminders"
Conversly to the Google Calendar Sync, if I do set up a calendar appointment on my BB the sync program will have in red text above the syncing information "Another client has added to your calendar...to avoid duplicates those items will not be synced". This makes no sense to me and I haven't tried to figure out why that happens. To get rid of that red text, I have to log out of google sync, let the program delete all previously synced information, and then log in again and sync.

Question about using calendar with Microsoft Exchange

I just recently bought the iPhone5. I used to have a Droid so I am new to the iPhone altogether. I have a 3rd generation iPad as well. I've always used my google calendar on my droid to set up appointments and whatnot on my calendar and I send the invites to my husband so we can sync our calendars. He would then accept or decline and I would get an email notification saying when he did so. Now that I am using the iPad and iPhone calendar, I am super confused. There are so many color coded calendars. I set up the Microsoft Exchange account on both mine and my husbands phone and I set the default calendar to the Gmail Exchange calendar as someone told me to do. I'm very confused by what this is all about and my husband still isn't getting the invitations when I send it to his gmail. However, when I sent it to his aol email address, he did receive an invite but on my calendar it is still showing as "no response". Also, now we are getting emails in 2 different gmail inboxes, one for the exchange and one for just gmail. What's the difference? Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I'm such a newbie and googling isn't helping!
Thanks!!!!

Why to jump from one track to another?
Simply create a folder with all the Channel strip settings and assign two key commands of your choice to navigate forward and backward.
And yes, you can assign that command to a MIDI controller (or pedal) too.
About monitoring have a look at the reference manual page 211.
Before to buy a preamp try using the Hi-Z input from your Edirol.
Anyway, six tracks with six plugins on each track are not an issue for your macbook.

Questions about syncing multiple MobileMe accounts on one iPad

You can set up multiple MobileMe accounts; however, only one MobileMe account at a time can be used for Find My iPad and for syncing contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes. (iPad User Guide p. 32)
Okay.
If you've done this already (created multiple MobileMe accounts on your iPad), can you please tell me how syncing two accounts to one device works in practice?
What prevents the merging of contacts and calendars between two MobileMe accounts and one instance of the Calendar and Contacts apps?
As a matter of functionality, and assuming there is a way to avoid merging this information, how does one access separate calendars and contacts from separate MobileMe accounts in the Calendar and Contact apps?
Thanks!

iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)

Question about syncing two different iPads on 1 iMac?

Hey all, I bought two iPad 2's today (both gifts, 1 for my mom and 1 for my dad). Bought it for them because they're probably too old at this stage for me to teach them to use a desktop efficiently. iPad is so easy for them to use the internet and listen to their music which is most important.
My question is, I don't have an iPad myself nor any iOS devices. Maybe I'll buy an ipad in a few months or so. However I do own the only computer in the house and that's my iMac. I was going to sync both my mom and dad's iPads to my Mac, and put their songs from my iTunes library on their iPads respectively. Will I incure any problems trying to do this?
I don't want my mom and dad's iPads to be identical and I want to sync different pictures and songs and stuff on their ipads. I want it to be their own individually.
What steps should I take to do this? I've never really synced any iOS products before but I pick up on this stuff pretty quickly. Made the transition from a Windows desktop to a Mac easily and would do it all over again!

Question about syncing albums

Is there a way to sync music to an ipod by albums? All I see is artist, playlist, and genre...but what about albums?

There is no option to check off the albums you want to sync. However, if certain albums are important, you can put them into a playlist and sync by playlist. Once they are on the iPod, you can ignore that playlist and access them by album name.

Question about syncing between two computers

I feel a bit silly, because I feel as though I should know this, but I'm not sure because it has never applied to me until now.
My main computer is a Vista machine, and everything is sync'd with that. However, I bought a MacBook last night (WOO-HOO!) to use as a secondary machine, and I'd like to get all of my contact and calendar info into that machine as well.
I'm envisioning the following scenario:
1. I will put at least one contact and at least one calendar event into Mac Mail and iCal in my new, empty MacBook...
2. I will connect my iPhone to sync with the MacBook and iTunes will offer me the magic "merge" option.
3. All of the information in my phone will be sync'd to my new MacBook, and I will have two computers and an iPhone all with the same info.
Are there any holes in my vision? Will this work?
Thanks,
-SB

This should work as provided.
If something goes wrong with the sync process with your MacBook and this data is lost on your iPhone, you have your Vista machine with this data to recover from.
If you aren't already doing so, be sure to create a backup of this data on your Vista machine - contact information and calendar events - which should be done when syncing any device such as an iPhone with such important information stored on your computer.

General question about syncing/photos

maybe this is the most ridiculous question i can ask, but i just can't grasp syncing photos.
say i have photos on my phone and photos in my iphotos and itunes is set up to sync photos with iphoto, will the photos on my phone just be added to my iphoto or will the iphone photo gallery be made to replicate my iphoto gallery?
i have lots of photos on my iphone i would love to separate into different galleries on my iphone.
i've also had an issue where lots of photos seem to have gone missing from my phone after syncing ant they are no where to be found...
i'm just generally not having a fun experience dealing with my photos on my iphone and through iphoto as i never feel like i have full control over where the files end up and how they are moved...

The photo sync process is ONE -WAY - computer to iphone. You go to the photo tab and select the folders/albums that you would like to sync. Those folders/album will be reflected on your iphone ( but in lower resolution) You cannot sync these photos back to your computer. The iphone is NOT a backup device.
Pics taken/saved with iphone ( Camera Roll) should be imported ( as you would import from any digital camera) to your computer regularly. You can then organize and sync them to iphone.
