Email services that can sync contact and calendar ...

Hi,
I am thinking to changing my email address from Hotmail to either Ovi mail or GMX mail. Gmail is out of the question as I prefer to stay away from Google.
Does any of these email services are capable of syncing contacts and calendar with Nokia E6? Mail for exchange only works with Hotmail?
If Ovi mail or GMX works which one would you prefer? Another free email service is also welcome
Thanks

In the Calendar app itself, you can control which integrated calendars are reflected and acted upon. With the calendar app running, pull down from the top and select "Manage"...tic on or off those calendars so that only what matters to you is showing on the device.
The event you have cited is likely an automatic holiday insertion...you have to manage the source of that insertion if you want to change what it does with the individual calendar. It's not a duplicated event...it's you showing, on your device, 3 calendars that all happen to have the same holiday event on them. If you suppress a calendar, that event will not show on your device...if you change (on the server) how that calendar handles holidays, that would effect how it shows on your device (if you keep that calendar showing on your device).

Can I still manually sync contacts / cal in iTunes with iCloud on?

My wife likes to sync her iPhone contacts and calendar manually with Outlook / iTunes. Despite my suggestion that she convert to Goggle contacts or another wireless sync option, this is how she is comfortable doing it so she wants to leave it as is. Well I just got her an iPad and want both devices to have the same contact and calendar data? So I decided to turn iCloud Contact and Calendar syncing on (I started with just Contacts) through the iPhone settings.
Her contacts now appear on both devices (iPhone and iPad) but I was confused as to what happens to the way she traditionally syncs. For example I added a test contact in Outlook and then manually synced the iPhone w/ iTunes. That new contact appeared on her iPhone but now there are two Contact Groups on her phone - "iCloud" and "From My Computer". From My Computer has just the one test contact I added while iCloud has all the rest (which were originally all fomr my PC). And the new test contact was never synced to the iPad. So it appears that by turning Contacts on in iCloud, it essentially converted her "From my Computer" contacts over to iCloud.
Have to say I'm a little confused. I was hoping that we could keep the legacy relationship where my wife manually syncs her iPhone with Outlook / iTunes and then through iCloud have it backup whatever she pulls over from her Computer to the Cloud and then send it to all her devices (iPad in this case).
Any ideas for how I can acomplish this?
Thanks,

I solved my problem eventually by getting all the devices - 2 iphones, the newish pc and the older Mac on icloud.
All media, calenders and messages were lost from the iphones, except for purchased itunes that I paid another $30 to Apple to save for me and also paid Appple some more to use icloud but the good news is I did save my contacts
I opened all of my contacts and pretty much had to edit and drag them over almost individually as they weren't all in some sort of configuration that Apple liked - i.e. if an email address ended in ch or es or de it might not be accepted as a properly configured vcard.
It would be nice if Apple made it a litle easier when you have older devices and need to get them in sync with newer ones.

How can sync Contacts on My Mac with my Icloud Contacts?

Does anyone know how can set up a sync between "Contacts on My Mac" and my "Icloud Contacts"? I am looking to get a complete copy in both locations. Is there a way to do it in the OS or any reliable third party software? Any help is much appreciated... thanks!

Outlook for Mac is not compatible with iCloud. The only people who can fix this are Microsoft, who, so far, refuse to support the industry standard CalDAV and CardDAV protocols iCloud uses in their Mac products.
Microsoft would prefer you use their own proprietary syncing solution - Exchange - to sync with Outlook.
Although Microsoft don't support open sync protocols, Apple do support both open and closed protocols so Macs, iPhones and iPads all support syncing with Microsoft Exchange, as well as with iCloud, Google Sync and others.
If you insist on using Outlook for Mac, you'll have to switch over to a Microsoft Exchange based system to sync with your iOS devices.

Can I sync contacts and calendars with iTunes Match enabled?

I’m getting an iPhone in a couple of weeks and really want iTunes match but the more I read about it the more I’m wondering whether it’ll be worth the hassle. I’ve loads of old CD rips at 128 kbps and protected iTunes files, also at 128 kbps, and what really attracts me is the idea of upgrading all these to unprotected 256 kbps.
I have a Macbook for personal use and a PC for work, being able to sync both computers to the phone will be essential for me. I know that I wouldn’t be able to sync music with iTunes match enabled but if I can sync contacts and calendars and drag Office documents to the phone from both computers that would be OK.
Please could someone tell me whether this would be possible?

I think I understand now, it's nothing to do with syncing music - everything is synced through iTunes. Have I understood properly?
Yes. Including music.

This could be a major blow for me as I'll be using the iPhone mainly for work so I will have to Sync with the PC. If I understand this correctly, once I decide to sync with Outlook on the PC as the main priority I can no longer sync with the Macbook?
What if I ditch iCloud and sync everything through USB?
If it is possible for you to do so you might want to consider signing up for an iCloud account <http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html>. Keep in mind that iCloud and iTunes Match are seperate services. One does not require the other. However iCloud will work with Outlook 2007 and up so you can keep all your contacts in sync across the devices. You can also sign up for iTunes Match if you want. Or you might even consider using Google to do what you want. It is not necessary for you to keep syncing via USB, unless that is just what you are comfortable doing.

Can the ipad sync contacts to a droid x

I would like to know if you can sync contact info to a droid x phone.

If you have your contacts in a Gmail account and youngest up the Gmail account as an Exchange account on your iPad and it's the same Gmail account you're using on your Droid, the contacts will all stay in sync.

I still cannot sync my PC with iCloud.

I still cannot sync contacts and calendar in Outlook with iCloud. I have requested support from Apple 7/9/13. Apple Engineers have not responded with a solution. I have been bugging a Senior Tech frequently. Can anyone help? What are my options?

You shouldn't need your Recovery Key to force a Sync with the Sync Server, once Sync is set up on the device. <br />
Is Sync set up on that device? If so, can't you use '''''Sync Now''''' menu item under the Tools menu or the orange Firefox button? <br />
Are you using multiple devices on that Sync account? <br />

Taking FOREVER to sync contacts and calendar with 3G, Itunes8, Leopard

I recently switched from the original iPhone to the 3G model. No problems. Happy with the phone. I also recently "upgraded" to iTunes 8.0. Not happy.
I have about 500 contacts on my computer (running iCal and MS Entourage) and hundreds of appointments in my calendar. It used to take maybe 10 min to sync my phone and macbook pro. now it has been running 45 min and is STILL synching the calendar.
what the heck is going on? anyone else having this problem? Also, I recently (yesterday) upgraded to 10.5.5 but this was happening on 10.5.4 also.
I'm stumped, and I haven't got time to look at this stupid "synch" message all day.
thanks

Any way I can sync contacts and calendar between the imac and laptop on the same home network without using icloud
Not unless you upgrade the iMac to Lion v10.7.2 first.

Syncing Contacts and Calendar with 2 PCs

I am trying to make the decision between in iPhone and a WinMo device (HTC Fuze). Right now, there are two points which I need to resolve. One is a physical keyboard. The Fuze wins obviously, but I might reconsider based based on a satisfactory answer to the following second point.
It is critical to me to be able to easily sync Calendar and Contacts between my work PC and my home PC.
For work, I would be syncing Outlook e-mail, calendar and contacts through Exchange with wireless ActiceSync. I do not have iTunes on my work PC and do not care about syncing e-mail.
At home, I have an XP machine with Outlook and iTunes. I realize that I would have to physically connect the device to my home PC.
I have been having difficulty determining from the support forums if I can sync just the Calendar and Contacts between the iPhone and my home PC, with changes reflected both on my home PC and in my work e-mail account (both on the iPhone and in Outlook/Exchange.
I know that I can do this on the Fuze or any other WinMo device. I do not want to have to use any other third-party apps such as Plaxo or Yahoo to do this. I would use MobileMe, but again - the support forums are confusing as to whether this would work. The Apple site indicates that MobileMe will not work with Exchange via ActiceSync, but is not clear whether I could still use it to keep my home PC (which does not use Exchange) synced with my iPhone even though it connects to Exchange via ActiveSync.
Confused yet? Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

When acessing an Exchange account via ActiveSync or a MobileMe account with the iPhone's mail client, you can sync contact info and calendar events over the air, or you can sync contact info and calendar events direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process. You can't do both at the same time.
You can sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time with contact info and calendar events kept seperate - using Exchange for business only and MM for personal.
If you sync contact info and calendar events over the air with your Exchange account, your home PC will be left out of the Exchange sync process unless you access your Exchange account with Outlook on your home PC.

Hello darkhawk,
Thank you for the recommendation. I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.
