Sync Address Book and Calendars

I have an iPhone, a PC at work that uses an Exchange server, a PC at home that uses Outlook to POP mail from my personal email account, and an iMac at home that also POPs mail from my personal account.
My iPhone is set up to get mail from both my work (Exchange) account and my personal account.
I have a separate contacts folder at work (Exchange) with personal contacts, and a business contacts folder. I have a single Calendar at work that contains both personal and business information.
My iPhone has both contact folders and the calendar. I would like to be able to sync what is in my iPhone to my work, my personal PC and my iMac. If I make a change at any location, I would like the change to propagate to all other locations. I would also like to be able to see my calendar from all locations.
I started a trial membership to MobileMe yesterday. It created 2 calendar folders on my personal Outlook (Home and Work), but they are both empty. It has not synchronized my contacts. It has also created Home and Work calendars on both my iPhone and in iCal, but again, both are empty.
I did a sync from iTunes in my iMac and my personal PC. I did not do anything with my work PC. My iPhone is setup for Exchange ActiveSync.
Am I missing something, or does the system not have the capability of syncing everything as I had hoped?

Pick one of the two accounts and sign both of them into it?

Sync address book and calendar 8830 with 8130 via DM

I just changed from using an 8130 and now use an 8830. I assumed I could use DM to backup my 8130 and then restore it to my 8830. However, when I do this, many items do migrate, but not 2 of the most important ... my address book and calendar. Both are personal devices and are not linked with any work email server, so that's not the issue. I do notice that in the backup file from my 8130 the address book is called "Address Book - All" and similar with the calendar. However, with the 8830, it is labeled as only "Address Book". I'm wondering if this is the problem? I'm hoping someone can help me get my address book and calendar migrated to my new device.
Thanks!
BTW, I already tried wiping the new 8830 ... that did nothing.

In Desktop Manager, use the application Switch Device Wizard.

What exactly is the process that syncs address book and calendar to google?

I have been syncing with google somewhat successfully for the past 6 months or so, but I am still confused about exactly how it's working.
I have my calendar set up as a caldav account, and it appears to be working fine. I would like to know if calendar still syncs even if the calendar application is not open. I tend to leave it open, but I don't know if that is necessary. Also, I don't understand if calendar has anything to do with isync. I am referring to the little isync icon in the menu bar. Does a caldav account have anything to do with that, or does it sync on its own?
The address book is a little more confusing. From what I have figured out, it only syncs manually by clicking the little isync icon in the menu bar. Is that correct? Is there no way for it to sync automatically like I think caldav accounts do in calendar? Also, I wonder about the application here too. Does the application have to be open for address book to sync with google?
Thanks, I hope someone can explain this a little better!
PS- I am actually running 10.6.8, but don't see an option for that in my product details.

I could sit here and do a bunch of tests, I suppose. I'd have to disable my internet connection before opening the ical and address book applications to see if it syncs without being open. Because I assume it could just refresh upon launching the application. I wish someone could just gice me a clue here. Anyone?

Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB to iPhone or iPad and permits only syncing by iCloud, which I don't want to use. Any ideas on how to sync without using iCloud?

Maverick won't permit syncing Address Book or Calendar by USB cable from my MacBook Air to my iPhone and iPad and permits syncing only by iCloud. Mountain Lion permitted this via the Info tab on iTunes. I don't want to use iCloud. Any ideas with Maverick on how to sync Address Book and Calendar from computer to iPhone and iPad without using iCloud?

ymcneil - thanks for the work around. But isn't it amazing Apple forces us to do this to maintain our privacy.
I live in Australia where there are good privacy laws protecting citizens. I do not want to be forced to use iCloud when the data sits in the USA with weaker privacy laws and also able to be seen by the US Government under the Patriot Act. Further I suspect Apple will interrogate my contacts and calendar for commercial purposes and I do not want that either.
I chose to synch my calendar and contacts with my iphone and ipad. I have relied for years on carrying around my phone with my diary on it. I can no longer do that.
Whoever made this decision at Apple has to be someone who knows little about the world. I can actually see EU regulators getting very annoyed by this.
I too woud like the itunes mac to iphone/ipad local backup given back.
In the meantime - thanks for the work around

Address book and calendar sync from Mac to Google

Hi,
I have a HTC Desire phone and wish to sync my Contacts and Calendar items to it via Google.
I have pulled my Address Book and Calendar from my old p1i phone on to my old Power Book and exported these. I have then imported these onto my Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard.
I now want to sync these up to a Google account.
In my address I have ny contacts and also my girlfriend's. I wish to sync only my Contacts up to Google. Is this possible?
I have tried configuring iCal to sync with Google via calDAV but I am not seeing my Calendar entries in Google (or a way of doing a manual sync from Mac -> Google)
Apologies if these questions have been asked and answered previuosly.

ICloud Address Book and Calendar not syncing. Missing and duplicate entries. Help.

I have duplicate entries in Address Book. I have missing entries on other devices. For calendar it just doesn't sync.
What I've done to try to fix it:
1) I signed out of all my devices from iCloud and MobileMe.
2) I then deleted all the the cache files in Library and any iCloud folders I could
3) I deleted all the address book and calendar entries on each device.
4) Went back and deleted anything in Library and caches.
5) I looked at iClould.com and confirmed they had entries in Address Book and Calendar.
6) Signed back into iCloud on each device.
7) All the devices then began to populate.
Trouble began:
1) Some Address Book entries are missing on devices.
2) iClould has multiple entries for the very missing contacts! All cutting off the notes field at different places!
3) It won't sync the missing contacts present on iCloud but not the device.
Help.

Solved it myself. What I did:
1) I have four Lion OS and two iOS devices.
2) I kept one computer with the complete address book I wanted to start with but disconnecting it from iCloud's Contact sync via Apple Menu > System Preferences > iCloud uncheck Contact Sync
3) Logged into iCloud.com and deleted all the contacts and groups manually ( many keyboard shortcuts worked )
4) On the main computer, using textedit, I replaced semicolons I was using to delimit items in the notes field with backslashes.
5) Once I confirmed all the other computers and devices had no entries in Address Book, on the main computer I turned back on iCloud Contact syncing. It worked. Correct count of entries and no more breaking notes at the semicolons!
6) Immediately all the other iCloud computers and devices updated to the correct notes! Finally.

Can I sync Palm TI with native OS X.5 (Leopard) mail, address book, and calendar?

It's too late for me to return the Palm and I hope I have not wasted my money. Can I sync with the Mac mail, address book, and calendar? Or must I switch over and use the Palm desktop software? Thanks for any clues about how to work with my Mac and the Palm TI.

You could try the missingsync software from www.markspace.com

Two address books and calendars?

My employer gave me a Blackberry Curve 8310. It is set up to sync email (wireless) with my employer's email server which is Lotus Notes.
My personal address book and calander are on MS Outlook, which I used to sync hardwire with my personal desktop.
Can I use two address books and calendars on the Curve 8310, one Lotus Notes for professional items and one MS based for personal items?
TIA. I hope this wasn't too elementary.

How to sync Address Book and iCal with Samsung GT-S5670 (Galaxy Fit) with Android 2.2 running?

How to sync Address Book and iCal with Samsung GT-S5670 (Galaxy Fit) with Android 2.2 running?
Couldn't find any iSync Plug-in nor software for Samsung phones fitting ...
Thanx for any help!

Hello,
if you need to sync your media files as well, you might want to have a look at FoneSync for Android. It features an iTunes like interface and syncs contacts, calendars, music and photos.
Kind regards

Address book and Calendar

I wish to use my iPod mainly as a personal organiser.
At present I keep all my appointments in Calendar within Windows Live Mail and my contacts in Contacts in Live Mail on my Windows 7 PC.
Can I synchronise, or transfer these from Windows to my iPod, if so how?
If this isn't possible, what software should I use in Windows for Calendar and Contacts that can be synchronised with the iPod?
I have Outlook 2002 available, but apparently one needs 2003 or higher to work with the App, and I don't want to spend money on upgrading.
Advice would be appreciated

You can access a Windows Live email account as an Exchange account with the iOS Mail app.
This provides push access for received messages and over the air syncing for contacts and calendar events with your Windows Live online address book and calendar.
