Syncing with a calendar - please help, I'm at my wits end

Hi
I have a PC running windows Vista, which I bought at the end of October. I then bought an iPhone in mid November. Now, if I'd known I would've just bought a Mac , but I have the hardware now and am trying to make it work for me.
I worked out Windows Calendar wouldn't sync with the iPhone, so looked for an alternative. The only thing I could think of doing was signing up for MS Office 2007 (Small business version). I normally use OpenOffice for their Word, Excel and Powerpoint style progs so only really looked to Ms Office to get the calendar working. I have now reached the end of my MS free trial and to upgrade to the full version will cost me over £300, which is ludicruous just to get a calendar to work (the PC only cost £420!). The home and student versions don't have Outlook, so are no good for me.
Can anyone suggest a calendar application I could try? I signed up to MobileMe in the hope this had a calendar, but it comes back to the same problem again.
Help! I'm really cross about this because the guy in the phone shop said I could sync with my PC, but never said I would need specific software!
Please help! There must be something I can do that won't cost the earth!
Thanks, Rebecca x
p.s. I do have an old cd for Office XP. Will this work? Problem with that is Ms Office has now disabled all useful funtions, including save, so I can't get all my emails off before wiping Ms Offic 2007 from my machine and installing Office XP. That will mean a day of printing out emails, etc, so I don't lose anything! Grr!

Google is your friend... I just did a Google search for 'google calendar iphone' and found several sites discussing such. I don't use it but have heard it works well.

Issues With Syncing With Outlook Calendar, Please Help...

Windows Vista
DM 6.0 (latest Version)
BlackBerry Bold 9000 4.6 (Latest version of 4.6 before it came 5.0)
Outlook 2007 Calendar
I am currently have a Intellisync Issue with syncing with my Outlook Calendar.
When I try to go and set it up, it asks me which way I would like to sync (two ways, from BB to outlook, from out look to BB)
When I click on next, this error message comes up. Then the program just crashes and then I get back to the DM 6.0 software.
Anyone can give me pointers on trying to fix this.
Thanks!

FIRST click on “reset settings” (if it is grayed out and does not allow you to reset; just go to next step) Click on Configure settings; check off calendar; as soon as you check it the next screen just pops up It says select a device application; then scroll and select Microsoft Outlook; Click Next and then pick which way you are going to sync If it is the first time just use One way sync from outlook to device. Click next; Click transfer only future items selected; click next then finish; Should see the final screen with top box out of three checked off. Click ok Click sync at bottom right of page. I found that if I went to slow (since I was making this sheet) that I would get the error message sometimes. I would just start over; FIRST ALWAYS RESET SETTINGS; then just follow all the steps again . Then should sync Once it is finished you will be back where you started from It is a good idea to click on Reset settings now before you close out. When you go in again click follow the steps from the top of the page. FIRST click on “reset settings” (if it is grayed out and does not allow you to reset; just go to next step) Click on Configure settings;

Google Calendar, 2-way syncing with Q10. Please help!

Dear Blackberry,
I have just bought a Q10 and have been successfully using Google calendar with 2-way syncing on an old Blackberry Curve 9300, for which I have Blackberry desktop software. I have not yet switched my phone number to the Q10, but have hooked up it up to wifi at home and have managed to sync my contacts and my existing Google calendar on the new phone.
However, I have noticed that the 2-way syncing feature, which i use extensively, is not working now with either phone when I put in appointments. I must have a 2-way sync with Google calendar; in other words, anything put into the phone needs to be synced and backed up in Google calendar.
Please can you suggest and help with this issue!
Thanks,
Pam

ISync WONT Sync with Nokia N95 please help!

HI can anyone help me please!
I'm running OSX 10.4.10 on a Macbook pro.
I have downloaded the N95 plug in. - and run it first.
Paired the two (deleted previous pairing)
Ran iSync (2.4(501.2))to add device which sees the N95 and reports that iSync cannot connect to this device.
What am I doing wrong?
PLEASE help this is frustrating - Ive tried pairing both ways with still no joy!

Hi. I managed to sync my N95 to my iMac by doing the following after downloading the iSync plug in from Nokia.
On the N95 > Menu > Tools > USB > USB mode = PC Suite (I know it's PC Suite- but it syncs for me).
To get photos from the N95 into iPhoto, I changed the USB mode to data transfer.
Good luck with it!

IPod iTunes won't sync with computer iTunes - please help

Hi,
I recently purchased an album on iTunes wireless (Maroon 5 - highly recommended) and when I connected my iPod to iTunes to sync the songs did not transfer to my computer's iTunes. Nothing happened basically.
I've read the manual that says that they should sync automatically but nothing that I've tried works.
My setting is for manual sync and transfer of songs and I would really like to keep it like that since I don't want all my iTunes library to be dumped into my newly purchased iPod Touch. PLEASE HELP
Thanks,
Tal

If you manually manage your music it won't automatically sync your Maroon 5. Connect the Touch, right click on it in the Source frame under devices, then select transfer purchases.

Blue Screen of Death when syncing with iTunes. Please HELP!

I have noticed a few others experiencing this problem as well.
http://www.everythingiphone.com/forum/windows-pc-and-iphone/blue-screen-error-wh en-i-plug-the-phone-into-my-xp-laptop-3038.html
Aside from the (don't use windows XP comments), does anyone have any information on this? I have emailed Apple a couple times but have gotten no answer back yet.
What is happening is that when I plug in my iphone to itunes a "Digital Still Camera" pops up in the system tray and then blue screen of death appears. Some people have said that all you have to do is delete all your photos and it will sync, but does anyone have any other suggestions without having to delete all my photos anytime I want to sync?
Thanks for the help in advance.

The first response was correct, the computer (xps 1210) used a logitech camera driver that I did not recognize so I deleted it. The software was still active and crashed the computer. Fix was reinstall logitech software and driver. Updating the driver would have probably worked. Thank you!

Anyone resolve the isse with iOS6.1 not being able to sync with a available wifi? Not the same issue as with iOS6.0.1.. Very annoying apple!!! I'm wondering also if an update is available.. How are we ment to download it with the use of wifi?

WiFi sync requires that the computer and iOS device be on the same wireless network. Your computer can't be connected to ethernet with WiFi turned off and have your iOS device sync with it over WiFi.

Please Help!!! At wits End!! Flash player problems using full screen mode

Thank you... I have a dual monitor setup with my macbook which is connected to my TV a Insignia NS-LCD47HD-09 model. +When I play flash videos in full screen on my lcd they come in all choppy and unsmooth.+ This problem developed all of a sudden and I have played flash videos on my lcd in the past with no issues, I dont know what changed. I've noticed these flash videos play all smooth on my macbook in fullscreen but not on my lcd. I have tried flash videos form many diffrent sites and have this same problem, also other formats divx for example dont have this problem. A flash video will play all smooth in the regular view and when i make it full screen it gets all choppy without fail on my tv.
I should also say I have the most up-to-date flash player 10, and have tried unistalling it and doing it again, as well as tried putting flash player 9 & 8 on my computer which dont seem to work at all. I have also tried to mess with the displays under system prefrences and am using a 1920X1080 on my lcd with 59.9ghz, none of my other potions seem to make a diffrence.
I have tried everything i can think of and tried to find other fourms for this problem and I just cant figure it out.... Please help, this has been really been bugging me.

Hmm, you may be onto something regarding the repair permissions thing. The authorization issue is happening when even putting together a movie that has more than one song from itms (and if you go to trim it, you end up in an endless loop between iMovie and iTunes— FUN!). There's a whole 'nother thread on it here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1079288&tstart=0
I did report it as a bug however. One other person in that thread was able to duplicate the issue at an Apple store on one of their machines. One would assume they go through the steps you do before installing software (assume tht is).

Vista OP--Curve 8330---no sync with desktop manager---please help

I have tried the following versions of desktop manager, 4.3 from disk and download, 4.5, and 4.7. Each new version was tried after clean reinstall. Vista OP. I click the sync configure. I get the select a devise application window. I click on any one of the choices, and get the following choices:
<None>
ASCII importer/exporter
yahoo
THERE IS NO OPTION FOR VISTA
I have read many suggestions on this message community which basically say try a different version. THAT DOESN'T WORK. Is there anything else anyone has tried that works with Windows Vista?

Desktop Manager does not recognize any bluetooth drivers (stacks) other than the basic Windows Bluetooth Stack. If you have another bluetooth stack in use, you'll need to remove it and let Windows install the basic bluetooth stack. The downside of this is that you loose some of the advanced features that your current bluetooth stack gives...extra speed, etc. However, that's the only way to make bluetooth work with Desktop manager.

Completely not understanding photo sync with itunes .. please help!

With my old iphones, when i plugged in the iphone, the computer would automatically make folders with photos that I took (and there'd be a folder for each date that I took photos), which was very helpful. With iphone 4, that is not happening ... How do I get that to happen? Thanks

You need to check your autoplay settings, on your machine, for iPhone 4. Also setup your "Import Settings" to automatically make folders with photos.

Search function in Reader, please help!!! at wits end!

I have an excel file with multiple columns converted to a pdf.
When using search function in adobe reader how do I get search to
return a line of data from what was column a in excel to column f?
Now it returns partial data from one line and then wraps around
to the next line and returns data from that line also.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

When it goes from Excel to Acrobat, it "prints" the PDF.
As a printed document, Reader knows no cells, columns or rows. Only text.
I've found that if I export an xls to Word and set it in tables, the printing seems to be more compliant when it's printed to PDF and it's easier to work within the original layout's integrity.
That's the extent of what I can offer. I just don't set many excel workbooks to PDF.
Hopefully there's someone else here with more experience doing this.
