What are other good desktop calendars for mac besides iCal?

I hope I'm not being inappropriate asking this question in the iCal forum...but I'm switching over from my palm desktop calendar and try as I might, I just don't like the iCal calendar. I don't find it user friendly. I find it clunky. The Todo list doesn't work for me. Naming an event has too many steps involved.
Interesting, because I like the address book app, but not iCal.
Does anyone have any good ideas? Sunbird on Firefox was even more complicated.
I want easy to use and easy to read and very easy to look up quickly.
Oh, the reason I'm switching from Palm to something else is because my palm died of course and I just got an iPod Touch so I would love to end up with something that syncs with Mac desktop and my iPod Touch.
Thanks,
Myles

I am currently researching this problem but need some help with it too. I have been a faithful mac user for 14 years and have learned to love the easy interface, attractive screens, colorful graphics (of events), plentiful fields (address book) and feature rich palm (formerly Claris) calendar and address book.
When I encountered ical and address book, I found that the features were clunky, the customized fields more limited and the whole interface less adept. I kept to the Palm. As of May 10, 2009, I have and ipod touch. I have proved often to myself that the ical and address book format won't work for me. I can't even import some of the fields I use often for my business.
If you hear of improvements to the current software, a new app that has both a desktop and ipod app, or discover a way to sync the touch to the palm software I am eager to make my ipod more functional as a personal manager.

  • What are some good MMORPG's for Macs?

    I am getting WoW, and I was also wondering if that'd run well on a 1.5GHZ Intel Mac mini with a 256kbit/sec conneciton. So, what are some other good, popular MMO's that are free, possibly?

  • What is a good anti virus for macs

    what is a good virus protection for the mac mini

    Considering that there are no "true" viruses for OS X, the best answer I'd offer is NONE AT ALL.
    Other than a test I did for McAfee in 2004, after which I immediately removed their product, I've NEVER used antivirus in more than ten years and eight different Macs.
    I've never seen any malware in that time either.

  • What's a good codec pack for Mac?

    My friend recommended K-Lite Codec Pack, but it only works on PC and I have a Mac. Is there a good codec pack for Mac?

    That's not a "codec pack" issue, you just need a good all purpose conversion tool or two. Apple Compressor works well as do all of the other products mentioned here. Another good tool is a cheap PC with free Microsoft Encoder (or whatever they're calling it these days). You can pull in all kinds of aggressively non-Mac friendly files and output to any of several lowest common denominators.
    Bringing in weird and highly compressed consumer movie files isn't as simple as converting to an editing codec (which raises the question, why are you bringing these clips into AE and not Premiere?) you also need to figure out how to do frame rate conversions, scale adjustments, and color space tweaks.

  • What are the Best Recommended Products for Mac OS X Server (Apache and ???)

    I investigated Oracle and PHP combo for robust database services to be able to create forms, store employee applications, resumes, do financial requests, invoices, ecommerce stuff, document and lists collaboration like Microsoft Sharepoint using Internet Information Services (IIS) and SQL Server, etc. What are recommended products that I can easily develop in to code and do the requested stuff using Mac current (Apache and ????) technologies?

    Of course it depends on your needs, but the OS X server already comes with Apache, Ruby On Rails, Python, Perl and SQL.

  • What is a good security software for Mac

    My bank seems to think that my Mac has a virus, as my accounts have had several attempted hacks over the last month. My computer seems to run fine and I haven't noticed any problems, but probably should buy some sort of security software before I change all my account numbers etc. I'm leary of just internet shopping for security software as I am not knowledgable enough to know if something is for real or not. What would you reccommend for as good security software?

    My bank seems to think that my Mac has a virus...
    More than likely your bank considers using a Mac or Safari is a "virus".  A lot (not all) of investment sites, banks, etc. think Macs are just not significant to them and get "confused" or just plain reject Macs attempting to connect to them because they are entrenched with Microsoft crap and Internet Explorer's particular variant of HTML.
    The way around this of course it just change your user agent to make them think you are using Internet Explorer.  This will usually shut them up but of course if they are using a Microsoft variant of HTML some stuff may draw incorrectly.
    The way you can change your user agent in Safari is to enable the Safari Develop menu (Safari preferences --> Advanced --> Show Develop menu checkbox).  Then in the Develop menu change your user agent to one of the flavors of IE.  See what happens then.
    If you are using Firefox there are user agent add-ons.  One is User Agent Switcher.
    I'm sure other browser also have a way to change user agents as well; builtin like Safari or add-ons/extensions as with Firefox.

  • What are some good Plugin packages for Logic - must be Leopard Compatible

    I'm new to Logic, heck, Mac in general. On my PeeCee I used Nuendo v.1 and had the Waves Diamond Bundle. I'm looking for something with comparable abilities that's Leopard compatible. Also, I really can't afford the Waves stuff at this point, price is a HUGE consideration for me.
    I'm seriously considering going to Logic Studio (use Express right now) to gain the multitude of instruments and Plugins. In your experience, are the plugins included in Logic Studio good enough that I'd get what I need using them and not have to find another package (for the time being at least)?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    There aren't any classes in the API to do that, but there are 3rd party libraries that can do that. Just google.

  • What are the better IDE's for Mac (Java and C++)?

    I'm switching over to Mac's here soon and I'm curious about which products are the best, from others' experiences, for developing Java and C++ applications. On Windows I used NetBeans and IntelliJ (although not as much), but I'm curious if there is Mac specific software that someone might recommend.

    Both of the above work fine on Mac (I used IntelliJ exclusively for Java development).  For C++ I use Qt Creator and sometimes Xcode.

  • What Are Some Good API Packages For Bar Code Scanners?

    Hi,
    I am trying to write a program where a user can scan a bar code on a part and it's information will be matched on our database and retrieved from there. My main problem is finding a good package and method to take bar code scanner inputs on a desktop computer.
    If any one could point me in the right direction, that would be very helpful.
    Thank you,

  • What are some good vocal plugins for logic?

    just looking for plugins tha give me good industry sound

    Waves makes some decent "all-in-one/single knob" type stuff, but Logic is more than capable of the same thing. I'd suggest rolling up your sleeves and digging into Logic's EQ, Compressor, Reverb and Delay plugins. You can achieve the same thing. As to the "industry sound" - that's good ears and years of practice, and there are no shortcuts for that...
