Will a Palm Centro or Blackberry sync with iCal?

Will a Palm Centro or Blackberry sync with iCal?

Greetings,
Yes on both but you would need software to do the sync for you.
If you are running Mac OS X 10.6.x, Palm is no longer updating their sync software (http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/centro/centro/unlocked/solutions/article/332 19_en.html).  You would need a sync solution like: http://www.markspace.com/
Blackberry has their own sync software which you can get from them.
Cheers!

  • Recommendations for a phone that will sync with iCal and Addressbook?

    I'm confused by the posts regarding what mobile phones will and won't sync with iCal and Addressbook. Apple has a list of isync compatible devices (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html), but it seems from some of the posts here as though phones not listed will also sync.
    Can those of you who know about cellular phones that sync with iCal and Addressbook please recommend some models for me. These are the things I need:
    -Cingular service compatibility
    -syncs with iCal (including to dos) and Addressbook (must store at least 1500 entries)
    -bluetooth
    -a small phone would be nice
    I don't care whether it has a camera, an mp3player, PTT, picture messaging, video, or voice activation. Wi-Fi would be nice, but it's not imperative. Also, please let me know if I would need to purchase any third-party software or hardware.
    Thank you.
    Todd Berliner

    The supported device list contains a list of devices that Apple claims are explicitly compatible with iSync out of the box, subject to the limitations outlined in the footnotes at the bottom of the page [the ones that apparently almost no one ever reads] and the general rule that carriers may not support certain features [say, Bluetooth or USB] and may not support certain functions [say, calendar synchronization] with a supported device.
    Manufacturers like Audiovox, LG, Samsung and Sharp are not supported, unless they run an OS listed below, instead of their proprietary operating systems. If a device is not manufactured by Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, Seimens, Sendo or SONY Ericsson, it is generally not supported, unless it uses…
    • the Blackberry OS [which requires third-party software]
    • the danger HipTop OS [which requires third-party software]
    • the Palm OS [which is is supported but performs better with third-party software]
    • the Windows Mobile OS [which requires third-party software*]
    *Windows Mobile 5 device support is not yet available in release software.
    …or, an iSync-compatible plug-in has been written to extend support to a specific device or family of devices.
    Julian referred you to a site where he has made a number of plug-ins available for various mobile handsets. Nova Media also sells a low cost package of plug-ins providing support for various handsets.
    http://www.novamedia.de/sync/index.html
    Others have built single-use plug ins with various degrees of success, which you can find using tools like Google.
    The bottom line: if you are going to vary from the iSync Supported Device list, you have to do some relatively extensive research, including searching these forums for your specific device, to determine if it can be supported. Many plug-ins are intended only to work with iSync 2.2, so Mac OS X 10.4.6 is a requirement in most cases.

  • Blackberry Torch won't sync with iCal

    For some strange reason my Blackberry Torch will not sync with iCal.  I have new items entered on iCal that don't tranasfer in spite of the fact that I have synced the phone with my Mac.  I am running Lion, Blackberry desktop version 2.3.1 and I have iCloud turned off on my Mac.  I have tried the Forget Device Option, deleted calendar items from iCal and set up a new calendar and imported events back in.  Still no luck.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for your quick reply.
    No I do not have iCloud enabled on the Mac OS.
    I'm not sure how to clear out the calendar database.  I have exported all existing information, then deleted the calendar and then created a new one with the same name.  I have restored my Torch to factory settings, reinstalled everything and still no resolution.  
    I am not able to find any setting either in iCal preferences or in my Calendar Options on my Torch which would even give me the option of the calendar showing as read only.  
    At this point, if I enter something in Calendar on my Torch, it will sync with iCal but not the other way around.  Contacts, Notes, and Tasks all sync fine both ways.
    Hope that's helpful

    The music does not belong to you.  You have no legal right to it and there is no way to keep it.

  • IPhone calendar will not sync with iCal on Mac

    Calendar entries on my iPhone 4S/iOS 5.1 will not sync with iCal on my MacBook Pro 2.4/10.6.8, but it will the other way around. I have tried:
    Restarting iPhone
    Re-setting sync services (holding down Option key and clicking on Sync icon in menu bar)
    Changing which calendar to sync with (iTunes 10.6.1)
    This may have something to do with having to do a complete Time Machine backup after a Volume Optimisation with Tech Tool Pro rendered my startup disk as un-bootable....???
    I do not use Mobile Me or iCloud (can't with Snow Leopard...) and it is a straight USB connection.
    I consider myself a medium expert, with no programming/Terminal skills whatsoever.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Manolis

    Thanks. There is another thread that shares a solution that involves deleting ical Library cache files and Preference files.  I"ll see if that works.  ICloud shouldn't be a factor in my case since I don't use it and it's "off" in Preferences. I am encouraged that I don't need to use it to fix this issue based on other's experiences, but we'll see!

  • IOS 7 ugrade failed " Error:Device disappeared during timed transition". Phone will not now turn on or sync with itunes, any ideas please?

    iOS 7 ugrade failed " Error:Device disappeared during timed transition". Phone will not now turn on or sync with itunes, any ideas please?

    if a Mac OSX Computer is in near - try iBackup Viewer.
    This is free of charge and can read your backup.
    and thats the main difference. Those tools are reading the saved Data in the backup
    but itunes attempts to restore the data from the backup on your iphone. if there are any corrupted data in the backup - the backup restore goes wrong. this can happen during security software or wrong corrupt data already stored on the iphone.
    if itunes messed up to restore from backup try this one :
    - restore your iphone to factory settings using HT1808 or reset all settings and content direct from iphone
    - rename your iPhone (e.g. iPhone Test)
    - setup your iPhone as new device -> attempt to make a new backup - if successful -
    - click in itunes on restore from backup... and choose your desired backup
    or go to:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(Username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista - Windows 7: \Users\(Username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Pull your complete BackupFolder and try a different PC - copy the BackupFolder on this different PC in the same Path above - start iTunes and see if your Backup is there - attempt to restore from Backup again

    Follow these instructions. When you restore the iPod as the articles say the iPod will also be updated.

  • What's a good phone that will sync with iCal?

    I'm in the market for a new phone, but have absolutely no desire to switch to AT&T, so the iPhone is out. (Sob!)
    I really want to be able to sync with iCal, with support for alarms so I don't forget stuff. (I also want to sync with Address Book.) Can anyone recommend a good phone that's fairly compact for this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Have a look at any of the Sony Ericsson models - there are dozens of them to choose from and all (non-Smartphones) sync perfectly with the Mac.
    iCal events plus To Dos will sync to the phone, and if a reminder alarm is set in iCal, the phone will remind you at your chosen interval before the event is due.

  • Palm contacts do not sync with address book

    Contact data from my Palm Tungsten does not sync with Address Book. I am running the latest Palm OS and Desktop with iSync 1.5 and Panther OS 10.3.9. Calendar is syncing correctly. According to the log, iSync thinks that the Address Book is also working but no data gets transferred in either directon. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Hi,
    i also used iSync for a long time with my Tungsten. BUT(!) iSync is very poor! I learned to know MissingSync and this is a really cool App! Now i have categories in my calender after syncing with my Titanium, i have all adresses and there are a lot of more cool features. Look here:

  • AT&T phone that will sync with iCal

    I am looking for an AT&T phone that will sync with iCal (that is not an iPhone) that also does not require a data plan. Are there any options available to me? Or is there some kind of plug-in or application that would make this possible? Thanks!

    Greetings,
    I can think of a couple ways to go about finding the answer to your question.
    1. Contact AT&T Tech Support and ask them if they have any handsets on which they support calendar syncing to Mac OS X.
    2. Find a phone on their website which you like and then contact the phone manufacturer to see if they support calendar syncing (The manufacturer is the one most likely to know as they are the ones who make the device and the software which would be required to do the syncing).
    3. Check the list of supported devices for 3rd party syncing software to see which devices are supported and then see if any of those devices are available on AT&T's network.

  • Syncing Blackberry Tour with iCal?!

    I've tried syncing my phone and over. My contacts are coming through in my address book, but my calendar events aren't syncing with iCal. Any suggestions? 

    Hi,
    I do not believe you can recover the erased records from the Blackberry.
    Two points to prevent recurrence. You can have desktop manager set to backup
    device automatically when they connect. The option is under device options pictured
    in the KB below.
    See KB22208 you should be getting a warning message that major amount of
    data is to be deleted. If you are set correctly this gives you the option to cancel
    the synchronization.
    Thanks,

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPhone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPhone without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    i tried to sync my ipad to my itunes using usb but it will say not charging,, i can sync with my ipod touch without any problem... please help..

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060 :
    The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
    iPods need less power to charge them (their wall charger is half the power of the iPad's, 5W as opposed to 10W), so are more likely to charge via USB
