I recently switch from my iPhone to the Epic. Ive been trying several methods in order to sync my new phone with whatever I have in my mac's iCal, but none of em have been successful. Does anyone know how this could be accomplished?
I know if you publish your ical to a file, you can import it directly into Google Calendar (web version) and it will sync right to the phone. After the initial sync, have iCal sync with Google Calendar on a consistent basis (or drop iCal altogether), and all will be working fine.
Ive tried all possible ways to sync my iCal to my google calendar and nothing has worked so far. I tried exporting/importing iCal files into my google calendar, push from my Iphone to google/exchange, publish my iCal using a third-party server....and nothing!
Please advise!
Not sure what's not working on your end, I've done that more than a few times without issues. Possibly check Google's support forums?

Hello,
I would like to know if somthings exists (like ActiveSync) to synchronise your contacts and Calendar with Gmail ?
AFAIK this is the best thing so far...
I've read that there's a team at Google workign on this already but for now we have this:
http://www.grinn.net/blog/dev/2006/04/incorporate-google-calendar-into.html
I watched the link you sent me but the sync is a one way sync from google calendar to Outlook and then to your PDA. It seems to be the only thing existing for the moment.
Waiting for Google to correct this has they always do
I found this adress from google, listing all the APIs you can use to make applications working with the Google web sites and softs :
<http://code.google.com>
It could be useful to someone if he wants to make this kind of synch tool...
It seems rather weird that if you were to key in appointments on your phone which will not be appearing on the google calendar. It be a good idea to have your calendar to be published onto a website where everyone can see your schedule (if you let them) or at least they wil know when you will be busy or not.
Even the google works, you still need to have a google account to view the time table.

Has anyone been able to successfully sync with Google Calendar? I'd like to try goosync.com but I wasn't sure if it was a reliable service. Over the air syncing is a great feature id like...
I found this today, and it works for me.
http://code.google.com/p/pocketgcal/
Not enough experience to know how it handles conflicts.
I did notice that my google calendar synced up to my wm5 calendar, and my wm5 calendar synced to my groupwise calender (via intellisync mobile suite).
So looks good!
Try this instead..the freeware version suites my needs fine...no third party..just the phone and google calendar..and supports repeating events which some of the others don't...
http://oggsync.com/
Has both an installer and a cab.
Any luck using oggsync with WM6
Has anyone had any luck using oggsync with WM6? I am having problems getting it to connect and was wondering if anyone had a fix for this yet? Thanks for reading.
i used goosync or whatever its called a while back and had to uninstall it. i had duplicates of every event in my calender. each time i synced it would just make another copy. not to mention the billions off notification reminders. i had to end up erasing everything and starting from scratch.
that was my personal experirence

Hi, I'm a Mac user. Anyone know how can I sync calendars, contacts, mail and other things how for example photos?
I just set my wifes mac up to sync contacts and calendar. There is a thunderbird plugin to sync contacts, and I don't remember what I used for the calendar, but I found it via a google search. I do remember that the solution that I used required OS X 10.5 or better. I will see what I can find tonight when I get home...pretty sure I bookmarked the site I used for a tutorial.
oh yeah, I think the contact sync plugin for thunderbird was zindus...
(http://www.zindus.com/faq-thunderbird-google/)

and here is a link for the calendar...obviously, I set her up on Thunderbird, however, I believe it will also work with iCal.

If you only need to sync the contacts, you can use the Address Book, it has built-in capabilities to sync with google (gmail). However, if you also would like to sync google's calendar with iCal, then you would need to take a different route.
1) if you don't use thunderbird, start using it and install the plug-in mentioned above.
2) Pay for Spanning Sync, it costs some money (i think is $20/year or so).
3) Use the google calendar straight from the browser, forget about iCal, and use the Address Book to sync contacts
I took the 3rd option, I sync my contacts using the built-in sync option in Address Book, and as for my calendar I just use the browser, I got used to it and it works for me!
Thanks a lot, but does the built-in sync in Address Book sync also the contact from Mac to google contacts?
your mac can sync without any additional progs with google.
i sync my ical app with google (from my mac)
i sync my adresse bock with google (from my mac)
i sync my contacts app with google (from my mac)
and then i sync my g1 with google (calender, adresse bock and contacts). now, everything is in sync with each other. if i change something on my mac, online or on the g1 it is synced to both other parts.
How can I do that? I used this:
http://lifehacker.com/393855/enable-google-contact-sync-without-an-iphoneipod-touch
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=99358
But now on g1 there isn't my contacts and calendars.......
Weird, CalDAV never worked for me, I just tried it again for curiosity and it worked.
Hi,
I use a Mac and Im trying to sync my iCal calendars with Google Calendars so I can check and change them on the move. I have looked online and managed to find a way to link the two so that when I use google calendars it gets updated to my iCal but I cant sync my iCal calendars so they are part of my google calendar(if this makes sense).
What I really need is a way to do this so I dont have to go and create my full calendars all over again for google. If anyone knows a way to do this I'd be very grateful.
On another note does anyone know how to move all my phone contacts to be google contacts on the device? For the life of me I cant find how.
Cheers, Exo
I know there was this issue with other apps on linux, like KOrganizer... It seems that google only allows sync download but no upload... only way to upload to your calendar is login into google and upload the ical or vcal file that you exported from your desktop application
Try Spanning Sync it is a paid application but it works for calendars and contacts
Just thought I'd share my experience on this. Before I got my DZ, I was used to sync'ing my Outlook calendar (Outlook 2007) with my WinMo phone (TP2).
With the DZ, I thought I would use HTC's own HTC Sync software. This can sync various items to the phone from a PC, e.g. calendar, bookmarks, files, contacts, etc. You can download it from HTC's website - http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1058&news_id=804
However, I found it didn't handle repeating appointments properly at all, something I've raised with HTC (but had no response yet). If I change one instance of a repeat appointment (e.g. different time, or deleted it), it just didn't seem to pick it up, and didn't sync the change to my phone.
I then thought I would try out Google Calendar Sync - http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=98563
Google Calendar Sync works much, much better. I sync'd my Outlook Calendar with Google Calendar initially, then removed my "PC Sync" calendar from my phone, and sync'd my Google Calendar with my phone. It is working fine so far, it picks up things like changes in single instances of repeat appointments.
I'm still using HTC Sync for sync'ing bookmarks and photos, but not my calendar any more.

Coming from the exact same old phone and doing the exact same process, I wound up doing the exact same thing!
Problem is google calendar sync doesn't work with Outlook 64 bit.
I am using a product called CompanionLink - but it's only a 15 day trial
