Transfer PC Sync entries to Google Calendar?

Hi all.
I use HTC Sync to sync my local Outlook calendar to my phone. I'm prohibited from using any software to sync directly to my Google calendar.
I would like to move the HTC sync entries to one of my Google calendars. Does anyone know of an app that can allow me to sync from my phone to a specific Google calendar inside of a Google account?
Thanks in advance.

Hotmail and active sync

Had anyone successfully gotten their hotmail to sync via exchange active sync?
I get as far as the screen asking me what to sync - mail, calendar, and/or contacts - then get told that my phone can't sync to the account.
If someone has it working could your share your settings please?

You need to download the official froyo mail app; the htc mail app doesnt work for live mail + Exchange. A link should be somewhere on the forum.

[Q] Hotmail Calendar

How can I get my Hotmail calendar to sync with my shift? I use the Exchange ActiveSync account on my phone for my work email, but as a family we use Hotmail for our calendar. Any suggestions?
Not sure. If you search Microsofts site, it appears no direct syncing is supported. A workaround would be to link the calendar to your Google account so you can at least view it on your phone. Perhaps wait til WP7 hits Sprint?
Or move the family to Google. O_O

Tried exporting Hotmail calendar, but could not. Thus I could not import into Google calendar. Wife is not a fan of Google, so not so easy
I've never used exchange, but this says hotmail started using that and it will sync calendar/contacts/email... dunno if it is true, but worth a shot.

Switch the family to google, you will be happier in the end.

Yeah, almost all Android email problems can be fixed by switching to Gmail.

Looked at that link, but the phone will only allow one exchange activesync account which I need for my work email
Does this help? http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=1237b8532c40be62&hl=en
Success, thanks Stuke00

Facebook sync?

Hello Guys
Just upgraded from stock rom, to gingerbread ... now i have some problems with the Facebook sync... the link that sense made to the contact, doesn't work now... how do i make a link from a contact to a Facebook contact? So they'll synchronize?

Go to Settings>Accounts & sync and you'll see FB sync tick over there and it's done.
I have the same problem, but when you tap FB, the screen goes back to the add account screen.
Any Ideas??

Syncing Facebook with contacts: some dont work??

im trying to sync FB contacts with my regular contacts list. now, on Froyo there was a menu item to sync with FB. but now, on Gingerbread, that option is gone. most of my contacts are synced but some people who have different FB names, FB wont sync them and i cant do it manually. any way to do this??
i figured it out, disregard. in edit contact you need to select "join" then loacate their FB page. slow and silly, but it worked.
Wait you got the pics to sync with the contacts?

yes. at first, FB synced like 95% of my contacts but left some not synced. i had to figure our how to manually sync them. you have to go into edit contacts, then "join" contacts to another contact (the FB one) then save it. more steps than it was on Froyo, but it worked.
I think this may solve the issue I'm having. Thanks.
I noticed I can't add any additional info to a facebook contact. I'm guessing the only way around this is to create a new contact and then join them?
Does this also update pictures as well? I see that fb has sync contact info but not pictures. Any insight is helpful.
