Syncing Calendars...

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

Anyone knows how to solve that?

[Q] Create local calendar without google account and google sync possible??

Hi,
is it possible to create a local calendar on defy without creating a google account or add a google account in android?
So we can use the android calendar 2.2.1 as a local calendar?
Can we create the database an use it or must there be a google account insert in android?
Andy ideas?
Possible?
Big thanks

dont think you can effectively use it without a google account as the android market requires one, for the minimum.
however, you can disable calendar sync so it essentially becomes a local calendar.
if you rooted, you can even remove the calendarsyncadapter.apk to make sure it cannot sync with google.

Try Jorte instead of Google Calendar. It have local database.

I know this is quite old already. Yet this suggestion is quite useless to me, so the question of the TO is still not quite solved: To get Jorte you need a google account again (to access the market/play store). Any solutions? There is no market on my device/rom, and I'm not eager to install one either.
Thanks, MW

[Q] (Q?) Why Can't I Sync My Contacts to my google account?

I Am able to sync my Google reader, my gmail and calendar but my contacts dont seem to be able to sync? how can i fix this?

Go to Settings and then Accounts and sync. Click on your gmail address and make sure that all the options are selected including Sync Contacts. Have you already done this?
One silly mistake I made when I first got my phone was I added a bunch of contacts as a "T-Mobile" contact and when they didn't show up as a Google Contact I figured out what I did wrong.

thanks for your reply and yes i have tried that but i just cant seem to get it to sync when i flashed cm 7 the contact sync work but i have returned to stock sense rom but it doesnt seem to want to sync.

Ive had a few different problems like this before so....
Do you mean; When you add your gmail, it doesn't sync and add your contacts that you have saved to your gmail account? Or when you add a new contact it doesn't save it to your contacts on your gmail account?
