I found that the default calendar program was too weak to meet my needs, but if you are willing to allow Google Calendar to help you out, it will sync with both your iPhone and MS Outlook. And Google Calendar on its own offers high quality schedule management and sharing.

If you are looking for a more functional iPhone calendar app, I suggest that you take a look at Pocket Informant. It also syncs with Google Calendar, and offers more display, scheduling, and task-planning options than does the iPhone's default calendar.

I spent over 30 minutes trying to sign up for Google calendar. I entered the scrambled word at least 20 times only to find that I had not entered it correctly. I never got it right so I gave up. Is it a "d" or a "c" with an "l" next to it. That's why I gave up.

I only need a calendar to remember astronomy events like the upcoming lunar eclipse.

Google definitely has a preset shared moon calendar. Not sure why it was so
hard for you to create a Google account, I just created another one for
storage and took less than a minute for GMail, GCal, GDocs, and GVoice...

OK, I went back and tried again. I was successful in setting up a Google account. What do I have to do to have the iPhone sync with Google Calendar?

On which of the three options you want. If you want to sync Contacts and
Calendar then you need to use Exchange instead of Google username is full
email address, password, next then server is m.google.com

Finally... I got it working. Again, thanks for all the help everyone. I just had to read a tutorial a second time to understand the setup instructions. It will be nice not to have to use the tiny keyboard to make updates.

Thanks to everyone for the help, BUT... Isn't there a "local", (in my PC) calendar program that will sync with iPhone? (like address book syncs to contacts) I kind of like Google calendar but having to set up accounts with exchange an all is getting too complex and unnecessary. There has to be a simpler way.

According to this page:

http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/more-features.html

the iPhone calendar app syncs with Microsoft Outlook.

Wiki-type app that syncs to desktop?

Posted by: "Jeffrey Kaplan" yahoo@gordol.org   gordoljk

Sun Dec 12, 2010 8:28 am (PST)



I'm looking for a Wiki-type application that syncs to a Windows desktop.

I find that I am in need of a personal "knowledge base" that I can
carry around with me on my iPod Touch as well as do most of the data
maintenance from a full size computer. Is there such a thing?

I've previously tried HanDbase, but can't stand its desktop app and I
find its handheld app to be barely usable. I do have ListPro, but as
good as that is for what I use it for, it appears to be unsuited to
what I am currently looking for.

Let me know if you find one. I used to use the one for palm year ago. I forget the name.

I also miss Mathpad for the palm. I wish there was a good replacement for it on the iPhone.

I have not found what you are looking for either. In the meantime, for
freeform text, webpage content, and pdfs, I use Evernote on the
desktop and on my iPhone. It is nicely searchable.

For structured text data, ie records and fields, I export delimited
text from my desktop database app and import the structured text into
the iPhone using CSV Touch, which is very good at providing sorts and
searches for the data and has "data detectors" for launching urls and
dialing the phone from data in its records. Data in CSV Touch cannot
be edited on the iPhone, only viewed and copied.

Trunk Notes is a superb wiki for iOS.
It doesn't really sync to the desktop though. It does connect to the desktop via wifi though so that you can type on the desktop. It also backs up to Dropbox.

It's very good.

Thanks,

David

I store a fair amount of information in CarbonFin Outliner. Which is
an outliner, not a wiki, but it's reasonably easy to use.

Convert on a computer to mp4 & then install on ur iPhone using Handbrake. Handbrake works on both mac & windows platforms.

If for some reason you don't like Handbrake or want something else, there
are numerous programs that do the conversion, at all sorts of price levels &
capabilities.

Personally, I use Cucusoft s/w which was recommended to me somewhere & I've
been happy with it. It's not a freebie.
