how many times?
Havent tried myself but something is here
iCal can sync with Google Calendar, and Outlook 2011 can sync with iCal.
So: Google Calendar --> iCal --> Outlook 2011 for Mac
1) Set up you Google Calendar in iCal.
To do this, open iCal, go to Preferences, select the Accounts tab, click the '+' (plus) sign to add an account. In the Add account dialogue, select Gmail from the drop down menu. Enter your Gmail (or Google apps) email address and password and click Create. Proceed to Outlook 2011.
2) Configure iCal sync in Outlook 2011.
Go to Outlook Preferences and choose Sync Services in the bottom of the window. Tick the Calendar check box. In the accounts window it will say 'On my computer'. This is correct, as iCal does the sync'ing to your computer.
Wait a few minutes (or perhaps close/open Outlook) to see your calendar entries appear. You can always double check that they appear in iCal first

I use MyPhoneExplorer for that purpose - a very reliable way to sync with Outlook (and create backups for contacts, sms, etc).

Installed Kies Air on my Mac. Can't find any option to sync with Outlook. Could you please let me know the procedure?
I don't remember the password to my google account. Can't try MyPhoneExplorer.

I bet you haven't tried Google.
I wonder why the search function in PlayStore does not find this app. Using google, I found it under Google Play. However, it states that it is not compatible with my Galaxy Note! Anybody knows what is going on?
play store on the phone will not show u apps that are not compatible with the phone u using it on

assuming you have PC at work: google calendar sync, beware - you need admin rights to install it, then it sits quietly in system tray and sync at given intervals

multi google account calebdar sync
I don't know much about calendar and syncing it, but a friend is settings his bosses phone up with a second Google account (first/main account on phone is personal), and wants both accounts to sync with the calendar on the phone. When I went to add and sync another account, calendar was not an option, so is it possible, and if so how? Thanks so much
I can only sync one account. ------------------------------------- Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
On the Google calander options online, you can set an account to share the calandet with. My wife and I share a few. You can also set permissions for the other account. ------------------------------------- Sent via the XDA Tapatalk App
Setting a default calendar when adding events
Hey guys, has anyone figured out how to set the default calender on the captivate when adding a calender event it always defaults to "my calendar" which is in the phone. Every time I add an event to my calender I would like it to go to my gmail calender instead of always having to change it.
I'm surprised nobody has run into this yet. Does anyone use their calendar???
yeah I have the same problem. Couldn't find a setting to change it. I will play with it a little more right now.
yep no luck. Even went into settings while in calendar and unchecked the "my calendar" one - it still comes up as default. No setting for it.
I haven't tried this yet, but if you add an event to "my calendar" does it still sync with the Gmail account? I assume no... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Anything on this issue yet? Isn't the point of a google phone to be able to integrate into google applications like calendar? This is a horrible feature on this phone which for me is a pain as i enter a lot of calendar entries daily. It worked just fine on my htc hero (as did the gps and contact groups...).

Did you go to Settings / Accounts and sync / your Gmail account, then check Sync Calander? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

My gmail account syncs just fine. The problem is when you add an appointment to the calendar on the phone, it defaults to "my calendar" (which will not sync with google). I would like for it to default to my google calendar when adding an entry on the phone. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Try an alternative calendar app like Gemini Calendar or Jorte Calendar. They are both free and let you use your Google Calendar by default. I chatted online with a Samsung person to find out if there was a way to make the Google calendar the default in the calendar app that comes with the phone. She claimed that she was able to sync an event from her phone calendar with her Google calendar, but the steps she told me to use did not work for me. I think she didn't understand what I was asking.

has anyone found a solution to this problem?

Create an event, change the calendar where it is saved to your gmail account, click ok, SAVE EVENT. If you don't want the event, delete it. Next time you create an event it will default to your gmail account.
I have no issue with the calendar. Open the calendar app, press the menu button, select more, select setting, select calendars, un-check 'My Calendar' done.

Is there an actual setting somewhere you can set to force the phone to do what it's supposed to do?

Export Contacts
Is there anyway to export my touchpad contacts to my PC or to me email? I want to mod the device but I need to backup my address book first. SOLVED with a preware patch. Details here for anyone else who has this issue: http://www.webosnation.com/export-all-contacts-homebrew-solutions
If you use Google to. Backup all your contacts, than they are saved in your Google account and you can access them from your Gmail account on a pc Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium

Click to collapse This is the best way to have your contact saved. It's in the cloud so no worries about loosing your contacts everytime you update roms or even devices...
They are stored in my HP webOS Account. Anyway to export to google?
if you are using android, then just checkmark contacts in the accounts and sync option in the settings...they will be stored automatically
