Somebody please tell me... is this 2008 or 1978?
Why oh why oh why is something as simple as sync'ing a calendar between 3 devices such an impossible thing?
I've got 2 pc's here, both running Vista and my newly acquired iPod Touch, all I want to do is share calendar info between the 3. One PC is operated by my wife and we use Windows Calendar to keep family stuff, her work hours, etc. and share the calendar over the network. I maintain a similar calendar for work stuff, also shared. It's great, a big
So I thought, wouldn't it be useful if I could sync that info with my iPod Touch so I can check things when I'm out, add appointments, etc..
Not a chance. I could spend £000's on Office 2007 for both machines but I'm happy with Open Office. Google Calendar doesn't sync and I need a WiFi connection to just view a schedule, can't even edit it. Hell, adding a new appt. doesn't even let you set the time - if you add one it's happening right now, this minute or not at all
Don't suppose anyone has found a solution - I don't mind changing the s/w on the PC's as long as I can a) import the existing .ics files and b) doesn't involve Outlook (bleugh)?
