I want to share my calendar from Outlook to automatically OTA sync to my htc DS.
With my iPhone, this wasn't a problem, but nowhere in the calendar application, or the accounts and synchronisation tab in settings to be found.
Does anyone know anything about this?
If you're coming from MS Outlook there are two extremely useful tools made by Google to get you started:
1) Google App Migration for MS Outlook http://tools.google.com/dlpage/outlookmigration
Which will migrate your MS Outlook contacts/calendar and emails to your new google account.
2) Google calendar sync http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955
Which will enable you to continue to sync your MS Outlook and google calendars should you choose, or can simply be used to migrate your MS Outlook calendar to google calendar. It performs three types of sync (2-way, 1-way : Google to outlook and 1-way Outlook to Google (great for the initial migration)) so you can continue to use both calendars if you wish.
There are dozens of ways to do this and many third party, I'm sure that everyone has a way thats suits them that they'll recommend, this is mine.
Basically you sync your OUTLOOK with Google using Google calendar sync and then Sync your phone to Google.

As per title anyone aware of a way to link google calendar to your ppc,
either pocketbrezze or your standard pim etc
ta
I have seen readers, but these do not sync with the internal calendar, which I assume you want to do (as I do too).
I am really surprised there is no simple way to sync an ical profile with either Outlook or Pocket Outlook.
I know you can sync with a public profile on your desktop, but I doubt everyone wants to make their calendars public, and still doesn't help for people on the move.
An alternative would be to stop using Google Calendar for now until more solutions are available, and set-up a Live Mail2Web account, and simply use their Outlook Web Access for your calendar needs, and put the sync profile in your Activesync.

It's the only good all round solution to online contacts backup, calendar sync, and push mail, and all from one provider, and free of charge too.
Nice one mate ill look into that :wink:
Remote Calendars
I've been using an open source program called Remote Calendars.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/remotecalendars/
it synchs your google calendar to outlook which can then be synched to your PPC.
you can also synch the other way (i.e. put something in your PPC and have it transferred to Google)
it's not a perfect system but it's the best i've found
Am I right in thinking you still have to make your calendar public for this application to work though?
No google calendars have two addresses:
a public one - which you can disable and
a private one - which you should never give to anyone else or publish anywhere
you can get your private address from the Calendar Details page of the settings menu. this is what you use for Remote Calendars
so your calendar is still private (or shared with family & friends etc)
woohhhoooooooo :lol:
Google Calendar Sync
This only works for main calendar:
5 March 2008 Google Calendar Sync allows you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar.

You can now access your Google Calendar account from your mobile phone! Just visit mobile.google.com/calendar/ with your phone's web browser and once you're logged in, you'll see your list of upcoming events with date and time information in an easy-to-browse format.

I'm currently running the android calendar app, and am having a bear of a time getting the calendar to sync with my Outlook client.
For example, I've create an appt. on Outlook, and it successfully will sync to the Google Calendar, and move it over to my phone. When I create one from my phone, it does not sync up to my Outlook client. I've verified that I have two way sync on, yet nothing every makes it to Outlook.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Ok, we all know Google likes everyone to use their email programs but in reality there are millions of people using Outlook with email and has a ton of contacts in there. I've been searching all over the place and I cannot find a way to sync my Outlook contacts / calendar with this tablet. Is Google really playing this dirty, trying to make it impossible for people to do this? One of the reasons I liked Android was because of the freedom, but if you don't use "Google" apps you may have a big headache. I can very easily sync all my Outlook email/contacts/calendar easily with the Apple ipad/iphone. Even Apple realizes people use Microsoft Office/Outlook.

Contacts: "If you Export your Contacts CSV file in DOS format instead of Windows, your Google Contacts will sync like a dream." -every website.
As stated above, what I did was export a csv from outlook, and load that into my gmail. Contacts synced. The next thing I had to do was get gmails app "Google Calendar Sync" that runs on my computer. It periodically updates (both ways) my outlook and gmail calendars so they sync
I used Google Calendar Sync before having access to an Android device, which took over the calendar maintenance. I have no clue, however, if it still supports the current versions of both Outlook and Google Calendar. Back in the days it worked beautifully though.
Many apologies if this was posted to the wrong forum section. I'm still getting used to this site.
Since Google has discontinued it's Google Sync app as of last month, and I am new to the Android OS, how is one able to synch their Outlook Calandar with their Google Android Calendar? I use Outlook at home and don't login to the web interface for gmail except to clean up up the spam folder...all my Gmail is forwarded to Outlook.
How ridiculous!!

I read only the press statements about googles decision. Google removed only the calendar sync adapter that you can't download it again and it seems that my work laptop is still able to sync outlook to gmail.
Is the calendar sync program installed on your pc?

Google Calendar Sync, the free app to move Outlook to Google Calendar has been discontinued.
Google Sync to devices will apparently be ended at the end of January. According to the announcement, existing devices will continue to work, but you will not be able to set up Google Sync to new devices. Google is supporting CalDAV and CardDAV sync for the future. CalDAV is supported by iOS devices 5 and higher, Android Jellybean and higher devices. The status of Google Sync to prior Android devices is not clear from the announcment.
There are third party tools that handle all the above. CompanionLink has offered an Outlook to Google sync for $14.95.
Since you don't really use Google, you may want to go from PC direct to phone. The advantage here is that Outlook Tasks, Notes and Journal, which Google Sync never supported, are supported by most 3rd party apps.
For older Android phones, if Google does indeed "cut the cord" there are CalDAV and CardDAV apps in the app store. I haven't tried them though.
