Re: How can I sync mutliple iCal calendars to one Google calendar?

Syncing more than one calendar is the reason for trying spanning sync.
You could have saved me the time wasted in setting it up and testing
by making this clear on the front page.

Not happy.

I'm very sorry to hear that--how incredibly frustrating!

It seems there are two things to be done: first, to see if your data
can be recovered, and second, to determine with certainty that
Spanning Sync deleted it so we can prevent the same thing from
happening to other users.

ALL MY WORK GONE

Spanning Sync just deleted all my work I have done for the last hour.

I had a lot of patience with this product and in general it works
great. But now I had to do some tedious work to put together a
timeline for a conference and after copying events and then changing
them, all by a sudden things are completely screwed up.

Oops, I mis-stated this slightly. Apple syncs the "classification"
property, but always syncs it as "public".

I don't think Apple reads Google's feature requests :-)

Hey Larry,

Ok thanks.
Is there a feature request at google that I could vote for ?

Yes, but this way, other people can find your response and don't
have to ask again :-)

Cheers, Tom.

Hey Tom,

Unfortunately Apple doesn't allow syncing of the "classification"
property for calendar events, so they're all synced to Google as
"public" by default. I'm not sure if this equates to "guest can edit"
or not, but newly synced events will generally just inherit the
default behavior of the calendar.

I refresh this thread, as I still have problems syncing alarms between
gCal and iCal using Spanning Sync v 3.0.3. Any input from the spanning
sync crew would be nice.

Thanks,

Re: How can I tell Spanning Sync to stop syncing with Entourage?

larh...@gmail.com (Larry Hendricks) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:16:18 UT

Hi,

Spanning Sync doesn't sync with Entourage directly. Spanning Sync
syncs with Apple Sync Services. It sounds like Entourage is still
syncing with Apple Sync Services even though you no longer use it so
you'll want to open Entourage and turn off syncing in its preferences.
Alternatively you could use Sync Tune-Up (part of Spanning Tools for

How can I tell Spanning Sync to stop syncing with Entourage?

Hi--I don't use Entourage anymore, as I'm trying to cut back on
Microsoft dependence. How do I tell Spanning Sync to stop looking in
Entourage data when it syncs? Help! I'm currently syncing only with
Google Gmail...

THANKS!

Re: How can I sync mutliple iCal calendars to one Google calendar?

yosoyka...@gmail.com (yosoykazia) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:05:01 UT

One way to do this is to create a calendar for all events in ical and
always copy events to it when creating new ones. Then sync this with
one google calendar to use for sharing. However, I do hope as well
that apple sync starts to support calendar groups as this is a
headache.

Steve,

I can't speak about the license issue. Someone else will have to
answer about using spanning sync on multiple macs to one Google
account.

However, MobileMe syncs more than just calendar and address book; and
spanning sync doesn't synchronise absolutely everything. For example,
MobileMe will also sync safari bookmarks, ToDos and RSS feeds.

Re: iCal syncing

slburse2...@gmail.com (Steven Burse) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 13:42:59 UT

So could I get rid of MobileMe and use Spanning sync on both the
macbook and imac to keep everything in sync? I believe that when you
purchase spanning sync you can use it on multiple computers w/o a
license issue. If I could get rid of MobileMe that would save a
couple of $$.

Thanks!

Steve,

It works for me to an HTC Hero (running android too)!

Spanning Sync synchronises each of my iCal calendars and my address
book to equivalent calendars and address book in Google. Then the
Android (telephone) sync system automatically makes sure my phone is
synchronised too.

Meanwhile, MobileMe syncs between my Macs.

I am planning on purchasing the new Motorola Droid but had a couple of
questions regarding this spanning sync software. Currently within
iCal I have several labeled calendars contained within iCal (i.e.
Miscellaneous, Medical, Work, Days Off). Additionally, I have a
Macbook and iMac which utilizes MobileMe to keep everything in sync
