Struggling with calendar

[cecilg]

Hello everyone and thanks for a great forum,
I just got my new HTC Inc and really enjoying it so far. However with that said, I am have a tough time getting my calendar to sync. I am using Entourage on a Mac and have tried everything except the right thing. I set up a Gmail account but have not used their calendar as I'm not sure how to sync that either. As you can tell I am pretty tech illiterate.
Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cecilg

I'm using a macbook too and I just synced my ical to my Google gmail account. Works great, I can apply my calendar at my MAC or on my INC and it sends the schedule. Love that I can have one calendar for all my needs...

Edit: Wanted to say that I know a lot of people are using other mail accounts (not Google) but with this phone being Google native it works really well with the Google applications. Personally I love the Google part of the phone. I also have a Comcast account on my phone (secondary account) and it also works fine on my INC. My advice is to start using a Google gmail account. It might take a short time to get used to a different format but worth it in the end result.

Wanted to know if maybe you could help me. I finally got iCal to sync with google. The google calendar and ical are syncing beautifully. Now, when I sync the google calendar to the Incredible, it is missing a lot of appointments. And I only have 1 calendar set up in google so not sure why this is.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

You got me, all I did was sync the 2 calendars up (Macbook/Incredible) and everything works fine. When I make changes on my phone they go to my Mac and vice versa. Wish I could help. Try a re-install see if that helps...??

Yeah the syncing from ical to google and even to the inc, works. BUT i just realized, the appointments that are syncing to the INC are ALL DAY events. Any other appointment that isn't ALL DAY, isn't syncing.

This is so frustrating.

Question, if ure settings on the actual INC, there are 2 calendars that are there, which I didn't create, 1) My Calendar and 2) PC sync. Are these stock? Do u have them?

About Calendar
Use your phone’s Calendar to create and manage your events, meetings, and appointments. You can also set up your phone to stay in sync with the following types of calendars:
 On your phone, sign in to your Google Account so you’ll be able to sync your phone’s Calendar with your Google Calendar online. If you have not signed in to your Google Account yet, see the Accounts and sync chapter to find out how to sign in.
You can create multiple Google Calendars only in Google Calendar on the Web. After creating them in Google Calendar on the Web, you’ll be able to see them in the Calendar application on your phone.
