New app: POCKET MIRROR sync your outlook calendar - Page 3

francesamy · 06-18-2009, 01:02 PM

successfully did the data transfer from Outlook the night I bought the phone and did my first sync yesterday with pocket mirror. Now I have duplicate contact and calendar records. Palm says that only option is to do a partial erase on their server and re-format the phone -- any sage advice out there??

Do you also have the same information in Google? If so, that is why you have duplicates.

To remove the duplicates, you could Delete Calendar and Contact information from Google or simply remove the Google profiles from your Phone Calendar and Contacts.

!! If you delete your Google information, be sure to unload Google Sync from your Desktop first or your Outlook information will be removed as well!!

After you Delete your Google Calendar and gmail Contacts, you can either remove the Google profiles on your Phone or choose to "Sync Now" from your Phone's Calendar and Contacts applications.

What would be a better strategy?

Sync Google and Outlook AND sync Google and the Pre, which leaves out Outlook <->Pre Syncing?

Alternatively, how easy (or problematic) would it be to sync
Contacts Outlook <->Pre
Calendar Google<->Pre and Google<->Outlook

This leaves contacts out of Google, which is fine with me.

It actually does not leave out outlook, I have google do a 2 way sync with my outlook, and my pre syncs with my google calendar....

If I am at home I enter it into my outlook, and it will update google calendar, which will update my pre,

if I am not near a computer, I enter it into my pre, and it will sync google and google will sync with my outlook calendar,

if I have neither I use the computer at my work to access google.com/calendar which will sync with my outlook calendar and also my pres calendar...

have entered several appointments into each of the calendars and all have synced to evey calendar... NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.

yeah it sounds like alot of syncing, but it is all automatic, and all flawless. very happy with it and can check my calendar from anywhere......

I do not use pocket mirror to sync my computer outlook with my palm pre because it will have duplicates of every appointment. and I dont want to have to pysically turn on my wifi every day and sync it with my computer. because everything that i stated eirlier happens automatically.

also from what I heard pocket mirror is only free for a short time.

here is the link to sync your google calendar with outlook

Can you sync your new Outlook data (contacts, email) from a laptop that has Vista 64-bit to the Palm Pre, vice versa?? I need to know BEFORE I buy a Palm Pre!

If so, how do you do it? Does Pocket DO this?
