Hi, I'm a Mac user. Anyone know how can I sync calendars, contacts, mail and other things how for example photos?
I just set my wifes mac up to sync contacts and calendar. There is a thunderbird plugin to sync contacts, and I don't remember what I used for the calendar, but I found it via a google search. I do remember that the solution that I used required OS X 10.5 or better. I will see what I can find tonight when I get home...pretty sure I bookmarked the site I used for a tutorial.
oh yeah, I think the contact sync plugin for thunderbird was zindus...

and here is a link for the calendar...obviously, I set her up on Thunderbird, however, I believe it will also work with iCal.

If you only need to sync the contacts, you can use the Address Book, it has built-in capabilities to sync with google (gmail). However, if you also would like to sync google's calendar with iCal, then you would need to take a different route.
1) if you don't use thunderbird, start using it and install the plug-in mentioned above.
2) Pay for Spanning Sync, it costs some money (i think is $20/year or so).
3) Use the google calendar straight from the browser, forget about iCal, and use the Address Book to sync contacts
I took the 3rd option, I sync my contacts using the built-in sync option in Address Book, and as for my calendar I just use the browser, I got used to it and it works for me!
Thanks a lot, but does the built-in sync in Address Book sync also the contact from Mac to google contacts?
your mac can sync without any additional progs with google.
i sync my ical app with google (from my mac)
i sync my adresse bock with google (from my mac)
i sync my contacts app with google (from my mac)
and then i sync my g1 with google (calender, adresse bock and contacts). now, everything is in sync with each other. if i change something on my mac, online or on the g1 it is synced to both other parts.
How can I do that? I used this:

But now on g1 there isn't my contacts and calendars.......
Weird, CalDAV never worked for me, I just tried it again for curiosity and it worked.
I used the built-in LG Calendar App which syncs fine with my GCal account. However I installed the Google Calendar app and it doesn't show ANY of my Calendar data. I told it to manually sync and it has synced successfully so I don't know what's wrong. Any thoughts here?
I am running the GPE 5.0.1 ROM by @Danvdh and I'm having a problem syncing to my new work email account. I haven't had exchange on this phone before so I don't know if its a problem, or just not possible. In my searches it looks like I might need a few different apps, but that's why I here asking.
I have installed "Bluemail" and added my MS Exchange account info. Email syncs fine, but I'm trying to get my contacts (google) to sync with my work email, along with my calendar. The rom doesn't have a calendar installed by default so I installed "Business Calendar", but I'm not married to it at all, and am more than willing to switch to get it to sync. I also tried "Nine" email app but it doesn't seem to be syncing contacts TO Exchange, (maybe just from it?) And I don't know where its trying to sync the calendar to, but it doesn't appear to be working either. I hope this is all possible because on my old work phone (iPhone) everything would sync up easily and I really don't want to go to an iPhone.
Hello,
I am searching for a solution to a strange problem. Recently switched from a Samsung s5 (Marshmallow) to Moto G5+ (Nougat). For some reason, this OS does not recognize my Outlook account for Google Calendar to access. All it currently sees is my Gmail account. Even though I have added it, all the Accounts show in Setup are my FB, Twitter, Yahoo, and Google accounts. No Outlook. When I go to add it I get, "This email address is already connected with Outlook. Do you want to connect it again with another service?"
Outlook app works just fine in recognizing the account. Outlook Agenda widget works. But I prefer the look of Google Calendar widget. And I was able to get two Outlook accounts and a Gmail account to work on previous system's Google Calendar. Just can't get it to work on the new.
Did I run across a bug, or just user error? Any advise on getting this working again would be greatly appreciated.
I have a Mate 9 Pro.
I have my work calendar (Exchange) account setup as well as two different Google Account calendars.
I use Business Calendar to show only my exchange calendar entries. That works.
However, I can't find another (good) calendar app that will let me show only my Google Calendars, as I want them split between work and private.
I can deselect the Exchange calendar and it's removed, but the next time I open the app, the Exchange calendar is selected and shown again.
Can anyone guide me to another app or way where I can choose to see only my Google calendars and my Exchange calendar not keeps coming back into the app?
I'm running Mate 9 Pro Android 9.1 stock.
