Hi All,
I got a MacbookAir a couple months back and love it and enjoy the MacOS. There is one niggle which I'm not completely satisfied yet and that's migrating into the Mac world of how to manage personal information management (Calendar, Contacts, Notes, and Tasks)
In windows I used Outlook and synced via iTunes which worked just fine with my iPhone.
In MacOS, initially tried installing Outlook for Mac but for the life of me could not get the sync to work for the iPhone. After searching various knowledge bases i found that there is a major bug and it won't work at all... hopefully this will get sorted in the next version of Outlook for Mac.
So I then tried using iCal and Address book but there were some limitations:
- Did not know where or how to sync Tasks - now in iOS5 there is a Reminders app but where does that sync with the desktop?
- Also Notes syncs with Mail but I don't use mail, can this sync with another application?
- Is there a way to password protect opening up iCal and Address book (as well as the desktop equivs for Notes and Reminders)?
- Is there one application that puts all of these together (like outlook for windows) but also syncs seamlessly with the iphone?
Can't believe it's this hard but looking for options here please thank you in advance!
