iPhone and Mobile Me Help

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Help please ....

I now have the subscription Mobile Me to link if with my iPhone; problem is it won't import my calendar, it shows a message on iTunes saying "No supported calendar application can be found", any ideas what I've done wrong?

Old Git Note: Yes I am nearly bloody 50 and this type of technology has somewhat passed me by; which is why I've asked you guys PLEASE!

Failing this I could do what I've always done and used Outlook but that would be admitting defeat!

Thanks,

Tim

Have you tried switching it off and on again ?

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Alas you have just exposed the complete limit of my IT knowledge ...

Did that, in fact twice, and added a large exhaulation after the second one ... now I'm kind of stuck ... although haven't knocked it on the desk yet!

Ahh, percussive maintenance. Always worth a go I reckons.

What about taking the battery out ?

Woah Man, we're talking high maintenance = high risk, I'll loose all sorts of things I currently have and all sorts of things I can currently do ... like make a call!

No, the answer lies within NSC, I know it it's only a matter of time before someone either says Press this, do that etc and hey presto it works or someone posts a picture of a beautiful lady to pass the time and go towards easing my pain and misery!

Are you using a Mac or a Windows computer?

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Windows 7

 

[itszamora]

I use it on my Mac and it's fine, but my understanding of it on Windows computers is that it synchronises with Outlook, assuming you have that?

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

That's what I think, I purchased the sort of home edition which, and you'll love this, doesn't have outlook ... but I can buy a bolt on for £100. So I thought I'b go for the £59 mobile me option.

Thanks anyway,

Tim

Yep you need Outlook 03 or 07.

Instructions here:

Apple - MobileMe - Set Up MobileMe

One thing I will say is make sure you make a local back up of everything you sync with MobileMe. I had my contacts sync'ing so didn't bother backing them up locally. I canceled my MobileMe subscription but forgot to turn off the sync'ing on my phone. My subscription ended and my contacts tried to sync with a non existent account and it wiped all my contacts. Tried to get them back from Apple and no dice!

Windows 7

Should be able to do it in under 7 seconds then!

You should have gone for The HTC HD2

But he doesn't want an inferior phone!

I would suggest the use of inverted commas in the thread title in future so people don't think you are semi-literate.

I'll keep that in mind.
