iSync 1.0 and iCal 1.0.1 Released
ahknight writes "Apple released the final version of iSync and iCal today. iSync was significantly changed and works a lot better with Palms and gets rid of all those nasty errors with the .Mac servers. Works great!" I never had many problems with iSync, except for initially setting it up. iCal I've had major performance and other problems with, so hopefully this fixes many of them.
After working so hard successully compiling gentoo on my aging imac, and getting my firewire/palm/ipods to work, why does Apple make it so difficult for one not to boot into linux?? I mean, I am sick of everything working. All iApps rock! I mean what's next Apple?? I would someday like to just be able to reconfigure a kernel again so I can get mol to work. I want to waste hours downloading themes to change in one of my dozen or so windowmanagers. I wish I could just type html code instead of using dreamweaver. I miss the pixely netcape browser. Before, there were dozens of programs that kinda did what I wanted them to, but now, thanks to Apple, I actually am using programs that do everything I want them to. NOW WHAT???
"Doesn't Nokia need to get along with their SyncML support?"
,and the fact that a lot of people are jumping on the series60 bandwagon, they don't NEED to do anything. In fact they seem to have a thing for doing things their way and getting away with it.
With the kind of market-share that Nokia has (36% last year, with second place being Motorola with 14.4% )
In any case i would love to see nokia support in isync (and maybe built-in bluetooth in macs)
iCal 1.0.1 provides a number of performance and stability enhancements, and improved support for importing vCal and Entourage information.
Before you download .Mac membership or a WebDAV server.
Check the system requirements:
Mac OS X v.10.2.2 "Jaguar" required.
Publishing calendars on the Internet requires a
Note for iSync Public Beta users:
The iSync Public Beta is not compatible with iCal 1.0.1. iSync Public Beta users must upgrade to iSync 1.0 after installing iCal 1.0.1.
- Vincit qui patitur.
with MacWorld Frisco coming up next week, I find this an odd date to release the soft. Usually, Steve likes to have the premiere of new releases. Granted, for ical it's a small upgrade, but for iSync, it is the first real release after the beta.
Those of us addicted to the rumor sites can now wildly speculate on whether the 11 announcements fluff still stands...
When will I end this grieving ? When will my future begin ?
The only thing keeping me from going from Palm Desktop 4.0 on Mac OS X to iCal is the messed-up mounth view.
I tend to keep Palm Desktop open in month view. When I do so, I like being able to see the start times for events (as you can see in the example). iCal, on the other hand, does not list start-times for events while in month view. As a result, I have two choices: I can run in weekly view (Ugh...) or I can double-click events when I want to see when they start.
Neither is acceptable. I was hoping that v1.0.1 of iCal would bring this feature (some others have been asking for it), but I suppose I will have to wait even longer.
