I wouldn't mind paying $50 for an application if it was a one-off, but they want a yearly subscription! That's too much money just to synch with Outlook. I've been looking for another solutions but so far I haven't found anything good. I'm using Google Calendar as a bridge between iCal and Outlook, since Google CalDAV is free, but it's read-only on my iPhone! Can anyone come up with a cheaper, better solution please?

No Itunes allowedat work, not allowed to put my corporate calendar or contacts on the web. I would love to see Apple make some type of agreement with MS to use ActiveSync for standalone syncing.

No problems so far - kept my devices in sync (iSync with Mac, PC, Phone). Then I switched to iPhone and the problems began. In short: it does not sync. iTunes can sync with ONE PC/Mac (ie @home) but if theres another one involved (ie @work) it only offers to merge (or overwrite the phone from the PC/Mac). I do not want to use a webbased service (so far) and hope that there are other methods (not hoping that Apple will develop iTunes further). Any ideas?

It occurs to me that with iPods, once you use them on a computer, they are formatted for that platform, and I wonder if the iPhone (which I just bought 2 days ago and which is why I'm looking for this information...we use exchange at work/school as well) has the same configuration, or if it can be synced on any OS regardless but not updated. Also, you'll need to authorize any computer you want to sync with iTunes (and in turn everything else) in order to make it work, to a maximum of I believe 5 computers.

So, I also have google sync loaded on it. My outlook/exchange calender syncs to my blackberry, googlesync puts the info into google calendar, which in turn uses caldav (I think) to sync to ical, which in turn, through a cable (argh!!!) syncs to my iphone. I can enter appointments anywhere in that chain, and they make it everywhere, but if I enter them on ical, I have no way to make them private, whereas if I enter them in outlook (which usually occurs from meeting invites) or I enter them manually in google calendar (which I do my personal stuff), it works like a charm.

Not only is my IT department freakingly and blindly MS pawns, they have our laptops / PC locked down so much that we can't install anything into Program Files. Plaxo does intall, but the plugin doesn't work, and I'm assuming because the necessary files couldn't get pasted in the office folder. Any suggestions? I've been living on Plaxo to keep myself sane in a windows work environment, while I'm a mac-er at home. Same story as Jay Jones.

I've been using Plaxo I believe since 2003 and it's saved my ass multiple times and also had a great Outlook to Address Book transition in mid-2005. I was very pleased all the category information even came over to sort my AB! I have since realized it is a great tool to keep multiple machines in sync and because I choose to dive back into the world of Windows via VMWare, it made getting my PIM data back to Outlook after many long years a breeze. I even made it sync to Outlook Express just for kicks - it's that easy! Plaxo has done a great job getting the Google Calendar sync working and even getting around the <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6534496" rel="nofollow">iCal/iPhone sync bug</a> I am experiencing - my iPhone events show up on Plaxo as well as my other clients which is really nice. Amazing what comes at no cost - still wondering what is going to prevent these guys from closing doors without charging for the service! (knock on wood) Nice article.
