I own a PC (actually, several) and I use Microsoft Outlook for my calendar and contacts but not for mail. I have an iPad and an iPhone and I have Mobile ME, which is also what I'm attempting to be here…a more mobile ME. I am trying to get all these things configured so that when I add or change a calendar or contact item in one of these three places, the change is automatically propagated to the other three.
I was able to get the PC to sync to the iPhone. Then I was able to get the iPad to sync to the PC but then neither would sync to the iPhone. At one point, I got the iPad and the iPhone to sync to each other but not to the PC. I know that what I'm trying to do is possible. I just don't know how to get there.
Is there someone reading this who really knows this stuff and is willing to talk me through it all? I'll pay for the phone call and do it at your convenience. Drop me an e-mail if you are such a person and are willing to help…and I also have one other request. I'd really like to not get a lot of those "Junk your piece-o'-crap PC and buy a MAC" comments I seem to get every time I ask a computer question here. Given the massive investment I have in multiple PCs, the software to run them, the zillions of bytes of data I have in files formatted for the PC, the hours I have invested in learning the PC and those programs, that really is not an option. It's kind of like if you were having a little trouble with a word in English and someone suggested you solve the problem by giving up that language and learning Mandarin.
Thanks in advance to any and all who respond.
