Gcaldaemon installation & setup has much improved in the last few releases, works perfect for me. Give it another try!

Best,
David.

Plaxo was brilliant but now Outlook sync is only available to Premium users. I’m not willing to pay a hefty $50/year just for Outlook synching. I’ll try this Calgoo, it sounds promising, but does it sycn contacts too?

Eric, if you're wife has a Mac with Leopard she can sync here iCal with the MobileMe calendar and then try to sync that back up to Google via caldav and then you can sync the Google calendar to your outlook. Or there could be a more direct way, I'm not sure.

Will any of these solutions help me to syncronize the mobileme account my wife uses for her iphone calendar with the outlook I have on my computer?

I have been using Calgoo, as it does the job it’s not very fast and a bit and temperamental, I sometimes have to redo a connector as it just stops syncing.

Calgoo Connect syncs iCal/gCal for free, including multiple calendars. No need to buy spanning sync anymore.

[...] GCal with iCal has been possible via Plaxo since 2007 at least. More recently, it has been possible on Leopard to sync individual calendars [...]

The problem with the updates not being instant, is that google updates the link provided to it only a couple of times every hour. The same problems exist when using google feeds.

You can’t really blame google. They just have a ton of users. I reckon most companies just let you use their server-side webdav to update to google. I would recommend just using the built in webdav to publish to your own private server. Its very simple to set up, and can easily be password protected.

CalDav works nicely, if you’re using Leopard and iCal 3.

You can also go direct from iCal to google calendar now using google’s CalDav.

GCALDaemon seemed a bit complex to setup for me too. Haven’t looked at it recently though.

anon, that’s great that it works for you. I found GCALDaemon to be a pain to set up and then was never able to get it working anyway.

Why not just use GCALDaemon? Works like a charm for me, and it allows you to avoid the morally iffy Plaxo.

Beware. Backup your data before using Plaxo. I have experienced data loss in the form of random contacts disappearing using Plaxo 3.

This is the third time I’m trying to comment, darn anti-spam thing…

Do you still use this service? Your post makes it sound like the solution to all my syncing woes, but it doesn’t seem to be updating my Google calendar.

Their support section says Plaxo can only sync one way with Google.
