I will send you the project file when I get home. if you send me yours as well between us we should be able to work out what the difference is.

do you have to set the alarm, in ical, in a particular way ( ie. message, message with sound etc) or does it accept any? do you have DALARM / AALARM selected under the general tab?

My project file is linked on the site given above. http://www.smithfamily.org.uk/~dgs/N900iSync/

You do have a nicer icon than me

I just created an iCal event with an alarm 15 mins before hand with all defaults. I haven't tried any variation yet. I'm doing this all on my account and doing export plugin, install, shutdown maker, run isync, test, shutdown isync, load maker cycle is getting a little tedious so I think I'll go for fast user switching tomorrow and have one account for dev and one for test.

that sounds like a plan with the user switching. ok cool will have a look in an hour or so and will post my project file on to the same page as my plugin as well.

I'm certainly looking forward to testing the fruits of your combined genius!


The big problem I'm having with Calendars is that I have 8 on my Mac, including the automatically generated 'Birthdays' calendar (which is tied to the Birthday field in Address Book), but they all sync to the N900 as one calendar. Except for the Birthdays one, which it seems to understand.

I've even gone so far as to create calendars on the N900 with identical names and colours, but no luck..

Any ideas?

Well, for me as a Mac user it would be a must. Wondering why nobody else is curious about it...

Thinking seriously about buying an iPhone or giving the N900 a chance.

What do you think?
Right now, I'd get an iPhone. I'm coming from an iPhone, that, at least when firmware was updated you could still play music and video.

I truly hope this is not the case. I debated between the Iphone (being a MAC user) and the N900 and have bought the N900 on the assumption it would sync. I just checked and after the latest upgrade my music and video still work, but what I really want more than that is the ability to sync my contacts with my Mac.

the plugins that myselfand scudderfish have posted will do that for you. the only thing it wont do is correctly work with all calendar events with alarms (it will do soon when we work it out). download either and you can use isync just fine
