Win7: Calendar app?

Postposted on Mon Nov 02, 2009 10:56 am

Hey guys,

I need a recommendation on a calendar/planner app that would sync with my Touch iPod via iTunes. Any suggestions?
Intel "i7" 870, ASUS P55D Pro, 4GB DDR3 @ 1066Mhz, ATi Radeon 4890, Intel X-25M 80GB, Hitachi 1TB HDD, ASUS 23.6" VH242H
and a case that is ON FIRE!!

iTunes does not do that yet? I thought these Apple things do everything you would ever need to begin with? :o :P

You mean, there's not an app for that? But I thought the iPhone not only obviates the need for a calendar, but indeed puts an end to time itself?

Besides, if you own an Apple product you're so cool the rest of the world feels compelled to make their calendars around you.

The OP was talking about syncing to a "workstation" (I really hate the term PC because strictly speaking a Mac is a Personal Computer too). Those "app for that" is for running on the iPhone only, right? :lol:

So far.... (Yeah, I got the OP's question, I just was going for humor not helpfulness. And is it a "workstation" if it has big freaking flames painted on the side and it's called "Lucky"?)

Anyway, if you can't do it on an iPhone, is it really even worth doing?

Great to see TR's own admins trolling. Fan-freaking-tastic.

You are still pretty new around here. You'll see that sometimes the person who the comment is directed to explains the responses. Once you've been here 3-4 years, you'll get it. :D

You honestly think I haven't made those connections long ago? It doesn't matter, the thread has already gone completely off topic. It can still be thread crapping and trolling even if the intention wasn't so.

You guys are hilarious, but I still haven't heard a decent suggestion. After googling around, I decided to try out Sunbird, since I'm already using Thunderbird anyway. Yet to see if it "plays nice" with the Calendar on the Touch iPod.

Sorry to ask the stupidly obvious but have you eliminated Outlook as a possibility? I was under the impression that the Windows version of iTunes used Outlook for that kind of thing

I'm under the impression that Outlook is not free.

Well, your original question said "via iTunes", so Sunbird/Thunderbird/Google Calendar did not come to mind. I would have thought since iTunes is now also a mobile phone management app (you use it to install/remove apps too, right?), it should have those PIM functions too? Partly why I had that initial comment.

You never asked for free ones in your OP I'm afraid.

Sunbird might be able to do it. I found this: http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1154582.htm

Of course... stuff could have changed. It seemingly uses a plug in and this was for the 2.x firmware.

I was under the impression you're a student. Academic pricing on Office in general is pretty decent.
