I just checked this about iCal:

Exporting and importing iCal information

If you want to move a copy of all the events on a calendar to a calendar on another computer, you can export the calendar information, then import it into iCal on the other computer. You might want to do this if you want to archive a calendar, or if you want to edit the calendar on another computer.

•

To export the events on a calendar, click the name of the calendar in the Calendars list (so that it's highlighted), then choose File > Export. The events are exported as an ".ics" file.

•

To import calendar events, choose File > Import, then locate the calendar (".ics") file you want to import and choose the calendar you want to add the events to. You can also drag an .ics file from your desktop to iCal.

You can also create a backup copy of your calendars by choosing File > "Back up Database." For more information about backing up or other tips on importing calendars, click "Tell me more."

Haven't tried the thing about the phone files. That will have to wait until I get home as I don't have Tiger on my work Mac.

Your second post is how I've been exporting my calendars from iCal.

I dragged a calendar event from Entourage 11.1.0 to the desktop. It made a .ics file. When I send it to the phone it puts it in "Other" on the memory stick. Doesn't recognise it as a calendar entry. I looked at the .ics file in a text editor and its VCALENDAR VERSION: 2.0

Strange indeed. I am sure Apple knows about this and is working on it especially with the new bunch of SE and Nokia phones coming out in the next few weeks/months.

JoolsG4...

i had the same problem you did when i tried syncing up my k750 yesterday with my mac.

The trick is...you can't choose the option to "replace phone memory with computers" when you sync up for the first time. (Not sure of the exact wording on that). It's counter-intuitive i know. I was afraid that isync would think that it should delete all my contacts on the computer becuase they were gone in the phone. But it seems iSync recognizes that the phone is empty and downloads everything fresh to the phone regardless....at least on the 1st sync.

When re-pairing and adding the phone back to isync you might also run into another problem. It seems that OS X may not be releasing/resetting/initlalizing the bluetooth connection properly after its done with one thing. I've been having intermittent trouble with the dialup internet with my phone. its very similar problem and the same error message as some users are experiencing with traditional modems as well.

I've also had trouble if my USB bluetooth adapter wasn't plugged in at startup. There are posts on Apple's support discussion boards about some of the problems. Hopefully upcoming 10.4.2 will fix this.

@ toddlermn

I tried your suggestion - actually got quite excited and hopeful it might work! But, alas, it didn't. I get another different error message this time:

"An unexpected exception occured while synchronizing the device. Device "Jools K750i" synchronization failed"

It starts to talk to the phone and almost immediately the blue bar whizzes right across to the end and that message pops up.

Does iSync still use mRouter as it did in 10.3.9?

I followed Jools advice on adding the K750i to Mac ISync. Everything seemed ok but now Isync crashes as soon as it opens. I am running Tiger and Isync version 2. Any ideas anyone??!

I'm afraid you may be disappointed. Can't say anything else because of NDA with Apple.

@Fieldy,

Not me but the others. My stuff works fine and I have zero plans to buy a k750i. I will buy a z800 because 3G is of more value than a 2 meg camera.
