palm pilot fail
Hmm, I've hit a bit of an impasse in transferring from Outlook to iCal. It seems (after many, many hours of problem solving) that my calendar file is too large to be transferred from iCal to the palm pilot via iSync. This is a palm problem not an iSync problem.

However, it was working with Outlook, which seems to suggest that it's a palm-for-mac problem.

I *could* just purge a load of events from my calendar, but I want to keep them if I can.

Unless I have any attacks of the clevers in the next few mins I'm going to have to abandon the attempt, wipe the palm, and re-sync it with the windows-outlook side of life again, and see if that works ;)

can you just transfer current events to your palm, whilst keeping your archive in iCal?

glad melbourne's going ok so far, btw :)

Yes I could do that, but I don't want to - it would mean maintaining 2 calendar files. Which fine...but I still don't want to.

Now going to go back to Outlook.

'Course, that means I've got to start again with fixing the timezone problem in Outlook ;)

In iSync, you might be able to tell it to only synchronize events for the next few weeks. If you click on the device, then click on "More Options..." you should be able to set this up. In theory.

Sorry if I've just added to your confusion!

That's a good suggestion - except that I want all the past events also displaying on my palm device.
