If you have your whole bookmarked life in Firefox, grit your teeth and open that dusty Safari anyway, then choose the FileÆImport Bookmarks. Navigate to your Firefox bookmarks file, which is usually in your Home folderÆLibraryÆApplication SupportÆFirefoxÆProfilesÆweird scrambled-named folder like e9v01wmx.default folder. Inside, double-click the file called bookmarks. html. You’ve just imported your Firefox bookmarks. Now, in Safari, press c-Option-B to show all your bookmarks on screen. Delete the ones you don’t want on the iPhone, and then set the iPhone to sync with Safari. Actually, most other browsers can export their bookmarks. You can use that option to export your bookmarks file to your desktop, and then use Safari’s FileÆImport Bookmarks menu to pull it from there. Syncing Your Calendar With its snazzy-looking calendar program tidily synced with your computer, the iPhone can keep you on schedule—and even remind you when you have to call a few people. Out of the box, the iPhone’s calendar works with Outlook 2003 and 2007 for Windows, and iCal and Entourage 2004 on the Mac. The iPhone’s calendar program isn’t especially full-featured, however. For example, it doesn’t have to-do lists, which should be on the to-do lists of the folks at Apple’s iPhone Software Headquarters. The iPhone can’t handle multiple categories, either—different colors so you can tell what part of your life is on what schedule. Otherwise, it’s very pretty and it does generally keep you on track. Here again, setting up the sync depends on the calendar program you’re now using on your computer. if you have Windows vista, you have a built-in calendar program—Windows Calendar—but no way to sync it with the iPhone. The reason, according to apple, is that Microsoft has not made public the format of its calendar program. Chapter 11
Outlook 2003/2007 Calendar (Windows) Plug your iPhone into the PC and wait for it to pop up in iTunes. Click its icon in the iTunes source list. Next, click the Info tab in the main part of the iTunes window. In the Calendars area, turn on “Sync calendars from Outlook.” You can also choose how many days’worth of old events you want to have on your pocket calendar, since you probably rarely need to reference, say, your calendar from 2002. Turn on “Do not sync events older than [blank] days,” and then specify the number of days’worth of old appointments you want to have on hand. Events that you tap into the iPhone get carried back to Outlook when you reconnect to the computer and sync up. iCal (Macintosh) Mac OS X comes with a nimble little datebook called iCal, which syncs right up with the iPhone. To use it, plug your iPhone into the Mac and wait for it to pop up in iTunes. Click its icon in the iTunes source list. Click the Info tab in the main part of the iTunes window. In the Calendars area, turn on “Sync iCal calendars.” If you have several different calendars (color-coded categories) in iCal—Work, Home, Book Club and so on—you can turn on “Selected calendars” and choose the ones you want to copy to the iPhone. Be warned, though: The color coding in iCal all turns into basic gray on the iPhone, so you can’t tell what appointment is from which calendar. Syncing the iPhone 223
