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.
