- bazac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11You should try one of those new-fangled bookmark things... Surely Mac OSX has those, doesn't it? :)
- jonnyeh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7This bash script will do the same thing as the posted program, but in Linux (albeit, for one calendar only):
#!/bin/bash
#This is the ICAL address provided by google calendar, find it in the calendar s
ettings/details, can be either the public or private address
CAL_ADDRESS=http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/blah blah
#This is the destination for the calendar
CAL_DESTINATION=/media/ipod/Calendars/your_name.ics
wget $CAL_ADDRESS -O "$CAL_DESTINATION" - johnnygizmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6ok! the blog us updated and there is a real live URL to download from. Thanks to my host for offering his services.
- johnnygizmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Make sure if you try this out that the 'location' field in the ini file has a trailing slash.I've fixed this in a newly posted version, but if you don't want to redownload you can just check that if you are having troubles.
- johnnygizmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5 I humbly apologize to all spelling nazi's for my ignorance of Apple's spelling habits. Perhaps I should make an mp3 player, call it Ipod and not iPod and Apple wont have a problem, they will just say "wtf is a an Ipod?"
- GreenLantern33, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Not yet it doesn't. The API was just released. I bet the ability to export to CSV isn't far off.
- scottjl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6you can already sync your google calendar to your ipod on the mac (and your razr or slvr phone too).. just sync google calandar with iCal, then use iTunes to sync with your iPod or iSync to sync with your phone.
all works flawless for me on a 12" powerbook with tiger. roar! - KissTheRing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Nice app, but don't worry about it being windows only. Mac users can just subscribe to the feed in iCal and then have iTunes sync the calendars for them.
- johnnygizmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I have had an offer for hosting, hopefully I can get a link here quickly.
- devoinregress, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This is for iCal not Outlook based calendars. I haven't seen anything about gCal exporting to Outlook yet but I assume it is only a matter of time.
- johnnygizmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I am working on an XML to CSV converter that will work in the same way as getCals...be patient :)
- kaito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Great little app, seems to be working just fine with my Nano!
- johnnygizmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Great! I'm glad it's working on more than just the ipod w/video! I'll add a note to the blog.
- elsnow77, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3am i the only one who forgot you could even have calendars on your ipods
- WarAngel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3For those using gtkpod on Linux:
Go to preferences->tools
In the Sync calender command:
"wget -O /mnt/ipod/Calendars/whatever.ics http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/your-private-ical-address"
You can find your private ical address in the Calendar settings
So simple ! - joel2600, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5integration is always the key point with being able to deal with any organization software
if you don't have much in the way of web space, there are free services which host files for you and then give you a link to distribute for people to download ... keeping you free of bandwidth and space fees
i did a search on google and found this page which lists a bunch of free file hosts
http://www.free-webhosts.com/free-file-hosting.php?sort=1
pick one, upload your file, update your blog with a link to the download - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I just wish there was something like this my for Motorola RAZR... unfortunately, Google Calendar doesn't export to CSV.
- jdelsman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Now if only we had this for the stupid Treo 650!!
- qbyte, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Google shut the page down! That was very big brother. Boo for Google on this.
- PDG1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm looking for the same thing
I can't find a way to sync ANYthing from google with the Zen vision:(
which is too bad because I love my zen way more than I liked my Ipod - johnnygizmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2For those of you who have other devices: If your device is recognized as a drive and works by just putting an ICAL file into a folder on that drive, then this app should work for you too.
- Ghost_MH, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I was thinking the same thing...I want something like this for my Palm v_v
- johnnygizmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@ ThomasNewman1: go to my site and email me, I'll try and help you work through the problem.
- marquis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Is there a way yet to sync the GCal with the Lotus Notes Calendar? (Have to use Lotus Notes @ work)
- ThomasNewman1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It won't work for me, I input the info into the text file and then double click the .exe file and nothing happens on my iPod.
- truebullfan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2wow never used the calendar for my ipod 4g (black/white) but it works for me. I just d/l the file from ical and then just inserted the file into my calender folder and it works! Quick question is there anyway for my ipod to update anytime i add new events in my google calendar? Or do i have to manually put that file in the calender folder?
- Vision77, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Jdelsman, I gotta agree with you. Somebody will probably come out with an app for Gcal on the 650. Its problably going to cost more than it should though.
- smcavoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1nice for windows users... I really hope someone writes an isync module to allow syncing with google calendar.
- MegaSilver, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have the same issues. It copies the file over, but when I look at it with notepad, it just states 400 Sever Error. do you need to change the name of the calendar or something?
- tomknocker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Check out a small hack that you can make to your Lotus Notes mail database that will enable you to export calendar entries from Lotus Notes to the standard iCal .ICS format.
http://www.lndcentral.com/article.php/20060503111031179 - chiller2002, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm so very very sorry. (We have to use Lotus at work too...but we are changing in FY07!!)
- HungryMedia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1works great ... nice work!
- devoinregress, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1check out the link. I wrote a comment their on how to do it on a mac.
- reefsurfer226, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Works fine on my mac mini
- natemc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Cool, works great.
now I wish they would just add this kind of functionality to iTunes so it would update for me everytime I connect my iPod. - johnnygizmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1For those interested, check out http://www.digg.com/technology/getCals_0.2beta_for_Google_Calendar_and_iPod_Released for the first version to support csv
- johnnygizmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I just got a comment on the Blog letting me know that this also works with 30boxes
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Right on! Thanks, Johnny!
- grinndaddy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1WTF?!?!?! I post the *exact* same thing for Outlook and everyone knocks me for it "downloading" to Outlook and not "truly syncing." Make up your minds, people.
- johnnygizmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1the format is as follows
location|E:Calendars
calendar|home|http://google.com/etc
you can have many calendar lines, make sure they are all named something different. Dont leave the /path/to/cal stuff from the demo ini file in there. - dowski, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Sweet little app. Now all I need to do is get an iPod...
- guldi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Spongecell has a similar tool, it automatically syncs any iCal file or Spongecell calendar to your iPod every time it is connected. http://spongecell.com/info/ipod_sync
- gelie200, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I agree, someone needs to make one for palm badly!
- pascalX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0two-way sync tool between Google Calendar and iCal: http://gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net
- mystwillow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Is there any way to use this in conjuction with a service like http://www.rememberthemilk.com (that uses ical) to put to-do lists in the iPod To-Do List folder? That would be awesome!
- jabbar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i need to sync my gCal with my cell phone. any hopes for iSync compatibility for gCal?
- briguyd, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Anything like this for the Zen Vision?
- dongiaconia, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Well of course its for windows only, you can do this automatically on OSX. :) But its very cool to see it can be done on windows too.
Now if only google would buy out gcal.com so i dont have to type the whole damn address... or at least add it as a module for the google home page... - kirkio, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5Good story, but repost it when there is a direct link to the app.
- virtualworker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0A few of us are putting together a sync with outlook in our spare time - you can check updates at http://syncmycal.blogspot.com - should be ready in the next few days. Google will eventually release their own integration..
