As far as BusySync goes, I do have my Exchange calendar publishing to Google Calendar already, which was a big step forward in my overall goal… but sadly the second part of then having it come back in and be visible on the web interface of MobileMe I was not able to achieve. I thought maybe I was just missing something.

So it is good at least to know that it’s not just me… sad to know I still have not been able to reach my ultimate goal of backing up my Exchange calendar on MobileMe.

Well, I do have good “anywhere” sharing of Calendars between my wife and myself as of right now thanks to your article! I was just trying to consolidate and back up what seemed to me a bit messy… this will definitely do for now!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this article and answer my question. I had honestly been looking for something for days before I found your blog.

In general, you don’t need to since you can use Exchange to do the same thing MobileMe does (I can subscribe to it on any computer and my iPhone, and all sync through the Exchange server). However, if you wanted to (for instance, some services require an additional fee to sync to an iPhone) you can use BusySync to publish the Exchange calendar to Google Calendar, and then subscribe to that on any computer that you haven’t set up the Exchange account on.

In BusySync > Google tab > Left side (Publish to Google), publish the Exchange calendar to Google. What this will NOT do, however, is display the account in the web/online version of MobileMe (in the browser). I’m not aware of any way to do that at this time.

I’ve been trying to get something similar set up lately, and luckily stumbled on you blog. BusySync has worked pretty darn well so far, thank you for that!

I’d like to ask though, how are you getting your exchange calendar to push through to MobileMe? I can get it into google calendar via BusySync, but not MobileMe.

Would you be so kind as to describe your setup in this area a little more please?

Any thoughts or insight you have would be appreciated…

Thanks,

It looks like they moved the video URL – here’s the updated one: http://www.busymac.com/busysync/videos.html

(I’ll update this in the post as well)

Address book syncing with Google (in Address Book Preferences) has been great – I’ve only seen a duplicate once or twice in 6+ months.

I also recently added an Exchange calendar in iCal (after 10.6 upgrade) and BusySync now pushes that one out to Google so I can see everything there as well.

Now if we could only find a solid, reliable solution for syncing iPhone/Mac Address Books, MobileMe, Gmail/Google Apps Contacts without causing duplicates! Hint hint
