Cheap Mac Integration - Motorola Q Forum

gigemlee · 04-21-2007, 05:30 PM

Last week I found that I can sync iCal with my Entourage calendar, along with contacts. It worked really well since I use Exchange. Really great because now I have my Q synced with ActiveSync to my Exchange server.

The reason I bring this up is that for some users, this solution would save them the added expense of buying MissingSync. Plus, its nearly seamless, and with a free exchange server like the one offered by Mail2Web, it would be free.

Anyone else doing this already?

I'm not doing that - but have to say that one of the benefits of using the Missing Sync is that it allows for more than syncing - you can mount your Q on your computer as if it was an external hard drive and still access the Q and the card. For that, alone, the money spent on the program was well worth it.

Can you do this without an Exchange Server?

How do you get it to Sync?

Sorry for the little knowledge, I just have no clue when working with the Q and Windows and Mac....Should I wait to Sync with my new Mackbook Pro Intel or doesn't it matter?

It doesn't really matter. Sync away.

You do have to have an Exchange server and Entourage (comes with Office 2004). But, it works really, really well. All my contacts, and all my calendar items sync perfectly.
