You will have to use an intermediary source to sync that stuff. Something like Google. Unfortunately I haven't yet found a way to use iCloud on WP7.

Don't care about iCloud... Just local datas.

Use a google account. That's the only way.

How to import a calendar on WM6

Hi all,
I want to import a calendar from Outlook to my Trinity on WM6.
May I ask to explain me how to do ?
Just to clarify the reason of my demand, I know that if you synchronise you will have all the datas, but on my company, the USB ports are disabled by the administrator, so I want to export the calendar file and import it to my mobile (by email for example).
Thanks in advance for your help

copy your outlook.pst from the office to a portable device (CD-Rom) if your PC has a burner and than syncronize at home
sorry I think you're stuffed- if you copied a .pst file via CD ROM you'd be able to sync once. Change your calendar at work and you have to repeat- it's unworkable.
I don't think it's possible- I presume if your USB ports are diabled, there is no way you could install any other software, and the chances of having a CD writer are low two.
Can you ask your IT folks to install Active sync and a USB cradle for you?

4 Solutions:
a) Let your company buy Exchange
b) Let your company buy Zimbra Mobile (cheeper)
c) Establish a vpn tunnel to office from home to sync your home outlook
d) Sync your outlook at work with google calendar and the synch your outlook at home with the same google calendar (use google to further information...)
Ciao
Thanks claros,
I will try the 4th solution. the other ones are not possible because firewalls (I work in a bank).

interesting idea about google calendar.. i've been looking for a solution like this so my secretary could update my calendar for me at work, without using exchange since our company doesn't have it. What do you use to sync your google calendar? there seem to be so many different options..

I was using this http://remotecalendars.sourceforge.net/ as it was in italian too... But at that time it was almost the only app, now you can find tons of them... RC is an Outlook plugin, but you can find a standalone Calendar Application...
We have Zimbra now so I don't sync with Outlook any more and calendar editing is done via web by our secretary...

Hi,
I see you have an orange icon, so you call with orange? they have a agenda function on their website, you need to login.
maybe that's a solution.
Google calendar is a very good solution. I'm using it with "oggsync" whitch allows me to synchronise google agenda with my 3G connection and oif course with my mobile outlook.
I'm only still having one issue, Google calendar can send invitations but aparently, you can't receive an invitation from a non goolge calendar, you receive an email and then you have to import that iCal file into google calendar.
It would be better if I could receive my invitation directly into google calendar but it's not possible, I'll look further on that, maybe i'll find something.
Thank you very much for your help !

I was thinking about Orange too but I'm not allowed to acces to my orange account (firewall) but I can acces to google calendar. Gmail is not allowed too.

Outlook invitation can cause strange issues, especially if your contacts are different between devices.
And you can use only Outlook or PIM Backup ver 2.5 to backup appointments with participants on your trinity (other programs or older version of pim backup gives errors during restore)
Glad to help!

Sorry,
I don't know any software able to read a pst, except for some tool to repair a pst under xp/vista...
...But you should be able to read a .cal file and import it into outlook...
To import my calendar from Motorola A1000 I used to prepare a big cal file and import it with Remote Calander. Outlook 2007 (I don't use it) should be able to import cal file directly...

Thinking about moving to android, few questions...

Im thinking about moving from WinMo to Android. If you could help me with few questions...
I dont use any Google services, no gmail as I rather use myowndomain.com... I want to sync with Outlook via usb (bluetooth, yeah maybe but usb would be better); contacts, calendar and tasks... Is there good sync software out there?
The main reason for me to have a smartphone for a cell phone, is so I dont need always have a laptop with me. This brings me to opening and editing office apps; I found "Documents to Go" that seems to be OK, anyone using it?
To me its also important to automatically sync folders while syncing with Outlook, any good programs for that? Ive been using MobSync with WinMo and I guess it could work with this too? I found also Microsoft SyncToy, never tried it though...
Can I get my tasks listed on Android today screen like on WinMo? I need to have be reminded of my tasks, otherwise I would spend ½ of my day reading at XDA and not doing any of the things Im supposed to do...
Any comments and help is appreciated... Thanks!

HTC Sync comes with the phone, I also had some contacts stored on my company mail but I've started migrating to gmail because the really really neat integration and extremely useful features.

Yes you can, there are vagarious free apps on the market that even offer feature widgets/notes for the screens
Hi there!
Did you already buy a Desire? I've used winmob before and you sound like you're totally schooled at Outlook with usb sync. HTC has exchange service support and you can sync through usb, It was long time ago since I ever used active sync but a friend of mine use it on Desire and he was not satisfied.
There is calendarpad that can show on start screen as activities or regular day view. Editing documents are thought to be done through Google docs as it is thought to be faster than a full scale office program on the phone. You can other wise get quick office premium for editing offline.

WP7 only syncs contacts, calendar, and notes over the internet (Exchange active sync or the Windows Phone Live service).
You will, however, be able to sync music and other media using the Zune client.

Good question. MyPhone uses a Windows Live logon right? If there is a MyPhone app on WP7 the you can probably log in with the the same account and sync.

I'm not sure. While "Windows Phone Live" is certainly the spiritual successor to MyPhone, I'm not sure if it's the technical successor. I think they might use different backend data storage systems. If they don't, it will definitely be kinda annoying.
Apart from backend data, there are some things that just can't be transferred - i.e. tasks and notes, simply because there are no tasks or notes in WP7. Also, most probably documents won't be transferred either because it seems that WP7 will only sync them via Sharepoint. Some other things such as photos should be fine because the WP7 Pictures application handles cloud photos natively.

I guess it's just OneNote files actually.
The Office Mobile 2010 apps are basic, of course, but functional. On the plus side, you can seamlessly sync OneNote notes with SkyDrive, and any Office documents with SharePoint. You cannot, however, sync Word docs, PowerPoint presentations, or Excel workbooks with SkyDrive, which seems like an odd miss.

I'm a corporate user but we don't use Sharepoint. Document handling isn't WP7's strong side for sure.

[Q] Installing apps without Windows Live account/access to Marketplace

Hi,
As per title. Is there anyway to install apps without accessing and downloading them from the Marketplace? All I need is an PDF reader that I can install on multiple devices and was looking to see if there is a simpler solution.
Thanks for reading.

Installation of applications must be done through the Marketplace, and access to the Marketplace requires a Windows Live ID.
So at the moment, this is the only solution.

Yes, I've read that the first Live ID is also used with other Apps. The next ID can be used too but only for certain Apps.
EDIT:
Reading it back it's very cryptic You need to investigate this more..

Only the primary Windows Live ID is used for Marketplace downloads and purchases. So whichever Live ID you sync first, that will be the one where your downloads and purchases will be linked to.
Additional Live IDs only sync Email, Calendar, and Contacts. Primary is used for everything else (Xbox, Zune, Marketplace, etc.).

and it's kind of a crazy thing because of all drivers included in the software and deep o.s. integration
Yes I know but I want to use it at work but I dont have permission to install it... Drivers wouldnt be the biggest problem I think...
If you have a Zune pass, then you can access your music at zune.net
I just need it to synchronize my contacts and calendar with exchange.

Zune won't help you do that, you'd have to do it direct on the phone.
