Yeah but I'm trying to sync the iphone calendar TO iCal. Last time i synced it, it erased everything i had on the iphone calendar because it synced iCal toiphone calendar.
 
whenever i've put in anything on my iphone calendar it has always synced up to iCal. you sure u have your settings right?
 
Make sure you dont have that option selected where all the data on the phone is erased and replaced with only the comp data.

DC. Looks like KneeNoh set him on the right direction.
Don't think I don't notice those colors in your sig homie. Haha.

Cwrite, you are not lying, I almost feel guilty when taking a new Apple product out the box, they are packaged so immaculately. Anybody else feel a little anxiety like they are Un DS'ing their Macs when you break the sticker seal on the clear plastic that wraps the computer?

Lastly I need that Rosetta Stone language software, but dang $500 for all three levels is kinda steep. Wonder if that lil BITttie named TORRie can help me out.

But, I too, would like to know what's good with the Stone of Rosetta en espanol.
