Hi Wade,

You need to use iSync. I believe that it is included with the system but if it isn’t you can download the most recent version at:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/

Also make sure that you have the latest version of Palm Desktop. For more see:

University of Colorado has instructions on how-to:

I think you missed out on the best kept secret:
http://icalx.com
a free publish and subscribe service for iCal. My family has been using it for over 3 years now and its indispensable. Calendar sharing without .Mac – free! Wow!
I have been trying to contact the provider of this site to donate some money but I never hear back from the e-mails I send.
Bye

Hi David,

The easiest way to do it if you have Tiger is to use Automator. I’ve made a simple Workflow you can download. Double clicking on it will open the workflow in Automator.

There are only two parts to the workflow. The first part prefills the Calendar, the Name field, and the Description field, which is what I think you are asking for.

You will need to edit three values in the script:

First: Find the line that has:
set theCalendar to “CalendarName”

Substitute the name of the calendar you want the entry to appear in.

Second: Find the line that has:
set theSummary to “This is the Title text to change”

Change “This is the text to change” to the text you want pre-filled in the Name field. If you want to have your entry with line breaks insert \r where ever you want a return.

To pre-fill your Description field. Choose the next line:
set theDescription to “this is the description”

Works just like the Name field.

Chose File>Save as. Under File Format, choose Application

Give it any name you want and save it any place you want. Double clicking your new application will create a new event and fill in the Name and Description fields in iCal. Time and date are set to when ever you run the script. Change those as necessary. It should also open iCal and bring it to the front.

If you don’t have Tiger, you’ll have to do it with regular Applescript.
