Sync with iPhone
07/11/08 at 10:45:23

Hi, I'm a new subscriber to this board. I've been using Ecco since 1994 and love the program. I've looked at many other PIMs over the years and they just can't compete with Ecco.

Would love to buy the new iPhone, but since it doesn't sync with Ecco so I can't consider it. You folks seem to have the best selection of Ecco add-ons and I was hoping that you could find a way to have Ecco sync its phone book, calendar and tasks with the iPhone.

Thanks

(but note, not having looked at sync options with iPhone, am not certain).

I'm looking for someone to hire as a consultant, to make my Ecco data iPhone friendly. One of the Ecco pros. Best regards, Ernie Beffel

I didn't think that Ecco could currently sync with Outlook. The program that allowed this isn't available any longer, right?

[not tested if works with latest outlook, etc.) maybe can ask http://www.laplink.com/ to purchase older vers. (?). 'unofficial' PDASync v1.62 also available 'on the web'.

It requires 3 syncs each time, but it does work with my iPhone. http://www.amazon.com/Laplink-Inc-FG-PDA000-RT-US-PDAsync/dp/B00005O69V/ref=sr_1 _2/102-2595888-3036124?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1221513266&sr=1-2 Dawn

aabencomo EccoMagic Apprentice I Love Ecco! Posts: 1 Gender:	Re: Sync with iPhone Reply #10 - 09/19/10 at 15:39:50 Does this solution sync calendar? I want calendar to ical for iphone; I know how to export other database info and import to outlook, but in calendar view the export option is grayed out. I only want to sync calendar info. Thanks in advance for your reply.
