The MacMost Question and Answer Forum is a place where you can ask how-to questions about your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.10/31/09

The crash logs go to Apple, according to the window that ... (1 Comment)

Gary,
Am I missing something? I’ve noticed that iCal doesn’t sync To-Dos with iPhone.
When I look in iCal, there’s nothing there. I’ve even tried 3rd party apps. These sync perfectly between the app and iCal, even creating a Task calendar which shows up on ... (2 Comments)
