Since I moved to OSX, I have regularly tried to synchronize my Newt
to iCal. Always to an empty iCal calendar - the only way I made it
work when I synchronized to Claris organizer in OS 9.
Pt I am trying with iCal 1.5.1, nSync 0.3m, OSX 10.3.1; a keyspan
twin serial adapter.
The Address book seemed to transfer OK - I only did it once a while
back, but it appears fine.
Transferring dates, however has never worked, but it seems to me that
it is getting worse and worse - part of it may be the iCal upgrade?
First, it seemed I got annual events over - I don't get those at all any more.
90% of entries end up on the 1st of each month.
There seems to be at total disregard for the years: Students I take
on in 2003 show up as having appointments in 1997.
From July 98 till July 03 there is only entries at the 1st.
From April 97 to june 98 there is a jumble of appointments, some from
this year, some from others - some from 97 (still the pileup at the
first of the month....)
And the few items that seem to make sense carry the 1 hrs diffference.
I downloaded the Glass Onion software patch mentioned in a post
(although I don't see it anymore)

but although I'm sure it did what it was supposed to do, it did not
solve my problems.
However, most of you seem to be managing - I do not see that many
complaints, so I'm beginning to suspect / hope? that I'm special, and
perhaps there is something wrong that can be corrected.
I am Danish, in Denmark, and my Newt is localized to Denmark - we use
a day-month-year format. It does not appear to be the problem (f. ex.
there should be no entries beyond the 12th, and there is....). But
could it be? Any Dutch, French, German or other experiences?
Or could it be something entirely different?
Suggestions would be _much_ appreciated.
Berthe
