Hi all,
I am new to Toodledo after trying almost everything else out there. Toodledo rocks! So I thought, I was so clever! I would sync toodledo with gcal - then sync gcal with my iphone - and get my task notifications! Clever, eh? It didn't work... I got toodledo calendar into google via the ical link. Of course, now I have two calendars - my personal + toodledo. When I set up google calendar on the iphone using their Exchange Server hack, only my personal calendar shows up, leaving toodledo in the dust. :-) Has anyone had more luck with anything similar? Cheers & toodles! Kate |

You were clever. You just didn't follow through. I assume by "their Exchange Server hack", you mean Google Sync for mobile. Yes, you can have both calendars, and it works great for notifications. That is exactly what I use it for. The part you missed, if you are indeed using Google Sync, is that you have to go here: http://m.google.com/sync on your iPhone!
The instructions are here: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=139206&ctx=sibling&topic=14252 You can sync up to 5 different calendars with Google Sync. Just remember to set it to "push" in the iPhone settings if you want timely notifications. |

My goodness, it worked! This is so wonderful! (Sorry, are you allowed to get this excited over task alerts on this particular forum?) Thanks for the clever response.
Re: timely notifications: Only reasonably timely as google calendar only updates the toodledo stuff daily, so there is that. Still. I am an extremely happy camper. |

Only reasonably timely as google calendar only updates the toodledo stuff daily, so there is that. I agree this is not a shining example of why Google is so successful. I think everyone who agrees should email them. See my post here: https://www.toodledo.com/forums/2/175/-9337/google-calendar-sync-frequency.html |
