Summary

The iSync application lets you automatically transfer information from iCal calendars and Address Book contacts on a Mac to your third-party mobile device.  For example, your third-party mobile phone device can be synchronized using iSync to display your latest events, and your contact list can always be up-to-date with your Mac.
Note: iPhone and iPods use iTunes to synchronize information and digital content from your Mac or PC computer (running Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later).  To learn more, click here.

    Tip: Choose iSync Help from the Help menu to get specific device set-up instructions from the iSync Help guide.
  2. Open iSync (find it in Applications folder in your hard drive). The iSync window displays.
  3. Click Sync Devices and your Mac will automatically try to scan for a device nearby.
  4. Your connected device should appear in the Add Device window. Double-click its icon to add it to the iSync window.
