Worked well, but I had the one day off strange time issue (Southwest Airline generated ical file into my Treo 680).

Thanks a MILLION!!!!

I’ll try the script when back home, but it promises a good job let’s hope. I’ll let you know tomorrow…great job!

Hallo Johannes,
Do you know how to convert google calendar files to dba or vcs files for importing to Palm Desktop 4.2 by any chance?

Great little converter. Thanks a bunch. My previous search for a converter turned up a $30 commercial software product that promised to inter-convert a variety of calendar formats. Google itself offers a converter for importing to Microsoft Outlook, which you could then use to upload to the Palm, but it doesn’t work with the old version (Outlook XP) I have. Thanks for making this available.

Finaly: the simple solution for importing Google calendar to Palm OS I have been searching for hours! Easy, painless and free. Synchronizing by hand works fine for me now. Thanks a lot!

Exported Google ICS and saved to drive. Entered file into web conversion page. Converted ICS to VCAL, and saved back to drive. Imported VCAL into Palm Desktop Manager and Hotsyncd to update calendar to my Palm Centro.

Thank you, quick and easy! Got everything but the recurring appointments. Simple enough to copy those individually before exporting from Google. Thanks again!

Didn’t work on import into C-Organizer.

Got a message saying ” is not a valid integer.

Any thoughts?

Strike the comment about the event not being in the .vcs file. I found it labeled “summary”, which makes sense. I just imported it with the native Palm Calendar app, and it worked much better. I did find another problem: the end time is the same as the start time.

I just used this to convert the .ics file from http://www.qlubb.com to .vcs and import into my Treo 755P running DateBk5. It went without errors, but the event description in Qlubb became the event name in DateBk5, and the original event name didn’t come across. In fact, the event name wasn’t in the .vcs file at all. The same .ics file imported into Google Calendar worked fine.

Worked great! I used it to transport my Sunbird calendar into Palm Desktop. Now I can sync that with my Blackberry. Thanks for all of your work on this.
