How-to guide for importing calendar events & contacts into iPods
Below is outlined separately the steps taken to import calander events and address book contact entries into your iPod. Please note that the steps are for Windows-PC systems only.
Importing calendar data into an iPod
- 1. Bring up the calendar inside Thunderbird (probably also ok with Sunbird, did not try though)
- 2. Select ALL events in the filter window and highlight all events:
- 3. Use File->Export Selected Events command to save a file with the specific filename of iSync-Calendar.ics onto your computer
- 4. Connect your iPod as you normally would
- 5. Open up your file browser and copy your saved iSync-Calendar.ics file into the iPod's Calendars folder
- 6. View your results in your iPod
Importing contacts data into an iPod
- 1. Get the freeware application called Dawn from Dawn's home page
- (Latest version 5.3 supports exporting Thunderbird contacts)
- 2. Run Dawn, and use File->Open->Open Address Book command. This will bring up Dawn's dialog box of supported import databases, choose Thunderbird and your address book
- 3. Dawn will display all your contacts at this point, so use the File->Save->Save As File command to save file with the specific filename of iSync.vcf to your computer, using the Save-As type Becky! Address book.
- I know this is strange, but the resultant file is good for iPod - I've contacted the author about supporting iPod here as well
- 4. Connect your iPod as you normally would
- 5. Open up your file browser and copy your saved iSync.vcf file into the iPod's "Contacts" folder
- 6. View your results in your iPod
