If you click to create an event, you get this: With Google, it's easy to think that adding notes is an inconvenient two-step process. There's no way to expand the reading area or change to wider margins. Nor does it help after you've created an event and want to read long notes. But it's not as nice as having plenty of space to stretch out before you start. Sure, as you start to enter information, the box expands. In contrast, Calendar on the Mac (called iCal in Mac OS X before Mountain Lion) gives you one tiny line for adding notes, when you create an event: The window used to create events left lots of room for adding notes: When I used Outlook for Windows, this wasn't a problem. I want room to list discussion topics, directions to a location, or perhaps the contents of an e-mail. When scheduling a meeting or an appointment, I often want lengthy notes to be part of the event on my calendar. Let me start with the importance of allowing room for notes within events. Alternatives for the Mac from Apple, Google, and even Microsoft's own Mac-version of Outlook fail to measure up. I greatly miss two key features: ample space for making notes related to an event and the multiweek view to see events split across two months. Money back policy - they don't offer money back because they can't back up their own product.I've written before that one of the hardest things about moving to the Mac from Windows was leaving behind the Windows-version of Outlook, in particular its calendar. Runs (with MacFuse) in the background, damaging sync settings Pros: Kind of syncs iCloud and google Calendar. Use a nandroid backup if you actually want to be able to restore SMS or calls.Įltima don't respond to emails - you have to pay for the privilege! - and they certainly don't respond when you point out to them that their marketing is fraudulent. It backs up SMS and calls, but forget those backups being of any use. What it does is very clumsily transfer files from your iTunes library to your phone, but should you decide that you don't want a playlist on your phone anymore, you've got to take it out manually. It doesn't 'sync' Android phones with iTunes, actually. SyncMate doesn't really do what it is advertised to do. When all their garbage was off my computer, it went back to normal operation.ĭon't waste your time or money with SyncMate or Eltima Software. IN ALL CASES THE SOFTWARE FAILED to sync the music player and computer. When I managed to get that calmed down (though the monitor image was crazily askew), I tried to sync the computer with the music player in all three ways on offer (USB, WiFi, and Bluetooth). The new software immediately upon launch began to play havoc with my machine, turning the monitor on and off in a rapid fashion without pause. This Expert package installed pieces of itself all over my operating system, without including an uninstall routine. So I paid, via PayPal, for the Expert edition of the software and installed it. I installed the free version of the software on my Mac, and it only did a limited number of things, none of which were what I wanted it to do. In this case, I was trying to sync and transfer music files between a Mac and an Android-based music player. NO REFUNDS.The software was an utter failure at its supposed purpose, and it mangled my computer to such an extent I had to boot it up from an emergency disk and spend hours picking out the bits of garbage they installed and deleting them.
