Sync Calendar & Contacts with something other than Outlook

[thewolfe]

I sync my Calendar, Contacts & Notes from Outlook 2003 through iTunes to my iPad and iPod. I want to quit using Outlook.

I am starting to use Evernote for my notes which I can sync to PC and devices so it's just for calendar and contacts.

I'd also like to use my calendar and contacts off-line with my PC which I can do with Outlook.

And is iTunes my only way to sync my iPad & iPod to my devices?

If you are running iOS 5 +, simply enable iCloud contact sync. Then log in to your iCloud account from a web browser on your computer and export your contacts to vCard on your PC from there.



Alternatively, you can use some third-party program to export your iPhone contacts to your cmputer like copytrans contacts.
