Hi all, I wanted to follow up on this on something else I found out while working with the developer. Some of you may go “duh!” but sometimes even the most clever don’t think of some very basic things. I have installed as a start-up program a VERY useful pref pane called apptrap. It is free (unlike App Zapper) and removes the orphaned files when uninstalling a program. The problem with BusySync happened is that when there was an update, AppTrap was treating it as a new installation and was wiping out my license information. Fortunately AppTrap doesn’t do this automatically, it always asks if you want to move associated files to the trash - just say no and all is fine.

I wanted to post this as I am sure I am not the first person this will happen to, and it is something to consider as well with other programs when you are simply upgrading and AppTrap get invoked (which it doesn’t for every upgrade - it must have something to do with how the developer signals the update), just say no.

I hope this helps someone. I am going to post this on my KoolAid blog as well.

Good luck on the drawing Davinian. BusySync is the first item I have given five stars on, it does what it is supposed to perfectly.

I like MenuCalendarClock so much that it pushed me over the edge in the last MacUpdate bundle because I needed another license for the new bouncing addition to my Mac family - a MacBook.

Hi, I have been a big fan of World of Apple for some time now, but never commented before.

BuysSync seems like the perfect solution for keeping me and my Macs up to date while on the move - so please count me in on this give-away.

@T66 / @Dizzle - MenuCalendarClock is perfect for taking a quick peek at what’s coming up in iCal - and I agree, it is cute

T66 - I have been using MenuCalendarClock for my cute little menubar item. You might want to check it out. So far I have been pretty happy.

BusySync is great. I’ve been using it for some time now and about the only thing lacking is the second license to roll the ball with the iBook that’s missing all the important appointments & dates I have scheduled for the rest of the year. That, and a cute little Menubar item showing my iCal activities.

Hi, I neglected to put a date on the giveaway (eek) - the WOA giveaways on review are one week after publishing - so one lucky person will be drawn from the commenters on this thread. Good luck everyone. I have loved using this program.

This would be perfect for me to synchronize calendars between my iCal, gCal, and Dell Axim. I’m feeling lucky today!
