How to Synchronize My Day to iCal

Calendar options are available as applications that are used on the iPhone and the Mac OS X operating system. The iCal software program is used with the iPhone and "My Day," which is included as part of Entourage, is used with Mac OS X. Syncing My Day with iCal involves using a utility in the Mac OS X operating system called "Sync Services."

2. Click the "Preferences" drop down and select the option for "General Preferences."

5. Click the "OK" button and a Synchronization Options window will appear on the screen.

6. Click the radio button for "Combine information." Click the "OK" button to close the options window and complete the process.
