Even more good news... - mikirby

According to <http://groups.google.com/group/google-calendar-help-howto/browse_thread/thread/a0dec1bd334b3e4d>, once you are locked out of your google calendar as I have been, it takes A WEEK before you can use it again.

Thanks, BusySync. I won't be using your application anymore. I can't have my business disrupted like this.

One more try with completely new Google account, same exact problems - mikirby

Well, after waiting a few hours, I thought I'd give BusySync one more try.

I have waited several hours.
I have deleted all events from my calendars.
I have deleted all contacts from Address Book.
I have restarted my computer twice.
I have reset BusySync and erased my Sync History.
I have created a completely new Google account to try this with.

And so, I try syncing and... BusySync uploads all the old, deleted events and birthdays -- hundreds of them -- with, you guessed it, notifications turned off. $$%^@!#%#@%%! USELESS!

Damn this terrible, buggy, frustrating app -- After all the time it's cost me to get precisely nothing done, I wish I hadn't ever heard of it!

1 last try = 1 last frustrating failure to work right - mikirby

So, after typing the above, I noticed that the "location" field in the calendars was filled in with technical gobbledygook created by BusySync (I assume.) So, I deleted the calendars full of the notification-less events, created new calendars with the exact same names, and entered the appropriate "location", which I had copied down for each calendar before deleting.

Then I opened BusySync.... and on the Google pane, next to each calendar, it said "already on google" and refused to sync anymore.

Gee, great!

What a POC this software is.
