I caught the end of a Twitter conversation today between new Mac owner Clintus McGintus and long time Mac owner Cheryl Colan . Clintus had just finished thanking Cheryl for her help in syncing his Google Calendar with his iPhone. This jogged my brain a bit and made me realize that I hadn’t posted about it yet here on iBAM so that’s what this is. A quick tutorial on how to sync your gCal with iPhone via iCal. (At least until Apple or someone else creates a direct sync method).

I’ll try to keep this visual and simple as there are several steps in the process. Here’s the skinny:

Have you ever wanted to use an Mac Application Icon in a presentation or a design (as long as it’s not conflicting with some crazy copyright law)? We’ve all done the screen snaps and hack jobs. Some have even been able to navigate through the huge App package file folder and find the icon files. Others hack away at the icon in some image editor and get stuck settling for a near-close representation. I was fortunate enough today to stumble upon a nifty trick that saves me quite a bit of time and effort so I thought I’d share my new found wisdom with the rest of the planet. Here’s a quick and easy way to get those icons in whatever size there is available.

If you haven’t fallen love with webclips for your iPhone yet, this little hack might just push you over the edge (well, maybe not but it’s something anyway). I’ll bet you were wondering if there was a way to put a icon on your home screen that quick dials a number for you. Well, look no further! Your answer is right here and it just might save your life! Here’s a quick tutorial on how to put a speed dial icon on your (v. 1.1.3) iPhone. [Continued]

I stumbled across a cool little tip over at SilverMac yesterday and I found it to be a great opportunity to try out on my first screencast here on iBAM. Hopefully this works and who knows, maybe (if you didn’t know about it already) you’ll find the tip useful too! We’ll see…

Fellow iBAM’er Jeff sent me an email recently and I thought it fitting to throw it on the table here to see if you guys can help find his solution. Here’s his email:

I bought the new Imac 20inch desktop, the 1st Apple I ever owned… Problem I have is a bit unknown possibly to most because I’m a disabled person that uses [Universal Access] “Sticky Keys” & “mousekeys” for my mouse over on the Numeric keypad to navigate and Click — and always before on [Windows] the [double click key] was the key — right of the [ 6 ] key which is [ + ] on Windows & Mac, left click key is Always the [ 5 ] key on the Numeric Keypad, Right click is [control] + [ 5 ] keys …when I click the [ + ] (double click) it opens up the Spotlight Search? …using Fire Fox browser clicking it brings up status bar [Find]?

I’ve searched and read anything and everything I could find, My problem remains unsolved,
I hope you can help me and other disabled persons that may have the same problem as I,

Respectively

As always, thanks to all in advance
