I just learned that a company by the name of East Coast Silicon is offering a product called iCal Sync Now Up-To-Date that is designed to convert calendar data contained in Now Software's Now Up-To-Date calendar program to Apple's iCal.
Not sure if it works with 10.4.x, Question but thought you should know
I've purchased ICalSyncNUTD, but so far am a little frustrated. There is no documentation, and very little information on their site. I have an email in to support now.
I did a one time sync of ONE category from my NUD file. It worked fine. However, I seem to be limited to only one category. When I try to change the parameters of the program, it autosyncs. I can't seem to change any of the settings or adjust the preferences. I'm using 10.5.2. Pity...I'd love a simple way to get from NUD to the Iphone.

imho this app seems utterly crap. indeed only syncing one category, no company contact info and only to be purchased in the us and canada

Well it works for me on a Mac Pro, Leopard 10.5.2, and seven categories. Didn't need any documentation as it was self-explanatory for me--run the program, select the categories, and SYNC. Worked flawlessly and iCal now has all my appointments. (Note: applies to the purchased program ($3). Don't know about the demo what it does. For $3, the program works fine with all 7 categories).
Even in v1.2 of East Coast Silicon's iCalSyncNUTD it has problem with recurring events. Discrete events come in. If you choose to import all dates, to-do items are imported. I have not been able to trust the finished product.
This thread has been enlightening. Thank you all for your contribution.
I tried again and again to make iCalTextImport 3.0 work. I appreciate the tips given thus far - they got me pretty far. However, if anyone knows how to overcome "Can't make 11:00 AM into a number, something is wrong with line 2 of your data" let me know. I don't know how else I can export the Start Time other than the way Now exports it.
OR If anyone has any other suggestions (besides using this importer) on how to get NUTD onto a shiny new iPhone - please post!!!
the only way i've gotten iCalSyncNUTD to work (or at least come close) is to delete the iCal categories/calendars every time i do a sync. it gets most of the events, but not all. repeating events (if they started before the sync date) are simply ignored. it's also very slow.
like many people, i have written to the developer and reported my issues and have not gotten any response. I am guessing he has no idea how to fix them. It's better than nothing, but not trust worthy unless you spend time double checking the sync afterwards and manually adding what it skipped over.
