N8 and Handy Calendar

I have just bought Handy Calendar from the Ovi store for the N8, but it doesn't show any appointments, etc which are already in my internal Calendar data base. There is no option to choose a calendar type. Anybody else tried this or found a solution? Do I have to remake my whole calendar? I only use a Mac so can't do it via a sync with Outlook.

I'm afraid you're out of luck till they release a new version with multiple calendar support. Handy Calendar can only look at the phone's own "Personal" calendar at the moment.

I use the same version of Handy Calendar as I used on my 5800... it works very well but only uses the one calendar on the N8.

I'm not too bothered for the time being about only having 1 calendar, but I'm getting none. Epocware said that it is not compatible with the N8. Strange that the Ovi store sells it for the N8 - and for far less that Epocware charge.

You may already have this covered but have you installed the "touch" version of Handy Calendar?

I have had Handy Calendar since my N95 days and when I switched to a 5800 I had to redownload a version compatible with touch devices. That is the version I have installed on my N8 and it is working fine.

Just a thought.

If you don't have it then PM me and I will send it too you (that is OK as it is just a trial version if you don't have a licence key!).

I bought the version from Ovi store for the N8, which according to Epocware is not compatible with the N8! Strange. I've just discovered the problem. I have re-named my calendars. When I did a data transfer from my N86, the calendar was automatically called N86 and my personal was empty, so I swapped the names. I have just put an entry into the old Personal, and it gets picked up. Now I have to re-assigne all my appointments! Oh well, it keeps me off the streets!
