Keep multiple calendars synced and viewable on iPhone
I use a Mac at home and a PC at work. At home, I have a personal calendar on iCal and a family calendar on Goggle Calendars. At work, I have a work calendar on Outlook and a company calendar on Google. From Outlook, I publish my work calendar to a private server. At home, I publish my personal calendar to MobileMe. At work, I subscribe to the Office calendar, my personal calendar and the family calendar. At home, I subscribe to my work calendar, my office calendar and my family calendar. I then sync these calendars at home with my iPhone through iTunes. I select the "Sync iCal Calendars" option in iTunes to sync all of my calendars to my iPhone. I do not allow MobileMe to manage the syncing because it will not sync all of my subscribed calendars separately.

So to keep from having to type each individual appointment into my iPhone manually, I send email home for future office meetings and/or appointments that will later sync to the iPhone. To do this from the Outlook computer, place the meeting subject in the email subject line, then in the body of the email, place the date and time in the format: Monday, November 26, 2007 at 3:00 PM. If you leave off the time iCal will consider it to be an all day affair. When you get home ...
