OK, now that I have it all setup - how do I sync my phone to lightning - meaning lightning -> phone. Just use the calendar on the phone. It should be already be tied to your GMail account, which you have just synced Thunderbird to. However, you might want to install a better calendar than the default one.
I have both a smart phone and tablet and the calendars on both use the GMail calendar. Both those are Android devices. I don't know what the situation is with iPhones or Blackberrys.
That's the problem, I want to use both - once I get the lightning entries down to my phone.

Duaine: There is a big failure to understand here.....
Your Lightning will sync with your Google Calendar. Your Android phone will sync with your Google Calendar.
Google with be the central repository of all calendar data. Each device will sync with it and have a completer replicate of your calendar.
So it is NOT necessary to have your Android Phone sync with Lightning. They both sync with Google Calendar.
Things to remember: When adding things to your calendar, be sure to use the Google Calendar on your android phone, not the local calendar. Most Android phones allow you to set this as a default. Go to Accounts And Sync, select the google account and make sure that Calendar (at a minimum) is checked (enabled) for sync. There are a bizillion calendar apps for Android, so the details of how you set it to use ONLY your Google Calendar is something you will have to work out.
In your Thunderbird/Lightning Calendar: Enable ONLY your Google Calendar.
Got it.......now is there a way to sync to two - without - google in the middle ? -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ - Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding (314) 838-5587 / dahechler@att.net / www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com Home & Business user of Linux - 13 years -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
