[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Importing Tasks as Completed?

[Brian M. Criscuolo]

Dan,

I looked into this issue yesterday, and it is an iCal problem. We are  
setting the property for a completed task in the sync engine, but  
iCal is not picking up on it. If you make some modification to the  
task on the Treo and sync again it will be marked as completed.

I've reported this to Apple, so hopefully it gets fixed in a timely  
manner.

Since you have so many tasks to mark complete, I have two suggestions:

1. Delete some of them
2. Create an AppleScript that will set them as completed. Actually,  
don't create it. Paste this into Script Editor and run! (make the  
appropriate changes for the calendar names; you may have to run it  
multiple times). I just tested it and it works on 10.4.3.

tell application "iCal"
	tell calendar "MyCalendarName"
		set theTDs to every todo
		repeat with aTD in theTDs
			set completion date of aTD to current date
		end repeat
	end tell
end tell

Good luck!
