Apple iOS devices, like the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, can use Apple's MobileMe subscription service to synchronize calendar, address book, mail account, Internet bookmark, and other data with one or more Macintosh or Windows computers using Wi-Fi or cellular data connections.

A calendar is also a physical device ( often paper ) ( for example, a desktop calendar or a wall calendar ).

The astronomer's mean tropical year which is averaged over equinoxes and solstices is currently 365. 24219 days, slightly shorter than the average length of the year in most calendars, but the astronomer's value changes over time, so William Herschel's suggested correction to the Gregorian calendar may become unnecessary by the year 4000.

A few autumn-winter periods have two or three calendar months in which the sun stays within one sign during the month ( i. e. months that would normally be treated as intercalary months ), interspersed with one or two calendar months in which the sun enters two signs of the zodiac during the month, something that was impossible using mean sun motion.

In addition, without changes to either calendar, the frequency of monthly divergence between the two festivals will increase over time as a result of the differences in the implicit solar years: the implicit mean solar year of the Hebrew calendar is 365. 2468 days while that of the Gregorian calendar is 365. 2425 days.

The Hebrew calendar year is longer by about 6 minutes and 25 +< sup > 25 </ sup >/< sub > 57 </ sub > seconds than the present-day mean solar year, so that every 224 years, the Hebrew calendar will fall a full day behind the modern solar year, and about every 231 years it will fall a full day behind the Gregorian calendar year.

Since about the 3rd century CE, the Jewish calendar has used the Anno Mundi epoch ( Latin for “ in the year of the world ,” abbreviated AM or A.

The May Day bank holiday, on the first Monday in May, was traditionally the only one to affect the state school calendar, although new arrangements in some areas to even out the length of school terms mean that the Good Friday and Easter Monday bank holidays, which vary from year to year, may also fall during term time.

The reason for the reform was that the average length of the year in the Julian calendar was too long – it treated each year as 365 days, 6 hours in length, whereas calculations showed that the actual mean length of a year is slightly less ( 365 days, 5 hours and 49 minutes ) As a result, the date of the actual vernal equinox had slowly ( over the course of 13 centuries ) slipped to 10 March, while the computus ( calculation ) of the date of Easter still followed the traditional date of 21 March.

As another example, they specified that the mean synodic month was 29 ; 31, 50, 8, 20 days ( four fractional sexagesimal positions ), which was repeated by Hipparchus and Ptolemy sexagesimally, and is currently the mean synodic month of the Hebrew calendar, though restated as 29 days 12 hours 793 halakim ( where 1 hour = 1080 halakim ).

If it is marked to show the position of the Sun on it on fairly frequent dates, such as the first, eleventh, and twenty-first days of every calendar month, the analemma summarises the apparent movements of the Sun, relative to its mean position, throughout the year.

In either case, his calendar was more accurate to the mean tropical year than the Gregorian calendar of 500 years later.

The duration of the mean calendar year of such a calendar approximates some form of the tropical year, usually either the mean tropical year or the vernal equinox year.
