I'm trying to sync my contact and calendar information between two Windows machines (one desktop, one laptop) and one desktop Mac and use Entourage 2008 on my Mac to access it all.<br>
<br>
I'm using Plaxo to sync my Windows Outlook with my Mac and it works very well BUT it only syncs with Mac's Address Book and iCal. So, I thought I'd use Entourage's sync service to get the information into Entourage.<br>
<br>
When you set up sync services within Entourage, it creates an Entourage folder in iCal. Plaxo also automatically sets up a calendar in iCal named "Calendar". (pretty original, eh?) The problem is, within iCal, the Entourage calendar doesn't sync with my (Outlook) Calendar. Because the two calendars don't sync, the sync to Entourage doesn't pick up the changes from Plaxo. If I try doing what was recommended (right clicking on events and making them an Entourage event) then I get duplicates in my Plaxo calendar, which during the next sync, results in duplicates in iCal.<br>
<br>
Maybe I'm going about this all wrong. Any suggestions? |

SyncServices broke, now I lost my calenders and tasks!!!!<br>
<br>
I figured out that by changing the category on my iCal calenders to Entourage I could sync both ways - so I did this with all my future events (for about a month in advance).<br>
<br>
This morning I'm happily working away at my Mac when I get an error message saying the SyncServices is quitting due to some problem or another. Then BINGO all my calenders and tasks disappear!<br>
<br>
How can such a thing happen? What's next, contacts and emails? Does anyone know of a way to avoid using syncservices or should I just give MS the flick altogether? I paid $300 for the upgrade - boy do I feel ripped off! >> Stay informed about: iCal sync does not work in Entourage 2008 |

Don't blame Microsoft, blame Apple.

For anyone trying to do this, I figured it out. It ended up being a synchronization manager setting in Plaxo. Basically, the only calendar I have on iCal is Entourage. On each Windows machine, I set the Plaxo setting to sync the Entourage folder on Plaxo with my (Outlook) Calendar.<br>
<br>
Viola! Hope this info helps someone! >> Stay informed about: iCal sync does not work in Entourage 2008 |

No matter what I do, following everything that I have seen above, I cannot get Entourage 2008 and iCal to sync. It syncs with Address book just fine but not with iCal. Does not create the Entourage group, does not sync tasks or calendars........please help<br>

I have iCal set up as advised with an Entourage folder, and all my iCal events are under that Entourage folder.<br>
<br>
I am waiting in vain for these events to show up in Entourage - despite having the sync option ticked with the merge function selected.<br>
<br>
I used to simply use Entourage, but was forced to migrate data to the iCal so my blackberry would sync. I now can't get the data to replicarte back to Entourage (which i need to keep using due to work).<br>
<br>
Grrrrr ! We don't pay good money for this sort of rubbish.<br>
<br>
All the people venting their anger here are justified - Microsoft need to get it together. I am in media, and am advising all the online software media review publications I work with of these issues with Mac Office 2008, so that their reviews can advise users not to purchase until they are resolved. >> Stay informed about: iCal sync does not work in Entourage 2008 |

First, I've spent the last 8 hours trying to get sync to work with calendars. It has all the bugs noted above, where things start to like right, then fail. I've tried all the things noted here, though by trial and error, not because I came here first. I wish I had. I would have not purchased the upgrade. I too feel taken. More important, I feel very strongly that for a support person to just blurt out "blame the other guy," it only proves it was a mistake to purchase the upgrade. The support won't be there. Only continued frustrations on the user side.<br>
<br>
Playing with this for the last 8 hours also showed me that there are a ton of other features missing/taken away from the older product.<br>
<br>
Very sad indeed.<br>
<br>

-----------------------<br>
<br>
I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THE ABOVE.<br>
<br>
I moved from Entourage a few years back for the same reasons, and the need to sync to multiple machines, and to publish so people that needed to could see it. I figured out back then that there was no import at all for calendar items in the 2004 version. Today while becoming totally frustrated with the new version, I was completely dumbfounded to find that absolutely nothing had been changed with the import capabilities (read: severe limitations).<br>
<br>
The sad thing is calendar items are an open (and well used) industry standard... you know... those things that Microsoft refuses to acknowledge/embrace/use properly if they aren't in control of them.<br>
<br>
Harsh? I suppose, but no more so than to read here, that all the issues lie with the company that embraces open standards versus the one that does not.<br>

Unfortunately after many $$$ and a lot of time, I too have come un-stuck with
what seems to be a very simple problem without a solution.
I totally agree with what has been said above - if there is a solution to the
following I would really like to know.
Leopard 10.5.1
Microsoft Mac 2008: Entourage,
Entourage "MY DAY"
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003
Mark Space Missing Sync, for
Microsoft Windows Mobile v6.0.
MS Mac Entourage 2008; Address Book, Calender, Tasks, CATEGORIES, COLOURS,
and the New MY DAY look fantastic in the new MS Mac Entourage 2008 when
operational, but they are all absolutely useless if they cannot sync as you
see them with your MS Windows Mobile 6. >> Stay informed about: iCal sync does not work in Entourage 2008 |

I have been having the same problems as everyone above with 5000 conflicts. I have 5 copies of every event in Entourage and 3 copies of every event in my Palm. I also have something where every event is set up one day in advance. For example: Independence Day is listed on July 4th and July 3rd.<br>
Has anyone tried to get out of Entourage 2008 and reload 2004? >> Stay informed about: iCal sync does not work in Entourage 2008 |
