All Entourage events and Tasks just disappeared - PLEASE HELP

Question

PLEASE HELP!!
This is what JUST happened to me. Everything between Entourage 2008, iCal and my iPhone had been working fine for a couple months. Then, about 3 days ago, my iCal calendar went blank and so, of course, did my iPhone.
After reading some discussions and finding that this was not uncommon, I tried what seemed to be the common fix:
1. In the Entourage sync settings,
2. Turn off 'sync with iCal';
3. Delete the 'Entourage' calendar from iCal;
4. Go back to Entourage and turn 'sync with iCal' back on.
After doing this I was prompted, during the subsequent sync, to resolve conflicts. Of course I chose for all events from Entourage to erase those on iCal. That's where the 'fun' began.
First, almost every event in Entourage duplicated, but still nothing in iCal. Then, AS I WATCHED THE SCREEN, one-by-one every single event in my Entourage calendar DISAPPEARED!!! Finally, in iCal, the 'Entourage' calendar symbol re-generated itself, but no events whatsoever. So now every single event in my entire calendar is gone! All tasks have been erased as well.
Can anyone PLEASE tell me a way to recover those events in Entourage. This is my only work calendar and it was chock full. Unfortunately, I'm not on Leopard on this machine, so I can't use Time Machine.
PLEASE HELP!!

It sounds like you might be using two different applications for taking notes.  That could get confusing. Have a look at this tutorial on using the Notes application that comes with iPad. There is a good suggestion in here about saving really important notes.   http://www.ehow.com/video_6214241_using-notes-ipad.html
