Can I turn my mess around?  Entourage and iCal

I've got myself in a right mess! I noticed that my Entourage was not keeping permanently synced with iCal - and therefore my iPhone was entirely out of sync. I therefore deleted the iCal entires and re imported from Entourage - but that left both calendars very messed up and all sorts of bizarre entries. all colour codes lost - a real mess. I tried time machine to bring back my Entourage as it was yesterday - but it doesn't appear to have worked. I now have another icon for Entourage 'original' but is it the same as the current one. How do I restore my Entourage to a specific time from yesterday? I have not yet managed to use time machine and I guess I have done it completely wrong... Thank you for your help. SM

Yes - I can! Apple Care helped me - thanks I have now reset to a good time yesterday. Now I need a sync expert to help me with my iCal/Entourage settings - anyone know where to go for this help?

  • Can't get entourage and ical to sync

    Hi,
    I've had a macbook for a while but got an iphone 3gs last week and I'm just trying to set it up. My addresses and contacts seem to be syncing to my iphone OK but not my entourage 2004 calendar. I have gone into entourage preferences and ticked all the synch boxes and when I open ical I have an entourage calendar but none of my appointments are on there (the only thing that is are public holidays and birthdays?).
    When I tried to sync entourage with ical he just hung so I thought this may be due to number of entourage calendar entries. So I went onto entourage and changed it so that anything over 12 months old is deleted but now I have checked and I still have all my calendar entries on entourage from 2005 so that hasn't worked. How can I delete the old calendar entries?
    So as I understand it in order for my calendar to be synced on my iphone it has to go through ical (even though I don't use that on my Macbook). As I can't get entourage to sync my calendar with ical I can't get my calendar onto my iphone at present which is a real pain.
    Would I be better looking at mobileme or something similar or do I just need to setup entourage and ical differently?
    As you can see I really need some help! All advice very gratefully received.
    Cheers
    Ergo

    BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING - BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA IN ENTOURAGE.
    You can delete everything in iCal by deleting the calendar (Entourage or Personal or temp or whatever Calendar is there). You can delete everything in Address book either by highlighting all the contacts and hitting delete or by deleting the Address Book folder in Address Book.
    The key in getting them to sync properly with Entourage is deleting all the preferences in your Library folder under <your user>. Delete anything with Microsoft Entourage in it. I also deleted iCal preferences and Address Book Preferences.
    I also found it necessary to go to the Office folder and delete the sync services folder.
    Also go to Entourage sync services and turn OFF syncing with iCal and Address Book. Exit Entourage.
    Go to your application folder, isync - reset sync history (button at bottom of screen).
    Then bring up Entourage, sync services, and reactivate syncing with iCal and Address Book.
    Everything should work. I have been struggling with this the last week or two. I've had innumerable exchanges with MS who have said anything with syncing is not their problem it's an apple application. Through these discussion boards I pieced together all of the elements above. But be sure to back up anything you want to keep before you do any of this.
    It should work. It did for me (at least last night and all day today). Good luck.

  • I play music from my iPhone via Bluetooth on the car radio. The phone also connects over the radio. Can I turn off Bluetooth for phone and leave it on for music?

    I play music from my iPhone via Bluetooth on the car radio. The phone also connects over the radio. Can I turn off Bluetooth for phone and leave it on for music?

    I haven't tried it yet, but I believe this would disconnect Bluetooth for both the phone and music. I have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata if this will help.

  • Oh lord, can I change those gawd-awful AddressBook and iCal skins?!

    Oh lord, can I change those gawd-awful AddressBook and iCal skins?!

    I suspect this is only the beginning of the convergence of OSX and iOS, at some point down the track they will probably become one ...
    I'm not a fan of LaunchPad myself and after trying to make it work for me several times have now removed it from the Dock as it's a) buggy as heck and b) too much like a giant iPhone interface for a Desktop screen - perhaps it works for a Fisher-Price toy or the Disabled but it's not for me.

  • Can I turn off snapping to vertical and horizontal?

    i need to make a line that's not quite horizontal, but when it try to use the ruler to make it, it always snaps to horizontal. This should be a feature that can be disabled, is it possible?

    Unfortunately, the snapping behavior is not something that can be turned off in the current release. We have heard this feature request once or twice before, but I can't say when having an option to turn off snapping will make it into a future release.

  • How can I sync both Outlook (through Exchange) and iCal with my iPhone???

    I recently added my Outlook account via MS Exchange to my iPhone to access my email and outlook calendar. At this time I could still sync iCal as well, and I could chose to view either one, or both calendars at the same time, on my iphone. Then for some reason, about a week later I could only see my outlook calendar on my iPhone.
    Now when I try and sync my iCal again, it doesn't even come up as an option in iTunes. I can turn stop pushing the data for Outlook on my phone and sync with iCal again, but then I loose all of my Outlook appointments. It seems now that I can only have one or the other!

    If you are accessing an Exchange account via ActiveSync or a MobileMe account with over the air syncing enabled for contact info and calendar events, you can't sync contact info and calendar events direct with a supported application on a computer via the iTunes sync process. You can do one or the other, not both at the same time.
    You can sync your business Exchange contact info and calendar events over the air and personal contact info and calendar events over the air with a MobileMe account at the same time. You can view contact info and calendar events combined with both, or view contact info and calendar events with each separately.

  • How can I turn off  messge "Show Preview" and "Repeat Alert" on iPhone 3G?

    How do I turn off the messge "Show Preview" and "Repeat Alert" on iPhone 3G? I switched them both to Off, turned phone off/on, but the envelope icon and the message alert still pop up as soon as a message arrives. I need the privacy of not having the person sitting next to me seeing that I just got a message from "Bob."

    Well, the iPhone will always alert you when you receive a text message. If you don't want the phone to show "Bob's name" then put "None of your business" in the name for all your contacts so that when you get a text, the person sitting next to you and staring at your screen will see "None of your business" instead of the real name of the sender. Other than teaching the people around you to be polite and not read your phone screen unless invited to do so by you, there is little else you can do.

  • How can I turn off Mail's Compose and Reply animations in fullscreen?

    Does anyone know how to turn off the animated opening of a "compose new mail" window when in fullscreen mode?
    I'm using Mail 6.5 under Mountain Lion.  When I'm in fullscreen mode and I either compose a new email, or reply to an email, the new mail window springs up from the bottom of the screen in an animated way.  I would prefer it to just appear.
    I was able to disable this animation when not in fullscreen mode by typing from a Terminal prompt:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableReplyAnimations -bool TRUE
    However, I cannot find a way to disable it while I'm in fullscreen mode.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The only gesture that is stand is the two finger tap the goes to mission control.  You can turn that off in System Preferences > mouse.
    Also check the second column in System Preferences > Mission control > Show Desktop:
    Set to "-" as a secondary click here could cause the issue.
