Did i! Sync Entourage 08, Palm and on Leopard!

So, there has been a lot of talk about iSync broken on Leopard, so I didn't use it...
I had been using Entourage 04 and the MS conduit via Palm Hotsync to get my data onto my Palm Zire 72 for several years. I was disappointed to find that isync and Leopard do not sync to the Palm anymore, after the upgrade to Leopard.
Instead I used this workaround.
Enable Entourage 04 to sync to Apple ical/Address book using the Preferences (check ical and address book to make sure they are syncing properly). There should now be an "Entourage" Calendar in ical. Sometimes it takes a few minutes for changes to go from ical to Entourage04 and vice versa.
When you are happy this is working, back up your Entourage data just in case.
Then, start up Entourage 08 and import your Main identity from 04 into Entourage 08.
Then, also enable the Sync from Entourage 08 to ical/Addressbook.
Now, when you make changes to Entourage 08, they should sync to apple ical, then seamlessly to Entourage 04-> which will then use the old conduit to go to your Palm device. You can also make changes on the Palm which go the opposite way to Entourage 08.
Just be sure not to delete ENtourage 04, and you should be good!
Hope this works for you.
Incidentally, i tried Plaxo for the mac and this lets me then send address book items to my Google Calendar, so I've achieved (for now) syncing Nirvana!

Did you select to replace all data on the phone with calendar information on your computer? One of these 2 things occured. check your settings for syncing your info

Where can I find how to delete duplicate photos without manually deleting one at a time? Photos were duplicated when I did a sync with my phone and iPad. Thanks.

How can I easily delete all duplciate photos from my entire library? I really don't want to do this manually as I have many photos. When I did my sync with camera and photos using my iPhone and iPad many of my photos were duplicated. Thanks

Photos does not have a built-in duplicate remover.
Try to restore the Photos library from before you synced and duplicated the photos from your backup.
Most third party duplicate cleaners do not yet work with Photos, but there will be soon one that works with Photos:

Also, Duplicate Annihilator is now available for Photos.

HT1212 my daughter did not sync her iphone 5c and now it is disabled. how do I activate it

Hi
My daughter did not sync her new 5c iphone and now it is disabled. How do I activate it and sync it..
George

There are many possible situations that are commonly described as "disabled," and I'm really not sure which one is at hand here. Below is a rather harmeless "fix-all."
Press and hold both the sleep/wake button and the home button. Hold for about 13 seconds or until you see the Apple logo. To sync, connect to a computer running the latest version of iTunes.

I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date. Next, I did a sync with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence. Any idea how to put the photos back into date files?

I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date. I later sync my ipad with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence. Any idea how to put the photos back into date files other than reloading all of them from camera?

What version of iPhoto?
Select one and rotate it. Then rotate it back. Does that make it appear?
A much better work flow is the keep the photos after importing. Check the success the import, wait for at least one successful backup cycle then use you camera's format command to reformat the card

Downloaded new version of itunes, did a sync on my ipod and now music from my external drive is missing? Help

Downloaded new version of itunes, and then subsequently performed a sync on my ipod nano as I had purchased a new song from itunes store. I now only have 25 songs on my ipod as it removed all of my other music. My music is stored on an external drive. I downloaded the music there from cd's that I own. Can anyone help me fix this. I am going on holidays soon and want to have my ipod loaded with music for the trip. Thanks

hi mike,
First of all, your music is not gone. Its there, I promise. Second of all, you need to always make sure you backup your music elsewhere because funky things happen and computers do take nosedives.
Ok, go into File on the iTunes Task bar and click on add folder to library. Your music files should be under my documents>my music. Let me know how it goes...

Just did a sync with my iphone and all my books are gone in itunes and my phone!

How can I retrieve my audible books after syncing my iphone. It asked if I wanted to transfer my new iphone apps to itunes and I said yes. It transferred those apps but deleted all my audible books. I tried to use time machine to go back to before the sync but I get this message.
“iTunes” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X.
What can I do to get them back.

Please don't type in block capitals, they are harder to read and it feels like you're shouting at the reader.
Try re-start the Phone and if that fails try reset the phone.

Just bought new Palm and not sure how to set it up best to sync

I just bought a new Palm TX. The manual says to connect the sync cable to palm and to computer usb port and connect a/c adapter to palm and an outlet and charge for 3 hrs which I'm getting ready to do. Before I start setting up my whole system I to am trying to determine a couple of things first.
Based on all forums I've read today, I want to use the missing sync with ical and address book rather than palm desktop. I also plan to sync using bluetooth rather than usb. (My goal plan is to use this set up to digitally implement kgtd - so the categories issue is key for me).
Thus I wonder, is there any reason to insert the palm desktop software cd and/or install isync palm conduit. It seems missing sync 5.x replaces isync palm conduit and installation of the missing sync will remove the isync palm conduit anyway.
Is there anything I will possibly miss with palm functionalities if I don't use that CD first and then switch to missing sync? Are there any pros or cons to loading isync palm conduit and Palm hotsync software and then switching almost immediately to missing synch with ical and address book. I guess what I'm wondering is, are there anything from the CD that I need or downloads or updates that I initially need to get that I can't get without new palm software installed initially rather than only having the missing sync installed.
On the other hand, are there benefits in immediately installing missing sync and not bothering with mucking things up with the new isync palm conduit and palm hotsync being on my system.
I seem to have isync 2.3 automatically from 10.4.8. I am afraid to, at least initially, upgrade to 10.4.9 given the many problems that seem to be reported from the upgrade regarding syncing and I have very little in ical or address book as of yet and an old palm desktop 4.2.1 that I haaven't used in over a year. I am not interested at this point in transfering anything from the old palm desktop (not so much there either and none of it current) although would be interested in (unless told it could cause other problems for me or be in any way suboptimal) keeping it as a sort of archive.
Also, why do I need to connect the USB port while doing the initial charge if the plan is to use bluetooth? Any pros or cons in doing/ not doing this - both using bluetooth and connecting the USB cable during the initial charge?
Any guidance on some or all of these things would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Great questions, and we'll attack them one at a time.
Q: '…is there any reason to insert the Palm Desktop software CD and install the iSync Palm Conduit?'
A: Actually, yes - there is. Mark/Space very strongly recommends that you perform one last synchronization event with the Address Book and iCal using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit prior to installing and configuring the Missing Sync. It is therefore necessary that you synchronize using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit at least once prior to your initial use of the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit require that the HotSync Manager and Transport Monitor—components of the Palm Desktop—be installed in order for iSync to launch, supervise and terminate a synchronization session with a Palm device.
Q: '… are there benefits in immediately installing the Missing Sync and not bothering with… …the new iSync Palm Conduit and Palm HotSync…'
A: No. It is critical that you overwrite the contents of your Palm device with data from the Address Book and iCal during the first synchronization event with the Missing Sync for Palm OS. Absolutely critical. Users who skip this required step always end up with synchronization problems later. In order to do that, you have to have first equalized the contents of the Address Book and iCal with the contents of your Palm device. Otherwise, you'll be overwriting the device with empty record sets. The easiest way to equalize them is to synchronize at least once using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit. Because the iSync Palm Conduit does not support categories, all field labels and extended attributes supported by both the Missing Sync for Palm OS and your device, you'll have some record cleanup tasks to perform as a result. But, don't skip that initial device overwrite requirement, or you'll put your data at serious risk and only spend much more time later on cleaning up the resulting mess.
Q: 'I am afraid to, at least initially, upgrade to 10.4.9…'
A: Don't be, though it makes little difference if you apply update before initiating the iSync synchronization, or afterward. You indicated that you have an old copy of Palm Desktop installed which you haven't used for more than a year. If that copy is not as recent as the once bundled on your CD-ROM, then install the CD-ROM copy. If they are the same version, or are different versions but neither are Palm Desktop 4.2.1 revision D, then download and install that package before configuring and using iSync. The package is available here:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/macdesk421revd.html
If you aren't sure, then install this downloadable package, as it can only improve and not damage your currently installed Palm Desktop configuration.
Q: '…why do I need to connect the USB port while doing the initial charge if the plan is to use Bluetooth?'
You don't, although your device can obviously only charge with a USB-powered cable or cradle, or an AC adapter-powered cradle. I recommend that you initially configure it to synchronize via USB with both iSync and then with the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and then pair it using Bluetooth and synchronize using that pathway if you wish. Remember two things: while Bluetooth may be more convenient, USB moves substantially greater data in a shorter period of time—important during slow, initial synchronization events—and, the Missing Sync for Palm OS also supports network synchronization with your T|X, using it's WiFi capability. Initially using USB, later reconfiguring for Bluetooth and then for WiFi gives you literally one-button choices when using the Missing Sync for Palm OS.
In summary, you ought to…
• update the Palm Desktop suite to 4.2.1 revision D using the downloadable package
• add your device to iSync via USB using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option under the iSync Devices menu
• be sure to change the label of any contact address you want synchronized to <home>, as iSync ignores addresses not labeled that way
• merge the data in the Address Book and iCal with your Palm Device
• back up the Address Book data using the Back up Address Book… option in that application
• back up your iCal data using the Back up Database… option in that application
• install and configure the Missing Sync for Palm OS
• set your three Mark/Space conduits initially to overwrite your handheld with data from your computer
• synchronize initially via USB and include the TimeCopy conduit in this effort
• follow the Bluetooth wizard instructions in the Missing Sync to pair your device and add the Bluetooth option
• follow the network wizard instructions enable WiFi synchronization
• create sets of conduits appropriate for your workflow, and associate them with an interface: USB, Bluetooth or network
• correct your handheld data to reflect address data field label changes, calendar and contact categories, and so on
• synchronize again via any chose interface to propagate the corrected data

Sync Entourage Between 2 Computers

Other than using a Palm and other than e2sync (which I don't understand yet how it works) is there any way to sync Entourage on 2 computers over the internet?
PS. e2sync turns your Entourage info into iCal and then to isync to send to the other computer. But does the other computer that is syncing turn the iCal info back into Entourage?

I use the Missing Sync for Palm OS to sync my Palm and Entourage. I suppose you could sync to your palm and then to each computer, or fudge something with Sharing on System Prefs. allowing you to access the synced computer and transfer the data to the second computer.

Syncing selectively with entourage, address book and iPhone... geesh

Hi All,
This may all sound funky, but here is where I find myself.
I have thousands of contacts that I send stuff to monthly. I use pages to create the material I send. All of these contacts live in Address Book. They are the only contacts in Address Book - specifically because I can only merge contacts that are in Address Book with Pages (which blows, but is a whole other issue).
I use entourage for all my "real" contacts. Folks I contact every day, associates, family, etc.
Enter, my iPhone. Now I want to sync all my "Real" contacts (from entourage) with my iPhone. I just want my iPhone to sync with entourage, not all those contacts that live in my Address Book. Now I realize I can selectively sync just certain groups in the Address Book with the iphone, however, if I sync entourage and the address book, all those thousands of contacts really slow down entourage and even filtering them out can be a waiting game.
So, in a perfect world, I would be able to sync my iPhone directly with entourage. Or, in a slightly less perfect but still happy world, I would be able to sync entourage with the Address Book, but selectively keep all those thousands of contacts in the address book from syncing with entourage.
Does anyone see a way out of this?

I am looking for an answer to a similar question. I use iCal and Address Book for family and personal calendars and contacts; I use Entourage for business calendars and contacts. I was successfully using Entourage 2004 to sync calendar events and contacts between my Mac and my Treo 650. I have now upgraded to Entourage 2008, which abandoned the direct sync conduit to the Treo. I am now forced to sync via iCal and Address Book. Which means that I seem to have a choice between (1) no longer syncing data between my Treo and my Mac or (2) accepting that all my Address Book data will land up in Entourage where I don't want it to be. (I can selectively choose which iCal calendars
Does anybody know of a solution for this? From reading through the forums, it appears that this problem is not specific to the Treo or Palm OS, but affects any type of sync between Entourage and a wireless device.

Replacing Palm and Syncing with Mac

I have been using a Palm handheld (the bottom-of-the-range Z22) for many years, together with the appropriate version of the Palm Desktop application on my Mac. Now my handheld has given up the ghost, and, having begun to look for a replacement, have begun to realize that the world has changed while I haven't been watching. Where have all the Palm handhelds gone?
I would be really grateful for advice, since any replacement will have to fulfil the following requirements. Firstly, I must be able to back up data from it onto my Mac (and vice versa), just as I have been able to do hitherto. Secondly, I want to be able to transfer all my data from my present Palm Desktop application to the new device and whatever desktop application comes with it. (As far as my contacts are concerned, I have kept them in an AppleWorks database as well as on my Palm and Palm Desktop. I suppose it conceivably might be easier to import them from the AW database than from Palm Desktop. But my diary entries for the next year or two, and my Memo data, will in any case have to come from Palm Desktop.)
The crucial thing in both these matters is that my computer is a PPC one and my operating system is Tiger (10.4.11), and I am not proposing to upgrade these, since a great deal of my expensive software would also have to be upgraded if I did.
As far as I can see, only fossilized remains of plain old handhelds (diary, address book, memos) now exist. I do not really want a smartphone, since I have an ordinary mobile 'phone anyway and do not require mobile access to e-mails and internet. But if I have to have a smartphone, so be it, as long as I can synch it with my Mac and can import my data from Palm Desktop into it.
Thank you very much for suggestions, ideas amd advice.

Appleworks is no longer supported. So a Palm software may actually be better when moving to the modern day. See this user tip with regards to converting your Appleworks files:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2522
According to:
http://roaringapps.com/app:2293
It appears Palm has abandoned the Mac as well, and Missing Sync is your best bet to keep your old files updated:
http://www.markspace.com/osx-lion/index.html
So you might want to consider their software, and compatible devices to integrate yourself when you move up to Intel Macs. This migration tip explains other things you may need to consider:

Or Snow Leopard:

Syncing Palm and iCal

My Palm used to sync perfectly with iCal, but it's suddenly stopped. The address book syncs just fine, but I can't for the life of me get iCal syncing again. Has anyone had this happen, and is there any way to reset the whole thing so I can get it going again? Thanks!

Thank you and apologies.
I did wonder about beginning a new thread but thought someone might yell at me for my question being too similar to others. Likely a needless concern as the posts on this site seem quite friendly.
The short answer to your copy/back up questions is no.
The last time I synced with Palm Desktop was on another hard drive. Thus, there is no back up of the information I just lost anywhere on this machine.
Terrible as this sounds, I have not been using iCal, and as previously stated just started back up with my Palm (in January). No matching info anywhere.
I've been quite naughty and had not attempted a sync until today, in part due to issues that needed sorting on the powerbook, and in part due to superstition. The last time I synced the Palm to the powerbook, the hard drive crashed. It died a painful death, somehow managing to suck all the info out of the Palm at the same time. I ended up with a blank Palm and a fried drive.
This after 2 years of no problems with Palm/Mac. The trauma drove me back to paper until this year.
Today was a new beginning of sorts, the first sync, but with info on both devices. What actually happened was this- the address book on my Mac was added to my Palm, the note pad on my Palm was added to my Mac, and the calendar and to do list on my Palm were wiped clean. Nothing actually synced, though everything was set to do so in both HotSync and iSync.
My software is current but now I am even more confused. Since posting, I've done more research on both the Apple and Palm sites. I'm finding some contradictory information regarding HotSync settings. Palm would have me change the address book, calendar, to do list, etc. from "synchronize" to "do nothing". I assume this is to allow the sync to the Mac programs vs. Palm Desktop? Quite frankly, I'm a bit afraid to try anything right now and have something else lost or over-written.
I'm usually quite competent and not such a dunce when it comes to this stuff, I'm feeling rather foolish. I know I cannot retrieve the info I lost from my Palm as I have no back up. I just had a magical hope there was a sneaky way to revert the Palm as iSync allows on the Mac. I'm just a crazy dreamer...
Unless there is a back door? Kidding.
So can you help out a very verbose girl who is having a huge DUH moment and fill me on the proper settings in both iSync and HotSync? If we could avoid any further loss of info them I'm certain we can avoid any loss of life or limb. That would be good. Thanks!
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I can hardly believe my old school Palm Pre was much friendlier than the IPhone. I have had it for more than six months and still cannot sync my Outlook calendars and contacts. I get a message like, "no calendar application identified." help!

My old school palm pre was much friendlier than the IPHONE 3G. I was able to sync my outlook calendars and contacts via wi-fi effortlessly. I tunes did sync once or twice in the six months that I have had it, but more often it acts like it is syncing and ultimately delivers a message like "no calendar application is supported". Why the back and forth. Very frustrating after literally hours of trying to sync my phone with my Outlook calendar and contacts. HELP!!!!

What version of MS Office do you have installed? Have you tried re-installing office over top of itself? It may not be properly registered with the OS.

I added a contact to my iphone 4s and when I did a sync manually it is not showing up on my MAC in address book - please help....I checked off sync all contacts in iTunes - does it only work one way from computer to phone?

Is it because the new itunes looks different.

Then it should work just the same as on your old computer.
