Entourage/iCal sync...a reward for whoever helps me fix this!

This is a long one and a tough one but I am serious about the reward!
Up until 3 months ago, I was successfully synching my Entourage with iCal. (using the native feature of Entourage found under the Preferences Pane)
iCal was then synching through .mac to another computer's iCal.
(Using the .Mac synching feature)
In case you are curious, I do this so my assistant can add events to my calendar.
And then mysteriously one day...Entourage stopped synching with iCal. following some of the advice found on this forum, I deleted the Entourage Calendar within iCal (the one that Entourage creates automatically) in order to reset the process.
Since then, when I initiate the Entourage Synch (through Entourage Preferences), Entourage creates the Calendar within iCal and appears to be 'pushing' events to iCal. However, when the synch process is complete, no events appear in that Calendar.
Interestingly, iCal can still synchronize effectively between the other computer's iCal (of course this is useless because it is not sharing infor from Entourage which is my main calendar.)
To date I have tried the following fixes:
- Removed and re-installed iCal
- Removed and re-installed Entourage and the entire MacOffice suite
- Cleared out Synch services (as per one recommendation on this forum
- Completely re-formatted my computer and re-installed EVERYTHING from scratch (that was a pain!)
I have isolated the problem as living between Entourage and iCal on MY computer. One of the ways that I know this to be true is that I am able to manually import my Entourage calendar FROM iCAL (using the import function.)
Because I need to have mey calendar visible by my assistant, I basically delete the data from iCal, re-import Entourage, and re-publish the calendar every day...this is no fun.
Your wisdom and advice will be greatly appreciated

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I cannot answer your specific questions, but mvps.org is a good resource for issues involving Entourage, the Exchange Server, and their integration with OS X applications like iCal, Mail and the Address Book.
This links to an area where specific issues regarding Entourage synchronization are addressed:

  • $100 Reward for anyone who can fix this issue

    I will give $100 to the first person who can fix the false empty cartridge issue described here:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questions/Ink-cartridge-empty-but-it-s-not/m-p/176836
    The fix must eliminate the false error message that a cartridge is empty and enable the printer to resume printing. 
    As you can see in the link, people have struggled with this problem for years and no consistent fix has been discovered.  I am hoping that a smart person out there can find the cause of this problem and a solution for it. 
    I suspect that a file or registry entry must be set that indicates a false empty cartridge.  This false entry is retained even when a new cartridge is installed, or the printer software is removed and reinstalled.
    Even though many people have worked on this issue over the years, there still may be a creative solution out there.  Let's hear it and if it works you get the money.

    Hi,
    Reward not required nor needed...
    But... I didn't see a post in your link about using a newly created utility by hp.  I don't know if there is a fix in the utility although it has fixed some other printer issues... something that could be tried.

    If you have any podcasts in your iTunes library you should see a Podcasts sync setting tab to the right when you connect your phone and click on its name on the left sidebar (see image below).  On this tab check to sync podcasts and sync your phone.

    My IPod, Nano will no longer shuffle the tunes, instead it simply plays one tune over and over, can anyone help me fix this problem?

    It sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for instructions on turning it off.

    Please help me fix this issue.
    Thank you,

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update, I can no longer access the itunes store and my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?

    After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?

    The problem is with version 10.4.1.  I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work.  The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me.  Here was their list of steps:
    Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
    2.  Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
         a. iTunes
         b. QuickTime
         c. Apple Software Update
         d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
         e. Bonjour
         f.  Apple Appllcation Support
    3.  Reboot PC
    4.  Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
    If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes.  To correct this:
    5.  Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
    6.  Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
    7.  Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
    8.  Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date.  It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
    9.  Reboot PC
