Any help converting from Entourage to iCal?

With all the problems syncing between Entourage calendar and my wife's iPhone (and now Apple dropping sync to Entourage in the new "forced" upgrade on MobileMe), I want to help my wife convert from Entourage to iCal. Anyplace to go for that help?

You can use Thundebird to replace Entourage and get the Lighting.Add-on to Thunderbird to replace the calendar of Entourage which USED TO synch over ical to Mobile Me as follows:
1. How to set up the iCal for Lightning and MobileMe
open Thunderbird
Install the Lightning add-on
Select “Preferences” “Advanced” “General”“Config Editor…”
yes, be careful
scroll down until you find “general.useragent.extra.lightning” andset the value to (nothing). you can also set the value to “ical” or whatever,just change it.
Close the config editor, close Thunderbird
Get the link to your iCal on MobileMe asfollows:
open ical (YES, iCAL)
right click the calendar under [email protected] youwant to access
select“get info”
copythe url after “CalDAV url:” it should read“/calendars/users/1.xxxxxxxxx/xxx-x-x-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx”
OpenThunderbird (assuming you have the Lightning add-on installed)
Within Thunderbird
File/ New / Calendar
onthe networkselect “CalDav”
intolocation: type the following (excluding the “”) :“https://cal.me.com:8443/calendars/users/1.xxxxxxxxx/xxx-x-x-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-x xxx-xxxxxxxxxxx”where the xxx stuff is the part of the url that you copied under 5. above.
Whenyou check what is written in the location field, it will end with a “/” which is correct.
This works fine for me.
If you want to back-up your calendar on Thunderbird/Lightning outside the cloud, goto iCal and export the file to a local location as backup.

Sync calendar info from phone to my new MacBook Pro.

I am trying to sync info from my iphone to my new Mac computer. Each time I sync it wipes all calendar dates off my phone and replaces with calendar info from computer. I have chosen merge each time it does not help. My original computer was a Dell and i used outlook orignally.

Contact their tech support department since it's their product, not Apple's. Did you read the user manual? You make no mention of doing so.

Switching from Entourage to ical, mail, and address book- duplications?

I am tired of the slowness of Entourage and was thinking of switching to all of the native mac programs. Any suggestions or comments on whether this is a good idea or not?
Also, will all of my information be duplicated. I have about 3 gigs of information and I don't want to needlessly store it if I don't need to. Can I get some advice on where to find and extract that information from the entourage program so I am not eating up disc space unnecessarily.
Thank you.

Three weeks ago I switched from Entourage and Palm Desktop to Apple mail, address book and ical. It was a tad painful because I ended up with a lot of duplicates as I had email and some contact info in Entourage and several thousand contacts in Palm Desktop.
However after a couple of solid nights sorting out the duplicates all the contact info for each person is now in one place.
Word of warning though when you are checking address book entries make sure you keep backing up the changes (File - Backup address book) because for some inexplicable reason a couple of times all the entries in address book vanished.
Also the check for duplicates option in address book might be great for some but for me it created contacts that had their addresses and phone numbers duplicated several times.
After initial teething problems (getting used to the different programs) I am now pretty happy with the changeover. I am ecstatic to not be seeing the constant Entourage error message of 'your database is damaged and needs to be rebuilt' which entourage kept throwing at me (even after repeated rebuilds).
I have a Palm Treo and Address Book and iCal sync fine with that as well (after installing the conduit).
You'll also find in mail that you can't do as much snazzy formatting as you could with Entourage (ie numbered lists and bullet points) but hopefully Apple will address that in later updates. In the meantime if I'm desperate for formatting I write the email in rtf and paste it across complete with bluet points.
Sorry to drone on but wanted to give you some moral support.
Oh by the way the entourage data is stored in Home folder - Documents - Microsoft User Data - Office 2004 Identities - main identity - database (almost need a compass and flashlight to find it). To be on the safe side burn it to a dvd just in case and then trash it and all it's little friends (rules, lists, signatures and the other main identity folders.
Good luck

Duplicate Events - Migrating from Entourage to iCal

Upgraded to Snow Leopard, and decided to try and make the big move from Entourage to Mail/iCal.
Mail and iCal have no issues whatsoever connecting to my Exchange 2007 server, but iCal creates two of every event in my iCal calendar. I also get notifications of new events in both Mail and in iCal, prompting me to accept the meeting in both applications.
Given that I'm typically scheduled in 50+ meetings a week, you can imagine how this quickly makes a mess of my calendar. In the meantime, I've taken my Mail account offline, deleted my iCal calendar, and gone back to Entourage, where everything appears normal.
I am not a MobileMe user.
Any clues? Thanks.

I'm having the exact same problem with Snow Leopard. Entourage is working fine but when I connect with iCal, I get tons of duplicate events. I deliberately not syncing via MobileMe until I get this sorted out so that is not a likely cause. We need some Apple folks' help on this fast!

How to restore calendar items from Entourage 2008 after upgrade to Lion (10.7.5)?

I held off upgrading to Lion because I had a bunch of old email I wanted to convert first. But now that Apple is no longer offering security updates for Snow Leopard, I decided to take the plunge. Unfortunately, after the Lion upgrade most of my calendar items in Entourage 2008 disappeared (and those that remained appeared in duplicate).
I think I should be able to access an uncorrupted version of my Main Identity folder for Office 2008 … because I have an Automator workflow that creates a daily backup, and that backup should be available through Time Machine. I turned off Time Machine after this calamity so that I wouldn't overwrite my Entourage Backup folder.
I need the July 8 or 9 version of: ~ / Documents / Entourage Backup / Main Identity.
But when I select the Entourage Backup folder and open Time Machine, all the Finder windows behind the current one go dark and I can't move backward toward an earlier date (I've done this with Time Machine turned off and on). This makes me think the Entourage Backup folder has not been getting backed up recently, or perhaps ever. Ugh.
When I check my Time Machine preferences, only the following items are shown as excluded from backups:
So it seems I should be in the clear and able to access Entourage Backup.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong in trying to restore from Time Machine? Or anything else I might be doing wrong?
Many thanks.

When I check my Time Machine preferences, only the following items are shown as excluded from backups:
Not sure how any of this relates to a Time Capsule....one of the hardware products that we support in this forum.....but we will try to help.
Main Identity is located as follows on your Mac:
Macintosh HD > Documents > Microsoft User Data > Office 2008 Identities > Main Indentity
Unfortunately, you have been excluding Microsoft User Data from your backups, so there is nothing to recover or restore.

Move calendar info FROM iphone TO windows calendar

Apologies if this has been answered. I've spent ages googling and searching here, but I can't seem to find an exact answer.
Although I may be the exception to the rule:
1. I do not want all of my windows mail contacts in my iphone (2nd gen). Therefore those have been input manually.
I did take the time to set up my 2009 calendar ON MY IPHONE. My windows calendar (vista home premium) has not been used.
It is possible to moe my calendar info TO WINDOWS CALENDAR from the IPHONE? I can see syncing info, but it seems to override the phone, and on music etc...not the calendar.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

If she can't, it's a pretty sad statement about interoperability of Google's products.
Take a look at the help pages at http://www.google.com/calendar.
This really doesn't have anything to do with the iPhone.

Transfering contacts and calendar info from iPhone to PC

I inadvertently deleted my contacts and calendar from my Outlook. The info is still on my iPhone. Is there a way to transfer that info from my iPhone to Outlook. For some reason, it did not work when I synced the two.

Create at least one contact and calendar entry in Outlook (make something up). Make sure that Contacts and Calendars are checked to sync (on the Info tab in iTunes with the iPhone connected). You should see a prompt to merge or replace data - choose MERGE. That will transfer your contacts from the phone to Outlook. If that doesn't work, reset your sync history (iTunes > Edit menu > Devices tab) then try syncing again.

How can I export Faces info from one library to another?

How can I export direct from one Library to another? Currently I am exporting to desktop and then importing to alternative Library. This works including file name and description. However Faces info is lost. How can I retain Faces info?

It is not possible to "export" face information - there is no defined place to put it

Export security-Info from planning to flat file

In planning there's the possibility of importing security information (assignedaccess) by the utility ImportSecurity.exe. Is there the possibility of exporting this information (e.g. access todimensions or forms) from planning to flat file. Note: In shared services there's another utility for import andexport of provisioning information (command-line tool) but thisdoesn't comprise import/export of security info of anapplication. RegardsGeri

Hello Geri, Currently, Planning 3.5.1 does not have any utility to export security out of planning. What you can do is this that generated PDF files through the application itself and then convert it in to text files and so on to load security via importsecurity.exe. Thanks, Scorpio

Exporting site info from CS3 to CS4

How do I export my "remote info" under "manage sites" from CS3 to CS4? I have about 30 sites under "manage sites" and would hate to have to dig up all the passwords after the upgrade. I used the "export" button in CS3, but it didn't bring in the remote info.

1. In CS3, open Site Manager
2. Select the sites you want to Export
3. Click Export and select a KNOWN location into which to write the *.ste files
4. Open CS4.
5. Open Site Manager
6. Click IMPORT, browse to and select the site files you just exported and click OK.
Such fundamental questions as this are always answered in DW's F1 Help. You'd have been done an hour ago if you had looked there.
