Export iCal to Entourage

Hi there
I have been using iCal for several months now but am tired of its limitations and have just purchased Entourage 2004 for integtared calendar and email etc.
I can't figure out how to export the whole iCal calandar to Entourage. I manage to do one event at a time by using the EXPORT function, but this would take forever..
Can anyone help? Thanks
Mark

Mark, did you ever find a way to do this? I want to do the same thing, with a twist. The twist is, I want to go from Palm Desktop to Entourage calendar, but I think I can get from PD to iCal, its just the part that you want that I am interested in too. Let me know if you have a solution, please.
Thanks,
Sheila

Ical and Entourage not syncing

When i put a new calendar item on my iphone it syncs with my ical but not with my entourage...which is where i do all my calendar rearranging. From Entourage to ical and to iphone it works great. Just not the other way around. Please help. thanks.

Here's the fix! Go to Entourage and do a file/export and select the radio button "Items to an Entourage archive", then check mark ONLY the "Local Calendar Events" check box. Click the arrow at the bottom left, then check the radio button "Yes, delete items belonging to another project or category". NOTE: All your calendar events are still in iCal, and on your iPhone! Clicke the arrow and go through the process of archiving and deleting events from your Entourage Calendar file - you will settings disappearing from Entourage if you have the calendar open. Do a sync! After this sync check to see if you have two Entourage Calendars in iCal (I did) and delete the one that is empty. The other one remaining is your main Calendar info from Entourage. NOTE: One good thing about this methodology of using Apples iCal and Address book apps to transport data between the iPhone and Entourage is that you always have a back up in those Apps! When I deleted the empty duplicate Entourage calendar in iCal, all the information synced between iCal and Entourage restoring by empty Entourage calendar. Then I synced the iPhone in iTunes and all was back to normal. NOTE: Be sure you have the HOME and Entourage checkboxes checked in your info/calendars section as described in the original syncing with iPhone and Entourage instructions on the Apple website. NOTE: In my case contacts was no affected, only calendar events. Also, syncing was happening between the iPhone and iCal just fine, but not between iCal and Entourage. I'm sure there may be variances of this issue... but it looks like the best overall fix is to export your Entourage calendar event and delete at the same time, then delete that duplicated Entourage Calendar in iCal, and go from there. NOTE: When I did a global sync I ended up with 177 new contacts that were duplicate of two different email messages that somehow got converted to contacts and ended up in my iPhone. The fix for that was to select them all in Entourage and delete them then do another sync, then ALL was back to normal. I am now HAPPY AGAIN! Carl

Export iCal

Can I export iCal to a Word processing document like Word or Appleworks or Pages? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'd be interested in this - so far I have thought of using grabber & cutting & pasting from .Mac, but neither are satisfactory really.

ICal with Entourage Syncing

Hi, Can't sync iCal and Entourage calenders. Had this working but upgraded (hah!) to Outlook for Mac and now going back to Entourage won't sync.
iCal external sync is crashing daily according to crash log.
Have tried deleting syncs and starting again. No joy. Entourage shows in iCal as calender but no data.
All software up to date.

Hello, Julian, original macrat and LizKual ~
I have the same problem as macrat and Liz. Syncing (I'm not talking about iSync; I'm talking about Sync Services) between Entourage 2008 and iCal was working just fine until March 16.
Initially, the Entourage calendar, with all its entries, disappeared from iCal. But with some help from the folks in the Microsoft support forums, I was able to get the Entourage calendar to show up again on the list in iCal's left-hand column but, unfortunately, still without any events.
I've been plugging away in the Microsoft forums ever since. Can you believe this?! I haven't been able to use the calendar on my iPhone since March 16!
See:

http://www.office.mvps.org/syncservices/ical.html#calsync5
http://www.office.mvps.org/faq_topic/duplicates.html
I have done every relevant thing suggested on these four pages. I still don't have any Entourage events showing up in iCal (although Entourage 2 is on the list of iCal calendars) and now I have a massive number of duplicates, triplicates, quadruplicates, etc., appearing in my Entourage calendar. The only thing on the above-mentioned pages that I haven't yet tried is Syncrospector. (I bought Xcode and then discovered it was probably included as part of Snow Leopard. Oh well, I'm soldiering on, even though I'm in way over my head.)
Do you know whether someone has already assembled the code needed to get Syncrospector to eliminate the masses of duplicate calendar entries that Entourage 2008 stands ready to send to Sync Services? Such info — or, even better, a link — would be much appreciated. :-) I've been preparing for this undertaking, but at this rate it could be another two months before I succeed.
Of course, even after I get rid of the duplicates, I'll still need to find a way to get Sync Services to communicate between Entourage and iCal — which is its job, after all. Suggestions on that point would also be welcome. Maybe Sync Services is choking on the duplicates and that's why it's not sending anything to iCal. If so, then maybe Syncrospector will take care of both problems. I can only hope.
Thanks very much.

Import iCal into Entourage

I have been using iCal for some time, and have numerous Calendars I wish to "import" into Entourage. I have tried synching with .mac but no joy. I seem unable to "copy" the calendars over. Is there a easy way of doing this?
Justin

Justin,
Searching Apple Discussions with: import iCal into Entourage provides some possible helpful replies.

Can't sync BB with OS X 10.5.4 using iCal or Entourage

Hello!
I've been a Blackberry user for a couple of years and have recently switched from Microsoft Outlook to the Apple. I cannot get PocketMac sync to work properly with either iCal or Entourage. I can sync from the Blackberry to the Apple, so my device is recognized, but not the other way around (either using the merge or 'overwrite device' options). Pocketmac acts as though sync is occurring and displays no errors, but no changes are made to the Blackberry handheld. Entering everything only on the handheld is a major pain!
I've tried syncing to iCal and to Entourage individually and neither seems to perform sync BACK to the handheld.
PocketMac suggests running a clean sync utility or rebuilding the Entourage database, both of which I have done to no avail.
Does anyone else have suggestions for syncing with an Apple, short of purchasing an iPhone?
HELP and THANKS! K.

I currently do this with an iMac along with EyeTV and Time Machine. There used to be limitations with older versions of iLife, but I think it was just the installer being difficult, but those are no longer present in the shipping versions of Server and iLife. Time Machine might be considered an issue because by default, Time Machine doesn't back up a few directories which would not have any bearing on normal OS X, but is a bit daunting with OS X Server, specifically /var/spool/ as this is where all mail is stored. You can override this behavior by modifying the Exclusion file in /System/ which some would consider a no no.

Can't Export iCal Archive to iDisk

Why can't I export an iCal Archive to iDisk?
Please try this:
iCal > File > Export > iCal Archive and select iDisk as a destination.
Such an export attempt just hangs for me in Snow Leopard and Lion.
The same type of export works with Address Book:
Address Book > File > Export > Address Book Archive then select iDisk as a target. This works.
Can anyone please explain why this doesn't work for iCal?

Well, since I use Earthlink through Time Warner, I am running on similar circuits. Do not have another option. That may be part of the problem.
Apple's interface is another. I consider it to be uninformative. The window appearing causes it to seem that the file transfer took place quickly however if you look more closely and think about it, the transfer rate for the display is too great to be true.
Oh, I wish I had a T-1 line but....
Part of the problem may be that my internet connection is through Airport. An Airport network is not that fast.
After a long period of frustration in transferring files between my computer and that of my wife using Airport, I decided to heck with it and connected us and our printer through an ethernet Gigabit LAN. The speed is great!!
One of these days I will get around to drilling holes in the wall to run the cables through closets, etc., rather than along the hall.

Is it possible to export (synchronize) my entourage calendar to mac outlok 11?

Hi all I'd like to asl if there is it possible to export (synchronize) my entourage calendar to mac outlook 11?
Thanks very much in advance for your comments

You might try following this tutorial in order to get a copy of your current library reduced to just those photos that are in your book and those that you want which would not be on your iMac: iP08 - Archiving an iPhoto Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date. If you find you need photos from your iMac library you can use iPhoto Library Manager to copy them via an album to the book library.
This will also allow you to save the library for use later on to order another copy of the book or make additional edits before ordering a second copy.

Syncing ical to Entourage -- only first event syncs!

Hi. I set up Entourage to sync with iCal. This created an Entourage calendar in iCal, so far so good. I created a new event in iCal and put it in the Entourage calendar. Go over to Entourage and it has synced up nicely. Great so far.
Then I go back to iCal and change all my stuff over to the Entourage calendar. Go back to Entourage. Nothing. I go to the Calendar pull-down and select SyncNow. Nothing. The one event that synced ok before is still there, but nothing else. I go back to iCal and create new events and these wont sync.
What happened?! Help!
Thanks.

Can you give a bit more information about what you've done? When you say you have gone back to iCal and changed all your stuff to the Entourage calendar, do you mean that you changed individual events to the Entourage calendar in iCal. Does that mean this is the only calendar left in iCal?
If so, then my suggestion is:
1) back up your iCal calendar - File, Back up iCal
2) ensure the calendar name in iCal is "Entourage"
3) go to Entourage preferences and untick "synchronise events & tasks with iCal"
4) quit Entourage, open Entourage and tick "synchronise events & tasks with iCal" again
5) you will be asked before it syncs how you wish the sync to occur and you should select to have iCal override Entourage.
If I'm right you should end up with a calendar in the Entourage application which reflects your Entourage calendar in iCal.

ICal and Entourage Sharing

I've noticed that in Entourage the Address Book in the program is the same as in the Apple Address Book. However, when I add an item to the calendar in Entourage, it is not displayed in iCal or vice-versa. Is this possible? If not, why would one be synched with one another and not another program? Thanks!

Went to Entourage and setup Sync Services in effort to have iCal and Entourage talk to each other, vice versa. iCal will recognize changes in Entourage, but Entourage will not take /recognize changes in iCal. What am I doing wrong?

I want to export iCal to Google Calendar on a PC

I've searched a bunch of forums but none of the instructions match. They all say click on the calendar you want to export, then click file, export etc etc
The problem is that on a PC, there are no file/export options. All I have are calendars on the left and I can click a button the "share" the calendar.
So anyone know how to export iCal to Google calendar on a PC? Thanks.

Found it. FYI, you have to "share" the calendar you want to back up or export. Copy and paste the URL given into your browser, but do NOT hit enter. Change the "webcal" at the beginning to "http" then hit enter. It's automatically downloaded to your default location. Then you can import the ICS file directly into Google calendar.
