Can't get iCal and Address Book to sync properly

I recently upgraded to Office 2008. Since then, I can't get iCal and Address book to sync properly with Entourage 2008 (I did set all three sync criteria in Entourage preferences). None of Entourage's events go into iCal (iCal is blank) and the Address Book has 10 times as many names as Entourage. Everything in Entourage 2008 is correct and everything in iCal and Address Book is essentially wrong.
Is there some way for me to erase everything in Address Book and iCal and start the sync between them and Entourage from scratch? Ultimately, I am trying to get Entourage to sync with my new Blackberry, which it does through iCal and Address Book using Missing Sync. I can't make this happen until information is flowing properly from Entourage to iCal and Address Book.
Thank you!

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.

How to import bookmarks and address book from another laptop?

I have another laptop that has my bookmarks and address book on it. How can I import this to my new laptop? The other laptop also uses Firefox as its browser.

Similar problem here,
I have a month-old archived version of my AddressBook, but today my entire rolodex vanished when the program froze and I force quit. I have a much more recent update on my ipod and have made significant additions/editions in the past month. Can I retrieve all that data from my iPod??
Help!

Bookmarks and Address Book don't sync in my iPAD

I have an iPad and Address Book and Safari Bookmarks stopped syncing. Any idea what to do. I have deleted my mobileme account twice, rebuilt it and reset also mobileme data twice. nothing helps.

The iPad does have a number of requirements for the MPEG-4 formatted video. If it's h.264 encoded (that is, an MPEG-4 file that adheres to the profile specified in section h.264 of the MPEG standard), it can be up to 1080p @ 30fps, otherwise for all other variations of MP4, the limit is 640x480 @ 30 fps and 2.5 Mbps. Audio maxes out at 160 kbps/channel 48kHz and in the AAC-LC format.
In iTunes, you can coerce a video to an iPad-compatible format using Advanced > Create iPad or Apple TV Version.

Mailboxes and address book missing from restored program files

I re-installed TB 3.1.20, after having to re-install Windows Vista, with all other software and data. I then restored my TB files from a NTI Backup NOW file (when I back up files I include the program files for TB so I don't lose mailboxes and the address book). However when opening TB neither my mailboxes or address book are there. This system has worked in the past, so I trusted it would this time as well.
Any idea how to find and restore them?

Your mail and address book is stored in your Thunderbird profile. The profile is separate from the Thunderbird program installation.
Check this article to locate your profile folder.

If you do have a backup of your profile folder follow these instructions to restore it.

Getting iCal and Address Book onto Palm Pre (if you use Missing Sync)

If you use Missing Sync to sync your address book/iCal to your Palm, it looks like you will have to setup a Gmail account and a Google calendar. You can then export your iCal calendars to a folder and import them into your Google calendar from the web. Download a free trial of Spanning Sync to sync your contacts (only!!) to your Google contacts and then your Palm Pre should be able to subscribe to your Google calendar and your google contacts (Which should be identical to your iCal). The only question from here is how any new contacts or appointments on your computer will sync to the Pre. Maybe Missing Sync will come out with something.
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

I'm running Missing Sync 1.0.2 for Palm Pre and WebOS 1.4. It seems to work but it is really slow - takes 11 minutes to sync my contacts and calendars over a fast wifi connection. I have about 1000 contacts and a complex calendar, but i'm only syncing 2 months past and future.
i opened a ticket about this, we'll see what happens.
Does anyone have any experience with the speed of Missing Sync over wifi prior to webOS 1.4? This is a new device, i updated it to 1.4 immediately before installing Missing Sync.

I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one?

I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one? There are only a few of the contacts I had, so there must be a location where the rest are, but not sure where to look. And once I find them (with your help), how do I get them into the address book?

If you copy abook.mab or history.mab into a profile folder, they will show up as Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses. But if the mab files have names other than abook or history, they can only be imported to TB with the use of [https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook].

How can i get my previous address book into my current email?

I use to use road runner as my email but always so slow so I started using Hotmail, had lots of problems with Hotmail so I went back to using rr but I can't get my old address book, I access rr via Mozilla and I didn't before. I can open my previous rr and all the addresses are there but can't figure out how to get them into my new account.
Thanks

Export them from where ever they are, either as CSV or LDIF format.
Import them to Thunderbirds address book. Tools (Alt_T) > import > address books

Levi G B ... Also found another thread by Davidfromsurfside on 10/14/11 0703A with the same problem. I responded on his thread "I have the same problem. IOS5 on iPad1, iPad2 and iPhone4S all with iCloud on. Lion 10.7.2 installed on my MacBookPro and iCloud set up/on. Any new iCal entry on either iPad or on the iPhone ends up via iCloud on both iPads and iPhone. BUT NOT ON THE MacBookPro. And iCal entry on the MacBookPro does NOT GET SENT to iCloud.com or to either iPad or the iPhone. This is a huge problem for me because I do all my office scheduling on the iPad or iPhone but rely on the MakeBookPro to print out daily client lists. I REALLY need to get this fixed...it is causing major business issues. " No one so far has had a fix.... :(

"iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices."

How do I get my old e-mails and address book back?

My old computer died and I had to purchase a new one. The hard drive from the old computer is OK and I can access the files on it. What I need to do is get all my old e-mails and address book from the old hard drive and load them to Thunderbird on the new computer. I tried using the "import" feature, but it will not locate the old files. Could someone tell me where to find these files and how can I get them transferred to the new computer?

If you haven't done too much already on the new computer, you could just copy the old profile over from the old computer to the new one.
If there is already a collection of messages in the new installation, then I'd copy in the old profile, set it as default, then use the ImportExportTools add-on to import the mailbox files from the new profile, thereby bringing the old profile up to date.

Can I put Mail and Address book from my backed up dead Mac to my new one

My powerpc G5 Imac just died. It was completely backed up to Mozy, and I would like to restore my Mail and Address book from that machine on the new Snow Leopard machine I bought today. Is that possible?

if you are completely backed up then yes. copy the following items from the old computer to the corresponding locations on the new computer
/users/yourusername/library/mail (copy the whole folder)
/users/yourusername/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
/users/yourusername/library/application support/address book (copy the whole folder).
star Mail and address book and they should look as they did on the old computer.

Is it possible to keep Contact List and Address Book seperate on iPhone?

I just made the switch today- big time – from Motorola to iPhone, and from PC to iMac, plus a Macbook Air as well for travel. Thanks to iphone and Mac forums I have been able to resolve most newbie issues and have exported my data, files and contacts without problem.
However there is one issue I have not been able to resolve or clarify:
- My old phone contact list has now been transferred my new iPhone, consisting of about 100 phone numbers which I use regularly.
- Address Book in my new iMac contains about 800 contacts including phone numbers, clients, etc, as well as personal bank account numbers, and other confidential data in the “Notes” field, which I need to refer to only occasionally.
But I understand that if I sync my iPhone with my Mac, it will merge my Address Book contacts on Mac, with the phone contacts on my iPhone Contact list, into one list. Is this true? Is it not possible to maintain 2 separate Apps on my iPhone, i.e
1. The iPhone Contact list for frequently used telephone contacts, and
2. The Mac Address Book with more detailed notes and account numbers, which I only need to refer to occasionally?
3. If this is possible, can I configure it so that a password is required each time the Address Book on iPhone is accessed? (I realise I can configure the iphone to require a pin when turned on), but I would like a password to access the Address App because of the confidential data. Previously I had all this data contained on a Palm Zire 72 handheld and its PC Desktop counterpart, where a password was required to access.
From what I’ve read on the forums, it will be very cumbersome to have a phone contact list with 1000 names on it, so I want to keep phone contacts simple with phone numbers only. (I realise I can set up Group folders in Address Book, but this is not what I need). I'm also concerned about having confidential information on my iPhone which can be accessed without a password for that particular application. I intend to get MobileMe but that also does not address the issue of keeping Telephone Contacts seperate from Address Book on iPhone.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Speculating:
if, as already suggested, you use the Groups function to sync only the 100 contact list numbers, then how to get the expanded Address Book?
I've not used it myself, but Bento might be worth looking into--Bento on the Mac pulls your Address Book data (I'm pretty sure) and syncs to Bento iPhone.
I don't recall hearing about any alternate phone books, but since pretty much any program on the Mac can hook into the Address Book, you might look at the more powerful note organizers to see if any of them pull that data?
You might have a problem getting notes added on the phone back into Address Book on the Mac, though.
I actually right now keep my main address book in MS Entourage (similar to Outlook), and only use the Mac Address Book to sync to the iPhone. I could sync Entourage to Address Book, but I don't--haven't sorted out the data yet, and I don't really need all the same numbers in both places.
If that sounds possible, you might look at Mark/Space and Missing Sync for iPhone---something like keeping all 800 contacts in Entourage, and syncing them all, but moving the confidential portion of each contact into Entourage Notes and syncing those via Missing Sync, perhaps might work. (I think you can link a contact to a note in Entourage)
An interesting problem. You might also send feedback to Apple:
http://apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
as this is really not a usage scenario they've planned for. They probably don't care, though--doesn't seem all that common.
