I need help to recover my Entourage and iCal

I have just synced my iphone - daily event - but this time all the calender entries hit the fan!  Oh dear, what a mess.  I appeared to have duplicateds of almost everything! 
So I went through day by day deleting and updated profiles etc.  then I thought Id check that iCal had everything (needed for the iphone sync) and found it had no entries at all!  I tried to use TM to go back to this morning on Entrouage with little effexct.  I had to reinstall Entrougage (2008).  All appeared ok - but then I checked iCal again and no sync services were imported. 
I then used the import from iCal to import entourgage and it appeared to do this several times.  I ended up again with duplicates calendars. 
I mistakingly then deleted the Entourage calendars from iCal which then deleted the Entourage entries.  I am in a right mess!  Somewhere through this process I did copy the main identity and have since imported that back into Entrouage but its come back without catogoriers and projects. 
Please... is there not a way I can just revert everything back to earlier this morning (I have Time Machine set up) without having to completely reinstall everything. I really miss thsat useful 'system estore' on PC! And.. if possible , has anyone any ideas why this happed?

Sorry to say that no one was able to help me.  Apples upport closed for the evening so I was on my own!!  I ended up having to reinstall OS X and restore to earlier time through time machne.  That was ok but iCal did not restore.  Entourage was ok - so I decided to import Entrouage again into iCal and started that process last night - and I have just aborted it as it was taking so many hours.  I thought perhaps i'd be better using Outlook 2011??  Just set that all up only to find that it doesn't sync with iCal???  How do I get that onto my iphone then?  Getting increasingly frustrated here....

  • TS4268 I need help getting my face time and imessage to work.

    I need help getting my face time and imessage to work. It is saying wating for activation. I just got my iphone 5 2 days ago. I have reset it from the phone and from itunes on the computer, made sure I'm attached to wifi.

    The 3 basic troubleshooting steps are these in order: 1. Restart your iphone  2.  Reset your settings/iphone  3.  Restore your iphone.  Since your iphone is only a couple of days old, you should backup your device before restoring.  If you don't have anything on your iphone that you care to lose, then simply restoring without a backup is fine.  A quick reset of pressing the sleep/wake button (top of iphone) and your home button simultaneously and holding it until the silver Apple logo appears.

  • I need help integrating Microsoft Office, Outlook and Calendar with my job and is it possible

    Ok guys I am new to the iphone 4s. I just dumped my Blackberry after 10 years. I need help integrating Microsoft Office, Outlook and Calendar with my job and is it possible? Also I need it to automatically push email and appointments to my phone? I will buy any app just need to know which is best for work environment. Here is what I am thinking about doing. http://www.groovypost.com/howto/apple/sync-iphone-or-ipod-touch-calendar-and-con tacts-with-google/ Is this the best way? For personal use I am using paid G whiz app

    I use Google Calendar Sync to sync my work Outlook calendar to a gmail account, then sync that to my iPhone.  It works well for me for the past couple of years.
    As far as mail itself, just ask your it folks for settings for remote access to your exchange account, and then set it up on the phone.
    As far as working with Office docs, to be able to actually edit them and such, look in the app store for DocsToGo or QuickOffice - they both are good but each has it's pros and cons, so on balance it's down to mere preference i think.

  • Can't get entourage and ical to sync

    Hi,
    I've had a macbook for a while but got an iphone 3gs last week and I'm just trying to set it up. My addresses and contacts seem to be syncing to my iphone OK but not my entourage 2004 calendar. I have gone into entourage preferences and ticked all the synch boxes and when I open ical I have an entourage calendar but none of my appointments are on there (the only thing that is are public holidays and birthdays?).
    When I tried to sync entourage with ical he just hung so I thought this may be due to number of entourage calendar entries. So I went onto entourage and changed it so that anything over 12 months old is deleted but now I have checked and I still have all my calendar entries on entourage from 2005 so that hasn't worked. How can I delete the old calendar entries?
    So as I understand it in order for my calendar to be synced on my iphone it has to go through ical (even though I don't use that on my Macbook). As I can't get entourage to sync my calendar with ical I can't get my calendar onto my iphone at present which is a real pain.
    Would I be better looking at mobileme or something similar or do I just need to setup entourage and ical differently?
    As you can see I really need some help! All advice very gratefully received.
    Cheers
    Ergo

    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.

  • Need help urgently with OS X and Windows 7

    I need help urgently.
    I installed Windows 7 on my macbook pro with OS X Lion. After installing Windows7, I accidently converted the basic volumes to dynamic volumes and now i can't even boot to OS X.
    Please help me how to recover my OS X Lion. If I have to delete Windows and bootcamp partitions, it is OK.
    I just want to get back my OS X bootable.
    Thanks

    Sorry
    I can't even see the OS X partition when I hold down the "Option" key.
    I could see OS X and Windows partitions if I hold down Option key before changing the partitions to Dynamic partitions from Basic in Windows 7.
    Now can't see OS X partiton and only see Winodws partition but when I tried to boot onto Windows7 , I got BSOD and macbook pro restart.
    Please help
    The usual reason for the OSX partition to be invisible under these circumstances is that it has been trashed by Windows.
    Do you have a backup?

  • I need help badly with my ibook and palm pilot

    Good day. I recently fixed my ibook and my palm to sync with each other. I configured my palm to sync with entourage. I then realized that it would be much better that if I sync my palm pilot with the palm desktop. Gow do I now reverse this? How do i cancel entourage to sync with my pal pilot. please advise. need help badly on this. thanks... i just like to feep my files organized and i find it difficult using entourage...my palm pilot is a palm TX...

    I also have a Palm handheld. I use iCal and Address Book more than Entourage. This is what I did:
    At first, I tried to adapt to Palm Desktop. I didn't like it, so I looked for the *iSync Conduit*. I found it and installed it. Then, I ignored the Palm desktop software (except the HotSync utility) and have used iSync with iCal and Address Book since.
    I know that doesn't answer the question about switching from Entourage, but Desktop isn't that great either. iSync is what I recommend.

  • Need Help with External Hard drives and too much music

    I am not terribly tech-savvy, and I need your help. I have a G5 PPC dual processor with an internal 250GB drive. I have two seagate firewire/USB2 external hard drives. One is 250GB and one is 350GB. I want to know how to use them to get my Mac to run faster and better.
    My original hard drive is 7GB shy of being full. Almost half of this is my itunes library which is over 100GB. The older (250GB) hard drive has about 150GB of photos/videos.
    My Mac is running slow as molasses and when I power up the external hard drives it slows down to what I recall my original Mac Plus ran like.
    I use the G5 primarily to work with photos, illustrations and creating the occasional DVD with video and photos. the apps I use most often are Photoshop, Illustrator and Painter. I always listen to music while work.
    I hope all of this information is helpful! Here is my question:
    What is the best way for me to set up and use these external hard drives to return my G5 to its original blazing (to me) fast speed?
    PPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    I think you should look at adding two 500GB internal drives. I'd say Maxtor MaxLine Pro for cost, but they also run much warmer (43ºC even when nearly doing zilch) so I'd go with WD RE2 500GB for $40 ea. more.
    dump whatever you don't need, trash anything that is hogging space and is just temp file or useless cache. Web browsers can leave behind a ton of small files eating up tens of MBs.
    Use SuperDuper to backup/clone your drive.
    Disk Warrior 4 to repair (after it gets to 15% free, or just forget for now).
    A 250GB drive formats to 240GB and you have ~3% free it looks like.
    For every data drive plan to have two backup drives.
    Keep your boot drive to 40% used.
    And your data drive to 60%.
    Backups can go a little higher.
    Drives are cheap and inexpensive, especially for the space and performance. And they have improved SATA over the years it has been out.
    By doing a backup followed by erasing your drive, and then restoring it, using SuperDuper, which optimizes the organization, skips copying temp files that aren't needed, it also defragments your files. I would do backup daily to different sets that you "rotate." And before any OS update. And do the erase and restore probably every 2 months.
    Make sure you keep one drive partition somewhere that is just your disk utility emergency boot drive that is not a copy of working system, used for doing repairs like running Disk Warrior and Disk Utility.
    You may need to repair; backup; even erase and restore your external drives. Rather than spend on vendor made case, just pick up a good FireWire case either with drive, or bare (and add your own). I think it'd add 500GB FW drive though.
    Why?
    To begin backup of your current drive. To leave your other FW drives "as is" for now.
    Then install a new internal 500GB drive as well so you now have a good current backup, and you have moved your data off 250GB to 500GB. If anything happens, you have one off line FW backup.
    Then begin to clean up, organize, and get your FW drives working. It sure sounds like they have had some directory or file problems.
    You can find a lot of Firewire and SATA drive choices over at OWC:

  • Need help with ext. SWF and XML

    I'm trying to create an External SWF to load into my main
    site (photography).
    Home | Portfolio | Published Work | Bio | Contact
    The SWF I want to load externally is Portfolio because it has
    5 sections
    Those 5 sections are:
    -Editorial
    -Adventure
    -Fly Fishing
    -Multimedia
    -Weddings
    I'm looking to keep this dynamic as possible, but I'm one of
    those guys who doesn't write code from scratch, but knows AS well
    enough to modify a base or a generic template if ever given. It
    would be easier to use one subsection as an example, which could be
    applied to all others.
    e.g. "Fly Fishing" 1-Main container; 5-10 thumbnails (1
    dyanamic thumbnailcontainer)
    - I don't know XML (but can modify it). basically having an
    ID tag for each image, possibly dynamically generate a thumbnail
    too. Also have a spot for dynamic text to load in (captions with
    multiple text lines for images upon onRelease - maybe this could be
    it's own MC that loads on top of the main photo container)
    - on (release) on a thumbnail: there would be a little
    information icon that would appear. If you mouse over, it would
    overlay a layer over that specific ID photo, and the text appear.
    RollOut it would fade out the layer above that specific ID photo.
    - Transition: FadeOut/Blur/Exposure Blur, something
    interesting to that nature.
    - Thumbnails: is it just easier to create thumbnail images
    manually, and just create a separate container?
    - Image folders: I would imagine each section would have
    it's own watch folder. For example "Fly Fishing" would be a folder
    "/swfImg_flyFishing/", but perhaps having one XML file.
    - XML file details
    id
    location
    caption summary
    title
    As you can see, if I had one template to build off of, I
    could repeat it self for the others. I need help and if there is a
    flash component (free or purchase) that does at least 70% of what I
    need, please share information. thank you!Portfolio

    I know doing a pushback to the client requires Flex Data
    Services, but since I don't use FDS I can't tell you exactly how.
    But look in the documentation about "pushing" data to the client.
    Once you've figured out how to do that, you can trigger that push
    once you've finished editing the xml file. You may want to ask over
    in the FDS forum.
