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

ICal and Entourage quit syncing

I use Entourage 2004 as my calendar and sync it with iCal and hence to my iPhone. This has always worked very well. However, I had to do a rebuild of my Entourage database and now iCal no longer syncs. Any thought son what happened and how to fix it?

I kept searching and found a solution from Kerry at http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage/browse_thre ad/thread/a758c477739cdab3/5b609b739511232e#5b609b739511232e
Thanks!
This worked for me. Of course, it means choosing to update either the Calendar or my Contacts but for now, this is better than the mess I was having. Here is Kerry's solution:
*The best thing to do is sync only one module, in my case its Calendar as this is the thing I change all the time whereas I rarely change contacts.
1. Go into Entourage PREFERENCES > SYNC SERVICES > UNCHECK SYNC SERVICES
2. Back up your main Entourage identity and iCal.
3. Open and Run iSync.
4. Go into iSync prefs and reset sync history.
5. Restore the iCal calendar from the backup. This resets sync services.
6. Delete the Entourage calendar in iCal (this will avoid dups).
7. Go to Entourage and in prefs in sync services enable (check)
Calendar and when the popup appears choose Merge then OK. Entourage
will recreate an Entourage calendar in iCal and populate it with its
information (this takes a few seconds depending on the size of the
calendar. Sync should work both ways now.
Note: I would not turn on Contacts as this will cause sync services to become unstable again.

ICal and iCloud not syncing

Since migrating over to iCloud, my iCal entries aren't syncing with my iPhone. I'm getting a message saying - The calendar https://cal.me.com:8443/principals/users/1.122543010/ was not found on the server. Make sure the URL is correct.
How do I sort this out?
many thanks
Darryn

Your signature says you have 10.6.4 - this is not compatible with iCloud. However it is possible to set Mail up manually for iCloud email, and there is an unsupported hack which may enable to sync iCal with iCloud.

Keeping iCal and Entourage in Sync

I am moving a lot of my email and calendar stuff over to Entourage, but iCal and Address Book are easier to sync to external things and web links, so I have these running too.
I set Entourage to sync up to iCal and it did this, merging my calendars nicely. However, then I ran iSync to pull the latest stuff from my phone and iCal was updated, but Entourage wasn't. Do I have to run a job to get this to happen? There didn't seem to be any option do this, so how do I keep them in Sync. I already have the boxes ticked to keep Entouage synced with Address book and iCal.

My understanding of MobileMe, when it works, is that it only syncs certain things. I would want all my files, iTunes music etc. to be copied too. Everything! A mirror. Possible?

ICal and Entourage not launching

I recently started having problems with Microsoft Entourage on my Mac Book Pro. I purchased the unit via the college I attend and the software was pre-loaded. The prompt I'm getting is that the program has failed to launch thus not allowing me into iCal. I've tried to rebuild the database but it says that it is properly built. Any suggestions

Problems syncing appts on BB Curve to iCal and Entourage

I just got my Curve and amd having problems getting any appointments made on the BB into iCal and Entourage. I'm not sure what the problem is and hope someone can help me. I have two personal emails accounts set up on the BB and some of the appts have one of my email accounts listed up on top, where it says "send using" and the others have "default" listed under "send using". Is that somehow related to my problem? Thanks.

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'm using a Mac to sync my devices , but the Windows Address Book should also work, as well as the apps which store the data in the cloud like Google and Yahoo for example. See also page 48 in the iPod_touch_iOS4_User_Guide
Contacts
You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Windows Contacts (Vista and Windows 7), or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with one application at a time.)
If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your new login information when you
change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve set up syncing.
Calendars
You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)
Did you already try to reset the Sync history in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, as suggested in the Troubleshooting article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 ?

Perhaps this web page will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1229
But I must point out that leaving the iPhoto Library on the external is worth considering. Your internal drive would be better off without having to carry the photos.
When you booted with the external connected and you were asked for the library, did you try navigating to the Library in on the external drive?

I am installing itunes to a laptop and have not sync device to this lap. It is saying that it must first restore device. The problem is I have over 2000 pictures and don't want to lose them. Now my phone is in restore mode and I don't know what to do. I don't want to proceed and loose these very important photos of family. What do I do to get it out of restore mode? My phone will not allow me to do anything to it at this point. I have the itunes downloaded on the laptop now. When I push the button for the phone it just shows Itunes and plug. I can't even call or open phone up.

Unfortunately... Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

Using a computer, other than the one you have regularily been Syncing and Backing up to, was the begining of your issue.

HT1212 my iphone is disabled and it wont give me a chance to do the passcode and its not synced how do i fix it

My phone is disabled for a long time and its not synced how can i change the passcode

You need to restore the device. It is the only way to disable the passcode. Your data is already lost unless you have synced this phone in the past. See this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

HT4489 Ever since the last update IOS5.1.1, calendar entries are not saved on Icloud, and would not sync on all I clould devices

After the last update of IOS5.1.1, all caledar entries are not saved on Icloud and thus not synced on all my Icloud devices, even though, spreadsheets are synced, photostream is working and contacts is syncing, only calendar items. Anybody has the same problem? Or a solution to this kind or problem?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

you did enable Music syncing in iTunes, yes?

Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

Yes, it will. You cannot merge information on the phone. If you want the old messages, you will need to restore from a backup of the old phone, which will make the new phone look just like the old phone. If you want to save the messages from the new phone, you will not be able to get the messages from the old phone.
