Import Entourage Calendar Notes into iCal

Hello...
Is there a way to import Entourage Calendar Notes into iCal's notes section? When I imported my data into iCal, none of the notes went with it. Thanks!
Daniel

Daniel, You missed the point. Read the whole post and you'll see that boxhead was acknowledging the notes to which you refer in iCal, all boxhead was saying was that notes in Entourage does not equal notes in iCal.

  • Importing Entourage calendar categories to iCal

    I have my Entourage calendar events color-coded using categories (ie yellow-bdays/anniv, blue-travel, green-meetings, etc.) and need to switch over to iCal so I can use ePocrates on my Treo. Is there any way to import Entourage to keep the categories, without having to go thru and individually reassign events in iCal to specific calendars? When I have tried importing Entourage to iCal, everything goes to a Entourage calendar and I lose all my categories.
    Thanks in advance for any advice/guidance that you may be able to share

    Is this a one-time switch? If so, the easiest thing might be to set up a "view" in Entourage for each of your categories. (If you haven't done this before it's pretty easy to do, create a new view, select the filtering options you want, in this case "Category" "Is" <category name here>). Save the view and then select it under "Calendar Views" in the Calendar window.
    When you select the calendar view you will see all your events for that category. You can select all of them and then drag them to either you desktop, or a folder. This will create an individual .ics for each of them. You can then drag all the .ics files at once into an open iCal window. Whatever calendar is active in iCal is the calendar the events will be imported to.
    You'll need to repeat this for each category -> calendar combination.
    (I just tried this and it worked for me, you can even undo the import if you so desire.)
    If you need to sync the 2 programs then this obviously won't do it for you. I don't know of any programs out there that would do this, so if you really need it you could create an applescript to take care of all of this. (That would be time-consuming, but once you get one category -> calendar process scripted it should be easy after that!)
    Post back with any questions.

  • Apple advice on importing Entourage calendar from iCal - taking forever!

    Hi everyone,
    got onto Apple support today asking about moving our entourage calendar to iCal. So, sounded simple enough. Opened iCal, chose import, selected entourage and away we go. 7 hours later (no, I'm not exaggerating) it has got about 3/4 of the way and now the progress bar hasn't moved more than about a millimeter in the past hour. What the heck do I do now? It's almost 2am here - just let it continue running until the morning? At this rate it might take the rest of the week to complete!
    Why would it take so long? Is this normal? Any faster way to achieve this? What about if I sync entourage and iCal, then when everything is there, export the entourage calendar from within iCal, then delete it, and then import it into the Home or Work calendar - would that work. This is so frustrating

    Same thing here. Drives me crazy. Been importing for days now, always have to force quit the app since it's stuck at around 75% of the import.
    Is there any way to get this to work?

  • Import Palm desktop todos into iCal

    Hi all,
    does anybody found a solution yet how to import palm desktop todos into ical. The export function of Palm Desktop is only tap/line or palm desktop format. Or is there a software which could translate this into vcal or ical?
    Thanks alot in advance - Christoph

    When I export Tasks from "Palm Desktop 4.2.1 and HotSync Manager Rev D (Mac)" (downloaded from http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/33219_en.html) there are only two format options, namely, "Palm Desktop," and "Tab & Return."
    Both options create tab-delimited files without headers. Unfortunately, the dates in these files dates in these files contain commas because they are formatted as:
    longMonthName dd, ccyy
    I've tried converting these files with lots of CSV (or TSV)-> iCal converters but I couldn't get any of them to work except for Toodledo (toodledo.com):
    http://www.toodledo.com/connect_text.php
    If anyone knows any other utility or service that can import tasks that are exported from Palm Desktop for Mac, please post them in a reply.
    Thanks.

  • Can't import Entourage database despite into Mail despite EVERYTHING?

    I want to complete my transition to Apple but have not been able to import my 16GB Entourage 2004 database despite 7 billion (give or take) attempts, and AppleCare support sessions that ended up with the old finger pointing at Microsoft. But rebuilding the Entourage database several time and checking its integrity (it's ok) with Entourage's Database Utility hasn't changed anything. The list of things I've tried is below, but the result is always the same; It gets about 3 minutes into the process, maybe about 1/20th of the progress bar, then stops (at a different file every time -- you can read which one it's on in the import panel), then nothing happens because everything freezes, not just the program, but the entire computer, which I haven't seen since OS9. Meaning I get the beachball but no matter how long I wait (all night once) I can't force quit, can't quit from the dock icon, can't change programs, can't access apple menu, nothing but turn it off. By the way I've done such Mail imports successfully on other computers so I know I'm doing the basics right. AND (get this) I've been able to import from the same database into iCal and Address Book. I do suspect it's a Microsoft database issue but I've rebuilt it several time and verified its integrity with the to no avail. If anyone can help I'd be deeply appreciative, and be proudly all-Apple finally. The things I've tried unsuccessfully:
    Started with the basic File/Import Mailboxes/Entourage as on other Macs
    Rebuilding Entourage database several times
    Rebuilding permissions multple times
    Restarting (billions of times)
    Trying it with and without mailboxes set up in Mail
    Re-installing Mail and running update
    Installing new OS system and running all updates (Archive and install)
    Running TechTools deluxe
    Trying to import one folder at a time instead of all
    Trying to drag Entourage folders to desktop then import as an mbox file (Mail doesn't recognize valid data)
    Checked and installed any software updates, rebuilt permissions again, restarted
    Ran Microsoft Autoupdate, I'm up to date
    Tried doing it under Safe Boot
    Checked the available disk space -- 360GB, plenty of room
    Trying to drag Entourage messages to Mail (doesn't work)
    No other problems with the computer
    Anyone, please? You're unofficially crowned King/Queen of Apple and get a trophy for beating their AppleCare tech support if you can figure it out,
    THANK YOU,
    Neil

    One thing to make sure when you are importing is that Entourage has to be running when you do the import.

  • Importing Entourage 2008 mailboxes into Mail.app loses message flags

    I'm in the process of migrating my data from Entourage 2008 to Mail, iCal and Address Book. The problem is that when I use Mail.app's built-in import from Entourage feature, the messages lose their flag status (read, unread, replied, forwarded, etc) in Mail.app. Does anyone know of a way to preserve this information? Cheers

    Well there are some suggested solutions on here if you search for them. Hoever, I eventually worked around it by just importing a section of my old email at a time. A bit tedious, but it worked.

  • Entourage calendar not synching

    My entourage calendar stopped synchronizing with my iPad and iPhone when I upgraded to iOS 6.  My email is still working. Any suggestions?

    Hi Andrew,
    Make sure you have installed the updates for Mac OS and Entourage. To install the Mac OS updates click the Apple in the top left corner of the screen, then click Software Update..
    Try Resetting the Sync History from the iSync applications preference screen.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iSync/2.0/en/isc39.html
    If the issue persists you can try Resetting the SyncServices folder.

  • Can I import my sbc/Yahoo calendar info into iCal?

    I posted a similar query regarding my Address Book and contacts so if anyone is lurking in both forums, my apologies for any redundancies…..
    I use Outlook on a PC at my office, and I have an sbcglobal/Yahoo mail account. I look upon my office Outlook as my ultimate contacts list (over 1,100 entries) and my master calendar, for both professional and personal appointments.
    I use the sbc/Yahoo-supplied free Intellisync software to sync all of my calendar and contacts from my office PC into sbc/Yahoo. That way I actually get e-mail reminders of appointments, etc. in addition to my Outlook notifications. It is actually pretty nifty.
    I have also successfully signed-on to my Yahoo account at home on my G4 and then exported all of my contacts from Yahoo (which had been populated by the PC Outlook listings via Intellisync) onto my desktop and then imported them into Address Book.
    Is there a similar method I can do to populate iCal with my Outlook information? I am getting this info by pinging sbcglobal/Yahoo which in turn has been fed the information from my office PC Outlook program.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks
    Theo

    I think using an csv file export will do the trick

  • Is there an easy way to import entourage email groups into address book?

    I don't want to import the contacts individually, but as group. Any assistance would be appreciated. Entourage 2004 and address book is 4.1

    First go to the avid site and download the avid codecs for the mac. Not sure if they'll have compatible codecs for such an old version, but worth a shot. then do a test export from the avid. It would probably be smart to convert the clips using compressor to match your fcp sequence settings. Not sure if the timecode would come across. You could note the timecode of the first frame on the avid and then modify the clip once imported into fcp. Test your workflow before doing a lot of work.
    You might also check if automatic duck's got something that would work.

  • Importing EMailed Calendar files into iPhone Calendar

    I receive .ics calendar files by EMail from work. on my iMac it is just a matter of dragging the file across to iCal and the file is imported. Is there any way to do this with the iPhone. I receive the EMail with the attached file, but clicking on the file just gives me a blank screen.

    The iPhone's Mail app _does not_ support .ics files. Event invitations can only be accepted on the iPhone via a MS Exchange account. Else, you need to access the .ics file on your computer, then sync the calendar to your phone.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • Microsoft Entourage Calendar not working after Mavericks upgrade

    After grading to Mavericks the Microsoft Entoruage Calendar sync has stopped working?  I have made sure that there are no updates from Microsoft so is there any way to get it working again?

    You were not using Mavaricks before either.
    You will need to contact Microsoft for Mac Support  and/or post in their forums.

  • Transferring outlook calendar events to iCal....automatically?

    My employer uses Outlook to arrange all meetings. While I have a Windows machine in the office, I happily own a Mac at home.
    I can access outlook appointments via Web Outlook, but would much rather be able to download this info straight into my iCal calendar - and see my work and social calendar at a glance.
    Although I realise this seems to be a general problem - does anyone know if there's a way of getting events from web outlook to iCal - better still automatically?

    I'm using Outlook2Mac to import Outlook calendar information into iCal. However, it doesn't work in the other direction - for which I'm still looking for a solution.

  • How do I publish calendars imported into iCal from a .ics file to iCloud rather than MobileMe?

    Having upgraded my iPhone4 & iPad to iOS5 and my iMac to OSX 10.7.2, I have been having trouble with duplicate calendar entries. Unfortunately, having deleted all but one calendar from the iCloud web interface, I heeded the mistaken advice to disable Calendars in the iCloud preference pane on the iMac and it deleted the calendars that had been removed from iCould from the iMac as well.
    A few false starts later, I was able, after disconnecting all my devices from the net, to restore my iCal calendars with TimeMachine from before the chaos started then exported them as .ics files. After rebooting and re-enabling the network to the iMac, iCloud sync purged the restored calendars from iCal again, so I imported the .ics files into iCal and published them again, but the publish options only include MobileMe or a private server, so I chose MobileMe. iCal now happily shows all my calendars on the iMac again, but the iCloud web Calendar app can't see them.
    How can I get iCloud to see the published iCal calendars again?

    Solved, I think! What you need to do is log on to your icloud account at www.icloud.com, go to the calendar screen, click the gearwheel and choose New Calendar. Create a calendar here (ie up on the iCloud) with the name you want for your imported calendar data. Then switch to iCal - you may have to quit and relaunch for the new iCloud calendar to appear (or it will probably do so automatically if you wait long enough) then import the data using File->Import->Import... When you get to the step where it asks which calendar you want to import the data into, choose the new iCloud calendar you've just created. Job done!
    To be complete in my answer, I don't think you can exactly do what you want to do, at least not at present. There doesn't seem to be any way to publish a calendar to iCloud after the first time you set up iCloud on your Mac when it exports any calendar data that is on the Mac at that time. I suppose that Apple feel that the way I have described works by exporting from one calendar and importing into another, so no need to provide a way of doing it directly.
