Outook PST to Entourage, iCal etc?

I know its probably been asked many times before and I have read a few posts and googled it many times. I have Outlook 2007 with about a 2-3gig PST. I am looking to go over to the dark side (iMac) and want to know the best way of converting this into Entourage with attachments dates etc all keep in the emails.
Any feedback or suggestions welcome.

I ended up getting MobileMe in the end, and it worked a treat...cheers

Calendar syncing Iphone/Entourage/Ical/Lion OX 10.7.2

Ok - so this is driving me a little crazy.
I upgraded from Leopard 10.5 to Snow Leopard 10.6 and finally to Lion 10.7.2.
Upgraded my iphone to IOS 5.0
I use Entourage as my primary email and calendar.
I clicked the synchronize contacts and also calendars in the preferences panel under sync services.
What are the correct settings in;
Iphone
Entourage
Ical
Any where else
For my Iphone, Ical and Entourage Calendars to always be in sync?
I want to be able to make changes from my phone and from Entourage. I never change a thing in Ical, I just use it for syncing.
Also, why can I not find the invitees option in my Iphone Calendar? Does it need to be switched on somewhere in the settings??
PLEASE HELP!?

Sorry that I did not mention that the problem with iCal is happening in my MacBook air, not in the iPhone.
Regards.

Whenever I turn my MacBook pro on, all the other stuff is loaded (MS word/excel/powerpoint), Spotify, iCal, etc are automatically loaded, so in order for me to go to my desired website, I have to close (x) out all applications loaded. Please advise.

If you are using Lion:
Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

How do I change Syncing settings for Address Book, iCal, etc?

I remember when I setup my operating system, it asked what percent of changes
to Address Book, iCal, etc. I wanted to set between my computers, before I was notified. I think the default was 5%. But I'd like to change that setting. Does anyone know where I can find that?
Thanks,
Paul

Barney-15E,
Thanks that's it.
I always forget to open iSync.
I tried looking in the MobileMe.
Thanks,
Paul

Is it possible to sync a Moto Q9h AT&T phone with Entourage contacts etc.?

I am running a new iMac and have a Motorola Q9H AT&T phone. Is it possible to sync a Moto Q9h AT&T phone with Entourage contacts etc.?

Take a look at www.missingsync.com - they have a windows mobile version.

Is there a keyboard shortcut (or custom) to close notifications that appear from iMessage, ical, etc. on a macbook pro?

Is there a keyboard shortcut (or a custom keyboard shortcut) to close notifications that appear from iMessage, ical, etc. on a macbook pro - the notifications that appear on the top right of the macbook. For example, I do not want to go to my trackpad and click "Close" on the notification. I simply want to trigger a hotkey or keyboard shortcut that will close the notification as I see it.
Thanks so much!

No, but this might be better for you.

To make a screen full screen, you click on the arrows in the upper right corner. To minimize, move your cursor all the way to the upper right corner of your desktop--give it a second--a symbol will appear that lets you "reverse" the action and minimize the window. Hope I'm explaining this correctly.

How do I restore my settings in Address Book, iPhoto, iCal etc?

Hi,
I've just reinstalled Leopard on my MacBook and backed up using Time Machine to my external Lacie HD before I did this.
I want to restore my settings in Address Book, iPhoto, iCal etc. I have tried using Migration Assistant to restore my settings but it stopped saying "1 minute left" and after 24 hours was still saying the same thing.
I open up Address Book, iPhoto, iCal etc. but my original address details, photos etc. aren't there. Am I supposed to use Migration Assistant to restore Applications?
Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance,
Phil

i forgot to mention that you should also try running the "repair permissions" from "disk utility" in the applications/utility directory whenever you copy back directories or files that you didn't directly create but that may have been created by a program. that is because the programs that create the directories/files in the first place sometimes will give the files a different set of permission that what the files will get when you copy them. so after you copy files back from another locations some files may not end up with the correct permissions when copied with the finder.

Entourage/iCal/iPhone calendar sync

Just bought an iPhone but can only seem to get some of my calendar data to sync to it.
I've been using a Palm Tungsten syncing wtih Entourage (Office 2004) through the Palm/Entourage conduit.
Now I've changed all my sync settings so that Entourage goes through sync services, and .mac syncs the address book, calendar and notes, and set my .mac to sync these as well...but only the events actually created in Entourage's calendar get copied, none of the events created in the handheld (though they all exist in Entourage) are syncing. In Entourage these events look no different from the other events, can't sort this one out.
So I googled around and found a script: "Sync Entourage - iCal 2" which fixed absolutely nothing...
Since 99% of my calendar events are created in my handheld, this is a major issue. Anyone seen this before? Anyone solved this before?

It sounds like the entrouage calendar in ical has become corrupted.
First, have you turn on syncing with ical in the entrouage preferences.
If so, turn off the preference to sync with ical.
open isync in your applications folder.
reset sync history from the isync preferences.
delete the entrouage calendar in ical.
then turn on syncing entrouage with ical from the entrouage preferences.
then wait and let entrouage sync with ical and it should recreate the entrouage calendar in ical.
make sure there is an event in entrouage that it can move to ical.
Now try syncing the iphone with ical.
Hope this helps.

Duplicate All-Day events in Entourage, iCal and iPhone

When I sync my iPhone calendars at work, I am getting duplicate all day events (ie, birthdays, anniversary, etc). I'm using the Entourage sync services to create an iCal.
Is anyone having a similar problem or solution?
Thanks!

I have had a similar problem with all-day events in Entourage.
So far, I have had to manually delete the unwanted all-day events, but once deleted, they have not come back.
My theory is this: I already was syncing Entourage and iCal even before the iPhone. When I added the iPhone, it added a Calendar called "Entourage" to the iCal. It synced Entourage, my home iCal, my work iCal, and the iPhone to the iCal "Entourage" Calendar, leading to multiple junk. I added an application to my Mac which automatically keeps track of library books I have checked out, and puts the due dates on my iCal. When I added this, I got a whole new round of double all-day events.
You can delete them either in Entourage or in the iPhone, but I have gotten more reliable results doing it in Entourage.
A keyboard shortcut is to point at the event with your mouse and then type {Apple Key} {backwards delete} d
Hope this helps.

Need help connecting safari, entourage, ichat etc to wireless internet

My macbook is my first apple, I've never used Mac OS X before, and I'm finding all the new terminology intimidating, so I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me, but please talk down to me like I'm 10 years old, or I won't understand. Here is my problem: On the windows side (I use parallels), everything runs the way it should, there is no problem connecting to the internet, my mail comes through Outlook like it should. But I bought a mac for the purpose of becoming acquainted with Mac OS, and this is a disaster! On the mac side, airport is working and is connected to my wireless system. Firefox opens and works like a charm, connecting me to everything I need on the internet. But Safari WILL NOT open, though I swear the proxy settings, etc. are identical to those in Firefox, and neither will iChat, Entourage, or Messenger for Mac. I'm guessing that they all use the settings in System Preferences while Firefox uses its own set, but I see NO DIFFERENCE in the two sets of settings. What am I doing wrong? Please help!!
PS, LOVE the dashboard thing!!

Strange - I use all the same Apps you do and I never gave any specific consideration to how each individual app was connecting. If your airport shows you're 'connected' then the whole system is talking - or at least it should be.
On a side note - give it some time - once you've unlearned some Windows-specific things you will really appreciate OS X. But it's not THAT different...perhaps getting a mouse with a right-click button will make you feel better. I'm not into the single button crtl-click deal...
Regarding Entourage not connecting...have you setup your accounts properly? I don't even have Safari installed so I can't help you there. Same goes for iChat. Make sure you have good account info in there. I don't have any iChat buddies but it still connects me when I log-in using AOL.
Check those account settings...

Duplication of events in Entourage/iCal from syncing iPhone

Okay, I am sick to death of this..... I have all the latest software - Entourage 8, OS 10.5.5, iPhone 2.2.... When I sync, iCal is not smart enough to recognize that events in Entourage are the same events... and Entourage is the same way, so I have ended up with as few as three and as many as 35 of the same event on a given day. I have changed every setting I can find. Also, although I've told iCal to delete tasks & events over 30 days old, it's not doing it.... so the cycle is perpetuated and I end up with MORE of the same event on my calendar.
does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? And why in God's name won't iPhone just sync with Entourage without the middle man of iCal and Address Book?
Thank you!

Okay, here is what I've found.
First thought two disclaimers: 1. I am no tech support person - by any means. 2. I'm not even sure if I can recall how I corrected this since I had to go back and forth in so many settings so many times (spending 80 minutes on the phone with a tech support buddy of mine).
But, here goes:
iPhone has to use iCal to sync with Entourage. It's a work around, it *****, but that's the way it goes.
So open iCal and make sure that there is only one Entourage calendar that has been created (there should be a list of calendars with check boxes on the left side), if there are two or more, delete the extra ones (right click, choose delete). I think that if you look in Entourage preferences and under Sync Preferences ever clicked 'sync to iCal' off and then on again, you may have created a second Entourage calendar in the process. When I was doing this, I accidently deleted the original Entourage calendar that I had and the one left over was actually empty - which may have helped me in this process to start 'fresh' and perhaps stop the constant loop of repopulating events between iCal and Entourage.
Make sure that in Entourage preferences under Sync Preferences 'sync to address book' and 'sync to iCal' are both clicked on.
In iSync Preferences, I had to reset the sync history there and start all over again then hit sync on iTunes.
Leave iCal preferences alone. They should be fine.
If ever told there is a conflict in your syncing the calenders, choose Entourage over iCal for all (if this is an option - at first for me, it wasn't and only iCal and iSync were listed as options until eventually, somehow, one popped up with the options of both iCal and Entourage).
If/when given the option to use Entourage as the primary source, iCal as the primary source, or merge the two, choosing merge should allow you to either update your phone or Entourage and have it populate the other. Choosing 'entourage' will only allow you to update entourage and have your phone sync, but not the other way around.
The worst part of all this? I've found no work around to delete the extra events listed in Entourage. You still have to delete the new ones by hand, one by one, even if the above fix works.
I can unfortunately pretty much guarantee that I've missed several key points, verbatim language, or even a modicum of logical steps in the above, but again I was going back and forth so many times that I can't even begin to tell you how best to solve this in a linear manner. I'm hoping that this provides a little direction, maybe you post a follow-up question (or eight), and then I can provide a few more tidbits to hopefully get you back out of this miserable loop of re-populating events.
Good luck!

Entourage/iCal sync...a reward for whoever helps me fix this!

This is a long one and a tough one but I am serious about the reward!
Up until 3 months ago, I was successfully synching my Entourage with iCal. (using the native feature of Entourage found under the Preferences Pane)
iCal was then synching through .mac to another computer's iCal.
(Using the .Mac synching feature)
In case you are curious, I do this so my assistant can add events to my calendar.
And then mysteriously one day...Entourage stopped synching with iCal. following some of the advice found on this forum, I deleted the Entourage Calendar within iCal (the one that Entourage creates automatically) in order to reset the process.
Since then, when I initiate the Entourage Synch (through Entourage Preferences), Entourage creates the Calendar within iCal and appears to be 'pushing' events to iCal. However, when the synch process is complete, no events appear in that Calendar.
Interestingly, iCal can still synchronize effectively between the other computer's iCal (of course this is useless because it is not sharing infor from Entourage which is my main calendar.)
To date I have tried the following fixes:
- Removed and re-installed iCal
- Removed and re-installed Entourage and the entire MacOffice suite
- Cleared out Synch services (as per one recommendation on this forum
- Completely re-formatted my computer and re-installed EVERYTHING from scratch (that was a pain!)
I have isolated the problem as living between Entourage and iCal on MY computer. One of the ways that I know this to be true is that I am able to manually import my Entourage calendar FROM iCAL (using the import function.)
Because I need to have mey calendar visible by my assistant, I basically delete the data from iCal, re-import Entourage, and re-publish the calendar every day...this is no fun.
Your wisdom and advice will be greatly appreciated

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I cannot answer your specific questions, but mvps.org is a good resource for issues involving Entourage, the Exchange Server, and their integration with OS X applications like iCal, Mail and the Address Book.

Isyncing treo680, entries in palm end up in palmdesktop not in ical, etc

As opposed to the other isyncing problems here, i have no messages saying isync failed. however, entries i make into the palm do not end up in ical or address book but end up in the palm desktop; entries into address book in mac fail to make it into contact list with palm BUT entries into ical end up in my palm calendar. i have disabled the conduits requested by isync. i have updated the palm desktop and hotsync manager programs. is there anything else i should be doing aside from resetting (havent done that yet)thanks

Hello
It's a clean install, and fully updated to latest software update etc.
Right now I have no need for iChat server or Notification server. I suspect we'll never need iChat, but maybe oneday notifications might be helpful (if we get any iPhones I guess).
How do I turn these things off 'properly' - I've done all I think I can using the Server Administrator interface.
Thanks in advance for any / all guidance.
Gavin
