PocketMac and Entourage 2008

I am using a Pearl 8130 from Verizon, Entourage 2008 and the latest version on PocketMac on a MacBook w Tiger. In order to sync and keep all of my information accurate on my BB these are the steps that I need to take
1. Sync (two-way sync)
2. Typically edit any information on my Mac
3. Purge Calendar, Contacts, Task and Notes (DataPurgeUI)
4. Run SyncClean
5. Sync (two-way sync)
6. After step 1 is done (typically when I need to process everything) I just have to complete steps 3-5
When I do not follow these steps --> syncing hangs or PM crashes
Is there any simpler way to make this work. I need to use Entourage to keep my categories for GTD (iCal does not cut it and The MissingSync does not really play well with Entourage), but this is almost insane as it should not take this many steps to sync. Any suggestions advice would be great .

Address Book and Entourage 2008 - Problem with sync services in Entourage

Hi, all. Have had sync services working (I think) for some time but had duplicate contacts in Entourage from the syncing between in and Address Book. Turned off sync services in Entourage 2008, deleted all contacts in Entourage, then turned the services back on telling Entourage to delete Entourage info (instead of the other way around or merging).
Now I can't get any syncing to take place. And when I select the lone contact for me (that you have to have) and choose View, Synchronize Now is greyed out and can't be selected.
Any thoughts why syncing isn't working?
-John
P.S. I tried to change the setting to combine instead of delete Entourage info and that had the same (non) effect.

I had a similar issue. I was able to sync my iPhone back to my Mac and that restored the addresses although all the categorization was lost. I have no idea why this happened to you.

Is it possible to sync calendar/contacts with Treo 755 (sprint) and Entourage 2008 on Mac OS 10.5.4?

I've read different solutions (that haven't worked as of yet) as well as it's impossible. Any one else trying to do this? and/or should i just switch to iPhone and iCal?
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Verizon)

This begs the question of why you are using entourage at all. For starters, there are precisely 69 viruses that can affect mac osx (as opposed to more than 71,000 for windows), and guess what? All of them infect the computer through Microsoft office!

Can not sync my Blackberry 8830 with MacBook using Pocket Mac for BlackBerryto Entourage 2008

I recently purchased a Verizon plan with my new BlackBerry 8830 Curve. I also downloaded pocketmac for blackberry with the Verizon technical support person. He spent almost 2 hours with me yesterday. We still can not sync my Blackberry contacts and calendar events to my mackbook on Entourage 2008.
This is the message I get:
[02:20:57.110] Could not lcoate the Microsoft Entourage Office Synchronization Tool.
[02:21:01.076] Could not lcoate the Microsoft Entourage Office Synchronization Tool.
PS, they even typed in locate incorrectly.
Can some help? I am stressed out that I only have one location where my contacts are located- the BB
Thanks
Henry

Guess what ? Pocketmac for Blackberry just released a new version this afternoon. 4.125.
I downloaded the new version and it now has a sync for Entourage 2008 and it works BB to Entourage 2008 and Entourage 2008 to BB.
Thanks to them for finally fixing this major flaw

Entourage 2008 & iCal sync inaccurate free / busy status for events

On a campus using Exchange 2007, I am using Entourage 2008 and sync to iCal 3.0.2 (Leopard) via Sync Services in Entourage's preferences. Both Exchange 2007 and Entourage 2008 have only been installed in the last two months.
I have found that events which I mark as "free" in Entourage 2008 are changed to "busy" after a sync with iCal. The free / busy status is correct when the sync with Exchange takes place, but the status is incorrectly changed to busy every time the iCal sync takes place.
I need to put campus events, co-worker planned absences, and similar things on my calendar, but these items need to remain as "free" so that I can be scheduled during those times. This all worked correctly with Entourage 2004 and the older version of Exchange.
Does anyone know how to correct this behavior so that the free / busy status is not changed with a sync to iCal?

Sue,
Wish I could offer some good advice, but the easy syncing of iCal and Entourage 2008 so far has been impossible if not a nightmare.
When you go to import in Entourage and iCal is NOT listed as "another application", we are in HUGE trouble.
A real shame that in today's world of "New Media" and PDA's like iPhones and Blackberry that the two billionaires from Apple and MS did not provide us with easy and simple export/import/sync tools.
Maybe they should rename Office 2008 to Office 1984

ICal & Entourage 2008 sync

I know that this isn't a Microsoft support forum but I'm hoping that an Entourage user out there may have some insight.
I have Office 2008 on my MacBook Pro. Under Preferences/Sync Services, I have the box checked to sync my Entourage calendar with iCal. But it doesn't work like a sync, it works like an over-write - meaning that the Entourage calendar is over-writing events in iCal, not syncing them. For example, if I add an event to iCal, it shows up perfectly there. But no matter what I do in Entourage, it does not show up in that calendar. But then if I add an event in the Entourage calendar and re-sync, that Entourage event shows up in iCal but the event I had added to just iCal (the one previous that didn't make it to Entourage) disappears in iCal.
Has anyone had any success?

Entourage 2008 and iSync

Hey everyone, I was using the new Entourage 2008 and loved it, until I realized it was going to take A LOT of work to get it to sync with my Palm Centro. I ended up switching back to Entourage 2004 which is really starting to tick me off. Here's what I would like to be able to do, and you all may be able to tell me if this is indeed feasible or not.
1. I would like to be able to sync my Centro (contacts, calendar, to-dos, notes, etc.) with Entourage, consequently I would like to be able to go both ways. So say I create an event in Entourage and then change the time of the event on the Centro, I would like that to be reflected on both the computer and Centro.
2. I would like to be able to sync my contacts and calendar on MobileMe (I'm not sure how that system works, but for now I would just like to be able to view my calendar online).
3. Eventually I'd like to sync the whole deal with like Google Calendars and stuff.
Entourage 2004 was SO easy to sync my Centro. I tried to sync with 2008 and it just made a bunch of duplicates and caused me a headache. After realizing that Microsoft wasn't going to be able to help me, I switched back to 2004. What a bummer, because the new 2008 is AWESOME!
Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. I've been looking online and on forums for weeks now and haven't really found a solid answer.

Wow, really? Why would Apple do that?
Because iSync's Palm support was severely out of date, didn't work very well, and, I guess it wouldn't be worth Apple's time and money to devote development resources to it further.
What exactly does the Missing Sync program do for me?
It'll basically sync everything between your Mac and Palm - contacts, calendars, notes, tasks, memos, install Palm OS applications and conduits, sync music, photos and videos. Far more than iSync ever did.

Is there a better PDA to use with Mac OS X then?
iPhone is the best since Apple makes everything from the phone to the OS. It just works.
Are any of those going to work better than the Palm OS?
I don't know whether any of them will work better, but they all need third-party software from MarkSpace to sync with a Mac. None sync out-of-the-box.

I'm using Entourage 2008 v 12.3.5 and lost ability to SEND. Tried many small email tests. Server continues to leave time out message. "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic.

I'm using Entourage 2008 v 12.3.5 and lost ability to SEND. Tried many small email tests. Server continues to leave time out message. "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic." Comcast tells me server is not down all other network activity is fine. WHat's up with this?

Starting earlier today, this also became my problem - can receive but not send in Entourage. The account settings are correct in Entourage - I even created a new account. My Mac running 10.7.5 won't read the original Office : MAC 2008 disk, so I can't do a fix or reinstall from the disk.
This is not an issue if I log onto the Comcast site.
And so, I started using Mail but, unlike Entourage, Mail won't import my Entourage info.
Argh... :-(

Entourage 2008 and Mavericks OS

Hi,
Since I installed Mavericks I have had problems with Entourage 2008, which I have as part of Office for Mac 2008.
1st, when Entourage starts up, it starts in a "Compose new email" status, with the address block and a blank email. There is nothing in Preferences to prevent this and it did not happen before.
Most annoying however is that I use Entourage to POP mail from Yahoo Mail Plus. It constantly fails on it's own. It produces an 17895 Error message; "Connection to server failed or was dropped."
Again, this did not happen prior to install. Searches of Yahoo's mail help site has not provided any help.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom

Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages

Changed email from pop to imap in entourage 2008 and apple mail and have lost a lot of messages. I am a rookie and don't know what to do to correct the situation

I found this great set of mail AppleScripts:
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
It includes one script to delete duplicate messages. So if we can't find a way to do this right, then I'll just download all the duplicates then delete them. Of course I don't want to actually do that, lets call this the nuclear option.
So can anyone think of a way to make an IMAP account for my gmail without it downloading all the messages again that I have already downloaded?

HT1277 Entourage 2008. All email acounts and emails had gone.

I'm using Entourage 2008. version 12.0.0(071130). last night we setup email accounts. I had 4 email accounts. we setup one of 4 accounts that is exchange account. we only changed mail exchange server. this morning when we opened computer, all email acounts and emails had gone. how to get them back? Please help!

Russ,
Could be that the Property List file has gotten corrupted. Try the following:
Close Mail
Move the file com.apple.Mail.plist from folder <home>/Library/Preferences to the Desktop
Re-start Mail
Mail will behave as if it is a new installation so create your primary account.
Create any other accounts you have in the normal manner via Mail Preferences.
Your Messages are stored in the folder <home>/Library/Mail/Mailboxes and whatever structure you had in terms of folders and subfolders under the Mail window sidebar heading of "ON MY MAC" should be there.
If Mail has not already found those messages as a result of you re-creating all your email accounts then you can import them using the following method:
Close Mail
Drag the folder <home>/Library/Mail/Mailboxes to the desktop
Launch Mail
Click File then Import Mailboxes
Click Mail for Mac OS X
Click Continue
Select the folder you moved to the desktop
Click Choose
Click Continue

First Time install of Desktop Mac and Entourage Tasks are not deleting

Right, this is the fist time I haev installed Blackberry Desktop for Mac and I have a Bold 9700.
I run Entourage 2008 12.2.6
From previous experiences way back when it was first launched, I learned the hard way so I am treading carefully again. Also, I have just ditched Pocketmac too!
Anyway, I have entourage tasks. If I delete a task from the blackberry its fine, it just dissapears from the mac BUT if I elete from the Mac, its still on the blackberry. what am I doing wrong?
any ideas?

Did I do something wrong? I havn't received a single reply from this forum?

Can anyone tell me, should the bold sync with a Mac, Entourage 2008?

I'm having load of problems with pocketmac, their support is not the best at getting back to you fast and I am really losing a lot of time on this now.
just wondering, should I be syncing no probs with the following:
Macbook Pro?
Entourage 2008?
Blackberry Bold?
thanks

I just found out the hard way (after well over an hour on the phone--the first day after my new Bold arrived) that Blackberry's software development is aware of a known synch issue between later 2008 Macbook Pro's and the new Bold. Apparently, when apple updated their fiber optic (?) connections in their usb's, it caused an 'issue' which creates the errors between Entourage & the device. My Macbook Pro is not the brand new one--it's the revision that came out in August. I'm sure the issue is the same for the latest version of the MacBook Pro too. It also keeps itunes from synching. No known fix yet. Missing Synch software will not fix it either. I was told 'check back in a couple weeks' which means my new Bold is not looking so bold at the moment. If you have an OLDER mac and/or OLDER Blackberry, you should be ok. I know that from a programmer's perspective, 'newer' is harder to account for, but good grief. I hate spending a premium for latest gear and having it 'unknown' in terms of when it will actually be supported properly. And it's not like they exactly rushed the 9000 to market.
