Using outlook and entourage to back up??

I've read through a lot of documentation for the sync for Mac program and it seems to require entourage to sync the calendar and outlook to sync the address book?  Btw, the last one makes no sense.
Is there anyway around this.  Anyway to just sync normally to my computer?  And by normally I mean without requiring me to have (PURCHASE) several other programs I do not use or want to use.
I'm about to get a new phone and I'm leaning toward a blackberry for several reasons, but if I can't back it up without spending money on programs I don't want on my computer, to back things up in what seems to be the most complicated process available, then, well, I'll just go to a different platform.
Can someone who has a blackberry and a mac and is syncing using this new software help me out with this?  How complex is the backup process?  How many programs does it involve?  How much can I really get off my phone?  And in how many different areas (programs) is it saved?

Hey gdton,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
I personally use BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac, the backup process is very simple.  It will backup every database on the BlackBerry onto your Mac.  You can synchronize the following with Entourage, your calendar, contacts, memos and tasks.
When you do receive your BlackBerry, or if you have any more questions let me know.

        Dear Tylerkeefe,
    Good morning. Getting notifications that you are close to exceeding your allowance can certainly be alarming. It would be my pleasure to help put your mind at ease.
    I understand you are not streaming movies, music, etc. Which these features will use a lot of data. Are you using the Mobile Hotspot on your phone. This may also cause you to exceed your data allowance quickly if you do not power if off after you are done using the feature. To turn off mobile hostpot tap settings>general>personal hotspot>off. Do you have any third party applications that you have installed that may be running a lot of data?
    To ensure applications are not consistently running in the background do the following press the menu button at the bottom of your phone twice. All the open apps will then appear. Select and hold the bottom of the screen. A minus sign will then appear in the top left of each app. Select each minus sign to close out the application.
    I hope the information given will help clarify what is using a lot of data on your phone. Should you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.
    Thank You,

  • My screen jumps using outlook and evernote

    This is so irritating.
    When I use Outlook/Hotmail web based.  When I am going through my email, the screen jumps back to the top.  It doesn't do this on any other websites that I am aware of.
    Now, when I use Evernote the App, not through a browser, the screen will jump to the top of a note every time I hit enter.   That is irritating when I have a note that takes up more space than a single screen can handle.
    I don't know if these two issues are related or not, but I suspect that they are.  This never happened when I used Snow Leopard.
    Does anyone know what might be going on and how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    Safari on iOS 5 uses tabbed browsing, the thumbnail/pages browsing that was used on previous iOS versions isn't available in iOS 5. If you'd like to have the option of which version to use then you could try leaving feedback : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Problems when using outlook and outlook express, cannot send more than app 100 KB.

    Since app 6 weeks ago we have problems when sending pictures etc, we cannot send more than app 100KB. If we send more there is error code
      Socket Error 10053, Error number 0x800CCC0F. Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection.
    I have made no changes to either computer. Restoring the laptop to Nov 2011 made no difference.We use Outlook Exlorer and Outlook.
    When I take my laptop to my neighbors house, who has Time Warner, I can send 10MB files without any problems, using the EXACT same settings.
    Spending over 2 hours with a very informed Verizon technician on the phone did nothing.
    I first blamed our server, turns out the culprit is Verizon. 
    Any ideas?

  • Is it possible to sync with Outlook and Entourage with one iPhone?

    Hi,
    I wonder if anyone knows whether it is possible to Sync my contacts and calenders from my Home Mac (using Entourage 2008) and the Windows PC at my office (with Outlook 2007) to the same iPhone without data from one source getting lost?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hey keiichi-san,
    Yes, It is possible. You can merge contacts, calendars, and bookmarks between multiple computers.
    When you sync the contacts and calendars to your iPhone from the new computer you'll see the option to Merge or Replace, just choose Merge.
    These articles provide more information on syncing options:

  • Upon installing Thunderbird on my new computer (after using Outlook and hating it) I am missing at least one folder. How do find that folder?

    I have a new computer. My IT support asked me to give Outlook email another chance. I did for a week and decided it's not to my liking. So I installed Thunderbird.
    I did a search to find an email, and the search came back - 0 found. I knew this was wrong.
    I then went to find the folder the email would have been stored in and found that folder is missing from my fold list.
    I do see the folder on my old computer which is still alive, but it's not showing up on my new computer. These are not local folders but are listed in the University's email server.

    Sounds like you have an imap mail account.
    If you cannot see a folder which is on the server, then you need to subscribe to see it.
    So first question is 'Have you subscribed to see it?'
    If it is a subfolder, you will need to subscribe to see it as well as the higher tier folder it is in.

  • Need to remove icloud sync as use Outlook and have Android Phone

    Just purchased iPad Air and whilst setting up iTues etc., it asked if I wanted to sync my calendar and contacts with what I had on my computer.  I pressed yes which created an iCloud Calendar which consumed all my diarised events however, when I come to try to sync my HTC1 with calendar and contacts it can't read the outlook calendar anymore as the data is all contained seemingly as icloud default calendar.  Need to revert back to how it was previously as need to be able to see my calendar on my phone as don't carry ipad with me at all times.
    Please advise if/how this can be done

    Restore from your most recent backup before the changes were made.

  • Duplicate entries using outlook and iCloud

    How to restore original calendar in outlook after getting duplicate entries using iCloud between an iPhone and a PC

    Good point.  Actually, even the wireless sync can cause the problem.  "Sync iCal Calendars" in the "Info" tab should be UNCHECKED.

  • Full screen isn't full screen,unless I use "maximize" and later goes back

    I used to be able to press full screen and it would be fine and when I closed ff, upon restarting it would restart in full screen. Something has gliched. When I press full screen in regular size, the full screen isn't full, only about 90-95% of screen. I can make it go full screen if I click
    "maximize " and then full screen , but if at any time the screen isn't maximized, the same thing happens. If I close maximized and full screen
    it opens with the reduced full screen. I can't move or stretch it out in anything except normal screen, and again, not I click full screen from there. I never had this problem.

    You provided no information about installed extensions. <br />Do you have any extensions installed?
    Does Firefox do that while running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • Just downloaded an album, will let me play some songs, but others are asking for me to authorize my computer. When I enter Use ID and password, comes back and says computer is already authorized. Why will it let me play some songs and not others?

    Has anyone downloaded an album from iTunes Store, once downloaded, will let you play some songs, but others is asking you to authorize your computer. When I go through those steps, it tells me that the computer is already authorized, but still will not let me play certain songs??

    If just some of the tracks on the album are giving you that message, that suggests that those tracks are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • HT201320 I use my college's email address through outlook and I don't know what you use for the incoming and outgoing host?

    My email is though the college where I work.  We use Outlook, and I am trying to set up my email but I am not sure what to use for my incoming and outgoing host information.

    Ask your college. Most likely the same settings as you have set in Outlook.
