Re: Best methods to synch Entourage Apple's address book
One more thing. Entourage already has its preferences set to synch with Address Book. And AAB remains empty, except for the 4 contacts that I have added to Entourage in the past couple of days - those synched.

Re: Best methods to synch Entourage Apple's address book
I was pulling my hair out with synchronizing issues with my iPhone for several weeks. Sync services kept overwriting certain information in my Apple Address Book contacts such as users AIM account information. I am not sure that I totally understand how it is syncing but it seems like the key to solving the problem was choosing the Merge sync option in Entourage. This option appears in Entourage after you make a change to your sync settings in the Entourage preferences. I initially thought that the sync services was asking me how I wanted it to handle the initial sync, but it seems like what you choose in the Entorage preferences how it syncs every time sync services runs. I could be wrong on this but all I can tell you is that I have not had any more problems with data disappearing or being overwritten since I chose the Merge sync option. A couple of weeks ago I finally started using my .Mac account to sync wirelessly via mobile me. I was hesitant to do this at first because I had read about problems that some users were having with this and I was concerned about really screwing up all my contacts and calendar information. Mobile Me has worked great for me and I highly recommend it. I really like having newly arriving calendar events pushed to my phone without having to do a physical sync. It also is great to be able to make changes or add new contacts to my phone and have them automatically show up on my computer. That's my two cents.

Previous to that, as I recall, AAB was staying synched to Entourage, and when I would go to Mobil Me all my contacts would be there. Entourage is fine, no problem. I don't use Apple's address book much. I use Entourage for 95% of my email and project stuff. Years ago, I would use Paul's script, or manually drag vcards.

Re: Best methods to synch Entourage Apple's address book
Turning OFF Entourage's synch preferences, then turning them back on again did the trick. The dialogue box came up asking for behavior, and I clicked to have Entourage overwrite AAB.

I advise syncing from Entourage only when needed. I would turn off all other syncing from Apple Address Book while the Entourage -Address Book sync is taking place. Sync your data then turn Sync Services off in Entourage preferences.Then let Apple's applications sync. Apple and Microsoft are working to improve Sync Services which were in an unstable condition, but now with MobileMe, the situation has gotten worse. -- Diane -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/ old-archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/
