I am having an efficiency issue keeping both Entourage and Address Book synced at the same time I try to keep my desktop and laptop synced. I wonder if some change to my workflow would help.
Here is the situation. Since I got a new desktop machine a week or so ago, each morning I copy my Entourage 2004 identities folder from my desktop to my laptop, and every evening after work I copy it back. This works just fine as far as Entourage is concerned. However, for some time I have also been using Paul's Entourage/Address Book script(s) to keep my Address Book current with my Entourage contacts, and I run this fairly often. What I find happening now is whenever I run the script to sync Address Book, the script syncs ALL my contacts, not just the ones I have recently changed. This sync, of course, takes a long time to complete. I assume this is not a bug in the script, but a consequence of my moving the Identities back and forth. Seems like when I copy the identity from machine to machine, this appears to the sync scripts as an update to every contact. I wonder if there is a good way to avoid this constant lengthy address book re-syncing, while still keeping everybody happily on the same page, data-wise. I don't think this is a complication, but am running 10.4.1 on the desktop and 10.3.9 on the laptop.
