I¹ve posted this question before, but there¹s never been a response. I¹m hoping someone will have some insight into how to address this problem, or to whom I can report it to get some help.
I¹m using: Entourage 11.2.5 On a MacBook Pro 17² Core Duo (although the problem occurred on my 17² PowerBook which this replaced) With OS X 10.4.8. I¹m trying to keep my iCal in synch with my Entourage calendar for two purposes: 1. To allow myself access to my calendar from other computers using .Mac sharing, and 2. To allow my family access to my calendar via ³publish² I only enter and delete calendar events on Entourage. I also synch Entourage with my Treo 700p using Missing Sync version 5.1.2 and the Microsoft conduits. >From time to time, I find that certain calendar events are duplicated in both Entourage and iCal. I¹ve isolated the following characteristics of the problem: 1. It happens only with, and with all, events created as ³all-day events² in Entourage. 2. I categorize all events in Entourage, so the duplicated events show up as ³uncategorized². 3. When I view the Calendar in Entourage in list view, uncategorized events only, all the duplicated events show a time of 12:00am 4. I¹ve turned off sharing iCal via .Mac to try to isolate the problem, to be sure that it¹s not corrupt data on another Mac. This was after manually deleting all iCal information on all Macs, and restarting Sync Services with a full ³Entourage overwrites Sync Services² process. I¹m now convinced that the problem happens via Sync Services within a single computer. 5. I¹m fairly convinced that the Treo Sync is unrelated, although I can¹t be absolutely sure. 6. When this happened most recently, iCal was running when the system crashed (wouldn¹t wake from sleep). I also had a force-quit of Entourage (Database Daemon hang in Activity Monitor) while iCal was running. Upon restart, opening iCal led to the duplication of untimed events only. Is this a known problem? Is there someone who can help me with suggestions for prevention? Thanks, Barry
