I've just upgraded from Office X to 2004 and decided to take the plunge and abandon Now Up-to-Date (NUD) and Now Contact (NCT) and try to run my life out of Entourage (E). I'm using a MDD dual 867 G4 running OS 10.4.9. (This is a little long but it details everything I've done so far, which should cut down on traffic.)
I have previously imported data into E X using File Menu>Import>Import information from a program>Now-Up-to-Date. This worked as advertised, but I decided to press on with the Now apps and deleted the imported data from E X. Now I'm trying to import my contacts dairy into E 2004, and it won't work. I've circumvented the problem with my contacts by syncing my NCT contacts file with the Mac Address Book and enabling sync services in E 2004, but I'm still stuck with the diary because NUD doesn't export to iCal. Here's what happens (I'll describe NUD but it's exactly the same with NCT): I choose File Menu>Import>Import information from a program>Now Up-to-Date, and E reports 'Looking for applications', but then reports "The import from Now Up-to-Date couldn't be completed because a necessary file Now Up-to-Date was not found". This happens regardless of whether I have NUD running or not. I went back and tried to import into E X (which I've previously done), and the import failed in exactly the same manner. Here's what I've done: Restarted; Uninstalled Office X (except that I left the preferences); Installed Office 11.3.4 update; Deleted the two MS daemons from Login Items and allowed E 2004 to reinstall them; Logged in under my 'Test' account which has no additional software installed; Repaired permissions; Run Disk Warrior 4. None of this has made a skerrick of difference. At every attempt I get: "The import from Now Up-to-Date couldn't be completed because a necessary file Now Up-to-Date was not found". Does anybody have any ideas?
