Hi
I 've got my iphone and MobileMe working fine EXCEPT:
In the last few weeks, when I sync I get duplicate Calendar items in
Entourage. ( the phone calendar and ical are ok)
Has anyone else experienced this?
Please do you know of a solution?
Entourage is my preferred Calendar and Email application.
I have had to turn off Entourage syncing.
This means any items I enter in my Entourage calendar do not end up on
Mobileme and my phone.
At this point I am considering using iCal instead, but I prefer
Entourage
for it's choices of alarms and reminders and Event Categories etc.
Thanks

Hi Rod,
Entourage has sync service issue problems, which has not been fixed.
A lot of discussion about it and one 'Workaround' found here:

Workaround:
I've written about this numerous times a long with others. Sync
services in Entourage is quite buggy/flaky. If you have more than one
module turned on for sync'g you'll encounter many weird behaviours .
Just sync your most active module. In my case, I have only calendar
turned on.
Before doing any of the following make sure you back up the Entourage
main identity, iCal, and Addressbook before
doing any of the above.
To correctly set everything right, turn off all modules in Ent. Go to
iCal and delete the iCal calendar. Go to Ent, Preferences, sync
services and turn on Calendar,
choose combine, then OK. It will build a perfect new iCal calendar
and you should notice everything sync'g right. Just leave your one most
used module turned on. To update the other less used modules the
following is what I do to ensure sync services with Entourage doesn't
get messed up.
This is the time consuming stuff. You want to update your addressbook
and/or Notes by sync'g
them. Go to Ent, turn off calendar then OK, delete the iCal Ent
calendar, go to Ent
and turn on Addressbook only, choose combine then OK and your
addressbook
will be in sync. If you also want to update Notes you can do this at
this point by turning off Addressbook, OK, open sync services, turn on
Notes, OK, choose combine. Back to Ent, turn off Addressbook or Notes
(whichever is enabled), OK, then open sync services and turn on
Calendar, combine, OK and it will just create a new iCal Calendar.
Finally, if you're using a handheld after doing any of the above all
three Missing Sync modules Events/Tasks, Notes and Contacts should be
set to overwrite on first sync to ensure they are in perfect harmony.
If you just sync you might get sync services errors which can be messy
to sort out."
