The data models in Entourage and iCal are sufficiently different to cause certain types of sync operations to fail, or produce incorrect results. I have not looked at this in a while, but I think that some of the problems occurred with repeating, or multi-day events, or both. I tried valiantly to create a scheme for syncing my Entourage and iPhone calendars, using iCal as the intermediary. There were work-arounds for some of the incompatibilities, but they seemed inconvenient/awkward to me. Eventually, I gave up. Sorry if I can't recall more details. I'm hoping that the next major release (Outlook, Outback, Outhouse, or whatever it will be called) will provide a direct pipe for syncing to the Calendar app on iPhone, or perhaps to a new calendar app. -- Julian Vrieslander <[email protected]> -- YouTalk mailing list List address: [email protected] List information: http://entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected], [email protected] To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
