Re: How does Entourage import & use iCal calendars?

Diane,

Thanks for replying. So, which of the following (all showing up in
"home/library/calendars") is the one that Entourage is accessing:

SLC.ics
Professional.ics
Home.ics
Family-Home.ics
Liturgical Year.ics
UCB.ics
Personal.ics
Other.ics
C at C.ics
Athletics.ics

They all are "Microsoft Entourage Documents"; all are updated at the same
time. The only one that I DIDN'T try to import (as well as the largest file
now) is "Other.ics". (Note: They were all separate calendars in iCal.)

When Entourage imports a bunch of iCal calendars, does it assign them all to
"Other"?

Thanks,

Gary

I have a question, though. In iCal, there are numerous "calendars" that are
saved separately, but can be displayed together. When I imported those into
Entourage, all of the calendars are displayed together (and that's fine).
But when I look in the "home/library/calendars" folder, ALL of the
individual iCal calendars appear, and they all seem to be updated together,
even if I don't have iCal open. And they all display the "Entourage" icon.

Which of these many calendars is the one that Entourage is accessing? I'm
assuming it's the one named "Other", since I didn't have one of those on
iCal. Can I delete all the other iCal-related calnedars in this folder?

Entourage supports multiple calendars and multiple categories. iCal only
supports multiple calendars and has no equivalent for categories at this
point. Entourage only syncs *one* calendar and matches it one-to-one to a
calendar in iCal (called Entourage). In order to see events created in iCal
in Entourage, you'll have to assign these iCal events to the "Entourage"
calendar that shows up in iCal itself.
