Re: Syncing entourage calendar with iCal and Nokia phone for 2007



I have checked my login items and it is listed there. I also did a
Force Quit where I brought up the window which shows all programs
running so that you can quit them, and it was listed there as running.
I can't find any preferences in iSync to specify what you want to sync
other than everything in the address book or iCal. I can't see any
categories listed anywhere that you can choose to sync some and not
others. In iSync there is an icon for my phone which I clicked on and
it gave the option of syncing "All" which it is set on, or selecting
various Entourage categories. All categories had been ticked in the
past but were greyed out because "All" had been selected.

I will be away from my computer for the next couple of days so unable
to read this usergroup until Wednsday night.

I just remembered something which maybe related. During the week I
downloaded and installed the latest Office Update. Yesterday was the
first time I had synced anything since I had done this (I hope my
contacts are all OK as I haven't checked them!). Normally it takes
less than a minute to sync my phone calendar and contacts but yesterday
it took a great deal of time and I actually left the computer to do
something else while the syncing process continued. I wonder if there
was a problem with the latest update which has caused this?

To my knowledge I have never turned this off and get reminders popping
up several times per day (two just then while typing this). I searched
through the Entourage help to see how to turn it on or off and found it
was already on, as I suspected. The menu item under "Entourage" shows
"turn off Office Notifications", meaning that it is currently switched
on. I don't know how long this problem has been active as it was only
this morning that I wanted to check something on my phone calendar
during January (which I had only synced yesterday) and found everything
in 2007 entirely blank. When I got home I checked iCal (my phone syncs
from iCal which syncs from Entourage) and iCal is blank for 2007 as
well.

I have just synced my iPod using iTunes and some things in 2007 have
appeared while others haven't. I reopened iCal and now there are some
events present in 2007 while others are missing. It seems that only
some categories of events have synced while others haven't.

I have been syncing my Nokia phone and iCal for several months now and
all has been well. This morning I discovered that nothing beyond the
end of this week has been synced. ie nothing has been synced in 2007. I
have searched preferences (my phone, iCal, Entourage, iSync)
everywhere and I cannot find any option to limit syncing until the end
of 2006. Any ideas?

Is the Entourage Database Daemon (Office Notifications) turned on? Spotlight
will index any cache files the Entourage daemon has created even if the
daemon is not launched, but no new cache files will be created until the
daemon is launched again. If the Microsoft Sync daemon never launches,
there's no way for Entourage to sync data with Sync Services. The
preferences in Entourage for Sync Services basically control 1) if this
daemon app is launched and 2) where it should sync data to-from.

The Microsoft Daemon would be in your preferences your account login
items. See that it is starting.
Check you isync to make sure its got all to sync.
