Re: ENTOURAGE STOPPED SYNCING & DOING SIMPLE FINDS - PLEASE HELP

Wow, you're pretty serious about your rules, aren't you? I posted the
second message in all caps because nobody responded to my first one. That
has always been my experience with this group, nobody tries to help if they
don't already know the answer. But if I post again in all caps I can
usually get an MS MVP to lend me a hand.

BTW, I said I was a Mac power user, not a newsgroup hound. Not everyone
knows the extraordinary range of rules extant for these newsgroups.

Anyway, today I told Entourage to sync my events to iCal, which it did.
Because it worked, I thought maybe that sync kicked something loose in Sync
Services, so I tried to sync my Entourage contacts to Address Book and
voila! So, I no longer have that problem.

Thanks anyway for your help!

Hi Subnorry,

1) I cannot get the Entourage Sync
Services to work (I want it to replace my Address Book contacts, but it just
won't run), and I'd also like to keep Entourage synced to iCal; and 2)
whenever I search for contacts or emails using terms I KNOW should work, it
returns no results.

Please understand that I am a power user and I know what I'm doing,

So you should know that all-caps titles are usually frowned upon... :->
(and I just saw that this is a repost... and that you posted a test in
the group instead of using a test group :-> tsss, tsss, tsss.... ;-) ).

and I've
been using the various versions of Mac Office since they were first created.
Furthermore, I have been using just about every variation of Sync Services
for years.

I don;t remember seeing somethign like that before but there might be a
few things you could test:
- completely rebuild the spotlight index. It's a pain, but it could be
well worth it.
sudo mdutil -E /

- Use Synchrospector from the Developper tools to check on the status of
your sync, eventually force a slow sync or reset sync services
altogether.
