Any calendar events I add disappear. I have updated to 12.1.4 and the
issue still exists.

Can you please provide more details? What steps do you follow to create
a new event and save it?

Do you have any Exchange accounts configured?

Hi,

I have a similar problem documented here: <http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=592068>

Basically entourage made calendars and tasks have stopped showing up in iCal/Organized widget. They are syncing with sync services, because I can sync between entourage and my phone using iSync. Nothing shows up in iCal though. I made some events in the entourage calendar in iCal as well, and they did not sync back.

Perhaps it's an iCal problem, but this has only started recently (mid october) and i don't remember any iCal updates.

If you have an answer or comment for the original poster then please
respond within that thread. Otherwise, if you're looking for a solution
to your own problem -- no matter how similar to someone else's -- then
begin your own thread. Similar problems may not have the same solutions.

The thread you're referencing has had so many people jump in with
different problems that it's really difficult to follow.

Sync Services between Entourage 2008 and Mac OS X 10.5 has had problems
from the beginning. While Entourage updates have improved syncing, the
whole experience is still not without problems. Possibly Apple needs to
fix some problems on their side.

Refer to this blog post for some ideas:

"Sync Services still causing problems for some users after SP1"
<http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/2008...causing_problems_for_some_users_after_sp.html>

If this doesn't answer your question then begin a new thread with
details of your own problem, include your software versions and what
you've tried already to fix the problem.

Hope this helps!

Basically entourage made calendars and tasks have stopped showing up in
iCal/Organized widget.

Is it possible this widget needs updating? What happens if you take it out
of the mix?

They are syncing with sync services, because I can sync
between entourage and my phone using iSync. Nothing shows up in iCal though. I
made some events in the entourage calendar in iCal as well, and they did not
sync back.

See these steps to reset Sync Services in Entourage and this Apple KB
Resetting the Sync Services folder.

If you set your Exchange account as the default account in Tools>Account,
the main Exchange Address Book and Calendar will be the ones that sync.
