Calendar Events and Tasks are deleting on their own

[Robert Marqusee]

I had the same exact issue! So, I began using iCal from Apple just to make
sure I do not miss a meeting.

I did as the person suggested below ­ and it works. I turned off the sync
and calendar events do not delete after I enter them on my calendar.

This is very very strange. I would like to sync so my iPhone gets the data.
I will not be able to sync with my iPhone now with it turned off.

Let me just say: if there is anything Apple could do to resolve sync ­
entourage with iPhone ­ that actually works without creating multiple
entourage folders in iCal ­ etc ­ it would be great. For all the things
Apple does get right ­ I am afraid Apple (and other companies) have not been
able to create a simple workable solution for syncing. It is just a fact.

Here is my computer info (and, no, I do not use Microsoft Exchange Server!):
Snow Leopard, MacBook Pro:

Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo

It would be nice to get this issue resolved.

Thanks!

the Apple Store and they couldn't figure this one out.

My calendar events and Tasks are deleting within one minute of me
creating them. It also deleted all of my events that were previously
entered. There are a few that stayed and did not delete. I cannot find
a pattern to determine which stayed and which got deleted. The thing
that i did notice about events that stayed is that they are all All Day
Events. New All Day Events delete.

This has been going on for a couple weeks now. This is very frustrating
because i love this program and organize my life in it. Please help!!!!

Can you check to see if you've got sync turned on in Entourage. Go to
prefs sync and see if anything in sync is turned on.

Sync in Entourage can do what you're describing if more than one
module is turned on at a time. I've had this happen. It won't stop
until you do a couple of things that I'll describe if it is turned on.

Let me know. Turn it off and this will stop and once I hear from you
I'll let you know how to safely engage sync.
