entourage and isync

[Annabel Bolt]

Is it possible to get isync to sync my palm and entourage? I have
managed to get palm desktop and isync working, but not entourage. I
had limited success using entourage conduit for palm, it brought in
about a 3rd of my info, but abandoned this is preference to isync so I
can access my data through ical. Any ideas or pointers?

Hi Annabel,

Is it possible to get isync to sync my palm and entourage? I have
managed to get palm desktop and isync working, but not entourage. I

iSync is just a Palm conduit like any other. The trick is that iSync
synchs data that the Entourage conduit also tries to synch so in order
to avoid a conflict, the Entourage conduit gets deactivated by the
iSynch installer.

You can still go to the "/Library/Application support/Palm HotSync"
folder to reactivate the Entourage conduit and then go back to iSynch
and the HotSync Manager to make sure these two conduits don't ever try
to synch the same data
(eg synch the address book through iSynch and not Entourage and the
calendar through Entourage and not iSync).

You have to be pretty careful with your settings!!!
