I have set up Entourage to Sync between the Entourage calendar and my .Mac
account. However, every time there is a conflict, instead of apply a rule I
get prompted. How can I set it up to where the last event is the one that is
synced?
I'm not sure I perfectly understand what the problem is, but I can give
you some information about the way it works:
- Entourage and the System sync using a framework called SyncServices.
For the calendar, all Entourage events from the selected calendar will
sync to a calendar called Entourage in iCal. Shortly after you make a
modification in either repository, it syncs across to the other one (on
my Mac, it does it within seconds usually, a couple of minutes at most).
The Sync Conflict dialog indicates that the same event is different
between the two and SyncServices doesn't know why. It therefore asks you
to decide which version to keep.
Until all conflicts are resolved, syncing halts.
Sometimes, the SyncService database gets corrupted and some events
pop-up in the Sync Conflicts again and again. Getting rid of these is a
nightmare (usually, you are better of deleting both the entourage and
iCal version of the event and re-creating it from scratch in Entourage).
