ICAL Entourage events dissapear & won't synch--Snow Leopard problem?

[Jgjensen]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: pop

My Entourage calendar events do not show in the ICAL. If I import the back-up they appear as a new Entourage calendar event for a short period. Then the "new" Entourage calendar & events disappear.

I've tried different solutions from many different forums. I think the problem started after I Installed Snow Leopard last week. Can't be sure of that.

I've had issues like that forever.
Sync Services are really problematic.
You can try turning them off then back on,

Yes, sync services is very problematic. You may want to try to reset
isync and also reset the syncservices folder using Apple's support
document TS1627.

I've found also new issues have arisen in Snow Leopard. As an example,
if I delete the Entourage calendar in iCal and then tell ENTourage to
over write iCal it actually operates oddly and deletes all items in
ENtourage's calenddar. I've found combine gets around this.

Kerry,
Tried what you suggested and didn't work. When I look at the messages in "Console" it appears that records are not matching. I tried to just Edit & Delete the Entourage calendar in Ical. When I synch it won't even place an Entourage calendar in ICAL. If I combine or use Entourage.

There must be a way to start Ical "clean" and transfer(synch) the Entourage calendar events.

Here are some of the error messages

SOLVED!!!!!!!
I backed-up Entourage calendar and selected delete the Entourage calendar events. Note that I just backed up the Calendar and gave it a unique file name. There were no events in ICAL calendar so I restored the Entourage calendar. I then set the synch preferences in Entourage to combine Ical & Entourage. It finally works.
