I'm working on the assumption that MS doesn't plan to do anything. That
their solution is to use sync services. Period. Partly based on their not
saying anything except to tell callers to use sync services and partly
because there doesn't seem to have been an attempt to put a conduit in the
2008 build.

10.5.1....everytime I try to synch, it tells me there are 6509
conflicts...and they are almost all the same...Holidays...Battle of the
Boyne// Israeli holidays, etc...stuff that I never use. Then when I spend an
hour resolving conflicts...they turn up the next time. What to do? Also
since I got Leopard, my Pocket Mac won't work with my Blackberry, and
Missing Synch is very erratic and hangs up too.
I'm disappointed with this aspect of Leopard.

I've finally just turned off syncing my calendar. I don't really need it on
my Palm. It's the contact info I really need to have on the pda.

That's a very different issue. Your SyncService database (the one the
System manages) is most probably corrupted and it might be time to
decide to reset it (tedious, dagerous - since you delete some data - but
probably the only way around),

Well, that woudl be fine with me *providing* that SyncSerivce support
wasn't broken (and being to be able to do everything I'd need to like
syncing categories and contact pictures would be a plus :-> )

I'm trying to sync my contact and calendar information between two Windows machines (one desktop, one laptop) and one desktop Mac and use Entourage 2008 on my Mac to access it all.
I'm using Plaxo to sync my Windows Outlook with my Mac and it works very well BUT it only syncs with Mac's Address Book and iCal. So, I thought I'd use Entourage's sync service to get the information into Entourage.
When you set up sync services within Entourage, it creates an Entourage folder in iCal. Plaxo also automatically sets up a calendar in iCal named "Calendar". (pretty original, eh?) The problem is, within iCal, the Entourage calendar doesn't sync with my (Outlook) Calendar. Because the two calendars don't sync, the sync to Entourage doesn't pick up the changes from Plaxo. If I try doing what was recommended (right clicking on events and making them an Entourage event) then I get duplicates in my Plaxo calendar, which during the next sync, results in duplicates in iCal.
Maybe I'm going about this all wrong. Any suggestions?

SyncServices broke, now I lost my calenders and tasks!!!!
I figured out that by changing the category on my iCal calenders to Entourage I could sync both ways - so I did this with all my future events (for about a month in advance).
This morning I'm happily working away at my Mac when I get an error message saying the SyncServices is quitting due to some problem or another. Then BINGO all my calenders and tasks disappear!
How can such a thing happen? What's next, contacts and emails? Does anyone know of a way to avoid using syncservices or should I just give MS the flick altogether? I paid $300 for the upgrade - boy do I feel ripped off!

For anyone trying to do this, I figured it out. It ended up being a synchronization manager setting in Plaxo. Basically, the only calendar I have on iCal is Entourage. On each Windows machine, I set the Plaxo setting to sync the Entourage folder on Plaxo with my (Outlook) Calendar.
Viola! Hope this info helps someone!

ENtourage will sync to an ENtourage calendar in iCal. DOn;t expect to

Tasks will not sync either.

First, I've spent the last 8 hours trying to get sync to work with calendars. It has all the bugs noted above, where things start to like right, then fail. I've tried all the things noted here, though by trial and error, not because I came here first. I wish I had. I would have not purchased the upgrade. I too feel taken. More important, I feel very strongly that for a support person to just blurt out "blame the other guy," it only proves it was a mistake to purchase the upgrade. The support won't be there. Only continued frustrations on the user side.
Playing with this for the last 8 hours also showed me that there are a ton of other features missing/taken away from the older product.
Very sad indeed.

Unfortunately after many $$$ and a lot of time, I too have come un-stuck with
what seems to be a very simple problem without a solution.
I totally agree with what has been said above - if there is a solution to the
following I would really like to know.
Leopard 10.5.1
Microsoft Mac 2008: Entourage,
Entourage "MY DAY"
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003
Mark Space Missing Sync, for
Microsoft Windows Mobile v6.0.
MS Mac Entourage 2008; Address Book, Calender, Tasks, CATEGORIES, COLOURS,
and the New MY DAY look fantastic in the new MS Mac Entourage 2008 when
operational, but they are all absolutely useless if they cannot sync as you
see them with your MS Windows Mobile 6.

I have been having the same problems as everyone above with 5000 conflicts. I have 5 copies of every event in Entourage and 3 copies of every event in my Palm. I also have something where every event is set up one day in advance. For example: Independence Day is listed on July 4th and July 3rd.
Has anyone tried to get out of Entourage 2008 and reload 2004?

By the way, I have told all of my Mac using friends not to buy this product. I haven't had the opportunity to use all of the other programs in depth, but if Entourage is an example of the work, then this is going to be a long term problem
