"Recovered Calendar" After Entourage Failure

[Peter]

I use Entourage 2008 for my Mac and Outlook 2007 for my work-provided PC.
Last week Outlook deleted all my calendar events due to a PC database
corruption. Outlook then created a new calendar (with nothing in it) called
"Calendar". The tech support folks were able to recover the original calendar
but now I have two calendars -- "Calendar" and "Recovered Calendar". I can
see both calendars from the Mac and PC (the iPhone only sees "Calendar")

The "Recovered Calendar" is very large with 20+ events per week, going back
to 2004. I need to keep these events for business purposes.

I can start putting new events in "Calendar" but I would rather merge
"Calendar" and "Recovered Calendar" so I have a single integrated file.

There is a contextual menu for "move event" or "copy event" but that seems
to be only good for single events, not for mass merges. I reckon I have 2000+
calendar events to merge, too many to reasonably do one-at-a-time.

Is there a way to merge these two calendars? Alternatively, to make
"Recovered Calendar" the primary syncing calendar? I can change the name of
recovered calendar but not to "Calendar".

Thanks in advance // Peter

While in the Calendar view, you can select the All Events custom view in
the left sidebar.

This will display all events from all calendars. You can click on the
"Folder" column on the right to sort all of your events by each calendar.

Select all events from one calendar on the right and drag them to the
other calendar on the left to copy them. You should probably drag your
"Recovered Calendar" events to your "Calendar".

Hope this helps!
