Can anyone help with configuring sync services in entourage 11.2.3?
I can sync my addressbook but not the calendar (with iCal).
The "syncronize now" option in Entourages calendar is greyed out...

Any fix for that?

What "synchronize now" button? Have you enabled the iCal sync in your
Entourage preferences? If yes, then you'll find that Entourage can only sync
to *one* calendar in iCal, that calendar being a newly created one called
"Entourage". The events you create in Entourage will show up in that
particular calendar (just launch iCal and wait for some time, the changes
will then appear); however, if you create events in iCal, they have to be
part of that "Entourage" calendar for the appointments and todos to show up
in Entourage. If that didn't solve your problem, post back and give more
details about what exactly is not working.

I have a calendar on my computer and one in the exchange folder. Am I able
to sync then together or am I stuck with two separate calendars. Also, I
want to the exchange calendar to sync with .Mac. It now only syncs with my
calendar that is in the folders on my computer. I am confused. Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks for the advice about the calendar only syncing with the calendar
"Entourage". That worked for me. BUT then I had everyday of the calendar
with 4 events, the same four events from a holiday calendar that I
apparently downloaded. They disappeared when I deleted them and all
recurrence of the event. It seems good to go. IS IT?

I have absolutely no experience with Exchange, so I can't really help you on
this. Generally speaking, I'd say that it is not possible to sync the
Exchange and the local calendars together. You *might* be able to sync your
Exchange calendar if you set your Exchange account as the default account in
Tools>Account, but you'd better wait till somebody who actually uses
Exchange can give you an answer.

I don't really understand what you mean; if I understand everything
correctly, you had four daily events from a holiday calendar show up? That's
strange. Anyway, if you deleted them, including the recurring events, and
you can no longer see them, then yes, everything should be alright.

That's correct. Tools>Accounts>Mail. If the Exchange Account is the Default
Mail Account, the main Exchange Address Book and Calendar will be the ones
that sync.
