Synching Sony Clie with Entourage

S

Sandeep Junnarkar

Hello,

I have OSX, Palm 5 OS on the Clie, and the Missing Synch software...the
first time I synched all the data went to the correct places in entourage.
Now I find that additions to entourage show up on my clie, but additions to
clie don¹t show up in entourage...

The entourage handheld conduit is there and active

Any suggestions?

Help greatly appreciate.

Are you sure the conduits are setup properly in the Missing sync (for
the missing sync 4) or in the Palm app (for previous versions of the
Missing sync) ??? One of the options for the conduit does just that:
sync from the Entourage database and ignore new entries in the Clié.

Surelys

I also had the conduit settings not appearing when I double-clicked.

In the end, I did two things to resolve it:

* Two versions of the Entourage Database Daemon were listed in my
Login Items (the v.X and 2004). I deleted them both from Login Items
and re-added just the version from the Office 2004 install (found in
the Office sub-folder). (Sloppy install from the CD, Microsoft).

* I deleted the old Office v.X installation (not the MUD identities in
Documents, just the applications). However, I should mention that it
was at this point I discovered the old Database Daemon was still
running as it prevented deletion of the folder. So I imagine if I had
just done the daemon thing I mentioned above, this would probably have
resolved the conduit problems without deleting the old Office apps.

If anyone tries these solutions and finds it is necessary to delete
the old apps as well, can you post an update here so everyone else
knows.

(Note I also uninstalled the conduit and its settings file (found in
your Palm identities folder), but again this may be unnecessary if you
are suffering from the dual-daemon problem).

Hope this helps,
surelys

You don't have to add anything from the CD. As soon as you open your current
(2004) version of Entourage again, the correct Database Daemon will
re-appear.

All you had to do was remove the two Database Daemons from Login Items
(Accounts/Startup Items in Panther), LOG OUT, Log In again, and open
Entourage.

There was nothing messy about the install. The reason why you still had the
X Daemon around was that you had neither removed Office X using the Remove
Office Utility, nor had you logged out or rebooted even once since last
using an Office X application (any one). You might even have have
accidentally started up an X app sometime recently, and not logged out since
then.

Hardly anyone except developers need more than one version of Office hanging
around. Most people will use Remove Office to trash old versions. You're
welcome to keep it Office v. X around if you have some reason for doing so,
but you must understand that there will be some interactions if you open
differing versions of the same apps.

Corentin,

Thanks for your help.

I don't see that option (about ignoring clie) in the missing synch...

Here is a log of my latest synch. It says it synched but I don't see the
entries in entourage.
