Syncing Entourage calendars between computers

L

Lynn Basa

I have two Mac OS X computers (10.4.11). I've managed to learn how to sync
mail and contacts. Is it or is it not possible to sync Entourage calendars?
I've read the Andy Ruff article as well as everything else I could find.
I'm coming to the realization that I can only using iCal as a calendar
function if I want to sync.

I need the complexity of Entourage's client management system and project
tracking that iCal doesn't have.

If it is in fact impossible to sync Entourage calendars, could someone
please tell me what my other options are? Do I need to get a hand-held
device and do the fire wire thing every evening or what?

Thanks to anyone for the future time and trouble they can save me on this.

Click to expand...

It is (depending on your setup).
If you have an Exhchange account, the calendar can sync through the
Exchange server from one comcomputer to the other.

If you have a .Mac account, you can set Entourage to sync through
SyncServices (in the preferences). This will sync the calendar to a
calendar called Entourage in iCal. You can do the same thing on the
other Mac and let the data sync between computers through .Mac.
Finally, if you have a Palm, you could sync to the Palm, then back from
the Palm on the other Mac.

One caveat: in either case, you lose categories (they dont sync).
You can use scripts to workaround that:

Corentin,
Thank you very much for that clear answer. I got a hint that something like
that might be possible from other things I'd read but nothing that I
understood as well as what you said.
Best,
Lynn
