Entourage doesn't sync with iCal. Address Book is okay.

Hi.

I've enabled Sync Services in my Entourage. Address Book become
visible just as-is, with no hassle. Somehow, I didn't see any events
from my iCal. The additional calendar Entourage was created in iCal,
and changes made to it are getting sync back with Entourage. However,
I don't see any items from my main calendar from iCal. Can you please
advise me something? I've a recent MacBook Pro with all updated
software.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

what you're seeing is exactly the way Sync Services is supposed to behave.
Entourage will only sync to the Entourage calendar in iCal, which implies
that any item outside that Entourage calendar will not get synched back to
Entourage. If you want an iCal event to show up in Entourage, you will need
to assign it to the Entourage calendar. It's very inconvenient, I know, as
it prevents you from fully using iCal alongside Entourage, but there's not
much you can do about it. You could leave a few suggestions by clicking on
Help>Send Feedback on Entourage.

Entourage only syncs *one* calendar and matches it one-to-one to a calendar
in iCal (called Entourage). In order to see events created in iCal in
Entourage, you'll have to assign these iCal events to the "Entourage"
calendar that shows up in iCal itself.
