sync google calendar with entourage for mac

My Entourage on Exchange wont stop syncing with my google calendar.

This may work well if you only have one Google calendar to sync with, but that wasnt my case.

Youd think that since Entourage syncs with iCal, that it wouldnt be that hard.

Then, once a week or so, select all events in my Sunbird calendar, delete them and import the ics file I export from iCal.

Still a bit manual, but you can do multiple calendar events at the same time.

The downside here is that Entourage creates items in the ics file that Google and Sunbird dont understand which cause the import to fail.

Google Calendar gives me a error and line number though so I just search for the issue in the ics file and manually fix it.

However, Entourage 2004 had a bug that could cause database corruption when used in this configuration.

If you decide to try this, please back up your data first, and let us know how it goes.

However, I want to be sure before I do so I think Ill hold out a bit longer.

Watch the Spanning Sync Blog (blog.spanningsync.com) for updates.

The Sync services gets corrupted and then nothing will sync after that.

For now I have given up and gave up using entourage calendar in favor of google calendar and ical for now.

The whole reason I use entourage calendar is that I lease an exchange server slot with a service company, keep my data there, and then it gets pushedsyncd with my windows mobile device automatically, wirelessly, and in real time.

I sync between Ical and Entourage (normal function) et between Ical et GAgenda.

It do fine.

I too thought this process would be easy but it is proving difficult.

I only have one Google Calendar so it may work for me, Im just curious how you did that.

In Entourage Preferences select the Sync Services option then enable Synchronise events and tasks with iCal.

Use the pull down menu to select which calendar you want entourage to sync with in iCal.

That it. From there it should now just work.

AFAIK the calendar facility in Entourage is flat, i.e does not have folders.

Entourage just creates a calendar called Entourage in i cal, which in turn makes funny faces at the Google one but of course doesnt synchronize with it.

In SpanningSync select which google calendar you want to sync with the Entourage calendar that Entourage created in iCal.

Google apps is an outcome for businesses who used to work with Exchange.

At our company we are using the combination of iphones and macbooks with Apple Mail, iCal and Adress Book.
