Entourage stopped syncing Calendar with Exchange Server

[sdh]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: Exchange

A couple weeks ago Entourage mysteriously stopped syncing its calendar with my Exchange server. This is evidenced by a lack of any appointments showing up in my Outlook Web Access after a specific date (except for recurring appointments I had scheduled prior to this cessation of syncing happening).

Any ideas?

Minor update to original post: it's not just recurring appointments but all appointments I had scheduled prior to the apparent cessation of syncing still show up going forward in time.

Check the Entourage preferences. You could also turn synching off and
then back on to try and relaunch it,

Hi Corentin- Thanks, I've searched for something like this but can't find any such option / check-box in preferences or anywhere else. I might just be missing it. Can you specifically direct me to where I can turn on and off syncing? Thanks, Sean

Corentin - I believe those "Syncing Services" you point me to are to sync Entourage with the Mac Address Book, the Mac iCal, etc. I don't use any of those Mac apps.

My problem is that my Entourage has stopped syncing my calendar with my Exchange Server. It still syncs emails and contacts, just not calendar. (the final result of this for me is that my blackberry calendar doesn't sync with my Entourage / Exchange calendar).

If you see this in just one or a handful of folders then right-click or
Control-click that folder or Calendar, select Folder Properties and
click the Empty button to empty the cache. You can also select the
account itself and empty the cache for all of your folders.

If you've added events to your Calendar that have not synced to the
server then you will lose these. Be sure you can re-create them.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, Bill. That fixed the problem. Kind of a pain with the events, but to simplify i just dragged / dropped all the events that had not yet synced to the exchange server into my local "On My Computer" calendar, did the "Empty" on the Exchange Server calendar, then copied (drag / drop) all the events back. Everything is synced and working now. Thanks. Sean
