Sync problem with Entourage 2004, iCal, AddressBook and Palm

I've just recently started have sync problems after a problem free run for several years.

In the last week or so my Palm LifeDrive stopped syncing with Entourage. When I explored the problem further, I realised that there was now no longer a functioning link between iCal, AddressBook and Entourage.

I've managed to get the Palm to sync with Entourage again and the Palm calendar part is working well - all my Entourage appointments are there. Unfortunately, the Palm Address Book is only syncing with the addresses that I have entered in Entourage since the problem started. The 1000s of existing addresses are just not syncing.

In addition the link between Entourage, iCal and Mac AddressBook is completely non-functional so I can't use my iSync function anymore either. As far as I can tell, I've got all the right preferences checked for Entourage etc - in fact I hadn't touched any of these when the problem cropped up in the first place.

All suggestions gratefully received - I feel like I've lost a limb when my gadgets don't function properly

Hi GadgetGirl,

In addition the link between Entourage, iCal and Mac AddressBook is
completely non-functional so I can't use my iSync function anymore
either. As far as I can tell, I've got all the right preferences checked
for Entourage etc - in fact I hadn't touched any of these when the
problem cropped up in the first place.

There is somthing fishy fir SyncServices on your Mac. You shoudl try
turning them off then back on in the Entourage preferences.

Thanks for the response Corentin. I've just tried that and it hasn't worked. The Palm sync still has an incomplete set of addresses, and there is nothing at all in iCal and AddressBook.

Any other suggestions?

Cheers
