Synching Entourage with iCal/Apple Address Book

[Scott Melendez]

Does anyone know of a utility that can sync Entourage¹s Address Book and
Calendar with iCal and Apple¹s Address Book?

The problem I am having is Entourage is my data ³master², and it syncs
beautifully with my Palm T3. However, I also have a Sony Ericsson T616,
which syncs with iCal and Address Book via iSync. I¹d lam going to try
Salling Software¹s MobileSync, but I¹d like to know if I can just keep my
current configuration and keep iCal/Addres Book in sync with Entourage.

Thanks

Config:
PowerBookG4 17
Mac OS X 10.3.1
Office v.X 10.1.5

If your phone is compatible, the best method is to use MobileSync. If
MobileSync won't work with your phone, you can give iSync a try.

There is no way of keeping iCal and Entourage in sync. You can import
Entourage calendar data into iCal (but make sure you¹ve updated iCal first).
Launch iCal, and then go to File -> Import. Choose "Import Entourage Data",
and then click the "Import" button.

Synchronize contacts with your phone by synchronizing the Entourage Address
Book with the System Address Book using Paul Berkowitz's ³Sync
Entourage-Address Book² script.

Thanks Mickey.

I forgot to mention that the reason I wanted to use iCal/Address Book was to
take advantage of my .Mac membership to keep things syced between both my
Macs.

Can you re-import Entourage data into iCal once you¹ve done it once?

Sure, you can import data into iCal again, but you might end up with
duplicate entries. I know little about iCal so I'm not sure what the best
workaround for that would be.
