> How to Sync iPhone Address Book and Microsoft Entourage For Mac Step 1. Export everything from Entourage. Step 2. Import Everything into Apple Mail, Address Book, iCal. Step 3. Live happy in the knowledge that it all just works better (and syncs better), and is easier to keep updated across one set of Apps, then the other. :) Step 4. Live happy in the knowledge that Time Machine backups for Apple work sooo much better then Entourage with it's "one file for everything" file system (especially when things fall over).
Honestly,...I can say that Mail, Address Book and iCal all work better the Entourage did. And this is coming from someone that used Entourage since Office 2004 and before that Eudora. It took me a bit to move from Eudora to Entourage and it took me a bit to move from Entourage to Apple Mail. but I wouldn't go back now! (I was running both Entourage 2004 and Mail for the last 6 months getting used to it. Twice the work to look after both, but I could see the little things that needed "adjusted" and things that worked better or how to work them better. Plus I'm pedantic with getting it right the first time :o) All my folders came across, everything stayed intact. I know only have to look after Address Book and iCal (where as before I was doing both Address Book, iCal and Entourage's Address Book because sometimes the syncing "fell over",...and when you have to go out to do a 9 hour job for a client to fix their fallen over Entourage Database problems,..you start to realise how bad a program it really is underneath.) Plus Mail, Address Book and iCal sync so much nicer with iDevices. Sorry,...I couldn't resist :)) Kind regards Daniel --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: <daniel AT macwizardry.com.au> Web: <http://www.macwizardry.com.au> **For everything Macintosh** On 24/10/2011, at 10:05 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: > Hi Michael, > > How to Sync iPhone Address Book and Microsoft Entourage For Mac > > <http://connectedhq.com/blog/2011/05/24/how-to-sync-iphone-address-book-and-microsoft-entourage-for-mac/> > > Cheers, > Ronni > Sent from Ronni's iPad > > On 24/10/2011, at 8:51 PM, "michael.hawkins" > <michael.hawk...@mjhawkins.com.au> wrote: > >> Thanks Ronni, >> >> I think at this stage I'll simply make sure that calendar entries are the >> same on the iPhone and on the computer, and, after a while, have a go at >> mastering contacts on the phone and contacts on the computer.
