Unclear docu
You imply that Entourage syncs to a calendar within iCal, not to everything in iCal. Is that true? Does it keep your personal calendars out of Entourage?
Alarming redundancy
When I set this up I had my iPod, Treo, iCal, and Entourage, and Outlook on a PC all beeping at once.
It creates an "Entourage" calendar in iCal
It creates an iCal calendar called "Entourage". Anything in that calendar is synced, anything not in that calendar is not synced.
Syncing is NOT immediate!
I have just done some testing on the immediacy of the syncing between iCal and Entourage. I found that if I modified, deleted, or created an iCal event immediately before quitting iCal, the change would not show up on Entourage until I restarted iCal. I ran some more tests with iCal events and discovered that iCal seems to check in with SyncServices every 15 seconds. As far as I can tell, the 15-second interval starts when iCal starts. The bottom line is that if you quit iCal before it registers your modification with SyncServices, then Entourage will not get the change (nor should any other SyncServices-dependent item). To be safe, wait 15 seconds after a change before quitting. (You would think that iCal would run one last sync when quitting!)
It creates an "Entourage" calendar in iCal
Actually I just noticed this morning.. if I create an item in iCal (Entourage Calendar of course) and add an alarm, the alarm DOES NOT sync over to Entourage! This is MAJOR for me, as my exchange account syncs with my blackberry. |
