Mac Forum / Applications / Entourage / August 2006

I'm having trouble getting my Entourage information to sync with Sync
Services.  It was working, but I turned it off (because I accidentally
deleted some of my data - and turned it off, while I was resetting my
information).  But now, when I turn it on - nothing happens.  I have
deleted all of the contacts in Entourage - and when I set up Sync
Services, I am selecting the option to replace all of my information in
Entourage with that in Sync Services.  But nothing happens.

In the Activity Monitor, I can see that Sync Service and Microsoft Sync
are running.  The only thing I can figure is that sometimes the
Microsoft Sync daemon is in red - saying that it is not responding -
but then that clears - and it appears to be running/responding.

I have deleted all of the Entourage preferences, including the sync
services preference file.  I have rebuilt my database (multiple times
to clear everything out).  I have even removed (using the Remove Office
tool) the Office software - and completely reinstalled it from scratch
- applying all of the new updates.  And I have checked to make sure
that the mdimporter file is in the correct place - as has been
suggested in other forums in this group.

I'm not sure what else to do?  Any suggestions would be welcome.  The
only thing I haven't tried is anything having to do with deleting sync
services, and starting over again - because I'm afraid of losing my
information - and I don't want to have to rebuild all of that again.

Thoughts?  I really need help with this at this point.

Thanks!
