PocketSync for Mac Issues with Mac Office 2008!!

Hi there...to any Mac users....my wife has her BB 8100 on her iMac and for the last 4 months I have been using PocketSync 1.0 from BB to sync her calendar and contacts from Entourage 2004 without a hitch. Over the weekend I installed Office 2008 and now PocketSync no longer syncs any data!! Calendar or Contacts - nothing. So, I fully removed PocketSync, rebooted, and then downloaded the most recent version from BB, and still NO good.

It must have to do with Office 2008.....any suggestions? My life is now "miserable" at home because my wife is not "up to date" with her life and the kids schedules on her BB!! Help a poor husband out!

Thanks,
Adam

PocketMac isn't not compatible w/ the new version of Office. PocketMac will have to release and update. There is a work around, you have to sync Office w/ iCal and Address Book and set PocketMac to sync w/ iCal and Address Book instead of Office.

Hope that helps.

IBMman69 - thank for the info. Do you know - can I automate the "sync" between Entourage and iCal and Address book? Meaning, can I set it up so they automatically sync all the time, so when she connects her BB to the iMac and clicks "sync", the data will always be the latest?

Sorry to be a pain, but I'm a PC guy who is being forced to play tech support on my wife's iMac.

Launch Entourage, Preferences, and under General Preferences select, Sync Services, and click the check boxes for iCal and Address Book.
