You cannot have three different conduits accessing the same information 
on your Palm device.  In your case, you have Apple iSync, Now 
Up-to-Date/Contact AND Entourage all active.  This will like result in 
problems with your data (at least it has when I've seen clients do 
this).  Since it doesn't sound as if you are using Now UTD/NC, disable 
the Calendar and Contacts Conduits.

If what you're trying to accomplish is to keep your Entourage and iCal 
calendars sync'ed, try creating two profiles:  1.  Apple ON, Entourage 
OFF.  2.  Apple OFF, Entourage ON.  Sync with Profile 1, then with 
Profile 2 and then again with Profile 1.  This should get all three 
calendars/address books in sync.

If you're using Entourage, why are you using Address Book and iCal?  I 
can see trying to keep the two address books in sync but I would use

Sync Entourage-Address Book (Panther):  http://tinyurl.com/45yow

and

Sync Entourage-iCal:  http://tinyurl.com/67egn

and take the burden off of MissingSync which is designed to sync your 
Palm device not applications.

Good luck,

Bruce
