Blackberry 9700 (Task List) sync issues with Mac

Hi All,

I am having some problems with syncing between my:
- Blackberry Bold 9700
- Mac (iCal)
- Entourage
using Blackberry Desktop Manager.

I have successfully got the following going:
1. Entourage <-> (iCal, Address book) {Contacts, Calendar, Task List}
2. iCal <-> Blackberry (via BB Desktop Manager) {Calendar}
3. Address Book <-> Blackberry (via BB Desktop Manager) {Contacts, although there are a few quirks}

So the missing component is Task List. It did work previously for a day. What happened was that due to problems between Entourage <-> (iCal + Address Book + MobileMe account) i lost all my Tasks and calendars. But because I had already put the info onto the BB device, i was able to recover it from there (the BB desktop manager had an auto backup). Then i restored the info to the BB device, and from there the mac programs. Having solved the other issues I though all was well.

However, today, it fails to sync tasks (all other sync works). The BB device ends up with an empty task list and a "Sync Error" dialog every time I try to do the sync.
I suspect the device has stored some record somewhere that the tasks have already been synced due to the previous restore but I don't know enough about it. Some blogger suggested (similar problem) removing and replacing the "Task" app on the BB but I don't want to make matters worse.

Any help appreciated.

Regards

Hi - thanks for the response. I think you are dead right - the issue seemed to have been on the Blackberry itself. Considering that, I did not actually go through this whole process, but having done a full power cycle on the blackberry, the problem resolved itself... Thanks.
