Can mail indicate when a meeting invite conflicts with a pre-existing meeting?

I'd like to configure mail to indicate whether a meeting invite conflicts with something already on my calendar.  I'm trying to avoid jumping back and forth between mail and calendar when managing emailed meeting invites.

That's what my thoughts at first, but nothing changes in Outlook. I still use the same Outlook and so is my other clients. It's very rare that suddenly my company's Outlook program and about 20 of my clients' Outlook changes at the same time that causes the creation of the .ifb file instead of normal .ics or universal calendar invite.
Just for the heck of it, I re-installed Office in my 3 other laptops and sent test meeting invite and they all comes back as .ifb attachments.
I tried to open the .ifb files by double-clicking the file in Snow Leopard and point it to iCal and it didn't add the calendar invite.

  • How can i control when my animation starts/stops with external JS

    I am making a web app that will allow you to go through "pages" by clicking and dragging or sliding your finger (touch devices).
    I am wanting to make a seperate animation on Edge for each page and play it when the current page is on witht the relevant edge comp.
    So far my code allows me to know what page is being viewed and that the animation should be played, however I can not figure out how to play the comp.
    ie.
    WHEN page = 1, play composition "page1".
         If currentPage is not currentPage, stop composition "page 1".
    Please could you help me as I've been racking my brain all day to figure this out.

  • Mail Crashing when adding exchange 2007 account with SL

    I tried adding my work exchange to my mail which I currently have gmail and mobileme configured. I enter my info and credentials, accept the certificate (unsigned), and mail crashes immediately.
    I tried moving out the plist and /Library/Mail folded to start from scratch, but I get the same result.
    This did work with my exchange account on another machine (my Mac Pro) with the last beta. I have not had a chance to upgrade it yet. Anyone else have similar problems? Any other ideas to try?

    I was able to figure out a work around. In order to get out of the automatic discovery of my mail server information, I started over at the new account wizard and put in a bogus email domain. Since the wizard did not recognize it, it prompted me to enter the server type and the rest of the settings. Once I entered them manually I was able to add the account. Hopefully there will be a forthcoming permanent fix somewhere down the road.

  • Can I pick up GTA V at midnight with online pre-order?

    So I preordered online for in store pickup and I received an email today saying that my order is ready for pickup.
    I was wondering if I could go to the midnight release and pick up the game or do I have to wait until the following the morning?

    Hello SecretAznMan,
    Tonight is a big night for gamers and I know plenty of people are excited!
    Since you've already received your email confirmation you can absolutely show up at the midnight opening as long as your store is holding one and pick up your pre-ordered copy. There should be one waiting for you at customer service with your name on it.
    Thanks for connecting with us on the forum!

  • Can I use the Airport Extreme Base Station with my already existing D-Link router to increase signal strength?

    I already own a wireless router that I would like to keep. Could I use this Airport Extreme Base Station to improve that signal strangth to my room from the living room or to the basement? Would I have to hard-wire both the Base Station and my existing router? You probably have read this question more than once, and I have read some questions of this product too, but for some reason these Apple products I have some trouble with.

    Yes

  • Tracker conflicts with libtracker

    Hi!
    A few days ago I did a system update and pacman says that tracker conflicts with libtracker and so dependencies could not be solved. I can't remove libtracker, it depends on nautilus, so I removed tracker and a "pacman -Syu" works again. But I can not reinstall tracker because of the conflict with libtracker.
    So is this a bug? I don't know what exactly to do now because I am kind of new to the Arch Community.
    Any help on this would be appreciated.
    thx in advance

    I have exactly the same problem here.
    Edit: Just found this, and the mentioned solution
    pacman -Rd libtracker
    pacman -S tracker
    worked for me.
    didn't work for me either however
    sudo pacman -Rd tracker
    sudo pacman -Syu
    worked fine
    the version of tracker for me was tracker-0.6.91-4 (not sure which version I upgraded from)
    I'm on x86_64 FWIW; I don't think your WM/DE is going to make a difference
    Edit: actually the conflict between tracker and libtracker still exists if I
    sudo pacman -S tracker
    just doesn't come up if I
    sudo pacman -Syu
    so I guess the question may still be there

  • Can bootcamp use a pre-existing windows 2nd drive?

    On Leopard using 2008 mac pro with leopard on a single hard drive, can I place a 2nd hard drive with a pre existing windows vista partition (from a windows computer) on it and get it to be accessible in bootcamp? If so can it be NTFS or does it have to be Fat32.
    Also, regardless of the above, can the bootcamp windows installation drive have more tha one partition that windows uses? for instance I would have 1 drive for Leopard with a single partition; one drive for windows with multiple partitions (one for windows as c:; one for windows programs, and one for windows games all accesible to the windows booting environment)
    And lastly, can fusion be made to work with this new "bootcamp" window installation once it is already functional in bootcamp?
    Thanks.

    You will have to reformat the drive as follows:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disk. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.

  • Siri - Invite Contact with Multiple E-Mail Address to Meeting = No Invitation

    Hi
    Wondering if anyone else notices this weird behaviour of Siri when trying to invite a person to a meeting. I know Siri is in Beta but maybe this could help to improve its functionality.
    Scenario
    - Schedule a Meeting using Siri and inviting a person to that meeting (i.e send out invitation to that person)
    - Person Contact in Addressbook has more than 1 e-mail address (like business and private)
    Outcome
    When trying to schedule a meeting and inviting a contact to that meeting, Siri will ask you what e-mail address shall be used. However, when the meeting has been added to your calendar, the invitee/attendee does not appear in the calendar entry and therefore never receives a notification.
    How it should work
    When doing the exact same thing with a contact that has only 1 e-mail address in their contact details, Siri correctly adds the person as an invitee and sends out the invitation to that e-mail address.
    This is very annoying as I'm guessing lots of people have contacts in their addressbook with their business and private e-mail address.
    Can anyone confirm this behaviour or is it just me? Any help is highly appreciated!
    Addtional info / Stuff I noticed
    - I'm synching my Addressbook through Exchange. Unfortunately, although in my e-mail programm offers different form fields for various e-mail addresses (business, private, home, assistant etc) they all show up as "e-mail" on the iPhone. Therefore Siri could not even distinguish which address to chose without tapping on it with the finger.
    - Siri seems to be much more unreliable when trying to schedule a meeting with a person having more than 1 e-mail address. In contrast to having just 1 e-mail address in the contact, Siri almost always responds by saying "uh-oh there was a problem.. could you try again".

    Please state your problem and we'll try to help you.

  • Why can't I sync my facebook invitations to my iCal?  My Mac Mail won't detect the date/time on the email anymore.

    I have been trying to sync my facebook invitations to my iCal and no longer able to do this through my Mac Mail.  When I would receive a facebook invitaiton through my comcast email, I used to be able to hover my mouse over the date/time of the invitation and then I could easily "Add to iCal" or "See Date in iCal", but am no longer able to do so.  I can still add other invitations, just not the facebook invitations.  Any ideas?

    You can get your photos off your phone.  If they are all in Camera Roll just import them to your new computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).  If some of them were synced to your iphone from your computer (i.e., in photo library) just use an app like PhotoSync and send them to your new computer wirelessly.  For that matter, you can sync your phone with your new computer without losing your data and settings if you carefully follow this guide: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.  Your only issue will be non-purchased music on your phone which is not in your new iTunes library, which will require 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer from your phone to iTunes (or you will have to rip you CDs again to import them).

  • How can I get mail to automatically update calendar invites without actually opening calendar and disrupting my work?

    I like mail to continue placing new invitations into my calendar so that I can accept (or reject) them when convenient.  However I would like to be able to work in an application without being disrupted whenever someone sends me lots of invitations.  Is there a way to prevent mail from opening calendar and making it the main screen?
    Thanks.

    Most likely the library blocks the ports needed for sending and receiving mail. Check with them.
    ''some Thunderbird setting that prevents Thunderbird from working, maybe because it considers this a vulnerable network.''
    There is no such Thunderbird setting.

  • My wife and I each have an Ipad and only one mail account. Both of us receive the same e-mails but when one of us deleates an e-mail it also deleates on the other Ipad. How can I stop this? I might delete an e-mail she wants to read. Thanks

    My wife and I each have an Ipad and use only one mail account. Both Ipads therefore get the same mail and when either one of us deleates an email it also deleates on the other Ipad and this can be a problem if one of us doesn't want that e-mail deleted. Obviously our Ipads are synced and I don't know how to correct this. Any advice ?

    If you both have the same email account, there's no setting on iPad you can use.  When a message is deleted, it's deleted from the mail account server, which will happen on both devices.

    Hi,
    According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

    Delete and recreate your email settings.
    Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.
