Sharing and updating a single calendar
At work I am trying to find an effecient way for my assistant to add events to my calendar. Right now what I am running into is that only one of us can add/delete/modify calendars... Is there anyway we can both work on the same calendar?
THANKS!!!!
Take a look at MySync

I have not tried it because I have Panther and do not have Tiger.
Good Luck !

Hi, I have got three ipad minis which I would like to use in a business environment whereby the users can see and update a single calender. Is this possible? Would they have to be run form one account?

[10g] Best way to populate and update multiple workday calendars?
I would like to create multiple workday calendars, and be able to update them as needed. Each workday calendar would be for at most 5 years (right now), although it is possible that at some point in the future, I might want to extend that.
A workday calendar can apply to a single resource or a group of resources. Each individual is part of a resource group. What I'm thinking is that if an individual resource has an associated workday calendar, that calendar gets used, but if it doesn't, it uses the calendar of it's resource group, and if the group doesn't have one, the default calendar gets used. Theoretically, each resource could have its own workday calendar, and there would be probably 500 resources at most. In practice, many resources will have the same or similar workday calendars.
Each calendar will be based on one of 3 standards: all calendars days are work days, all days but weekends are workdays, or all days except weekends and holidays are workdays. (Weeks start on Sunday, and Saturday and Sunday are weekends.) The standard calendar would then be modified to create each unique calendar as needed. For example, if a resource was an employee, their calendar might be the standard of not working weekends or holidays, but could also include a one week vacation in February and a one week vacation July. I'm not sure what the best approach is for defining a calendar in the first place and then being able to update it as an employee decides on vacations (or whatever other situation might affect workdays).
Furthermore, I'd really like to be able to incorporate work hours, which could vary by day, though would likely be fairly standard. I don't know if this information belongs in the workday table, or as something separate to be combined with the workday table.
My ultimate purpose in doing all of this is to try to schedule a very large project amongst many resources.
Here is some sample data illustrating where I'm at so far:

Also, I don't know if it would make more sense to just somehow store the days each resource/group doesn't work, and generate a workday calendar on the fly as needed, rather than trying to store possibly thousands of dates in the database??Hi,
Interesting problem!
I'm not sure exactly what you want, however. Are you looking for a way to answer questions such as "For resource A001, what are the first 6 work days on or after January 4, 2010?" or "How many work days does resource A001 have between January 4 and January 12, 2010?" Post a few examples of the questions you might ask, and the results you would want, given the sample data you posted.

A workday calendar can apply to a single resource or a group of resources. Each individual is part of a resource group. Is a "resouce group" the same as a "work group"?
if a resource moves from one resource group to another, do you need to keep track of the historical information? For example, if resource A001 does not havfe its own calendar, and is part of work_group A on Juanuary 1, 2010, but then moves to work_group B on July 1, 2010, will you need to answer questions like "How many work days did A001 have in 2010", where you have to remember that the work_group A calendar apllied during the first half of the year, but the work_group B calendar was in use for the second half?
What I'm thinking is that if an individual resource has an associated workday calendar, that calendar gets used, but if it doesn't, it uses the calendar of it's resource group, and if the group doesn't have one, the default calendar gets used. Theoretically, each resource could have its own workday calendar, and there would be probably 500 resources at most. In practice, many resources will have the same or similar workday calendars.

I'm not sure what the best approach is for defining a calendar in the first place and then being able to update it as an employee decides on vacations (or whatever other situation might affect workdays).It seems like the simplest thing would be to record only the exceptions to the base calendar. That is, given that the employee normally abides by the "no weekends or holidays" schedule, just enter 5 rows for that particular employee to mark the 5 work days he'll miss in February. If the emplyoee is going to work Saturdays in June (in addition to his regular schedule), then enter one row for each Saturday in June.

It looks like all the rows have the same description. if description matters in this problem, wouldn't it be better to illustrate how it matters, by having different descrioptions that appeared in different outputs? On the other hand, if description doesn't play any role in this problem, then why include in the sample data at all?
I'm not sure if I should have a separate table to define a relationship between a resource or resource group and a calendar id (each resource or group would only be able to be assigned 1 unique calendar id, though multiple resources/groups could share the same calendar id), or if I should add an extra column to each of the above tables to assign the calendar id.
CREATE TABLE calendars
( cal_id NUMBER(4) NOT NULL
, cal_title VARCHAR2(25)
, cal_desc VARCHAR2(200)
, CONSTRAINT calendars_pk PRIMARY KEY (cal_id)
INSERT INTO calendars
VALUES (1,'Default','This is the default calendar to use for workdays');
INSERT INTO calendars
VALUES (2,'All Days','This calendar treats all days as workdays');
INSERT INTO calendars
VALUES (3,'Weekends Off','This calendar gives weekends off, but no holidays');
INSERT INTO calendars
VALUES (4,'Holidays Off','This calendar gives weekends and holidays off');
What is is cal_id=1? How will it differ from the other three?
CREATE TABLE workdays
( cal_id NUMBER(4) NOT NULL
, cal_date DATE NOT NULL
, cal_year NUMBER(4)
, work_day NUMBER(3)
, work_date DATE
, work_week NUMBER(2)
, work_year NUMBER(4)
, work_days NUMBER(5)
, cal_days NUMBER(6)
, CONSTRAINT workdays_pk PRIMARY KEY (cal_id, cal_date)
, CONSTRAINT cal_id_fk FOREIGN KEY (cal_id)
REFERENCES calendars (cal_id)
);I suspect there's a simpler way, especially if there's a regular order to day types (e.g., people who get holidays off normally get weekeneds, too).
Perhaps you could have a table like this, that had one row per day:
CREATE TABLE days
( a_date DATE PRIMARY KEY
, day_type NUMBER (1) -- 1=Weekend, 2=Holiday, 3=Other
INSERT INTO days (a_date, day_type) VALUES (DATE '2010-01-01', 2) /* New Years Day */;
INSERT INTO days (a_date, day_type) VALUES (DATE '2010-01-02', 1) /* Saturday */;
INSERT INTO days (a_date, day_type) VALUES (DATE '2010-01-03', 1) /* Sunday */;
INSERT INTO days (a_date, day_type) VALUES (DATE '2010-01-04', 3) /* Monday - back to work */;
...Another table (I'll call it work_sched) shows what resources work when:
CREATE TABLE work_sched
( p_key NUMEBR PRIMARY KEY -- Arbitrary Unique ID
, group_id VARCHAR2 (5) -- Exactly one of the columns group_id or ...
, resource_id VARCHAR2 (20) -- ... resource_id will always be NULL
, a_date DATE
, works_on NUMBER (1) -- works when days.day_type >= this value
, remarks VARCHAR2 (40)
);To indicate that work_group 'L' normally works on type 3 days only (that is, weekends or holidays):
INSERT INTO work_sched (group_id, a_date, works_on) VALUES ('L', NULL, 3);(Let's assume that p_key is populated by a trigger.)
The NULL in the a_date column indicates that this applies to all days, unless overridden by another row in the work_sched table. Instead of NULL, mabe some impossible date (such as Jan. 1, 1900) would be more convenient to indicate defaults.
Exceptions to this schedule would be indicated by other rows in work_sched. For example, if '12345' is the employee who's on vacation for a week in February:
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-02-08', 4, 'Vacation');
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-02-09', 4, 'Vacation');
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-02-10', 4, 'Vacation');
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-02-11', 4, 'Vacation');
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-02-12', 4, 'Vacation');And if that same employee works Satudays in June:
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-06-05', 1, 'Fiscal year-end crunch');
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-06-12', 1, 'Fiscal year-end crunch');
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-06-19', 1, 'Fiscal year-end crunch');
INSERT INTO work_sched (resource_id, a_date, works_on, remarks) VALUES ('12345', DATE '2010-06-26', 1, 'Fiscal year-end crunch');When finding the number of work days, we would join work_sched to days using both conditions:
ON work_sched.date = days.a_date
AND work_sched.works_on <= days.day_type
cal_id - refers to calendars table
cal_date - the actual calendar date
cal_year - the actual calendar year for the given calendar date
work_day - workday in that work year (resets each year, starting at 1, is 0 if that calendar date is not a work day)
work_date - if a work day, the calendar date, if not, the calendar date of the last work day (or in the first week of the calendar, the next work day)
work_week - work week of the work date (numbered starting at 1 , reset each year at the first Sunday of the year, before first Sunday will have last week of previous year, and the first year of the calendar will have all days prior to Sunday included in the first week, so the first week of a calendar could be more than 7 days)
work_year - year of the work date
work_days - shop day of the work date (except in first week of the calendar, before first shop day is 0), starts at 1 (at the beginning of the calendar), cummulative (does not reset each year)
cal_days - calendar day of the work date, starts at 1 (at the beginning of the calendar), cummulative (does not reset each year)This is a lot of denormalized data. that is, you should be able to easily deduce cal_year from cal_date, but sometimes it is convenient to store denormalized data.
Assuming the calendar starts on 1/1/2010 (these values are approximately correct--I just made my best guess to provide sample data):
INSERT INTO workdays

Post some sample data (if it's not what you've already posted), a couple of sample questions, and the exact answers you want from each question given that sample data. -
Combine select and update into single statement,without bind-variable
I have a problem, that I think is not possible to solve the way I want to, but I just wanted to check before leaving the idea...
I am looking for a way to combine the select and the update statement into one single statement. This is what I wan't to achive: select some data, and update the data selected before returning them.
On this site http://www.psoug.org/reference/update.html I see that the following are possible:
var bnd1 NUMBER
var bnd2 VARCHAR2(30)
var bnd3 NUMBER
UPDATE employees
SET job_id ='SA_MAN', salary = salary + 1000,
department_id = 140
WHERE last_name = 'Jones'
RETURNING salary*0.25, last_name, department_id
INTO :bnd1, :bnd2, :bnd3;
I need to have this as a single statement, and cannot use bind-variables. So I was hoping that something like this could be possible:
UPDATE customer c
SET c.HAS_CREDIT ='1'
WHERE c.HAS_CREDIT = '0'
RETURNING c.CUSTOMER_NO, c.FIRSTNAME, c.LASTNAME
where c.HAS_CREDIT = '1'
But this doesn't compile, complaining of missing into (ORA-00925: missing INTO keyword). And even though I would like this to be possible because this would solve my current problem, I think it would be very confusing. For instance; would the where clause of the returning part be operating after the update or before?
Any comments or suggestions on how to get it work in a single statement, or should I just leave this path straight away?Hi,
RETURNING only works with bind variables, see
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14261/returninginto_clause.htm#sthref3006
The real problem is that the form of RETURNING clause with bind variables is only valid for single row update or insert statements.
To update (or insert) multiple rows and return the data, you will need to use
RETURNING BULK COLLECT INTO clause. See
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14261/tuning.htm#sthref2236

Possible? two users/computers to share and update the same calendar?
We would like to have two people update the same calendar. How is this possible? Subscribers can't update?
ThanksIn short it isn't possible (currently). Subscribers cannot edit a calendar they subscribe to - it is read-only.

Hi.
Since upgrading to Mavericks (inc. latest update today), a perfectly harmonious environment of Entourage > Apple Calendar > Gmail > Android phone has fallen apart. I understand that this is down to Apple removing local sync services in the Mavericks 'upgrade', so I am now manually 'syncing' Entourage calendar events to Apple Calendar (Version 7.0 (1835.1)) by copying/dragging them across teh Calendar and syncing to Android via Gmail account.
Now, events in Apple Calendar are being duplicated - even if I create them in Apple Calendar.
And, when I delete one of the duplicated entries in Apple Calendar, both disappear from Google calendar and Android phone - and then the other in Apple Calendar.
This does not happen with all events, but I cannot figure out:
a) why duplicates are appearing and disappearing for some events, or;
b) what differs between the events that duplicate and those that do not.
Also 'in the mix', is a couple of third party apps that I think i should mention:
1. SyncMate - which I used successfully to sync my Android and iMac 2yrs and decided to uninstall post-Mavericks 'upgrade', and;
2. BusyCal, which I installed to trial as a fix post Mavericks 'upgrade' and uninstalled.
Both thrid party apps refuse to compeltely uninstall. I have gone through forums and trawled through Libraries to manuallly remove all residue of these apps, but they still pop up and prompt from time to time.
I mention the last bit regarding SyncMate and BusyCal, in case their residues are the cause of the Calendar duplications issue originally posted.
Can anyone please shed some light on a fix to both problems? I am dirty as all **** on Apple for the undocumented changes in the Mavericks 'upgrade' and am very close to going back to Windows (my iMac is an Intel model).
Ed.Thanks Eric.
I have pasted the Etrecheck output at the foot of this post.
Something I tested earlier that had an intersting outcome..... I created two test events; one in 'iCal' and one in Google Calendar. The latter quickly sync'd and created duplicate entries in 'iCal', but kep tto singel instacnes in Google and Android. The event created in 'iCal' did not duplicate and sync'd properly a single instance to both Googe Calendar and my Android. Neither tests created duplicates on the Android phone.

IPhone, Mac and a PC... Can the share and update a Calendar?
I'm hoping you all can help me with a need that I have...
I just got an iphone and would like to get my appointments in sync. the workflow would be this.
I would update my work calendar from my Mac or iphone... That is the easy part. The hard part would be is that I would like for my office assistant to be able to subscribe to that cal on her PC and be able to add appointments to that work cal as well.
Can this be done? If so how? Thanks in advance for your replies
Dual G5 2.5Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.9)Subscribed iCal calendars are read-only objects and cannot be modified.
Were it not for the PC platform, you could resolve the cross-user synchronization of read-writable shared calendars and contact records with SyncTogether™ from Mark/Space.
There are other possibilities, including the use of Google calendars and SpanningSync or using GroupCal to share Exchange calendars, but these seem rather clumsy.
You may simply have to wait for the release of Mac OS X 10.5 in September to achieve this. You can take a look at pre-release descriptions of the next release of iCal to get an idea of how CalDAV will make this all possible. -

I recently started using iCloud for my calendar and have installed the MS Outlook iCloud plug in, but whenever I receive calendar invitations in any of the mail accounts I have configured in Outlook, only my local calendar on my computer is being updated. How do I set up Outlook to have incoming calendar invitations update my iCloud calendar? I even tried opening the iCloud website, but all calendar items there also show up as .ics files, which automatically open in MS Outlook on my computer and again update only my local calendar (personal folders). I also tried setting the default data file in MS Outlook to the iCloud data file, but when I did that, Outlook gives an error message advising against setting the iCloud calendar as the default. I'm at a total loss and would GREATLY appreciate any advice anyone might be able to provide. Thanks to all for your time!
Hi Marknoon,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
In order to resolve this issue where you are unable to use iCloud calendars in Outlook, please follow the steps below, ensuring you follow them in order and testing after each step.
Troubleshooting on Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)
If you're having trouble with iCloud Calendar on a PC (with Outlook 2007 or later), try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved.
Note: iCloud Control Panel does not support Outlook 2010 Personal Edition. When using iCloud Control Panel 2.0 and later, iCloud Calendar event descriptions in Outlook 2010 do not support text formatting (bold, italics, or underline), HTML, images, or attachments. The contextual menu (right-click) has also been disabled.
Verify that you are using a Windows configuration supported by iCloud.
Make sure that your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Outlook. Learn about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to test if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Control Panel window. Learn about setting up iCloud on Windows.
Close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
Make sure that iCloud is not your default account in Outlook:
In Outlook 2013 and 2010, select File > Info > Account Settings > Data Files. If iCloud is listed as the default account in the Comments column, select a different account and click Set as Default.
In Outlook 2007, select File > Data File Management > Data Files. If iCloud is listed as the default account in the Comments column, select a different account and click Set as Default.
If you recently made changes in Outlook and they are not updating on your other devices or vice versa, click the Refresh button in Outlook.
Turn iCloud Calendar off and back on:
Close Outlook.
Open the iCloud Control Panel:
In Windows 8.1, go to the Start screen, click the down arrow in the lower-left corner, then click the iCloud app.
In Windows 8, go to the Start screen, then click the iCloud tile.
In Windows 7, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
Deselect the checkbox next to Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks, and click Apply. Wait a few seconds, then replace the checkmark and click Apply.
Open Outlook and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
Make sure that the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook. (Learn more about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook.)
Outlook 2013 and 2010:
Open Outlook 2013 or 2010.
Click the File menu.
Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
Outlook 2007:
Open Outlook 2007.
From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
Select Add-ins from the left column.
Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
Note: When enabling Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks in the iCloud Control Panel, part of the setup process is to copy your Calendars data from the default Outlook .pst file to iCloud, then remove the Calendars from the .pst file by placing them in the Deleted Items folder in Outlook. The Calendars data is then stored in the iCloud data set within Outlook so that changes can be pushed to and from Outlook by iCloud. Make sure that you're looking for your data within the iCloud folder in Outlook after enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel. The deleted files can be seen by viewing Deleted Items within your Outlook Folder List. This is not iCloud removing your data. iCloud simply copies your data into the iCloud data set and then removes the local Calendars data by placing it in the Deleted Items folder.

Take care,

Family Sharing and family calendar ???
I've read that the Family Sharing feature in iOS 8 offers a family calendar. Looking for some guidance on how it works pls.
We have four family members in our household, and each person has their own separate iCloud ID: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] This allows each of us to have a separate email address, separate 5GB of storage, etc. I have set up Family Sharing on all our devices. I am the Family Organizer (in Apple terminology).
In addition to the separate calendar that each of us has with our individual iCloud ID's, my understanding is that we also can have a family calendar that all four of us can share. I guess this would be a 5th calendar in our case: our four individual calendars plus the family calendar. But I do not know how to set up the family calendar. And once set up, I do not know how to specify that an entry should go on the family calendar versus going on my individual calendar.
Advice welcome.Hi pomme4moi,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
When you set up Family Sharing and added your family members, this should have created a shared iCloud calendar called Family that the other four iCloud accounts can use.
Family Sharing creates a family calendar where everyone can view, add, or change events and appointments, and they can also get an alert when something changes. And anyone can use the Reminders app to send time or location reminders to the family. So when it’s picture day, pizza night, or just a trip to the beach, everyone’s in the know.
From:
Family Sharing
You can add an event to the Family calendar by adding the event as normal:
Add an event. Tap , then fill in the event details.
From:
Calendar at a glance - iPhone
From the add an event screen, swipe down and tap Calendar, then choose Family to add the event you're creating to the shared family calendar.
Best Regards,

How to use a single page for create and update mode.
Hi,
I need to develop a single page to be used for both create and update modes.
I am going to use a variable MODE
and i will set this in the emp summary page.
Based on the button clicked by the user i have to render the JSF page.
For tis if the user selects a perticular and cliks on update thn i will pass the empno to the next.
so there in the next i will appy a ViewCreiteria on my View Obj to fetch only that row so that only that emp will be displayed ion update mode.
This is working fione for me.
So now the issue is
when the user clicks on CreatEmp button.
i need to enable my VO for insert operations.
for this i wrote the code like this in the beforePhase event
FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ValueBinding valBinding = ctx.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{data}");
BindingContext bContext = (BindingContext) valBinding.getValue(ctx);
DCDataControl dcControl = bContext.findDataControl("DataControl");
Application app = ctx.getApplication();
ApplicationModule am = (ApplicationModule) dcControl.getDataProvider();
System.out.println("After Appmodule initiation");
// get the VO reference and initiate the query
System.out.println("Before Page VO initiation");
PrismDmPageSectionViewImpl vo = (ViewImpl)am.findViewObject("View");
//ViewRowImpl row = (ViewRowImpl) vo.createRow();
/* TO CREATE AN EMPTY ROW*/
Row row=vo.createRow();
System.out.println("New Row is created");
//vo.createKey(row);
vo.insertRow(row);
vo.setCurrentRow(row);
By doing this a new empty page is rendered.
But when i fill up the values and click on ok.. i am getting the error like this..
JBO-27023: Failed to validate all rows in a transaction.
JBO-27027: Missing mandatory attributes for a row with key null of type View3
JBO-27014: Attribute Id in View3 is required
JBO-27014: Attribute PageeId in View3 is required
Please point me out where i am missing.
ThanksHi,
In my opinion you are over complicating things.
This is what I do for using the sme page as both create and update without all this code.
1) Create a browse page containing a an adf table with a select one component bound to your view object.
2) Create an additional edit page containing only an edit form containing fields of your view object that your users must enter in order to add or edit rows.
3) Link the pages in the JSF diagram with an "edit" navigation case from browse to edit page and a "return" navigation case from edit to browse (make sure that redirect option is NOT set on both cases)
4) Remove the submit button from the edit page and add two application module bindings for the commit and rollback operations as command buttons in the form footer facet. Make sure that both buttons has an action of return and that their disabled property is set to false. You will probably change their labels to ok and cancel respectively.
5) Drop a create action for your view object from the data control palette inside your page as a command button and set the action property to edit also.
3) Set the action property of the view button to edit
This should basically work without any code from your part. -- at least it does so for me -- if you like to make it a bit more funcy you may add am action listener inside your buttons and set a requeScope variable for example #{requestScope.editing} to true or false depending on the button clicked. Then add a title to your page with a value like #{requestScope.editing == true ? 'Editing record' : 'Adding a new record'}..
Hope that helps.

I updated my iPhone 5c to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events. How can I get them back?
I updated my IPhone 5C to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events. How can I get them back? I had it saved to the cloud but then changed it because I did not want to save everything to the cloud. I changed it back and still don't have any events.
Are they still listed on your device when you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Numbers? If so, they should still be in iCloud but you may need to contact support to find out why the Numbers app isn't able to access them: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

I am new to Creative Cloud, but have been using Adobe software for many years.
Now we are considering sharing an Indesign file with my project group using CC.
The Indesign file contains links to external files (one Illustrator and multiple .txt files); and we export the approved version to an Hi-Res PDF.
These .txt files are currently hosted on our internal server but have not been linked directly: we first copy them over to local desktop and update the links in Indesign before creating a new PDF.
Since these file can be update by different people we would like to keep them outside the Indesign and Illustrator files.
Is it still possible with CC to link directly to the files on our server in Indesign and see if there have been updated?
Or can they also be stored in the CC cloud? Or is there another method?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions
RonaldThis will work if you all use the file syncing of the Creative Cloud desktop application and then you use the Collaborate option for the folder containing all the files. Then it will work on each of your desktops.
Links to files will not work in the browser when viewing the InDesign document from https://creative.adobe.com/files. -
Outlook-Updates to EXISTING Calendar and Contact entries not syncing correctly - two PC's
My setup is two PC's (one at work, one at home), one BB. Both PC's Outlook are Outlook 2003, SP3. I do not use BES. I sync my BB to both PCs.
I have experiencing specific issues where updates to existing Outlook Calendar (mtg notes) and Contact (contact notes) are not being sync'd from one PC to the next PC (via my BB device - Sprint Curve 8330 running OS v4.5.0.131). I sync PC's to my BB using BB Desktop Mgr (v4.7) and USB cable.
Here are specific details of what I am doing to duplicate the issues.
1) Calendar:
I have been away from work the past two days. In that time, I have updated two (2) calendar items at my PC at home - both items are at my work PC as well.
Item one: I moved the date from Wed to Thurs, and added a note - done from home PC
Item two: I changed the description of the meeting, and shortened appt from 3 hrs to two hrs - done from home PC
Both items sync OK with my BB
Upon coming to work this morning, neither sync'd to my work PC. I finally did the following:
Item one: I deleted from Desktop Outlook, opened in BB put a space in the meeting description saved.
Item two: Opened on BB, put a space in the meeting description saved.
Upon resyncing, here is what happened
Item one: Sync Mgr noticed conflict of deleting from PC and changed in BB. I chose to copy item to PC. This results in syncing correctly to PC
Item two: Sync'd to PC correctly.
Something is NOT right. The sync process did NOT recognize these two items that changed until I manually intervened (updating on the BB).
2) Contact:
I ran a test today where on my work PC, I added a comment into one contact's note. I successfully sync'd that contact note to my BB. However, when I sync the BB with my home PC, that note did NOT make it to the home PC.
I opened the contact (in edit mode) on my BB, inserted a space to the contact's name, erased the space, and saved the contact.
I then sync'd the BB to the home PC again. This time, success - the contact's note got sync'd to the home PC.
HELP
I have seen this sort of thing a few times before (where sync did not sync a Calendar event/mtg correctly) in the past three months or so I owned my BB - but this is the first time I decided to actually test out the fix. This is the first time I noticed with a contact (maybe b/c i do not look at my Contacts updates as closely as I do my Calendar mtgs updates)

2 things..... I somehow had created a duplicate calendar which may have been >blocking the sync. If you have it as well, delete this calendar and try to sync.
I have several calendars in Outlook - there is the main one which contains everything, then where I have marked certain entries as 'Personal' or as 'Anniversaries' etc a separate calendar is created with those entries in them.
Also, I read somewhere that some calendar entries will corrupt the sync of the > phone. Delete all new entries since the last successful sync and enter a test >entry and try to sync the phone. To the best of my knowledge, there is no >indication that an appointment is "bad" other than the phone will stop syncing. >So perhaps after each sync, check the phone to ensure any new entries appear.
I can't possibly tell when the last successful synch occurred! I also don't want to delete entries - I need them all!
There appears to be very little advice on this problem, hopefully this will >work.
Yes, it seems that the Great God Apple isn't anywhere as smart as it thinks it is. I am really frustrated and not a little angry. This is basic stuff for any other phone, let alone a Smart Phone!
Thanks for your comments, though. -
After syncing and updating my iphone my iCalendar on my computer lost most of my information. Including wiping out an entire calendar group. When trying to readd the calendar group it won't let me add events to my calendar under that category. A message pops up that says: "You can't add events or to do items to a calendar group. Select an individual calendar in the calendar list, then create your events or to do items." Any help here would be greatly appreciated! I would like to either retrieve the old information or find a way to add the category back in to start over. Thanks in advance!
