7.2 update disrupted my calendar and makes it so much harder to understand
UUpdates to 7.1&7.2 messed up my calendar and make it hard to understand/read. Can you go back to the old one? Or fix it?
Sorry, downgrading is not supported. YOu can look for third party calendar apps and see if they work better.

A while ago i went to sync music onto my Ipod Touch. Not only did the computer erase my music i had no idea how to get it back I contacted Apple on the phone but the name was american and i found it really hard to understand him. How do i get it back! i bought most of my music on itunes but i just dont have any idea where to go and whjat to do can any help me??
Respond please!Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if you can redownload your past music purchases (those that are still in the store) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you are not in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded, then have you not got it on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page -
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. -
We recently updated to CU8. I went to test out the new Public Folder access to calendars and contacts. I first go to Calendars in OWA and I see a list of several calendars. I see one that is listed twice, one I can open and the other states "Couldn't
open calendar - A connection couldn't be made with the shared calendar. Remove the calendar and try to add it again, or ask the owner to share it again." I also see other calendar's that we used in the past but no longer reside under public folders.
I get the same error on them.
For People, I can go there and I see a section called "Public Folder" and there is a contact list called "IT Team Contacts". When I click on it, it states in the middle pane "Your request can't be completed right now.
Please try again later." This contact list is not on our public folders.
Any ideas on why we I'm seeing these issues?
Thanks,
Jeff DaileySeems like some orphaned PF favorites. You should be able to remove them from Outlook, or via MFCMAPI

HOW TO SHARE CALENDARS AND MAKE CHANGES
HELLO,
I AM TRYING TO SHARE MULTIPLE CALENDARS IN ICAL WITH MY BOSS. HOWEVER, BECAUSE I'M THE AUTHOR OF THE CALENDAR AND HE'S A SUBSCRIBER, HE CAN'T MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE CALENDAR OR SYNC IT TO HIS BLACKBERRY. IS THERE ANY THING WE CAN DO?? PLEASE HELP.My boss and I have a similar problem - We both have mac's in a PC environment and backbone, I have editing rights in his calendar and it comes up in my ical on my computer but when I sync with my iphone his calendar does not show and I can therefore not make changes or notify anyone on the road that he isn't available. I find in incredulous that no one has answered you or my post earlier about virtually the same thing, I equally find it incredulous that this is an issue with Mac/ical/iphone STILL. Hope someone gives us an answer. Have you guys figured anything out on your own yet?

Nokia 6730C - Software update mess up calendar and...
Hi,
I went from a N95 that was flawless (but broke) to a 6730C and I'm a bit frustrated...
I have done 1 or 2 Softwre Updates and everytime it has messed up the phonebook and calendar...
My contacts are given multiple phonenumbers like mobile, home, work etc. After an update there is like 2 or 3 copies of each contact in the phonebook, some with all the phonenumbers, some with only home or mobile for example, some with NO numbers at all and so on... The last update copied and filled my phonebook with no less thatn 721(!) contacts
My calendar is synced with my computer at work and updated against Microsoft Outlook with no problems at all. But every Software update has deleted, changed or moved multiple calendar notes... For example it moved around 15 birthdays from different dates in the calendar to the 29th AND 31st of December...
It drives me crazy having to edit the phonebook and calendar manually every time I do a software update.
Any one else having these problems? Any tips or suggestions how to avoid these kinds of problems?
Regards

Can you elaborate on how the appointments are being messed up? Are they duplicating on your device? Are you getting any error when you are trying to sync?
Thanks,

Hi MSDN Forum,
I have created an Access Web App that I am hoping to add some functionality to. I am looking to provide email notification to different users from my organization (a field within the Access Table) when the current date approaches the renewal date (another
field within the Access Table). I would also like to display all renewal dates on a SharePoint Calendar for users to see. Any advice on how to do this would be much appreciated.
Thanks!I'm not familiar with how Access Web Apps work. However, on the SharePoint side of things, it looks like a workflow will be your best bet. Are you using Visual Studio? I've created a few tutorials on sending email notifications in Visual Studio 2012. https://youtu.be/JFdiQEyDkEk

"Group" calendars and SSL trouble...
Server: SL 10.6.3
Clients: SL 10.6.3, L 10.5.x
Because we're trying to run Mobile Access Server (MAS), we cannot use Kerberos for calendars on a mobile device like a laptop or iPhone. So SSL it is.
However I find that I have to create the calendar as Kerberos, relaunch iCal, then change it to SSL.
I can't ask my users to do that, especially since sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries.
Do any of ya'll have any ideas that may help?
Thanks!Hi,
The web group calendar works with its group. User iCals can interface to a web group calendar and make entries that get uploaded if they are group members, but the user of the web group is the group. In other words they are two different calendars and a specific users calendar is not viewed on the web. The web calendar is not an iCal like application.
Use Directory.app under Utilities to setup Locations and Resources.
For setting up a user to interact with group calendar through iCal take a look at

Hmm on the Mac, go to the apple >> system preferences >> iCloud. Verify you are signed in. Make sure calendars are checked off. Click on account details and verify you are signed in with the right apple id.
Open calendars and verify you have an iCloud entry in the sidebar (click calendars in the upper left to open the sidebar if you're on mt lion).
Create a test entry in a calendar located under under iCloud.

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.

My itunes is on an old computer. So old that I can't update it and so Haven't used it in two years. How can I move it to my new laptop and make sure this doesn't happen again? Very frustrated that I've spend $$ but can't get my music.
I want so set up itunes on my laptop and make sure that I get all of my old music and any music shared from my sons' itunes accounts. Do I have to set up itunes on my new laptop first and then use the same logins? Really concerned about losing any music, etc.These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

[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:
CREATE TABLE work_groups
( group_id VARCHAR2(5) NOT NULL
, group_name VARCHAR2(25)
, group_desc VARCHAR2(200)
, CONSTRAINT work_groups_pk PRIMARY KEY (group_id)
INSERT INTO work_groups
VALUES ('A','Group A','Group A description');
INSERT INTO work_groups
VALUES ('B','Group B','Group B description');
INSERT INTO work_groups
VALUES ('C','Group C','Group C description');
INSERT INTO work_groups
VALUES ('D','Group D','Group D description');
CREATE TABLE resources
( resource_id VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL
, type VARCHAR2(1)
, description VARCHAR2(200)
, group_id VARCHAR2(5)
, CONSTRAINT resources_pk PRIMARY KEY (resource_id)
, CONSTRAINT group_id_fk FOREIGN KEY (group_id)
REFERENCES work_groups (group_id)
INSERT INTO resources
VALUES ('A001','M','text here','A');
INSERT INTO resources
VALUES ('A002','M','text here','A');
INSERT INTO resources
VALUES ('A003','M','text here','A');
INSERT INTO resources
VALUES ('B001','M','text here','B');
INSERT INTO resources
VALUES ('B002','M','text here','B');
INSERT INTO resources
VALUES ('C001','M','text here','C');
INSERT INTO resources
VALUES ('C002','M','text here','C');
INSERT INTO resources
VALUES ('C003','M','text here','C');
INSERT INTO resources
VALUES ('D001','M','text here','D');
INSERT INTO resources
VALUES ('12345','L','text here','A');
INSERT INTO resources
VALUES ('12346','L','text here','A');
INSERT INTO resources

INSERT INTO resources

INSERT INTO resources
VALUES ('12349','L','text here','C');
INSERT INTO resources
VALUES ('12350','L','text here','C');
INSERT INTO resources
VALUES ('12351','L','text here','D');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');
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)
);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)

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.

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
VALUES (3, TO_DATE('01/01/2010','mm/dd/yyyy'),2010,0,TO_DATE('01/04/2010','mm/dd/yyyy'),1,2010,0,1);

I'm working in 10g (XE).

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??That's what I was thinking, too.
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.
