BUG: Default reminder set in Live cal. even when specifying Reminder=None in Outlook 2013

Since switching from Outlook 2010 to 2013 I have been getting calendar apointment alerts on the Windows Phone and iPad linked to my Live account, even though I am creating appointments specifying no reminder.
After a lot of investigation, I can see exactly what the problem is. I have created many test appointments and exported from Outlook and examined the resulting file.
If I have asked for a reminder, "Reminder on/off" is True and specified reminder date/time is present.
If I have asked for NO reminder, "Reminder on/off" is False *but* reminder date/time is present based on the Default reminder setting. This occurs even when the tickbox for Default reminder is unticked (and there is no default setting
for None apart from unticking).
When that appointment reaches my Live calendar, it appears with a reminder, based on the date/time that Outlook 2013 has supplied, even though "Reminder on/off" is False.
Is this a bug in Outlook, which surely shouldn't be putting default reminder date/time into the data when Reminder is set to None.
Or is it a bug in Live, in that is should disregard any reminder date/time if "Reminder on/off" is False?
The reminder does not pop up in Outlook, although it does on sync'ed devices.

Hi Mark,
Thank you for your update.
Based on my long-time research, seems it’s the default behavior of Windows phone. The reminder is set to 15 minutes by default and it’s not possible to change the setting by default. See:

Some Outlook tasks only showing up in Outlook Web App, even if they were entered in Outlook 2013 or on the iOS email client.

A user creates tasks in Outlook 2013, his Exchange email account on his iPhone and in the Outlook Web App (Not Outlook.com). A small number of these tasks will only show up in the Outlook Web App, though, no matter which platform he entered the
task from. He can enter a task in Outlook 2013 and it might not show up on the task list in Outlook 2013 or IOS after that, but WILL show up in the outlook Web App task list.
At first I thought sorting was the issue, but we compared all tasks in both Outlook 2013 and OWA, sorted by due date, and, sure enough, some were missing from 2013.
What I am not sure of:
If/how long a task will be visible on the platform it was submitted before it begins only appearing in OWA.
How long ago this started
I couldn't find this issue in the community or with a quick google search.
I am going to see when he is available to sit down and go through tasks to see if there is a pattern and try replicate it so I can see how long it might be available on the submitting platform before disappearing.
I can provide any other info needed. Thoughts on this issue?

Hi,
I would suggest you reset the view if you found some tasks in Outlook missing.
VIEW tab -> Reset View.
Or we can simply start Outlook with the switch "/cleanviews"(Restores default views. All custom views that you created are lost):
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /cleanviews” in the blank box, then press Enter.
Check if this helps you find the missing tasks.

Why is email being sent from my secondary and not from my default account as per my settings - even when I remove the secondary email account?

I have 2 email accounts on my iPhone 4S. My secondary account is a gmail account. My primary account (not gmail) is set as my default account. Why, when I compose a new message in my primary account and then send, the email is issued from from gmail? And then why if I delete/ remove my gmail account from my iPhone and then compose a new message from my primary account (now the only account on my iPhone) it still sends from the gmail account?

No, "My Number" was not listed in my Phone menu, I had to manually type it it. Is there a way for that number to automatically be listed in that "My Number" spot? Would that maybe have something to do with my phone number not being listed as an option in the "Send and Receive" spot under messaging???

Sound defaults to HDMI output after reboot (even when HDMI not connected)

Toshiba Chromebook 2, on Chrome OS
Trying to figure out how to change the default back to internal audio speakers permentantly. Whenever I close/reopen the laptop, it changes back to HDMI as deafult and I have to manually go back and change the settings. The cord isn't even plugged in anymore, this is confusing.
Any solution?

Not many ChromeBook users hang around here. Best to post in the Chromebook Forum.

Set.contains returns false even when the set contains the element

As per java documentation, set.contains(o) returns true if and only if this set contains an element e such that (o==null ? e==null : o.equals(e)). In my case it doesn't (I have tested with Java 1.50_09 and Java 1.6.0). Look at the small toy example below. The last assert statement fails. But as per the documentation, it should not, since an element sc exists in the set such that sc.equals(sc2).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks

        return s.equals(s2.s);
public class TestSets {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Set<StringCapsule> set = new HashSet<StringCapsule>();
        String s = "test";
        StringCapsule sc = new StringCapsule(s);
        StringCapsule sc2 = new StringCapsule(s);
        set.add(sc);
        assert (set.contains(sc));
        assert (sc.equals(sc2));
        assert (set.contains(sc2)); // THIS FAILS
        System.out.println("Finished with set size " + set.size());
}Copy above code to TestSets.java, and compile and run to reproduce
javac TestSets.java
java -ea -cp . TestSets

If you have generics available, you should have annotations as well. One way to avoid this kind of problem in the future is to use
@Override
public boolean equals (Object o) when you know you want a method to override it's parent.

Can't find junit classes even when specified in -classpath

Hi folks,
I've a jarfile called SmokeTests.jar.
Within the manifest of this jar I have the following lines..
Class-Path: ./libs/junit.jar
Main-Class: mytests.AllTests
I create the jar using ant which converts this to ...
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.2
Created-By: 1.4.2_10-b03 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
Main-Class: com.cognotec.otg.TestDealingService.AllTests
Class-Path: ./libs/junit.jar
the structure of folders is as follows.
SmokeTests
     |
     --->libs
               |
               --->junit.jar
     |
     --->distrib
               |
               --->SmokeTests.jarMy current working directory is the SmokeTests dir.
I've attempted to run the AllTests.class within the jar using the following cmd line
java -classpath ./libs/junit.jar -jar distrib/SmokeTests.jar
alas it doesn't work. I get the following error.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: junit/framework/Test
which implies that junit.jar isn't on the classpath?
I thought using the Class-Path: manifest entry you had to specify any external jars that your application would use i.e. ./libs/junit.jar and then you still have to include these in the classpath as I have done.
-classpath ./libs/junit.jar
Can anyone spot what i've done wrong?
Thanks,
Mark.

Turns out that my mistake was in presuming that the libraries referenced
in the Class-Path entry had to have relative paths to the working directory
from where the jar was executed but instead they had to be relative to the
location of the jar file itself that contains the Class-Path entry.
I was running
java -jar distrib/SmokeTests.jar
The libraries were in the libs folder which is adjacent to the distrib folder
the relative path to which is ../libs/ from the location of the jar file itself not ./libs
Painful.
Thanks,
Mark.

Cannot change calendar default reminder setting

When my calendar reminder pops up it gives me the option to end the reminder or snooze for a preiod of 5 mins. This is far too short so I went to Calendar, Options, General Options and under Actions set the Default Reminder to 15 min and saved the change.
When a reminder pops up the snooze time is still 5 minutes despite the change I made. Very annoying !
What can be done to set the reminder time to anything other than 5 mins ? Have I changed the wrong field, or is this a bug ???
Blackberry Curve 8520
v4.6.1.314 (Platform 4.2.0.135)

I would try doing a clean software reload on your BlackBerry.
Be sure to back everything up as the process listed in KB11320 will delete all your user data and reinstall the applications only.
Before restoring any data, test the Calendar. Change the settings and try making a new appointment.
It's recommended to do a selective restore of your data. KB10339 will walk you through the restore process.
Let me know how yo make out.

Firefox will not allow use of my Outlook 2003 email even when default it tries to use Windows Live.

Using Firefox 3.6.12 on Win7, Outlook 2003 email. Firefox will not use my Outlook email even when set as the default, or when "always asked" is used. Always tries to open Windows Live when "sending link", or with website hyperlinks for email.

This has all been done and the problem persists.
It tries to open Outlook first, then the message "Navigation to this webpage was cancelled" and it proceeds to open Windows Live mail.
I don't know if the problem is with Outlook or Firefox..

Try this and see if it helps. Refresh your iTunes account. Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to purchase again.

JPGS are set to open in Photoshop Elements, but they open in Windows Photo Viewer instead, even when I specifically select Photoshop (and it's the default app)

Hi,
It seems this is a Microsoft related. You are referring on how to set JPG Image in Photoshop Elements by default. You may try visiting Microsoft's Support page http://support.microsoft.com/ for you to get the correct information/help you need.
Thank you.

I still distribute most FCP projects via DVD. No matter which MPEG2 setting I use in Compressor 4 I get an error - even Apple's default DVD setting. Has anybody successfully output an FCP X project to compressor and then out on a DVD?

Anthony, thank you very much - this works, though I thought I had tried your process previously without success. I've tried so many things who knows. I've had zero luck going with the Send to Compressor or Export Using Compressor Settings under the Share menu. I'm also finding Compressor 4 to be a real dog on my system even though I have a brand new quad core machine with 8G of RAM. Prior to receiving your post I did come up with a different work process. Using Export Movie from FCP X and then loading the result in Compressor 3 works flawlessly. Thanks again!

What would cause a subvi to show its FP even when it is set not to show (default setting)?

I have a subvi that suddenly decided to show itself even when instructed not to. What kinds of things would cause this?

Help!!! I deleted my default icon sets

OMG I just deleted my default icon set!!!
I accidentally overwritten all of them on candybar 2.6..!!! what should I do? Is there any way to restore it without re-installing MacOSX???
I changed my default aqua theme with Shapeshifter. then I decided that I don't like the icons set, so what I should've done is reset it first to default aqua icon set in Shapeshifter. But I didn't, I tried to reset it and apply a new one via Candybar.
So when I opened Candybar, a message came up telling if I want to overwrite the current icon set as my default. Stupidly, I pressed yes!!! Now this new icon set becomes my default aqua set, even if I use the restore defalut option in Candybar, it loads this new set!!!
I did search on spotlight on "icons" somehow all my default icon are stored in candybar application support folder?? can anyone tell me where MacOS store the icon files?

I'm not sure, but I have the feeling your Mac wouldn't like that very much. Reaching deep down into the system and plucking part of it out while it's running is a recipe for disaster. Also, while there are many icons there, not all are in CoreTypes.bundle. Some like Finder, Dock, HelpViewer are in CoreServices folder.
I would say to try the the 10.4.6 Stand Alone Combo Updater.
Since this is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before. But since these icons were changed with the apps you used, I doubt that an update would change them back.
I would live with the icons you have until we can find a good solution. If you really can't bear it you could "archive & install" and then reapply the 10.4.6 Combo Update.
What about the "Previous System" folder you have from the old archive & install? Were you able to get to the old CoreServices and dig out any icons there?

Taskbar & Start Menu Bug: App Shortcuts set to Run as Admin don't open pinned/recent files in RaA

This is pretty self-explanatory.
Run in Admin does not kick in when launching a file via a Taskbar's pinned app icon, even when the pinned app has been set to 'Run in Admin' mode (under Properties -> Advanced).
The same thing happens in the Start Menu -- the app can be set (Properties -> Advanced) to Run in Admin mode, and the file does not launch this way.
Why is this a problem? Because if one is supposed to use accounts like MS asks, then running as a standard user after having a file created in an admin account, that user cannot alter the doc in any way -- no saves work. At least this is true for files not on the C partition. The only way W7 permits saves is to run an app in Admin mode.
(I've run into this countless times in the span of a few days with Notepad & PSPad.)
If the W7 team wants to insist that docs won't automatically run in Admin mode under these conditions (which they should!!!!!!), then at least give users a right-click context menu option to Run as Admin from the recent/pinned items list. Currently there is no such context menu option.
Thereby, all recent items / pinned items are rendered a useless feature.....
Still loving this OS.
a.k.a.

Sorry but this is not an answer. The answer to the question is that you cannot run pinned items with the same properties as the pinned program.
I'll use Visual Studio as an option here but I'm assuming this is true for any program.
Yes, right click on the pinned program and choose the Advanced settings and you can have it run as administrator by default. For SharePoint development for example this is great (and required). You have to run Visual Studio as admin on the local box
in order to deploy your solutions from within Visual Studio.
Even if you pin the program to the start menu or taskbar after you've set it to run as administrator it works.
What doesn't work are pinned files. Visual Studio will pin the last 5 or so solutions you've opened. This is handy if you're flipping back and forth between solutions and saves you an extra step when launching the program in that you can select it from the
context menu that appears attached to the taskbar icon.
However regardless of the setting of the pinned program, files launch in regular user mode and do not respect the "run as administrator" setting on the pinned program. I consider this a bug as it should respect the setting. And as nesmond mentioned, it makes
pinning solutions in Visual Studio useless if you need to run the program as administrator. So the best scenario you have is to pin it and set it to run as administrator but then manually open the file after launching. There is no way to have the shortcuts
that are pinned to run as administrator.
