Calendar and E-Mail Synchronization for 4 Devices with Exchange... Oh My!

Good afternoon from the Garden State! It’s a sunny day outside but all is overcast and grey here because of synchronization issues with Exchange....
We're having issues with synchronization and Entourage 2008 (12.1.7) between a Windows Vista system running Outlook 2007, a iMac, a MacAir and iPhone all centralized on a single Exchange e-mail account. Some of the symptoms include:
- Duplicate calendar appointments appearing the Exchange account after they are changed on multiple devices
- Calendar appointments whose date and time have changed but are not synchronizing across all devices
- E-mails that were sent a week ago are suddenly being sent again and received in duplicate
- Entourage refusing to receive new e-mails until the cache is cleared
Our primary issue relate to calendar appointments. Changes to calendar items are being made primarily via Outlook 2007 and then synchronized out to the devices although this is not always the case. E-mail appears to be less of an issue although update problems still occur.
We're going through now and trying to cut down the possibilities of errors and settings now. I searched a lot through the forums and found many individual issues but nothing this complex. The user in question is highly mobile and needs e-mail and calendar updates relatively quickly.
Anyone have a complex synchronization situation like this?
What have you done to deal with synchronizing the e-mail and calendar on this many devices?
Any ideas on where we should be focusing our troubleshooting efforts?
Any ideas on where we can get other information on synchronization issues?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple.

Two days ago, I lost a bunch of my contacts, appointments on my calendar, and my mail is working differently on iPhone! What happened? I didn't change anything! This has happened to other people I know too. How do I get my stuff back?!

We are itunes users just like you.
You should transfer all purchases to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases

I want to use 30 ipads to run kiosk software in my restaurant. Can I use one Apple ID (and one credit card) for all devices?

Alternatively you can always manage your iPads (does not matter how many) with a single apple id and all reporting to your account under "find my device" service. Keeping an eye on all your units. Additionally as you mentioned these are for your Restaurant you may find the solutions offered by this company who creates apps and hardware for this purpose: http://www.spartakioskpro.com
Additionally if you expand beyond those 30 iPads to say 300 you will want to enable or plan on MDM as your best option to automate every ipad to use the same profile and app and ios configuration while also keeping a close eye on all of them via online MDM services like: https://meraki.cisco.com/products/systems-manager

And I can't execute runUnInstaller.sh too becasu same error messages in logs/cli/error.log file.
Both error outputs same message "org/apache/xerces/utils/Base64" in log files, so I think CLASSPATH is wrong.
In runUninstaller.sh, below jar file name are written -classpath arguments.
/usr/share/lib/mps/jss3.jar
/usr/sfw/share/lib/xerces-200.jar
These Are settings correct?
If these settings are wrong, resync is set by same wrong settings in binary code?
Please tell me how to resync and to uninstall Identity Synchronization for Windows 1.0.

I mistakes log file name.
I wrote:

logs/cli directory is where idsync command outpus error.log and audit.log.
Sorry.

Checking BCC from an iOS device with Exchange Mail

All,
My question is simply, I have an iOS device with Exchange mail configured. From my phone or desktop I send an email with Joe in the "To:" and Mary in the "BCC:".
When I check the Sent items on my phone, and I go to that email, I only see "Joe".
Is this just a limitation within iOS?
More detail:
I'm testing on an iPhone 4S running v6.1.3 and I have my Office 365 account configured as Exchange email.
Thanks all!
-rudy

No.
For obvious security reasons, iOS devices cannot be controlled remotely. Desktop computers and mobile devices do not share all of the same functionality. Mobile devices are somewhat limited compared to a full computer.

Will I lose my Calendar and Addresses if I sync my iPod with a new macbook?

I just had to get a new hard disk and want to put my Cal and Addresses back on it. I can find lots of information about transferring my photos and music, but will I lose my Calendar and Addresses if I sync my iPod with a new macbook?

Before you sync, make at least one entry in your computer's Address Book and one iCal event (a fake entry will do). That will generate a "merge" prompt. Otherwise, the empty address book and calendar will overwrite what you have on your iPod.

I bought an epson xp650 a couple of months ago and cannot fault it. It does everything I require and it is the wifi model so I can print directly from my ipad/iphone. Not sure if you are asking about the colour of the unit or just to be able to print black and white, Obviously all printers will print black and white but just to give you a little more info the printer I bought is the white version and it looks really nice sat next to my imac 27''
Hope this helps.
