Calendar Notification + Google Apps + Super Admin + Macs + Notifications

Background: I’m a Google Apps Super Admin which means that I have access to almost everything, including everyone’s calendar. They show up under “My Calendar”
Issue: I have a few users under our account. ALL of their calendar’s show up on my account (it’s a super admin thing, cant be removed because that’s the way it is). My problem is that, I get notification for EVERYONE, for every event… because as far as the system is concerned, ALL of their calendars are my calendar. This is specifically annoying because every 15/30 mins or hour I get everyone’s notifications on my iPhone, mac, etc.
No I don’t want to set up another account and set them as admin, it causes too much confusion.
Please reply if you actually know about resolutions rather than speculations. I’ve had many threads where it went on forever because everyone thought they were an expert (I say this with totally respect).

This may give you results you seek - if you mainly just want the alerts to stop on your iOS devices

I'm also a gApps admin and have had similar issues. USUALLY, I could simply uncheck co-workers calendar listed in 'My Calendars' or 'Other Calendars' ( yes, they can appear in either place, don't ask, it's a Google Admin stupidity) to hide their schedule from my calendar. USUALLY, if i didn't see their schedule, I wouldn't see any alerts on my iOS hardware.
BUT. One colleague kept showing up no matter what.
I noticed most alerts I saw were invites, awaiting for me to accept (although I obviously was NOT) so I've tried the following on my iPhone (iOS 7)
Go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars
(scroll down to Calendars section at bottom)
Turn OFF New Invitation Alerts
Your mileage my vary.
I finally decided I don't typically need my co-workers schedule on my iPhone, so I went nuclear and went to my Google – iPhone/iPad calDav settings found at this Link: https://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect and turned off ALL of my co-worker calendar calDav syncing.
If you DO occasionally need to look at your co-workers schedules, use the iOS google calendar Web App:
Visit your Google Apps using Safari on your iPhone, iPad, etc.
Go to the Calendar and
Add it as a Web App to your iDevice (http://blog.blueleaf.com/how-to-save-your-favorite-website-as-an-iphone-app-vide o/)
Now when you need to check co-workers schedules – launch your new gCal webApp and scroll to the bottom, click the settings button to choose which co-worker schedule you want to view, save and voila.
Hope this helps.

I assume that there are legal restrictions on the way in which iTunes can get artwork automatically from any source apart from the iTunes Store (which is what the right-click > Get Album Artwork function uses). For example, even though the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to match CDs and retrieve metadata (artist, album, track titles, etc.) also has artwork functions, iTunes does not make use of these.
For manual addition of artwork, there are three cases where the image you select may not be correctly embedded in your media files:
your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files. To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties. On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white. Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected. Now try adding the artwork again.
Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12). See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

Google app run on mac outlook 2011

is there a way to setup google mail to run on mac outlook 2011?

Your question is better answered on Microsoft's site regarding Outlook. Here's a link to their information which you might find helpful: http://mac2.microsoft.com/help/office/14/en-us/outlook/item/bfda869b-fe57-4906-b b3d-1a7162b559eb?category=80716127-a22a-4d59-9e74-27332d8a44bb
Be sure to read the first "Note" because you may need to enable IMAP service in your GMAIL account settings first. Check the GMAIL support site for instructions on how to do this.

Invite Email not being sent from iCal from a Google Apps calendar

Hello,
I am running Mac OS X 10.6.5, iCal 4.0.4, and am attempting to do the following from a Google Apps calendar I have setup in iCal. Please note that it's not gmail, it's Google Apps. If that makes a difference. That being said...
I am trying to create a meeting invite from iCal. I am able to create the invite and add attendees with no problem. When I hit send (from iCal), the invitees do not receive an email notification of the event, but it does appear their calendar (both in iCal and via Google Calendar on the web). I need an email to be sent to the invitees that they have been invited to a meeting, not just to have it appear on their calendars.
When I create the meeting invite via Google Calendar on the Web the invitees do receive an email notification (as specified in their calendar preferences). The issue only happens when the meeting invite is created in iCal.
When an invitee accepts or declines a meeting via iCal I receive an acceptance or declining email. Just not when the meeting invite is sent.
Also, I am able to create a meeting on one of the "On My Computer" calendars in iCal, invite people, and a meeting invitation is sent as expected.
And again, the invitees have notification of meeting invites turned on in their calendar settings (as is shown by the fact that when the invite is sent out via Google Calendar on the Web they receive an email with the invite).
Thanks! Any assistance would be awesome.

That was actually my post on the Google forums
Here is what I have found so far (and hopefully some of my assumptions are correct, because we're making the full switch to Google Apps this weekend and I am assuming it will work after this). This is long, but I'm trying to be thorough. Also note that I have updated to 10.6.6 since the time I first posted my last message.
We are currently piloting Google Apps, so our primary domain (which I will refer to from now on as domain.com) still points to our old exchange servers. Mail is currently being delivered to our Google Apps pilot accounts the following way:
1. User sends an email to [email protected]. This email is delivered to our old Exchange servers.
2. Once the email is received on our old Exchange servers it gets forwarded to our Google Apps test domain (gtest.domain.com).
This seems to be an important piece of the puzzle as our primary domain (domain.com) shows up on the Google Apps for Admin dashboard as improperly setup (which is correct, because we're currently piloting)
So, in iCal I have my Google Apps account setup (I'm one of the pilot users) the following way. I added the Account as Google calendar in iCal, but once the account shows up it shows up as a CalDAV account.
Under the account information tab:
CalDAV
Description: [email protected]
User name: [email protected]
Password: my password
Under the server settings tab (*NOTE: these were entered in automatically when I setup the calendar as a Google calendar)
Server address: www.google.com
Server path: the path to my calendar.
Use SSL is checked
Use Kerberos v5 is NOT checked
So, during my testing I was sending meeting invites from people who were in the Google Apps pilot to other people who were in the Google Apps pilot. When I was doing that, no invitations were getting sent.
I created a new email account on our exchange server ([email protected]) but did NOT set it up to be a part of the Google Apps pilot (this means that emails were not being forwarded from [email protected] to [email protected]). Doing this successfully delivered all invites, cancellations, and meeting updates from iCal!
From what I can tell there must be something going on (probably my own fault) when a calendar invite is sent from my Google Apps account, through our old Exchange system, and then back to our Google Account. My assumption is it has something to do with the fact that our MX records for domain.com currently point to our old exchange servers, and the MX records for gtest.domain.com point to the Google Apps servers. It may also have something to do with the SPF record which only allows emails from domain.com to be sent from our Exchange servers.
Those are just guesses though as I am not very knowledgeable in that area.
I hope this helps and I would love to hear about anyone else working on this issue.

How to sync Google Apps contacts from ALL groups to Mac OS X Contacts/Address Book

I have some 4,000 contacts in my Google Apps account. I used to store all of them in Google's "My Contacts" category, but my iOS devices had huge performance issues searching through 4,000 contacts as I typed a name or phone number on the device. So I trimmed it down and only keep the 200 or so most often used contacts in the "My Contacts" folder. This works because iOS devices are only able to sync that one category of contacts.
However, I now want to sync my Google Apps contacts with Mac OS X Contacts/Address Book. I'd like it to sync ALL of the contacts, not just those 200 in "My Contacts".
Is this possible? I'm using Mountain Lion and Google Apps Premier.
I used to be able to achieve this using SpanningSync. But as of a couple weeks ago, SpanningSync has been permanently discontinued due to architectural changes with the sync engine in Mac OS X. I'm not aware of any other contacts synching tools that could do it.
I know that Address Book/Contacts won't be able to show my Google Apps categories--just a single long list of everyone. That's totally fine by me, as long as I can get all contacts in the Mac OS X application and only the My Contacts group on my iPhone and iPad.
Any and all guidance would be VERY much appreciated.

Unfortunately no, not at all. I've tried these boards which were obviously fruitless on this question. I've tried the Genius Bar. And I've tried other technical resources. I do not believe it's possible at this point.
"Little stuff" like this.... it's seemingly relatively trivial in the grand scheme of things, but can be real productivity killers when I have to go back and forth between Apple's Contacts software and the actual Google Apps/Gmail web UI. It's these little things that create quirks between Google Apps and Mac OS that almost make me want to return to Exchange. It's much more expensive and other than Outlook and Calendar/Mail/Contacts, there's no virtually no interoperability options on the Mac. But at least it's consistent and I know what will work and what won't.
On the other hand, I could also solve this problem by simply putting ALL of my contacts in my Google Apps account into the "My Contacts" folder. But that kinda defeats the purpose of having a "My Contacts" folder.
Sorry Steven--I wish I had a better update or a resource to point you to, but I'm at the end of the road on this one.

Does syncing your iphone iOS calendar with Google calendar overwrite what's currently in your iPhone calendar?

I have been syncing my iphone calendar over icloud. I want to sync it with my google calendar now, as well (my google calendar is currently blank and has no entries). If I set this up, will my iphone calendar get overwritten by my google calendar, ultimately erasing everything? The instructions I'd be using to sync my iphone calendar to my Google calendar are at the link below:
http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=151674
Thanks!

Though, to get you started, as is shown in step 1, you do need to export your calendars into google calendar....
Not true! According to http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=151674
By default only your primary calendar will be synced to your device. You can sync additional calendars by visiting the following page from any web browser:
https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect
(Google Apps users can go to https://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/your_domain/iphoneselect, replacing 'your_domain' with your actual domain name.)
Select the calendars you'd like to sync, and click Save. The selected calendars will display on your device at the time of the next sync.
I'm very happy to have found this thread (started on my birthday!) which has helped me use google calendar to sync the iCal calendar on my Cube running OS 10.4 to the iCal calendar on my iPhone 4. I'm now able to sync the iPhone to the Cube directly, but now it doesn't matter!
In order to sync the iCal calendar on my Cube with my google calendar I'm using BusySync.

Cannot turn on notifications for Google app

I want to make use of the new Google Now reminders feature that's part of the Google app. However, when I try to use it, it says notifications must be enabled for it to work. But when I go to the notification center in the settings app, Google is not in the list, so I cannot enable the notifications.
I tried removing the Google app and re-adding it, but this didn't help. Is there any way to add Google to the list of apps in the notification center?

Never mind - it appeared in Notification Center on its own after an hour or so!

Mac app store not in notification center

does anyone has this where the mac app store isn't in the notification center. I have checked and i see others getting notification banners and upadates in the notification center about software updates from the mac app store.
mine is a mid 2010 macbook pro 15" i downloaded mountain lion a month ago.
just curious and seeking some help
Jon

I thing this is a bug of Mac OS. Normally all apps sending notifications to the notification center should be listed under System Preferences -> Notifications. I wonder how apple forgot to put its own app under the list.
Do not be confused. Disabling updates is different than getting notifications about the updates.
I like to get updates for all my apps automatically but sinse I use my Macbook for work, I find it very disturbing to interupt what I do just to click "ok" to the notification because an app was updated. It is enough for me to know that all my apps are up to date.
I hope to see this fixed soon.

Calendar sync broken for Google Apps accounts

The Calendar no longer syncs with my Google Apps account; not in either direction. It pops up the sync notification and reports success, but nothing changes. I tried removing and adding the account. This actually broke in 1.2.1, but by the time I noticed, I assumed a fix was around the corner. 1.3.1 didn't help. I even created a brand new test account using the newly enhanced support for Google Apps. Mail and contacts work fine, but the calendar won't budge. Palm, I can give you the test account to play with if you'd like.
My standard Gmail account calendar syncs just fine. Saw the troubleshooting for standard account calendars and tried playing with the invitation options in my Apps account to no avail.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

#1 is good already. I tried changing the other differences: Default View was month, Location had my zip code, Automatically Add Invitations was set to Yes.
#2 using network settings correctly had me in Central, but it said Regina, Canada. Changed it to Chicago and rebooted, but I'm still not syncing either way on my account nor the test account.
Here's the really odd thing. My Pre has all four of your entires on the test account from the 3rd and 4th. I just tried creating entries for the test account from both my Pre and desktop, and I'm not seeing any syncing. I've forced it about five times over the past 20 minutes.
Sounds like we're down to it either being homebrew's fault or something stuck in my launch day profile that would survive a wipe. I wiped my phone under 1.3.1 to undo a lot of homebrew cruft, but I still can't say I ever tested this in a virgin state. Enh. Go ahead and close the ticket. My workaround is fine with me. Feel free to keep using the test account for other stuff if you want.

Google Apps calendar sync is notifying me of everyone's meetings...

I have a Google Apps account that I have syncing contacts, IMAP, and the Calendar.
There are ~50 calendars or so that are being synced, and by this I mean they're ON in:
http://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect
...and I've unchecked them in the calendar's "top" "Manage" menu, aside from those I actually want to view.
Yet I get notified from my coworker's meetings ... continuously. This is particularly irritating because the sync'ed account is not even an attendee in the meetings.
How do I get the notifications to go away?

Remove the App Store update Badge notifications

How can I remove the App Store update Badge notifications?

you CAN delete them it has to do with metadata!! google metadata removal of notifications and there will be plenty of explanations, Also look it up on youtube, I just finished watching a video on it!! there are always ways to remove things on any operating system, Just some are easier than others. if you don't know or only have wrong info to give then just keep your trap shut!!!! obviously there is a way to go around everything, Hackers have taught sony and the government all about this! (common sense) so if you don't know move along!! obviously I'm not advocating hacking, What I am advocating is people in chat rooms judging others or giving misleading info just to mess with others. You don't have anything more important to do than to try and misguide an innocent until proven guilty user with a question? Just because they don't want to update an app doesn't mean they are "doing something illegal:" many apps with updates lose features and actually makes an app that we use to enjoy very much, now not so great!! you all know I'm right because anyone with a smartphone has been through this, Do i update or not? we've all had that question. and as far as apple is concerned, had everyone "updated" there software last year when they rolled out the new what i like to call SECURITY BREACH update a lot more than the millions that were already exposed would be ****** off too!! Software update for the most part is a good thing, they fix bugs and allow our machines to run smoother, but don't for one moment think that the software updates are without flaws and certainly don't think they "the apps companies" have your best interest in mind!!

All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?

All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?
With iOS 6, the all day events showed up in the notification centre but it lacks in the upgrade iOS 7.

Same problem here. Some people pointed out that all-day events do show up in their notification center, but that seems only to be the case for birthdays (and only as text like the weather). I've tried it myself on my iPhone and iPad and it did work for birthdays but not for any other all-day events. I already sent this to Apple as a product feedback as well, as should everyone of you. The more people mention it, the faster Apple's going to fix this issue. In its current state, notification center is not a very helpful feature in my opinion. There's absolutely no point in not showing all-day events in the 'today' calendar overview.
Here's a link to the product feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I posted my message in the iPhone section since I couldn't find a page specifically dedicated to iOS 7.
I really love the look & feel of iOS 7 but it's kinda sad to see notification center not tapping its full potential.
Cheers!
