Cannot rename Reminders List in iCal for Exchange Task List

I figured out that Exchange Tasks show up in OS X Lion as a Reminder List in iCal.  When I create a new Reminders List in iCal using File > New Reminder List > Exchange, it creates a new list with the name Untitled in the Reminders pane of iCal.  I can then rename the new (Untitled) list that I created by selecting the corresponding Reminders List from the Reminders drop-down and double-clicking over the Untitled name to rename it.  It seems that iCal successfully renames the Reminder List, but once it syncronizes with the Exchange Server, the Reminder List that I just renamed changes back to Untitled. Has anyone else experienced this issue and/or found a solution?  I don't always have the ability to log into Windows and would like to have the functionality to manage my Reminders Lists from my Mac.

This worked for me:
The Problem: I also had the problem where I couldn't create a Reminder List having the same title as a Calendar List.  At one point I think I had the title of "Work" as both a Reminder and Calendar List, then when I deleted it from the Reminder List, it wouldn't allow me to create it again, and would go to Untitled.
The Solution (try at your own risk!):
(1) Backup the Calendar that has the same name.  Select the Calendar by clicking the Calendar button in the top left and click on the calendar.  Go File menu -> Export -> Export... .   It should show your calendar name with ".ics" at the end, save this somewhere.
(2) Delete the Calendar: Click the Calendar button in the top left and right-click on the calendar, choose delete.
(3) Create the new Reminder list with the name that you want.  It should now allow you to.
(4) Import the calendar you backed up in step 1.  Go File menu -> Import -> Import... and choose the .ics file you backed up. I've done this last step in the past but not this time around since I actually didn't care for the calendar to come back, so I don't remember the exact process after here.  I think it either gives you an opportunity to merge the events of the ics file into an existing calendar, or you can create a new calendar for the importing events.  If it doesn't give you this second choice, then first create a calendar with the name you want, select it, and start the import process over again.
Hope this helps!

  • Outlook 2007 Clients Cannot Access Free/Busy Calendar info. for Exchange 2010 Mailbox

    Hi:
    I have Outlook 2007 clients that cannot access Free/Busy Calendar info. for Exchange 2010 mailboxes.  They receive error like "...you do not have appropriate permissions..."
    If those same users logon to a machine running Outlook 2010 then they can view the free/busy info. of the other user's mailbox, so I believe the permissions are set correctly on the mailbox to allow the viewing.
    Any insights are greatly appreciated!
    Thank you!
    Bob Herman IT Tropolis

    Hi Herman,
    As you said, it seems users have proper permissions on mailbox.
    Please make sure users has Reviewer permission on Outlook 2007.
    Please try to run Outlook 2007 under safe mode or re-create profile.
    Also try to turn Outlook 2007 to Exchange Online mode from Cached mode.
    Thanks

  • Cannot unlock E75 after using Mail for Exchange

    Hi,
    I tried Mail for Exchange with my new Nokia E75 and it worked very well, fetched my company e-mail and everything looked good. During the installation the setup wizard asked whether to sync and how often, etc and I said yes. The setup program insisted that I need to take phone locking into use. It sounded strange but I accepted.
    Now I see that I cannot connect my Nokia E75 to my computer with USB anymore as it is in locked mode! When trying to unlock the from from control panel, all I get is "Unable to unlock the phone". I even removed the whole Mail for Exchange mailbox configuration but it did not help.
    So two question: a) are Mail for Exchange and USB really mutually exclusive? b) how I can unlock my phone?
    Thanks!

    Others are having the same problem with other models, too:

  • I cannot make any appointments in ical for 7 October 2012

    I have been trying unsuccessfully to post calendar entries in ical for 7 october 2012. All other dates around then accept entries. All attempts to create entries on 7 October are established as 6 October. Even invitations from other users for 7 October are established as 6 October. It's like a huge dead cell in ical. Any suggestions?

    I would suggest posting this in the iCal forum for assistance from users in that forum.

  • How do I configure iCal for Exchange?

    OK, got my new 11" MBA, Mail is all set up with my Exchange server details and messages are flowing in and out. Contacts are being saved, all good. Except that iCal refuses to play ball; I just get the account cant be refreshed. My mailbox is on Exchange 2003 - anybody got this working?

    iCal only works with Exchange 2007 or later.  Microsoft uses a different connection protocol in Exchange 2003.
    You can try Davmail.  I do not use it and I am not promoting it so no guarantees.  The posts I'm reading seem to indicated it's a bit buggy, but maybe it's sufficient for you.
    Ralistically, your company should be seriously considering upgrading since Exchange 2003 is already past normal support and will go end of life in a couple of years.  Additionally, Exchange 2010 now supports Safari for Mac when connecting to Outlook Web Access, so basically, Microsoft really started showing support for Mac in Exchange 2010 (and not just giving Mac lip service.)

  • Default reminders for exchange calendar

    Hi,
    I am using exchange to sync my google (google apps) calendar. In google calendar I have set default reminder time (10 minutes). On my iPhone, these default reminders are not shown.
    I also tried to use default reminder time for calendar in iPhone (settings -> mail, contacts, calendar ->Default alert times) but these are not added to calendar synced using exchange.
    To be sure I added my google account twice (as an exchange account and as a regular google account).
    For regular caldav account default reminders works fine. These set in google calendar are always added + iphon adds reminders from settings.
    For exchange I can see only alerts that were added manually, when new event was created, they are synced between iPhone and gcal - but default reminders doesn't work at all.

    Hi ,
    I don't think there is configuration setting.
    You may try with a user exit . Consult your ABAP team for the requirement.

  • Ical reminders list won't sort on iphone

    ICal Reminders won't sort on the actual device it was intended for - the Iphone
    I just talked to Apple Express service over this problem.  I went to the trouble of transferring my to-do list onto icloud Reminders - where each item asked for a priority ranking and where you are then given options for how to sort  all the Reminders you entered - so that it can actually be useable as any Calendar/time management system would be.   I chose "by priority" of course, but you can also choose alphabetically, etc.  It must be said, at least to Apple, apparently, that the point of doing all this is so that the Reminders are available on your actual device - my iphone.  The Reminders all synced immediately to the Iphone.  However, the Reminders list is an unsorted jumble on my iphone.  Even when I tap out a Reminder on my iphone itself and choose a priority, the item remains at the bottom of the list as the last thing I typed in.  Apple Express Support "explains" that the priority ranking and the sorting choices are "not supported" on the device you want to use them on - the iphone.   They offered me "an article" that explains this in detail.   In other words, engaging with the Reminder function and choosing priorities and choosing sort orders is all just a cruel joke wasting your time.  I would have been better off just printing off my Reminders list on paper and circling the high priority items in red ink.  Oh - but you can't print it out either.
    Unbelieveable.  Apple's ICal Reminder function actually and actively leads you to engage with completing details and choices that don't even function, or in other words - aren't "supported" on the Apple device they are stated to be designed for.  Is there a device on which this function is actually supported?  "Not at this time"
    The only way to have your to-do list sorted on the iphone is to assign a calendar date for each one of them and then they only appear on that specific date.  You would not be able to view your whole list in anything other than the order you happened to enter the items.  No calendar/time management system I know of makes you put a date on every item in a  task list - some tasks have a due date, but most don't.  And every calendar/time management system allows you to sort your list, or view your list in a sorted order.   And print it out also.
    Apple advertises this Icloud Ical/Reminders system as a time managment tool and fails to tell us that vital functions don't even work on your iphone.

    Hello Christiansted,
    Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
    In addition to shuffle, you probably have repeat enabled. When you tap the screen or cover art while playing a song, the scrubber bar has the Shuffle button at the right end and the Repeat button at the left end.
    If the circular arrows are blue, it will repeat the album or playlist.
    If the circular arrows have a small number 1 on them, it will only repeat one song
    If they are white, Repeat is off.

  • E66 & mail for exchange - ocassionally cannot dial...

    Hello, I have a E66 and about 1100 contacts synced through Mail for exchange from Outlook 2007. The numbers contain space as digit separator, e.g. +420 611 258 369.
    It usually works o.k. for 1-2 weeks, but then I cannot dial any number either from dialed numbers list nor from the address book.I must restart the phone, and then it works - the same number that did not work 5 minutes ago. very strange
    Updating firmware nor mail for exchange did not helped. 
    Q1: anybody else experiencing this? 
    Q2: what are the "acceptable" digit separators for Nokia?
    Q3: any ideas - except for deleting digit separators? 
    Thank you. 

    I too have the same problem, tried reinstalling MfE deleting & creating the profile again etc. No success. Can anyone help on this?

  • TS1398 Stuck on Password Incorrect for Exchange, wi fi has changed , cannot get to General Settings

    I am stuck on a message Password Incorrect for Exchange (my work email). My Wi Fi password has been reset and it is trying to auto connect.  I cannot get to General Settings to change the Wi Fi setting.   Also stuck on FB app sitting behind the message.   When I dbl clk Home there are no apps listed. 

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    After the iPad starts up completely maybe then the apps will appear in the task bar and you can close them or maybe you will be able to back out of the apps after the reboot.
    You can also try force quitting the mail app.
    Force quit the app by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then hold down on the home button until the app quits. Restart the iPad. 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.

  • ICal for iPhone. View all events as a list without having to type into the earth box.

    iCal for iPhone. View all events as a list without having to type into the earth box.
    On the previous software version I used to be able to view all my calendar events as a list by clicking on the magnifying glass. Now you have to type into the search dialog box for a list to populate. This is very frustrating and annoying because I much prefer the list format to populate everything unless I specify what I am looking for into the search box. Is there a way to view all the events as a list without having to type anything into the search box?

    And you are aware of the possible options for listing the months and having an optional export value for each month.
    For listing the months, you can use a number, a 3 character string, or the full name.
    For the export value, the full name, the 3 character value, the 1-2 number, or the 0-11 JavaScript value.
    I would look at deciding how you want to populate the drop down box and build a one page form with just this field. You can then insert that page into a PDF and copy the field as needed and then delete the inserted page. Or you could create an FDF file to create the drop down box.

  • Cannot save any changes - Microsoft Forefront 2010 for exchange is unable to perform the requested function

    HI, I have Forefront 2010 for Exchange installed for an Exchange 2007 SP2 running on Windows 2003 x64 SP2. Exchange has all roles installed on the same server. 
    When I try to save any change on Forefront I got the following message:
    Microsoft Forefront 2010 for Exchange is unable to perform the requested function. This may be because Forefront services are unavailable. Ensure that all Microsoft Forefront services are running and that WindowsPower Shell is functional
    Well, our FF services are running and PowerShell is functional. I checked some forums and found some problems when there is entries in the IP Allow / Block lists in Exchange UI. I removed those entries but problem remains.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Xavier Villafuerte

    In my case, I was able to work around this issue by using  PowerShell directly.  For example, to run an on-demand scan for all mailboxes, this worked:
    #open EMS
    $aliases = (get-mailbox -result unlimited).alias
    Add-PsSnapin FSSPSSnapin
    set-FseOnDemandScan -MailboxList $aliases
    Start-FseOnDemandScan -EnableVirusScan $true
    Windows 2008 R2 SP1
    Exchange 2010 SP3, RU9
    PowerShell 4.0 present on the machine (though EMS runs PS 2.0)

  • HT4356 I have an HP 4500 printer connected to airport extreme with usb.  All our portable notebooks print via air but cannot get iPad to be recognized for printing.  Do I really have to have one of the other HPs listed?

    I have an HP 4500 printer connected to airport extreme with usb.  All our portable notebooks print via air but cannot get iPad to be recognized for printing.  Do I really have to have one of the other HPs listed?

    Rufus Cat-
    Even if it was compatible, AirPrint does not work through a USB link, only Ethernet or WiFi.
    I do not see your HP 4500 listed on Apple's list of AirPrint compatible printers.  <iOS: AirPrint 101>  Therefore you need to take another approach.  To start, I suggest you download the free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz.  It has limitations, but should get you printing with your existing setup.
    There are other printing Apps with more features such as Print n Share and PrintCentral, but they can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option.
    Your best option may be to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi.  Programs that are reported to do that well are Printopia and FingerPrint.  Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print.  <Printopia for Macintosh>  <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>
