Converting from GroupWise to Outlook

Currently we have GroupWise installed. We are migrating to Exchange. We want to pre-install Outlook 2010 several weeks ahead of time. On the day the user is migrated, we are leaving the GroupWise software intact, but users will use Outlook.
I am having issues getting Outlook to connect to our Exchange server automatically. I was told by one of our engineers that it should work without any issue, but it's not working. It comes up and asks to create a new profile. In my msp file
I have chosen to create a new profile, but did not provide any information to go into that profile.

Do not have any direct experience with Groupwise migration but providing the following purely as information items in the event that these may be of assistance

Convert GroupWise to Outlook

It's real a good news for Novell mail client users because PCVITA Novell Address Book converter is totally free of cost as demo version. If you think about Novell GroupWise to Outlook migration then, just download NAB converter free of cost and convert
15 contacts from GroupWise to Outlook without paying any money. If you desire to convert whole contacts from GroupWise to Outlook Address book then pay $49 only for Full Version.

We didn't have much luck with the 3rd party migration tools when we did our Groupwise to Exchange conversion. The Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Migration Wizard actually worked the best even for Exchange 2007.

What is the SAFEST SEQUENCE to convert from a Outlook/iPad/iPhone synced with MobileMe to syncing with iCloud (I have 10 years of calendar diary events and 3000 contacts) - I am worried about the data issues that have been posted about iCloud.
This has worked fine with MobileMe with only a couple of minor glitches in the past.
Any experience doing this the "right" way?

Portfolio coversheet converting from Outlook

Converting from Outlook to pdf Portfolio is very use- and helpfull.
The automatically produced coversheet, indicating to use Acrobat Reader for best results is nerving.
How to avoid the creation of this coversheet (without any knowledge of programming!)
Thank you
vtosi

For Portfolios created in Acrobat, you can replace the cover sheet file in the installation folder:

Keep a backup of the original as if you damage it you'll have to reinstall. The (language) folder name depends on your Acrobat installation (ENU, FRA, DEU, etc.) not on the language of the PDF file you're creating.

Converting from excel 2004 to ical with Snow Leopard

tried to import data via iCalMaker but was informed by the software maker that they don t support Snow Leopard. So ... a bit lost.
I have the custom of preparing data in Excel, and would want to import some data into iCal. However I cannot find a good converter from either tab (preferred) or csv to ics. Similarly have no experience with applescripts and other fancy things. Is there somewhere an easy system to convert?

Ali,
Appears the iCal and Excel "wizards" forgot to supply us with a simple and much need way to import excel events, dates, birthdays, games etc. from excel to iCal..
...even the "wizards" at Ms Office 2011 do not allow an easy import from MS Office 2011 Excel to MS Office 2011 Outlook/Calendar...
...Yikes

Converting from Entourage to Mail for Mac on OS 10.5.6

Can anyone give me tips on how to convert from Entourage 2008 for Mac to Mail for Mac. I am on version 10.5.6 OS. Also, I have some files on Outlook (windows PC) that I want to move over to the mail including old emails, addresses, etc.
Any tips with specific instructions and other hints as to what to consider that won't transfer would be appreciated

OK
Scenario 1
(assumes Mobile Me membership)
Set up Apple Mail in your Mac Pro, iMac, ... and set preferences in Mobile Me to include email stuff
Login to MacBook Pro, Air, ... other iMac, other Mac Pro > enter mobile me stuff there and Bongo! Apple Mail on the second machine synchronizes with stuff set in Apple Mail on first machine.
Turn on the iPhone > Bongo! iPhone Mail will show the same email accounts as on the other two machines described above.
One does not need to re-enter stuff for the sake of it. Mobile Me makes it easy.
On the second machine create a new email account or add an existing one to Apple Mail > Bongo! Details updated on the first machine and also on iPhone.
Scenario 2
(assumes preferences set in Mobile Me for calendars and contacts)
Create new contacts in each of the three machines (that is the first machine, the second machine and the iPhone) > Bongo! Details will be synched across all three machines (okay, iPhone calls them contacts and the other machines call it Address Book but ... )
Create appointments in Calendar or iCal in ... well, they are synched as well.
Scenario 3
On a PC, away from each of the three machines detailed above. Need contacts and calendars (yes, iCal and iPhone calendar support multiple calendars with an overview summary of all, yep, ALL calendars.
Fire up Safari on the PC (Safari 4 seems sweet) > go to www.me.com > enter username and password of Mobile Me account > Bongo!
I suppose it may also be a time thing in sense that many people, self included, might recall a time when every calendar needed every detail keying in (other computer operating systems running different applications). Sure there were import/export utilities or thunks bet these tended to be at variance with each other regarding ordering of data fields, field parameters and in my own experience a bad import though swift was less reliable than re-keying in the details.

Centro - Advise on how to convert Palm OS to Outlook

On my Centro and computer (Windows 7) I have the Palm OS. I want to convert the data to Outlook. I saw the on computer Palm/PIM Conduit Sync/ Sych with Outlook. Will this do it or do I need other software. I want to covert all my data - contacts, calendar, notes, tasks. Thanks!
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

Hello egarley, you have "Palm Desktop" on your computer, not PalmOS.
The switch you have spotted will redirect all the data on your phone to Outlook at the next Hotsync. It will not convert anything existing on your computer already. Be sure to do an updated HotSync before activating this switch.
Contacts and Calendar should transfer easily, but I'm not sure about Notes and Tasks. (I don't use Outlook.)

TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there. If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

The bullet list, numbered list and the normal text is not converting when I am converting from RH 9 to MS Word 2010

Hi all,
Greetings for the day
I am created a new CSS in Robohelp 9. I have also created a new template in Word 2010. The style sets for different information elements like (Heading, bullets, body text, ) are more or less same between the CSS and the new templates. I am also able to map the .css styles to Word template when I am converting from RH to Word as I am getting the necessary option in the drop-down list.
However, when the output is generated, the bullet, the numbered list and the body text is not converting at all. The body text works sometimes. However, the numbered list and bullet list is coming out as images.
If anybody knows the solution, I can share the .css and Word template.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Parag Deb

Create a new project with two or three topics containing lists of both types. Generate a printed output that shows the problem. Then zip it up and send it to me. See the Contact page on my site for instructions.

How do I convert from pdf to word? I see an option to do so, however, when I click on it, Ia box opens...

when I try to convert from pdf to word, a box opens and suggests I am to click on (select) the file I want to convert. It sounds all well but it does not work. I really really just want my files back in word, all of them, no matter, because after having to reinstall windows 7 (done by techs) and me having to re-download all my HP drivers, and tools, and other software, which I imagine included adobe reader, now I see some pdf files won't open. It says, "access denied" and boy that really makes me wantt o scream. I am the ONLY user, it is my notebook, I am the administrator so I can't figure out why some files open and some don't. I can't ascertain any difference.
I would be grateful for any help. This has become just too exhausting. After reinstalling sooooooooo much, then to have to go through this with what is a free application? I say I think not.
This should NEVER happen with any free application and boy there is NO help to be found. They blow you off the phone fast telling you it's a free application. Then why are you putting in this kind of stuff that it won't open? This is NOT a shared notebook, it's mine. I am the only user, personal use.
HP probook, if anyone needs that info.
Please, will someone help?
I would be so grateful.
thanks,
Gina

Gee, Pat, this is a real big help.
Nobody could possibly think anyone would ask for help without first trying to fix the issue oneself. Or maybe you do. I have opened the file and looked under security. I have changed it to owner-notebook (which is what the techs called me) and clicked accept but geepers it didn't work.
Maybe someone else has an idea.
Take Ownership of a File or Folder
The above should be a link. At least I copied and pasted the link. I did what was stated in there. It isn't like brain surgery. But it is not working. I ended up being able to open some pdf files after transferring them from one partition category to another. I wish it was that easy as you seem to think.
Thanks for the help. Have a great year.

How do you stop DNG Converter from embedding Adobe's ACR default settings instead of custom settings?

I notice that the new version of Adobe DNG Converter (8.6, and maybe earlier) appears to place Adobe's ACR defaults in the converted file. Thus, the converted files open up in Bridge with an indication that they already have settings made, and, hence, ACR does not apply the custom camera settings. One has to Clear Settings first in Bridge, then open in ACR.
This behavior is new, perhaps to 8.6. But it's presence defeats the purpose of having custom Camera Defaults.
Is there any way to prevent DNG Converter from installing settings?

ssprengel wrote:
What do you mean by “custom camera settings”? Do you mean you’ve changed the Camera Raw defaults for a particular camera and those aren’t being seen until you do a Reset? Or do you mean some sort of Nikon-settings that Adobe never looks at?
Also at what point in the workflow are you converting these files, just after copying them to your hard-disk and before touching them with any other Adobe software, or after they’ve been adjusted in Nikon software, or after they’ve been adjusted in Bridge/ACR, initially as NEFs?
I mean my custom camera defaults that are set by the Save New Camera Defaults for a given camera.
My workflow is to take my original raw files first into Adobe DNG Converter. I then open the folder in Bridge. At this point I notice that my original raw files remain unaltered (there is no "settings" icon in the top right corner – circle with two lines and up-arrows – in the image's thumbnail), but the converted dng's (otherwise untouched and unopened in ACR) have a "settings" icon. When I open the original raw file in ACR, it opens using my custom camera defaults. When I open the otherwise virgin dng in ACR, it opens using the Adobe defaults (the same defaults that would be employed if no custom camera default had been set).
This behavior is new. DNGs formed by earlier versions of the DNG Converter did not apply any settings to the converted file, and when they opened in Bridge, they were given the custom camera settings.
In order to retain the old (and proper) behavior, I now have to take the just-converted documents into Bridge, select them, and immediately apply Develop Settings/Clear Settings. That gets rid of the settings that have been installed by the DNG Converter (as well as the "settings" icon on the thumbnail).
I notice there is a new feature in Adobe DNG Converter 8.6, namely, a panel-specific toggle between the settings and the default settings. This indicates to me the likelihood that Adobe has been making some alterations with the settings that is having unintended consequences. It clearly is not proper for DNG Converter to be adding (installing) settings, because that prevents the custom camera default settings from being applied, and hence defeats the purpose of the custom camera default settings.

Applescript to convert from AW6 spreadsheets to Excel

I have an iMac (iMac12,2) running OS 10.9.1 with applications of Pages’09 (4.3), Pages (5.0.1), Numbers’09 (2.3) and Numbers (3.0.1) available.
One of my laptops is a MBA (MacBookAir1,1) that I have kept at 10.6.8 with applications Appleworks (6.2.2) and Appleworks (6.6.9) available.
Recently, I converted many CWWP documents from AW6 into Pages. This was done on the iMac with an Applescript that copied a file (AnyDocumentCWWP) to the desktop as a file named AWV6, opened AWV6 with Pages’09, saved the result as AWV6.Pages, applied the creation date and modify dates of the original to AWV6.Pages, moved the new AWV6.Pages to the original directory and moved the original file to the trash, renamed AWV6.Pages to the original filename (excluding extension). The Pages version of the original document does not preserve the formatting of the CWWP, but the content was now discoverable with Spotlight. Since I was primarily concerned with the content, I would consider the conversion effort successful enough.
I performed the same sort of process on the iMac with CWSS documents converting from AW6 into Numbers. Here the results were less successful. I discovered that many of the converted spreadsheets had cells where the cell contained the last calculated value in substitute for the formula originally present -or- Numbers was unable to open the CWSS spreadsheet due to size limitations. Neither problem occurs when the file is converted on the MBA by Appleworks into an Excel format. For those CWSS files that did not properly convert to Numbers, I would like to perform a conversion to Excel.
When a given spreadsheet is manually opened on the MBA with either version of Appleworks, one can “Save as” using several formats of Excel. That operation will preserve the formula which cannot be recognized in Numbers’09. An example of this issue is when a spreadsheet has a cell that contains a formula with the function “ISNUMBER”. When I manually open a CWSS in Appleworks (either 6.2 version), I can Save As Excel Win 97 … or Excel Mac 98 … creating an XLS file that preserves the formula.
I have attempted two techniques with Applescript to be able to convert my CWSS documents into XLS format. Neither seem to work.
The first technique is very similar to a few lines extracted from a canned script found on http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=8296 the relevant code is:
set theSprTranslator to "Excel Win 97, 2000, XP 2002 spr"
tell application "System Events" to set mfpath to get path of disk item ("~/desktop/" as string)
set newfile to (mfpath & "AWV6" as string)
set NewFilename to AWV6XLS
tell application "AppleWorks 6"
    activate
    open newFile -- alias reference is ok
    save using translator theSprTranslator with NewFilename and replace
    close front document without saving
end tell
When this did not work, I attempted a scripted GUI solution as a second option. The GUI code I had found at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17348326/applescript-to-save-an-appleworks-do cument-wont-compile-end-tell-vs-end-easy is:
tell application "System Events"
         tell process "AppleWorks"
                 click menu item "Save As…" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
                 click menu button "File Format" of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
                 click menu item "Excel Mac 5 spreadsheet" of menu 1 of menu button "File Format" of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
                 keystroke return
         end tell
end tell
Unfortunately there is no “File Format” menu button, after a bit of further research, I discovered UI Browser and wrote my own Applescript equivalent:
set mytempwork1 to AWV6
set theSprTranslator to “Excel Win 97, 2000, XP 2002 spr”
tell application "Finder" to open file (mytempwork1 as string) of the desktop
tell application "System Events"
    tell process "AppleWorks"
        click menu item "Save As…" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
        tell text field 1 of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
            set value to "XX" & mytempwork1
        end tell
        click pop up button 1 of group 1 of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
        click menu item theSprTranslator
        —click radio button 2 of group 1 of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
        —delay 3
        —click radio button 1 of group 1 of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
    end tell
end tell
tell application "System Events"
    tell process "AppleWorks"
        delay 10 — <<<<<IF YOU CLICK ON THE BUTTON WHILE IN THIS DELAY, THE SCRIPT WILL BEHAVE PROPERLY
        click button "Save" of window "Save : AppleWorks 6"
        delay 1
    end tell
end tell
This GUI script behaves almost as I would like. It seems to ignore the setting of the “pop up button 1” unless I actually intervene while the script is running and I click on the button. When I do so, the script runs as intended.
Is there a way to force Appleworks to recognize the Applescripted value of the “clicked” menu item?

Hello
As far as I know, there's no need to resort to GUI scripting. The problem in exporting in AppleScript is that AppleWorks 6 only accepts typeChar (TEXT) data as translator name while AppleScript string has become always being represented as typeUnicodeText (utxt) since OS X 10.5. This makes passing translator name to save command difficult but there's a workaround method as shown in the sample code below. The |TEXT|() handler does the job. Tested with AppleWorks 6.2.4 under 10.6.8.
main()
on main()
    set export_translator to "Excel Mac 98, 2001 spreadsheet"
        "Excel Mac 5 spreadsheet"
        "Excel Mac 98, 2001 spreadsheet"
        "Excel Win 5 spreadsheet"
        "Excel Win 97, 2000, XP 2002 spr"
    set export_translator_TEXT to my |TEXT|(export_translator)
    set src to (path to desktop)'s POSIX path & "in.cwk"
    set dst to (path to desktop)'s POSIX path & "out.xls"
    set srca to src as POSIX file as alias
    set dsta to touch(dst) as POSIX file as alias
    tell application "AppleWorks 6"
        --return export translators
        open srca
        tell document 1
            if document kind = spreadsheet document then
                save in dsta using translator export_translator_TEXT
            end if
            close saving no
        end tell
    end tell
end main
on touch(f)
    do shell script "touch " & f's quoted form
    return f
end touch
on |TEXT|(u)
        string u : source text
        return data : «data TEXT...» representing u converted to MACROMAN encoding
    do shell script "u=" & u's quoted form & "; printf '%s' \"$u\" | iconv -f UTF-8 -t MACROMAN | xxd -p"
    run (run script "
script
    «data TEXT" & result & "»
end script")
end |TEXT|
Hope this helps,
