Deleting orphaned alarm

I have been using a Nokia N97 for the past two years, and it has recently started sounding an alarm at the same time every night. There is no dialogue box to delete the alarm, and no alarms are set for that time in either the clock or calendar applications.
I have tried resetting the phone time to a different time, but the alarm still sounds at the same actual time each night. That suggests the alarm is initiated by a network command or setting, as network time is used not the reset phone time.
I have also tried a full hard reset on the N97, and reformatted the mass storage. Any applications used were downloaded again from Ovi store or the supplier so that I did not risk reimporting the alarm.
Two weeks ago I upgraded to the E7. The alarm has "jumped" from the N97 to the E7, so presumably is associated with my number not with the handset. Alternatively it is in synchronised calendar or ToDo entries, as I synchronise to MS Outlook using MfE, however I can see no obvious entries, and there is no equivalent alarm sounding on my laptop at that time.
Initially the same SIM card was used, but that has now been upgraded by the network operator. The alarm still sounds. I have also tried turning the phone off just before the usual time, but the alarm still sounds (as is the case for scheduled alarms).
At the network operator's suggestion I also tried removing the SIM card while leaving the phone on. Alarm still sounds, so it is clearly not a SIM card problem.
I understand from discussion on another forum that it is possible to reset all alarms by deleting the alarmserver.ini file which controls all alarms; the file is then rebuilt when the phone restarts. This file is presumably in the Private folder however as it cannot be found using file manager applications.
I am reluctant to reset a new phone, then having to restore all settings. The fact that this did not work on the N97 also suggests this is unlikely to cure the problem. The network techs are looking at this, but if anyone has any suggestions, or can provide advice on deleting the alarmserver.ini file, it would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Many thanks for the suggestion. There are a couple of old phones around so I'll charge them up and try switching the SIM.
One of the frustrations is that the "alarm" seems to be on a 24 hour repeat cycle, driven from the network clock not the handset clock (or perhaps the internal system clock), so changing the time and date does not work. This also means I have to wait 24 hours each time to try each new solution.
Also, I have now discovered that setting the phone profile to "Silent" also does not work - the alarm still sounds at the scheduled time. Since it also sounds when the phone is turned off, and when the SIM is removed, but the phone is left on, I actually have no way of suppressing the alarm during (for example) a meeting or a flight. The only option is to bury the phone deeply in my bag to muffle the sound.
So, still looking for suggestions, before I approach the network (where I bought the phone) to swap for a new untainted one.

Alarm notification comes up every day even though I deleted the alarm

I use my iPhone 4 as an alarm clock in the morning. I use the built-in alarm clock app instead of a nother because it seems to deal best wtih ignoring the silent switch, so I'm more likely to wake up.
My schedule changed, so I disabled an alarm and created another. However, I still get notifications from the disabled alarm. I even tried deleting the alarm, and I still get the notification dialog box (NOTE the alarm doesn't sound, I just get the system modal dialog box) every day. What's worse, the notification comes up 5 or 6 times every morning! The same notification for the alarm I already deleted.
I went to the genius bar today, and the guy said I need to completely wipe my phone without restoring my data!!!!! Seriously? Lose all my contacts, calendars, databases, etc and havey to re-enter them?? Really?
Ther'es got to be another solution. I thought push notifications come from Apple, and aren't even triggered by the device anyway. If that's the case the problem may be more on Apple's side than mine.
Thoughts? Thanks.

I am wondering what you mean with the disk image that you mention and if that could cause the large backup size, especially if it is not a sparsebundle type image.
If you already have a separate partition on your HD, I would have moved the "iPhoto Library" file from your account's Pictures folder to that partition.
Then you would need to create a symbolic link (not an Alias) from there back to the Picture folders of the accounts that you want to share your iPhoto library with. You will of course also modify the access rights to allow the other account(s) to write to the library file.
I followed a slightly different approach on my Mac, where the "iPhoto Library" now is in the Shared Users folder (/Macintosh HD/Users/Shared) and I linked it back into my and another account via the Terminal app (e.g. "ln -s /Macintosh HD/Users/Shared/iPhoto Library /Macintosh HD/Users/me/Pictures").
The iPhoto automatically recognizes the library without any changes and you could read from and write to that library from multiple accounts.
This works perfectly fine for me and I never had trouble with large backups or corrupt data (at least not yet ;-).

How to delete the alarm "Certificate is near expiration" on multiple WAEs using WAAS CM

Hi,
We are getting "Certificate is near expiration" alarm on more than 200 WAEs . Instead of deleting the expired certificates manually from each device,
how to delete this alarms/certificates on all the devices from WAAS CM ?
Please advice..
Regards,
Ameen.

Ameen,
I believe there is script that you could use to address this issue on multiple devices at once.
Please open a TAC case so that TAC Engineer would assist with this.
For a single WAE, it is documented here.

Deleting orphaned FIM MA CS objects

Has anyone ever found that they needed to do this, but couldn't afford to delete the entire FIM MA CS to achieve this outcome?
In my case I have a sync design which imports entitlement objects from two separate HR sources into FIM, but had the object deletion and FIM MA deprovisioning rules set incorrectly resulting in orphaned objects in the FIM MA when the source (projecting) MA
object was deleted. I have since corrected the rules, but had a few hundred bogus entitlement objects to delete out of FIM ... and wasn't prepared to work through the FIM Metaverse and manually disconnect each one ... and with no guarantee that I had
solved my design problem yet, there was a chance they would come back again anyhow.
So I needed to come up with a clever way of deleting these, and resorted to an old fashioned provisioning MVExtension to achieve this. Here is the code snippet for my Provision method:
void IMVSynchronization.Provision (MVEntry mventry)
// disconnect any orphaned entitlements (this should be unnecessary
if we can work out what is generating them)
if (mventry.ObjectType.Equals(Properties.Settings.Default.EntitlementMVObjectName)
&& mventry.ConnectedMAs.Count.Equals(1))
ConnectedMA fimMA = mventry.ConnectedMAs[Properties.Settings.Default.FIMMAName];
if (fimMA.Connectors.Count.Equals(1))
mventry.ConnectedMAs.DeprovisionAll();
What I want to know is how others have approached this problem themselves. I don't know if I really want to leave my MVExtension wired up forever, and am thinking there's probably a better way. I can already hear Carol asking "why wouldn't you just
use a PowerShell script?", and I can see how I might be able to copy the table results of an MV query from the Identity Manager into the clipboard, and paste it into a CSV, then process the CSV ... but there may not always be an easy way of identifying these
objects with such a query (although there probably is!).
Any other ideas people?
Thanks.
Bob Bradley (FIMBob @ http://thefimteam.com/) ... now using Event Broker 3.0 @ http://www.fimeventbroker.com/ for just-in-time delivery of FIM 2010 policy via the sync engine

I accidently provisioned a few hundred objects into the FIM connector space, however they were never actually provisioned to the FIM portal due to attribute violation. Long story short, these objects had nothing to match on aside from their guid. So
what I did was:
Use PowerShell to find the CS DN of each orphaned object (link)
Correlate these DNs to MV IDs
Export the MV IDs to a csv file
Create a tab-delimited MA, with a simple join rule - to join on this MV ID
Configure deletion rule to delete MV object when <new MA> object was deleted
Run a full import and sync (this joins to all the orphaned objects)
Delete the <new MA> CS and then the MA itself. This removes the orphaned objects per the deletion rule in #5.
sample code:
#Import the FimSyncPowerShellModule Module
ipmo FimSyncPowerShellModule
$maNAME = 'Contoso FIMMA'
#Get the last export run
$LastExportRun = (Get-MIIS_RunHistory -MaName $maNAME -RunProfile 'Export')[0]
#Get error objects from last export run (adjust your filter as needed...)
$errorObjects = $LastExportRun | Get-RunHistoryDetailErrors | ? {($_.dn -ne $null) -and ($_.ErrorType -eq 'failed-creation-via-web-services')}
#Build the custom Output Object
$outputFile = @()
$errorObjects | % {
$TmpCSObject = Get-MIIS_CSObject -ManagementAgent $maNAME -DN $_.DN
[xml]$UserXML = $TmpCSObject.UnappliedExportHologram
$MyObject = New-Object PSObject -Property @{
MVObjectID = (Select-Xml -Xml $UserXML -XPath "/entry/attr" | select -expand node | ? {$_.name -eq 'MVObjectID'}).value
$outputFile += $MyObject
#Output to file
$outputFile | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation $env:USERPROFILE\desktop\Deletions.csv

How to delete ical alarms

I wish to delete several alarms that have been setup. Can this be done? If so, how?

fredericlang,
Follow the procedures list in...How to reset .Mac Sync: If your .Mac Sync begins to behave oddly, resetting the sync is a good troubleshooting step. It's essentially a "do-over," in case the computer got confused.
If you are going to reset the sync data, make sure to reset it from the computer that has the most up-to-date information on it. If you sync between computers with different versions of Mac OS X, try to reset the sync data from the computer with Mac OS X 10.4, if possible. Here's how to reset .Mac Sync....;~)

Cant delete orphaned content type, it says : "The content type is part of an application feature."

I created site from existing site template that previous vendor working with company created. I could figure that they saved site as template and when you do that sharepoint creates sandboxed solution. When I create site based on that template, it adds orphaned
content type and when I try to delete it, it gives error : "The content type is part of an application feature.".
I looked on internet but solutions dont seem to fit in my scenario.
Following are possible solutions I read on net.
1) Deactivate feature that has content type and all dependencies for content type and then delete content type --- In my case there is no feature in feature galary that you can deactivate as it is part of site template.
2)Get the WSP and edit in visual studio, I am working on client machine and I do not have access to sharepoint server. When I try to create new visual studio project with "Import sharepoint solution package", it says Sharepoint server is not installed
on this computer. I tried to get Microsoft.Sharepoint dll from Microsoft virtual lab but I can only work on web client and windows client doesnt work. Web client is not letting me copy files into my local desktop.
Any suggestions ? I just need to take that content type out and generate WSP and upload it back

Below is how I recreated problem , my findings and solution to this problem (Everything is done through Sharepoint UI)
Problem :
Create site and create custom content type using sharepoint UI.
Save site as template.
Use above template to create new site.
New site contains orphaned content type, when you try to delete that unnecessary content type sharepoint gives error: The content type is part of an application feature. Sharepoint will not let you delete this content type.
Delete original site from which template was created.
Findings:
When you save site as template, sharepoint creates and activates Sandboxed solution in solution gallery of Root Site.
Sandbox solution has same name that you gave when saving site as template.
Activation of Sandboxed solution adds feature having name of original site from which template was created, and this is Site Collection Feature. I could not find any site feature for it and also I could not find any site feature for custom content type
as well. I think when you create content type through Sharepoint UI, it doesnt create site feature for that.
Deactivating site collection feature for that site template doesn't let you delete that orphaned content type from newly created site.
Solution:
If you deactivate Sandboxed solution from Solutions gallery, it will remove corresponding site collection feature as well as that orphaned content type from site. Reactivating that solution doesn't add orphaned content type back to newly created site.
Above process only deletes orphaned content type from newly created existing site but you will have same problem when you create more new sites from that site template.
I would say once your problem is fixed with deleting content type, solution is to replace site template. In this way newly created sites wont have same problem again.

How do I delete an alarm?

I've tried to look up how to delete an alarm on an iPod, but they were all showing me the simple way of doing so (when your iPod actaully works). When I go to clock and choose alarm, no alarms show up, but I have 2 set. How do I delete these when they don't show up as options?

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost./
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore the iPod.

Yes, it's valid in OS X.

How can I delete orphan files from my itunes library all at once?

My itunes library has 0ver 200k files and about 30,000 were on an external drive that crashed leaving me with 30,000 orphan files that I want to delete from the library. Too many to delete one by one, how can I either sort them by this field to select all with shift click or is there a script to delete them?

AAC is Advanced Audio Coding. Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD). More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder). Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button. Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder. After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version." You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding. Hopefully your phone will play that.

How to delete orphaned events in Calendar?

OK, so I'm pulling my hair out on this one: I discovered today that my wife's birthday anniversary event got duplicated 3369 times in my iPad calendar...
I'm grateful for the reminder, but 3369 times is a bit too much.
Ruling out my wife's unlikely hacking of my calendar, the culprit is probably an automatic sync with my Google calendar gone awry. Lesson learned, don't sync with Google calendar, fine, but these events cause the loading of the calendar to be super slow and I don't want to imagine what's going to happen in 10 days when the reminders for these events are going to be shown...
So how to I remove these events from my Calendar?
Going through them one by one is not an option, and anyhow, I have tried to delete one, it won't go away.
Delete the calendar they belong to? Great idea, except they don't belong to any calendar, despite what Calendar tells me in the detail of one event. Which is probably the reason why I can't delete them manually in the first place. I have verified this by writing a small app that finds those event in the calendar: the calendar property of the EKEvent is nil.
I have tried to delete them in my app ([store removeEvent:event span:EKSpanThisEvent commit:YES error:&error]), I get this error:
Failed to remove: Error Domain=EKErrorDomain Code=1 "No calendar has been set."
(Note that I did call [store requestAccessToEntityType: completion:] to authorize my app to modify the calendar).
I figured it had something to do with the event not being in a calendar, so I have tried to assign them to a calendar in my app, it doesn't work, they remain orphaned.
I have disabled sync with Google and iCloud.
I have tried to delete my iCloud account on the iPad: I get an endless spinning wheel that forces me to kill the Calendar app.
The only thing I haven't tried yet is restoring my device, but then, what if the backup contains those events?
An idea? Anybody?
Thanks

goto calendar> look for the event you entered> edit event (upper rt corner)> scroll down> Delete event

/SAPAPO/SDORDER_DEL
/SAPAPO/AC06
But still cant delete .
Cannot see those order also in reconciliation .
Can anyone tell me how can i get rid of those orders ??
Will appreciate your responce .
Nitesh

Hi
You could try running the livecache consistency checks in /sapapo/om17
If that fails to work, then try /SAPAPO/SDRQCR21 which may help sort out the issue.
If that fails then there is a SAP Note that may help, but requires livecache to be taken down whilst this report runs. It is all explained in the note:
[Note 792286 - Repairing/activating ATP time series|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=792286]
