Disallow app access to Calendar and Contacts by app in Profile Manager
Is there a method to disallow app access to Calendar and Contacts by app within a profile and push that out via Profile Manager?
I'm aware that you can do this on the device itself but I'd like to enforce policy.
I'm guessing I'd need a custom profile.
Thanks
Tim
Create a profile that contains an Restrictions profile and add thoase apps to the list of app you want to restrict.

We recently updated to CU8. I went to test out the new Public Folder access to calendars and contacts. I first go to Calendars in OWA and I see a list of several calendars. I see one that is listed twice, one I can open and the other states "Couldn't
open calendar - A connection couldn't be made with the shared calendar. Remove the calendar and try to add it again, or ask the owner to share it again." I also see other calendar's that we used in the past but no longer reside under public folders.
I get the same error on them.
For People, I can go there and I see a section called "Public Folder" and there is a contact list called "IT Team Contacts". When I click on it, it states in the middle pane "Your request can't be completed right now.
Please try again later." This contact list is not on our public folders.
Any ideas on why we I'm seeing these issues?
Thanks,
Jeff DaileySeems like some orphaned PF favorites. You should be able to remove them from Outlook, or via MFCMAPI

Not possible to access calendar and contacts hosted on OS 10.8 server
On OS 10.8 server, /var/log/caldavd/error.log says:
2012-08-06 21:06:03+0200 [-] [caldav-3] [PooledMemCacheProtocol,client] [twext.web2.dav.method.propfind#error] File not found: <RootResource: /Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/Data/Documents/calendar/dav/"user"/user>
I do see
/Library/Server/Calendar\ and\ Contacts/Data
but it is locked for me as user.
- Owner is `_calendar` (93)
- Group is `_calendar` (93)
and it's read, write and execute for owner and group (750)
Are these the right settings?
After upgrading to 10.8 server from 10.7 server I could not access my calendar and contacts data anymore, and I looked into the above described log.
When I am trying to access a calendar from a client via System Settings -- Mail, Contacts & Calendars I get this error:
A secure connection couldn't be established. Click "Continue" to continue creating the account
However, it won't access neither calendars nor contacts.
Or are the permissions not the issue, but something else?This could very well be. There are two things:
1) where would I set "network users"? Is this related to Open Directory? Or to Profile Manager? I enabled both. I looked more closely into the log file. Previously I had the following two lines occurring every time I logged in, they don't occurr anymore.
2012-08-07 08:06:48+0200 [-] [caldav-6] [PooledMemCacheProtocol,client] [twistedcaldav.directory.appleopendirectory.OpenDirectoryService#error] Duplicate: "User"
2012-08-07 08:06:48+0200 [-] [caldav-6] [PooledMemCacheProtocol,client] [twistedcaldav.directory.appleopendirectory.OpenDirectoryService#error] Duplicate: "User"
2) The previously mentioned error
2012-08-07 08:15:24+0200 [-] [caldav-0] [PooledMemCacheProtocol,client] [twext.web2.dav.method.propfind#error] File not found: <RootResource: /Library/Server/Calendar and Contacts/Data/Documents/calendar/dav/"User"/user>
still remains.
Again, I'd be grateful for further pointers! -

I use Touchdown from Nitodesk for my work email. Its a little pricey, but it works with your companys OWA (Outlook Web Access) portal. They do have a 30 day trial that they insist that you try to make sure it will work for you before you shell out any money for the app. It syncs the Calendar, notes, tasks, emails etc.
It has a discovery feature that it will figure out what it needs to configure. All you need to provide is how you log into OWA (Username/password, website) and the program does the rest. It works very well for me.
No I am not employed by Nitrodesk. I only use the program. There was no need to ask my IT people to set anything up for me.
Give it a try, it might work as well for you too.
One day I will have to give this app a try, I am just use to configuring my device to sync without a 3rd party app but I have heard that Touchdown seems to be the best thing going to setup a corp sync process.. -
I have an imac, and ipad, and now an iphone. I also have my own itunes account. My husband has an itunes account as well for his ipad. Since he has spent more money on apps, music, etc, I'd like to switch my devices to use his account, even if it means losing the few apps or songs that I bought on my account. If I do this, will I still be able to have my own calendar and contacts?
No need to switch. You can use both his apps, music, etc. and yours.

New iPad Calendar app and E-mail, Calendar and Contacts setting crashes
The Calendar app has just started to crash. I cannot open the app at all, not even after forced quit. Tried to remove the calendar in the Settings app, but noticed that the E-mail, Calendar and Contacts section also hangs. What to do? It works fine my iPhone.
Thankful for any help.
Regards
SamI agree this is most needed, but also for the iPhone & iPod touch devices. They should also allow changing what day is the start of the week (instead of being stuck with Sunday). iCal actually allows you to have the week view scroll by day, so you are always looking at the next 7 days, versus some dates in the past.

I have a new computer. I've installed iTunes. I don't want to lose the calendar and contact data nor the apps currently on my iPod Touch. Will that happen when I sync?
I don't think so. When you open iTunes, go to "Store" on the top and click "Authorize this Computer." Type in your email and pass, and click authorize. Then, when you connect you iPod for the first time, it should tell you "this iPod is synced with another computer, blah blah." It should give you the option to either "Erase and Sync," or "Transfer Purchases." Click "Transfer Purchases and your content should go into your new iTunes.
If this doesn't work and you still have your old computer there's another thing you can do. I know this works on windows, but I'm not sure how to do it on a Mac, maybe someone can offer some help. Assuming you have Windows, go to Start>Music>iTunes Media and you should see Music, Apps, Movies, etc. This is all the stuff in your iTunes. If you have an external hard drive or your iTunes library is small in terms of file size, you can do this in one go. Transfer the content (as much as you can fit at one time) onto the external storage. Then, put that content on your new computer on the desktop or somewhere where you can find it again. Open iTunes, and folder by folder highlight everything in the folder and drag it into the iTunes library. It should say "importing (content)" or something and then it should be in your library. If you look in your Music folder again, there should now be another "iTunes" folder there with all of your content back in it.
Hope one if these options works for you. Best of luck! -
Does turning off push in Mail, Calendar and Contacts affect only mail or all apps as well?
Hey guys. I'm trying to save some battery in my iPhone here. So, when you turn off push in Mail, Calendar and Contacts, does it turn it off for mail only or for all apps? Thanks!
I keep push for everything off. Just don't need/want "instant gratification" .

Calendar and Contacts just stopped working
I have an odd issue creep up that Apple Enterprise support and I cannot seem to remedy, I am hopeful someone here might give me some insight.
Mac Mini Server, Running OS X Server 10.8.4.
A few users (no Open Directory)
Each user has their own contacts and calendars.
Each user can enter user and password to see server shares
As of yesterday each users account on their client Macs cannot access either contacts or calendars, the server keeps asking for the password within both calendar and contact apps, entering in the correct password still yields the error.
I have tried:
-resetting the password
-logging that user in directly to use the server be sure they can login, they can.
-resetting the password with must reset password upon next login checked
-reset all the services
-reset the databse for contacts and calendars via terminal
-removed keys from keychain
-looked at console and found errors, but they don't point to much
-restored the entire server from a TM backup when I know all was working fine. Did that and then accounts that were working no longer work, so it became worse
-apple is stumped, therefore I am starting phase 3 of digging deeper
Their suggestion at this point is a clean install of the OS which is a large undertaking and does not provide comfort as I am not sure what started this issue to begin with therefore it could come up again.
Any one out there with any ideas? I can provide more information if needed.jakekub wrote:
Yes indeed will do that. Another item I found curious is some accounts I deleted and tried to create them again but got an error stating that I could not create that account because there was another one with that name. I checked this in terminal as well but even there the account could not be found.
This am I restored from a TM backup from July 1st and things are smooth. Apple Eng suggested instead of putting the same calendar and contact account on each client Mac so that multiple users have the same calendar and contacts accounts in order to read and write to those, instead use delegation for multiple calendars and contacts. The PostgreSQL will work more effieciently with delegation.
Any experience with this?
I had a situation very similar to yours some two years ago (Server 10.6). Happened out of the blue as I was finishing setting up the server. All of a sudden the calendar and contacts stopped working. In their situation we had one account used just for calendar and contact. Separate credentials for shares etc, and no OD. I basically did everything you mentioned in the OP several times, hours on the phone w/ Enterprise Support. Even escallated to Engineering but nothing worked. Ended up doing a nuke and pave.
On the delegation versus adding each account thing. I've done both ways and never had any problems. In fact my production server has half a dozen separate accounts for major customers of mine. The only problem I have had is with my iPhone. For some reason it randomly stops updating an account so I have to remove and re-add the account. Does not happen on my iPad though. -
Using iCloud (for calendar and contacts) AND MobileMe for Keychain
Does anyone who's migrated to iCloud know if it's possible to sync Address Book and Calendar through iCloud and the Keychain through MobileMe (on a separate account)?
Situation is as follows:
I have two accounts - one MobileMe (which I use today for calendar and contact syncing) and an Apple ID (which I used for iTunes)
I wish to convert the iTunes account to an iCloud account
That leaves me with my un-converted MobileMe which I'd like to continue to use for Keychain syncing until Apple puts that functionality in iCloud or they retire MobileMe.
I guess - the nub of the question is - is it still possible to access the MobileMe preference pane and put in a different account when iCloud is up and syncing?
Thanks in advance, Jonathan.SaltSeaShark,
I've looked at the iDisk and there's no way to do it automatically. However when you're back at your home iMac, you can copy the files that you find in ~/Library/Keychains onto your iDisk. Then when you're at your friend's iMac, you can copy the *.keychain files in your iDisk to the ~/Library/Keychain folder on your friend's machine (in the account that you're using).
That way - you can open your keychain locally - although it won't sync backwards and forwards. An alternative is to use a third-party product such as 1Password - of which there's an iPad app - as well as a web interface (when combined with Dropbox).
Hope that helps - Jonathan. -
Droid X compatibility with MS Outlook e-mail, calendar, and contacts?
Hey all,
I originally got into the Smart phone world with a Palm and have to admit that I loved the fact that i was able to stay 100% in wireless sync with my work e-mails, schedule, and contacts on Outlook. If I added an appointment to my calendar on my palm and came back to my PC thirty minutes later it would be on my PC Outlook schedule too. I did not have to plug it in to sync it or anything. The IT guy at our plant set it up and did a great job. My plant had to let him go during the slow economy times a few years back and my latest phone (the original Blackberry Storm) has been a huge let down. It will give me my e-mails via the internet and will sync with outlook calendar and contacts if I plug it in but it cannot sync those items without a hard wire (unless of course I just did not know how to make it work). I am decently tech savy but not to this degree....
I am elgible for a new phone in the next few weeks and my son has the new Droid X and I love a great deal of things about it, but I wanted to check in to see how friendly it sync's with MS Outlook if anyone out there who uses Outlook a ton at work could give me an update I would appreciate it. I guess I do not anticipate it will work as flawlessly as the Palm but do not want to walk into a phone which is even more difficult to sync with Outlook then the storm. Thanks for any feedback and suggestions you can give me.
Thanks for any comments, suggestions, or just feedback

Setting up an account for Windows Live Mail, Calendar and Contacts
Hey guys,
Very recently my university mail changed from the regular webmail to Windows Live.
The question is :
How do I set up an account for emails, calendars and contacts in my mail.app?
Also do I have to use entourage for this purpose or will the mail app be able to figure it all?
ThanksYou will need your email server addresses for the incoming and outgoing mail servers, your email username and password, and whether you need to use login security, POP or IMAP or Exchange account type, and any relevant port numbers. Then for Mail it's simply creating a new mail account and providing the above information where requested or needed. For assistance with the use of Mail select Mail Help from Mail's Help menu and search for relevant keywords. Same with iCal. In iCal Preferences click on the Accounts icon to configure an Exchange account.
My guess is that if you ask at computer services at your university they can provide the web page at which you will find configuration instructions for using different email clients.
I am not at all familiar with Windows Live but it appears that it may be a browser based information system meaning you may not be able to access it from Mail or iCal. Again discuss this with the IT people at your university. -

Yes but my point is that the device may not be able to connect to the internet for a period of time. Thus all devices will have different data on them.
So you are constantly (multiple times per hour/day) changing contacts/calendars on different devices with no internet around?
The data gets sync'd only when it changes.
So you are out in the field with no internet.
You make a change on your iPhone. It doens't get sync'd to your computer.
Who cares,? Yo have the data on your phone and you don't have your computer.
Now you drive back to town. When you get a data connection, everything sync's up.
why remove the functionality to sync everything else at the same time, should the user choose or need to do so.
The Sync Services functionality was removed from the OS, so there is nothing for iTunes to use.
It still works in Windows. -
Blocking users from syncing calendars and contacts from itunes
Is there a way to block users from syncing the corporate GAL and their Outlook calendars from their company computer?
Thanks for the answer Simon. That seems simple enough but there are some things which aren't clear.
If I create accounts on the server for the users independently (ie not ownership of the home folder) they're going to have different UID's. Surely this means that even with the same account name and password, they're going to be treated as unique users. Does that not affect who has write access? I don't know how the Calendar and Contact servers work so this may be irrelevant.
How do you "have the server host their calendar and contact details"? Copying the files for the existing local users to the new users on the server will leave them with invalid permissions.
I have read that using the Calendar and Contact components of Server.app is not a supported way of syncing across machines and that they're intended to be used for shared information rather than syncing. But maybe there is no way to avoid an "unsupported method" without moving the home folder. Is this a method you're using?
I'll do a bit of testing with this but would also be grateful for any additional hints.
