Duplicate ical calendar was created wheni upgraded fro OS 10.4 to 10.6.3

i see this is a known problem as shown here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=433932
as in the thread above, it would appear that my 'new' duplicated calendar after the OS upgrade does NOT contain all the calendar events of the original now 'old' calendar. what's the best path to clean this up
i see three options.
ONE:
delete one of the duplicate calendars, (but i wonder if there is some internal link from my entourage software into ical that will now send all calendar events to the newly created 'duplicate' calendar. so if i were to delete this new calendar, where would my sync events go?)
TWO: delete the old (original calendar and 'live with it') and go forward
THREE:
is there a way to merge the two calendars into one, then go back and check for duplicates?

the hits keep on coming.
just this Am during syncing, my address book created over 40,000 no name addresses and then into entourage

and i am getting multiple 'entourage' calendar within ical.
check out my other posting of all the known issues regarding the "upgrade" to 10.6.3

use Disk Utility and Verify Permisions then fix and Verify Disk and fix, this should fix it.

When I try to enter a new calendar entry I get the following message: "This calendar was created by mail, you can't add events to a mail calendar" what does it mean? I never had this message before.

Check which calendar you are trying it put this event on, then put it on the correct one.

When attempting to add a calendar event, I am getting the message "This calendar was created by mail..." Not true! How do I fix this?

When attempting to add a calendar event, I sometimes get a message "This calendar was created by mail, etc." and I am unable to add an event. This is very frustrating. Help!

Reset it by holding the Power and Home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing.

What does it mean: "Calendar was created by Mail"?

I upgraded to the latest version of iCal. Now, when I try to input a new event, I get the message: " Calendar was created by Mail. You can not add an event to a Mail calendar. Does any one know what this means and what I need to do to change it so I can add events to iCal from my computer? By the way, I sync with my iPhone and am able to add events from my Phone which then show up on my calendar on my computer. - James

Greetings James,
This suggests you have a "Read Only" calendar in iCal. Look for a calendar on the left hand side of iCal which you don't recognize and don't use. Once you locate it you can click on it once to highlight it and then go to Edit > Delete.
Cheers.

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting

A .part file was created when I cancelled a download from a "Save As" dialog.

On my Macbook Pro (my OS is OS X 10.6.8), sometimes when I click on a download link, and then click Cancel (meaning I did NOT start the download at all), a .part file appears in my Downloads folder.
However, not all download links cause this problem to happen. Download links for things like MP3s and JPGs rarely cause this to happen, but download links for xls or torrent files will most likely cause this problem.
I've tested it. When I click on a download link for an MP3 file, but didn't click OK or CANCEL, a .part file would appear in my Downloads folder. However, when I hit CANCEL, the .part file goes away.
But when I tried this on a download link for a XLS file, the .part file stays there even after I hit CANCEL. To delete it, I had to drag it to the Trash folder myself and then empty the trash.
So is this a bug? Am I infected with a virus? Does your Mozilla Firefox create a .part file when you click on a download link but not confirm whether you want to download the file? Does the .part file go away after you hit CANCEL?
Thanks in advance.

hello, it's normal that downloads will start loading in the background and that a .part file is created even when you haven't made any choice on the "save as" dialog yet (in order to shorten the download time, it takes afterwards). however, those .part files should get deleted if you cancel the download.
if this isn't happening with all file-types you could try going through some troubleshooting steps related to downloading, which are described here: [[What to do if you can't download or save files]]

IPhone 4S created duplicate Outlook calendar

We have two new iPhone 4S in our organization, which were upgraded from the iPhone 4. So, we have been using iPhones in our Exchange Server environment for a few years and never ran into this problem before. These two iPhone 4S users now have two Outlook calendars! Under Outlook on the computer, when looking at the Calendar's properties, I would expect to see \\username. For the second calendar, I see \\username\Calendar. So it appears that, after the iPhone 4S was connected to the user's mail/calendar/contacts, a sub-calendar was created.
What causes this and what's to be done to fix/prevent it?
Thank you!

Thats your answer then. When you choose to use icloud to sync and backup your data, it will notify you that it will stop automatically syncing with itunes. You then do your itunes syncing manually.

Ical calendar how to embed into webpage

Using iWeb I successfully published my iCal calendar to my website. However suddenly my embedded calendar stopped showing any entries. I understand this is due to the changes in the mobileme calendar. Can I restore the previous very useful facility? Or do I have to switch to Google calendar? It a resource that I found very useful for clients wanting to see when I was available and I am sure many other users use a facility like this. must say that Apple have annoyed me over this. It was not easy finding how to embed the calendar in the first place and now they seem to have downgraded the mobileme calendar. I thought the general trend was to improve applications not the reverse.
Any help would be much appreciated

I don't believe you can restore that capability.
You can add a Google calendar to a web page (it's scaleable whereas the iCal calendar was not) and then sync your iCal calendar to the Google calendar with Google Sync Services. An example is shown on this demo page: Google Calendar.

Receiving "The Itunes Library file cannot be saved. A duplicate file name was specified".

Itunes Version 10.5.3.3
Using Iphone 4 on Windows 7 Proffesional PC.
Keep getting "The Itunes Library file cannot be saved. A duplicate file name was specified" when trying to sync Itunes with Iphone.
Have tried the following steps;
first you have to locate your last library file, you can do this by clicking Edit-preferences-advanced. it will show you the itunes media folder location. then close Itunes
open your folder and locate the last library (libraries are saved with date names, find the most recent one or the one that was last modified).
change the name of the library to today´s date following the format it already has. you will have to change the name for libraries: .itl, .xml, genius and extras.
once you have changed the name to today´s date on the 4 libraries you will have to delete all other libraries existing on the same folder or on a folder named "previous itunes libraries". it is also recommended to delete the itunes "preferences file" .dat (usually 1kb) and the "sentinel" file.
so, you will have on your itunes media folder only 4 libraries: .itl .xml genius and extras.
the next step is to click the itunes icon holding the "shift" key . itunes will ask you to either "quit, choose library or create library" click on choose library. then locate the library you just renamed with today´s date and extension .itl
done, itunes will open with the last saved version of your library. keep in mind that some changes or songs will not be present if you added any while getting the error "itunes cannot save the library file. a duplicate name has been specified" just locate the songs and add them again, if you have the option "copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library" checked. then go to file-add folder or file-and locate the songs missing on the itunes media folder.itunes saves the files on the hard drive but does not save the changes on the library.
No luck.
Any help would be greatly appriciated.

hope this is clear enough.

Multiple workflow columns are creating when the workflow is started

Hi,
I have created the workflow based on "Document" content type and have deployed and associated it to it's children content types(CT1, CT2, CT3), Later i have added documents(Doc1 based on CT1, Doc2 based on CT2, Doc3 based on CT3) in the document
library and run the workflow and they are running fine.
But the problem is that, whenever i run the workflow on the new document which is based on different content type than earlier, then a new "workflow status"column is getting created instead of using the already existing workflow status column.
This behavior is happening only when i tried to associate workflow from code and when i manually associate directly in the site it works fine.
Does anyone know how I would go about this?
Chakradhar

Hi Chakradhar,
According to your description, my understanding is that a same workflow status column was created when running workflow on a new document.
Did you re-publish and re-associate multiple versions of workflow to the content type?
If yes, then multiple workflow status columns would be created on the SharePoint List.
In addition, if we ever delete the workflow association to the content type or list and re-associate later to the content type or list, workflow status columns created by the previous association gets left behind.
I recommend to make sure that the workflow has not been re-published and re-associated.
You can delete the extra Workflow Status Column in the list:

Run big report in PDF hangs though the PDF file was created in server

When running Oracle reports6i big master-details-details report(220 pages) in PDF format thru report server CGI on Netscape Enterprise Web server, it hangs. But the pdf file was created when checking in the server and is good when it's viewed directly using IE. Also checked the http://domain_name:8083/cgi-bin/reportcgi/showjobs?server=repsrv, the Job Status was 'FINISHED'.
The HTTP_error_Log in the server is:
[17/Feb/2004:13:31:42] failure (28995): for host 63.237.37.70 trying to POST /cgi-bin/reportcgi, cgieng_scan_headers reports: the CGI program /usr/netscape/elecprod/cgi-bin/reportcgi did not produce a valid header (read failed, error is Resource temporarily unavailable).
Please help as our users demand it urgently.
Thanks a lot.

1) This bug734197 is fixed in version 3.0.5.13.0, which means it should be available in 6i (the version you are using) also. But from the bug description I see that it is reproduced with Reports 6.0.5.28.0 version also. If your reports 6i version is higher than this, it may contain this fix. Best thing is to apply the latest patch. The patches should be available in metalink (metalink.oracle.com) .
2) For troubleshooting purposes run the report in html/rtf and see whether it times out. ( just to see whether
this is a PDF specific issue)
3) Disable acrobat web integration (in Adobe acrobat settings) and try . This will prevent Acrobat reader from opening the pdf automatically and instead will show a dialog to save the pdf report ( There are some IE - Adobe issues which are not reports bugs).
4) There were some threads some time back which had this problem with long running reports and PDF. Finally it turned out to be webserver timeout problems. Pls see ( this is for 9i servlet and Apache webserver, but for 6i also it could be similar)
Re: Long running reports end successfully - present s "page can not be foun
5) If these does not work and if you are not able to make further progress, I suggest you to get in touch with Oracle Support (if you have a support contract) to solve this issue. [ If the possibility is that the bug you are mentioning is not pushed forward to 6i (a remote chance) then only they will be able to a get a oneoff patch.]
Thanks

Fix for 1013 error when upgrading to 4.2

The link below was actually posted to fix another error, but it worked just fine to fix the 1013 error I was having when upgrading to 4.2.

Do you have iTunes 10.1 on your PC? You need 10.1 in order to install iOS 4.2.1 on your Touch. If you already have 10.1 then maybe temporarily disable any firewall and/or anti-virus software on your computer.

Why, when MobileMe was shuttered, does Apple NOT support calendar subscriptions for iCal (Calendar)? I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot migrate my Dutch, U.K., Islamic, or Catholic holiday subscriptions.

Why, when MobileMe was shuttered, does Apple NOT support calendar subscriptions for iCal (Calendar)?
I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot migrate my Dutch, U.K., Islamic, or Catholic holiday subscriptions. I had a heck of a time getting my Detroit Tigers Baseball team schedules migrated (but Major League Baseball supported the subscriptions, so it occurred). As I work internationally, having these calendar subscriptions on the new Calendar would be very useful.
If one goes to the Apple site, and seeks calendars [http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/index1.html], they are shunted to MobileMe [https://www.icloud.com/mobileme/not_found/], with the note "MobileMe is closed. Go to iCloud." But, I do not see how to get subscriptions from iCloud.
Thanks.

The problem is that many of these calendars were hosted on MobileMe. I actually tried about 20 at random, and only two worked! Not all of the failures were ex-MobileMe, some were on other servers but produced 'File Not Found'.
Strangely, this one worked despite its URL:
http://ical.mac.com/ical/UK32Holidays.ics
Until the people who publish these calendars (it's not Apple, they are third-party) wake up and find alternative servers these calendars are not available.
There may be other sources which work - try Googling.
