Easily identify Exchange Invites?

I have switched over to using Mail in Snow Leopard with my companies Exchange 2007 server from Entourage. Overall I am MUCH happier, but there are a few things I am still trying to work out. One of them is how to easily identify meeting invites.
When scanning my inbox, it is not obvious what things are invites. They look just like any other incoming message. If you click on it, the preview pane shows the invite info with the buttons, but I tend to get a lot of email and it can take a little time to get through them all, so I need a way to be able to identify an invite when it comes in. In Entourage there was an icon or something.
I looked at rules but there doesn't seem to be a way to identify just a meeting invite so I am at a loss on how I might do this. I searched for plug ins and such and still can't find anything. Does anyone know of a way I might be able to color code or something any meeting invite so I can find them faster (and not miss any more meetings!)?
Thanks.

Just be aware of some limitations and potentials pitfalls of the scripted approach:
1) Scalability & Performance - dependant on how many alerts you have \ how often they are updated \ how many other scripts you might have running on the RMS e.g. for updating other custom fields for linking into ticketing systems.
2) Not all monitors auto-resolve. Some are timed reset monitors and, more pertinantly, others are manual reset monitors. So just knowing whether an alert has been generated by a monitor is not sufficient. Sadly, the way security works within SCOM (ie without
any great granularity), a standard operator cannot view the authoring tab to find out what sort of monitor has raised the alert (even in the alert details, the alert rule \ monitor name is no longer a link to the underlying rule \ monitor.
3) SCOM doesn't always auto-resolve monitors. This depends on the environment but I have found that in larger environments where the RMS has performance issues that monitors don't always auto-resolve correctly. In those circumstances you can't rely totally
on the alert in the console. You need to right click the alert and view the health explorer to see if the underlying health of the monitor is still unhealthy or not
If you do decide this approach then Steve Rachui has a blog about how to implement updating custom fields here:

I have uploaded photos from the past and they are grouped by dates. How do I seperate those photos into their own folder/album so that I can easily identify the contents. Also, what is the difference between Album, Smart Album and folders?

I have uploaded photos from the past and they are automatically arranged by date. As a result, there are many events grouped into one library/event/folder/album (not sure of the proper terminology) I'd like to separate them into folders/albums/smart albums so that I can easily identify the contents. How do I do that and do I delete the originals?

It would be good to take the tutorials and learn iPhoto - these are for the previous version but the concepts are the same and much of the command is the same - and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration. - also the tutorials in iPhoto Help will be helpful - while iPhoto is easy and intuitive it does have a learning curve and it will save you time and pain if you spend a few minutes learning the basics
as to organization - events are generally time based and are the basic automatic organization - you can merge and split them to make them work better for you but they are not a good way to do detailed organization - best to leave them time based
albums are logical things that contain photos and are just pointers to the photo in the event so they take no extra space and all changes to a photo anywhere are reflected everywhere
Smart albums are the same except they are automatically filled based on the criteria you set when you create them
Folders are containers that you create and a folder can contain albums, smart albums or other folders so they are a big help in organization - like a vacation folder that holds folders for France, USA, China with each of thos folders holding albums of photos from the country

Exchange invitations in iCal

I recently updated to Lion and somehting strange has happened with my email.
I work in a company that has runs exchange server. I used to receive meeting invitations including details about meeting time as well as dial in information and PIN codes for conference calls. I would either "Accept" or "Decline" to join a meeting and if I accepted, then the meeting details wouls automatically show up in iCal. In addition to that, those same details would also show up on my iPhone.
Right around the time I upgraded to Lion and set up iCloud, something strange has happened. I still receive invitations to meeting from my colleagues but now when I accept the invitiation, the event does not show up in iCal and the details are completely lost.
Needless to say I have been missing a lot of meeting lately!!!! Doh!!! Maybe this is a feature?
Suggestions?
Thanks, in advance for assistance.
John

Exchange invite is not appearing in email (using mail)

Hi,
I am using Mail under Tiger for my email system. I have just been sent an ics invite email from the office exchange server, however mail is not showing me the attachement, so I cannot add it to iCal. If I look at the raw message I can see the ics attachement, but for some reason mail isn't picking it up!
I have mail set to not automatically add invites to iCal, although setting it to automatic doesn't make a difference. As far as I am aware this invite was sent directly from the exchange server.
any help ?

same is happening with me. my girlfriend sent me a few invites for events she has in her outlook calender at work in exactly the same way she has always done. I had the option to accept the events before, now it just shows the text part of the mime message (again I can see the ics in the raw message) in Mail and does not create a new event in iCal. I have turned the option in the mail general prefs on and off again to no avail, could it be that I have multiple calanders and there is no option in Mail to choose qwhich calaender the mail events go to? I dont really want to trash my mail prefs unless absolutely necessary

Can I turn off automatic reply for exchange invitations?

Hi all,
just a quick question: I just bought an iPhone 5 for work, i'm very happy with my choice and really like iOs but there's something that bugs me, I searched the web and found nothing.
So I setup my exchange e-mail account wich works perfectly fine, but it seems that everytime I accept or decline an invitation from my phone the phone itself automatically sends the answer to whoever has invited me wich isn't actually so bad, but i would prefer to choose that for myself. Can I go in the settings and change something there to avoid this issue?
please let me know
Thanks in advance
Ben

It's the new Teac HD-radio ipod charger that you can buy at Costco for $100.
I also have the same problem when I plug in my Ipod on my Alpine Stereo...the same music always start up on the plug-in. So I'm guessing this happens on many divices. Any way to keep the music from starting up on start-up.
Thanks again for taking time to read and hopefully respond!

How can easily identify duplicate photos in a I photo album?

I have an I photo album containing a large number of photos. Is there a easy way to identify if there are duplicate photos that I have moved into the album?

The only way to determine if there are duplicates is to search the entire library for duplicates with one of these applications to identify and remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when one library has been imported into another with iPhoto 8 and earlier.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find dupicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.

Smart Folder or Search for Exchange Invites in Mail

Hi,
I'm using MAC Mail with the MS Exchange Server at work.
I was looking for a way to quickly search or create a smart folder to group all of these items in Mail.
Is this possible? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Frank

I had the same problem appear when I added a second exchange account into mac mail. I wanted my Sent email to pull from my primary email account. I deleted my primary account and re-added it. When it pulled all the messages in again, my Sent folder items came back.

I have 1661 songs in laptop iTunes but only 1660 on iPhone after syncing. How can I easily identify the song that did not sync?

Is there an easy way to identify which song did not sync correctly?
I have performed a sync three times and problem remains.
Thank you.

One thing that comes to mind would be if you have a music video and your iPhone isn't setup to sync videos.
You also may have one streaming item in your library that would not be synced to your iPhone.
You can try making a smart playlist where Media Kind is Music Video, or Kind contains Stream.
There are a few other instances where this might happen, but I would start by looking for these.

How to make exchange invites not delete when declined

Hello everyone. I still like to see the meetings I declined on my calendar - I heard there's a way to make them gray out or have a strike through. I don't want declined invites to delete off the calendar. How can I do this?

Any update on this??

How can I easily identify songs Not in a playlist (I have about 10k tunes, so doing 'show in playlist' that many times is not practical). Any help appreciated.

I'm trying to tidy up my itunes playlists and it would be helpful to be able to separate out all the items that AREN'T in any playlist. I can do this by looking at files individually, but it would be good to be able to list them all out or sort them in bulk - does anyone have a good algorithm for a smart playlist that would do this? I have about 250 playlists at present,
thanks for thinking about this,
Andrew

Make a master playlist folder, e.g. All Playlists. Move the playlists that count inside it. Make a smart playlist outside of the master playlist matching all the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not All Playlists. Anything in this list isn't in any of the lists inside All Playlists. Adapt to suit...

Easily identify whether alert is from an Alert Rule or Alert Monitor?

HI everyone,
In the "Active Alerts" view, is it possible to see which alerts are generated from a rule and which are generated from a monitor? The goal is to be able to quickly determine which alerts are from rules and could be quickly closed vs. which alerts are
from monitors that will automatically close when the state returns to normal (and shouldn't be closed by operators).
I know that the Alert Details area will show if an alert is generated by an Alert Rule or Alert Monitor, but if there were a way to add an additional column to the Active Alerts view, this would help make it visually easier to quickly differentiate between
monitors and rules.
Thanks for your help!

Just be aware of some limitations and potentials pitfalls of the scripted approach:
1) Scalability & Performance - dependant on how many alerts you have \ how often they are updated \ how many other scripts you might have running on the RMS e.g. for updating other custom fields for linking into ticketing systems.

Exchange calendar invitations accepted in IOS remain "new" in iCal

My work calendar and email is based on Exchange. I manage both from a Mac (using Outlook 2011 for Mac) and an iPhone 5 running IOS 7.latest.
It works just fine. If I accept an invitation on any platform is is accepted on all. Then I look at OSX Calender (which I will refer to as iCal) and I still see a mass of invitations (the ones that I accepted on my phone or using Outlook).
I use iCal because I share calendars with the rest of my family using iCloud. So that I can view my work and home calendars in one place, I have also set up iCal to see both iCloud and Exchange calendars.
The iCloud side of the house does what I want it to do. The problem comes with the way iCal deals with calendar invitations from my Exchange account. Here goes:
I receive an Exchange calendar invitation.
I process it (accept/tentative/decline) using Outlook on the Mac or the IOS Calendar on my iPhone.
The invitation on the device I didn't use goes away.
I open iCal.
The "new" invitation is still there in iCal waiting to be processed, the only way to clear it is to accept/tentative/decline it.
I cannot find any setting to prevent this from happening. iCal seems to ignore changes in status of Exchange invitations.
Any ideas gratefully accepted! Thanks, Charlie

have had what I think is similar issue.... on both ipad and iphone. Running IOS6. Have gmail account setup through exchange connector. IOS receives and accepts invites just fine from external devices.... If i create a new invite on the IOS device and add invitees with external email addresses, once this calendar invite is saved into the diary it doesnt trigger invites to go out to those 3rd parties... but the invite definitely is in the calendar as can also see it on mast google calendar.
If I then go and move the timing of the invite that has been created on the IOS device (by holding down and dragging to new time) this then immediately triggers an invite (new Invitiation, not reschedule) to be sent to the external email addresses... any further modification to timing of invite then triggers 'reschedule' calendar invites to go out - so expected behaviour.
The issue is that IOS is not triggering the invite to go out to external parties who have been added to a newly created invite - and it only does this when the date/time of the invite is modified.
Spent about 1.5 hrs on phone to apple support yesterday - they have now passed on to 3rd level support....
Are others seeing the same behaviour as above?

Replay only particular logs (before a certain date) to restored Exchange 2010 database?

Hello,
I'm doing Exchange 2010 database full backup using windows server backup (windows 2008 R2) every weekend. I have a Mac user which Mac Outlook 2011 which somehow managed to corrupt his mailbox. I.e. on Wednesday many messages and contacts disappeared (all
contact gone) after his Outlook told his something about "corrupted database". I'm not sure what Mac Outlook did, but fact is that his mailbox has zero contacts and many inbox message are gone. Hard deleted items don't contain lost messages.
So I have DB backup from weekend before and weekend after. No circular logging, so all logs in place.
Is there a way how I can restore his mailbox back to the point in time? I want to restore his mailbox how it was on Wednesday morning. For it looks obvious that since I have log files from Monday to Friday, it should be possible to replay logs until certain
time.
I tried to did thick trick by removing Friday and Thursday logs and doing soft recovery, but got Operation terminated with error -543 (JET_errRequiredLogFilesMissing, The required log files for recovery is missing.) They indeed missing:
dbtime: 2221857861 (0x846edc45)
State: Dirty Shutdown
Log Required: 2895446-2895464 (0x2c2e56-0x2c2e68)
Log Committed: 0-2895465 (0x0-0x2c2e69)
Log Recovering: 2838005 (0x2b4df5)
Log required are logs from they day of backup, so they are really missed in that case, but that's what I want - restore DB with less/older logs to get back in time, when mailbox was not corrupted.
Is that possible?
Thanks

ok so the problem is you have the dreaded -1018 error and this is a very serious issue. -1018 is not a good deal at all, in short your DB has corruption within it
and it is usually caused by a hardware or firmware related issue. Most of the time these occur somewhere within the storage subsystem, i.e. firmware upgrade or lack of firmware upgrade, Controller issue, cabling, disk, disk arrays, etc, however they can
also be caused by memory upgrades or failures, Motherboard issues etc.   The -1018 tells you the DB is already damaged and if you see these its very bad and needs to be addressed ASAP else the DB's are sure to fail and the more stress you put on
them the faster the chance of failure, i.e. database backups, defrag;s and repairs etc are not recommended at all until you solve the hardware issue. So here is what I would recommend:
A: Lets try to ensure the box is stable and whatever caused the DB to get the -1018's is solved before we do anything else.
General Review: Whats changed recently? i.e. any hardware, memory, motherboard, any firmware updates on anything at all?
Event Log Review: Look at your Application Log, how long have these 1018's been occurring?   Look at your System event log for errors and pay close attention to any errors regarding disk, memory or MB and report back
Protect: I would dismount the database & copy it and any others off to a secure, safe drive that is NOT connected to this system
Action: Depending on what you find in your review there are really two options
     i: If you had a recent change that is easily identifiable you may be able to correct it and then we can look at finding a clean copy of the EDB and rolling up the logs OR we opt to repair the DB you have
     ii: if you cannot find the issue in short order then I would suggest that you build a new Exchange Server on new hardware and migrate your mailboxes immediately.
B: Once you have addressed the -1018 issue then;
1. We need to find a database from your backups that does NOT have the -1018 result code when attempting a rollup.
2. Once you have a non -1018 result you can then grab a fresh copy of the EDB along with all logs from that point forward and make a consistent DB via rollup up to the 18th as desired.
3. If you cannot find a good copy of the EDB then you are stuck with the latest data you have and should either move all mailboxes to a new EDB on that server but ONLY IF the source of the -1018 is found and resolved, else you will just be making thing s
worse. IF you CANNOT resolve the issue that causes the -1018 then build a brand new server and move all users over to it ASAP, else you are headed for a major failure on all users.
Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox and Public Folder EDB's and Live Exchange Servers or Import/Migrate direct from Offline EDB to Any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->
2007 --> 2010 --> 2013 with Lucid8's

Identifying black and white versus greyscale in PDF

Is there a way to identify from within a scanned PDF document (ie, something like a document property) that it was scanned as greyscale, black and white, or color? My company is using Acrobat 7.0. We have a requirement, for a variety of reasons, that PDFs for certain projects be provided as black and white scans only, but all too frequently we get them in greyscale or color. We need to be able to easily identify that a PDF is not black and white.
Thanks in advance!
