Even Simpler Moto V325 iCal iSync

First, to get your V325 to be "seen" by iSybc, you will have to install the right phoneplugin. You can get it from Dr. Shenoy's web site: http://prashant.shenoy.biz/Software.html
Once the phone is recognized, use this longish workaround that I stumbled on in trying to get things to sync with iSync (Contacts sync fine):
Resetting the calendar on the MOTO V325
1. Go to iCal and Select “America/New York” time zone – top R. BACKUP DATA BASE!! Close iCal.
2. Open iSync, make sure settings are ok: Under “More Options”, select “Don’t synchronize events prior to: Today”. Check “Don’t synchronize events after: One Month. Set “Events Time Zone: Atlantic/Reykjavik”. Select “Work” calendar only in iSync.
3. Select the V325 icon in iSync.
4. Under “Devices” menu, select “Reset Device…”
5. Shut down iSync immediately after resetting to prevent accidental automatic sync of phone and iCal. Better, deselect Calendars in iSync.
6. Contacts sync fine to the V325 address book – check Contacts: sync Cell Phone; More Options “Only sync contacts with phone numbers” and “Sync E-mail addresses”. Or you can include Contacts when you “Reset Device…”

I have given up with Missing Sync Events. I am double entering data into iCal to duplicate my Treo 680. All other syncing between my Treo and Powerbook work fine!

ICal, iSync, Alarms, causing my palm Treo 650 not to update

Hi All,
Looked around a bit and didn't see a solution to this issue and was hoping to find some information of confirm that it is a bug and I am not going crazy.
A couple days ago I noticed that the events I entered on my Treo 650 were not getting synced to iCal through iSync. Upon looking closer, I noticed that the reverse was true as well: Events I added to iCal were not getting synced to the treo.
The iSync logs said that everything was syncing successfully despite the problem. I double checked my settings on the treo and in iSync to make sure the calendars were scheduled to sync. All 6 of my calendars were checked to sync. Since this was all working a couple days prior, I assume the settings were correct.
After resetting my treo and restoring a back-up in an attempt to get my calendar to work properly, I noticed that the calendars listed in iSync disappeared even though they still existed and seemed to work in iCal. iSync keep trying to tell me to open iCal to add a new calendar because there were none.
After more fiddling I was only able to get iSync to properly list my current calendars by deleting a specific calendar. When I removed it entirely in iCal(I backed it up so I could test things out), iSync would update in a matter of seconds but if I put it back, no matter what I did, iSync would not update.
Finally, I started removing specific events in the calendar. It seems when I removed all the events that contained "alarms" (which I had started playing with a couple days prior). The calendars would work again. So I suspect iCal alarms as a culprit.
I can make due without the alarms for now, but would like to start using them again. I was starting to schedule applescripts to perform specific activities scheduled through iCal.
Has anybody else run into this problem and/or found a workaround that allows you to use iCal with your palm/treo and schedule applescript alarms? Any advice would be great. Or, if you are having the same problem I am, check to see if you have alarms in iCal.

Verizon Wireless does not now offer—and has not historically offered—the Palm Treo 680. The Treo 680 is a GSM device, and not compatible with the Verizon network. Verizon currently offers the Palm 700p and the 700wx, and has previously offered various Palm and Windows Mobile devices beginning with the Palm Treo 600.
The anomalies you see are likely the result of issues with iSync and the iSync Palm conduit, and not with the device itself. With an advanced Palm device such as any Treo beyond the 600, you should instead opt to use either…
• the Missing Sync for Palm OS, or
• the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile
…selecting whichever one supports the operating system of your particular Treo. In your case with a Treo 680, that's the Missing Sync for Palm OS.

Entourage-iCal-iSync solution

For those trying to make connections check out e2Sync : http://www.e2sync.com/
"e2Sync Tiger brings full Entourage integration with iSync and your mobile devices. e2Sync Tiger syncs your Entourage Contacts, Events, and Tasks with iCal, AddressBook and all iSync compatible mobile devices including over 60 mobile phones, Palm PDAs, the SonyEricsson P900/910, even the new Motorola Razr V3, and of course your iPod."
$40 for "2 personal machines".

You're blaming the wrong people.
Maybe.
I'd like to know how I could enforce progress in the solution of theses problems, anyway.
These are mostly limitations in the phone. iSync can
only do what the phone is capable of.
Yes, there are limtations in the phone.
But there are more or less elegant ways to circumvent them.
2.1 Speed dials have never been synced. They are a
feature of the phone. Not iSync or the Mac Address
Book.
Yes, I agree.
But new with Tiger/iSync 2.4 is that they are deleted from the phone when syncing. This wasn't the case before.
2.2 Whitespaces? What do you mean?
I put spaces in my phone numbers for easier reading.
2.3 That's a limitation of the Nokia calendar.
Yes, it is.
But iSync prior to 2.4 (or 2.3?) had a more elegant way of dealing with them.
Does the fact that you've tried iSync plugins from
THREE different sources not tell you that the problem
is with limitations in the phone NOT iSync?
Or it only tells me that plug-ins in general are not that powerful.
The question remains to me:
What can be done to get this working properly?
Any ideas?

Apple You Need to Fix iCal/iSync in Leopard!

Hi,
What did Apple do to iCal in Leopard? They broke it somehow. I had hard drive failure in powerbook. Replaced Hard drive, did new install of Leopard. Then installed Palm desktop 4.2 (newest from site). Setup Palm Treo 650 conduit in isync. It will only sync the addresses, nothing in iCal. Either way is bad. From Treo to iCal, and iCal to Treo won't work. Everything IS setup correctly. I used to do this in Tiger with no problems. What did Apple do to Leopard? This needs to be corrected immediately! I do all my scheduling in iCal. It is useless to me if I can't sync it to the Treo to take with me.

You have no idea of what you are talking about, and your claims are entirely without merit. iCal was rewritten from the ground up for release with Mac OS X 10.5, and the synchronization component of it—in particular—does not work as intended or expected.
Virtually all mobile handsets and smartphones which worked under various releases of Mac OS X 10.4—with or without a plugin—continue to work under Mac OS X 10.5 and later. It is almost exclusively Palm devices which do not work as user would reasonably expect them to since the release of Mac OS X 10.5 and iCal 3.
iCal and iSync cannot simply be returned to their Mac OS X 10.4 counterparts: your inability to understand the complex nature of programming these applications and their frameworks apparently underlies your groundless assumptions and claims.
It silly to claim that these applications "…worked perfectly in and up to 10.4." Nothing could be further from the truth. By most reasonable measures, particularly with regard to Palm devices, these applications did not come close to working "perfectly," and many, many mobile handsets offer better interaction with the Address Book and iCal through iSync than does the iPhone through iTunes.

Nokia N73 - Birthdays + iCal + iSync = 2 day events

All day events in iCal are displaying on the Nokia N73 as expected, a single entry with the time displaying as:
0:00 - 23:59
However Birthday's don't display correctly. Rather, they appear as two day events on the Nokia N73 with the time dislaying as:
23:00 - 23:59 on the first day of the two day event and
0:00 - 23:00 on the second day of the two day event
I can't for the life of me figure out why only Birthday's are not syncing as single day events with the 0:00 - 23:59 time stamp!?!?
Anyone have any ideas please?
I know this often happens with Sony Ericsson phones if the daylight saving settings differ between computer and phone however I have ruled this out given that it is only happening with Birthdays.
Is anyone else in a position to perhaps test this on their Nokia phone? If so make sure you have a Birthday entry for someone in your Macs Address Book as well as having the "Show Birthdays calendar" setting checked in your iCal preferences and finally ensure you have the Birthdays calendar set to sync in iCal.
Many thanks!

Advice: Treo/Verizon/Ical/Isync/ Do we do it?

Hi everyone,
We're currently using one paper calendar and a pencil. Without legnthy explanations...
We want to do the following, and we want to know if it's possible. As the answers we get elsewhere are rather unconvincing.
1. Treo/Blackberry like device, we like keyboards and must use Verizon. (leaning towards Treo after trying in store.) There is always a pregnant pause when I ask if they're compatible with MAC.
2. Email from phone calendar dates to each other. (Invites?) ability to open these on the phone and/or the computer.
3. Email from computer (Issue: I use Eudora, my husband uses Apple Mail) ical appointments.
4. Ical sync with device.
5. Ability to see who's appointment is who's ... for instance if I send my husband and appt for his calendar but it's my appointment... We need to do this because of business, house etc.. So I'm not really "inviting" him to come along or block out his time... just a "notification" or something? Is there a way for us to have each other's appointments on the phones and the computers. To re-explain again... We could both have appointments at 1:00PM for one hour, with different people, and we have both appointments existing on our Treo's & Ical, but my appointment would block out my time, and his would block out his time... I hope that makes sense.
6. Our computers are separate, or unlinked (excuse my laymen terms here, I don't know it all)
7. What happens if we travel with a Lap Top with microsoft... can we do this at .mac? It appears the calendar is read only there, so we would rely on our Treos?
8. Which Treo model works best for MAC, we'll spend anything to get rid of the pencil.
Thank you so much for helping us understand this!!!!
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

So far so good, a few hiccups but Verizon has supported me so far on each issue. Some responders from the support line where not as good as others, but I did find several who were more than helpful. The forums here are helpful too, aggravation does make some of the posts bias against the phone, but there are some good posts out there and the solution found posts will help us all.
Everyone who owns a Thunderbolt just needs a little patience, it is a new and powerful device. I'm sure HTC and Verizon are working out the confirmed bugs, and will roll out confirmed updates when they have gathered more data. When I was prototyping the obsidian, which we marketed as the glisten, we had many issues too, but in the end worked most of them out.
The thunderbolt should also follow same result as long as Verizon and HTC keep it in the front line, so far they are still marketing it, even with having the Iphone now in their portfolio. I viewed a wirefly.com smackdown between the Thunderbolt and the new Iphone, and to me, I do like the Thunderbolt best. On to day 12, so far so good.

Ical, isync will not open after restoring ilife 04 onto tiger

Hi,
I've just used my old 10.3.5 disks to reinstall ilife on a powerbook that is now running tiger (for whatever reason, iphoto and imovie disappeared upon upgrade while the other applications didn't). Perhaps stupidly, I reinstalled all the extra applications on the disc, including ical and isync, instead of just the ones I needed. Everything works except for these two - the ical icon has changed to a piece of paper, pencils, and a ruler, and won't open, just giving one bounce and then quitting without a message. Same for isync, except the icon has stayed the same.
Most of the fixes I've looked at for ical not opening mentioned clearing something in isync but i can't get at it! any suggestions?
Thanks for any help!

Mr. Lemur,
iLife '04 was bundled with your computer, and it should be located on your Software Install and Restore DVD, not a Panther disc.

Simple use of iCal

I have 3 questions. I assume you want 3 separate posts. For reference, the other 2 subjects are: "Can't add eventl" and "Color coding etc."
In searching for answers it appears most of the questions regard synch and communication of iCal between multiple devices. The possibilities seem to be quite complex. Is there a better calendar to use for basic, one computer, simple calendar use? All I want to do is keep track of appointments and print a page to post on the fridge.
Sorry to be so ancient sounding but there are still a few of us living in the 20th century.
Thanks
Geoff

Most users of iCal have no problems. If you are not syncing or communicating with other devices you won't have those problems. Stick with iCal.

N97 iCal iSync Duplicating events

Hello All,
1st post for me on here! I have had a look on the both iSync & iCal discussions but couldn't find an answer to help me so i'll post my question, small problem so hope someone can answer.
I got my iCal & address book on my Mac all nice & tidy then sync'd it to my N97 (which was new so nothing on it). After the Sync, my contacts & calendar on my N97 were looking great, the following day when I sync'd again to update a few new contacts the calendar on my N97 & the iCal on the Mac have duplicated every event! I can see all the original events but the duplicates are all there in one colour no matter what they represent (i.e. birthdays, work, etc). Is there a straight forward way in removing the duplicates & stop it from happening again?
I've tried a 3rd party app but it couldn't see the duplicates!
Many thanks for any help.

Hi,
I have just had a similar problem. I am not sure if it applies to you but hey here we go...
Basically i have 5 tabs on my ical calender i.e red, blue, green etc for three different buildings i manage. Now heres the crucial bit, when isync adds to the phone for the first time it only puts the events on the phone in one colour ( in my case the blue tab) so when you sync for the second time the ical calender sees all these blue events and thinks they are new events and duplicates! once you have removed the duplicates the problem should resolve...
Cheers. Hope this has helped.

Logic x quits often and even simple tasks cause it to freeze. Runs very slow. unuseable so far. Any one else?

I guess there must be more users with the same problems I have experienced with Logic X.
The program freezes even performing simple tasks such as dragging a loop into an audio track. This causes the cursor not to respond to return key reset to head for over a minute. Opening a new project freezes the file header and takes over 2 minutes to respond. Even on unrelated windows moving the mouse around causes logic tags such as 'track number' to appear in the midst of text. Extremely odd. I would certainly appreciate any remedies from the community.
Cheers
Mike

Dilksy, (and Joe for that matter..)
You should check other things on your system as such issues have been found to typically be related to;
Other apps running in the background, corrupted Spotlight indexes, lack of System Drive space (you should keep at least 30% free system drive space at all times), issues with OS X installations... badly written or incompatible Audio/midi drivers.. old plugin issues.. use of poorly cracked plugins/libraries.. hardware problems.. disk errors...and so on...
I can say I have been running LPX with 10.9 for the last 3 weeks during a very busy period at the studio and not had a single crash or spinning wheel or 'showstopping issue' of any kind... so the kind of issue you are seeing is not typical...
If you want to get your problems fixed, you need to do some intensive troubleshooting yourself.. Try to find what is causing the issue.. is there any pattern to it? What do your crash logs tell you? What does the general system logs in console tell you? If you just use Logic's own plugins and nothing 3rd party, does the issue continue? have you checked for updated Audio/Midi drivers and have you installed them? Have you updated your plugins? Have you done a full disk/permissions check recently? What does OS X's activity montior show when things slow down?
Its very easy to blame LPX for any issues you may have but more often than not it is found not to be a LPX issue at all... Just read through the various threads here with people having crashes etc.. and you will see what i mean...

IPhone's iCal has events back to 2008, even though not in iCal on computer?

I recently upgraded my iPhone to firmware v3.0, and iTunes to 8.2.
Upon syncing, I noticed that my iPhone has iCal events going back months (and some even to 2008), that are not in the iCal on my computer. My computer doesn't have ANY events prior to today (July 18), yet my iPhone seems to remember some prior events I had on it dating back to September 2008, and many in between. Why this discrepancy and how can I fix it? (and yes, I've checked the "don't sync events more than 1 day old", and opened up the iCal preferences/advanced tab and checked the "Delete events 1 day after they have passed" box, to no avail).
Thanks,
jman995x

No, not even that...just random stuff....Dental Appt on September 28, 2009....Register for school on January 17, 2009, etc., etc.
Mind you, there were many more things on (and in between) those aforementioned dates, but for some reason a few of these random calendar events just won't leave my iPhone. Granted, I could manually delete said events from my iPhone, but that is really tedious and there's like 60 of them.
Any advice as to why random dates are plaguing my iPhone's iCal would be greatly appreciated.

Ical/isync deletes old posts on N95??

Hi
When i Sync N95 with Ical (v. 3.0.5.) using Isync(v 3.0.2.), all post older than 2 monts are deleted from the phone?? Any way to avoid that?

And that's fine (that it won sync old tasks), but apparently it also means that it deletes whatever it Isync defines as old tasks (in my case older than two months), for no reason in my opinion. I tried different ways in the "more options" to solve the problem, nothing helped though?
Any good suggestions ?

Is even simple automation possible

in our workplace we now need to:
1 find a file
2 double click it
3 select automations under Metadata
4 click "Send proxy to FTP"
5 click save changes
2 automation clicks is all that is needed. Is there ANY way to automate this rather than doing it all by hand. Apple, can you make FCS scriptable PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, a manual "automation" is requiring those steps. I've tried to add a tickbox in the list view or in the thumbnail view, or in the first page after double click (Asset metadata), but I couldn't do it.
To organically fit your "automation" in a workflow could be done at the time of ingestion (assuming you'd already know from which assets you'd want to send the proxy to an FTP).
Create an ingest-and-send-proxy-to-ftp watch folder and create a watcher followed by a subscription to get your proxy to the FTP fully automated.
You could also consider some scripting outside of Final Cut Server using the XML-write / XML-read principle. At the time of ingestion you could have FCS to automatically write an xml. Whenever you need the proxy to be sent to the FTP, your external script could send a read-xml to FCS with a trigger to upload the proxy to FTP.
What I'd like to know from you is how did you get: "Automations under Metadata" and "Send proxy to FTP"?
Is "Automations" a metadata group custom made by your administrator? and is "Send proxy to FTP" one of the automations created by the administrator?
And finally: the action "Send Proxy to FTP", how is it done? Is this done by a script which is getting the proxy file and duplicating this to the FTP, or is it done by copying the file to FTP with the transcode setting for the proxy file (i.e. recreating rather than duplicating)?
Thanks, Henk

Leopard slows down and freezes - please help

I'm running Leopard on a Macbook and I have had startup problems and slowdowns in general a couple of days now.
When I start up the machine I get the apple logo, the spinning circle and then the blue screen for about 2-3 minutes before I get my Leopard wallpaper. It then takes another 3-4 minutes before the dock and icons load up and usually a couple of minutes before I can actually access the desktop.
The whole startup usually took me less than 2 minutes total and is now as you can see a much longer process.
Once in Leopard applications take much longer to load than usual and often freeze or stop responding. I get the colored spinning disc a lot and it seems like Leopard is using a lot of time loading up even simple apps like iCal and Mail.
I'm not sure but it seems like Finder is the problem. I have tried restarting Finder a couple of times and this always gives me the gray screen telling me to restart Leopard by holding the power button.
I have no idea why this has happened, I haven't installed any big apps or used up a lot of the HD space. I still have approx 85GB on my HD so that shouldn't be the problem.
I have of course tried the basic troubleshooting such as restarting and verifying/repairing disk permissions in Disk Utility so I don't know what else to do.
Any suggestions, tips, or ideas are truly appreciated. I really want my old Mac back, the waiting is driving me nuts.
Thanks
Dave

Verify didn't report any errors so that didn't really help.
I have just popped in my Leopard disk but there doesn't seem to be a menu for "utilities". My options are "Install Mac OS X", "Optional installs" (which doesn't have a Repair Disk option", and "Instructions".
Did your MacBook come with Leopard, or did you install the upgrade over your Tiger system?
The machine came with Tiger so I bought Leopard seperately, formatted the HD and did a clean install. But this was back when Leopard came out and I haven't had any problems with the OS until now.

Odd problem.

Hi, all.
[October '08 15" Macbook Pro. 4GB RAM, 1067 MHz DDR3. Last week, i repaired permissions and updated the OS to 10.6.5]
On Monday afternoon, while surfing with Google Chrome browser, i had a few tabs open. I tried to open a new tab, but nothing entered into the URL/search bar would result in, well, anything. The text i typed just disappeared and the page did nothing. Same with any subsequent new tabs. BUT, any tabs i previously had open DID respond and i could even access other (internal links/pages) with sites already open. I could not use those open pages to open new sites, though.
Okay, so i thought it was a browser or internet issue. But, it wasn't. I then found that i could not start any applications. Everything already running continued to run, but i couldn't start anything new. Even simple things like iCal or Address Book.
When i thought it was a net-related issue, i unplugged the ethernet cable, and turned off AirPort. I was in someone else's office, and using their various connections. Restarting the Finder (only) did nothing. I complete restart solved the problem. Until the next afternoon, at around the same time. Same issues. Again, a restart, and this time i found foreign/odd files in my trash as "recovered files."
Same thing just happened, but i'm at home this time. And there's nothing in the trash. A restart has (temporarily) solved the issue, but what could this be? The timing seems to be different today than the previous two times. I didn't keep track of when it happened the first time, but i believe it was 1:30pm-ish. Same, thereabouts, the second time. But, the third day, it happened at 3:15-ish.
Suggestions?

We are users just like yourself helping each other. We are not necessarily "IT" guys/gals. Just because you were running fine for a year+ does not indicate that it's OK to do so. The OS needs room (free space) on the hard drive to operate properly. Generally most folks in this forum would agree on 10-15% free space minimum on the hard drive to do so. Continually operating with less can eventually trash the HD. Your mileage may vary but it sounds like that is beginning to happen. Get as much free space as you can now and run Disk Utilities Repair Disk from your booted OS installer disk.
