Exchange ActiveSync and specially crafted messages cause ActiveSync/Email App to stop sync'ing

So, I think I've finally put together what the issue is with ActiveSync and Mail hanging on the Incredible, at least for me. When I recieve SharePoint Alerts, or Google Calendar invites, my Droid will stop syncing every time. If I find the message and delete it on my phone, the sync will start working again.
The two ways I've seen this happen are one, with SharePoint alerts. I have signed up to recieve alerts from SharePoint when content changes, or tasks are updated. These messages pretty much break sync every time. As soon as I delete one, it starts right back up until it hits the next one.
The other way I've seen sync stop working is when Google calendar invites are sent to me. The discription is usually really long, and has very long urls inside of it. It seems there must be some kind of limitation here in what ActiveSync can handle.
In both cases, as soon as I find the message that is holding everything up and delete it, sync returns to normal and starts working again.
We're running Exchange 2003... but will be migrating to Exchange 2010 soon. I'm wondering if this will helpl the issue.
Has anyone else noticed this issues like these with their Incredible and ActiveSync?
Is there another place I can submit this bug? HTC, Google?
Thanks,
Rob

I get this same problem. When I delete the sharepoint messages it works again. Anyone know a fix for this?

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

I upgraded the Pages version on my iPad and iPhone some weeks ago. The App has not synced previous data on both AND it's unstable on both. Luckily I didn't upgrade on my Mac where the old version is working ok! What to do??

I upgraded the Pages version on my iPad and iPhone some weeks ago. The App has not synced previous data on both AND it's unstable on both. Luckily I didn't upgrade on my Mac where the old version is working ok!

You need the new versions of both to sync data between them. If you don't have the new versions on your Mac, they will not sync.
BTW, the new versions do NOT overwrite the old on Mac. When you install them, the old versions are retained.

Exchange email won't stop syncing inbox on Mac

I've been using Macs, iPhones, and iPads for many years, but I've never tried to setup my work Exchange account with my Mac until I just purchased a MacBook Air as a second computer (to use partially for work). I was hoping that it would work just like it does on my iPhone and iPad and it appears like it should, but in Mail it just keeps syncing. It looks like most (I'm not sure if it's all) of my email has come in, but sending and receiving is very slow and it seems to be continuously syncing. I'm basing this on the appearance of the circling graphic just to the rght of the Inbox. This is the one that looks like spinning dashes in a circle, not the one that looks like a pie showing completion status of the sync. However, the Mail Activity box in the lower left doesn't show anything.
My company uses Microsoft Exchange 2010 and I'm running the latest and updated version of Lion (in fact it's one of the new Airs that just came out this week), so I'd expect this to work. Calendar and Contacts seem to be sycing just fine.
Does anybody have any expertise with this? I've already waited several hours and I've tried it for both mine and my wife's account (both Exchagne 2010) with the same result.
Thanks for any help!

You're not the only one having this problem with Exchange servers. Every so often, Mail gets stuck on that spinning wheel you describe, but it only occurs on the Exchange server account. All other accounts that I have check and receive mail flawlessly. The spinning wheel doesn't seem to affect incoming mail; even though the spinning wheel gives the appearance that it's hung up, new mail still arrives. It's just more of an annoyance to me, so I quit Mail and immediately re-open it and the spinning stops (for awhile). Face it. Macs still hating talking to Microsoft devices. I think that's the bottom line explanation.

Music files in my PC's iTunes directory have been moved around, now iTunes' index is not recognizing them and returns error messages. The files have previously been sync'd to my iPod, but when I tried to sync back from the iPod, iTunes on the PC error'd.

I want iTunes to reconstruct its index of my music.
We accidentally moved files around in my <<C:\Documents and Settings\Jordan\My Documents\My Music\iTunes>> directory. We tried to move them back, but anyway, the iTunes program now no longer can find/play the titles that the opened iTunes page/Library displays.
I had previously copied/syncd all my iTunes music to my iPod. I tried syncing back to the PC from the iPod. No improovement.
At the moment, my dad is on my computer, logged in under his name (with administrative permissions). It seems that looking at my iTunes music under his login is still working OK.
I do not have my music backed up to the "cloud".
What are my options?

The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
If you have to resort to trying to pull back the library from your iPod see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Trying to sync my iPad and get the message that "all existing apps and their data will be replaced"

Previously my Windows 7 laptop didn't recognise my iPad but I persevered and now am getting the message when trying to update the iOS that if I sync, "all existing apps and their data will be replaced" so I'll lose everything I've bought since I last synced (which is a while). How can I back up my apps before syncing fully and then updating. I have 'transferred purchases' using the File menu but still getting the message.
Message was edited by: annielevo

Sounds like you have created a new library somehow. Ideally you would restore your old library and the problem would go away. If that is not possible then you should be able to:
Backup the device to the computer
Transfer your purchases into an authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Download remaining past purchases from iTunes in the Cloud, where available
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

HT1937 Hey buddy my iphone freezes some times and sometimes when i m running my apps it stops and i get returned to hone screen

Hey guyz plz gelp me out from this problem

What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

Sync Contacts between Exchange account and MobileMe account

On my iPad I use two different email accounts: one Exchange account with ActiveSync and one MobileMe account.
How can I consolidate or sync Contacts between the two accounts?
At least, I would like to be able to move contacts from my MobileMe account to my Exchange account. Is that possible?
Thanks in advance for any hints or advice.

You could each add the others iCloud to your devices as a secondary account in mail, contacts, calendars and just enable the services you wish to use.

I have just installed Mountain Lion and received a message "speech synthesis server.app could not be opened because it is damaged or incomplete", please can you advise me what to do next? Thanks

Something went wrong with your upgrade.
Back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it.

RPTARQEMAIL and "blind" carbon copy sending (bcc email)

Hello everyone,
In our fairly-standard Employee Services and workflow, we use RPTARQEMAIL run as a batch job nightly to bundled up and send email notifications to all Requestors whose leave has been approved that day.
However, when the user receives the email they see ALL of the Requestors for that day appended together in the "To:" field of their email. They do not want this to happen as they see it as a breach of privacy, particularly if it was personal leave.
The email is sent via standard SAPConnect (SAP Business Workplace) mechanisms, using a Batch user called HRBATCH, and goes from our ECC6 system to our internal MS Exchange server, and thus to the internal users' email box.
We are looking at two options but are unsure of the best way to proceed:
1. Option 1-- Change the HRBATCH profile to limited it to send email to one recipient at a time, or
2. Option 2-- Change the way RPTARQEMAIL is calling the email to force it to use BCC: instead of TO:
However...after a length investigation we are not sure how to do this.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,
regards,
Alistair

Folks, forgot to up date this Post to advise that with the assistance of SAP Support this problem was fairly easily solved. Refer the attached Message extracts:
Response #1 from SAP
If you make sure that the report RPTARQEMAIL is standard,
I mean that Report was not modified before. You can choose
radio button 'With All Documents'
In the screen of RPTARQEMAIL to avoide send email together.
In the standard scenario the radio button 'With General Notification'
all the requestors are grouped together for sending the mails.
Reply from Me
Thank you ... So - just to confirm - as we run this as a Batch
job with a variant, are you saying that we just need to change the
variant to switch "on" the "With All Documents" radio button for "E-
Mail Text For Requestor", then the requestors will NOT be grouped
together?
Can you please confirm which field in the Variant this would relate to?
Response #2 from SAP
you are right. you need to change the variant for requestor.
I have attached screen copy for variant of the RPTARQEMAIL
for your reference.
By the way, I suggest you to try this variant with test run
firstly. if it can be executed as you expected and then
please run this as a batch job.
Thanks&Best regards,
Don't think I'm able to attach the 'screen copy' she mentioned, however in text on the Varient it looks like so:
==================================================
Leave Requests - Send E-Mails
(Exc)( i )
E-Mail Text for Requester
[x] Send E-Mail
      With this Text:                  [HR_TIM_ARQ_REQUESTOR     ]
[ ] With General Notification            [X] With All Documents
[etc etc]

IPod Touch stops syncing and disappears from iTunes

I have a problem with an iPod Touch 8GB: when connecting it to a MacBook, it starts syncing and transferring songs, but after a while it just stops syncing and disappears from iTunes. The iPod will still show "sync in progress", and it will still show up in the System Profiler, but not in iTunes.
If I cancel the sync from the iPod, the song library will be inaccessible ("Cancelling sync" or whatever it says) until I unplug the USB cable. If I keep trying (by unplugging and re-plugging it in), it will eventually finish syncing all songs, but it takes ages that way.
I have tried 2 different USB cables and upgraded to firmware 1.1.5 (it was 1.1.4 before). Any ideas?

I have upgraded to 2.0.1 and the latest itunes as of today and still have the exact same issue. I have even tried the following with no luck :
1. Restart the ipod after this occurs and then sync again.
2. Deleted my entire list of Music and Videos from itunes and reloaded them back.
3. Formatted and Reinstalled Windows and tried syncing again.
Thanks to this issue, i dont even have a single song or Video on my ipod....
Can someone please Help.

Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2010 Coexistence Activesync Issue

Hello,
I am currently on the progress of migrating mails from Exchange 2003 SP2 to Exchange 2010 SP3. Before I can do actual migration, I need to make sure that OWA and Activesync works when Exchange 2010 becomes Internet facing.
Right now Exchange 2003 is Internet facing while Exchange 2010 is internal LAN only. OWA login from Exchange 2010 to a mailbox in Exchange 2003 works fine. However, trying to open a mailbox in Exchange 2003 from Exchange 2010 Activesync fails.
Activesync login from Exchange 2010 to a mailbox in Exchange 2010 works fine, as well as logging in from Exchange 2003 to mailbox in Exchange 2003.
Tests using AccessMyLAN ActiveSync Tester using Exchange 2010 as entry point are inconclusive. The test shows the app successfully contacting ActiveSync version 6.5 which is Exchange 2003, but results in "Activesync detected, but not correctly configured."
Tests using Test-ActiveSyncConnectivity from Exchange 2010 reveals Error HTTP 400 when contacting Exchange 2003. The cmdlet also shows it successfully contacting Activesync version 6.5 (Exchange 2003).
I have searched around, installed hotfix KB937031, enabled Integrated Windows Authentication on Exchange 2003 Microsoft-Server-Activesync, disabled Require SSL for Microsoft-Server-Activesync and exchange-oma, yet I still can't connect to a mailbox inside
Exchange 2003 through ActiveSync 2010. Website Multiple Identities for port 80 has been set correctly. Exchange 2003 has Forms-Based Authentication Enabled and is the one thing we haven't tried disabling yet.
We want to make sure everything works first, then make Exchange 2010 Internet facing, and finally do the mail migration. We do not want to migrate everyone in a single sitting. Please if anyone have ideas any help is welcomed!

Exchange 2010 will proxy ActiveSync for Exchange 2003. For OWA, it will redirect, so you need a legacy redirect URL. You can test all of this internally without changing your Internet connection. For ActiveSync you can use a WiFi connection.
