Exchange: contacts sync from read-only folder
In the past, I have been able to set up a device to get its contact info from a read-only Exchange public folder (set with one-way sync). Setting up a replacement device, that option is greyed out and the folder in question cannot be selected. Desktop software version is 7.0.0.43; device is a Tour 9630 running OS 5.0. Help? We are not running BES.
I am going to give followup.
The problem was corruption of my brand new Imac 27. I went around and around with applecare and they finally figured out that my preferences were corrupted. Usuallly that can be fixed but they were unable. Basically, everytime I set the right connection to gmail up, it changed it...
Finally, I set up a new user account on my mac. I logged into that user and started all over again. Now everything works.
I spent hours and hours on this... I bought a mac because "It just works" No more fooling with the registry and spending forever in dread with tech support. OK, so Mac doesn't have a registry. It has libraries. I spent forever fixing it.. Felt just like my Windows experience. Hope this isn't a harbinger of things to come.

Hi I'm having trouble with the photos from my iPhone.
When I import them to my PC, it won't let me rotate them and re-save them. It says that there is a problem with the file's properties or they may be in a read-only folder. The latter is not the case.
I have tried opening them in several programmes but Windows Photo Viewer is default
Also when I email them to myself I can't open them or save them down to my computer.
Is there a setting on my iPhone that I should change that is impacting on the photo's file properties? This has only just started happening.
Thanks!

Cannot make changes to the contents of this read-only folder
I recently got a new laptop and loaded Office 2013. We have three inboxes in Outlook and are using Cox IMAP. I get the following message when I try to delete emails from the primary inbox "Cannot make changes to the contents of this read-only
folder". Emails can be deleted from the other folders with no problem.
Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to fix it?Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to solve the problem of Outlook inbox folder, please follow these steps: -
Step 1: - If you are unable to delete all emails from a given Outlook folder, most likely that folder is locked.
Restarting Windows should fix it.
Step 2: - If you are unable to delete only some emails, then your
Outlook data file might be corrupted.
Step 3: -
Empty your Deleted items mail folder, then try again to delete emails.
Step 4: -
Hard deletes the selected emails – While the emails are highlighted/selected, keep the
Shift key pressed and hit the Delete key.
Step 5: -
Restart Outlook in Safe Mode and try deleting the emails from there.
Step 6: -
Edit the culprit email (Actions > Edit Message), save it back and try to delete it.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Desktop Manager - contacts sync from Entourage but...
Desktop Manager - contacts sync from Entourage but when I add a new contact, it won't sync the other way. I have all teh Sync options set in Entourage as per the instructions.
what am I doing wrong?I have the same problem with getting new calendar appointments from my 8530 Curve into Entourage (on Mac OS x v. 10.6.3). They go into iCal. I have Entourage sync preferences set to sync with iCal, and I have Desktop Manager advanced sync options set for events created on the device to go to Entourage - but they don't. I have "merge data" and two-way syncing set. It works fine syncing from Entourage to my BB.
How can I get data added on my BB to go directly into Entourage?

Change a drop down list from read only/invisable on a radiobutton value
Hi All i am new to all this and need a few pointers?
I have a form which was made using Livecycle Designer 8.
On this form are a set of radio buttons (yes/no/NA).
Is there a way to change the state of a drop down list from read only or invisible and display a message after 'no' has been selected on a set of radio buttons?
Thanks in advance.No being in a table shoudl not affect it.....but you will more than likely have to include the path to the object. Without seeing your form it is impossible to tell you what it should be. You can place your cursor in the script editor where you want the reference to the DDList. Then hold down the Ctrl key and move your mouse to point to the field you want to reference. When the cursor hits the canvas it will change to a V. When you get to the field you want click the mouse button and the expression that you need will be placed in the script editor. This is path relative to where the context in which the script will be run. Now you can simply add the "." and whatever method/property that you want to reference.
Hope that helps

Can not change files from "Read Only" In Windows 8.1
I am the only Administrator on my computer, there are no other accounts. Some how all my files now have the read only attribute and I can not change it. It gives me the option to change it and I do and it looks like it got rid of it; but as soon as I close
out of the properties window and go back into the read only attribute is still there.
The read only attribute doesn't even act like itself because I can still edit the files that are in the selected read only folder. But it doesn't let me change the folder group options.
None but one of these folders are customized so it is not a problem that can be resolved by the other threads I have read.
Even new files I create have the read only attribute, please help, this is really annoying.Hi,
For this problem, please refer to the KB below to repair the problem for test firstly, If no use, please feel free let us know.
You cannot view or change the Read-only or the System attributes of folders in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, in Windows Vista or in Windows 7:

Note: This article also applys to Windows 8.

When I try to save a file using Excel 2008, ver 12.3.3, with extension either .xlsx or .xls, I get a message saying it cannot be saved because it is "read only." How do I change it from read only? (And how did it ever get to be read only?)
Save the file as a new name. Close and Open the new file.
Most likely when a file transfer happens, Office makes the file 'Read Only'.
If you have two opened files with the same name, the last opened file will be 'Read Only'. -
I don't seem to be able to change the permissions on my Seagate 1TB Expansion Drive from read only to read and write.
Are there expansion drives compatible with both Windows and Mac as I have a Windows computer at work and use my Mac at home?
ThanksIt is a question of formats. That drive probably is formatted for Windows. You will have to reformat it to ExFAT on the PC, then it will work both on the Mac and the PC.
REFORMATTING ERASES ALL DATA ON A DISK!
There is a software option which will allow you to write to the HDD with reformatting:

How do i get my external hard drive permissions changed from read only to read and write?
Does anyone know how to get an external drive to unlock the permissions from read only to read and write? Without reformatting or buying an app?
Hey P,
If you single click on your external drive icon on the desktop and then goto
'File > Get Info' a window will display the information for that drive. At the
bottom of the window their should be a check box that either allows you
to recognise users of not. You probably want to uncheck this box.
Or... You can keep the user option and just change the permissions
using the same Get Info window.

Get Info on your drive from the Finder - you'll see a dialog box like this:
If the Privilege is set to Read Only for the user, simply click on the "Read Only" and change it to "Read & Write".
Is that what you're looking for?

Have ios7.Can I undue contact sync from facebook and linkedin?
I have the iphone 4s, running iOS 7.03. Is there aneasy way to undue a contact sync from Facebook and Linkedin? Thank you.
Yes. Try this.
Open the Facebook app and go to your Friends section.
At the top right, tap the arrow button then select "sync contacts".
This will upload iphone contacts to facebook and download facebook contacts on to the iphone.
Here is a link for more info (although the facebook app in that link is an older version)

Why is contact sync from iphone or ipad to local iMac address book gone?
An option for syncing contacts from iphone or ipad to iMac seems to be gone. From searching other posts on this topic, I see where contact sync is now "through iCloud" but is this the EXCLUSIVE choice for syncing contacts? In other words, there is no longer any sync of contacts NOT through iCloud; I cannot sync contacts from my iPhone to my iMac without it all being stored in the cloud.
This is absurd. My iCloud was hacked (not a password issue on my iMac or any local trojan/etc there are support threads about this) and tons of spam sent to my contacts when I used to sync through the cloud. I turned off iCloud sync for contacts and opted instead to sync from phone to mac and from iPad to mac and this was working just fine, keeping me nice and updated every day no matter where I modified any contacts.
Now it seems that is no longer possible. Is this by design? Why on earth was this removed? Is it a "feature" of these new products to remove working sync methods and force everything through the cloud??The ability to sync contacts, calendar and browser bookmarks directly from a Mac running Mavericks to an IOS device via USB or WiFi has indeed been removed. Synching through iCloud, Exchange, WebDAV or a similar cloud service is the only option now. You can comment to Apple in this issue via their feedback page, if you wish:

IPhone contact syncing from another computer.
My Friend has an old 3Gs and wants to transfer all his contacts from his old 3Gs to his new iPhone 4s. Only catch is he doens't have a cpmpoture and was wondering if it is possible to do it using my MacBook despite the fact that his old phone was synced to his ex-girlfriends computer and has never been synced to mine.
Can anyone helpThen it must be a 3G rather than a 3GS. Probably the only option then is to transfer them to a gmail exchange account on the old phone, as explained here: http://transfer-iphone-contacts.blogspot.com/p/transfer-iphone-contacts-via-gmai l.html. Then set up the same exchange account on the new phone and turn contact syncing to On. Then be sure not to sync contacts with iCloud on the new phone. (Trying to sync data with both iCloud and gmail exchange can create problems.)

Why don't my contacts sync from iCloud?
I have moved my mobile me account to iCloud. Backed up my iPhone, backed up my iPad but my contacts folder is still empty. What do I do to make it sync? I thought it was all meant to happen automatically!
I have been STRESSED about my contacts. Not only were my contacts not syncing, my computers were freezing because of 'AddressBookSourceSync.' iCloud at this moment can't support Groups, if you have groups in your address book that you have created, back up your address book on your Mac and save it on your hard drive until Apple sends out a fix.
On your Mac(s) go to Systems Preferences under Mail stop syncing your iCloud address book. Delete your complete iCloud account from iPhone, iPod Touch and/or iPad and DO NOT KEEP THE CONTACTS ON YOUR DEVICES!. Delete your groups individually on http://iCloud.com. **delete your groups, not your address book** Once you have no groups, and 'All Contacts' is the only category you see on iCloud's website, delete your entire address book on your Mac(s) -- you should have NO ADDRESSES IN YOUR APPLE ADDRESS BOOK! Go back to System Preferences and allow iCloud to sync again. When it syncs in your Apple Address Book 'iCloud Addresses' with NO GROUPS listed.
!!BACKUP YOUR DEVICES!!
On your devices, make sure you have no addresses, if you don't re-add your iCloud account and you are ready to go. Add a "test" contact and it should sync. If you can't remove the addresses from your phone, iPad or iPod, reset the phone and DON'T RESTORE FROM A BACKUP, start your phone from scratch and re-add iCloud.
When Apple fixes this problem, you can easily restore from the backup you did earlier. This does not remedy the battery drain problem on iPhone 4S, but my Macs no longer freeze and my address books are syncing perfectly.
