First Calendar experience

My first experience with Calendar was that the program wasn't ready yet and that it was unstable.Yesterday, after several learning attempts and two crashes, I finally produced a Caledar 2006 and sent it to Apple for printing.
I couldn't use pictures smaller than 1MB because they had warning about printing poorly even if they were 800KB. When I wanted to put two pictures in one page I had to be careful to crop them properly so they would show what I wanted. The window wouldn't adjust the pictures to fit. For unknown reason some pictures big enough wouldn't be accepted and only white window appeared.
Are there some competitive Calendar publishers which would use pictures from iPhoto? $20 for a Calendar 10x8 is pretty steep. We'll see how's the quality of the print.

If Keith's suggestion doesn't work try this:
Backup the library and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.

BB Q10. Conclusions of the first week experience

Hey there,
I have moved from OS7 device to BB Q10 a week ago and here are my first brief conclusions (mostly for those who are yet considering of the purchase)
good stuff:
- the device looks good itself and it is completely not slippery;
- I do like the new screen;
- the OS 10 interface is interesting to me;
- the camera is good;
- BB voice messaging is supported over your carrier's network;
- the browser works very fast (even though I use that rarely);
- the battery is enough for one busy day;
- there is a good Skype installed (however see also the notes below);
terrible stuff:
- BIS is no longer supported (well, someone might reckon this as an advantage; I say that there must always be a choice - either I use BIS or don't use it with my new device);
- my gmail & yahoo imap free accounts hang up regularly on wifi when I come from network carrier to a place where I am connected to wifi (the wifi is always on and I have enough places saved in my device memory); when I enter my account settings it says i.e.. "The server imap.gmail.com for account XXX is not responding. The server name in your account settings might be incorrect, or the server might be temporarily offline. Check your settings to make sure the server name is correct and try again." I either restart device or switch off and on wifi so that it would resume for a while. With my carrier's network the email works fine.
- there is no Russian text input by translit (see http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Q10/Russian-language-input-translit/m-p/2442771#M3...); I had to engrave my keyboard with Russian letters for the first time for the last 6 years, luckily I was in Russia for a while; all those who use Russian language with their BB device for now can't normally use that as long as they are outside of Russia (where you could engrave it for a modest fee).
stuff to be improved:
- it is not that easy to copy saved numbers from your contacts (you shall open editing and then copy it out of there);
- it is not possible to paste the saved numbers in Skype (you shall thus develop your memory );
- the birthday details from the contact list are not linked to a calendar (the question is then what is that data stored for?) - I have already skipped one birthday because of that;
- there is no percentage of remaining batter on the top screen (you can only find that through settings);
- whatsup is not integrated into the BB hub;
- there is no Viber application for OS 10;
- the choice of sounds to set up is extremely poor;
- the OS 10 with its applications hang couple of times a day (either buttons on the screen are not responding or the power button does not dim the screen or smth similar take place);
- when I read a message in hub it remains unread and it becomes marked as read only upon reviewing in particular mail folder.
My overall conclusion is that the device with the new OS 10 is completely raw and flawed. I feel myself like a volunteer tester whereas I do not like such a role when paying a full price for a product that is considered as good and is widely distributed on a market. Such a new marketing approach of Blackberry would do no good for their success in a future.
I would seriously advice NOT TO TRUST even respectful brand and read open source info prior to a purchase

Yeah the BB9900 worked excellent! I still have faith in BB but my faith is wandering after all this waiting.
I'm sure BLACKBERRY is monitoring all this and reporting it to management whereby they're aware and putting the mandate to their software development team to remedy all these glitches before bad news travels too extensively.
I was amazed that the T-Mobile Rep's from 2 different nearby stores were telling me the same message (they didn't recommend BB10 due to customer complaints and software issues. This along is enough to sink BB having all these rep's discouraging customers from buying BB phones. Where are the BB Dealer Rep's when you need them?
I told the rep's that regardless of the current BB10 issues, that all the other BB phones and software work flawlessly, and that the network was stable, dependable and secure. One rep told me they just don't have any feed back or much interaction with BB dealer reps. If I was a BB Dealer Rep. I'd be in each T-Mobile store twice a week giving them updates, testimonials and giving my phone number out to customers who come in and have additional questions, which the store rep's cant answer. That's what these BB Rep's should be doing...being advocates for BB.
I don't think the BB Dealer Rep's are doing much, if any thing other than collecting a pay check. These issues I imagine will be resolved within 30-45 days. If not, I'm sure they'll lose more than just stock prices falling.
As a Crackberry addict my fingers are crossed for Blackberry and that it recovers from all this whereby it becomes the powerhouse it once was for so many years.

Help needed: My first AddOn experiences.

Hi all,
I try to develop a special AddOn for our Item-Management (Better Item-Description, Item-Images, Cross-Selling, and so on...).
I don't have many experiences in DI/UI-API, UDO/UDF and User Tables, nevertheless I want to develop the AddOn.
For demonstration purposes, I developed the whole system using Java and MySQL and now its time make this work in SAP Business One.
Of course I read the documentations and Help-Files how to create User Tables, UDF and UDO and I made some practices (e. g. connecting to the companies database using DI with several languages (VB, C# and the of course the JCO-DI-API).
So far, and now to my problem:
I need several special Tables. Nearly all with an auto-incremented ID Field. Is this possible? If not, is it ok to work directly inside the MS-SQL Database using the Management-Studio? And how can I link tables, if there is no identifier?
Are there other ways to develop AddOns, than using the internal user-defined methods?
And last but not least: Is there a way to communicate in my mother-language (german), are there some german-places? In most cases, it is much easier for me to explain problems in german. Have you seen "Babel" with Brat Pitt
Ok that's it! Thanks for your help.
Regards, David

Hi David
>I need several special Tables. Nearly all with an auto-incremented ID Field. Is this possible?
This is not possible.. You will need to create some auto-number code for the Code/Name fields in the UDTs
You can use code like this to do so, but drawback is of cause that it is slower than Autonumbers
DECLARE @next VARCHAR(8)
SET @next = (SELECT CAST(CAST(MAX(CODE) AS INT)+1 AS VARCHAR) FROM [@BOY_B1P_AFVIGELSER])
WHILE(DATALENGTH(@next)) <8
BEGIN
SET @next = '0'+@next
END
SELECT @next
>If not, is it ok to work directly inside the MS-SQL Database using the Management-Studio? And how can I link tables, if >there is no identifier?
No, this is not permitted by SAP Support
>Are there other ways to develop AddOns, than using the internal user-defined methods?
I know a few of the older add-ons have created their own tables but this is actually not allowed and you wil not be able to get your addon certified. Alternative you could create your own database along side the SAP database to hold all your tables, but it give a lot of additional work and does not work with Userdefined Objects
>And last but not least: Is there a way to communicate in my mother-language (german).
I think you are "stuck" in here... Pretty much all SDK related things are at the SDN

I can't get the intial sync done. It says it cannot find many songs and then stops. Horrible first Apple experience! Help please.

My first taste of this Apple is horrible! I cannot do the inital sync successfully. Its gets to the 4th stage of syncing where it is copying songs and tells me there are over 100 songs it cannot find. Why not? They show up in my Itunes media file so why can they not be found? Then the syncing ends with a message "Attempting to copy to the disc "Doug's Ipod" failed. An error occurred while reading from the device"
This is very frustrating.
Thank you for your help.

I recieved an email(gmail) with a jpeg attachement, i can view it but how do I save it to add to a presentation...I just got an ipad 1 and its my first MAC experience s i have a big learning curve. Thanks

help please

This is off the top of my head, but here goes.
I'm assuming you have Keynote on the iPad.
1- in Mail, press and hold on the image. You should see a pop up that'll say something along the lines of "Save Image". Press Save Image
2- As a sanity check, open the Photos app and look under the album/event "camera roll" or 'saved photos' Make sure said photo is there.
3-In Keynote with a preso open, press the little Picture icon in the upper right. From there, choose "media" choose the 'saved photos' or camera roll' album and then the image.

Thanks a lot.

First Book experience. ??

I sent in my order on Oct 13 05. Apple sent me a shipping notification on Oct 17 05. Now it is Nov 04 05 and no book.
They gave me a tracking number but I do not believe that USPS has picked the book up for shipping. This is what their tracking tells me:
The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper or shipping partner on October 17, 2005 to expect your package for mailing. This does not indicate receipt by the USPS or the actual mailing date. Delivery status information will be provided if / when available. No further information is available for this item.
Anyone know what is going on?

Jack,
If I understand USPS correctly, they only update the information after it's actually delivered or if a delivery attempt has been made. It costs extra to track the package like UPS does.
My book came from California to Virginia in 4 days. Could it just be that it takes longer to get to Hawaii?
Good Luck. I hope you get it soon.

I have just bought a brand new iMac plugged it in and nothing, black screen any suggestion, not a great start to my first mac experience

I just bought a new iMac, plugged it in and nothing, black screen any suggestions and the apple support function is no help, real glad I bought the apple care plan and you can only use that if your machine turns on!

If you bought the computer at an Apple Store return it. Let them know you aren't happy about your start in the Mac world. If you bought the computer online and have an Apple Store nearby you can take it there even though you didn't buy it there. Note: if going to an Apple store go online and make an appt with the Genius. Stores tend to be busy so this will give you a time to know you can walk in and pretty quickly get attention. Just walking in with a dead computer you may have to wait a while.
No Apple store nearby? No problem, call AppleCare and they'll take care of you. Ask for expedited return & shipment and again, let the technician know you are new to the Apple world and not happy. The last time I brought home a dead computer I not only got a replacement right away but I got an Apple gift card for my inconvenience.

My first photobook experience was an expensive disaster.

I made my wife a 100 page photo book for Xmas and I'm baffled by how bad a lot of the pictures looked. I did some research prior to making it, to make sure that I got the most out of it. I carefully touched up and adjusted many of the pictures and spent a long time getting it all organized. When I got it back from Apple, I was STUNNED at how badly it looked. When A/B'ing the pictures I sent vs. the pictures in the book, many times there is NO comparison.
For instance, on one picture of my son's hospital baby picture, I had touched it up so that his skin looked perfect, and the contrast was just right. The picture in the book shows every single blemish, has tons of red shading all over his face, etc. And on many of the pictures, this is the case. Our skin looks red and flushed, the slightest pimple looks like leprosy! It looks like someone put white bad stage make up on our faces, etc. I just can't believe it. I even tried to duplicate the problem in iPhoto by slamming the contrast, etc and I can't. I have no clue how my awesome images could looks so bad.
That being said, some of the images look really good. They look as they should at least. I just can't figure out how some images of the same resolution could turn out great, while others looks completely different.
This book cost me just over $100, and I can almost bet that I'm stuck with it. It's so bad that I'm toying with the idea of having another vendor print it up, and tossing this one. These are precious memories stored in book form that we will hopefully have forever, and to always have to explain why the images looks so poorly every time someone looks at it, isn't something I particularly want to do.
Any advice? I could scan some of these pix from the book, and upload them along with the pix I actually uploaded if it helps.
Thanks!
Jason

I emailed Apple yesterday via the form, and without question of hesitation they refunded my money! $125! I was shocked. I'm happy they did. However, I would love to know how to avoid this in the future. Why on some pictures my face looks super red, when it shouldn't... or why my baby's face looks rashy in the book, when I touched it up and got rid of that stuff, is beyond me. I'd REALLY like to know how to avoid this next time. I expect some kind of difference between actual photos, and what's printed. But not to the point where my origs look great, yet the book has our faces look like we have bad stage make up on them, or super red, or every single blemish stand out like a sore thumb. I will say that there are many other pictures that turned out just fine, and I edited them no differently.
Very strange.
I may do a guinea pig test on some of the ones that I know looked like crap, have a book done via Apple of just a couple pages, then have the same one done by MyPublisher to compare. I may also send modified, and unmodified pictures of same shots too. I shouldn't have to spend a bunch of money to figure out what is causing it, but I might have to spend SOME anyway.
Thanks!
Jason

Re making your calendar for the first time

Hi, I am having a little trouble figuring just how to create my first calendar using photos from my i photo library. I know that it most likely is a relatively simple process, but in as I am a first timer, I would be most grateful for any and all advice on how to create a calendar from start to finish using my photos. I must admit sometimes I have difficaulty understanding and putting together in my head what the instructions are trying to convey to the reader, so your patience will be much appreciated. You may if you wish, email me at ****@*****.** with your advice or assistance. Thank you so much for your time and patience.
<Edited by Moderator>

Select a group of photos that you want in your calendar ( you can always add more later by dragging them from the iPhoto event window on the right to the Calendar album on the left) and click calendar in the tool bar at the bottom (if it is not there go to the view menu ==> show in toolbar and check it)
You will thereby create a calendar project in the source pane to the left and open it - select a theme and start dragging photos where you want them in the calendar
Once it is like you want it click buy
Or do it the easy way and use the online Apple Tutorial - http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto-gifts-14

Not a great first experience - what are my options?

i just had FIOS instlaled on 9/16...I switched from comcast.
by the end of the second day I had 3 issues:
1) one of the set top boxes (1 of 3) just didn't work..the whole installation took about 6 hours. I assume this is something that should be checked before the technician leaves? - I called and they are drop shipping me another box
2) the channels the salesman told me I'd get were not the ones i received - meaning there are less than expected - I called about this and the rep told me there is nothing he can do. The order says this so you get this. It was like he really didn't care at all if I had a good first use experience with Verizon. I feel like I did something wrong since I didn't get it in writing when I was on the phone - but I definitely feel like i was overpromised.
3) I hosted a webex conference call today and my new FIOS internet kicked me off about 4 times in 4 hours - which stops the meeting for everyone. The speed appears to be identical to Comcast, but the high frequency of drops is unexpected. is this normal?
I haven't returned my Comcast boxes yet and am considering switching back. Any advice?
thanks -
Adam

That's the problem with this company...what they tell you and what you get are two different things. One company is bad, the other is worse. I can't wait for "someone" to show up and end this monopoly.

2.1 iPhone Calendar does not sync with iCal

iPhone 3G 2.1, MacbookPro Leopard 10.5.5, iTunes 8.0 all upgraded this week.
Now, entries that I make from the iPhone will not sync to the iCal, however, entries from iCal syncs to the iPhone just fine. I tried restoring to stock Apple's 2.1 ipsw but it fails to restore every time so I'm stuck with the Pwnaged one I made using Apple's stock 2.1 ipsw and Pwnage 2.1.
Anyone experiences this problem with stock 2.1 or Jailbroken 2.1 ?
Or could it be 10.5.5.'s iCal problem ? (the rss symbol next to my first calendar on iCal is substituted with a warning sign
, and if clicked shows this error: Request encountered an unexpected error (domain AYFTPErrorDomain / code 530).)

Ok,
I figured it out. It is not a bug after all. Somehow I got duplicate calendars in my iCal from multiple backups, so by deleting the duplicates, the original ones appear. So the items been syncing all along, but I just didn't get to see it, since I was looking at the duplicate calendar.

Desktop Manager Crashes During Sync Phase with Notes Calendar

Hello All,
My Destop Software continually crashes at the point of Syncing with Lotus Notes Calendar. Every other part of Syncing with Notes works fine and sometimes I get a partial Sync with the Calendar, but consistently every time it crashes during this part of the process and then I get the Windows error window saying the software has encountered a problem and needs to close. Here are some other facts to help.
I am running V4.7 of the Destop Manager, latest downloaded from this web site.
PC is Win XP Proffesional, 2002 SP2. 3Gb RAM Duo Core 2GH
I have uninstalled/re-installed the Desktop Manager twice
I get other C Runtime errors with Device Manager on a random basis.
I have a BB Storm.
Anything else?
I have emailed the BlackBerry Support but seems to be a Black Hole with no response despite prompting them several times since putting in the email. I am a relatively educated PC user, My laptop is near new, I have many simple and sohpisticated applications installed with a (other than the BB Desptop application) very clean, well maintained and error free operating environment. This is a very disappointing BB first time experience.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
What version of Lotus notes would that be?
Is this is this server based, an island, or standalone Lotus notes?
Are you setup as BES or BIS?

Email (Outlook) calendar issue with P780

I configured my corporate email and sync calendar event. The calendar appointment was not showing in order.
For ex
3PM meeting showing first, 10am meeting showing second, 5pm meeting showing 5th, 8pm meeting shoing third. that means the appointment showing in random order. I have selected Calendar to do list in wiget. It showing wrong time. It adding appx 2.30min more. that means If i have a meeting @ 10:30AM it showing as 1PM. What would be the issue
I checked with few friends who use the same model. They too face the same issue,

I bought a new Lenovo P780 on sunday and after configuring my office email, I too experienced the same problem. The stock calendar application and the widget does not show the correct meeting time and the sequence of the meetings. The look and feel of the widget and the application is very poor.
I then decided to dump the built-in calendar app and downloaded a calendar application from the Google Play store "Cal - Calendar Google/Exchange" beveloped by Any.do and the problem got resolved. This application is amazingly awesome with great user interface and has got an excellent widget. It has ton of feature that no desktop application can provide. I strongly recommend you install this app and have a great calendar experience.

Creating a new calendar

After installing the update that finally brought back the Calendar feature I was really looking forward to create the yearly calendars for christmas.
Unfortunately I have to say that what I faced so far is no way matching what I consider the Mac experience.
1
The first calendar I created I'm trying to delete because there were issues with pictures overlapping.
However after closing and reopening iPhoto it resurrects from the dead. Again and again..
2
When trying to create a new calendar it ended several times being the first one mentioned above
3
The standard layout for a new calendar has overlapping pictures on the January page for every new calendar that I try to create.
When trying to change it by selecting a different layout on the page it only get's worse.
All this makes the feature unusable an unreliable for my purpose.
For me the lesson learnt is that I will wait for the first service pack before upgrading to the next version. Thought this was only valid for other environments.
Any help appreciated on solving point 1 to 3....
Many thanks in advance!

If Keith's suggestion doesn't work try this:
Backup the library and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2 and #6.
