Google for iphone: use CalDAV (IMAP) or Exchange?

When setting up gmail and google calendar accounts on the iphone, you have a few choices in how to set it up. The simplest ones, as I understand, are either as an Exchange account or, by selecting GMail, as a CalDAV (IMAP) account. I don't use gmail a whole lot but I do use shared Google calendars A LOT. So far, I have them set up, but not as Exchange. What am I missing? Just push? The calendars don't change that much and they seem to refresh whenever I open the Calendar app on the iphone. Would the Exchange use more energy?

Exchange is only for use with Microsoft Exchange servers. To my knowledge Google calendars are exclusively CalDAV and should be setup as such. Thats always worked for me.
Cheers.

    Can I create books for iPhone using iBooks Author?

    There is a new $5 iBooks Creator app in iOS app store for the iPad.
    The output looked pretty good for an iPad app.
    There is a video on how to use it to give you an idea of how easy it is.
    It creates ePub 2 whihc can be read on all platforms with an ePub reader except Amazon Kindle whihc forbids such things.
    You can run the ePub through Calibre and get MOIB for Kindle which works for me.
    I have done thirty or forty conversions so far.

  • Creating folios for iphone using a pdf-to-indesign script

    Hello, i need to convert all my magazines to iphone format. Someone can help me with the script using pdf-to-indesign for IPHONE? Or an alternate solution to convert all my magazines (1024 x 768) to Iphone (480 x 320)? Thanks a lot!!

    Working with Derek directly did the trick!
    The difficulty with the script is that it requires everything to be in "alphabetical order." What that means is that when you split the files in Acrobat into individual PDFs, everything needs to be in "alphabetical order" and Acrobat does not do that the way this script requires.
    So Acrobat gives me 1_ISSUE24.pdf, 2_ISSUE24.pdf and if I had 9 pages, that wouldn't be an issue. But I had over 200 pages for a specific issue and when you get to page 10, you're no longer working in alphabetical order if the single page numbers don't have a 0 in front of them.
    So if you have up to 99 pages, make sure every page with a single page number has a 0 in front of it, e.g. 01_ISUEE24.PDF
    If you have up to 999 pages, make sure every page with a single page and double page number has two 0's in front it., e.g. 001_ISSUE24.PDF
    Unless there's a program out there that will automatically put 0s in front of filenames for you, you have to do this manually, which is slightly time consuming. FAR LESS time consuming, however; than re-sizing everything yourself and doing this the old fashioned way with cut and paste, etc. etc. etc.
    So the script is extremely helpful, it's free - you just have to have your page numbers numbered correctly.
    Thank you, Derek, for your time and your help.

  • Eliminating Junk Mail on Iphone using an IMAP mail server

    Hello!
    Doesn't sound like there is a fix for this, but its always worth asking...,
    I currently have my own IMAP email server with my company on an XServe. When I receive mail on my Iphone it bypasses all my post-server junk mail rules on my powerbook Apple Mail app, and loads up my inbox. I don't keep my powerbook on all the time to filter it before I open it on my Iphone, although I do use Apple Mail as my mail client.
    Is there any way to echo the junk mail rules from my Laptop to my Iphone. The volume of junk I receive after makes the Iphone's mail app cumbersome. I also need to filter out web order confirmations for my business, which normally go right to a selected folder using a mail rule.
    Thanks!

    Is there any way to echo the junk mail rules from my Laptop to my Iphone.
    Yes, by leaving the Mail.app on your PowerBook launched and running actively accessing your account for new messages where a junk mail filter and any rules are available. With an IMAP account, all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account. In order for your account accessed with the iPhone's Mail client to have access to the junk mail filter and the rules with the Mail.app on your PowerBook by proxy, you need to leave the Mail.app on your PowerBook launched and running actively accessing the account for new messages while the Mail client on your iPhone is doing the same.
    If you receive that much junk mail with this account, more than likely you have inadvertently added to the problem. Do you have display remote images in HTML messages selected with the Mail.app on your Mac? If so, when a junk message that is not marked as junk when received includes images that must be rendered from a remote server to be viewed and any images are rendered, this confirms to the spammer that your email address is "known good" causing even more spam to be received. Selecting any links included with a junk message will do the same. Selecting a "remove me" link to remove your email address from the spammer's circulation list also does the same.
    Providing your email address publicly for any reason - when making an online purchase, for website access is required, provided when filling out customer information, etc., etc., can cause more spam to be received.
    My primary personal email address is used to exchange email with family and friends only. I never provide this email address publicly for any reason.
    I use a free account with webmail access only for an online purchase and/or to be provided publicly.

  • Add Attendees (name AND phone no.) from Address Book to iCal for iPhone use

    Hello scripting gurus and newbs alike.
    I've looked through the forums, but can't find a COMPLETE solution to what I believe should be a fairly straightforward problem. I'll start by asking the question as concisely as I can, then bring in more information about what I have tried, and learned, so far. I'll also outline my broad (mini) project aims at the end, in case anyone is interested.
    * Q: How can I add attendees, from my Address Book, to an iCal event, so that **ALL** the attendee details are included?
    Note: It is VITAL to me that attendees' phone number(s) are available through iCal, not just {display name, email, participation status}. This is because I want MobileMe to synch the event with my iPhone, so I can call attendees directly from iCal. (or at least have iCal open the attendee's Contacts record so I can call from there!)
    WHY DO I THINK IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE?
    Manually, I can simply dbl-click on the event, click into the attendees field, start typing the attendee name, and hit enter. When I do this, it works. MobileMe synchs it to the iPhone, I open iCal, select the event, tap the attendee, and I'm calling.
    WHAT I'VE TRIED USING APPLESCRIPT
    When I try the following script, I've only managed to set Sheila's name/email/participation status. I can retrieve her phone number from Address Book using the above approach, but unsure how to make it stick in iCal * such that I am able to use it to call directly from iCal on the iPhone *
    ++++++++++++++++++++++
    tell application "Address Book"
    set anAttendee to name of (first person whose name contains "Sheila")
    end tell
    tell application "iCal"
    set newEvent to make new event at end with properties ¬
    {summary:"Meeting Info.", location:"ZIP", description:"More yak", start date:SD, end date:SD + 120 * minutes}
    make new attendee at end of attendees of newEvent with properties {display name:anAttendee}
    end tell
    ++++++++++++++++++++++
    WHERE I'VE LOOKED FOR SIMILAR EXAMPLES
    Thanks to Rob (et al) for providing script examples used to create the above, see here: http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=5692
    I've also looked at the following article, which makes me think I somehow need to use the PERSON ID in the event attendee list. Unfortunately, I have only managed to retrieve the ID, but had no joy trying to set it.
    http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech … index.html
    THE PROJECT
    I'm a surveyor, and using dialog(s) to enter relevant info., I'm looking to streamline my preparation for surveys when I make each new appointment.
    My mini-project presently enables me to print survey forms (based on a Pages template) with details relating to the specific property (address/contact name&no./appointment date&time etc.) It also uses the appointment date&time to create the appropriate event in iCal.
    I'm also confident I can add the contact details, such as agent/owner name(s) and phone number(s) in Address Book.
    IF I COULD ONLY ADD THESE AS ATTENDEE(S), AS IF ADDED MANUALLY, I WOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO PHONE THE PROPERTY OWNERS WITH A COURTEOUS REMINDER WHEN I'M ON THE WAY!!
    Can anyone help me achieve this?
    Here's hoping.
    Phil (wiimixer)

    Phil
    Referencing the attendee in iCal will only directly record the properties you mention - because that's how it's designed to work and there's no way around the restriction unless iCal is changed.
    You could set the phone number elsewhere in the iCal event - e.g. notes, location, ... - and that would probably allow you to call from iCal (I don't have an iPhone so I can't be sure), but I am not sure I see the advantage over using the link to iPhone's Address Book which is set up by adding an attendee to the event. This might be because I am being dense, so if this is the case please elaborate.
    EDIT:
    I have read your original post in more detail since I wrote the above. It seems to me that you are saying that when you add the person to the iCal event via AppleScript that you do not get the link to the iPhone's Address Book when you sync via MobileMe. You imply, however, that it does work when you type the name manually. Are these both correct statements?

  • Creating a Distribution list for iPhone using Outlook

    I use Microsoft outlook for contacts and have multiple "Distribution lists" that I send information to. The DL's are not syncing with my iPhone. I need to send group emails and am having to put each name in individually. Is there a way, using Outlook that I can create a "Distribution list", have it sync with the phone, select that group and send an email to all the contacts on the DL

    My address book groups in the Address Book on my Mac are synced and available on my iPhone, but addressing an email or an SMS to an address book group or distribution list is not supported - at the present time anyway.

  • Best solution for iPhone use in Brazil

    I'll heading to Brazil soon for a visit, and wanted to know what people who have been down there think is solution to use my iPhone 4S there. I'm on AT&T, and my phone was purchased at AT&T, as it is under a business contract (my own business). They offer international roaming there, but it's $2/min which seems ridiculous. Anybody have a less expensive solution? Thanks for the help.

    There is no less expensive solution. Your phone is locked to AT&T, thus it won't work with any other carrier's sim. So, if you want to use your iPhone, while abroad, as a phone or for data, you have no other choice, other than AT&T International Provisioning.
    You have only two other choices: 1. Purchase an officially unlocked iPhone directly from Apple(you can then use local sims) and sell you current phone, or 2. Purchase a pay-as-you-go phone when you get to Brazil.

  • Dissolve transition no longer working in slide show for iPhone using iOS 7.0.6

    The standard slideshow function for still photography in iOS has options for dissolve wipe across, wipe down, Ripple and Cube; however, dissolve & the two wipe transitions immediately switch from one photo to the other without a gradual transition. Apple: an iOS upgrade is needed to fix this, please.

    Similar problem for me, twice now all my contacts have gone.
    First time was a couple of months ago and they came back by themselves after half hour!!!
    (what are those numbers going playing around like children? )
    This time it was a major problem as I was traveling and needed to contact a person urgently.
    Also the Calendar appeared empty and I needed to check the coming appointment for the morning.
    I was able to recover going inside iCloud settings and disable the synch for contacts and calendar.
    Shout off the phone. Switch on the iPhone and then setting again ON the iCloude synch for contacts and calendar. After few minutes they did come back.
    I don't know if there are numbers missing. It doesn't appear so.
    But the problem has been very frustrating and created major problem even if for just half day.
    Dear Apple,
    is it possible to solve the issue and avoid that it will happen again?
    I was assuming that once my numbers are on the phone, they are not cancelled unless specifically asked.
    Thanks.
    Best regards,
    Giuseppe

  • Creating a ringtone for iPhone using Garageband 3.0.4?

    Is this possible?
    I have just created a 25 Second track, and shared with my iTunes. However, I cannot move it to my ringtones folder?
    It's saved by default as (.aif) in iTunes, I have converted it to AAC (.m4a) but still will not go into my ringones folder.
    Can anything be done? I'm in the UK and ringtones have not been launched for purchase on iTunes yet.

    Turn the .m4v suffix to .m4r.
    (And search the iPhone forum for "ringtones", you get very detailed instructions there, rather than in this forum.)
