Has anyone managed to get icloud to synchronise properly with outlook calendar?

I have an iphone 5 and am running outlook 2010 on windows 7 32 bit.
I can get icloud to do the intial upoload of the calendar but then after that it won't synchronise new calendar entries.
The phone and icloud syc, but icloud won't sync with outlook whether the entry is put in outlook or in icloud.
I have spoken with Apple support and over many weeks have de-installed and re-installed icloud several times.
I have sent various diagnostiocs and screen shots.
The icloud outlook addin does not appear in the outlook add-ins section, although I can see what might be the add-in sitting on the c drive in the apple folder.
Support have also told me that there is no way to download the icloud add-in seperately.
Apple support are now telling me that I need to de-install and re-install outlook to try and get the add-in to install correctly.
That would be a real pain and I can see on this forum that other people have already tried that without success.
They also say that if that doesn't work I will need to completely re-install the OS.
I don't think they know what the problem is and are just trying anything that might work.
I really don't want to lose all my business data from outlook and certainly don't want to trash my whole PC.
Has anyone any idea where the problem might be?
Many thanks

Do I gather by the lack of answers that nobody has?

Has anyone managed to get an iPhone to work with BoostMobile?

I've wanted an iPhone for years now but don't feel it will be made available through Boost for purchase so I'm looking for options to somehow make it happen. BoostMobile uses the Sprint/Nextel networks for its customers. I like having no contract and unlimited everything, and I worked my way through the shrinkage program down to $35.00 a month. Any suggestions on how to make this happen would be extremely helpful. Thanks.

If I read your question correctly you want to buy an iPhone unlocked without a contract? If you do go here http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone/iphone4s and select "Or get iPhone unlocked and contract-free"

Has anyone managed to get an XA datasource working with Oracle?

In Sun j2sdkee 1.3.1 you must use XA-Datasources when you are using more than one
datasource in one transaction. So I declared my Oracle datasource to be a XA-Datasource.
The container is able to load and initlialize the Oracle XADataSource clasess. But when I first try to
open a connection with getConnection() I get an Exception:

I'm using classes12.zip from Oracle 9i (which supports jdk1.3.x) and an Oracle 8.1.6 database server.
Is there anything I have to configure on the database server? The JAVA_XA package is installed on the
server.
Thanks for any help
Helmut

I used classes12.jar with a 9.2 database without any problems. JDBC calls, XA Datasources as well as CMP calls worked fine.
I think the ojdbc14.jar is required for use with a 1.4 JDK.
Of course, there might be features in 9.1 that might require the new jar.
Just mentioning that the jar did not pose me problems. Adding this information so it might help the OP narrow down the source of error.

Has anyone managed to get a 3TB dynamic disk on Windows 2003 Server?

I just got a pair of new 3TB disks that I wanted to put on my Windows 2003 server enterprise x64 system, SP2, all updates installed.
When I first tried to convert to dynamic, I got the error "The operation did not complete" as described in this KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826823
It says there is a patch, but there is not one for x64, just x86 and ia64
I found another technet discussion here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverfiles/thread/cb62238c-b3d0-4989-b45a-ae6de6701a7b?stoAI=10
However its best suggestion is to use a product from AOMIE, but I tried that and it didn't even recognize the disk. It also suggests that one needs a better version of diskpart.exe and to try to the 32 bit version. Anyone have any experience
with that?
I also tried creating moving the disk to Windows 7 x64, making it dynamic there, but when I move the disk back to 2K3 it does not recognize it, and goes back to a 2TB partition. I also saw something about needing a 512 block size for 2K3, but W7 does
not allow anything smaller than 1K.

Hi,
During my research, if found the following artcle which also mentioned a 3TB disk should be supported in Windows 2003 SP1:
Has anyone managed to get a 3TB dynamic disk on Windows 2003 Server?
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverfiles/thread/a720ae72-0c04-44dd-94c0-2e6aecce530e
So I contact the author about this issue. He said it could be caused if your hard disk is a 512e drive as the 3TB drives on the market today are normally 512e drives.
However manufacturers stopping identifying this, and if the controller is old, FSUtil will not able to identify a 512 drive but recognized it as a normal 512n drive.
Thus please provide the drive model so we could search on manufacturer's website for exact information.
Also please paste the screenshot in your reply which Satish mentioned if available.

Has anyone managed to get a PS3 Controller to work with OSX Lion?

Hi,
I wanted to connect my PS3 controller to my iMac (late 2011) using bluetooth but have been unable to do so. It will connect for a brief time but then it will lose connect as it has not paired. It also asks me for a pairing code. I have tried 0000 and this does not work. I have searched the internet and it seems this is a common issue. Has anyone managed to get it working?
Does anyone know if Apple plan to fix the issue with a forthcomming update?
Cheers,

There are numerous threads on this, please use the "More Like this" tool, you will find it on the right. I'm not sure if anyone has any solutions but that is the logical place to start.

Has anyone managed to get HP Warranty Information into SCCM?

Has anyone managed to get HP Warranty Information into SCCM?
I have tried a few scripts that I found on the net but none of them seem to work as I believe HP updated there site this year..

OK, I played around a bit (scripting from a web page isn't way beyond me) but... a few caveats. My lab isn't available right now; so all I could test was that the script ran on an HP laptop. A single HP laptop. and created the regkeys in
(in my case) HKLM\software\wow6432node\CompanyName\WarrantyInformation. So... one single test on one single workstation, and no testing of the mof edit means... I'll need your help to confirm it works.
Anyway, below is the script. Other caveats: It drops a log, and then continuously adds to the log file in %temp% (of the SYSTEM, which is using %windir%\temp). So depending upon what you want/need--you may want to change the EnableLogging
= True to EnableLogging = False (once you confirm it works on all/most of your boxes). The other caveat, of course, is to change the sCompanyname = to be your Company Name; although I suggest you don't have spaces or special characters in it. Short
'n' sweet. Then, naturally, once you have a box with the regkeys, use Mark Cochrane's RegKeytoMof 3.0 or higher to build the mof edits for you to paste to the bottom of your configuration.mof and sms_def.mof. In that blog above Eric Schloss was
using DCM as the delivery method to deliver the script to populate the regkeys--that worked for him and I see no reason it wouldn't work for everyone--so once you've tested the script interactively from a psexec -s -i cmd.exe shell on an hp box (to see it
create the regkeys) I'd make a DCM like Eric did and target a collection with a few HP laptops or desktops and confirm it works via the DCM.
Anyway, give this a try--again... only tested on 1 single, lonely little HP laptop. Needs a bigger test base!
Edit: and... even using Regkeytomof sometimes regkeys can be tricky. If the mof edit doesn't work right to pull the data back, post what you've added. someone here can usually spot if there's something not right about it and help you fix
the mof edit.
Edit #2: removed bad space, and bad copy/paste job as discovered by sevengs. Thanks!

Has anyone managed to get play count/last played to sync?

I can live with the podcasts being borked, it's prompted me to use an app (hello iCatcher!) which I had been planning to do for a while. I'm still learning its ways, but it feels a lot more comfortable already.
The thing that I absolutely cannot understand is how ratings, playcount and last played times are not synchronising. I've a number of smart playlists based on these attributes and I haven't been able to get them to sync up since I enabled Match on my iPhone.
So I've got an iPhone which I sync with iTunes on a Mac. Everything's patched up to the latest version.
Has anyone successfully had any successful syncs? The smart playlists are just a joke - I'd expect the track listings to be comparable between devices, but they just aren't.
This is a beta product which some glaring functionality holes. How Apple can think it's worth paying for is beyond me. The smart playlist functionality has been working seamlessly for years on iTunes ... but it's broken. And I paid for the product that broke it. I'm feeling very let down.

I haven't managed to get any playcount, ratings etc to sync. There are so many issues with this version of iTunes Match I cannot believe Apple released it.
The order of tracks in playlists doesn't match iTunes on my Mac, selecting a folder of playlists in iTunes on my iPhone hangs the phone and sometimes crashes it, metadata doesn't sync, some albums are split into 2, etc.
Looking forward to an update soon.

Has ANYONE managed to get OS2 working with WiFi and bridge?

I've scoured the forum, and tried everything - right now, its a cute, flat paperweight.

I have!
If you are having the same problems as me, on update, I had no wifi connections at all - didn't find a single one, despite the area being overrun with wifi networks.
Connect your paperweight, I mean, Playbook, to the Desktop Software, take a backup, then do a security swipe and reset the whole thing.
With mine, as soon as it came back on after the swipe the wifi was working correctly.
I re-connected it to the Desktop Software, accepted any updates it was offering, then restored my backup from this morning.
Hey presto! A fully functioning Playbook!
Good luck!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With that error message ("Invalid ID"), I find nothing useful in the public KBs. I suspect that there is quite a bit more to the message, and of course successfully searching depends on accurate search criteria...so you might want to use the exact and complete error message and search for yourself:

You also might want to consider upgrading to the current version and/or completely starting over cleanly. I suggest this thread:

It starts with a process for cleanly starting over, and there is some discussion, and there is also a post (15) with links to older Desktop Software versions, if those are needed. Note that this is not, by any means, guaranteed to work...but it has worked for many to resolve issues they are having.
Good luck!

Has anyone managed to deploy Acrobat Pro 9.0 for Mac through ARD?

Has anyone managed to get Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 for Mac to deploy with any level of reliability through tools such as Apple Remote Desktop?
The main CS3 apps are "better", if still kludgy to deploy somewhat silently, but every time I've tried to get Acrobat Pro 9.0 to deploy, it steadfastly refuses to do so without demanding admin access on at least the first launch, and insisting on running the Updater in the process, which is completely unacceptable.
I should say that I've looked at their Adobe Acrobat deployment site (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/solutions/it/), and it's entirely useless for the Mac version.
Why do Adobe make this so hard?

Okay, I think I've figured this out.
* On a clean machine (ie: no Adobe software), install Adobe Acrobat Pro
* Run Acrobat. Insert license code. Allow it to "selfheal". Quit.
* Run Distiller. Allow it to "selfheal". Quit.
* Edit AcroEFGPro90.plist and AcroEFGDist90.plist which can be found in Contents > MacOS within the Acrobat and Distiller apps respectively.
* Change the "Requires" tags from "YES" to "NO" for all the file resources.
* Copy these to plist files into /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/ and overwrite the ones that are already there.
* Run Acrobat and Distiller again. Allow "selfheal" if prompted. Quit.
* Run again. Quit.
* Build a Mac OS X installer package of the following:
/Applications/Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0
/Applications/Utilites/Adobe Utilities
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/
/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet*
/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.*
/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet*
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/Adobe*
/Library/Printers/PPDs/.../.../.../ADPDF9.PPD (one per language)
/Users/Shared/Adobe
/usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf900
* After you've built the package, go through the Acrobat application bundle and find cupshup.pl. Copy it into the Resources folder of the installer package, and rename it to "postflight" (this gets the installer to configure the PDF printer).
* Distribute through ARD.
* Grab com.adobe.* from ~/Library/Preferences
* Distribute the com.adobe.* files to all users; the .plist files can be done through Workgroup Manager, however com.adobe.118.registration must be copied as-is into the user folder, rather than being injected via MCX or the defaults command or any other method, as it's not a plist.
Dear Adobe,
MAKE THIS SIMPLER.
Your Friend,
etc...

By partly working I mean the whole A4 scan did not work, it would capture a quarter of the page and blank the rest out.
I'm not sure if the error was with the hardware or software. I remember I used it via Gimp and I think it was on Ubuntu 6.04
I just gave up. There are so many working brands out there, Lexmark just isn't one of them.

Has anyone managed to get icloud to synchronise properly with outlook calendar?
