HotSync works for backup, but addresses/contacts don't show on Desktop Palm

Hey Folks,
I have recently moved over to the Mac platform (love it, btw) from a PC (Windows XP). I have spent a while scouring over the forum notes and have not found an answer to my problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Here it is: I have a Tungsten E, and use Docs to Go as the only 3rd party app. I installed the Palm Desktop 4.2.1 for Mac. I performed a Hotsync sucessfully, as well as, had the Docs to Go install an expense XLS and sync that perfectly. The problem is when I go to view the contacts and addresses that have been backed up to the Mac from the Palm Tungsten - they are not there. I have checked the Users. I have changed the users. I have created a new user, and deleted the old - then I re-sync-d the palm again and had the Desktop software re-create my username. When I pull up a Finder window and I see the information that is backed up. I cannot get the Desktop software to "see" my contact/address information. All settings and paths are set for the default. I am getting really frustrated at this point, as this is the only reason that I have to mess the PC world anymore. Is there something that I am just being stupid about? Shouldn't I just be able to move the data in the Palm from one desktop to another ?
Thanks for looking into it, in advance.

My system stats are:
MacBookPro OS 10.5.6
Palm Desktop: 4.2.1
PC: XP SP2

As a long-time Palm and PC user who recently switched to Mac, I can relate to your frustration. I'm sorry to tell you that many of the capabilities we took for granted on the PC desktop are broken or changed on the Mac. A partial list:
Records don't sync (as you describe). I found that if I open an individual address record that has, for example, a phone number in the email field, the opened data entry box has the correct information in the correct field.
There is no password security on the desktop. On the handheld, you can choose to show, mask, or hide records that are marked private, and you can assign and require a password to unhide those records. There is no password capability on the desktop. You can "hide" private records, but it's like a kid covering his eyes with his hands and thinking no one sees him.
The Help feature doesn't work. You get a glimpse of a help page but then it disappears and you're left with a page that says "Internet connection required."
And, my favorite: The Note that is part of a Contacts record has been disassociated. Those Notes are now stored as Memos. On the desktop you can find the Note by clicking on the paperclip icon. But if you create the Address record and a Note on the desktop, they won't retain their relationship on the handheld. I.e., you can't get to the Note from the Contact record on the handheld. You can do a linear search through the Memos to find it.
There are many more such annoyances. I imagine that when faced with all the possibilities that Unix/Leopard permitted, it was hard for the designers and developers not to take advantage of them. I appreciate that there are more possibilities with the new desktop environment, but they should have been left to another release, with an upgrade path spelled out. As it is, the Palm desktop on the Mac is useless. I'm now trying to figure out if I can get my Palm handheld contacts, including Notes, into the Apple Address Book.
If anyone has solutions that I've missed, I'd be happy to retract my expression of disappointment. And, G-Manmac, I wish you the best of luck.

I bought a new external hard drive for backups, but time machine won't do a full back up. I think it is remembering backing up onto previous external hard drives, which I don't own anymore. How do I do a new full backup?

I think it is remembering backing up onto previous external hard drives, which I don't own anymore. How do I do a new full backup?
When I bought the new (used) iMac, I also bought an external hard drive for backups. It worked fine, but my husband stole it.
Then I bought a new external hard drive (Seagate) and it worked fine for three weeks, then died.
So I just got a new external hard drive, which was put together from an internal hard drive and a hard drive enclosure.
Time machine did the first backup today, and it should have taken 9 hours like it did on the previous first time full back up. Instead, it took 30 minutes. That can't be right. I want to start over and do a full backup to make sure everything gets onto my new external hard drive, but I can't figure out how to do that. Please help.

Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
tmutil compare -E
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
Added:
Removed:
Changed:
These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.

Why does iMessage only work for some of my contacts?

Having problems with iMessage. It will work for some of my contacts but not others. And those people arre having the same problem, works with other people but not me.. Anyone dealt with this?

1. Both devices have to be running iOS 5.*
2. Internet latency can delay iMessage connection. If you enabled "Send as SMS", the phone will switch to SMS if iMessage doesn't connect quickly. If you disable Send as SMS, more of your messages will go through as iMessage.

Album Art works for most, but not all

I was reading previous forums on the subject, but no clear answer was given..
The album art shows up fine in itunes and my library and works for most of my music on my ipod, but how come some album's art does appear? I have it set manually and select 'Get Info' then 'Artwork' and add it from there, then drag in the finished product to my ipod. I've been doing that and it works fine for most of the albums, but every so often, the album art will not appear on my ipod. Am I doing something wrong? I take them all from the same source (amazon.com) but it makes no sense to me how some randomly don't appear.
I tried deleting the artwork and re-adding it, but nothing happened again. If you could answer why it works for most but not all or how I can get the album art to appear for the ones it will not by re-doing something, it would be appreciated. thanks.

I encountered the same problem in the beginning. When I compared the size of the original images, the working ones seemed to be smaller in general, so I reduced the size of all covers I intended to upload on the pod to 300x300 pixels.
This seemed to work - for 2 days. I bought the pod on friday, had pictures on sunday, but on Monday (after the first time the pod was fully discharged) none were left left.
So I ended searching this forum for related problems...
And decided to join my problem to this entry.

Motion tracking is not working for videos but works for images?

Motion tracking is not working for videos but works for images. When the videos is drop onto the tracking object the videos corner don't appear highlighted. I am working on windows 7 with version 13.1.

ivanhoeeurope
Are you within 30 days of purchase for the Premiere Elements 13? And, did you purchase as a download from Adobe? If so, you can
apply for a return/refund for 13. If you purchased elsewhere, then you would be governed by the return/refund policy of the seller.
Adobe no longer sells version 12, so you would have to find a vendor who still has it in stock and purchase it. There is no way to "downgrade"
13 to 12.
What you may want to do is to download and install the Premiere Elements 12 tryout from the following web site to verify that 12 Motion
Tracking works for you; whereas 13 cannot with regard to use of video for the Motion Tracking source media.
Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
Apparently this web site does not sell the tryout. It just makes it available for use.
Before I posted my reply to you I looked at Motion Tracking with video source media on both Premiere Elements 12/12.1 and 13/13.1 on the same Windows 7 64 bit computer.
If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Can i have a seperate icoud account for backup , but use my families apple id ?

can i have a seperate icoud account for backup , but use my families apple id ?

if the backup is being done from a seperate device, it will show up in the icloud settings as a different backup.
lets say your sister has an iphone backed up to icloud and so do you. you just got a new ipad and you want to download all the stuff on you phone to it, no problem. it would come up as a seperate backup.

Iphone says not enough free icloud storage for backup, but shows 2.3GB free. Why?

People picker is not working for ie11 but working fine for other lower version

i am using sharepoint 2010 and windows authentication
recently i have updated my ie to ie11 and problem goes here.
when i try to select from people picker, there are an unexpected error happened
however when i use other ie version, people picker work fine, what goes wrong?
i have already added my system as trusted site
if there any others thing i miss out?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that People picker is not working for ie11 but working fine for other lower version.
IE 11 is known to have compatibility issues on SharePoint 2010, please make sure to:
first of all, try installing latest update for IE 11 (several compatibility issues were fixed since the first release)
add the site to compatibility view (in IE> Tools> Compatibility view settings> type site name> add)
add the site to trusted sites and set the zone security level to low (in IE> Internet Options> Security> trusted sites> sites>add your site there> ok> custom level> select low> reset> ok)
You can use developer tools (f12) and set browser mode to the version that is most compatible with your environment.
Best Regards,

My sound works for music but not apps

My sound works for music but not apps

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

S/MIME lookup works for ActiveSync, but not OWA.

Hi,
I posted this a while back and it still stands. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1f16aabc-da7e-40a5-9a2d-f584e3bbf5de/owa-2013-an-error-occurred-while-signing-this-smime-message-no-certificate-was-found?forum=exchangesvrgeneral
However, I found that SMIME seems to have been working all along. From one mobile, I'm able to encrypt and send, and the other I'm able to encrypt and send. Both mobiles decrypt using their respective certificates. Why would this work for
ActiveSync, but OWA simply cannot lookup the user's certificate or tells me no certificates were found for recipients. Are they matching different criteria somehow? I know that the user definitely has a valid certificate for the fact that ActiveSync
is able to retrieve the public keys.

Hi,
To allow OWA sending and receiving S/MIME-protected messages. We need to use the
Set-SmimeConfig cmdlet to manage this feature through the Exchange Management Shell interface.
Based on the S/MIME settings for OWA in that thread, the value of
OWAAlwaysEncrypt parameter is false. The OWAAlwaysEncrypt
parameter specifies whether all outgoing messages are automatically encrypted in Outlook Web App. The
OWAAllowUserChoiceOfSigningCertificate parameter specifies whether to allow users to select the certificate to use when they digitally sign email messages in Outlook Web App.
Please try to use the following cmdlet to enable it
Set-SmimeConfig – OWAAlwaysEncrypt $true – OWAAllowUserChoiceOfSigningCertificate $true
Best Regards.

SQL*Plus variable assignment works for 8i but not 9i

We have scripts that connect to each database on the box and perform database tasks nightly. The scripts first set the environment then connects to each database with SQL*Plus. This works for 8i but fails in the recently created 9i environment. (Unix Solaris environment)
Because the SQL*Plus connection appears in many areas in the scripts, we assign the following connection string to a variable:
SQLPLUS="/usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus -s 'xxx/xxxxxx@xxxx as sysdba'"
Export SQLPLUS
echo "$SQLPLUS"
(This echo out correctly: /usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus -s 'xxx/xxxxxx@xxxx as sysdba')
It fails when the script calls the assigned variable:
$SQLPLUS <<-EOF
with the following error:
Usage: SQLPLUS [ [<option>] [<logon>] [<start>] ]
where <option> ::= -H | -V | [ [-L] [-M <o>] [-R <n>] [-S] ]
<logon> ::= <username>[<password>][@<connect_string>] | / | /NOLOG
<start> ::= @<URI>|<filename>[.<ext>] [<parameter> ...]
"-H" displays the SQL*Plus version banner and usage syntax
"-V" displays the SQL*Plus version banner
"-L" attempts log on just once
"-M <o>" uses HTML markup options <o>
"-R <n>" uses restricted mode <n>
"-S" uses silent mode
However, if I remove the SQLPLUS variable assignment and changed all occurrence of
$SQLPLUS <<-EOF to
/usr/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus -s 'xxx/xxxxxx@xxxx as sysdba' <<-EOF
Then the script runs successfully. But this solution is cumbersome.
Any ideas as to how to have the script work with assigning the SQLPLUS variable????
Any help is appreciated.

I has an immediate suspicion it might be related to the issue
mentioned in
http://otn.oracle.com/support/tech/sql_plus/htdocs/sub_var2.html#2_7
but this proved wrong: the SP2-306 still occurs in the latest
SQL*Plus.
I wonder what version of 8i you had working? With an old SQL*Plus
8.1.7.0 my connection failed the same as in 9.2 and 10i.
My solution was to do:
SQLPLUS='sqlplus -s'
UNPW='/ as sysdba'
$SQLPLUS "$UNPW" <<EOF
EOFThis worked in 9.2.0.5, 10.1.0.2 and 8.1.7.0.
One common security risk on UNIX remains: putting the username and
password on the command line. On some systems a "ps" command will
show the password to any user. If OS authentication cannot be used
for connection, perhaps putting the username/password in the SQL
script may be more secure?
A final note is that in SQL*Plus 10g, no quotes are needed around
AS SYSDBA, i.e.
sqlplus / as sysdba works from the OS prompt, whereas in 9.2 you need to do
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"This makes a solution easy:
SQLPLUS="/usr/oracle/product/10.1.0/bin/sqlplus -s xxx/xxxxxx@xxxx as sysdba"-- CJ
