How can I get iCal working for me? Is Server the way??? Really need help he

Hi,
I made an earlier post, but nobody wanted to reply Here goes again.
New photography business. My wife uses a MacPro tower, I use a MacBook Pro, and we have a spare Powerbook sitting doing nothing.
1. We want to access and edit the same iCal calendar.
2. We want to be able to put it online - but not critical as yet.
3. We want to sync 2 iPhones.
So, if money were not the issue, what is the ideal solution? Is it putting Leopard Server on one of the machines? (would the old PowerBook do the job in the background?)
Is CalDAV the way to go, something I know absolutely nothing about? I suppose I am so confused about which direction to head in I am hoping someone will point me.
I will happily get Server if that is better, but is it?
Looking forward to an enlightening reply.
Hugh

If money were no object, then an Xserve with it's bundled Mac OS X Server unlimited would be the way to go. But, in the server genre, an intel-powered Mac mini with Mac OS X Server 10 client is far more cost effective. In combination with SoftRaid, a matching external FireWire or USB-2 external drive in mirrored mode, a spare power adapter, and spare 2.5 and 3.5 bare drives matching these creates an almost bulletproof but inexpensive server setup.
You might even find the Xserve solution particularly compelling as a storage device for your digital still photographs. It's possible to run Mac OS X Server on your PoweBook in all likelihood, but I would not recommend it.
On the other hand, BusySync running on your PowerBook would provide all of the 'calendar service' you might possibly need for shared and published calendars. The developers of BusySync are smart and responsive, and it's a great piece of software.

  • How can I get Firefox to remember my open tabs the way it once did?

    In the past, each time I reopened Firefox, the tabs which I had had opened opened back up. But the other day I accidentally installed a "Radio.... something or other" toolbar while trying to listen to an ESPN press conference. After I added that toolbar, the next time I opened Firefox, none of my tabs re-opened, so I uninstalled the toolbar, but now, when I close Firefox, with several tabs open, and then re-open it, it does not remember the previously open tabs.
    Thanks,
    Doug Weiskopf

    hello doug, this toolbar was probably adware which still left remnants on your system, so please perform all these steps:
    # [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
    # afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
    # finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

  • How can I get a refund for unwanted app?

    My kids downloaded an extension of an app, made for kids, that cost $100. They thought it was free, until I got the bill. How can I get a refund for this and remove the app? This is wrong on so many levels, beginning with having a free app for kids luring them to a ridiculously priced one. Any help is appreciated.

    You posted in the Mac computer OS X Tiger 10.4 forum. You don't provide enough info. Was this an iPad app, iPhone app, an iPod app purchased from the iTunes store? Or an app purchased from another source?
    The remedy - don't give your kids the password and answer to security questions.
    If purchased from the iTunes store, there's a link on the invoice.

    You've tried deleting and redownloading them and seeing if they then work and tried contacting the developers ? If you have and they can't/won't help then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Jodie84,
    I have just checked your account and found that you indeed have bought a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription but you have assigned the single seat to another user hence you ( If you are using your own Adobe ID ) are getting the trial error message.
    Two options : Either reassign the seat to your self or add an additional seat and invite your self in the same Team.

  • How can we get ADFSecurity work when used in OC4J, OID and OAM?

    I am getting error in http server log "mod_oc4j: Response status=499 and reason=Oracle SSO, but failed to get mod_osso global context."
    But I am not using Oracle SSO and my client doesn't want to use it either, I am using OAM SSO(CoreIDSSO) in my configuration. Please read the details below.
    I am using ADFSecurity in an app that is protected by OAM. To migrate ADFSecurity permissions from
    system-jazn-data.xml to OID, I used JAZNMigrationTool to populate OID with Grantees and Permissions. OAM gives login page, and authentication works fine.
    But ADFSecurity is not working. ADFComponent Delete button is enabled even for roles that dont have permissions for the iterator delete.
    - The app works fine when I use without OAM. ADF Security permissions work fine.
    - The app works fine when used with OAM, but with ADFSecurity disabled (enforce=false).
    - When I enforce ADFSecurity alongwith OAM, ADFSecurity is not working.
    In the doc "Oracle Containers for J2EE Security Guide b28957", there is a mention of use of CoreIDPrincipal for permissions. Our OID Permissions entries show
    LDAPRealmRole for attribute orcljaznprincipal. I am not sure if this could be the reason.
    We have configured AccessServerSDK for the SOA instance and have policy for the urls in the policy manager. We have entries in orion-application.xml, orion-web.xml and system-jazn-data.xml as per the documentations.
    How can we get ADFSecurity work when used with OID and OAM?

    Have you been able to successfully integrate OAS with OAM & OID? We have similar requriement and so far we have not been able to get it working.
    We have application specific roles which we map to OID roles using orion-application.xml.
    Any pointers to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,
    Dipal

  • How can I get heap dump for 1.4.2_11 when OutOfMemory Occured

    Hi guys,
    How can I get heap dump for 1.4.2_11 when OutOfMemory Occured, since it has no options like: -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError and -XX:+HeapDumpOnCtrlBreak
    We are running Webloic 8.1 SP3 applications using this Sun 1.4.2_11 JVM and it's throwing out OutOfMemory, but we can not find a heap dump. The application is running as a service in Windows Server 2003. How can I do some more analysis on this issue.
    Thanks.

    The HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError option was added to 1.4.2 in update 12. Further work to support all collectors was done in update 15.

  • How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud

    How can I get iCal not to show the same birthday dates from my iCloud?

    You don't need them stored locally for a backup. You can manually export your contacts as archive for backup. Also, if you are backing up with Time Machine, you already have a backup. If your hard drive crashed, you would have to rely on your backup or iCloud anyway.
    So, if you're comfortable with that, sign out of iCloud. Choose to delete contacts from the computer. When you sign back into iCloud, you should only have iCloud contacts listed in AB. When you open iCal, you should only have one listing for birthdays.
    The other alternative is to disable the Birthday c.alendar and create one manually.

  • My itunes has stopped responding how can I get it working again

    My itunes has stopped responding how can I get it working again?

    I have a related issue (I think, hard to know for sure from the short frustrated post above).
    Since the last update of iTunes (11.0.5), it kind of freezes while checking for and downloading new podcasts. Processor load goes to 100% (sometimes above! figure from Swedish OSX "Aktivitetskontroll" which I can imagine is something like "Activity Control" or "Activity Manager" in English OSX) and stays there for a few minutes, 3-5 minutes is common. During that time the mouse pointer turns into a spinning ball when moved above iTunes. Other apps work ok meanwhile. (Four processors)
    Have a fixed connection to the internet, which I have tested while iTunes is frozen. We acheive above 100 Mbit/s downstream, 20 Mbit/s upstream, so the connection shouldn't be the problem.
    Any ideas on what to do?

  • How can I get safe internet for protect my phone and PC

    How can I get safe internet for protect my phone and PC. l lose all internet account I've three year. i lose my phone all app for a day even I safe all informating and apps in ICloud  but I lose all my phone information . Like I have new phone and I do not have all my date . For new phone i can not use over 10 apps for my phone

    You can't. But if you backed up your computer prior to wiping it out, you should be able to restore your iTunes library, contacts, photos, etc. from that backup. Once you do, you can set the phone up again and just sync everything from your library back to it.
    If you didn't back the computer up either, you can transfer items purchased on the phone into iTunes, and if you set up at least one contact in whatever application you sync your contacts to on the computer, it will offer to merge the address books on the first sync, saving those.  Any media you'd acquired from sources other than the iTunes store will have to be re-downloaded from the source or re-ripped.
    The iPhone is NOT a backup device.

  • How can I get a service for new powerbook 15" 1.67 screen?

    I would like to know how I can get a service for my brand new PB15" screen.
    Today I have read an message on the Korean apple forum that New unit of 15" 1.67 doesn't have any line problem.
    So, I really want to know whether it is true or not.
    If it is, Can I get an exchange for my new 15" 1.67 in India?
    Could you help me Apple?
    I bought it in Korea 15,Nov, 2005 and Now I am in Mumbai India.
    There is a apple international Mumbai in India.
    I have a 1 year world worranty.
    If the new unit doesn't have any line problem, It means that mine has a problem.
    Now I am falling in love with powerbook 15" 1.67 which is my first Mac in my life except line problem.
    How can I get a service for it.
    Please Help me.

    Yes I have read of other reports from people saying theirs are fine. I am really looking forward to purchashing one but I do not want to take a 2000 dollar chance that I might end up with a bad screen. I am still waiting for apple to make an announcement. I have also begun seing reports on some "news like" websites but not really the major ones.
