How do I set up a custom (local) Sync server for Firefox 4?

I am having difficulty finding a clear set of instructions on how to set up a custom Sync server for Firefox 4. Most of the information that I can find seems outdated (only mentioning Weave and/or previous versions of Firefox).

The URL you are looking for is https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Weave/Sync/1.1/Setup

How can I upload my offline bookmarks to sync server for syncing them?

Firefox is the only browser I use and I have tons of bookmarks. I use Firefox Sync to sync my bookmarks primarily over 4 devices (2 Desktop PC, 1 Notebook and 1 Tablet). With the previous Sync model of Firefox I had to request for a quota increase mentioning that I will be needing only the Bookmarks to be synced, nothing else. My quota was increased, Firefox introduced the new Sync model, it was really great and easier, everything was fine.
Recently I've lost a huge number of bookmarks from Sync. Only one desktop PC still has all the bookmarks, but on the other 3 devices a certain number of bookmarks is absent at the end of the alphabetically sorted list. I uninstalled Firefox and deleted everything Firefox-related from one of these 3 devices, performed a fresh new installation and synced again. But no result, those bookmarks are still missing. I've added new bookmarks from the PC that still has all the bookmarks and they were synced properly over the other 3 devices. I think somehow those specific bookmarks (which are missing on the other 3 devices) got disconnected/unlinked from the Firefox Sync Server.
Now, since I have the missing bookmarks on one PC, is there any way to upload these unlinked bookmarks to Firefox Sync Server so they can be re-linked and synced over the other devices? If yes, how can I do that? If no, what else are my options to get my bookmarks back & synced?

You cannot add anything to Sync that is outside of Firefox. The service will only connect thru a Firefox installation.
As far as trying to solve that problem with the "lost" bookmarks on 3 devices ...
1. Disconnect all 4 devices from Sync.
2. Then on the PC that still has all your bookmarks, install this extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/ - to rebuild the Places database on that device. ''I suspect that is where your problem started.''
3. When the "maintenance" is done, reconnect that device to Sync and let it run for like maybe 24 hours to re-populate the Sync server with "fixed" data.
4. Then you can start reconnecting the other 3 devices to Sync one at a time ''(do the Tablet last)'', allowing some time for each device to "digest" whatever changes are made when re-connecting to Sync.
''Don't rush Sync at any stage - depending upon how many bookmarks and how much history you have - maybe add one device per day and leave Firefox running for a long time not doing anything else. From what I have observed with Sync when fixing something like this it works in "spurts" of data transfers especially when the Sync servers are very busy.''

How to best set up a mail and calendar server for a church

I am the IT guy for a smaller church of 200 regular attendees. We want to start hosting our own mail and calendar server. We bought a mac mini and installed mac os x server. So far I have enabled the mail, calendar, and contacts sections of the server but we aren't live quite yet (domain is not pointed at the server yet). My question is, I do not know much about profile manager or open directory, would those benefit me at all? I do not wish to manage devices, I just want to make the most use out of the computer as a mail server primarily. I have found some limitations on users and groups where I wish I could do more (such as creating mailing lists that include e-mails that are not hosted from within the server without creating a user that forwards to personal e-mail for every person).
Would open directory and/or profile manager add more functionality to the computer as a mail server?
Thank you

@camelot
What is it exactly open directory will give me that I cannot do with the regular software in this regard? I am not sure what you mean by a signle shared mailbox and calendar.
@cpragman
Google apps for business was something I was looking into at one point but decided not to use it. Once we grow more I can see us moving over to it but with just maybe 5 people tops having a real e-mail address it seems a little overkill. (I apologize, I omitted that from my original question, i only put in the number of attendees)
@Lincdavis
Fortunately I don't care about whether they can create it themselves or not . And your comment about creating a sharing-only user. Do you mean for every external e-mail I want in a mailing list, I need to create a user for them (with services disabled) and then change mail options to forward to their personal e-mail?
Then go back to groups, create a group that can be e-mailed, and add those users to it?
Thanks

How do I do use the custom code and format for a percentage with 2 decimals in Report Builder 3.0?

In Report Builder 3.0, I have the following custom code entered:
Public Function SafeDivide(Numerator as String, Denominator as String) as String
Try
If Numerator = “” or Denominator = “” then
Return “-“
End if
If Numerator = “-“ or Denominator = “-“ then
Return “-“
End If
If CDbl(Numerator) =0 or CDbl(Denominator) = 0 then
Return “-“
End if
If IsNothing(Numerator) or IsNothing(Denominator) then
Return "-"
End if
Return Val( ( (CDbl(Numerator) / CDbl(Denominator) )*100 ) )
Catch
Return "-"
End Try
End Function
I call the custom code in the cell with the following equation:
=Code.SafeDivide(sum(Fields!TY_UNITS.Value)-sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value),sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value))
I have the format for the cell set to 0.00%, but it’s not being followed.
I want the result to be formatted as a Percentage, but instead I get values like:
-78.9473684210
80
300
-100
I have the format for the cell set to 0.00%, but it’s not being followed.
How do I do use the custom code and format for a percentage with 2 decimals?

Hi AngP,
After testing the issue in my local environment, I can reproduce it. Based on my research, I find this issue is caused by the type of Units_VAR_Percentage cell is string, while the type of CDbl(Parameters!Var_Threshold.Value) is double, so they cannot be
compared.
To fix this issue, we can add a hidden column (Textbox91) next to the Units_VAR_Percentage column, and type =(sum(Fields!TY_UNITS.Value)-sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value)) /sum(Fields!LY_UNITS.Value) as the expression. Then use the expression below to control the
BackgroundColor:
=iif(iif(reportitems!Units_VAR_Percentage.Value=CStr(format(reportitems!Textbox91.Value,"0.00%")),reportitems!Textbox91.Value,0)>CDbl(Parameters!Var_Threshold.Value),"Yellow","PaleTurquoise")
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

How do you set the zoom level to Inherit Zoom for all bookmarks in a pdf?

How do you set the zoom level to Inherit Zoom for all bookmarks in a pdf?

beatngu13
I made an account just to "like" your comment and say that you are a god among men.
I've been searching for hours about how to make the zoom level persistent throughout following links in various PDF's I have, and most sources were saying to just buy acrobat pro and edit the bookmarks manually with it.
I saw that it was possible to write an application to change the property, and considered doing it after the only pre-existing custom application I could find was asking for $50.
Thanks to you, I no longer have to worry about re-zooming every time I click a bookmark, and I'm not out $50 or the time it would take to code an app myself!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

How do I set the direction of the sync?

How do I set the direction of the sync? I recall from days past that there was a window that let you choose whether to "upload" the info from your computer or "download" the info from the .MAC account. In this case I am trying to import my address book from the .MAC server. What are the new steps in 10.4? or where can this sync direction window be found?
-todd

Under Mac OS X 10.4 and later, the synchronization of information with .Mac is no longer the responsibility of iSync, but is instead controlled through a preference pane in the System Preferences application.
A forum dedicated to .Mac Sync is located here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
Assuming that your machine is registered with .Mac and currently able to synchronize data bidirectionally, this is how you reset your data:
• launch System Preferences
• select the .Mac preference pane
• press the Advanced tab
• press the Reset Sync Data… button
• choose one or all registered data categories from the drop down Replace: menu
• pick a data flow direction (by default, it is set to FROM .Mac TO your computer)
• press the Replace button

How do I set up my iphone to sync with my outlook account?

How do I set up my iphone to sync with my outlook account?

Hi maryannmc,
You have two options.
1. You can plug the iPhone into iTunes and select the "Info" tab and choose "Sync Mail Accounts" and this will transfer the settings across.
2. In the iPhone you can go to Settings > General > Mail, Contacts and Calendars and choose "Add account"
You will need to know if your account is POP, IMAP or Exchange and this will help determine what settings you need to enter and how to set it up so both your computer and iPhone can receive email.
The iPhone can add most popular accounts with ease such as gmail, yahoo or hotmail.
Hope this helps,

How do I set a Phase Listener to only run for a specific page?

How do I set a Phase Listener to only run for a specific page?
I understand that a Phase Listener runs for ever page in the application, however I want a phase listener to only run for one page at the beginning of the application.
I discovered I can't use a Filter, because the JSF Application instance always returns null.
Thus, I thought a Phase Listener would be a good approach.
Thoughts?

How to set up a basic file sharing server for my small architectural business?

I have no idea if I have posted in the correct area as this is my first forum post within the apple support community!
I have been using a 21.5" imac running 10.6.8 for the past 5 years to run my small home based architectural design business. I have been using the internal hard drive & backing up the necessary data to a simple usb external hard drive. I am now looking to firstly purchase a new imac 27" retina and purchase new autocad lt 2015 for mac software. I am looking to have another imac (my old mac) running in conjunction with the new mac. I want both macs to be able to access the same data and am slightly unsure what is the best way to achieve this.....As my old mac is currently only running snow leopard and an old version of autocad for mac 2011 it wont run on any more recent OS. Essentially i believe I have 2 main options with this.... (1) I Accept that I have to purchase 2 no. autocad lt 2015 licences @ a cost of £2300. Or option (2), I only run autocad on the new mac as this will be the primary station and the old mac used for primarily for admin & accounts. I have also recently discovered that it is possible to rent autocad licences for £300p/a which may also be another option (3)!
I previously had a problem where my hard drive failed on my mac & lost all data on the internal hard drive, luckily I had been backing up all data regularly to my external hard drive and now loss occurred! Obviously with any new system I want to ensure that my data is safe!
I currently utilise about 250GB of data for business operations but this will obviously grow with time.
In the future I would like to have the option of potentially being able to access the network data remotely via macbook pro whilst abroad although at this stage this really isnt my primary objective. Although I believe I could achieve this through apple remote desktop.
I suppose I should provide some information with regard to the required speed of the system...I regularly open 50-100 photos at the same time totalling around 250-500MB. I would like the system to be able to handle this fairly easily.
I have been trawling through forums and to be honest they are totally confusing me. I have also spent time on the phone to the apple business team and have also discussed my objectives with a member of the apple team in store.
There have been various options advised to me and I really do not know which is the most appropriate route forward.
1 - Using a mac mini as the file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the mac mini to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
2 - Using a time capsule as a file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the TC to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
3 - Using the new mac hard drive and linking the 2 macs via thunderbolt (old mac does not have thunderbolt and so I guess I would need another new mac?!) and then backing up the data to a time capsule.
4 - Using a RAID based server and linking the 2 no. macs.
Sorry to ramble but any advice really would be greatly received!

Hi sblemings,
Welcome to the community.
I think with your scenario you should ask yourself, how complicated do you want the setup to be and how much time would you have to be able to resolve an issue should one occur with this setup.
All the options that have been advised would work but they come with complexity and therefore time.
1 - Using a mac mini as the file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the mac mini to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
2 - Using a time capsule as a file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the TC to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
3 - Using the new mac hard drive and linking the 2 macs via thunderbolt (old mac does not have thunderbolt and so I guess I would need another new mac?!) and then backing up the data to a time capsule.
4 - Using a RAID based server and linking the 2 no. macs.
Sorry to ramble but any advice really would be greatly received!
option 1
Would be a way to achieve what you want, it would centralise your files and you would only need to backup your file server (as long as all the files you wanted backed up were on it). This could be achieved either using the client and sharing various folders or using Server which would give you more options than you would possibly need.
option 2
This is exactly like option 1 except that you wouldn't have to administer another mac however you may limit any future growth.
option 3
This option I probably wouldn't pick, you could achieve this with firewire and use a firewire to thunderbolt adapter (saves you having to buy a new iMac)
option 4
This option would, depending on your RAID level, give you disk redundancy but remember you would still need to back this up, as RAID is NOT a backup solution.
I would also ask is there a pressing need to keep the old iMac in service and complicating things by having a server / NAS? Could you not just transfer all your information over to this and continue with the one backup? I would say that doing it this was would be the simplest way of achieving what you want from what I can take from your question.
As for remotely accessing your data, if you have the right hardware the way to achieve this would be to use a VPN and connect back to your data. However a potentially easier way for you ,would be to use a service like logmein or teamviewer to connect back.
Hope this helps, and by all means any questions please ask.

Thanks but this is not what I am looking for. I am looking for the settings - setting that allows our iphone to auto sync with your mac book when you make a puchase on either device.
You aren't going to sync with my MacBook when I make a purchase.
And you are not going to autosync your iPod with the MacBook unless you tell it to sync or plug it in.
You can enable Automatic downloads when you make a purchase.
iTunes settings > Store.
When you make a purchase, it will automatically download that purchase to devices set up the same way.
This is not the same as autosyncing your device to your computer (as you first asked).

Basically, if your client does not have a Mac then don't use iWeb to create the site. iWeb is Mac only and if a client wishes to make alterations, then they need the domain file.
If your client needs to update on a weekly basis, then why not consider using one of the online website creation packages where you can log in from any Mac or PC. This would be simpler and there are lots out there - Microsoft Office Live or Google or something like http://www.wix.com where you can create a site and use a domain name with it.
Look at the alternatives before using iWeb.
