How to configure Growl notifications for File Sharing and Address Book...

Heya,
So my team and I constantly add new contacts to Address Book and drop files via File Sharing and I would love a way to push growl notifications to people's computers when these actions occur. Or even send emails. Does anyone know how I could accomplish this? If so, can you reference a tutorial or guide of some sort? Thanks!

The export function from iCloud creates one single .vcf file with all the addresses in it. If you click on it on the desktop, it starts displaying each and every address as a separate vCard. However, "Tools/Import...Address Books...vCard file" doesn't do anything.

    How to configure Email notification for User login's in Client Machines?

    Hi ,
    Based on the description , you need to assign logon scripts to the end users via group policy and also use your exchange server as the smtp server in that logon script to relay emails to the internal recipients.

  • HT1727 How do you grant permission for home sharing and authorizing?  My mac did home share, but now says, "The required directory was not found or has a permissions error", when I try to authorize.

    How do you grant permission for home sharing and authorizing?  My mac did home share, but now says, "The required directory was not found or has a permissions error", when I try to authorize.

    OK, I just got off of the phone with Apple and still no joy. They had me try a few things that did not work, then told me to Archive and Install, which did not either. Anyway, thanks for the additional help very note worthy, but still no joy. Also an email to iTunes Support took me here
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93061
    I have a Users/Shared folder but since the files we are talking about are invisible, I can see how it is structured.
    And by the way I tried this one
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3577004#3577004
    and it did not work. However, when I install a fresh copy of Tiger on the external it did authorize the computer and was able to play the downloads. But coping the invisible file to my boot drive was not successful. But , like I said the music did play when I started up from the external. So I guess that may be my only solution, unless someone can tell what the correct directory is and where it for iTunes downloads.

  • How do I print envelopes for everyone in my address book?

    How do I print envelopes for everyone in my address book?  It seems so simple but after half an hour... no joy!!

    I have spent most of the morning in a frustrating search of a way to print labels for my contacts. I have a couple of problems. I want to send every label to a different person at the same address. I have hundreds to do and most of them do not have a mailing address so I tried to do a bulk change of the address ... without  manually changing every contact there is no way to do this. I've tried to create a template with a table (10x2) and added merge fields to each of the cells but when I do a mail merge all I get are hundreds of pages with a page dedicated to each contact whereas I want to merge on a cell by cell level, i.e. 20 different contacts on the same page.
    How do I do this? I can't find label style that is appropriate and I'm not sure how to create one with 10 by 2 labels per page.
    Help!

  • Tungsten T5 iSync, HotSync, Missing Sync for iCal, Mail and Address Book

    I have just been given an old Palm Tungsten T5 and have been looking at the various options available to make it do what I need with regard to syncing it with my G5 PPC iMac with 10.4.11.
    I use the T5 only when I am away (from the iMac) and travelling and would like a set- up that allows me to sync, in this order of priority:
    iCal, including annual events such as birthdays, and differently colour-coded calendars and, if possible, to dos although these are less important
    Mail
    Address Book, in which I really only have e-mail addresses
    According to some old threads on the subject, Missing Sync appears to be the program of choice for syncing iCal and Address Book, but not Mail. Instead there appears to be something called Mail.App Conduit 2.0.1 requiring at least Palm Desktop 4, and presumably HotSync.
    Is there a single program that will sync all three of these Mac applications effectively? If not, am I going to have to (buy and install and then) uninstall Missing Sync and Palm Desktop (or HotsSync) alternately?
    Is iSync a real option?
    Or is there some clever way of using one or more programs to start with and then switch over to just one?
    I would be grateful for any advice as to how to deal with this. Thank you.
    Nick

    I don't know if you can do this with the Centro. I should have mention that I was talking about webOS (Pre and Pixi). To sync with webOS you need Mac OS 10.5 or later for iCal, and 10.6 for Address Book.

  • How do I use VPN for file sharing?

    Hi folks, hope you can help.
    I need to find a method for file sharing between my company's two offices, which are not only in different countries but also use both PCs and Macs. I think setting up a VPN is the way forward.
    My file server is a Mac Mini running the standard client version of OS 10.5.4, with a static IP, 217.xxx.xxx.xxx. I need the PCs and Macs to access its resources. It is set up to share its files using FTP, AFP and SMB. It is running the application iVPN Server, which I understand is a GUI that makes the built-in OS X VPN Server function available to the client edition of OS X.
    I am currently overseas and can connect to the Mac Mini over VPN. The problem is that I cannot seem to access the Mac Mini's files - I don't know what to do having established the VPN connection. I was half-expecting it to show up in the Finder under Shared or something.
    The Mac Mini has a local IP of 10.0.1.20, but the VPN Server is issuing an IP to all clients in the range 192.168.2.200 and beyond. Is this where I'm going wrong?
    Should the Mac Mini VPN Server also connect to itself, using VPN, as a client?
    I'm really stuck, all help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

    Thanks for prompt reply Topher..
    I am familiar with the Connect to Server window, but I am not sure which IP I should be using. Assuming no VPN connection for the moment, and assuming I'm on a remote network, I can connect to the User's documents folder on the Mac Mini already by typing afp://[username:password]@[static WAN ip]/Documents
    However, I need to ensure that SMB shares work (I know they work when I'm on the local network). So I type smb://[username:password]@[static WAN ip]/Documents but this fails to connect to the User's Documents folder.
    To make the SMB shares work I think I have to connect using VPN. So I connect to the Mac Mini via VPN, and my laptop is issued a VPN IP of 192.168.2.200. Of course my laptop also has an IP from my local network. Do I need to rearrange my network order in System Preferences?
    So I'm now connected via VPN. However to view the Mac Mini's files, surely it also needs to have an IP issued by the VPN Server? But the Mac Mini is the VPN server. So should I go into its System Preferences and set up a VPN connection to itself?
    Now back on the laptop and I want to browse User's Documents folder on the Mac Mini using SMB. I go Connect to Server, and I guess I would type smb://[username:password]@[Mac Mini's VPN IP]/Documents
    Am I on the right track? Thanks again...

  • How to configure Time Capsule for Automatic Backup AND HARD DRIVE USE

    I tried to configure Time Capsule for back up and as a hard drive. I record music and need to copy the music myself onto an external hard drive for speed, so I want the TC to double as an external hard drive, and do the back up. I want to be able to open the TC as a hard drive, to open my songs from it. Can it do both?

    I finally figured it out. I am able to access my TC from the "shared folder." When I click on it, I get the "connection failed message." I failed to notice the login button in the upper right -- user error due to my Windows based education. The button is very subtle. Once I login, I can create folders and add content.
    I didn't see a partition option. Where is that? Just curious.
    Thanks!

  • Best Practises for File Sharing and Print Server on Windows Server 2012

    Is it better to have File Sharing and Print Server installed on the same Windows 2012 Server ?
    Or, they should be installed on 2 different Windows Servers ?
    Hussien Sherief

    It will work just fine to combine them.
    But most people would recommend keeping functionality separate... if the budget allows.  That whole "single point of failure" concept.  If that server dies, you've lost both of those functions.

  • Format of files for calendar, tasks and address book to export/sync

    My idea is to sync the files that are used by TB/Lightning, to manage my calendar, tasks and the address book.
    My question is, in which files calendar, tasks, address book are saved and which format do these have?
    Do I NEED to export each of them, before managing them with another software? (Icedove and possibly Android)

    When you export your calendar, it is in an .ics file, both events and tasks. The ics file is a text file which can be edited. RFC-5545 defines the format.
    When you export your address book, there are two formats: CSV is comma separated variables, and can be input to a spreadsheet. LDIF is also a text file and is better for importing into another computer.
    As far as syncing, I'm not sure what you have in mind, but Google is one way to share that data between devices.

  • Simple question; Mac Server Setup for Mail, iCal and Address Book Services.

    Hi Guys;
    I'm new to the Mac Server world and need a few questions answered.
    I have purchased a new Mac mini Server for hosting File, Web, Mail, iCal and Address Book Services.
    I’m comfortable setting up File and Web Services however I’m a bit uneasy setting up Mail, iCal and Address Book services to be access locally and remotely(via the internet).
    My current setup is;
    Internet connection (Dynamic IP) -> Router -> Mac mini Server.
    I have purchased a domain name (Thornton-net.com) from DynDns.com + a custom DNS service as I can setup my router to update my domain’s IP address automatically.
    I can access File and Web Services remotely (thortnon-net.com) perfectly without any issues via the Port Forwarding feature of the Router.
    If I setup Mail, iCal and Address Book Services -> will Mail, iCal and Address Book clients be able to access these services hosted by the server via Thornton-net.com?
    Message was edited by: Allan.Thornton

    Welcome to the forums.
    For mail services (and specifically for your outbound mail to be accepted by other mail servers) your mail server needs to have a static IP address and matching forward and reverse and MX records, or a tunnel to a static IP (with matching DNS), or you need another mail server where you have an authorized relay. Without that, your mail will be considered a spam engine, and dropped.
    Additionally, your particular tier of service with your ISP (with a static IP) will generally allow server-oriented access and server-oriented network traffic, where a residential or other tier of service (with a dynamic IP addresses) can be firewalled.
    The ISP controls the "high ground" of the network connections here, so you pretty much get to play by their rules and requirements. If they don't offer static IP, then (presuming their T&Cs permit it) you get to tunnel (via IPv6, for instance) to a tunnel broker, and receive your network traffic via that (and with matching DNS) point of presence. That could well be a tunnel for your mail at whichever your DNS provider is here, because you'll have issues with your dynamic address. (You get to sort out if they offer that.)
    Far and away the easiest approach (if you want to host this stuff yourself) is to work with the ISP. They're inherently involved in your network, and they and they alone have full control over your reverse DNS configuration.

  • How do I get my old e-mails and address book back?

    My old computer died and I had to purchase a new one. The hard drive from the old computer is OK and I can access the files on it. What I need to do is get all my old e-mails and address book from the old hard drive and load them to Thunderbird on the new computer. I tried using the "import" feature, but it will not locate the old files. Could someone tell me where to find these files and how can I get them transferred to the new computer?

    If you haven't done too much already on the new computer, you could just copy the old profile over from the old computer to the new one.
    If there is already a collection of messages in the new installation, then I'd copy in the old profile, set it as default, then use the ImportExportTools add-on to import the mailbox files from the new profile, thereby bringing the old profile up to date.

  • How to configure email notification for Attestation?

    Hi to everyone
    I have configure an attestation process and its working now, but i would like to know how to configure an email notification sent to invited reviewer or particular user based on certain actions when reviewer submit as certify, reject or delegated.
    Thanks in advance.

    There are certain built-in templates for notifications when assigned, delegated, declined, invalid list of reviewers..etc (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32479_01/doc.903/b32450/attestation.htm#sthref283).
    But I am not aware of notifications based on reviewer's response CERTIFY/REJECT. Not sure if this is an out-of-the-box feature, but you could have a custom task based on the AttestationOperationsIntf class to get this implemented.
    Rgds, Ajay

  • I am an English teacher, and my school just bought iPads for my students and me. I want to use Dropbox for file sharing and to be able to edit their work on my iPad so that my students will be able to open their work from Dropbox and see my corrections.

    I would like my editing marks and comments to save in Dropbox in a contrasting color. The students will then need to be able to open the document and make corrections, then save again to Dropbox. Thanks for any ideas!

    Thanks, everyone, for these helpful suggestions. Before we got the iPads last week, we were saving compositions from desktops onto the school server. There was not a problem with the students seeing other students' files, so I didn't password protect them, but there was the issue of copying all their work onto a thumb drive so I could grade it at home. I like accessing files in the cloud much better. Under the previous system, I was also printing out their work and marking it up for the students to correct before I put it on our class web site. Now under this new system, I would like to go paperless, sharing my digital revisions with the students as they perfect their work before I put the final products online. This usually takes 3 or more revisiosns. So far, I have tried the following apps: Quickoffice, Documents to Go, Writeup, Plaintext, Pages, Essay, and Droptext. The students and I have no trouble saving into and retrieving from Dropbox, but there is no good way so far for me to edit their work in color so that they can open up the file and see my comments in order to make their revisions. I do have this capability on my laptop and desktop by using the redlining feature in Word. It's just that I'd rather be able to use my iPad for this purpose. I will check out Evernote.

  • How can I load iCal data into Calendar and Address Book data into Contacts?

    I just bought a MacBook Pro running Yosemite. Migration Assistant could not read the Backup of my old, dead iMac, so I have been transferring data manually. So far Contacts and Calendar are the only Apps I have not been able to set up.

    What OS was the iMac running? I ask because where data is stored can change.
