How to fix an active sync problem

All,
I came across some issues with active sync that I could not find reference to in Sun documentation that we found a fix for. Read and enjoy.
Problem: Active sync stopped working for no reason
Reason: Too many users were attempting to be updated at the same time. SARunner was not running.
Fix: Manually delete the invalid TaskInstances from the database.
Process:
Stop active sync
Find the invaild task instances
Oracle SQL Code to find errors:
SELECT * from object where type='TaskInstance' and ATTR1='EXECUTING';
Delete invalid task instances
Oracle SQL to delete invalid TaskInstances:
DELETE from object where type='TaskInstance' and ATTR1='EXECUTING';
After this is done commit the changes to the DB.
Active Sync can now be re-started.
It should start functioning properly at this point.

There were no problems what so ever. The integrity of the repository was not affected. I did this as a last resort because nothing else I tried worked.
One of the other side issues we were having was viewing tasks. When all tasks was clicked on I was getting invailid Object references. The Object reference ended up being the ID of a task that failed to update users because of an invalid character that IdM can not apparently parse. We had about 16 of these entries in the table. Active Sync no longer worked. We made the decision to delete the records from the table, we backed up the DB, then deleted the invalid records. I also checked in the other tables and could not find reference to the invalid objects anywhere. Once I deleted the records active sync began to function again after is was cycled and the system was brought back to full operational status.
Apparently someone created a new security group in AD but when it was created they did not use a normal "-" in the name. I think the person used MS Word to type the name, in some cases word then substitutes a special character in for the dash that looks longer. This character was the root of my problem. I had someone go back and change the name of the security group and changed the dash to the right dash and that solved the root of my problem.

I just erased all my contacts on accident while trying to fix an ical syncing problem. Please help!

Hello There,
I have NO idea what just happened. I am trying to stay calm here. Please help.
I have been trying to fix the fact that my iphone calendar isn't sending info to my ical on my MacBook Pro. I followed some instructions I found in a forum and then unplugged my phone haphazardly by not ejecting it from iTunes... I just pulled it off the cord and all my contacts erased in a blink of an eye. Here's the instructions I followed. Please tell me how I can get them back! Can I call AT&T? BTW... the instructions didn't fix the ical problem either.
(These are the instructions I tried from http://iphonewriter.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues.h tml) I added my own sidenote in Bold.
Here's the down and dirty fix:
Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
Re-Open the iCal application and Import (File -> Import) a new calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier. Once completed, close the iCal application (you should have all of your calendar entries back.)
***When I re-opened ical nothing was gone but I followed the following steps anyways.***
     5. Open the iTunes application and connect your Apple iPhone to the computer.
     6. Within the Advanced section of the Info tab for the Apple iPhone, check the box the overwrites/replaces the Calendar data on the Apple iPhone.
     7. Click the Apple/Sync button. New, modified and deleted entries should now be syncing correctly.
That's it! You should be all set and iTunes, iCal and our Apple iPhone should all be playing nicely as friends again. We've used the exact method to repair our own Apple iPhone at least once... maybe even twice.

Hi,
Can't you restore your iPhone via iTunes and use the "restore from last backup". I know when I has my phone replaced this copied all my contacts (from my last sync)back to my phone.
Hope that helps

How do I use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?

We are attempting to use SharePoint 2010 in combination with Exchange 2010 to implement shared calendars and contact lists throughout our organization. We are able to connect the lists to Outlook 2010, but have been unsuccessful in viewing
the calendars and contact lists from our mobile phones. How do we use Active Sync to view SharePoint Lists (Contacts and Calendars) on a Mobile Phone?
In trying to answer this question, we have come across a few different possibilities, all of them falling just short of a long term solution for us. After doing research, we found that Active Sync will only show the default folders of the account. To
solve this, we downloaded an Add-In for Outlook (CodeTwo FolderSync) to synchronize folders and synchronized our SharePoint list with a new Contact list in the default folder. The issue we came across with this method is that the Add-In we are using
is not capable of automatic synchronization. There is a button and it must be clicked after every update is made, which is not ideal for our solution. We then went to the company (CodeTwo) and found server side software (Exchange Sync) that they
offer which will automatically synchronize the folders. After installing that on the Exchange Server, we now are running into the issue of not being able to locate the SharePoint lists on the Exchange Server.
Does anyone happen to know how we can get to the SharePoint lists from the Exchange Server? Has anyone else been able to use shared contacts lists and calendars from SharePoint on their mobile phones using Active Sync? If so, are we in the right
direction with what we have found so far?
Thanks,
Brad

You cannot use ActiveSync for that, but there are SharePoint clients for the iPhone. Windows Mobile 7 natively supports SharePoint with SharePoint Workspace Mobile, part of Microsoft Office Mobile. Android and BlackBerry might also have some apps.

How to fix out of sync devices which have used 2 apple Ids?

I have been working with the iCloud help desk over the last couple days on this but let me explain the situation:
I have 2 apple IDs. one I use for iTunes access/purchases, etc. it happens to be my day to day email. the other ID happens to be associated with my mac.com email which I use for separate email purposes.
I use an ipadair, iPhone 4, mac. all are updated with most current IOS release.
The issue is the lack of synchronization between the devices. I primarily enter my contacts, calendars, reminders via my desktop mac/apple apps, i.e. ical, contacts and reminders. However when I am away from my desktop i enter via my ipadair typically. The help desk did help and we were able to sync all of them via the Mail/Contacts/Calendars setups for new entries, rather than iCloud settings and any activated syncing via iTunes. I know that there is a way to get this sorted/combined without losing any data.
What I have discovered during my discussions with the help desk, if we take the contact lists as an example, is that I have a set of contacts entered separately and perhaps synced on my iPad that are not showing up anywhere else, for example the name Mia on my iPad does not show up on my iPhone or Mac contact list.
the record counts are different, Mac contacts have 1459, iCloud apple ID 1 has 1386 and iCloud apple ID2 has 1434(each essentially are named after an email address; 1 of which is connected to my iTunes account, and although I cannot tell how many records are on my ipadair in contacts, I know that some of those contacts are different and have not synced across to my iPhone or Mac apps.
So the question is how to get them all synced(iCloud apple ID 1(primary), iCloud apple ID 2, iPad contacts, Mac contacts without losing any contacts....i'm less concerned about duplicates, because I can manually delete dupes if they occur. Just trying to get to one method of syncing....noting that when I set these up originally i used iTunes syncing and it seemed to add duplicates never was in sync and all contact list were messed up...i am sure that is because of the 2 iCloud IDs, but I do not know how to fix it so I do not lose any contacts/can clean from one source and also of course utilize syncing for calendar, reminders, etc. retaining my separate apple ID for ITunes and the other for all this synchronization.
thanks.

You need to:
1) Go to appleID.apple.com, log in with [email protected], and then change the AppleID/Primary Email back to [email protected] Sign out.
2) Delete the icloud account on the iphone. Enter the password when prompted.
3) Go back to appleID.apple.com, log in with [email protected], then change the AppleID/primary email back to [email protected]

How to debug ACE FT Sync Problems ?

Hello,
in one of our contexts we have a sync problem on the standby unit.
"sh ft group detail" gives
"Running cfg sync status : Error on Standby device when applying configuration file replicated from active", while "Startup cfg sync status" is OK.
"sh crypto files" and "dir disk0:" produce the same output on both ACE units.
How can we analyze the problem ?

Hi Gilles,
unfortunately I can not see a meaningful message. Can you please have a look at the attachments (taken from the standby machine) ?
Thank you very much in advance.

How to fix 3G/VVM/MMS problems in 4.0 WITHOUT losing all of your data

First off, I can't take credit for this. tekset21 on these forums mentioned trying a restore from DFU instead of straight up and that's when I started experimenting the last few hours.
I've tried this twice. It worked the same exact same way. I'm guessing it will work for you as well.
1) Make sure you have a backup to restore to that will work. For me, this was the backup I made just before I upgraded to 4.0 yesterday.
2) Put your phone into DFU mode. To do this, you basically connect to iTunes, Hold down both the top button and the home button for 10 seconds, then release the top button but keep holding the home button until a window pops up in iTunes saying it's discovered a phone in iTunes in restore mode. If you need more help google "DFU mode" - there are tons of videos.
3) Restore using the regular restore button. Wait for the iPhone to finish reapplying the 4.0 software and reappear in iTunes
4) Click set up as a new phone and then continue. I personally sent myself an MMS, verified the 3G data connection was working by using maps, and played around with my voice mail until it asked me for a password and eventually showed me my visual voice mail.
5) Finally I restored to the backup I made yesterday. Everything was there like a normal restore (kinda).
NOTE: Whenever I did this the first time it came back from the restore with no SMS icon. I cannot explain this. I could receive a SMS, I could send one. The MMS worked fine too. The icon even showed up in the task drawer- just no icon on the home screen.
Tried the above 5 steps a second time and said "what the ****" and just rebooted my phone- the SMS icon appeared. Went through all the motions again (third time) and the icon appeared again.
6) Reboot your phone (if you haven't already).
Doing all of the above got me my phone to exactly where it was before i updated yesterday. I wish I could test this and restore it with the backup I made right before I started doing this tonight (get my messages from today back) but iTunes does not give me the option of doing so. I don't know why- I can see both backups and their timestamps but iTunes just isn't giving me that option.
Hope this helps.

THIS FIX ALSO WORKS FOR THE EXCHANGE SYNCING PROBLEM!!!
THANKS!!

IPhone 1.1.3 does not fix my iCal sync problems

Still having my wonderful iCal sync problems.
Got the old "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "name" because an error occured while merging data".
Gettin' kinda old after at least a month.
I've tried every suggestion in this group besides generating a new Admin account.

... wait a sec... oh wait a sec....
I just may have fixed my problem. Deleted <user>/Library/Calendar (Leopard calendar) and <user>/Library/Application Support/iCal (Tiger calendar) and then deleted all data and settings on my iPhone and I can finally sync a darn calendar without iTunes complaining.
Was even able to re-import one of my calendars and have it show up in...wait for it... BOTH places. OMG - welcome to the 21st century!
Even got rid of duplicate birthday calendars my iPhone had been building up!
Joy to the world! Woot Woot.

How to fix a text entry problem

Sometimes when I'm entering text with my keyboard it refuses to work. After starting TextEdit and typing a few characters (which always works), then going back to where I was, text entry works fine again. This problem is maddening!! Any idea what causes this or how to fix it? Thanks!!!!

Are you using a Magic Mouse with scrolling enabled. That happens to me frequently when I somehow swip horizontally in an app. All text entry or other use freezes until I reswipe back somehow.
Try changing the horizontal swipe from one finger to two finger in the System/Mouse preference pane and see if that will prevent the freeze.

Active sync problems / syncing only first time

Hello!
I have a Xperia Z3 and everything works fine, except the Active Sync with my one.com account.
The syncronization only works the first time directy after setting up the account. I can be shure, there is no problem with password or server adress because it syncs (even if it only works once)...
The next time i try to get new e-Mails the mail app says something like "no connection to the server." (Thats not the original error message, but its translated from the german error message)
My first attempt was to change the sync interval and tried from push to 10 minutes everything. Did not work.
I then deleted the account and established it again. Did not work.
The little syncing symbol next to the selection box always stays grey and does not move.
Does anyone have the same problem and/or can help me?
Thanks in advance!

Glad to hear that you got it working with another client
Hard to say what's wrong here as i haven't seen the issue before. But as it says that their ActiveSync support is in beta and i haven't seen the issue before i would suspect there are issues with the server and that it will work also with our client in the future.
In case yu want to give them more feedback about our client you can refer to this document: http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/support/XperiaInBusinessZ3/Xperia_in_Business-Email_and_...

How to fix your activation code!

if you pirated the ios7 beta, no worries, ill tell you how to fix it without going into DFU mode.
1. update to the newest version of itunes
2. google "ios 7.0.2 download"
3. find the correct one for your device. then download it.
4. it should download to your desktop. once at your desktop, open up itunes.
5. for mac, while holding alt/option, click on check for update.
6. select the update from your desktop, it should then begin downloading onto your device.
7. when it is done, disconnect it from your computer.
8. it should say "activation required" again or something like that. except this time, it should just ask for your apple i.d. and password.
9. you're all done! enjoy your unbricked iphone instead of waiting for apple's painfully slow service!

thank you Ned, I used this link and I followed the instructions, but I didn't succeed.... It says that "The My Adobe page is displayed. All your registered products and their serial numbers are listed in theMy products section." But I don't see the serial numbers here...

How to fix the "MIME types" problem !

Hello !
How to fix the problem of "MIME types", Windows doesn't want to keep the APPS by default !!!
When I try the application by default (for ex. right clic on .PSD files and "open with"), then I validates the selection program (Photoshop.exe), it does not appear in the selection of programs by default in windows!
Result, even dynamic objects no longer open in my applications and all adobe files icon don't appear in explorer
Thx

I find a solution who works for me (Win7 64bit) !
Use a Registry cleaner (ccleaner) and kill old file format entry !
Now restart association with a .AI file, because the way to .exe is in another place like other apps !
Try this:
First, right click on your illustrator apps icon (desktop or Start menu) and choose "open the file location" and copy the dir ("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Support Files\Contents\Windows" for me )
Right clic on your .AI file and select "Open with", now click on "browse" to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Support Files\Contents\Windows" for 64bit system.
"Windows" say "you've got problem with registry file association" the correction's automaticatly and the illustrator icon appear in the list of default apps.
Select and valid him
Now, do the same for all your "unknown files type" with the good apps !
