I am so confused - .Mac To-Do and Notes Mailbox, also in iCal
I can't find anywhere online any documentation on how to properly use the ".Mac" mailboxes for Notes and To-Do's in Mail.
I know this:
- To-Do's put in ".Mac" instead of "On My Mac" show up in a folder on my iPhone, BUT NOT on MobileMe
- Notes put in ".Mac" instead of "On My Mac" show up in a folder on my iPhone, AND in MobileMe
- Creating a To-Do in ".Mac" adds it to a ".Mac" calendar in "iCal"
- ".Mac" calendars and To-Do's in iCal DO NOT sync with MobileMe or iPhone
- Local calendars show up on my iPhone, AND MobileMe
- Local To-Do's DO NOT show up on my iPhone, BUT DO on MobileMe
- Local Notes show up ONLY in mail
Since the ".Mac" calendars do not sync in MobileMe (sounds pretty counterintuitive to me), but the local calendars do, you must set up separate calendars for events and To-Do's. Not only does this create un-needed calendars and clutter, it also means that to see your To-Do's on both your iPhone and MobileMe site, you must DUPLICATE all of your To-Do's to both local and ".Mac" calendars.
Can anyone please explain this logic to me? Am I doing something wrong? I know my way around Macs pretty darn well, but this just completely has me stumped.

Hi Joe,
I have been confused by the same issues as I too use mail/ical/mobileme and my iphone, and i'm afraid to say you are not doing anything wrong, those are the limitations and idosyncrasies.
I have managed to live without my ical to-do's not syncing with my iphone, as when I need to access them I can use mobileme at the office. Using notes i can e-mail them to myself, not ideal but a workaround.
I was though pleased to hear that some of these issues will be addressed in the new software 3.0 out in the summer, i.e. notes sync will work, better support for calendars etc. Not sure about the to-do's though, will have to wait and see.
Have a look at the links below as they may help.

How to get contacts in my Mac Book Pro (and not only on iCloud)
Hello. God Icould for contacts, works well between Mac Book pro (MBP) and Ipad .. but on the MBP I have only the "iCould" contacts and not the "on My Mac" contacts.
So when I connect my blackberry to grab Mac contacts, none are transfered as the balckberry seems to locate only the contacts on the Mac Book (not the ones on iCloud).
Thanks a LOT if you have any tipGo to users and groups and choose only your iCloud Contacts to display.
Ensure that nothing is typed in the search field.
Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
Drag the list of contacts to your desktop.
Make sure your On My Mac account is your default account (preferences > general).
Select All On My Mac contacts from users and groups.
Drag the file you previously dragged to your desktop back onto Address Book.
You might want to back up all your contacts before you begin.
Select All contacts in users and groups
Click to select the first contact and shift-click the last to select them all.
Drag the list of contacts to your desktop. -
Why is my mac book blank and not loading when I turn it on?
Why is my mac a blank screen when I turn it on and not loading?

Also please include your model, year, which OSX you are using, this will help anyone reading this to offer advice.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5431
A couple of shots in the dark here.
Try this, start in safe mode and see if it will go. Power it off, power it on holding the shift key, continue to hold the key till you see a progress BAR, then release and see if it will finish booting. If it does login see if thigs work, then log out and try booting normally. (NOTE that this takes considerably longer,be patient)
Another thing you can try is powering it up holding the OPTION key and see if the start up manager brings your HD up on the screen, if it does click on that and see. -
Mac time freezes and not updating
After upgrading to osx yosemeti the mac time freezes frequently and not updating...I have to manually everytime to see the current time..
System Preferences/Date & Time/Date & Time - is it set to Set date and Time automatically? If so, try the following.
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
You will need to do that after any updates. -
A circled number appears in the upper right corner of the iCal icon on my Mac Book Air. What does it mean? How do I resolve it? Why doesn't it appear on my 4S iPhone via the iCloud?
Glenn,
That number means that you have an event invitation. Use iCal>View>Show Notifications to choose what to do with the notification. Since OS X 10.7.2 is required for iCloud integration, I am not surprised that there are anomalies between the iPhone and the MacBook Pro. -
AD bound Macs renaming themselves and not obeying WGM settings (user settings work fine)
Hello!
We've got a Server 2008r2 domain, OSX Lion Server 10.7.5 Xserver and Lion 10.7.5 clients. We made an image of a model machine using DeployStudio and deployed that to the 20 Macs we have on site.
We have two issues:
Each of the 20 machines now renames itself to ICT-L15-001 - the original machine used for imaging. We've tried changing the hostname, location, WINS name which works for a while, then they rename themselves ICT-L15-001...
This might be leading to issue 2:
We can't get the WGM computer group settings to stick. The user preferences work fine, but nothing we set in WGM at a machine level works. This would be fine, but we're trying to run a script at login, which is handled by the machine preferences...
Driving. Me. Insane.
The machine settings used to work, no idea what's changed though...
Are there logs anywhere?
Thanks in advance for your help.Right, it's the renaming issue that's causing the problem. I'm adding the computer from my AD group, using it's AD ID, then it's renaming itself in the background on WGM, but still showing it's AD ID in the member group...
I deleted the machine, then used the ... button, and added the machine by MAC address rather than it's name, and hey presto!
Just need to work out the renaming thing now... -
Mac Book Pro and not Intel Imac[ don't know how to edit my post?]
I have Mac OS X version 10.6.8 and the screen is freezing up and/or somewhat crashing when I use my old version of imovie. I say old version which is hd 6.0.3. I also have the new version but I find the old much easier to use. New to me is imovie 09, version 8.0.6. Also, I have a red tint to my screen that has been going on for some time and I think that I need to replace the inverter. I have that part but I have not set down to repair and replace. I have just learned to live with the red tint, that is until everyting started acting up. Any one have any ideas as to what might be going on? Thanks in advance!
What system are you running on your Mac? Does it meet the requirements listed in this Apple doucment: iCloud: System requirements

Aliases and not mailboxes for virtual domain
I know that virtual domains are broken in 10.5.1 and I'm not sure I want to upgrade to 10.5.2 yet until I know everyone else who has done it is working fine.
My question is our OSX Mail Server primary domain is xpmedia.com. We have an old mail server we are wanting to transition off of slowly. Right now the primary domain on that old server is extremeprophetic.com. We are wanting to take every single e-mail address on the old server and make them all xpmedia.com addresses which I'm in the process of creating right now. At some point we want to direct the MX record for Extreme Prophetic to our new mail server and do away with those addresses.
I don't want to create mailboxes for those addresses as they are going away. So my question is this. Let's say my old account is [email protected] and my new account on the new server is [email protected] If when I create that new xpmedia.com address, can I just make an alias in WGM for [email protected] and it will all come to my xpmedia.com account? Or do I have to do it the way of all my other virtual domains with the editing of the virtual file in postfix and forward those accounts on to xpmedia.com addresses?I think I found out how to do this by reading another entry. I just need to make the other domain not a virtual domain but a local host alias. I think I'm good to go.

I phone 4s not showing up in itunes and not charging also
i phone 4s not showing up in itunes and is not charging alson when u plug usb cable in computer
it could be the cord. i have that same issue with my phone and it was the cord. you're not supposed to store the usb cord (or any other electrical cord) in a bunched up manner. anyway, i played around with my cord by bending it in different directions and now the cord works and my phone is recognized again. if all else fails, best to buy a new cord.

10.10.2 will not install - tried Mac App Store and Delta updater
I'm trying to install the 10.10.2 update on a 15" MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) which currently has 10.10.1 on it and its not going well!
The Mac App Store shows the 10.10.2 update, I click Update and dropdown says "Some updates need to finish downloading before they are installed. Your computer will restart to complete the updates." with the options "Not Now" and "Download & Restart". Doesn't matter which one I choose, after a click the update progress bar appears for a few seconds and then reverts back to displaying the Update button again. Have restarted, fixed permissions etc and it makes no difference.
So I downloaded the Delta update (not the combo) and go through the install steps and the system restarts to compete the installation, but the system simple restarts and does not update to 10.10.2, its still at 10.10.1. Have tried a few times, always the same.
One slightly odd issue is that the Apple remote Desktop update 3.8.2 appears to have been installed 5 times in the "Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days" section of the Mac App Store and yet it also still appears in the updates available section below the 10.10.2 update.
I've repaired permissions, restarted, checked Activity Monitor for any non responding services and checked disk space availability - 170GB available. Can't see anything obvious.
Anyone else having trouble installing this OS update?
ThanksI have the exact same problem. Tried to install the normal and combo update. Nothing happens.
I tried the repair permissions and even the reset password method. Nothing.
Did the system restore help ? did you try to re-install yosemite first keeping your files and applications ?
It's really weird.
Thanks

Macbook Pro Late 2008 not recognizing battery and not charging
Hello
i really need some help please
i have a Macbook pro 15" Late 2008 running os x 10.7.4
i will say briefly how did the problem begin and what is the problem
it stopped charging for some reason the magsafe light was (and still is) dim green and at the battery icon it said not charging but after a couple of hours that it was turned off and connected i found out it is charging really slowly
later on that week
i was using an app called DSLR remote connected to my camera i left my macbook on the table outside connected via usb to my camera waited on it and came back
when i came back my mac was out of battery
i took it in hook it up to the magsafe nada nothing not charging dim light
so what i did i knew my magsafe charger is ready to be changed so i bought a new one
tried it same problem
later on did an smc reset
it did turn on biw the fans are really loud the battery icon (x) and it said no batteries available
so i tried my old fastly drained battery it used to hold up about 1-2 hours then i bought another battery but that was in the past
so i tried both batteries smc reseting with both same result
the smcfancontrol app says fan speed 000 rpm and temoerature 0 C
and one more thing when the mac is off and not connected to the magsafe i click on the battery indicator light on the left side i get a flashing light (battery empty needs to be charged) when i connect the magsafe it stops working even when its off and while its just connected
so it is and SMC problem
it has been like that for the past 4 weeks or so
i really need some help
and im from israel so no apple genius bars around =_= and i have a good technical knowledge
Sincerely, Sari Hassounits not about solving or not its about trying to
i understand nobody wants to make any harm to my macbook
thats reasonable
anyway its a hardware faliure of some sort i'll need to check it my self but now im almost sure its not software because i've tried many things
my other option is to run it off a battery
the thing is my battery is out so when its attached the battey indicator lights do work (they are controled by the SMC) that might solve it too
thanks for replying really
its appreciated -
Excise invoice is not saving and not showing datas
in erxcise invoice i ve made settings as per the sap best practices then also the excise invoice is not saved and not generated also
please help me to solve the problem
the error is coming like this
Error in allocating Excise invoice number Interval not found Number object J_1IEXCLOC
Message no. 8I336
i ve already maintainthe number range for this object in tool in tax in goods moment
please give some better advice for the excise invoice setting.Sub Transaction type determines the subcontracting attributes and determines the accounts for the posting while doing a sub contracting transaction.
Sub transaction type is also used for determining the accounts while
doing excise removals.
Within CIN the account determination is based on the transaction type.
So normally you can have a single set of accounts for Excise
utilization. In case you need alternate account determination for
handling various scenarios you can define sub transaction types. The
sub transaction types and corresponding account assignments needs to be
maintained in CIN customization
To make customization of Sub Transaction type, goto
<b>SPRO --> Logistics General --> Tax on Goods Movements --> India --> Account Determination and check whether you have assigned second and third one, viz. "Specify Excise Accounts per Excise Transaction and Specify GL Accounts per Excise Transaction".</b>
Check
<b>Taxes on goods mvnt--indiaaccnt determination---specify excise accnts for excise transaction...maintain the sub transction type , ip or 01,
against the appropriate ETT</b>
