I'm unable to sync special characters in ical with iCloud

when i add an event into my ical with a special character like a birthday cake for instance. it will show up on my mac and in icloud but icloud will not send that character to the phone, and vice versa.

This is a font issue, a unicode problem and compatibility. If you use a char prsent on your mac, but absent on your iPhone, it is clear to me that they cannot be synced. I do not know exactly what chars are included in iPhone font(s), but some special chars are for sure absent.
such issues are common even in cross-platform transfer and even on mac-to-mac transfer if you use a font present in one mac/pc, but absent in the other.
What specific char did you use, to be more specific? Paste it here, it should work.

HT5058 Syncing Exchange Account in iCal with iCloud

I have successfully added an Exchange account calendar to my iCal. Problem is I can't get my Exchange calendar to sync with iCloud.
How do I get my Exchange account calendar to sync with iCloud since they appear in different sections? Thank you.

I think I have a solution: delete the shared calendars from your iCloud calendar list and then log into your husband's iCloud account. Stop sharing all the calendars in question and re-share them again to your iCloud e-mail address.
I had to do this very thing and lo and behold, the new invitations took just fine and now, no more 403 errors. So, the source of the problem would appear to be a server-side permissions or backoffice kind of problem. The workaround is to delete the sharing properties (i.e. stop sharing) and then re-share the calendars again. I think maybe now with this information, Apple should be able to home in on a real fix but until then, try this workaround. Hope this helps you.

Hello Zuhaib,
Sorry to hear that your iPhone is currently not recognized by iTunes. I found an article with steps you can take when you experience an issue like this. I wasn't sure whether you were using a Windows or Mac computer, so I included the respective articles for each:

Hello,
if you need to sync your media files as well, you might want to have a look at FoneSync for Android. It features an iTunes like interface and syncs contacts, calendars, music and photos.
Kind regards

How to I sync my 10.6.8 ical with icloud and then to my ipad

I find that I can sync fine with Entourage and I cal under Leopard. I can also subscribe to the Leopard I-calendar on another computer (running Tiger). However, the calendar will not go onto a web page as it used to; this is very frustrating for my colleagues! We need a fix here I think.

PDS - XML format, unable to read special characters in a string.

Hi All,
I've been using XML files to create my report with Oracle9i's new featue of PDS.
Now, I'm unable to read a file if it contains '&' or '<' in the string. In fact, the xml file itself not able to crate a xml page in the browser, if these special characters are present.
Is there any way to solve this problem ?
I can't tell the users to remove &, < from the description data. Is there any way to workaround for this ?
Thanks in advance,
Satya.

Hi Rohit and Rajesh
Thanks for your reply.
In fact, my problem is like this:
I'll get data in .txt file and save that as a .xml file in the network before calling Oracle report ,which gets data from the .xml.
The contents are like this:
<Comapy name> Ford Motors UK & Europe</Company name>
<Department> HR & Pensions</Depatrment>
<Salary>Grad4 < 25000 </Salary>
As per XML entity character representation, I need to replace '&' with '&' and '<' with '<lt;'
I'm wondering is there any other way to solve this problem as it is difficult to replace '<' and '>' generically.
Honestly, I couldn't understand what Mr. Rajesh was trying to tell.
'for & use & ( with semicolon at the end)'
'for < use <'
'for > use >'
Can you shed some light on this ?
Many thanks
Satya.

Unable to receive special characters in XML using UTL_HTTP request from Other application

Hello,
Just when you think that you know everything, it is slammed in your face that you don't. The .Mac member name field in the System Preferences DOES NOT take your whole e-mail address. It only takes your user name or whatever comes BEFORE the "@" symbol. There was absolutely nothing wrong with my MacBook Pro (other than ther brain dead user).
Sorry for wasting your time...

Unable to add special characters such as # and ( in headers of Report in Text format

Hi,
I am working on developing a report that will be exported to tab delimited text format from SSRS. The Report has been developed and it is getting exported to tab delimited text format. However, special characters in the heading are getting trimmed. I would
like to get these special characters in the heading of text file. Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Hi Abhijit,
Per my understanding that you have add an extension which export the report as .txt format, now the issue is the special characters"#" not display after exportted, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue , this is by default, when you type some special characters "#" as the textbox name in the properties window or as calculatted field name you will get error pop up window,
if you type the text in the textbox as "#" it will also not display in the CSV or tab delimited text format report.
But we have some alternative method to make them display some way, more details information below for your reference:
Display "#" in the table header
If we want to make them display in the table header, we need to create an new table an put all the table header as one record in the table, because the value in the table can display "#" correctly：
I assumed you have four columns as the table header(Test1#,Test2#,Test3#,Test4#) please create an new table (HeaderTable )to store these value:
Create two dataset2:
Dataset1: display the record from step1
DataSet2：display the record of the report
Create two Tablixs as below and both remove the header column, Tablix1(Dataset1) diplay the value comes from the step1 as the new header column:
Tablix1(Dataset2):Report Data
In this way, when export to tab delimited txt, you will got the table header display correctly.
Display "#" in the textbox outisde of the tablix
If you just want to display "#" outside the tablix, you can just add an calculatted field(Test) and use expression like below to specify the value which you want to display in the calculatted field:
="test######test"
Then you can use below expression in the textbox:
=first(Fields!Test.Value, "DataSetName")
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Special Characters in charts with web reports

Hello, we are facing a problem to display special characters in charts on web reports (it comes out badly).
The only sap note found about this problem is note n°1036745, but it is for NW 2004s, but should be solved in NW04s BIJava SP 12, and we are currently with SP 15.
Has anyone faced this problem with BI 7.0?
Thanks,
Philippe

hi Philippe
I did not faced this issue. Nevertheless there is another note dealing with the issue. Note 1088411.
Take into account that your basis should synchronise the level of BI JAVA SP the famous Java Stacks and BI SP (ABAP support package).
You say that you are SP 15 I guess it is ABAP SP as SPS for 15 is not already shipped,
if this is not the case please ask your basis to check tihs note 1013369.
Hope this could help you

Can't sync Numbers on my iMac with iCloud ?

iMac Mid 2011, OS X 10.8.3
Calendar and Notes sync easily with iCloud and my iPad and iMac. Just as advertised...make a change on the iPad and see it on the iMac and vica versa.
Not so with Numbers. Changes made on my iPad never make it to the iMac without manual intervention (very lame).
Can anyone shed some light on this issue? Is this a known shortcomming? Where am I going wrong?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Dan from New York

The process should be simple enough: sign in in System Preferences>iCloud with your Apple ID and enable Mail in the checklist. That should set it up.
Is this a new account or did you migrate from MobileMe? If the latter, you sign in with your @me.com email address.

Sync iCal with iCloud Calendar

None of my appointments in iCal show up in my iCloud Calendar. In fact my iCloud Calendar has no appointments in it. I am sure I screwed something up in the coversion and trying to remove all the duplicate entries. In any event, how do I go about syncing forcing the appointments in iCal to show up in iCloud Calendar.

Problem resolved, and I can now see the other replies, strange.
Anyway, make sure you have a back up copy of your address book and iCal. Use the Export feature to make a back up.
This is what I did to finally resolve the problem.
Go into System Preferences and open "Mail, Contacts & Calendars". Remove all accounts, use the - box.
Go into System Preferences and open "iCloud". Make sure that you have the screen that asks you to sign up for an account. DO not do this yet.
Open Mac Mail and Preferences and remove any accouts that are still showing up so your Mail is completely empty.
Reboot your Mac. Check all the above to see if any accounts have been automatically reinstalled or set up. If they have remove them again.
Reboot again and do the same thing. Once no accounts are showing open you iCal and import the file you exported earlier. This will restore all your appointments in iCal on your Mac.
Reboot your Mac. Make sure that all the iCloud and email accounts are not there. I had to do this 3 times, for what ever reason my old MobileMe account continue to be added back to "Mail, Contacts & Calendars". Once everything is clean and you have all your appointments in iCal, reboot again.
Open Preferences and open "iCloud". Add your primary iCloud account and just wait for everything to finish installing. You should see 2 sets of appointments in iCal. Click on the Calendars button in the upper left and uncheck the box under the heading that does not say iCloud. This does not remove any of the appointments it just hides the ones that are on your Mac and then shows the ones that are on the iCloud Calendar.
One last thing. In iCal open Preferences form the iCal dromdown menue. Under the "Default Calendar" option make sure that you have the default calendar related to the iCloud Calendar checked. If you do not when ever you create a new appointment on your Mac you will be creating it in iCal and two things will happen. First all your iCal appointments on your Mac will show up again and secondl, that appointment will not show up in iCloud Calendars so it will not migrate to your other devices.
Apple should give some thought to having the iCal and iCloud Calendars merged so there are not seperate sets of appointments. I know there must be some reason for doing it the way they did but if someone is going to be using iCloud what would be the purpose of having a seperate set of appointments on your Mac that you have to hide and then worry about entering a new appointment that may not migrate to iCloud if you happend to se that appointment up in the iCal list instead of the iCloud list.
