ICal Print List Hang / Font Issue / Sync Problems...

Okay, here's a couple issues all wrapped up into one thread/post - reason is cause I suspect they may all be tied together somehow, but am not sure.
Sync Problems...
Regarding the Syncing problems, you can find an ongoing thread about @ http://forums.markspace.com/viewtopic.php?t=1632
In short, some of us are having issues with events syncing to our Palm to the wrong timezone, causing them to be an hour off (usually within the new & old DST date change). Yes, all the usual fixes have been tried - pls read the thread noting "adairnet" and ymatto" postings.
Also, in addition to this time issue, I have iCal events that I've deleted in iCal still show up on the Palm after one-way syncing!
Print List Hang...
Every week I print a "list" of events from a certain calendar. The past couple weeks I noticed some lines in the notes field printing on top of each other. Twas odd indeed, but I hadn't had the time to look into the reason. Then this week I was going thru my usual printing proceedure and now iCal locks up, hangs up, crashes, forcing me to force-quit the program. It's usually after I extend the dates beyond 2 or 3 days, but I've not been able to find a consistency. I've redone events thinking they were corrupt with no success.
Font Problems...
After the Print List issue above, I opened my Console program to see if it was reporting anything. At first it indicated that it could not find Helvetica Neue and would substitute it for Helvetica. This put me in touch with some font corruption - so I got rid of those bad fonts and activated Helvetica Neue which got rid of that message. But made me wonder if there are more font problems causing the print hanging & syncing problems. I have FontAgent Pro and do have some font issues that I'm trying to work out.
But the Console is displaying another string of messages every time the Print List proceedure hangs up which I cannot figure out...
2007-04-24 16:24:54.151 iCal[28975] NSATSGlyphStorage inconsistency. Cannot find run storage for character range {138 67} for CTRun 0xDBE87D0. Ignoring the run...
2007-04-24 16:24:55.175 iCal[28975] -[NSMutableStringProxyForMutableAttributedString replaceOccurrencesOfString:withString:options:range:] called with out-of-bounds range. For apps linked on Tiger this will raise an exception. For earlier apps it will produce this one-time warning and continue with existing behavior (which is undefined).
2007-04-24 16:24:55.176 iCal[28975] * NSThread: ignoring exception '* -[NSMutableStringProxyForMutableAttributedString replaceOccurrencesOfString:withString:options:range:]: Range or index out of bounds' that raised during delayed perform of target 0xdde58d0 and selector 'renderPreview'
So, all of this is causing me to wonder if the iCal or SyncServices database is corrupt. Is there a way to dig into the iCal db and check for corruption &/or fix it?
Or does anybody have any further suggestions on any of these issues?
thanx.jason.

RedKamel,
The SyncServices folder should be avoided like "a swarm of bees". This article discusses some of the issues that can arise when the SyncServices folder is deleted or modified:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301920
Data loss and Data corruption can result from deleting or modifying the SyncServices folder, and that data loss or corruption can be propogated to devices, .Mac, and other applications that sync with SyncServices.
If you have isolated an issue with the other steps in your post, I would recomend speaking with AppleCare before removing that folder.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

  • ICal Print List - Why are to-dos randomly sorted?

    When printing from iCal in the list view, my To-Do List is NEVER sorted the way I sorted it in the main iCal window (whether by Calendar, Priority, or Manually). Instead it's just sorted randomly, which is very unorganized.
    Does anyone know why this is, or what can be done to fix it?

    It sounds like from your description that you're entering a date as a string in the todo description. Ideally you should be entering the date as the due date. This will help the sort order both in iCal and when printing. When you decide to print the To Do List, make sure View is set to List. Only check To Dos. In the time range, select the range you want to see. Anything without a due date will be printed under the heading To Dos without Due Date.

  • Why doesn't iCal print "Lists" in order, still, after how many different operating systems, and now with Lion?

  • Print listing for fonts NOT installed?

    Is there an app that will let me print simple font samples for those not installed? I have a large library of fonts and I'd prefer not to install - that would be pretty time consuming. TIA.
    BTW - I do have FAP but it only lets me print installed fonts.

    You might want to search at www.versiontracker.com. I did a quick search using "print font" and found a few apps that look like they might work for what you want. Among them was http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18451

  • I have a new Macbook pro and need to run some Windows software, it appears "Parallel" should work well from what I've have read. Will I have any issues or problems accessing and printing from various printers on my Windows 7 network within Parallel?

    I have a new Macbook pro and need to run some Windows software, it appears "Parallel" should work well from what I've have read. Will I have any issues or problems accessing and printing from various printers on my Windows 7 network within Parallel? Is Parallel in fact the best way to go?

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • Printing iCal in list form

    When printing a calendar in list form, is it possible to print only the days that have events?

    I just tried this for the first time lastnight and cannot believe how something so simple does not work. I have a calendar just for birthdays because I was working on a new iPhoto calendar. I wanted to print the list of birthdays and dates so I went to Print in iCal and saw the 'Print List' selection and thought that would work great.
    I selected 1/1/08 as the start date and then selected for 365 days expecting just a list of upcoming events in the calendar. Instead it wants to print page after page with every date on it for the next year even if there is nothing scheduled for that day. It just prints 'None'. How hard would it be to have it just print what is in your calendar for the next xx days. I think it would be handy to have a list of upcoming events printed out to glance at or mark up.
    I am glad I am not the only one that thought this was so simple, yet impossible to do. I hope it gets changed. Maybe with Leopard it will be different.

  • HT2509 Despite what this article states, Apple support told me not to try to remove any fonts as it could cause other possibly serious problems.  Is there a program which can be safely installed which will keep at the top of the font list those fonts whic

    An article in the New York Times yesterday told how to remove unwanted fonts from the Font Book.  I followed its instructions (the same as those on the webpage "support.apple.com/kb/ht2509") and was NOT successful in removing fonts.  Despite what the newspaper article and the web page stated, my attempts to remove fonts were unsuccessful.  I use perhaps 15-20 of the hundreds and hundreds of fonts, and deleting those I don't use would make choosing a font a lot faster.  I called support and was told not to try to remove any fonts which I myself had not added to the list(I have not added any) as doing so could cause significant problems elsewhere.  The support tech suggested that there might be independent software programs which would keep at the top of the list those fonts I have used, which sure would speed up the process of selecting a font.  Anyone know of such a program, or how to safely alter the font list Thanks.

    I just spoke again to tech support and this time an answer was provided that works!  Choose the font you want to use, drag it to the left, and a new "unnamed" folder will appear.  Continue to drag into that folder fonts you want to use.  You can click onto that folder to change its name.  Then when using font book merely click on that folder to open it and select the font wanted.  This tech rep also confirmed that you should NOT try to delete individual fonts as they are part of the basic operating system; he did confirm that the apple web page in parentheses above says otherwise, and will refer that to higher ups to see about removing or modifying that page.

  • Strange audi sync problem & different, stranger video sync issu in sequence

    I have two strange occurances with one particular set of media that was downloaded from the same original source mini-dv (recording in dvcam) tape. I have not found the same issue on any other footage.
    1) when the media is imported into FCP, the audio is out of sync. it is slightly out at the beginning and then gets progressively worse.
    2) when this footage is used in a sequence, the video that show in the sequence is not the same as the video that is exported when this sequence is exported as QT movie (or any other export option) Like the audio the video out of sync gets progressively worse.
    - The original media is perfectly in sync looking at the digitized source ie: in Quicktime. There is no audio out of sync problem.
    - the only difference I could see in the file was that this media is 3.5mb data rate whereas all the others are 3.6mb.
    - other tapes from the same camera do not have a problem
    - I do all my downloading from a firewire deck and not from the camera
    - I upgraded from 6.0.1 to 6.0.4 (as did the QT 7.5 upgrade also) to see if that fixed the problem but to no avail.
    Very perplexing. I managed to work around this problem in a sequence whos deadline was looming by manually slipping the footage in the sequence the required number of frames. This is where it also gets odd. I was able to do this by
    - double click the clip in the sequence which then loaded that into the viewer.
    - position the playhead at the beginning of the clip
    - from the canvas select the go to position in master clip option which then loaded the masterclip into the viewer. the position in the masterclip was always the correct frame (ie the frame I expected to see as per my edit). The frame showing in the canvas was also the correct frame (but this would not be the case when exported)
    - the next thing i did was to use the slip tool, as soon as i held the slip tool over the sequence clip, the frame in the canvas would be the wrong frame (the frame i would see when I exported).
    - then i would just carefully slip the sequence clip back to the matching correct frame. So watching in the viewer, I would align the frame that showed in the viewer to the frame in the canvas.
    When done the frame showing in my sequence would be a completely different frame but when exported, the frame that I expected to see would be the exported frame.
    I could find no logic to the amount I needed to slip each time (I am sure there is logic but I couldnt figure out what that was). the clip at the end of the footage needed to be slipped -10:09, and this got progressively smaller to the clip at the beginning of footage needing to be slipped -:16
    Hopefully that wasnt too confusing.

    btw, i have tried recapturing the footage and i have offlined it, copied it to another location and onlined it in the new location to no avail. still have the sync and video in sequence issues.

  • Problem with printer list in Excel 2010

    I am using Windows 8.1 and Excel 2010.  One of my printers is listed twice with slightly different names in the choice of printers when I go to print an Excel spreadsheet.  That same printer is shown only once (and by one of the names used by Excel)
    under "Devices and Printers" in the Control Panel. 
    How do I get the Excel list to duplicate the printers listed under "Devices and Printers", and thus delete the second listing of one of my printers.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that Excel 2010 displays duplicate entries of the same printer in printer list. If it is right, this issue might be caused by the third-party program
    interfere with the printer agent driver and Office, such as encryption software, the other customer solved it by remove the third-party program. Please see the similar issue:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/fbcac3c3-c389-45c8-be80-1cf19f044250/office-2010-displaying-duplicate-entries-of-the-same-printer
    I recommend we run Excel with
    Windows clean boot to test.
    Then, we could check if there are residual information with
    registry key.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices
    Please note: Backup the key before modify/delete
    Hope it's helpful.

  • 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.

  • Epson DX5000: printer list problem

    Hi all,
    I have a Epson DX5000 printer.
    I have installed it but it isn't in printer list (when I try to add a network printer, hosted by printer server, Epson DX5000 doesn't appear in model printer list).
    Any suggestions to include new Epson DX5000 in printer list?
    Power Book G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Network printing either requires a CUPS driver or, if the printer has networking built-in, a proprietary comm choice like Epson IP or Epson appletalk will be available in Printer Setup. Since you mention a print server, I'm guessing this is a USB printer. Epson doesn't provide CUPS drivers, their driver was written for USB only.
    Gimp-Print, included in OS X, (a collection of CUPS drivers) doesn't include your model or any of the DXxxxx models. I recommend you upgrade to the newer version, now called Gutenprint 5.0:
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1537
    Gutenprint has DX models up to DX4800, which will "probably" work for you.

  • HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP printer cancellation of fonts

    I have a technical question.  I developed my own word processing and printing programs starting with the original IBM and epson dot matrix printer and then the HP Laserjet printers.  Students a University of Pennsylvania and Princeton used my programs
    to write their Ph. D. theses.  Now there are plenty of programs do to this but I have  kept my current.  Everything was fine until the printer listed in the title.  My program loads fonts in the printer.  The font # are 7000,7001,7002,7003,7004. 
    I choose these numbers so as not to interfere with other fonts.  My program runs in DosBox and sends data to the printer by writing to the file TRASH789.PCL in the directory C:\SPOOL and the program printfile (downloaded from the internet) spools the
    file to the printer.  When my program begins it sends the esc sequence that selects the fonts.  Also I set the  line feed to be 1/2 a line feed.  (My programs works like a typewriter and subscripts and superscripts are just a 1/2 space
    up or down.)   On all other HP printers for say 20 years everything is fine but with the printer mentioned above my font selection and 1/2 line feed are canceled.  Various sequences of character will cause this to happen.  It is pretty
    random.  One sequence I have isolated is below.
                        a3  a3  a3
    The a's can be upper or lower case.  There can be other characters between then etc.  But if the first few lines that at printed contain these characters the fonts and 1/2 line spacing are canceled.  If you put a paragraph before the a3,a3,a3
    it will not happen.  It the a3's occur at the top of a new page it will happen. 
       I have tried various things to fix the error like repeatedly telling the printer to select my fonts, or loading an empty rasher of graphics a the top of the page but nothing works.   Fortunately for 95% of what I print it is not a
    problem.  I have work around solutions, making a PDF file using GHOSTPCL, or using another program that uses rasher graphics.  (I wrote this some years ago when I bought a DESKJET printer.  Now computers are so fast that the time delay with
    the rasher graphics program is hardly  noticeable. 
          I realize that the number of people with my problems can be counted on one hand so there is no great motivation for fixing this problem but given the other problems with this printer (I have seen mentioned on the web) it seems
    to me there may be a connection.  (I only bought this printer, scanner, fax, etc)  because I had a grant that was expiring and I wanted to spend the money.  My guess is that will all the functions of this printer, probably set up by different
    groups of people, the printer has glitches.  As someone who has spent years on my own programs I know it can take months to figure them out.  My only hope is that maybe this might help someone.
       Thanks for your attention.

    Hi treborpowers,
    According to your description, you developped a program which runs in DosBox. When this program running, it sends request to DosBox, then DosBox sends request to Windows to call  Microsoft font 7000,7001,7002,7003, 7004, then Windows responds
    this request, however, the program could not print the font in DosBox correctly. Right?
    Since it is difficult to narrow down the issue is cause by Windows, in order to resolve this issue effectively, please get help from the professional forum about the programming language.
    Thanks for your understanding!
    Regards,
    Lany Zhang

  • Cannot add Epson SP 1400 to printer list after installing driver

    I have a new Epson Stylus Photo 1400 and I'm having trouble adding it to my G4's printer list. I'm running OS 10.3.9. I installed the driver from the Epson disc but when I get to the Add Printer stage, the printer isn't on the list. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the printer software several times to no avail. I called Epson Support and they walked me through downloading and installing the newest driver, checking that the USB cable was good and connected, printer turned on, etc. Each time after the installation, the 1400 driver isn't in the Library > Preferences > Printers folder. When I open the Printer Setup Utility and click Add, nothing happens. It doesn't even open another window. Epson Support then advised me to call Apple because my OS might be corrupt. Before I try reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd see if someone had a better idea. I see similar problems from other users with Epson printers. Can anyone help?
    Thank you!

    I am having the same problem but with a newly-purchased Epson R1800. I followed the Epson instructions but when I got to the "Printer Setup Utility" it would not open; it was as if it wasn't even there. I know its not included with Leopard but should definitely be included with Panther since Epson says the R1800 will work with Macs using OSX(10.3x)! I called AppleCare (my expense), gpt a work order number and worked with them for half a day today with no luck. First we tried "disc first aid" but when that didn't work I ended up doing a full reinstall and archive with their assistance. Still no luck! The person assisting me tried but was unable to resolve the issue and asked me to hold on for another expert; I waited on the phone to speak with that person for over two hours and eventually had to hang up after figuring I was placed "on forget" instead of "on hold". When I redialed AppleCare, the recording told me they were closed for the day. Any help would be appreciated - from anyone!
