IOS5 Reminders Yahoo! Sync Creating Alpha/Numeric Dummy Lists

Hi,
I'm using an iPhone4 (also an iPad2) that sync's with my Yahoo! account for mail, calendar and reminders. The defalult "Reminders" list was created just fine and i'm able to sync with it reliably. The problem is that either the Reminders app keeps creating these phantom dummy lists on the server. The lists are very long alpha/numberic strings with hyphens, definitly not created by a person. I have been syncing with Yahoo! for years now accross several devices, and theses lists never showed up until I upgraded to iOS5 on my devices. I delete them all the time but after a few hours they just return. Please help.
Mike;

WHATEVER you do, do not delete these weird alphanumeric "remidners" in Yahoo. I did that and suddenly, all of the content in my Yahoo calendar vanished. But, worse that that, when my phone synced with yahoo, it erased all of my yahoo calendar data off of my phone too. I'm stunned! I was able to reload an iphone backup made (unlelievably) earlier in the day. After the restore, I've put my phone in "airplane" mode to prevent it from being deleted by yahoo sync again.
I don't know what I'm going to do to recover my calendar!
At the very least, I'm going to do something I haven't done in a LONG time...get pen and paper and start copying all of the entries off of my phone before I turn off airplane mode again.
Argggghhhh! I can't believe this is happening!

Alpha Numeric - GL account numbering

Hi
Our client is going for alpha numeric GL accounts. FS00 will allow creating alpha numeric GL accounts. But i wanted to what may be problem in future?
I want to know will any account determination settings like OBYC (FI - MM Settings), VKOA (FI - SD settings), AO90 - Asset accounting GL determination or any other FI process will give problem at the time of configurations or in future?.
Please help me on this. What can be the points on the basis of which i can tell client that they should go for NUMERIC GL accounts only and not Alpha Numeric.

No other feedback ?
Avoid using alpha characters – they will create problems in sequencing
and sorting data in reports, assigning codes, using ranges, and when
creating validation and/or security rules”
What does security rules in this context ?

TS3276 I need feedback for the following issue. When I send email from this 27 inch iMac, the computer adds a string of characters in vertical column that represents the QWERTY key board, all alpha numeric characters are included. Yahoo mail, issue only o

Restating my issue / question...
When I send email from this iMac, there is a string of characters assigned. The characters are all the "alpha numeric" characters on the QWERTY key board. This only occurs when email is sent from this iMac. The issue does not manifest when using any other lap top or computer.
Hence, I have ruled out the issue is a yahoo mail matter.
Again, I can access the Yahoo mail account form multiple devices and send email without unintended assignment of character strings, but when I send wmail using this iMac, the issue happens everytime.
Characters are stacked verticaly in a column. It looks as if all characters (except function keys) are included in the string.
Any ideas?

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:

This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3

Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.

Gists Created with non alpha numeric characters

Hi,
I am using Gists in my APEX application. When I upload a word document that contains tables and charts, I get a really long unmeaningful gist for that document.
For example, I get this gist (5x longer):
PROJECT MINT ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— PROJECT MINT ———————————————————————————————————————— ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— PROJECT MINT ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
How can I only return or create gists that are alpha numeric?
Thanks,
jnguyen

There might be another option that I'm not aware of, but this might just do the trick for you (I don't have a live Oracle connection available to me at this moment so I couldn't test it, you might need to debug it):
select * from tablename where 0 <> length(replace(translate(lower(columnname),'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890',' '),' ',''));
What it does is it takes the string from the column, converts all letters and digits into spaces, removes the spaces and compares the length with 0. If the string contains 'strange' characters, they will not get removed and thus turnup a length greater than 0. Pittfalls:
1) Make sure the number of spaces in the second argument of the translate is equal to the number of characters in the first argument.
2) This doesn't make use of indexes...

Reminders wont sync with my outlook tasks etc.

have updated both my ipad2 and iphone 4 to the new operating system, and was expecting reminders to work as mail and calanders have.
have is set up some thing incorrectly?

Unfortunately Tasks-to-Reminders syncing is only possible via an Exchange server or via iCloud. However syncing Tasks to Reimnders via iCloud has its own set of issues (it's not a true sync imho).
Unlike calendar, contacts, mail, and notes, you cannot sync Outlook Tasks to iOS5 Reminders via USB/iTunes.
To use iCloud to sync this one Outlook data type:
Install the iCloud Control Panel, which will also install add-on in Outlook
Set up Reminders sync
New "iCloud" groups will automatically be created in Outlook Calendars and Tasks (even if you only choose to sync Reminders/Tasks)
I'd still love to know why Apple continues to leave only Outlook Tasks off the list of USB/iTunes sync-able things...
Here's an Apple KB article to get you started (if you want to try iCloud)

Reminders not syncing properly with iCloud and iOS 8

I have an iMac running OS X 10.9.4 and an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2. I use Reminders on both my iMac and my iPhone and iCloud is turned on for both devices.
If I create a reminder on my iMac, I can see it immediately when I log in to iCloud.com and go to Reminders. It does not show up on my iPhone. If I edit this reminder on either the iMac or iCloud.com, the changes sync immediately between the iMac and iCloud.com but NOT my iPhone.
If I create a reminder on iCloud.com, it immediately shows up on my iMac. It does not show up on my iPhone. If I edit this reminder on either the iMac or iCloud.com, the changes sync immediately between the iMac and iCloud.com but NOT my iPhone.
If I create a reminder on my iPhone, it shows up on my iMac and iCloud.com. If I edit this reminder on either the iMac or iCloud.com, the changes sync immediately between the iMac and iCloud.com but NOT my iPhone.
In order for any edits/deletes to sync to/from the iPhone, I either need to create the event on the iPhone, at which point it syncs any other changes, or I need to create a new dummy event and then delete it, at which point it syncs any other changes.
Basically, it seems like the iPhone needs to initiate a "hey iCloud, here are changes from my end. Oh, there are changes from other devices? OK, I'll show those changes" protocol, otherwise it just doesn't receive any updates from iCloud.
I don't think it's an issue with my iCloud account, since Reminders on my iMac and Reminders on iCloud.com sync just fine.
On my iPhone, I have tried:
-Force quitting and re-opening the app
-Changing the Reminders sync options (Settings -> Reminders -> Sync)
-Turning Reminders off and back on under Settings -> iCloud -> Reminders
-Turning the iPhone off and back on
None of those methods have fixed this issue.
Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue or is this unique to my iPhone?

Hi mrbofus,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that you're experiencing issues with iCloud syncing your reminders on your iPhone. To troubleshoot this issue I'd like you to please follow the steps below.
General troubleshooting
Check the System Status page to make sure there aren't any issues affecting iCloud Bookmarks or Reading List.
Make sure you've fully enabled iCloud Calendar & Reminders for the client you are using. For more setup and troubleshooting information, see the additional steps for iOS, OS X, Windows, and iCloud.com in this article.
Check iCloud Help (help.apple.com/icloud) for possible information about the issue you are experiencing.
Check your settings and preferences, because something may not be set up correctly. For example, having incorrect date and time settings can cause issues that are easily resolved by entering the appropriate settings.
Troubleshooting Reminders on iOS devices
If you're having trouble with Reminders on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch) and iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
Make sure that you're using iOS 5 or later. If you meet these requirements but your issue continues, try installing the latest version of iOS supported by your device.
Make sure that your iCloud account is configured correctly in Settings. For instructions on setting up iOS for iCloud, see iCloud Setup. Reminders is a separate data type on iOS. It must be enabled via the Reminders setting in Settings > iCloud.
Make sure your iOS device is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud Reminders will not update in Calendar. Learn about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to test if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Reminders requires port 443 access to iCloud to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Calendar and Reminders servers.
If recent changes don't appear in Reminders, try forcing a refresh. In iOS 7:
Open the Calendar app.
Tap the Calendars tab to load the Calendars list.
Pull down on the list to refresh both calendar events and reminders.
If recent changes simply don't appear in Reminders, try forcing a refresh. In iOS 6 and 5:
Open the Calendar app.
Tap Calendars in the top-left corner to load the Calendars list.
Tap the Refresh button in the lower-left of the Calendars list.
Quit and restart the Reminders app on your iOS device.
In iOS 7, press the Home button.
Press the Home button twice to see preview screens of the apps you have open.
Find the Reminders preview screen and swipe it up and out of preview to quit the application.
Quit and restart the Reminders app on your iOS device.
In iOS 6 and iOS 5, press the Home button.
Press the Home button twice to open the multitasking menu.
Press and hold the Reminders icon until it jiggles.
Tap the red circle in the upper-left corner to quit the app.
Press the Home button to get back to your Home screen. Wait a minute before reopening the Calendar app.
Change the Sync settings for your calendars:
In iOS 7 and iOS 6, tap Settings > Reminders.
In iOS 5, tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then scroll down to the bottom to the Reminders section.
Tap Sync. If Sync is set to All Reminders, set it to a specific duration, such as Reminders 1 Month Back. If it's already set to a specific duration, set it to All Reminders.
Wait several minutes and refresh again, as described previously. Then open the Reminders app again.
Turn iCloud Reminders off and back on:
Tap Settings > iCloud.
Turn off Reminders. Choose to delete data only if your reminders exist at icloud.com/#reminders and on one or more of your devices. Otherwise, choose Keep Data.
Wait a few minutes before turning Reminders back on.
Restart your iOS device: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears, then drag the slider. After the device turns off, turn it back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values?

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values? I'm using the Integrator named "Projects - Transaction Import" and a custom Layout created based on the seeded Layout named "Transaction Import - Accounted". Do I need to somehow change my Layout to make the Document accept numerical values instead of requiring alpha-numeric values? I need to be able to populate the Document with a large amount of transactions and cannot feasibly go through every transaction to add the alpha-valued name of the account segment to every segment that requires it. The segments in particular causing the problem are "Expnd Type" and "Organization Name" which are both alpha-numeric and as such contain the segment number and name; I need to be able to only have to enter the Natural Account Number (6-digit number only) and the Organization Number (5-digit number only).

Unable to replicate both Numeric and alpha numeric vendors records from R3

Dear all,
In our ECC 5 environment, we have some vendors who master record numbers that are numeric internally assigned i.e 7000000 or 23000000 and some alphanumeric externally assigned i.e SmallBusiness1 or Grinad10. This is posible as you may know via vendor account groups.
We have implemented a classic scenario in SRM 4, Server 5 environment, therefore we need to replicate ECC backend vendors masters. We initally set SAP's AB business Partner (vendors) number range in SRM to A - zzzzzzzz and created numeric number ranges to match thoes set up for all our vendors in ECC.
When we ran BBPGETVD only the alpha numeric vendors records replicated down to SRM. The numeric were ingnored. The BBPGETVD t-code was reporting that the other vendors had incorrect data.
We then chnaged the AB Business Partner (vendor)number range to 000000001 - 999999999 and ran BBPGETVD. Only then did the numeric vendors get replicated down to SRM. But the issue is now, I cannot replicate the alpha numeric with out chaanging the number range back to A - zzzzzzzzz.
Question,
How can I set the Business Partner(Vendor) number range in SRM to anable the replication of both Numeric and Alpha numeric assigned vendor records down to SRM.
Thanks,
Grace

Christophe,
PLEASE HELP I HAVE AN URGENT ISSUE NOW!!!
On the subject of setting back the internal BP number range, does SRM expect it to be set for example to:
01 0000000001 - 0000999999?
Should the grouping for this internal number range be also ways set to 0001. Iam refernceing the settings in our sandbox client, they seam to be set up that way.
If its set to say 0003, will this cause a problem?
Because we have set all our BP ranges to external, any ORG unit, USER or position that we created after we "removed" the internal number range does appear to be working.
I have noticed this. when I login as a new user and try to create a shopping cart, tthe product category drop down does not work on the "new user".
If I go in the BP transaction and search for this new user or new unit org units that where created after the removal of the internal number range nothing is found!. The last internal BP number is 105.
Question.
If I set the internal number range back to
01 0000000001 - 0000099999 and set the current number to 106, then delete and recreate the org units, do you think this will work?
Please help I need to get this issue sorted out because as you said no new org unit/user can be setup.
Thanks Again.

Alpha numeric numbering production orders

Hi,
Do we need to have external numbering turned on to have alpha numeric numbers for production orders and planned orders ? By the way is external numbering allowed for planned orders ? If yes then how would MRP create planned orders if only external numbering is allowed ?
Thanks

Hi,
As per my thinking , you can try with following enhancement for getting alphanumeric numbering of production orders :
PPCO0001 Application development: PP orders
You need to concetanate the fix part ( alphabetical) alongwith number range maintained for production orders.
Pls. take help of your abaper for the same.
You can implement above as Enhancement Project in Tcode : CMOD.
Hope this helps.

Tejas

Removing Non-numeric characters from Alpha-numeric string

i want to write something generic (suppose some function to which i pass the column)
thanks in advance,

This variation uses the like operators pattern recognition to remove non alphanumeric characters. It also
keeps decimals.

The entries in "Notes" are shown sorted by date of creation. Can they be sorted alpha/numerically?

I would like to be able to sort the entries in "Notes" alpha numerically. By default these entries are sorted based on the date of creation of the entry.

As I said, it works perfectly well for me. Try putting the sidebar into Contact Sheet mode and see if the dates are sorted correctly. Here's an example from my machine:
As you can see, if you have good eyes, all are arranged in date order, regardless of day, month or year.
Just two things occur to me about your problem. I see that your date format differs significantly from mine. Try changing it in System Preferences->Language & Text->Formats and see if that has an effect. There may be a bug in regard to how Preview handles the various date formats. You might also try logging into your test account and see if Preview behaves correctly there, with everything in the default state. If you don't have a test account, create one. Leave everything in the default state and keep it around for future tests--it doesn't take much space and is very handy to have around.

Yahoo sync read only?

Why is Yahoo sync read only? That was the whole reason I've been waiting for 1.3.1 update. I use Yahoo for email, contacts, and calendar events, and one way contact listing is worthless for me (I want my contacts stored and viewable online, and being tied to my email is important).
Is this a temporary measure or is this pretty much a "lol switch to google" message?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I have to admit, like kalldrexx I'm disappointed with this as well. My story is the same: yahoo has always all of my contacts and is my primary e-mail provider. Without two-way sync, it's the difference between looking at a hot car and driving a hot car.
What exascerbates the issue for me is I've an outstanding open ticket with Palm where their backup servers mistakenly created a new Palm Profile for me under the same e-mail address my Pre is registered to, and I've lost about 120ish contacts - until they can somehow fix it. Yeah, having one-way yahoo sync helped fix some of that, my Pre is more up to date than Yahoo was and now I'm doubling up on effort to update Yahoo with what little my brain can remember.

Using alpha-numeric characters as plotchart itemrenderers

I understand, a developer can import a gif or jpg image to use as a custom itemrenderer in a plotchart. I would like to be a litte more simple and use alpha-numeric characters as the itemrenderer. For example, a plot chart describing some data for Argentina and Brazil would contain a bunch of A's and B's scattered about the plotchart. Is there an easy way to do this without resorted to creating gifs and jpegs for each character I'd need to use.

wondering under Mac OSX is there a similar feature such as in a windows environment to do the Alt + 0169 which should equal the Copyright symbol.
Essentially no. On a Mac you use either the Character Palette or a keyboard shortcut like Option/Alt + g (which gives ©).
There is however a special software keyboard layout called Uncode Hex Input which lets you input Alt + the Unicode hex codepoint to produce characters. With that layout active, Alt + 00A9 gives you ©.

Spotlight bringing up alpha numeric codes for contacts, not names

When I do a spotlight search on names, spotlight brings up long alpha numeric codes instead of the actual names of my contacts. If I click on the code, I am taken to the address book record of the contact.
Strange...
One code is:
4CDBA0BE-853D-11D9-9F1A-000D932E2424:ABPerson.abcdp
Anyone have an idea what this means and how to fix this?
Thanks

Hi, get_jr. Welcome to the Discussions.
I presume you mean you are doing a Find (Finder > Command-F) search for:
Search location: Home (selected in top slice of Find window)
Name: Contains: nameofperson
If you do it that way, you get the results you indicated as it's finding the extracted Address Book metadata entry that Spotlight uses to index Address Book contacts. Every Address Book contact is saved twice:
(1) Once in the Address Book database — which Spotlight cannot index.
(2) Again in a separate XML property list file — that Spotlight can index — in your Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.AddressBook > Metadata folder. Each Address Book contact saved in this format is given a specially generated file name that can also be used for syncing these entries with iSync and .Mac.
The reason you see the search results from Find is that the Name search criterion searches against the kMDItemDisplayName metadata attribute. For the text files of type (2) above, the value of the kMDItemDisplayName attribute is sent to the name of the person in the contact record. However, the search results show file names, as it is a Finder window, and hence displays the specially-generate file name, rather than the contact name, since that is the file name of the result.
If you search using the Spotlight icon for nameofperson it should return the Address Book contact using the person's name.
Good luck!
