Looking for suggestions to set up calendar and contacts

Hi
Ive had my iPhone for a couple months now and cannot seem to get the synching of my contacts and calendar right. When Im done, my calendar has duplicates and I wonder if I've erased something somewhere. Is there a way to create a brand new calendar dedicated to the iPhone that all information created on the iPhone is transfered to that calendar on my Macbook Pro rather than information from my Macbook Pro transferring or changing data on my iPhone? I want to retain what I have so just incase I can look back and see if anything is missing, but I wouldlike to have a dedicated calendar for the iPhone. Im still learning about calendar and set up so tips and suggestions welcome.
I am a dog trainer so I schedule my specific appointments on my iPhone and also have all day events that I schedule as "all day". Sometimes after a sync, I'll have duplicate appointments for some reason and have to go back and delete them; but I wonder if things have been erased.
Thanks for your help.

Hi
Thx for the reply. However, my iPhone is actually where I enter my newer entries. With that in mind, what would I do differently from what you suggested below?
Also, I have to organize my desktop calendar differently and not sure how yet. I have clients I work with daily, some 3 days a week others 2 days a week and so on. I wanted to break things down in colors so I created a separate calendar based on days of week I work with clients but not sure if that works when syncing.
Also, when I play around with calendar, its a bit wacky. Meaning, its not working right. But besides that factor, I tried using the tutorial but it obviously doesn't offer suggestions in organizing. Its the syncing factor that really makes it difficult.
If you have any suggestions I'd appreciate it.
Thank you,
Brigitte

Looking for suggestions on setting up our search results page

We are now about 4 months into a project.. and its now
getting to the point
that our archive table has got duplicate records( this is a
good thing )
So in our archive table we allow our employee data to be in
there multiple
times ( keeping history of each time frame an employee has
worked here )
So since the employee regardless of how many times they have
worked for us,
is always issues the same employee number for payroll
purposes... we had to
find a way to make the records unique
So the table was designed so that any employee that has
multiple records
would have a record count that would then make it unique.
Example...
Employee # Name Work TimeLine RecId
2222 Dave 1999-2001
1
2232 John 1998 - 1999
1
2222 Dave 2003-2005
2
2222 Dave 2005-2007
3
Currently our search would display all 3 records but since
they all have the
same Employee#( which is how the page is currently setup to
display the
current record )
How can we update our detail page to display employee#2222
recid 1
Since we currently have the page using the "Go to detail"
page using the
employee# obviously if you have multiple records with the
same ID the detail
page will not work..
So is it possible to pass 2 values to the detail page to
display the correct
record? or any suggestions on what changes we can make..
I guess when you stare at something for so long you don't see
the obvious
solutions...
Any help or idea on how to update this would be great..
thanks

Calendar and Contacts just stopped working

I have an odd issue creep up that Apple Enterprise support and I cannot seem to remedy, I am hopeful someone here might give me some insight.
Mac Mini Server, Running OS X Server 10.8.4.
A few users (no Open Directory)
Each user has their own contacts and calendars.
Each user can enter user and password to see server shares
As of yesterday each users account on their client Macs cannot access either contacts or calendars, the server keeps asking for the password within both calendar and contact apps, entering in the correct password still yields the error.
I have tried:
-resetting the password
-logging that user in directly to use the server be sure they can login, they can.
-resetting the password with must reset password upon next login checked
-reset all the services
-reset the databse for contacts and calendars via terminal
-removed keys from keychain
-looked at console and found errors, but they don't point to much
-restored the entire server from a TM backup when I know all was working fine. Did that and then accounts that were working no longer work, so it became worse
-apple is stumped, therefore I am starting phase 3 of digging deeper
Their suggestion at this point is a clean install of the OS which is a large undertaking and does not provide comfort as I am not sure what started this issue to begin with therefore it could come up again.
Any one out there with any ideas? I can provide more information if needed.

Yes indeed will do that. Another item I found curious is some accounts I deleted and tried to create them again but got an error stating that I could not create that account because there was another one with that name. I checked this in terminal as well but even there the account could not be found.
This am I restored from a TM backup from July 1st and things are smooth. Apple Eng suggested instead of putting the same calendar and contact account on each client Mac so that multiple users have the same calendar and contacts accounts in order to read and write to those, instead use delegation for multiple calendars and contacts. The PostgreSQL will work more effieciently with delegation.
Any experience with this?
I had a situation very similar to yours some two years ago (Server 10.6). Happened out of the blue as I was finishing setting up the server. All of a sudden the calendar and contacts stopped working. In their situation we had one account used just for calendar and contact. Separate credentials for shares etc, and no OD. I basically did everything you mentioned in the OP several times, hours on the phone w/ Enterprise Support. Even escallated to Engineering but nothing worked. Ended up doing a nuke and pave.
On the delegation versus adding each account thing. I've done both ways and never had any problems. In fact my production server has half a dozen separate accounts for major customers of mine. The only problem I have had is with my iPhone. For some reason it randomly stops updating an account so I have to remove and re-add the account. Does not happen on my iPad though.

Getting rid of duplicate calendars and contacts.

I made the mistake of syncing my iPhone while I also had MobileMe sync running. As a result I have calendar and contact duplicates of my Mac and of MobileMe account. I want to get rid of my Mac info and just use the MobileMe sync info. From here on out I will only use MobileMe to sync my iPhone. Does anyone know how to easily get rid of this other set of calendar and contact Mac info?

Probably the easiest way would be to delete the MobileMe account and then re-add it - you should then be prompted to either keep the data on the iPhone, or delete it.

"Device Pin not set in TransConfig.xml.for translator RimBB" message when I try to sync my BBZ10 with Outlook Calendar and Contacts

Hello, Does anyone know how I can sync my BBZ10 with my computers Outlook Calendar and Contacts? It was working but since my computer returned from being repaired it doesn't sync and gives me the following message
"Device Pin not set in TransConfig.xml.for translator RimBB"

I did resolve it, it was so long ago but here's what I suggest:
-First remove the software on your computer by going to the add/remove programs if you're using a PC. If you're using Mac, I'm not sure where you go.
-Then go to BB website and download the correct program for you phone
-Check both your phone and computer have all their updates
With the newest updates I have no trouble syncing my calendar/contacts from my PC to my BB and vice versa. It was just initially when the BB was so new they hadn't updated the programs. Over time the fixed the glitch, this is why I recommend you remove the program you have and start over, it will probably fix itself.

How can I sync the calendar and contacts from my icloud account to the new icloud account we set for him. I have already set up the Family connections.

Oops my bad...I see that during my troubleshooting I inadvertently left Ringtones unchecked in iTunes.

With Adobe Flash, the image is looking for a "zoom" setting and does not find it. The result is that the imbedded image is too large for the space allowed. Is there a zoom setting for Firefox?

When running FB game apps, the image loaded is too large for the FB space. The program looks for a "zoom" setting and does not find it. This was from the error screen. I have not been able to locate where the image zoom is located (found the font adjustment). I am new to FireFox and would like to sort this out please.
Your installed plug in assume Shockwave Flash 10.3, but I thought it was Adobe Flash 10.3. Are they one and the same?
Below is the warning message from the Error Console

I'm not sure the CSS warning is relevant to Flash. Maybe adjust your overall zoom level on Facebook manually from the View menu?
View > Zoom
If you have the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key to display the classic menu bar.

Setting up an account for Windows Live Mail, Calendar and Contacts

Hey guys,
Very recently my university mail changed from the regular webmail to Windows Live.
The question is :
How do I set up an account for emails, calendars and contacts in my mail.app?
Also do I have to use entourage for this purpose or will the mail app be able to figure it all?
Thanks

You will need your email server addresses for the incoming and outgoing mail servers, your email username and password, and whether you need to use login security, POP or IMAP or Exchange account type, and any relevant port numbers. Then for Mail it's simply creating a new mail account and providing the above information where requested or needed. For assistance with the use of Mail select Mail Help from Mail's Help menu and search for relevant keywords. Same with iCal. In iCal Preferences click on the Accounts icon to configure an Exchange account.
My guess is that if you ask at computer services at your university they can provide the web page at which you will find configuration instructions for using different email clients.
I am not at all familiar with Windows Live but it appears that it may be a browser based information system meaning you may not be able to access it from Mail or iCal. Again discuss this with the IT people at your university.

I have a very similar problem (5506) in that I changed my appleID loginid and now none of my home shares work. All itunes have been re-authorized/authenticated with the new appleID string. Yet I still receive this error. I too am looking for suggestions.

If you no longer have the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months) and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

I had to change my Apple ID and password in itunes. Now my icloud doesn't work and I can't update my apps on my iPhone. I have looked at suggestions on the community pages and apple suggestions but none of them are relevant to iOS 8.1.2
icloud just keeps bringing up my old email address & asking for my old password which doesn't exist anymore and when I try to sign out of icloud it wants my old password, when I tried to change my primary email back to the old one it wants me to verify it through an email address that doesn't exist. Please can you help me sort out this nightmare.

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

I use Touchdown from Nitodesk for my work email. Its a little pricey, but it works with your companys OWA (Outlook Web Access) portal. They do have a 30 day trial that they insist that you try to make sure it will work for you before you shell out any money for the app. It syncs the Calendar, notes, tasks, emails etc.
It has a discovery feature that it will figure out what it needs to configure. All you need to provide is how you log into OWA (Username/password, website) and the program does the rest. It works very well for me.
No I am not employed by Nitrodesk. I only use the program. There was no need to ask my IT people to set anything up for me.
Give it a try, it might work as well for you too.
One day I will have to give this app a try, I am just use to configuring my device to sync without a 3rd party app but I have heard that Touchdown seems to be the best thing going to setup a corp sync process..

I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

BB Link does not recognize Outlook as a source for calendar and contact sync

When setting up BB Link for my BB Classic it does not recognize Outlook 2013 (on Windows 7) as a source for calendar and contacts.

I know there are people who can and many who cannot, never saw a resolution yet, I hope someone who can will reply to your post so that is why I am replying this sends your post back up to the top. Here is a recent user who can but does have a issue: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Link/Duplicate-Calendar-Entries/td-p/3108949 I wish I could do more but I do not use Outlook or BB Link.

Using iCloud (for calendar and contacts) AND MobileMe for Keychain

Does anyone who's migrated to iCloud know if it's possible to sync Address Book and Calendar through iCloud and the Keychain through MobileMe (on a separate account)?
Situation is as follows:
I have two accounts - one MobileMe (which I use today for calendar and contact syncing) and an Apple ID (which I used for iTunes)
I wish to convert the iTunes account to an iCloud account
That leaves me with my un-converted MobileMe which I'd like to continue to use for Keychain syncing until Apple puts that functionality in iCloud or they retire MobileMe.
I guess - the nub of the question is - is it still possible to access the MobileMe preference pane and put in a different account when iCloud is up and syncing?
Thanks in advance, Jonathan.

SaltSeaShark,
I've looked at the iDisk and there's no way to do it automatically. However when you're back at your home iMac, you can copy the files that you find in ~/Library/Keychains onto your iDisk. Then when you're at your friend's iMac, you can copy the *.keychain files in your iDisk to the ~/Library/Keychain folder on your friend's machine (in the account that you're using).
That way - you can open your keychain locally - although it won't sync backwards and forwards. An alternative is to use a third-party product such as 1Password - of which there's an iPad app - as well as a web interface (when combined with Dropbox).
Hope that helps - Jonathan.

New iPad Calendar app and E-mail, Calendar and Contacts setting crashes

The Calendar app has just started to crash. I cannot open the app at all, not even after forced quit. Tried to remove the calendar in the Settings app, but noticed that the E-mail, Calendar and Contacts section also hangs. What to do? It works fine my iPhone.
Thankful for any help.
Regards
Sam

I agree this is most needed, but also for the iPhone & iPod touch devices. They should also allow changing what day is the start of the week (instead of being stuck with Sunday). iCal actually allows you to have the week view scroll by day, so you are always looking at the next 7 days, versus some dates in the past.
