.mac vs .me issues with ical alerts/notifications

My .mac was coverted to .me which was converted to icloud. I only use my .me email address. I even log in to apple with that ID. However it shows my username as @mac.com. This prevents me from receiving any ical invites, alterts or notifications send to my .me address(i do get the email invites). i do get the alerts/invites sent to me .mac, which no one uses. If had even tried logging out of icloud on my iphone and relogging back in using .me, but it immediately reverts back to .mac. Anyone have any ideas? i think this is something apple is goign to neeed to fix???

You cannot sync calendars or contacts with iCloud using Snow Leopard: iCal is trying to connect to the MobileMe server which is closed, and you need to remove it from Preferences>Accounts.
You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, and there is a convoluted hack which has been reported as working for Address Book (and as not working by others - I've not tried it), but iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation with Snow Leopard and iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
There are a couple of third-party solutions which may be of interest.
BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion. A single user licence (two machines allowed) is $49.99.
Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.
(I have no connection with either firm.)

I have Calendar v 7.0 and Entourage 12.3.6 2008 on OS X 10.9.2. I cannot import Entourage events into Calendar - this was never an issue with iCal. Whats happened and how can I import details into Calendar or do I need iCal back?

Mac mini having issues with system preferences retaining settings

Mac mini having issues with system preferences retaining settings; this was present with Mavericks and now Yosemite after installation. Did try removing com.apple.systemprefs.plist file (library/preferences folder) to trash, but couldn't find it in trash in order to empty it. Upon reboot the file is still missing. Please don't suggest reloading Yosemite, have very slow internet connection, Yosemite took 7-8 hours to D/L.
Any troubleshooting suggestions out there? thanks

Well, I'd open Font Book, it's included with OSX, & see what it says for Validate & Duplicates.
I would also like to add I am new to Apple computers and I'm doing my best to stay up to par with whats what and understanding!
No problem, we were all new to everything once, do let us know if you need more help or clatification.

Ical alert notification issue

I had a .mac account that was converted to mobile me, and then to icloud. Whenever someone sends me an ical invite to my .me address, i do receive an email but not an alert/notification on my iphone. If the invite is sent to .mac address i do receive the alert. In fact, sinceOS5 i dont beleive i am receving any alerts from .me ical. . I have checked all the settings. The only thing that makes sense in in the icloud settings unders account it says @mac.com, instead of me.com. I can not change it, I have tried signing out and signing back in under .me but it switichign account right back .mac. Anyoen else experiencing this? i think this is somethign that apple will need to fix but i dotn have teh slightest how to get them to do it?? any help would be great! thanks!

Yes, there are at least 2 other threads discussing the same problem. This seems to be happening to a lot of people, including me. I have only seen one possible fix (trashing the preference file and starting over), but this seems to be a widespread problem and not one involving personal preferences.

Server issue with iCal/Google?

I have been having this issue for a while: I keep getting an error message as soon as I open iCal about not being able to connect to a server because of a password issue with my synced (from Google calendar) calendars.
Specifically, the pop up says: "The server did not recognize your user name or password for account ____", and then iCal immediately crashes. This has been happening for months now, making iCal completely unuseable to me, but I need a calendar on my Mac!
Help! Please?

Have you granted the IIS user read & execute access to the %ORACLE_HOME% directory and subdirectories?

Major CalDav and Syncing Issues with Ical and Address Book

As a CEO and business owner - I loved the move over to Mac after the intel chip as installed. Yet, the issue of working on a Mac for business comes down to the operating system. Up to Snow Leopard I was very pleased.... since Lion it has gone downhill.   I upgraded to Mountain Lion and many of the issues with speed and problems with mail were addressed. Yet, it appears Apple has made a bad decision with regard to synciing to other programs.
I was told it has cut out syncing capablities for Address book and Ical (I assume other programs). This has caused great issues for The Omni Group, File Maker and Market Cirlce (creators of Daylite) and a lot of angst for me as a business owner!
To top this off - it appears CalDav is not bi-directional and has issues. In other words, it does not work as it should.
I am not sure what Apple was thining when it stopped allowing internal sync between programs. Yet, CalDav and CardDav are not always the answers!
I hope the CalDav issues are being cleaned up and if anyone from Apple wishes to comment on this I would appreciate it. I have tried to talk to support but the powers to be are the ones calling the shots on software design. Support can't fix what is broken the program.
Again, I hope Apple revisits syncing. Maybe the concern is security but it is MY DATA not yours. I just want the programs to work so I can make sales and support my customers efficiently.   You have made it hard to do this with changes.

As an IT consultant, i'm in agreement with Mr Utts.    The promise of "it just works" died with Steve Jobs.   Mac OS has been in freefall since 10.5 .    I need a fully functional OS, not an iPad on my desk. ( this means YOU Forstall !! )
Why break Samba ( a standard ), why break WebDAV ( a standard ), why break CalDAV ( a standard )??    Apple has done ALL of these things and they seem to be doing it on purpose.
The Apple "ecosystem" is just fine, but removing functionality as fast as you can, and removing interoperablity as fast as you can... if Apple products ONLY work within the ecosystem... people can and will leave Apple.    You've already run off the business users by refusing to make a real Server or real Server software.   You ran off the video user with Final Cut Pro X.   Dumbing down (and breaking) the OS is running off the IT User.
Mac OS used to easily walk the line of "hard core enough for a Unix Guru, easy enough for your Mom". Now they just want the Moms.
And i disagree, we are ALL "qualified to say what Apple might do about this...", they will do nothing.   They don't beleive they have made a mistake. They beleive WE are the problem by stubbornly insisting that things that used to work should continue to work.

Issue with updating service notification using BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_DATA_ADD

Hi experts,
I would be very grateful if anyone could help me out with this.
I need to update the object code damage code and cause code of the notifications (transaction iw22) through portal. For this I have made a z BAPI and am calling it through portal. Now for my notification type H1 the damage and the object part are mandatory and the cause part is not. Now while trying to update(through portal) any H1 type of notification which already has object part and damage part filled but cause part blank I am getting the error notification locked by EPUSER. When I run the same z bapi on R3 giving same data then error doesnt come and every thing is updated successfully.
Even from portal I am able to update other type of notification where either all damage cause or object part is blank or filled. This particular issue happens only the notifications having only cause part is blank.
The logic that I have used to update the notification where cause part is blank is I have called first ALM_NOTIF_DATA_MODIFY and have passed the damage code and object code table(notifitem) in its parameter so that damage code and object code can be modified(i havent passed the cause code table as passing empty cause code table(Notifcaus)to this bapi throws error) after calling this bapi i have called BAPI_ALM_NOTIF_DATA_ADD and in its parameter i have passed only cause code table(Notifcaus ) (I havent passed table having damage code and object code) . So on the successful execution of this two bapis i should get the updated object, damage and cause codes.
There is a sap note 1058895 which talks about the same issue but even after applying that note same problem is coming. We raised and OSS message to sap to but I guess it wont be of much help.
My observation is that after calling ALM_NOTIF_DATA_MODIFY as I am trying to call ALM_NOTIF_DATA_ADD for same notification so its throwing the lock error but the point is that why then from the R3 side this error is not coming. Are there any FM to enqueue and dequeue notifications like we have for employee numbers in HR module.

Mehul

Issues with iCal

Hey everybody.
For a about a week now I have some issues with my iCal. Since I have plenty of meetings with different people, I decided to give every Calender a unique color. But now, iCal changed the colors all by itsself to default purple. I wanted to change the color via my iPhone, but it always changed back to purple by itsself. Then, I did it via icloud.com, and it happened again; as soon as I click on another color for a calender here, it changes back to purple. What could be the reason for that? Am I doing something wrong here?
Please help me out here, because always likes iCal for its colors.
Greetings

If you have never before enabled synchronization, you must launch iSync, iCal and the Address Book to enable synchronization in each application before you will be able to synchronize your iPhone.
You'll find the applicable option in each application in its Preferences… dialog.

Blackberry 8700 sync issues with ical using pocketmac

Hi,
I have a Blackberry 8700, which I am syncing with my Powerbook G4 using Pocketmac Blackberry edition.
It is all fine apart from one thing- sometimes (but not always!) when syncing with ical it will leave the notes off of the end of the appointment.
Has anyone else had this problem or know of any fixes?

I have a different problem syncing my Blackberry with Ical. My Ical shows several "Pocketmac" in the calendar on the left and Ical takes forever to activate. This happens both to my powerbook G4 and on my Imac G5.

Syncing Issues with ICAL & Missing .Mac Icon... related?

We have been having problems with our ICal syncing for weeks, to the point where we have just stopped using our ICAL all together.
But now, my .mac icon, which I use to access my backup database is missing off my computer as well, and also missing off one of the other network computers.
Are these things related?
Any updates on when the syncing problems will be resolved?

Sync issues with iCal/MobileMe/Google

Seems like I've come across something rather sticky....
History
I have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 3G. For the first few months of having the phone, syncing worked like a charm... no complaints. I then decided that I needed to get my Appointments etc up online for my colleagues to view as I travel out of the office so went into my Google account and activated the calendar feature, adding GoogleMail as a new calendar in iCal. No problems so far.
Things seemed to work fine for a little while. A few weeks later (or long enough that I didn't see any correlation), my iPhone sync reverted back to an earlier state of my iCal calendars, including deleting a couple of new calendars I'd added in the meantime. Nothing was affected on my laptop btw. Google had gone completely berko as well. So basically no new additions in iCal were turning up on my phone.
I then thought, hey I'll try out MobileMe and see if that solves things. Answer = nope. After setting up the account on the iPhone, this old "ghost" calendar decided that it would also sync to MobileMe as well as the iPhone. When I added new things online or on the iPhone, they would both update each other, but never iCal on the laptop.
So I'm sitting here today pretty much over it, trawling the net for answers. I come across a post that says to simply delete the following folder: user/library/calendar - btw i did backup before i did this!
I do this, empty trash, then reopen iCal. Blank Canvas!
And then, after about 20 secs, the old "ghost" calendars pop up out of nowhere, with everything intact from about 2 months ago. I turn off airport, disconnect ethernet and repeat the process. Same thing happens... so somewhere on my laptop is a buried file that is finding it's way into iCal, and also overwriting all sync data just for iCal. Address Book and Mail seem to be doing just fine with MobileMe.
The reason I guess why I think it's Google interfering (wouldn't be the first time) is that it's the odd one out when the "ghost" returns... I would've thought that deleting the Calendars folder would wipe everything out, but I'm sure when I went through the original GoogleMail thingy, it would've buried something somewhere at the time.
So any help would be greatly appreciated. It really is driving me absolutely batty!!
Cheers

And it looks like I've just answered my own question!!
Just found this post online, followed all the steps, rebooted, sign out then signed back in to MobileMe, re-registered the laptop and Bob's-your-uncle.
So if anyone needs help, just follow these easy steps....
The report shows that you have some data corruption. You should be able to resolve this by resetting Sync Services:
* Open iSync (in /Applications)
* Go to preferences
* Click Reset Sync History
* Try syncing again
If that fails to resolve the issue, try replacing the database:
* If you haven't done so lately, make a backup of your iCal calendars (iCal File menu > Back up iCal)
* Quit out of all open programs
* Make sure that nothing is syncing (Spanning Sync, .Mac, iSync)
* Move these two folders to the trash:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices (~ refers to your home directory)
~Library/Application Support/iSync/SyncLocalCopy (~ refers to your home directory)
* Restart
* Open iCal and give it a few minutes to write out the new database
Please let us know if that doesn't address the problem or you have other questions.
That didn't work in my case, so I ran another report (contained within the Spanning Sync Application) and sent it to them a second time. What they suggested next fixed the problem for me.
I'm still seeing the same errors in the new report. Lets try clearing your calendar cache:
* Quit out of iCal if it's open
* Delete this file:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
(~ refers to your home directory.)
* Delete the contents of this folder:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Sync Changes/
(~ refers to your home directory.)
* Open iCal
* Wait at least five minutes until after it finishes "Upgrading Calendars"
* Sync!

Issue with Oracle Alerts after a recent chagne

Hi,
We use Oracle Alerts to send remainder emails regarding pending notifications. And we have configured these alerts to be run on specific dates of a month like 12th and 15th. For fixing any issues, we do the changes on our dev/test instance and extract them to an LDT and get them tested on QA instance and then move it to Production instance.
We have made a recent change to couple of the alerts which were supposed to be run on every 12th and 15th day of a calendar month, but after the changes they are run daily.
Following are the changes:
LDT extract before change:
BEGIN ALR_ALERTS "XBOL" "BAC OTL India Payroll Reminders to Managers on 12"
OWNER = "05132"
ALERT_CONDITION_TYPE = "P"
ENABLED_FLAG = "Y"
START_DATE_ACTIVE = "2009/08/13 00:00:00"
DESCRIPTION = "Payroll Reminders to Managers on 12th of month"
FREQUENCY_TYPE = "M"
MONTHLY_CHECK_DAY_NUM = "12"
DATE_LAST_CHECKED = "2010/02/22 05:12:08"
MAINTAIN_HISTORY_DAYS = "5"
CHECK_START_TIME = "48600"
SQL_STATEMENT_TEXT =
"SELECT\n\
LDT extract after change:
BEGIN ALR_ALERTS "XBOL" "BAC OTL India Payroll Reminders to Managers on 12"
OWNER = "021Y3"
ALERT_CONDITION_TYPE = "P"
ENABLED_FLAG = "Y"
START_DATE_ACTIVE = "2009/08/13 00:00:00"
DESCRIPTION = "Payroll Reminders to Managers on 12th of month"
FREQUENCY_TYPE = "M"
MONTHLY_CHECK_DAY_NUM = "12"
DATE_LAST_CHECKED = "2010/02/22 05:12:08"
MAINTAIN_HISTORY_DAYS = "30"
CHECK_START_TIME = "0"
SQL_STATEMENT_TEXT =
"select\n\
From the above, you can see nothing apart from MAINTAIN_HISTORY_DAYS & CHECK_START_TIME and the SQL query has been changed. Still the frequence type is M(monthly) and day to run is 12th. But still its being run daily.
Can you please let me know why changing history days and check start time is impacting the alert behavior over here. Is this expected behavior ?
Is it due to the date_last_checked being in 2010 ? If so, why the same behavior wasn't observed before change/fix ?
Regards,
Pramod.

Thanks for your response Gaurav. Reviewed the pointed out metalink note id's and they were very helpful.
The NEXT_SCHEDULED_CHECK in alr_periodic_alerts_view is set to 'T' for these two alerts which means it will be picked up by the next Periodic Scheduler run and hence it picked up. That clarifies the issue.
But this behavior was experienced only after the recent change, and with the past changes to these alerts, it used to get fired only on the scheduled date(like 12th in this case) and even at that times the NEXT_SCHEDULED_CHECK was set to 'T'.
The only extra modification this time was CHECK_START_TIME which was changed from 48600 to 0.
I was able to investigate further on this and when I set this back to 48600 and take date_last_checked back in time for this alert, it was not getting fired/run in the next time. Its running on the scheduled date only.
Appreciate any explanation on this ?

Time Zone issues with iCal 2.0.3?

I've been using iCal for a while now, and haven't had any problems until just recently. For some reason, meeting notices sent to me from Outlook (Windows XP) now appear in iCal with times for Africa (I am based in Arizona, and the people sending me the invitations are also based in the same office in Arizona). I have Time Zone Support turned ON in iCal, and the times on the PCs are set for the proper time zone as well.
The other problem is that when I reply to the invitation, Mail sends the acceptance like before. The sender receives this acceptance as an email (with my time zone being in Africa instead of Arizona), but Outlook no longer registers/updates the response.
Is anyone else out there having these issues? I have all of my Apple software up-to-date. Thanks.
G5 dual 2.3GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5) 1.5GB RAM, 2nd 250GB SATA internal HD

I don't know if this helps anyone, but I went ahead and turned time zone support OFF. I still get the meeting invitations which are off by 7 hours, but when I accept the invitation, it shows the correct time for Arizona but still has Africa in parentheses after it. It is only a workaround, but at least I know what the correct time of the meeting should be. Does Apple know that this latest release of iCal is seriously flawed, and are they going to do anything to fix this problem?
It is frustrating because iCal used to work flawlessly with Outlook up until recently, and nothing has changed on my end.

Anyone else have issues with no push notifications for ScoreCenter and CNBC RT?

Ever since updating to the iPhone 5, I have been unable to recieve push notifcations for my team alerts in ScoreCenter, but breaking news alerts work fine. I have tried deleting and reinstalling with no sucess. The same goes for CNB RT. No push notifications since the iPhone 5, even though, like ScoreCenter, it says alerts are on. I do not think this is an iOS 6 problem because both of these problems are non-issues on my iPad running iOS 6. Anyone else having these problems, or have any suggestions? Thanks.
