Multiple problems with calendar, contacts, and syncing

(1) My iPhone is mis-labeling times in my calendar. For example, I received an invitation from a Windows user for a calendar that is synced to my iPhone. The time on my work desktop is for 10:30. The time that showed up on my iPhone was 11:30. Also, on a calendar I have on my Mac, a recurring appointment at 1:00 p.m. on Thursdays was mis-labeled in my iPhone for several different times--one at 2:00. One at 12:30.
(2) My iPhone is not pushing calendar events in either direction--either from my iPhone to my Mac or from my Mac to my iPhone. I think the same is true for Contacts, even though I have checked my settings and all are scheduled to push.
(3) I believe my Contacts are being deleted when I try to sync to my Mac with a wire.
Any help to any of these problems would be much appreciated.

Give this a try: Go to google.com Contacts and remove any numbers or symbols that are in a contact's name.

All of you who use the 80gb ipod classic and have problems with it freezing and syncing with itunes...well I have joined the club. This is a serious issue with apple and they need to correct it. I have tried everything to no avial.

This is beyond frustrating. I just wasted 70 dollars between a new battery and gas for my ipod 80gb classic. It was having major issues syncing and freezing with itunes. I tried everything possible and noticed that a lot of people have been having the same issues with their ipod classics as well. I must have restored it several times and now it just totally bit the dust. Now I have to shell out 130 dollars to send it in to apple to be rebuilt/fixed. This is nonsense and I just cant believe apple isn't doing anything to address this issue. My ipod was doing great for about nearly 5 years and now this. I even down-graded to itunes 10.7, but by the time I had it set up to try, that's when my ipod totally failed and will not even come on. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Problems with backing up and syncing?

I accidentally removed my iPhone while updating it.
When I plugged it back in it asked if I wanted to restore it.
I did and when iTunes started to restore my phone to my last back up, it won't work.
It won't go into back up mode, it says backing up on the top of my iTunes screen but beside of it is a scrolling bar.
I clicked the X to stop the backing up but nothing happened.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Ian
I checked the USB and it all looks alright. I tried syncing again and got told:
"An error occured while reading from this device"
which is the normal one i get.

Having problems with recovery mode and syncing my phone.

Trying to recover my i-phone. Phone is useless until I do. It states that I need to back-up. Not allowed to do that. Help!!!

Let's get your phone to work as intended Cabowabo63! Please start it in safe mode as per this link http://bit.ly/NnpVJG Then power off/on normally. Keep us posted.

How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

How can I sync my new iPhone 4S to calendar, contacts, and photos on my MacBook?

Just bought my first iPhone after 2 years as an Android user. My 2008 MacBook would never talk to the Android, but now - they tell me - I can backup my phone onto my computer and share contacts, calendar and photos with the computer.
I've plugged the phone into the computer but the computer's Finder doesn't show it. And the phone indicates it's charging but doesn't show any way to swap data.
I feel like I'm missing something really basic ... but what?

All of this is handled through iTunes. You must have iTunes installed on the comptuer. Also, you will not be able to see any files in Finder, as the iPhone does not give you access to that information. The only time you will ever see anything from the iPhone in Finder is if you have photos in the Camera Roll.
After you download and install iTunes, you would set up syncing your device with specific apps on the computer, to handle calendar, contacts, and photos. You might want to start out by thumbing through the User Guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

Calendar problems with Outlook 2007 and plugin

We are trying to roll out outlook 2007 together with outlook connector 7.2u1 at patch level 125361-03. Installation goes ok. But we have a major problem with Calendars.
Having used Sun Mail & Calendar for years our users subscribe to a number of calendars, these show up in outlook in the left hand pane and are selectable to view, which syncs the calendar into outlook - all well and good.
Now the major problem, when syncing another persons calendar to view availability etc, all the reminders get sent to the user viewing the calendar as well as going to the owner - where we have users that subscribe to around 20-30 calendars thats alot of other peoples reminders that pop up on the screen !
Any help greatfully received.

Outlook 2007 supports reminders in non-default calendars which is why you are now seeing this issue and not with say Outlook 2003.
The bug is fixed in patch 125361-05 - you must log a sun support request to get a copy of the patch.

Hotmail Full Calendar/Contacts and Email Sync Poss...

You can set up hotmail to sync calendar/contacts and email (all folders, just like imap) through the N900 but have to set it up as an "exchange" account.
In the email client add new account and select "exchange" and put in your username and password. The next page will ask for the server which is m.hotmail.com - leave the domain empty. Select SSL (which it does by default.) Then set up your sync parameters.
This is nice for consumers who don't have a work exchange account that takes care of syncing for you.
If you run Outlook - you can use the Outlook connector to sync your contacts/calendar to Hotmail - which will then sync onto your N900. This way you won't have to use Ovi or PC Suite to sync...
Just passing along... I searched and found some info on this for other Nokia devices - but nothing for the N900 so I thought I would mention it.
Sandy

kudos for that, since i upgraded to pr1/2 i've been changing between both google and hotmail, but after pr1.3 i decided to stay with hotmail.
anyways here are the settings to get google account working :
Calendar AND contacts sync settings can be created by:
1st Open settings menu.
2nd Open "Email for Exchange" submenu.
3rd Filling in the fields as:
a. Server: m.google.com
b. Port: 443
c. Secure connection: check yes
d. Conflict resolution: your choice
e. User name: [email protected]
f. Password: your password
g. Domain: leave blank
h. Synchronize e-mail: leave unchecked.
i. Synchronize calendar and tasks: check yes.
k. Calendar: N900 (to populate existing calendar) or create a new one
j. Synchronize calendar back: your choice
k. Synchronize completed tasks: your choice
l. Synchronize contacts: check yes
m. First synchronization: your choice
A note of caution: For this sync to work your calendar must be empty. If you have already used the synchronization tool to transfer the calendar data from your old phone to your n900 it will not allow you to write the Google calendar data from the server into it. The n900 calendar will remain as a local, unsynchronized calendar and you must create another calendar for synchronization purposes. However, I believe this is not the best way to go. Instead, if you have already transferred your calendar data from your old phone open the n900's calendar, select all, and delete. Then the Google server will synchronize its data with the N900 calendar.
Reality is wrong....dreams are for real... 2pac .

My iphone 4 was crushed on the road. Bought a 4 replacement tried to restore it in itunes to get my contact info and it said there was a problem with my phone and I should contact apple store. What does that mean please?

Is the replacement exactly the same as the original ie same memory size & same version? If so it may require updating the OS software before trying to restore your stuff from the backup.

Having multiple problems with script - NTFS Permissions and AD Groups

Hi, all! I'm having multiple problems with my first script I've written with Powershell. The script below does the following:
1. Prompts the user for a corporate division under which a shared folder will be created, and adjusts variables accordingly.
2. Prompts if the folder will be a global folder or an office/location-specific folder, and makes appropriate adjustments to variables.
3. If a global folder, prompts for the name. If an office/location-specific folder, prompts for each component of the street address, city and state and an optional modifier. I've prompted for this information in this way because the information
is used differently later on in the script.
4. Verifies the entered information and requests confirmation to proceed.
5. Creates the folder.
6. Creates an AD OU and/or security group(s).
7. Applies appropriate security groups to the new folder and removes undesired permissions.

My problems right now are in the assignment/removal of security groups on the newly-created folder, and the problems are two-fold. Yes, I am running this script as an Administrator.
First, I am unable to remove the BUILTIN\Users group from the folder when this is an office/location-specific folder. I've tried to remove the group in several different ways, and none are having any effect. Oddly, if I type in the lines directly
into Powershell, they work as expected. I've tried the following methods:
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
$FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
$FolderACL.Access | where {$_.IdentityReference -eq "BUILTIN\Users"} | %{$FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($_)}
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
$FolderACL.SetAccessRuleProtection($True,$True)
$BIUsers = New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount("BUILTIN\Users")
$BIUsersSID = $BIUsers.Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier])
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($BIUsersSID.Value,"ReadAndExecute,AppendData,CreateFiles,Synchronize","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($Ar)
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
In the first case, the script goes through and has no apparent effect because afterwards, I do a get-acl and the BUILTIN\Users group is still there, although when looking through the GUI, inheritance appears to have been broken from the parent folder.
In the second case, I get the following error message:
Exception calling "RemoveAccessRuleAll" with "1" argument(s): "Some or all identity references could not be translated."
At C:\Users\tesdallb\Documents\FileServerBuild.ps1:110 char:5
+ $FolderACL.RemoveAccessRuleAll($Ar)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : IdentityNotMappedException
This seems strange that the local server is unable to translate the SID of a BUILTIN account. I've also tried explicitly putting in the BUILTIN\Users SID in place of the variable in the New-Object line, but that gives me the same error. I've
also tried the solutions given in this thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/ad59dc58-1360-4652-ae09-2cd4273cbd4f/remove-acl-issue?forum=winserverpowershell and at this URL:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff730951.aspx but these solutions also failed to have any effect.
My second problem is when I try to apply the newly-created security groups, I also will get the "Some or all identity references could not be translated." I thought I had found a workaround to the problem by adding the -PassThru option to
the New-ADGroup commands, because it would output the SID of the group after creation, however a few lines later, the server is unable to translate the account to apply the security groups to the folder.
My first Powershell script has been working well up to this point and now I seem to have hit a showstopper. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I was hoping to stay with strictly Powershell, but unless I can find a Powershell solution, I may resort to ICACLS.
As for the problems with my groups not being translatable right after creating them, I think I have solved this problem by using the -Server parameter on all my New-ADGroup commands and this example code seems to have gotten around the translation problem,
again utilizing the -Server parameter on the Get-ADGroup command:
get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) | fl
$FolderACL = get-acl ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName)
# Add the new normal users group to the folder with Read and Execute permissions
$GroupSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupName -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
$SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupSID)
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity,"ReadAndExecute","ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
# Add the management users group to the folder with Modify permissions
$GroupMGMTSID = Get-ADGroup -Identity $GroupNameMGMT -Server chadc01.jacobsonco.com | Select-Object -ExpandProperty SID
$SIDIdentity = New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier($GroupMGMTSID)
$Ar = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule($SIDIdentity, "Modify", "ContainerInherit, ObjectInherit", "None", "Allow")
$FolderACL.AddAccessRule($Ar)
Set-ACL ($FSRoot + $FolderPath + $FolderName) $FolderACL
Going this route seems to ensure that the Domain Controller I'm creating my groups on is the same one that I'm querying for the group's SID to use in the FileSystemAccessRule. It's been working fairly consistently.
Still having issues with the translation of the BUILTIN\Users group, though.

Duplicated contact when I synced with gmail contact and iCloud. How can I do?

Duplicated contact when I synced with gmail contact and iCloud. How can I do?

On your iOS device tap Settings > iCloud. Turn Contacts off.
Reset the device. Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Now tap Settings > iCloud. Turn Contacts back on.

Thanks.
