MultiSync/OpenSync - any success stories?

I've successfully completed the example here, except for the KDE piece, and it was admittedly a nice low-level way of showing the basics. Not exactly what I had in mind, though - I want to sync Evolution with my N70 via Bluetooth.
I've built and installed the following (some of these are in community, but needed a rebuild following the large upgrade last week):
libopensync (community)
multisync (community)
libopensync-plugin-evolution2 (community)
libopensync-plugin-file (AUR)
libopensync-plugin-syncml-svn (PKGBUILD below)
libsyncml-svn (PKGBUILD below)
wbxml2 (PKGBUILD below)
I've set the SyncML side of things up as described here, and the Evolution side as described here. Both have failed so far, but it's the Evolution one that bothers me most - it's an actual release, whereas the SyncML code is still alpha.
So I've shelved that for the moment, and tried an Evolution-to-file sync, as per the second link in the paragraph above. This looked more promising, because connections were made to both sides, and I could see my Evolution addressbook entries going across, like this - but then it crashed, like this. I tried a SVN build of the evolution plugin, but it did the same.
So after two days of sporadic building and testing, I'm basically nowhere. I'm thinking of bumping Evolution and its deps up to the unstable versions here, in case that makes any difference.
Here are the PKGBUILDs for the non-repo stuff, if anyone's interested, or has any suggestions/experiences to add. These are probably OK, but I pefer not to put things in the AUR until I've got them working.

That's weird since I've read in the PKGBUILD you're one of the mantainers
Anyway I've some troubles in compiling that package, so I'd be glad if you could take a look to this thread, thank you

  • Any success stories? PS & Ai CS4 and Snow Leopard

    I ran out of memory too many times on my G-5 iMac with 2.5 GIG of ram trying to run PS & Ai at the same time.
    So I bought a Mac Pro tower (Quad Core- 2.66 w/ 10 GIG ram). I purchased this reconditioned (at the advice of Apple Care) so that I could downgrade the system from Snow Leopard to Leopard. It would have worked fine, but the folks in the reconditioning department decided to ship me a new machine instead of a reconditioned one. So now I CAN NOT down grade the system.
    I want a system that works! I have lost too much time with all these PS crashes- so I thought it would be safe to go with Leopard + CS4 + tons of ram. Well that is not going to work. Apple is happy to take the computer back- but I have bought the ram & monitor from a third party retailer. (I am stuck with that.)
    I would love to keep this tower if I can hear from some of you wonderful power users that now (after many months of problems) you have found Snow Leopard & CS 4 willing to play happily together.
    And yes, I thought about CS 5- but from the posts in this forum- it sounds even worse that what I am going through right now. (Having to restart my computer after Photoshop crashes because I have been going back and forth between PS & Ai and one or the other refuses to give make my memory!)
    Anybody have any success stories?

    JV:
    I would be lost without my Alien Skin filters!
    I was working in a perfect world: new machine, clean install of 10.6.4
    Then I loaded PS CS 4 & AI CS 4- then the filters.
    The versions I have were for Leopard & Snow Leopard (downloaded 11/09).
    I only add the fonts I need & have been careful that they are full licensed fonts from reprutable foundries.
    I am not taking any chances with this machine.
    I use my old G-5 iMac running 10.4.11 for everything else. I am a Freehand user so my plan all along was to keep that computer for that.
    But I also keep all Microsoft & web surfing on that machine too.
    There is a good article from Alien Skin regarding installation in Snow Leopard:
    http://support.alienskin.com/Article_84996.aspx
    Good luck!

  • Im getting a folder with a "!" any success stories??

    I have recieved both an unhappy icon and a this folder, what does it mean as apple give no direct answer. Alsohow do you phone up because they say you have to pay?? How do you organise to send back??

    Yes, I believe that there are many success stories, included mine. I have managed to fix up few different iPods from my friends and family members with the same problem. Please read the following
    Suggestions when you run into a problem of a Sad iPod icon or a folder icon with exclamation point with your iPod.
    1. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) will conquer most iPod issues.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    2. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    Still can't see your iPod?
    Several things could keep iPod from appearing in iTunes or in the Desktop/Finder when you connect it to your PC/Mac. The most likely causes are listed below in logical order. Check each one starting from the top of the list to see if that is what's keeping iPod from appearing.
    3. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
    4. Try another known-good FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
    5. Try another known-good FireWire or USB port on your computer .
    6. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
    7. Try to connect on a different computer i.e. a PC formatted iPod connect with a Mac computer or Mac formatted iPod with a Window base PC.
    8. Try to do a Erase (Disk Utility) on a Mac computer or a reformat with a PC (Disk Management tool) but ensure you choose the right Drive (your iPod not your Hard Disk of your computer).
    9. Try to run the iPod in “Diagnostic mode” . which can be accessed by pushing the “hold” switch into the “on” position and then “off” (into the original position). Then press the following buttons in the following order: “menu” plus “select” (centre button) then press “reverse” plus “select”. This will take you to the hidden diagnostic mode screen menu. It may take a few trials and pressing the buttons in the right way for this to work, so be patient and keep trying if you have to. The diagnostic mode will give you 7 choices which are: Memory, IO, Power, Status, SysCfg, Diskmode, and Reset. Don’t bother trying “reset” because in my case it didn’t work it just took me back to the same problem. Instead, choose “diskmode”, after which you should get an odd looking “ok to disconnect” sign on the iPod screen.
    If one of the above step helps to get your iPod to be recognized with your computer, do a Restore.
    But, if none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired. You can arrange for service at the iPod Service Website.

  • Any success stories with AOL & Mail??

    I love Mail (as opposed to Entourage) but I never could figure out how to make all of the stupid issues go away? Is AOL just really not compatible or has anyone actually been successfully using the two together for more than 2 months?
    In case anyone wants to try and sympathize. I can get everything working like a dream and then I would get one e-mail that would seem to mess everything up, and mail would not receive anymore... Repeat, Repeat, Repeat... Finally I got fed up and went back to Entourage.

    Tried that one before. Every time Mail acted up that is what I did to fix it. After that (and getting ride of the problem e-mail) it would work fine.
    When acting up it would "Quit Unexpectedly" then quit receiving new mail. It seemed like it was triggered by emails occasionally. I would get one it didn't like then the problem begins.
    Not a big deal just a pain, enough to quit using Mail

  • Any success stories for the SMTP-adapter?

    Hello,
    I'm wondering if someone was able to set up the SMTP adapter for XI 2.0. The documentation points to a "Adapter Engine.zip" for a demo implementation but I couldn't find it. It would be great if someone could submit a working properties file for this adapter.
    Best regards and thank you in Advance

    If you have New Every Two, deduct $100 credit + $70 rebate, you still pay $99 + sales tax on the Full price for the Tour + sign 2 years contract. Sell your Storm on Ebay, I have seen they selling from $220 to $260+ (good listing, no scratch on phone). 6 months ago you paid around $100?. Anyway, I have 3 months old Samsung Glyde that has too much problems (bad designed), I talked to Verizon customer support, within the warranty period they will replace 3 times and if still problem, they will let you choose another brand or model. Let me know if they accept the trade-in.

  • Any success stories getting Verizon to let your "trade in" a Storm for a Tour?

    I've had my Storm for 6+ months so I obviously can return it, but would love to go to the Tour but the $489 cost is a bit steep. (I'm a year+ away from the upgrade period starting).  Just curious.

  • JDeveloper success stories

    Are there any success stories about JDeveloper?
    Especially for JClient+BC4J applications with Oracle database and with or without Oracle9i AS.
    I quote from the foreword of the Oracle9i JDeveloper Handbook:
    "JDeveloper 1.0 - useless. JDeveloper 2.0 - useless. JDeveloper 3.0 - now that's interesting!"
    And what is with the current version? Is it more than interesting?
    I track this forum since some weeks and did a lot of tests with JDeveloper.
    I read about many problems and the hope, that all will go better with version 9.0.4 or 9.0.5.
    But what is now?
    Are there real success stories?
    Bye
    Holger

    Hi,
    Jdev is a great tool, but it is extremely dificult to get help when you need.
    We purchased the entire jdev suit, 9iAS and 9iDB, and I could hardly get any help. I tried here in the forum and through metalink, and often failed to get satisfactory help.
    The problem here is that the jdev forks are too busy or for whatever reasons, they only answer questions selectively.
    The problem with the Metalink is that you can never reach someone who is jdev or bc4j expert. It takes a long time and many message exchanges to get answers like "we could not reproduce your problem", "we could not find your problem in our bug DB", etc.

  • Video Card Success Stories?

    Hi All,
    I'm having problems getting my ATI HD Radeon 4350 card to play nice with Molehill on Ubuntu 10.10.  Does anyone have any success stories (with any Graphics Card / OS combination)? 
    Maybe we can use this thread to give those of us who are working on projects some insight into video cards we may want to upgrade to.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Hey folks,
    Previously, I shared my experiences concerning molehill examples and how some examples would work and others would crash before anything was rendered. I'm now convinced that the molehill examples that did work on my machine probably had the Context3D property enableErrorChecking set to true. I've examined source code for the examples I've been playing around with and sure enough, examples that crashed before now worked well when I set enableErrorChecking to true.  Conversely, molehill examples and libraries that are currently working well on my machine have the enableErrorChecking property set to true; setting the property to false makes these examples crash. Here is what the pre-release documentation has to say about this property:
    enableErrorChecking:Boolean
    If true, calls to clear(), and drawTriangles() are synchronous and  can throw errors. This reduces performance. In the default case, this  member is false.            When error checking is disabled, no attempt is made to check the  success of graphics rendering, eliminating the need to associate any  resulting error condition            with a particular graphics request.  Graphics processing is  simplified and the graphics pipeline is not unnecessarily stalled.
    I really wanted to share this bit of information with other linux users. After reading some comments here on this forum and other comments from linux users at mcfunkypants blog I'm convinced that some of us linux users have to set enableErrorChecking to true to get our code working without crashing.

  • Any success or regret stories about a total switch from Avid to FCP?

    Any success or regret stories about a total switch from Avid to FCP?
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Final Cut Studio 5.1

    I'm currently working on a job in a facility that has 3 FCP systems and uses Terrablock networked storage. I was 3 months here so I saw a lot of the good and bad with this system. It's Fiber channel so quite fast but there were a lot of issues with the compability of the OS. When working it worked well. The Avid Unity systems are very solid and proven.
    The biggiest issue I have with FCP in this enviroment is it's great if you keep a project on the same system but when you start moving edits around then you get into the media managment limitations of FCP. A large project with lots of media, audio, gfx of different types, lots of renders, can be a pain when moving and reconnect on a different system. In theory it should be flawless as you point back to the proper folders and drives but it rarely is. It can be done is just takes time. And the better the editor is with his/her media managment then the easier it is. Avid's media managment works much different so by nature it's a bit easier in the networked world. We'll see what FCP has at NAB to make this better.
    Bottom line, FCP vs. Avid is a debate that will rage. I use and enjoy them both on an almost weekly basis so I can argue the + an - of both. They are both tools, same buttons, different places.

  • Anyone have any success connecting a generic PS3 controller through Mavericks on my macbook pro

    Hi

  • Photo Book Success Stories

    i often read about the frustration folks have been having in ordering books. i was extremely apprehensive about ordering my own recently, based on the comments and feedback i've been reading. i did research on a few alternatives, but they all seemed to be just about even, and in some cases, the iPhoto process was the ideal choice.
    anyhow, i sent in an order for a 36-page hardcover book. i changed the iPhoto PDF dpi preference, as recommended, to 300 dpi using PREF SETTER.
    i also traced the PDF file down on my harddrive and previewed it before placing the order. everything looked fine.
    the only thing i should add, is that the images in my book were all 7" x 7" RGB TIFF files. they were digital paintings done using only Photoshop and no photographic images. just Brush Tool artwork.
    one thing I did, though, was to reformat the 7 x 7 size to fit the actual page size of the hardcover iPhoto book, which was 2592 x 1944.
    i sent in the order with Express delivery. it arrived here in just about 2-3 days - a day faster than expected.
    the book looks sensational. i was very skeptical, as i now had to order 3 more.
    i went through the order process again, obviously much quicker this time.
    the three books arrived even faster this time and looked equally as good as the first. the only noticable characteristics of the print quality were very, very small dot gains - only visible if you looked really closely.
    kudos to Apple for supporting this process and offering this service with the application. this is something i've wanted to do for years but never had the know-how.
    i'd love to hear about anybody else's success stories and what tricks they used to get the job done.

    I'm just about to order my first book (the large size) for a gift and very happy to read the success stories. Before I go ahead with the order, I have some questions:
    I have compiled the book and it's 'ready to go' but I am concerned if the resolution will be good enough. Can I change the dpi setting to 300 at this point or will I lose all the work that I've done?
    Also, there's one caption box that's displaying the ! error symbol but there's no text in that box and I don't want to put text in it. Is this a bug and should I just ignore it?
    And finally, is there any way to spell check before submitting the order?

  • Flex Success Stories

    Hi there.
    I have heard a lot of developers sing the praises of how
    wonderful Flex is,
    and as a developer myself, it's certainly an improvement over
    using
    Flash.exe to author Flash movies, for certain applications.
    However what I am struggling to find is "real world"
    production scenarios
    where it's ("it" being "Flex" and the whole "RIA" concept)
    actually proven
    to be of much use.
    Situations I'm investigating:
    1) Companies that have had an existing HTML-based web
    presence which
    decided to jump to a Flex-driven RIA solution, and
    experienced an up-turn
    in business.
    2) Companies which did NOT have an existing HTML-based web
    presence, and
    decided to go for a Flex / Flash UI as opposed to an HTML
    one, the
    rationale for doing so, and their resultant findings (harder
    to quantify
    the comparitive benefits in this case, I realise).
    We're finding Flex to be be difficult to justify as a
    technology. I don't
    disagree that it's interesting and it *should* be a (cliche
    alert) "killer
    app", but I don't actually see it in the real world.
    We have had a relationship with Macromedia (not sure how this
    translates to
    Adobe), and had asked them, but they never actually came up
    with anything
    (which is worrying). There seems to be a lot of claims of how
    great all
    this RIA is, but not a lot of tangible evidence that it's
    great enough for
    anyone with a cheque book to actually care.
    So here I am asking the community. Does anyone have any
    analysis or case
    studies of Flex success stories?
    I am NOT trying to knock Flex / Flash at all. On the
    contrary, I am trying
    to gather ammnunition as to how to justify using it to
    potential clients.
    *I* think it's a cool product.
    Cheers.

    My "increase sales from x to y" was an example, and perhaps
    the most
    easy to measure. How do you measure that your recruiters ARE
    more
    efficient?
    They can spend more time scheduling more drives since they
    have much
    less paperwork to do for each mobile drive and that we are
    meeting our
    blood collection goals more frequently. This is the
    improvement we saw
    when we implemented an CF/HTML application three years ago.
    I am in the process of rebuilding this application into a
    CF/FLEX
    solution, so we have obviously not seen any improvement here
    yet, they
    can't use it until I finish. But for the pieces I have shown
    them they
    are very excited. I would say there are going to be two
    savings here.
    I am implementing a much slicker, very desktop like UI much
    easier and
    quicker then if I had tried to do the same in a
    HTML|DHTML|AJAX
    techniques. So there is saving in my time. I am building new
    features
    that will allow the recruiters to create new drives, which is
    something
    that is still a very paper intensive process that does not
    exist in the
    current application. This will make it a bit harder to
    measure since
    there will not be an HTML version of this functionality to
    compare
    against. But since I can do at least some of this with Flex
    wizards, my
    development time is defiantly shorter.
    But overall, FLEX is allowing me to delver features that have
    long been
    requested, but where difficult and time consuming to develop
    with older
    technologies.
