New day, new problem...CalDAV

Hey guys, I used CalDAV to sync my goolge calendar with my iphone. This has worked great for the past year, first on my 3G and initially on my 4. Yesterday it stopped working. I keep getting a incorrect password error for my CalDAV account. I've reset the phone, reset all settings, deleted and recreated the CalDAV account a multitude of times and it's still a no go. Anyone else having an issue?

Well, I sorta fixed my problem. I did away with the CalDAV and am using the google exchange server now. This still doesn't answer why CalDAV used to work and now doesn't.

  • New Project - New Problems or The day the Reaper died

    Ok, this is more like telling a story than a cry for help.
    The story is about a new project, new (great) results and the disaster that followed.
    Well story starts October 21st with me upgrading rig 1 with new parts. They came for my Opteron165 setup which oc'ed nicely but didn't make it far enough. So board, cpu and ram of rig 1 (sig) got replaced by the following parts:
    The new cpu is an Athlon X2 5200+ EE (TDP 65W), 2.6ghz, 2x 1024kb L2 cache, 90nm, F3 stepping.
    The board is from MSI (of course), a K9N SLi Platinum. Very nice board and luckily it is PCB version 1.2 which features a heatpipe while the older version just had a very bad cooling, passive aluminium heat sink. The older version is the one still to be seen on MSI product site.
    The new one looks therefor way better and stays cooler:
    In addition I threw a pair of the finest ddr2 ram in it. A 2gb dual channel kit of OCZs new DDR2 PC2-6400 Reaper CL3 Edition. DDR2-800 with 3-4-4-15 (stock), guranteed to work with 2.3volts.
    So suppositions for oc were great and I started:
    First of all upgraded the bios from 1.8 to the latest 1.10. Then I thought why go step by step, why not starting big. So I set HT clock to 250mhz, resulting in a cpu clock of 3250mhz (multi 13), Hyper transport link set to 800mhz (x4), ram very relaxed (divider 667, 5-5-5-15 2T). It didn't post but I thought solution is easy, forgot to set extra voltage for cpu. Next try at 3250 mhz with 1.25v and set 0.1v extra in bios. It didn't post. I set voltage to maximum but no luck. Tried again but this time I lowered the HT link to 600mhz (x3). Now it posted even with 1v extra and it also booted XP but seemed to be not very stable. So set extra voltage to 0.15v which enhanced stability greatly.
    After minor driver problems my old XP installation worked pretty perfectly with the new setup. Time had come to see if it was stable and I started Orthos. It seemed to be ok, 1hour no problems, 2hours, 3hours and bam... 3hours 40 minutes and that's it. I thought "Damn, but it will make it with more voltage". I added more voltage (0.2v extra) and started Orthos again but no way, at 4hours 32 minutes it stopped again.   
    I'm not easy to discourage and so I added 0.25v to the 1.25v vcore and tried another time. Still 250x13 = 3250mhz.
    And it worked!
    Orthos now easiely worked six hours when I stopped it myself to see if it would also be stable with more intensed ram settings. I set ram divider to 800mhz (1:1) resulting in DDR2-929 and timings to 4-4-4-15 2T.
    I started Orthos and left the machine alone... Outstanding 16 hours later it was still working!
    After 17hours 5 minutes and 50 seconds of running Orthos I knew I had a stable beast!
    It also worked with ram set to divider 667 (resulting in 406mhz or ddr2-812) and 3-4-4-15 2T. However 1T was a real killer, thats why I left command rate at 2T and were happy so far.
    Performance was really good and I wanted to know if this would increase my 3dmark06 results which were already great with old setup because of nicely oc'ed 8800GTS 320. The opteron could do 9572 3dmarks with it.
    The new setup easiely broke the 10.000 points by reaching 10306 points with cpu at 3250mhz, ram at ddr2-929 (4-4-4-15 2T), vga as seen in sig.
    It really seemed to be finished. The rest would be just playing around and going for suicide clocks. At least that was what I thought at that time.
    Before maxing it out I wanted to have the Vista 64 Ultimate installation also running with the new setup. I hadn't booted vista since upgrading to the am2 system, so I tried for the first time....
    AND NOW EVERYTHING GOT F***** UP
    Vista welcomed me with a blue screen instead of a logon screen. I was pi**** but aware it might not like changing from NForce4 SLi to NForce 570 SLI. Next step was trying safe mode but vista thought of blue mode and showed a screen of that colour. I thought "ok, maybe you dislike setup change" and so I went for a clean install. I even formated the partition and gave it a go. Installation was fine 'til first start. Well, it wasn't a start to be honest as vista told me it was not able to do this. Repair wasn't successful either.
    Assumption was now system is not making the oc clocks although proved to be stable under XP. So I removed any oc and loaded fail-safe mode in bios. Relaxed ram timings to 5-5-5-18. I started installing vista again, thought I could oc again when it is installed.
    Oh boy, how wrong I were...  The 2nd installation turned out to be as faulty as the first and I tried again and again... After installation failed nine times I were finally discouraged.
    I just wanted to boot XP for now, forget about installing vista and maybe ask here if it this was a known issue.
    Well, I didn't get to see XP. I was just informed about a missing file that also prevented to boot safe mode. I took my XP cd and started automatic repair. After this was nearly finished the first errors and notifications about unknown, missing or corrupted files appeared. Although XP made it to finish install and booted successfully. But this XP wasn't a real XP as many things didn't work. I couldn't install drivers because loads of errors and crc crap made working with it impossible. Clear install time! But no way, same issues like seen in vista.
    Now I were pretty desperate and I urgently needed an idea.  I came to the solution maybe I could try with single channel, using just one mem stick. I removed one and tried installing XP again. It worked without any issue. Even driver installation and other software worked without a problem. Now I were even able to install Vista.
    But still I didn't know what caused all the trouble. I had three suspects: Mobo, ram, cpu. I doubted in faulty board but cpu (failing to control dual channel) or the ram stick I removed were my favorites. As it was the easiest to try I put the other stick back in but used a slot combination that would cause single channel.  Booting Vista now turned out to be a disaster. Errors, corrupt files and so on. Same with XP.
    Conclusion: Dual channel is not the problem. Added mem stick was now suspect no.1. I took the first one out and started memtest. Memtest didn't show errors after 8hours. I wondered and started Vista. Result was the same as seen before with two sticks. Errors and access violations. Replaced this stick with the other one and everything was fine again.
    Next day I tried with a borrowed MDT 2gb dual channel kit which also worked without a problem. 
    Sad but true one of the Reapers is K.I.A. . Damn....
    Now I'm sitting here with a borrowed kit of value ram which luckily allows me to let the cpu run at 3250mhz with mem divider at 667mhz (result: 406mhz) and which I can luckily keep 'til I get another kit of Reapers. I have to send my current Reapers back to vendor these days and wait for the rma process and wait and wait....
    So what started greatly ended not so great. For now I'm sick and tired of seeing bios screens or installing windows and I'm also pretty pi**** because of all the data I lost. Some crucial ones among them.
    Main problem remains: I have no idea WHY the Reaper died. I never set any higher vdimm than 2.3v what should be ok for it. It never felt hot and was directly in the main airflow. Also I have no clue why memtest didn't find any error with the faulty stick.

    Be aware that you have to keep an eye on shader clocks when oc'ing the gpu. With common tools you're oc'ing gpu and shaders at the same time. Since I'm suspecting a misproportion of gpu/shader clocks to be one of the reasons for problems with factory oc'ed Geforce 8 you should try with different combinations. With the latest Riva Tuner you can change 'em seperately without having to mod the bios.
    Memory is at it's end I suppose, that's the problem with most high end cards, no potential. Seems as you have to live with that.
    That's true for HD2900 series I think but as far as I know 8800GTX needs it even for stable working.
    Could be your psu is too weak, maybe really time for the new Corsair. On the other hand should be strong enough I guess.
    You're ungrateful! That good old 3500+ oc'ed so well and was once a real performer and you call him crap.... bad boy.
    "You're ungrateful! That good old 3500+ oc'ed so well and was once a real performer and you call him crap.... bad boy. "
    yes you are right the CPU perform great, but its just old..(is not CPU fault in direct sense )
    "Be aware that you have to keep an eye on shader clocks when oc'ing the gpu. With common tools you're oc'ing gpu and shaders at the same time.

    Yes im aware about it, but not this is the case.. i got instability even with 2Mhz on the GD more...SD remain @ stock 1350 and memory stock as well.. and go instability...
    Reversed story if i put everythink is stock, but +2Mhz more on the memory i got the same instability....
    "With the latest Riva Tuner you can change 'em separately without having to mod the bios."
    hmm nope here, its locked increasing GD clock inscrease SD clock as well. they are locked and increased in parallel.(etc, both in same time)
    "Memory is at it's end I suppose, that's the problem with most high end cards, no potential. Seems as you have to live with that."
    mem. chips used are for 1000Mhz the VGA stock, MSI is not OCed them.. so they must have potencial.. also VGA is adverted with DOT... at least its designed to handle till 5-6% OC, i have done few review(don't trust much here,but anyway its an info) and user opinion no problem to OC till 2100Mhz(1050). So i doubt that is memory problem.
    "Could be your psu is too weak, maybe really time for the new Corsair. On the other hand should be strong enough I guess."
    Yes that is the only conclusion which i can stuck at the moment... Good news is that i have talked with distributor today and they ensured me that will delivered tomorow for me. So tomorow i will know more about that mistery when i install the more powerful(and hope so great) PSU.

  • How do I automatically create a new file at the beginning of a new day, otherwise I only want to append that days file?

    In my robotics application I store my data using "Write to Spreadsheet.vi". I would like to append the file each time I run the program on any given day. On a NEW day I would automatically like to create a new file with a smiliar name and append that file for the day on which it is created. It's easy to do using the "Write to Measurement File. vi" but the text file created is vertical rather than horizontal, so I would like to use "Write to Spreadsheet". Any suggestions?
    Also how to I include my VI as part of this question for others to see?
    Thank you.

    Does the file you are writing have a timestamp in it?  If so you could read the timestamp from the last time it was written and see if the day has changed, handling the name of the file appropriately.  The easiest way to record the timestamp is probably to write the timestamp as the number of seconds that have elapsed since 12:00 am on Firday January 1st 1904 in UT.  The "Get Date/Time in Seconds" function will give you this value.

  • I'm trying to write a VI that updates a file each time it is run, but on a new day a new file is created which is updated until a new day begins.

    I have written a VI to create and update a file as many times as needed on any given day. On any subsequent day a new file is created which for that day will be updated each time the VI is run and so on. The problem is that when I run the VI the first time of a new day, ie when the file is created only data is written to the file and not the header data. When the file is appended, header data, and regular data is properly written to the file. Can anyone tell me how to correct this problem? A copy of the VI that I wrote is attached.
    Thanks,
    Chuck M.
    Solved!

    File - create new on date change.vi ‏15 KB

    You had the header information written when there wasn't an existing file, then you overwrote that file with another file consisting only of the data because you wired the "append to file? (new file:F)" the same for both functions (F causes it to create a new file).  I put the header writing function in a Case structure because you only want it to execute when this is a new file (otherwise it'll overwrite what's there).  Wire the path straight through the False case.  I wired a TRUE to the data writing function to always append (because there will always be a file by the time the program gets there).

    PS - a few other observations
    Avoid sequence structures
    You don't need the property node
    Use Path functions (not string)

  • E6 new Firmware critical problem

    Hi,
    After 3-4 days of upgrading to latest firmware(for E6)..the screen goes blank/locked while dialling or attending calls,  even during the alarm too, screen goes dead.
    honestly, i sensed the problem while switching off my alarm but touch-screen didn't respond well & later experienced the screen went blank/locked/unresponsive(till u cancel/end ur call) for dialling & attending calls too.
    my phone is @ Nokia care since monday, they promised me to return in 1 hour & now its more than 4days, & now they escalated the issue to L3 support vch may take another 10days.
    Anybody having idea. I request NOKIA moderator to plz look into d issue@ d earliest.
    My Location:Bangalore/India
    P.S. There are some more ppl who hv experienced d same prblm & they are ended up everytime by replacment with new phone, coz they again did the upgrade on new phone & same problem started after 5-6days. Its a critical problem. smbdy help!
    ~Suren

    Dear posters
    I too was confronted with this problem on my E6. I upgraded to Belle refresh and from that moment, whenever I receive a call, make a call, or when the alarm(clock) signals, the display goes black
    When receiving a call, Very, very briefly (maybe as short as two-tenth of a second) I see the caller info in a flash before the screen goes to black (so I can not really read it)
    After the call (or - in case of an alarm sounding - after stopping the alarm, the display is illuminated again
    Also, in my situation, no protective foil is covering the proximity sensor nor something else is obstructing it
    It happened directly after the update, before it everything was fine which makes me convinced that it can not be a hardware failure
    This assumption is backup up by what I have read on the web:
     the module in the E6 that is detecting the proximity (as well as performing the ambient light detection) is called "DiPro" and uses an external Infrared-LED. The current flowing through this LED (which off course determines the amount of IR-light and therefore the sensitivity of the proximity measurement as a whole)  is software controlled
    This (to me)  is a very plausible explanation that there is something wrong with the software indeed
    Why this fault does not appear on all E6-phones I don't know, but I assume that the combination of the Belle[refresh]  software (incorporating the assumable altered steering of the DiPro-module)  in combination with certain hardware versions of the E6 is a conflictuous one
    It's pretty bizar that Nokia has not supported up til now although a software update is clearly the basis of the problems
    If anyone here has found a solution on the mean time, I really hope to hear from him/her
    Thanks !!!

  • I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out".  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record.  Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song.  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
    There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent.  The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer.  The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
    Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).  It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
    If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

    Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
    Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.

  • XML News content modification problem in Portal application

    Hi,
    We are trying to update the xml news content in Portal application with KM API.
    We are getting following exception while updating the content.
    javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Namespace fixup failed. Prefix 'xsi' used in attribute 'xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation' is not declared anywhere
    Please let me know what's to be done
    Thanks

    Hello,
    I faced the same problem in a similar implementation: Message "Namespace fixup failed. Prefix 'xsi' used in attribute 'xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation' is not declared anywhere".
    When looking at the attributes of the org.w3c.dom.Document, I saw that the namespace URI of xsi was already null after parsing.
    The solution which made it work for me was
    factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
    before parsing the XML text. The URI of xsi was then the one provided by the document.

    The Firefox icon is the default feature for Windows Vista and 7 only, it does not apply to Windows XP users.
    To have the Firefox icon instead of the Menu Bar:
    View > Toolbars and UNCHECK the Menu Bar.
    After that, click on the Firefox icon and you'll have the Menu Bar appear again.

  • New Outlook sync problem after update!!!

    I had the 'original' Outlook sync problem, which went away after the iTunes update to 7.3.1, but now, after the iPhone update last night, I have an entirely NEW Outlook sync problem!!
    When I sync the iPhone, right when it gets to the 'syncing contacts' part (that you see in the top box/window in iTunes) I get an error message that I haven't seen before. It says "AppleMobileDeviceHelper has encountered a problem and needs to close..." and it gives me the option to send an error report. I dismiss the error box, and the sync process hangs, and iTunes becomes unresponsive.
    If I open Outlook, the two Apple sync oblects are still enabled, and get no error message. If I re-open iTunes and try to sync again, it only syncs iTunes content, and never even tries to sync my contacts or calendar.
    Anyone having anything similar since last night? The only thing different is the iPhone firmware update.

    I just cancelled the sync by using the slider. I didn't realize I could do that. The phone seems fine. I may try it again and see what happens.

  • Adding a new day event?

    Okay... so I'm trying to add a day event to my calendar using the Java API. When I use this date format:
    DTSTART;VALUE=3DDATE:20050317
    ...I get this error:
    CAPI_STAT_DATA_ICAL
    However, when I use this format:
    DTSTART:20050317T120000
    ... it works fine, but that's not a day event. What do I need to do to add a day event? Note that all other fields are exactly the same between these two examples.

    Hi Bart,
    The error CAPI_STAT_ICAL could be the result of storing the quoted-printable string DTSTART;VALUE=3DDATE:20050317 with the flag CSDK_FLAG_STREAM_NOT_MIME.
    If using that flag, the parser won't understand the parameter VALUE's value (3DDATE is not a valid value for the VALUE parameter).
    Also you need to specify the X-ORACLE-EVENTTYPE property.
    Here is a valid day event:

  • Three new bioinformatic coding problems now in WIKI (all require regex)

    At the bottom of this page:
    https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/EmTech/Bio-InformaticBasicsInRelationtoScriptingLanguages
    I've defined three new bioinformatic coding problems (Problems 3a-c).
    These all involve regex parsing in one way or another and are therefore a lot more interesting than the first two problems I've presented.
    I'm hoping that Anton will continue to knock out solutions, and that others will feel challenged enough to join him.

    Anton -
    I am way impressed - not just by your code and how fast you produced it, but also by the speed with which you grasped the STRIDE documentation and put it to very good use.
    Regarding the question you ask at the very end - this question goes to the heart of why protein tertiary structure (the actual 3-dimensional shape of one chain of a protein) is so hard to predict, and why governments, universities, and pharma are throwing so much money at it.
    If protein primary and secondary structure were many-to-one, prediction of protein tertiary strructure would be a lot lot simpler.  (For example, if "VVAY" and all "similar" primary structure subsequences mapped to the same secondary structure.)
    But the mapping is, unfortunately, many-to-many because the amino acids (AAs) in a primary structure chain always bond the same way - the COOH (carboxy) of one  AA bonds to the HN (amino) of the next one to produce C-N with the OH and H going away to make a water moleculre ... COOH - HN ---> C-N + H20.
    And as pointed out by Linus Pauling (the discoverer of protein secondary structure), the C-N bond can take two forms:
    a) one that is llkely to force the two amino acids to become HH (part of a helix)
    b) one that is likely to force the two amino acids to become EE (part of a "stand")
    You may be surprised to find out that even primary structure subsequences of six amino acids can wind up as different secondary structures - not always "H" vs "E", the variants might be
    E TT H
    H TT E
    EEE HH
    HH EEE
    etc.
    Anyway, thanks a lot for what you've done here.
    If you decide to stay involved a little longer, you will very soon be able to understand why there may be real promise in the approach to protein structure that is being taken here:

    (This is why I want to get SAP interested in the vertical bioinformatic sector - you can see why an integrated IDE with a robust DB is so important.)
    BTW, the site mentions Dr. Arthur Lesk as a team member.  Arthur is considered one of the fathers of what is called "structural alignment" (as opposed to pure sequence alignment.)
    If you Google him, you'll see that he has written many many books on bioinformatics - all worth purchasing if you're going to become involved in this area.  Arthur was at Cambridge (MRC) until recently, when he reached mandatory EU retirement age and took a position at Penn State here in the US.
