Question about bb calendar features

hi! i'm a new bb user and i would appreciate any help from bb expects in this forums. here are my questions:
1.) I'm having trouble syncing my calendar events from bb 8900 to google calendar. I've already downloaded the google sync application and it worked fine when i synched my bb phonebook to google contacts but not for my calendar. Everytime, I try to sync my calendar, this message appears "google sync is disabled while the blackberry is updating settings. please try again in 5 minutes."
2.) i put 15 minutes reminder for every item in my calendar but i never hear the reminder alarm go off. not even when i set my profile to normal or loud. i do see a pop up screen thought but i would rather have a reminder alarm like they do in nokia.
3.) I used to be a nokia user for 10+ years. Under their calendar module, I can categorize events like birthdays (and a cake icon appears), anniversary, reminders, etc while in bb, they're all just classified as appointments. Am I missing something?
4.) Finally, when I sign in on my yahoo messenger via bb's IM service, i noticed that i am also immediately signed in when i go to my yahoo mail via browser. now, my dilemma is how to sign out from yahoo mail via browser? because i tried logging out of my yahoo messenger but when i checked my yahoomail, i'm still signed in. plus, i cannot find the sign out link when i'm on the browser version of my yahoomail.
thank you for any help.

I think I can help with the Google calendar part. For this to work, you have to make sure that you schedule the appointment on the right calendar (my BB has a calendar for each email account I have on my BB).
To sync reminders, there is a check mark in the Google Sync options "Sync Reminders"
Conversly to the Google Calendar Sync, if I do set up a calendar appointment on my BB the sync program will have in red text above the syncing information "Another client has added to your calendar...to avoid duplicates those items will not be synced". This makes no sense to me and I haven't tried to figure out why that happens. To get rid of that red text, I have to log out of google sync, let the  program delete all previously synced information, and then log in again and sync.

  • A question about the Calendar feature on a Samsung SCH-u410?

    I have an older Samsung SCH-u410, and I have a question about using the Calendar feature. I will set an event in the calendar and set a reminder. Then later I will turn the reminder off, but the alarm will still go off. Shouldn't setting the reminder box to off turn the alarm off. Am I forgetting to do something or is there a problem with my phone? Any info will be gratefully appreciated!!!! I can be e-mailed directly at >> personal information deleted <<
    Thanks,

        Thank you for your post Junebug. On most phones, turning the reminder off will stop the alarm from sounding. As this is a much older device, I don't have a phone to test. Have you tried removing the calendar event completely? Did you recently purchase this phone or have you had this for awhile?

  • I have a question about the calendar on the ipad2. I have multiple calendars in different colors. Some of the events are filled in with color. Others are just listed with a colored dot in front of the event. Any ideas why events ar showing up differently?

    I have an ipad2 and my question is about the calendar. I set up multiple calendars with different colors. Some of the events show up in filled color. Others only show with a colored dot in front of the event. I can't figure out why some show up one way and others show up differently? Any thoughts?

    On mine the ones that show on a coloured background are all-day events, the ones with dots and just timed events.

  • Question about saving calendar and contatcs

    Good Morning to all ,
    I have a question about how to transfer the calendar and contatcs files to the new outlook profile after a imap migration. So what is the best way to transfer this kind of data before the imap migration for example to prep 70 machines? Any Powershell or
    vbs script to save the calendar and contatcs into a pst file?
    Thank you in advanced.
    Thiago.

    So what is the best way to transfer this kind of data before the imap migration for example to prep 70 machines? Any Powershell or vbs script to save the calendar and contatcs into a pst file?
    Without knowing Outlook version involved and/or whether there are any additional email accounts configured in any given profile beyond the one being migrated to IMAP - some general comments
    #1 - Simply add the same email account as an IMAP account to the same profile. That will result in the "default data file" remaining the same which contains the default "contact & calendar" folders. There is nothing that limits the
    same email account to be configured with multiple protocols unless there is a setting that also needs to be set at the server level (i.e. GMail)
    #2 - Delete the related "non-Imap" account from the profile - that is has no impact on the data file associated with the account
    At a minimum - Contacts/Calendar folders remain as is with the only caveat being that the email folders in the original PST file will contain data which you (your users) may or may not want to completely get rid of (something you may want to check/confirm
    beforehand)

    Hi,
    You are correct, But You can change it on QAS due to client will not modifiable.
    Goto Developement System and run scal.
    Most important is to change/extend factory calander and save it. Request will be generated as Workbench. Transport it to Production System.

  • Question About KMC Calendar

    I suppose that not.. but is possible use the calendar feature from KMC WITHOUT a integration with Lotus or Exchange or OWA?
    thanks.

    Hi Leandro,
    If you have a calendar without integration with Lotus/Exchange, what data would this calendar show? Do you have a proprietary groupware system? If yes, then you will have to implement your own groupware transports using the groupware API's. Use <a href="https://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/nw_kmc/howto/coll/How%20To%20Build%20a%20Groupware%20Connector.html">this</a> as a starting point for building your groupware connector.
    If you have Lotus Domino or MS Exchange, then you can use the SAP shipped connectors to getthe groupware data in portals.

  • Question about publishing Calendar and URLs

    Hi everyone, have a question that hopefully knows the answer too. I have been researching on how to publish individual user calendars to external users.
    I have seem to come across 2 different ways to do this
    1) is to right-click on my calendar in OWA, then I select the external recipient and it emails the recipient a long url similar to:
    http://webmail.mydomain.com/owa/calendar/[email protected]/4d9f8b52769b4ddca3e51f6f82d01b6f1902995877095312719/S-1-8-2306188436-3125773453-2945785077-3615357645/reachcalendar.html
    2) Within Outlook 2013, I click on "publish calendar" and it takes me to an ECP url for my exchange server where I can select how many months I want to share, the permission they can see, etc... and then it provides me at the bottom with two links
    like:
    http://webmail.mydomain.com/owa/calendar/[email protected]/Calendar/calendar.html
    My question is what are the differences between these two methods and also, both of these urls will NOT work unless I change them to HTTPS instead, how I can modify the links that get emailed out? I did see for the 2nd method above I can set it using the
    "PublishedCalendarUrl" in Powershell, but that is impractical for a lot of users.
    thanks!

    Hi BMIG,
    Please re-start IIS for testing.
    If not working unfortunately, please use IIS Manager to simplify the OWA url and force redirection to SSL.
    Steps as below:
    1. Start IIS Manager.
    2. Expand the local computer, expand Sites, and then click
    Default Web Site.
    3. At the bottom of the Default Web Site Home pane, click Features View if this option isn't already selected.
    4. In the IIS section, double-click HTTP Redirect.
    5. Select the Redirect requests to this destination check box.
    6. Type the absolute path of the /owa virtual directory. For example, type
    https://mail.contoso.com/owa.
    7. Under Redirect Behavior, select the Only redirect requests to content in this directory (not subdirectories) check box.
    8. In the Status code list, click Found (302).
    9. In the Actions pane, click Apply.
    10. Click Default Web Site.
    11. In the Default Web Site Home pane, double-click SSL Settings.
    12. In SSL Settings, clear Require SSL.
    13. For the new settings to take effect, open a Command Prompt window, and then type
    iisreset /noforce to restart IIS.

  • Questions about RH Server features

    Hi Adobe users,
    we're considering to recommend RoboHelp Server as a
    publishing solution to a client. They are already using RoboHelp
    and want to make the contents available online. Another issue is
    centralized management of their help content documents. I'd be very
    glad if someone could answer the following questions:
    Is it possible to integrate RH Server
    with a CRM system or another user management system for
    authentication? Can it be integrated in a single sign-on
    infrastructure?
    How does the access control mechanism
    work? Can I set permissions who is allowed to publish certain
    documents/projects?
    Does it support workflows
    (review/accept/reject)? Or is this done using the staging
    server?
    Does it support content versioning?
    Or do we need RH SourceControl for that additionally?
    Does it support locking (check-in,
    check-out) of documents to allow concurrent editing?
    In short - does the RoboHelp server act as a document
    management system, or do the authors have to store the contents on
    their local computers and publish only the final version? Another
    issue is translation management - can the authors publish one
    language version, which is translated by other people (in other
    countries) and published to the same server?
    Thanks a lot in advance for any help!
    Andreas Hartmann

    Wow, Andreas. Welcome to the Forums.
    That's quite a laundry list!
    The answers are pretty much, "yes", if I understand
    correctly. That said, I don't know that much about CRMs, so your
    mileage may vary.
    To start, you might want to take a look at my article on the
    Adobe Developer Network for an overall perspective.
    Adobe
    RoboHelp Server 6 improves the feedback loop
    I view RoboHelp and RoboHelp Server as a "content" management
    rather than a "document" management system though this is a bit a
    semantics. Using variables, conditional build tags and Single
    Source Layouts, you can manage the content of your output in a
    fairly granular way (including to some level, your translation
    issues).
    In other words a team of multiple authors can manage the
    content of a website in the way you describe with a combination of:
    1. The authoring client (RoboHelp's main application) to
    develop content and manage it.
    2. RoboSource Control (for the check in, check out and
    versioning you mentioned) where authoring content source material
    is stored on a central server for backup and access by the team.
    3. RoboHelp Server for managing the authentication of who has
    access to the web server for publishing, etc. RoboHelp Server is an
    Active Server Pages application running on IIS, typically with a MS
    SQL Server or Oracle DB as the back end. As such, it uses Windows
    Server straightforward authentication methods. When you set up the
    author's project to publish to the server it will ask you for the
    Username and Password. Once this is configured, it's seamless from
    there. That login name/password can be the same as whatever you
    call your single sign-on pair as long as it conforms to the Windows
    Server scheme mentioned earlier.
    The RoboHelp author who may be designated as the "admin(s)"
    of the team can create and assign permissions from the authoring
    client and otherwise manage the Server site remotely without having
    to pester the Web Administrator for maintenance of the site.
    The staging server scenario you mention is an option that is
    completely up to your team and the IT folks. RoboHelp Server
    doesn't care one way or another. It's just an application sitting
    on a IIS web server. That server could be the "development or
    staging" server or the so-called "production" or live server.
    The different languages you mention could be published to the
    same server and comingled into a single site (kind of messy) or you
    could have different language sites (as long as they are different
    domains/IP addresses) sitting on the same RoboHelp Server enabled
    machine.
    Regarding language, one important item to research is the
    RoboHelp version you are using and it's language support. The
    much-anticipated Adobe RoboHelp 7 (now in beta and expected "before
    the end of the year") will have full Unicode/double byte character
    support for 35 languages and a wonderful way of handling
    translation workflows.
    Well, that should get you started. Let me know what I've
    missed!
    Thanx,
    john

  • Question about using calendar with Microsoft Exchange

    I just recently bought the iPhone5.  I used to have a Droid so I am new to the iPhone altogether.  I have a 3rd generation iPad as well.  I've always used my google calendar on my droid to set up appointments and whatnot on my calendar and I send the invites to my husband so we can sync our calendars.  He would then accept or decline and I would get an email notification saying when he did so.  Now that I am using the iPad and iPhone calendar, I am super confused.  There are so many color coded calendars.  I set up the Microsoft Exchange account on both mine and my husbands phone and I set the default calendar to the Gmail Exchange calendar as someone told me to do.  I'm very confused by what this is all about and my husband still isn't getting the invitations when I send it to his gmail.  However, when I sent it to his aol email address, he did receive an invite but on my calendar it is still showing as "no response".  Also, now we are getting emails in 2 different gmail inboxes, one for the exchange and one for just gmail.  What's the difference?  Can anyone shed some light on this for me?  I'm such a newbie and googling isn't helping!
    Thanks!!!!

    Why to jump from one track to another?
    Simply create a folder with all the Channel strip settings and assign two key commands of your choice to navigate forward and backward.
    And yes, you can assign that command to a MIDI controller (or pedal) too.
    About monitoring have a look at the reference manual page 211.
    Before to buy a preamp try using the Hi-Z input from your Edirol.
    Anyway, six tracks with six plugins on each track are not an issue for your macbook.

  • MSI X79A-GD45 8D overclocking 3930k question about Power Saving Features

    hi guys
    i could do the oc for my 3930k.Now i am on 4.3ghz.Here are the settings i made ;
    i didnt change the cpu multiplier left it on auto.
    EIST and Turbo features are on.I just change the multpliers of the core limits for every core.I made core limit 43 for all cores.
    Also i set the vcore offset feature to %12.5 and it made the voltage under load 1.280 which can hold system stable @ 4.3ghz.
    when cpu is idle multiplier and voltage decreasing and when the cpu is under load voltages and multipliers increase.
    thats what i want.  But;
    i tested the vcore offset as %100 the auto voltage under load increases to max 1.344.If i go for 4.8ghz probably i would need more than 1.344 on this situation what will happen?because i will need more than 1.344 but the auto voltage will give me just 1.344.How can we arrange this?
    then i tried to enter voltage manually but the voltage didnt decrease even all the power saving features on.I haven't change any settings  i mentioned above for the 4.3ghz oc.I just changed the vcore voltage to manuel. Everything stayed the same like decreasing multiplier under idle and increasing multipliers under load except the voltage.It stayed the same as i gave in the bios.
    from here
    I read from somewhere that on msi boards if you put the cpu multipler manually you loose power saving features.Everytime under load or idle cpu will be stay at the same ghz.Is that true?
    if i give the cpu multiplier manuel or vcore voltage can i benefit from the power saving features like  decreasing voltages and multiplier under idle and  and incresing them under load ?
    or when i enter the cpu multiplier and voltage manually ,does the power saving features go away?

    VDroop set to 100% is all you are going to get. 1.344v's should get you about 44-46X on the cores on 'Auto'. The voltage goes down from there with the lower VDroop settings. With CPU V. set to 'Auto', you get power saving, soon as the CPU V. is taken out of 'Auto', you lose it. No, the CPU speed may lower, but the voltage going to it will not.
    VDroop is not a true offset feature like can be found on other brands of boards. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162779.0
    Most folks around the industry recognize 1.350v's as the recommended limit for socket 2011 CPU's, so 1.344v's is fairly close to that anyway.
    So when i set the voltage and the cpu multiplier i loose power saving features right?
    Thanks for the reply

  • A question about the calendar JPC  in 9i demo

    In my application, I use the calendar JPC from the 9i Demo. After click the button and select a date, the calendar widget disappeared and the date field now has the new date. The question is, now the keyboard seams disabled until I click somewhere using mouse.
    Do I have to click the mouse after using the calnedar JPC to enable the keyboard?
    Stephen

    Stephen,
    It seems that after closing the calendar the focus is not within the Forms application but still on the Java Bean. Nit sure how to solve this, but you could try and set a trigger on the text field that the date is returned to.

  • Two questions about the events feature

    Sometimes I think it is OK to use different rolls for the same happening, e.g. when I have received photos from my wedding from a lot of people that did not syncronise their cameras to the second...
    If I have understood correctly, my present rolls (iPhoto '06) will all be rearranged and called "events" when I install iPhoto '08. So then I'll have to sort all those photos from my wedding manually. Is this right?
    Second question: I already have an "event" with my own photos from my brother's wedding. If another guest at the wedding sends me his photos and I import them into iPhoto, what will happen? Will those newly imported photos be automatically placed inside the already existing event, so that I will need to use an hour to find those new photos one by one if I want to place them in another event, or if I want to adjust them etc?

    Jadar:
    It depends on how you have your Events preferences setup.
    If you leave the checkbox unchecked then the import will go into a single Event. Then you can drag that event into the already created wedding event.
    If the checkbox is checked then the imorted photos will go into new events based on the date of the photo and the criteria setup for Events date. In either case you'll have to drag the new event(s) into the current wedding event.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Questions about several iPhone features....

    Has anyone figured out how to do any of the following on iPhone?
    1. Synchronize Notes in Outlook with Notes on the iPhone.
    2. Delete more than one email message at a time.
    3. Setup filters per email account to block out SPAM (using a POP or IMAP).
    4. Create new folders within an email account. I notice iPhone automatically created a Sent and Trash folder once I started to use email. Can't figure out how to create my own folders.
    5. Search names in contacts without using the alphabet list. For example, in my contacts I have only the first name and company name for a contact. Contacts on iPhone appears to sort contacts in the following sequence:
    - 1. Last Name
    - 2. First Name
    - 3. Company Name
    I don't remember the First name, but I remember the Company name. However, I can't find this contact in my list since it's listed by first name, which I don't remember. I am hoping there is search option available.
    Any help on any or all of these items would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    iPhone   Windows XP  

    Delete more than one email message at a time.
    Not possible. Some people turn off the confirm deletion option so they can singly delete faster without having to confirm each time.
    Synchronize Notes in Outlook with Notes on the iPhone.
    Notes do not sync. Personally I'd like Apple's terrific Notes & drag-able checklist/outliner feature from the Newton (see <<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Newton#Notes">this>)
    Search names in contacts without using the alphabet list.
    There is no search. You can sort by firstname or lastname. Once you have a lot of contacts, you get the alphabetic rolodex to jump to a certain letter. Would it be useful to enter people and prefix either their firstname or their lastname with their company? Then you'd get some ability to sort a person by their company.
    You can ask Apple for iPhone changes via this link:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html Though if you're requesting hardware changes for iPhone v2 you may want to wait a week (or a month?)...they're probably going to be inundated right now by requests for software changes to the current iPhone.

  • Question about initializing Calendar attributes manually

    Hi. I am setting up a Calendar object by initializing it's attributes like this:
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, year.intValue());
    calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, month.intValue());
    calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, day.intValue());
    calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR, hour.intValue());
    calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, minute.intValue());The problem is that when I run a test case where I create 2 calendar instances with the same attributes ie - both of them set to 2008, 02, 25, 10, 00, the equals() method does not return true:
    calendar1.equals(calendar2);    // Returning false, but have same attributes set as shown above
    Now, the other attributes of the Calendar instances make the two instances not equal. I created a utility method to test just the attributes above for equality, and that works just fine.
    My concern now is the after() and before() methods of Calendar. Can I rely on these to be correct based on what I see from the equals() method? I have ran several test cases with the before() and after() methods (testing with instances initialized differently), and they * seem * to be working as expected, but now I can't be sure... If not, how should I properly initialize the calender instances to make sure that I get the proper behavior out of the before(), after(), and equals() methods?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply. I am still not getting a true return value from the equals() method. Also, I made the modification you suggested with setting the month. When I do calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH) I always get back one less than the actual month. I have read that this is because the months are zero based.
    Why wouldn't the Calendar class return 2 if I pass it a date with February in it? Is this just a bad design decision by the creators of the class?
    Thanks.
