RIM Facebook 1.7 Calendar Issues (with Google sync)

I know that the Facebook app calendar issues have been documented all over the web and in other posts on this forum; but I still have been unable to figure out the best solution to this problem.
I am using the latest version (1.7) of the Facebook app and the latest version of google sync.
Despite unchecking the calendar sync option for the Facebook app, it ALWAYS eventually hijacks the "device default" calendar for my BB (curve 8330) and adds all my friend's birthdays. It sometimes happens after a battery pull, other times it seems random. Despite deleting the facebook cical entry, it will always come back eventually.
I am unable to set anything other than facebook in my default calendar option under options>advanced>device default. When I delete the facebook cical, the default calendar selection (options>advanced>default services) disappears entirely I assume that this is because there is no option other than the device default.
I have NEVER had a cical entry for my google calendar. I'm assuming the google sync app does not need a cical entry. I'm also assuming that the lack of a cical entry is what is preventing me from selecting my google calendar as my default, which is what many suggest to solve this problem. I cannot select my google calendar as a default, which isn't a problem until facebook hijacks my calendar.
Previous to FB app 1.7, everytime my calendar was hijacked, google sync would become a one way street (events would sync from the web to my phone, but not vice versa). To remedy this, I would delete the facebook cical, RSET the calendar manually, and re-sync my google calendar. This would work fine until the next time FB hijacked the calendar.
Now (in FB 1.7), despite hijacking my calendar, it does not appear to interrupt google sync in either direction. My google calendar is now named "facebook," but birthdays do not sync to my google calendar. It is very odd indeed and worries me that this convoluted setup is going to mess up my online google calendar at some point.
Unchecking the calendar option in the facebook app should prevent it from creating a cical entry. Period. This is very frustrating and discouraging to see RIM update this app from 1.5 to 1.6 to 1.7 without fixing this obnoxious issue.
Has anyone else been able to find a solution to this problem?

Had the same problem here plus the same event kept getting duplicated 20 to 30 times per day.
I tried all of the solutions that people suggested:
removed facebook cical
set default email to another email address
battery pull
none of that worked; there was still a "default" email with all of the replicated events.
Then I stumbled upon a Blackberry tip to move all events into one email account. So, I moved everything into my GMAIL account, and the "default" email disappeared. Apparently, if a calendar account is deleted without deleting the events (as was the case with Facebook) the rogue events stay in a "default" calendar.
I then used Blackberry desktop manager to create a sync to MS Outlook. I opened Outlook and did a search for the replicated events (by name). 494 replicated events were found, so I selected all of them and deleted them. I then went back to Blackberry Desktop Manager, re-synced, was prompted to remove the events and WHAM, problem solved.
Make sure that you uncheck he calendar feature in the Facebook for Blackberry App options.
I hope that this helps others!

Issue with Google Contacts : birthdays not synching correctly

I have an issue with Google Contacts synchronising to my iPhone. For some reason, the birthday on the iPhone uses the previous day for displaying the birthday.
For example, if I put the birthday of December 30, 1987 for a contact using the online Google Contact manager, it will sync to my iPhone correctly as as December 30, 1987.
However, if I update the contact on my iPhone (change address, add website, change phone number...), the birthday jumps back in time 1 day (in our example it jumps back to December 29.
If I edit a contacts details on the iPhone both Birthday and Anniversary skip one day back in time after the Sync occurs. This will happen every time I edit the contacts details so if I start on e.g the 30th of Dec after one edit the date will be the 29 Dec then after another edit the date will be the 28th etc...
I can then edit the date(s) in Gmail Contacts and they will sync correctly back to my iPhone. Only when I edit a contact on the iPhone will the date(s) skip a day back.
The region of my iPhone is set to "Belgium"
Timezone is set to "set automatically"
How can I solve this conundrum?

Have you checked your time zone within your Google calendar settings? (http://www.google.com/calendar/) It's just an idea ...
I myself found several issues in syncing my contacts with Google (over the air via ActiveSync / Exchange on iOS4 as well as using the API within Address Book / iTunes) with truncated names (e.g. prefixes and suffixes) and re-arranged addresses (german scheme vs. US-scheme: post code, state) and can't recommend the Goole services for users outside the U.S.

How to troubleshoot Windows 8 Mail app connectivity issues with Google Business Apps?

My company went to Google Apps last year. I am unable to connect Mail App on Windows 8 to my corporate Google account. I am using m.google.com for server with SSL enabled, but no luck. I also enabled bit locker as my company policy requires device encryption.
Mail App does not give a clear error message. It simple states that this PC does not meet security policies enforced by Google. Please advice. I already made peace when my Nokia Lumia 920 running windows phone 8 does not connect to Google
apps because of a bug that would not turn on device encryption unless requested by Active Sync and it would not turn on with Google sync.
These are annoying issues that Microsoft must fix to gain enterprise support. Here are the settings from my mobile settings page:

Answer is of no use. I tried all the forums and websites. I am not able to connect to corporate google apps because it requires SD card encryption. How do I enable this on windows 8.
Please discuss this with your boss and other peers before answering. This is an advanced question. I am going to paint this a little bit more..
Today's enterprise requires that most devices support device encryption and Windows Phone does support device encryption but here is the problem- there is no support for SD card encryption. Even for phones like Lumia 920 that does not have an SD card cannot
connect to Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync due to a bug in the implementation.
When the policy parameter Require Encryption on Storage Card is enabled, Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 devices misreport the presence of an SD card, even if the device has no SD card slot. The policy enforcement occurs, provisioning fails, and the device
cannot be synchronized. You can read more on their support site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2464593
This long thread on the Microsoft community is a testament to this problem:
http://answers.microsoft.com/e...3ce3-49e4-8069-ecdccd55a5f9
This is also a problem for those enterprises that are using google apps and running Microsoft exchange activesync. Take a look at this request and policy that will throw the 85010013 error on your windows phone.

Overall, I hope Microsoft fixes this issue soon

After installing 2014.3 my site had multiple issues with Google Chrome

After installing 2014.3 my site had multiple issues with Google Chrome. After I rebuilt the home page in 2014.3 the site is still not well. With the old software the site worked well with all the browsers and loaded incredibly. Despite Adobe's claim of a faster load with the new software it is much slower and in Chrome at times it won't load up at all.
The home page had two "Video-Animation light box galleries" by Visual pictures company. One had 12 videos, the other 3 videos. All the videos were streamed from Vimeo. There was also an Edge Animate animation in the middle of the page imported as a .oam file. the rest of the page was nothing special except using some web fonts. Again, these elements worked together well before the update.
After the update everything loads slower in all browsers and in Chrome all types of weirdness happened. Videos would play randomly, all of the audio from all the videos played as the site loaded. Videos would play in the wrong place. Instead of my animation playing a video from the galleries played in it's place instead.
I rebuilt most of the home page using a new video gallery and that helped some what but when I placed the animation.oam file in the page had new issues. To survive, I've taken the Animation out which helped but the functionality is still far from being acceptable. My boss is un my backside, other work is not getting done the stress level is through the roof because I was the one who encouraged using all these new Adobe tools (which I'm paying for personally). Now you broke it with a new update. This is not the first time I've been caught out with problems with updates. I couldn't use SpeedGrade for months following an update. ADOBE MUST VET THEIR

Issue with Ipad Syncing with Exchange

We have 6 folks using Ipads regularly to access our corporate exchange server. Up to now things have been fairly stable.
That said starting this week our President has been having significants issues with the syncing process. The process seems to be hanging (however it may be jsut retrying over and over). This is resulting in some emails getting sent multiple times. It also appears that the syncing of Calendar events is sporadic.
No updates ahve been applied to the Exchange server.
He is a pretty heavy user of the Ipad and email and recieves alot of attachments some that are large 5-10mb. I see some chatter about these types of issues but no real solutions.
Is anyone else seeing this type of activity? If so any thoughts on how to improve the issue.
Thanks

I connected my IPAD for sync with Itunes on my laptop, DELL 6500 running Windows Vista.
Itunes prompted me to download new OS version 3.2.x It then went to restart my IPAD- and then boom !! .. windows said it couldnt find my ipad driver. I went to apple support site and followed their instructions and still windows cant find the driver. Hence my IPAD is not stuck showing the connect to ITUNES screen .. cant use it and cant get update.
Any one has any ideas what happened ?

Sync issues with Google Calendar and e-mail alerts

Hello,
I'm experiencing a lot of problems with iCal while I'm trying to sync it with Google Calendar. I have correctly inserted my Google account information into iCal, but:
when I create a new event and I disable the e-mail alert and save it, it automatically turns on the e-mail alert! Is there a way to disable by default all alerts? I have already tried to go to Settings - Advanced and select “Disable all alerts” with no result;
all the events I create into iCal are correctly synced with Google Calendar and I can correctly read them on the web app, but in my android device they don't have the time information (they are listed as all-day events)

GooSync would do the trick - http://www.goosync.com/
Plz be aware that Goosync nor Google Contacts supports all field from your phone so it is not an 100% backup unfortunately

Sync, restore, and issue with Google Calendar

I have several problems: I somehow lost my data prior to Jan1, 08 on my BB 8703 sometime after syncing with Google Calendar (may be completely coincidental). Now I have a dilemma I have a backup from a couple of weeks ago but I don't want to lose all of the new data I've put in lately.
How do I add in the data from the last few years back into my BB? How can I save what I have now? Can I sync with the Google calendar? 2 way? one way? do I sync from before or after I restore?
I'm very confused and worried about permanently losing my data.

There is a brilliant little App called 'Spanning Sync' which does just that! It syncs your iCal to your Google calendar and it is very easy to set up and use. However, it only lets you sync with one Google account per licence. If you need to sync to more than one Google account, you need to buy more licences. I use it very successfully and would recommend it to you without reservation.

Issues with Google Calendar subscriptions syncing.

Until today, the calendars I subscribe to on Google Calendar were showing up in my Calendar app (and by extension, Notification Center). Now they're gone, and I didn't change any settings. When I go into Calendar preferences the subscribed calendars don't even show up in the 'Delegation' tab where they used to. How can I get them back?

Syncing issues with google ( I think )

I have a MobileMe subscription, and wanted to have my address book synced on my devices and my Google account. This where everything went wrong. My consolidated contacts on my laptop went from around 900 to over 20k. and then my issues went extra crazy when every address book on my Laptops and iOS devices had different number of contacts and lots of duplicates.
I tried to disable syncing with google , but it still syncs with it (it shows when there is a conflict).
I need help with this.

iSync (this forum) is only for syncing Contacts & Calendars to a non-Apple mobile phone via a local USB or Bluetooth connection. Neither MobileMe or Google use iSync.
I'd suggest asking in the Address Book forum, or the MobileMe forum.

Calendar issue with the new iphone 6 plus

I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing a problem with the default iphone calendar for iphone 6 plus? I have consulted with apple's tech specialist both in store and online and they can't seem to figure out what's wrong. They have apparently forwarded the issue to the engineers. As everyone may know, dots appear under the date if you have added an event to the specific calendar date then the elaboration of the specific event appears on the bottom linear view. What i have been experiencing on my iphone 6 plus is that the dots disappear as i scroll further and further down to future months and when i do scroll back up the dots also randomly disappears with past months/events. The elaborated event in the linear view is still there, however, when u highlight the date. Why is that? We've already rebooted my phone, checked all possible settings issue, unsync then resynced it to icloud, resigned to icloud, reset all settings and even changed to a new phone (thinking it was a hardware defect) but the dots were still disappearing even with the new device. I even turned off icloud on all my devices and just used the usb cord to sync it from imac to iphone! This nightmare is still happening even without icloud! However, it doesn't do that to my iphone 5! All dots with corresponding events appear on all weeks/months on my iphone 5 calendar.
Hopefully, someone is experiencing the same issue with their default calendar on the new iphone 6 plus. I tried my best to describe the issue, so i hope this made sense.

M glad I'm not the only one experiencing this! Because when i spoke to apple techs it sounded like mine was an isolated case as they have not heard any complaints about this! I'll post something on this thread once apple techs have figured it out and get back to me! They initially put my icloud account on troubleshooting mode so they can look into it, however, it wasn't an icloud issue....so, they have yet to firgure it out! I have already sent them screenshots of what my calendar was doing to my phone.

How can I sync my Outlook 2010 calendar with Gmail Calendar now that Google Sync is no longer available

My iPhone 3 had been syncing fine with Outlook 2003 via Google Sync. I recently had to reload my PC, wiped it and installed Outlook 2010 as part of the reload; when I tried to install Google Sync I learned it was no longer available for download after December 14th.....I did have it on another PC, moved it over but got an error message. So I am no longer able to make calendar changes on my iPhone and have them sync to Outlook or vise versa. In addition my Google calendar is now empty....
Anyone know of a way to enable a sync between Google Calendar and Outlook 2010
Is there a way to add or import my Outlook Calendar to Google Calendar?
Why is all this stuff so complecated!??

no you can not do that. You can sync any web calendar that supports web dav to lightning, but Microsoft have chosen to not use the open standard and instead only offer a Microsoft Proprietary interface. Nothing new here though. They only offered a Microsoft Proprietary interface to download mail for many years. They call it innovation. I call it vendor lock in.
Interestingly enough you can sync office 365 calendar via OWA but not outlook.com

ADF Calendar Issue with MDS

JDeveloper 11.1.1.4.0
With the ADF Calendar, I able to programmatically control most of its features such as setting ActiveDay, View, etc.
But, when I turn MDS on and I interact directly in the calendar (such as changing the views, or clicking on the day which switches the view), any programmatic control I do to it just stops refreshing the calendar.
I inspected it and data is there, data shows up, activeDay is changed... But the calendar itself just doesn't change its view to the new activeDay.
Eg. I'm viewing March and I changed the active day to somewhere in August, I will still end up viewing March. No refresh nor flicker.
This issue is only happening when MDS is turned on.
I wonder if anyone has got around this issue?
-Marvin

Hi Marvin
I have a issue with Calendar component in ADF , I have similar requirement as you , I want to change the display month of Calendar on selecting the Month for Ex I select May I shud get May's Calendar and if March is selected I want to display March Calendar , I wanted to know how did you implement this ?
I am trying to set the activeDay of RichCalendar on selection of Month and year , For example I select May 2011, Then in value Change Listener I pass the 01 May 2011 as Date to a method and trying to set the activeDay attribute of RichCalendar so that the Calendar will display the calendar for Month of May with 1st May as active Day. Now I have two questions is such a thing possible using
below method, setActiveDayCompInstance()
Second I am getting null pointer exception for the line , why so ??
reqContext.getChangeManager().addComponentChange(context, calendar, aa);
My Method for setting active Day
public void setActiveDayCompInstance(Date activeDay)
System.out.println(activeDay);
RichCalendar calendar = getCalendarComponent();
calendar.setActiveDay(activeDay);
// Implicitly record a change for 'activeDay' attribute
AttributeComponentChange aa =
new AttributeComponentChange(RichCalendar.ACTIVE_DAY_KEY.getName(), activeDay);
RequestContext reqContext = RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
System.out.println("reqContext"+aa +reqContext.getChangeManager());
reqContext.getChangeManager().addComponentChange(context, calendar, aa); // Null Pointer exception

Apex Calendar synchronize with Google Calendar

Hi Friends,
i have create an calendar region and i have enter my new appointment details on 15 november at 3:00 Pm .
Then these value would be show on my calendar .
But i want to see this appintment in google calendar also.
How Can i synchronize apex Calendar with google Calendar.
How can i do this.
Thanks

Hi 805629,
I don't have the exact answers to your questions... but some extra details might help others.
i.e. Which way do you want to synchronize - google to oralce; oracle to google; both? Does it need to be automated?
Not too sure how easy an automated synchronization would be. Check out this thread: Is there a way to generate an .ics or .vcs file from an APEX calendar? on exporting the ICS file (which you would be able to upload into Google Calendar).
You may want to check out this site - http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/ - In particular, the Data API. You should be able to get your app to create events directly in the google calendar when you create them in APEX. But again, I haven't dealt with this.
By the way, what is the reasons for wanting synchronization between a google calendar and an apex calendar? (as opposed to just having the google calendar embedded in your site)
Good luck :-)
Ta,
Trent

Ical sync to gmail calendar issues with snow leopard

I had sync before w/ iCal 3 then it stopped last June. I'm now running 10.6.8 with the hope that the Sync would be good. Still no luck. My Gmail account is working find with connection to my Droid just not syncing w/ iCal. Note I've tried to re-enter the Gmail account with out luck.
I appreciate the help !
Thanks

Harvey,
The "On My Mac" calendars will not sync, and in my experience are no longer required. They can be safely deleted after making backup copies.

Issue with Google search on Safari

Hello: I am having the same issue with my iPad and iPhone 6. I think it may be related to iOS 8. when I was running iOS 7 whenever I would search for something in the Google search bar with and Safari the search bar would start to get suggestions what I may be searching for. For example if I would type in IT it would suggest that I was searching for the word Italy. Ever since I up dated to iOS 8 the suggest feature no longer works. I was wondering if this is an Apple issue and they will resolve it in a future iOS update or is there a problem with my settings. FYI in my Safari settings the default search is set to Google.
Thank you.

I have been having this same issue since the upgrade, and I cannot seem to fix it. I have restored, but iTunes won't let me revert back to pre 8.0/2.
Have not found any kind of resolution to this problem, and it doesn't seem to be a wide issue, as this is the only post I have seen on it.
Really annoying.
