Round trip export/import from Mac OSX iCal

Since there isn't an iSync plug-in for Oracle Calendar (yet?) I thought I'd try a round-trip import/export between Oracle Calendar and Mac OSX iCal. Inconvenient, but it should would because the UIDs in the .ics file would be the same and an import would overlay over the existing entries.
Wrong -- if I export an event from iCal, import it into Oracle Calendar, then export it again and look at the .ics file, the UID is different. Consequently, I get duplicate entries at the end of the round trip.
What good is the "U"-Unique of UID if it isn't kept consistently? From the standard: "Implementations MUST be able to receive and persist values of at least 255 characters for this property."

I've ran into an issue when exporting/importing a .csv file from OSX.And this "issue" is...?
Exporting from? Importing to?
APEX version?
Database version?
Database character set?
Database host OS and version?
EPG, OHS or OAS (and version)?
DAD character set (if any)?
OS X version?
Some, none or all of the above may or not be relevant, but without more information to go on, all you are going to get are random guesses.

  • How to import from Mac osx 10.7.3

    I've bought recently a Blackberry Playbook 16 GB.
    I  downloaded Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac but i can't import any information to my Playbook.
    On the left side is a colom which said media but there is no information tab.
    Can anyone please tell me how to fix it.

    Only the installer is PowerPC based. The software itself is Java, so it runs on any OS X version. I was able to extract the app using Tiger and uploaded it to my Dropbox in Zip format, ready to use.
    After extracting, select the "Assistente Pimaco +" file inside the "files" folder and, in the "Finder" menu bar, click in "File>Open". This is a security procedure and is necessary only once to open apps that were not installed using the Mac App Store.
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/7kxjj469hey2mq4/Assistente%20Pimaco%20Mac.zip
    Consegui instalar no meu Mac usando uma versão mais antiga do sistema operacional. O aplicativo é Java, portanto é compatível com qualquer versão do OS X. Apenas o Instalador não é compatível. Segue o link para download da pasta do aplicativo em formato ZIP, pronto para uso.
    Dentro da pasta "files", selecione "Assistente Pimaco +", e na barra de menu do "Finder", selecione "Arquivo>Abrir". Este procedimento de segurança é necessário apenas uma vez para abrir aplicativos que não foram instalados pela Mac App Store.

  • Import from iPhone to iCal shifted by one hour

    I have recently synced iPhone through iTunes, and my appointments imported from iPhone to iCal are all shifted by one hour. Example, on iPhone, an event is scheduled for 4:30 PM, and the same event in iCal is listed at 3:30PM. The event was first entered on iPhone, and then appeared in iCal after Syncing in iTunes.
    How can I import from iPhone to iCal without this discrepancy?

    Jeff,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Use the procedure listed in: MobileMe: How to reset sync data.
    Use the procedure listed under: "To reset your MobileMe Sync data in Mac OS X 10.4.11"
    In step #5 be sure to select the option that allows you to replace the information on your computer with the information from MobileMe.

  • Only one round trip to database from BizTalk per message irrespective of number of records in message per table.

    I am creating biztalk application to store the data into sql server.
    and my client says this line what i am not understood .
    "Only one round trip to database from BizTalk per message irrespective of number of records in message per table."
    Any one can help me to understand this line.!
    Thanks,

    One more option is -
    Create a stored procedure to perform batch insert, you can insert into any number of tables you want.
    --sample SP code...just added the steps you need to know to extract XML and perform insert
    CREATE PROCEDURE <SPName>
    @YourXML XML
    AS
    BEGIN
    EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @idoc OUTPUT, @youXML
    SET @j = 1
                WHILE @j <= @recordCount
                BEGIN
                     SET @xpath = '//ns1:RootNode/Record[' + CAST(@j AS VARCHAR(11)) + ']'
                     ;WITH XMLNAMESPACES('record namespace' as ns0, 'rootnode namespace' as ns1)
         INSERT INTO YourTable
                      (field1, field2....field20)             
                      SELECT                                 
                            field1, field2....field20
                      FROM OPENXML(@idoc, @xpath, 2)
                            WITH(field1 varchar(2), field2 varchar(20)........field20 varchar(100))                        
                      SET @j = @j + 1
                END    
    END
    On BizTalk side its quite simple...generate schema for your stored procedure...and in your map transform your XML to StoredProcedure schema using CDATA.
    Hope it helps!!

  • Trying to update from Mac OSX 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 via the Updater.  Update Not Verified?

    Trying to update from Mac OSX 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 via the Updater.   Getting a message half way through the download stating the updated "could not be verified.  It may have been corrupted during downloading."   Any ideas for picking up the latest Update?
    Uploading screenshot....     any advice appreciated.
    Matt

    Either try redownloading or try downloading the standalone updater: OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo).
    Such errors may be caused by glitches in your Internet connection or because of hard drive problems. I suggest you try the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

  • Can I upgrade from mac OSX 10.6.8 to 10.8?

    Can I upgrade from mac OSX 10.6.8 to 10.8?

    Same list as stedman1, but uses model numbers which is slightly more accurate.
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.         Application Compatibility
    If you have applications that you want to use that aren’t compatible, you can retain Snow Leopard and create a new partition to install Mountain Lion on or you can run Snow Leopard  server in a virtual mode.
    If your computer isn't compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.        Computer Compatibility - Lion
    If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again.

  • Question about importing from mac mail to folder in address book

    Is it possible to place imported email addresses (Mac email) into specific folder(s) in Address Book rather than into just the All Folder.? For example, I have several business addresses that I want to import from Mac Mail automatically into my Business Folder and several others that I want to go into Friends Folder. Can this be done? If so how? Thanks
    iMac Intel Duo 20" Mac OS X (10.4.10)
      Mac OS X (10.3.7)  

    The Address Book database is similar to the iTunes database and iPhoto database.
    If you use iTunes then you know you can't place a song in a playlist without the song being in the primary iTunes database first and the same with iPhoto. You can't place a photo in an album with the photo being in the main iPhoto library first.
    The same with Address Book. You can't place a contact in an Address Book group without the contract being in the primary Address Book "All" Group and I'm not aware of a way to place a contact in the primary All group and in a designated group at the same time.

  • Open Directory Migration from Mac OSX Server 10.4.11 to 10.8?

    I manage an old (2004) G5 Xserve still successfully running OS X 10.4.11 with about 450 users in the Open Directory. I just purchased a Mac mini Server which will run OSX Server 10.8. I want to migrate all the user accounts from the old G5 Xserve to the new Mac Mini server. Can someone spell out the step-by-step process or point me to a document that can help me. I have searched through many of the apple discussion forum threads and Apple Server migration docs, but have not found a clear path to follow to get the old OSX 10.4.11 user accounts onto the new OSX 10.8 Mac Mini server. 
    The G5 server does not serve mail, print, or any other services other than the user accounts (home directories) for the users.
    Help!!!  Thanks.
    John

    If you don't mind clearing ser passwords, then I would export users from 10.4 and import into 10.8
    There are some issues with service ACLs in doing this, but its still the fastest process.
    If users are allowed to set their own PW, the you give provide preset pw's (either unique or common) and a URL to allow users to reset their PW.
    If you need to retain passwords, what I would do is clone the 10.4 server, then upgrade it all the way to 10.8 then archive OD from that and import into a clean-install of 10.8 server.
    Whataver you do, don't rely on a 10.4 to 10.8 migration, you'll want a clean 10.8 install.
    The offline 10.4 -> 10.8 would allow you to retain PWs, but it creates alot of extra work for you.

  • Export NOTES from Mac Mail to Outlook 2011 for Mac

    I have been trying to get Outlook 2011 to work as my primary Mail, Calendar, Notes, and Contacts. 
    I have only been successful syncing Mail (except for Notes), which it seemed to do on its own, and Contacts where I dragged an exported VCard file to Outlook Contacts.  I couldn't get Calendar to import into Outlook so I just recreated the calendar on Outlook.  Now Calendar and Mail sync just fine.
    Can anyone tell me how to get Notes over to Outlook?
    Sherman

    Outlook for Mac has no option to import from Apple's Mail application. The best suggestion I can offer is that you use an IMAP account to transfer your messages.
    Get a free Gmail IMAP account from Google and connect to the account in Mail. Drag your messages into the account to copy them to the server.
    Connect to the same account in Outlook and copy your messages from the server to folders under On My Computer.
    Another option is to get a third party tool that are available online.
    One tool that I am familiar with is Apple Mail Export
    Or you can find more on
    google or

    Hope this helps!

  • Web module crashes during export OR upload (Mac OSX 10.5x)

    Been happening more and more for some reason. The number seems to not matter, though typically there are 700 to 1400 images to either export or upload - and both crash LR. I'm on a Mac (OSX 1.5x) running LR 3.2. Actually, we're running TWO macs, and I can't upload from either one without at least one crash. Plenty of memory, large drives, files are from a Canon 5DII (dng). I'm starting to wonder if my Wacom drivers are to blame? Or if there's a bad file mixed in?

    Anybody have the beta for LR3 before purchasing the final version?  I've had all kinds of issues caused by Adobe's beta programs, both the public ones and private betas for PS CS5 and PSE.  Wondering if that might be contributing, but really i can't figure it out and its so frustrating.
    Given that you've had problems with other apps I think you would be best looking at the operating system for the source of your problem. First place to look would be the Console Logs to see what info is contained in the crash logs.

  • Open Directory Migration from Mac OSX Server 10.4 to 10.8?

    Hi All,
    This might be a silly question and apologise in advanced if this is?
    We are running on old Xserve (10.4.8) with approx. 100 Mac clients and would like to know if it's possible to migrate from OD 10.4 to OD 10.8. We tried just to see what would happen if we archived the old OD and re-imported in to 10.8, but as we guessed this didn’t work. I’ve looked through this forum and seems most are doing this from 10.5, so wondering if we need to upgrade to 10.5 and then up to 10.8?
    Any pointers would be great.
    Many thanks.
    Mike

  • Exporting emails from Mac Mail to Entourage

    Is there a way to take ALL of the emails etc from Mac Mail & transfer them to Entourage is one easy step? - I have looked at importing them from Mac Mail with Entourage's 'import assistant'..but it doesn't give Mac Mail as an option to import from...any help gratefully received - thanks

    Alex,
    This thread is getting unbelievably messy for what originally was such a simple question. Nowhere did I say that the procedure I suggested was meant for a particular type of account or mailbox. It allows any messages to be exported in standard mbox format. It’s Stanley who mentioned IMAP as an alternative procedure to transfer mail between mail clients, and what I said in the post you’re replying to is precisely that IMAP has nothing to do with what I was talking about...
    What does “suitable for archiving” mean? If you have any questions that have nothing to do with the problem of transferring mail from Mail to Entourage, which is what we’re supposed to be talking about here, please either find a thread that discusses the same questions or start a new topic to properly discuss them in their own thread instead of hijacking someone else’s thread. Here is a recent example of such a thread:

  • Cannot go to the Internet from Mac OSX, and Fedora Core 5

    All Windows users (XP, 2000, Vista Beta) can connect to the Internet no problem on WRT54G with Firmware v4.20.6 (may 26, 2005). But odd enough, though getting the right DHCP assigned IP addresses and DNS server address, MacBook Pro (OS 10.4.1) and Fedora Core 5 cannot go to the internet at all using Safari and firefox browsers: the message keeps saying that your computer is not connected to the internet. Tested with BOTH wired and wireless connections, no luck to the internet. So, it's not about the wireless settings and setup. It doesn't work even if I directly connect the CAT5 cable to the router port.
    Tested at wireless hotspots, at work where we have Cisco access points, and at a friend's place where there is netgear wireless router, MacBookPro is just working fine connected to the internet.
    Any suggestions? Linksys doesn't support Mac and Linux PCs at all?

    Thank you very much All (devildance, and Frank).
    Seems like it is working fine now...
    I reset the router as factory default, and reconfig the wireless setting(disable broadcasting SSID, configure TKIP PSK, and MAC filtering). Directly connected CAT5 cable from the router to my MacBookPro Windows XP. Working fine. Switched to Mac OSX, working fine. But, when I disconnected the LAN, and attempted to connect wireless, I couldn't go to the Internet using Safari and Firefox: keeps saying that your computer is not connected to the Internet.
    Still could ping to 4.2.2.2 and 207.232.22.25, but getting errors "could not resolve the host name" when I pinged with the hostname bearshare.com.
    Connected the wired CAT5. Working fine. Unplugged and used the wireless, could not get to the internet.
    Checked the NICs settings on both LAN ethernet and wireless airport. All seems the same and correct: IP address, subnetmask and gateway address, and NO DNS entry. The same settings, but works on LAN cat5, and not works with wireless. So, for the sake of it, just manually added the DNS server IP addresses and domain names on wireless NIC. And Wala...it is working fine with wireless. Still strange the fact that Ethernet LAN NIC still doesn't have any DNS entries and working fine, but required DNS entries on wireless NIC.
    For Fedora Core, could ping and resolve names without changing any settings. But when going to the Internet, got the error saying "comcast doesn't support this platform/OS" and another error "Welcome to Comcast High speed Internet....registration currently unavailable" when attempting to go any websites. Notieced that we pinging cnn.com, bearshare.com, or any websites, got ping reply from the same IP address which appears to be one of the comcast DNS server IP, 68.87.64.132.
    So, I think it is a comcast issue not supporting Linux or something else which I would need to call to Comcast about...
    But, thanks...looks like I can go to the Internet on Mac OSX, and Fedora core now with Linksys WRT54G. Thanks so much guys for all the suggestions....
