Synching with office server

Background: I use my laptop for multiple purposes and professional endeavors. At the business that I will refer to as my "office", I need to backup data relevant to the office from my laptop onto the office's Windows server periodically from now on. I can connect to the server on the office network (without using Windows on my Mac) and can copy data onto it. Yesterday I copied my documents relevant to the office and my email folder (from my Mail application) relevant to the office onto its server.
Questions:
-What is the most efficient way for me to sync this data to the network from here on in, instead of transferring the whole of it (2GB) every two weeks or so?
- Can I use Time Machine for this purpose? If so, can I do so without having to manually eliminate the many items that I DON'T want to copy to the office server?
Thanks!
- Leslie

I don't think you can do what you are proposing. TM can back up your Mac and any local drives onto a local external HDD or Time Capsule which are formatted HFS+. I doubt very much your Windows server supports this.
I would suggest you check with your system admin about how to back up your data onto the company server first. I'm sure he/she would appreciate what you are trying to accomplish and will steer you in the right direction.

Mail app constantly synching with iCloud server after upgrade to Mavericks

Since upgrading to Mavericks, Mail has been constantly synching with the iCloud server - and I mean constantly. I know this because I have the Activity window open. Consequently there is often a significant lag between clicking Send on a new message and it being sent, or new messages being downloaded. I have another iMac at my office and the same problem is being experienced there.
I left the computer running all night to see if it would eventually sych everything, but it seems to be going in a constant cycle ever since the upgrade.
If it means anything to anyone, the Console window displays a continuous stream of data similar to this:
9:24:37.448 am fseventsd[48]: implementation_added_client : failed to add client for path /Users/Kevin/Library/Mail/V2/AosIMAP-kbish…
9:24:37.449 am fseventsd[48]: implementation_register_rpc: implementation_added_client() => 22
9:24:39.808 am fseventsd[48]: implementation_added_client : failed to add client for path /Users/Kevin/Library/Mail/V2/AosIMAP-kbish…
9:24:39.809 am fseventsd[48]: implementation_register_rpc: implementation_added_client() => 22
Can anyone offer any advice on what the problem might be and how I might fix it.
Thanks,
Kevin

No solution here, but I have either the same or a similar problem. Apple Mail with Gmail (IMAP) used to work fine with Mavericks.
Now with Yosemite most emails load ok, but some show the spinning wheel and "Loading..." message forever. These messages never load.
I also have Thunderbird and it loads and shows these messages just fine. The messages that don't load in Mail are simple plain text messages so it's unrelated to complex attachments and such.
Clearly something is broken in Yosemite that wasn't broken in Mavericks.

IMAP still not synching with Exchange Server... Come on Apple!

I have IMAP set up to my company server from the iPad. Reason being so that I can manage emails (delete, move to folders etc) whilst working off-line.
But any changes made via the iPad are not synching and updating on the Exchange Server once back on-line.
Really hoped iOS4 would fix this, but no. This really is the most useless tool for a regular business traveller. Not being able to catch up on email and sort, delete, reply etc on short haul European flights is in-excusable for a 2010 business tool Apple!
Unless I'm missing something??!!

Yes thanks Graham.
It is a big oversight in my mind and one which makes me carry a laptop most times, somewhat negating the need for the iPad. Thus actually adding a business tool I need to carry, rather than reduce in size and weight etc. I real shame for me and one which actually makes the iPad almost redundant most of the time.
I know having searched these forums and speaking with colleagues etc, it is a common feeling and one which Apple should address asap in my mind.
Thanks anyway,
Keith

Mail.app stops synching with Exchange server

It's my second day using Lion at work, and things have been going pretty smooth. That is, except for mail.app. I opened my copy of Exchange on my PC in the office (to set the out-of-office message (if there is one in mail.app I havent found it)) and was surprised to see a bunch of mail waiting for me. I right-clicked on my Inbox in mail.app, chose Synchronize and... nothing. I figured I would close it out and restart it. When I choose Quit, nothing happens. If I go back again Quit is greyed out. There are no apparent dialogue windows or anything open that should stop it. Finally I have to Force Quit the app and restart it. Upon restarting most of the messages appear again in seperate windows as if I hadn't hit sent yet. I close them out and all of my mail is waiting in the Inbox like it should be.
I'm using the Exchange connect feature introducted in Snow Leopard.
This is the requisite "I had no problems with this setup until upgrading to Lion" line.
Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a fix?
Thanks!

Is Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Automatically synchronize changed mailboxes checked? It shouldn’t...

Problems synching with Nike + Server

After I end a workout, am I able to connect to the Nike server to transmit my workout data less than half of the time. The other times, I get an error message that the Nike server was unable to accept my data. This is totally glitchy! My iTunes is the most current available, and my iPod Nano is absolutely up to date.
I have tried creating a new Nike account and the same problems persist. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, how do I fix it? I'm frustrated!!!

Sounds like a problem with their website. You should contact them aboout it.

IPhone won't synch with exchange server after ios5 upgrade

I upgraded to ios5 last night. I did not get the 3002 error however after reboot it asked me about use of location services, etc and then later about the "find my iphone" feature - at this point the phone got stuck - no matter which selection I made when I picked the Done button nothing happened. I had to do a reset and it came back up OK (not sure what the status is of Find My Iphone feature - but more pressing is the fact that I can't connect to our exchange server. After putting in my credentials it seems to connect and the name of the mail server gets filled in, but then in the next step it says "Unable to verify account information" and its game over.
Any thoughts if this is a phone setting or a server setting? I think we are using Exchange 2003.
Thanks - Jack Jolly

Not sure what happened - but its working now. Our IT guys may have done something on the server side. If I can get any details I will post them. Look forward to picking up additional tips from this forum!

Will "Reminders" on my iPh4 (OS5) synch with my Mac?

If I use the new "Reminders" app in iOS 5 on my iPhone 4, will these reminders be synched or backed-up with an iTunes synch? (I synch with Office Mac '11 Outlook for Calender, Contacts & Notes)? I am reading that they will be backed up and (potentially) synched thru iCloud, but I am not using iCloud (yet) because my Mac is still running Snow Leopard (and will be for awhile), so I don't see any advantage to iCloud if my only potential synch target is my Mac, which can't use iCloud until I upgrade. But maybe the need to back-up Remindes is a reason to use iCloud, if they're not backed-up any other way?? Comments appreciated.

Reminders are part of the iPhone backup, wherever it goes (iCloud, Mac via cable or Mac via iTunes). However, I haven't found an app that they sync with. They do appear in iCloud, but I've found it to be "quirky", in that Reminders in iCloud have different fields and capabilities than those on the iPhone.

Synch with ical and google

I am able to synch wirelessly between touch and google but would also like to synch with ical. When i connect with new mac book and i get a message that says touch is already being synched with exchange server and cannot be synched with ical.
Ideas greatly appreciated!

Actually, Free if only using the botton tier service that Apple will be offering.
If you are just using less than 5GB, it's free. An extra 10GB will cost $20 per year, while an extra 20GB runs $40 / year and an extra 50GB will demand $100 per annum. And yes, Add to that $24.99 if you are using the iTunes match service.

My new iphone 5 email is synched with my home office computer Outlook email using a POP account, but deleting an email on my computer does not delete it on my phone and vice versa. Is there any way to get a true synch?.

My new iPhone 5 email is synched with my home office computer Outlook email using a POP account, but deleting an email on my computer does not delete the email on my phone and vice versa. Is there any way to get a true synch?.

POP does not support synchronization between the server and clients. You will need to use IMAP or Exchange Active Sync if your email provider supports it.

I bought a new imac running Loin and Office 2011. The server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software.

I bought a new imac running Loin with Office 2011. I am the only mac in the office and the Server we use to access emails runs exchange 2003 and my IT person says the imac is not compatible with the server. The server does not want to let me access using any email software other than webmail access through our website. It looks as though 2011 is not compatible with 2003 per some searches online, but what are some options I have to gain full access again? I purchased parallels in hopes that this my help and I am able to use remote desktop connection to log on to server but can not drag and drop files I need. There is a shared drive on that Server we all use to exchange files.
The two main issues are gaining access to my email again and ability to drag and drop files from mac to pc. I hope this is enough info to get some solutions.
PS - IT person says my iMac's IP is what his server does not understand so that is why I can not login.

Office 2011 is not compatbile with Exchange 2003.
I suggest you post further Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software:

Windows Search Service Best Pratices on RDP Server with office 2013

high everybody,
i´m looking for guide how to configure the Windows Search Service on our Server 2012 RDS Servers. The Servers have Office 2013 installed so turning off the Search Service is not an Option. We are using User Profile disks and logoff was getting slower
as time goes by. Reading in another thread if have deleted the Subkeys under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\CrawlScopeManager\Windows\SystemIndex\DefaultRules
and restarted the Search Service.
This Resulted in a lighning fast logoff ( less then 5 Seconds) before that logoff took up to 2 Minutes. Looking at the Reg Key´s i found that underneth the mentioned Key there was a subkey for each user that has EVER loged on to this Server. Normal load
should be about 30 Users and i found about 700 subkey´s. To it seems that this causes the Search Service searchindexer.exe to read thru all this key´s witch i think is not the Problem ( Internet Explorer does far more reads and writes) but what happens
with the Information.
Maybe it has to to with the fact, that we are using User Profile Disks ?
In the Search Service Policy i have excluded "C:","users homedrive" and the Share where the Users share theyr data, for the Search Service to exclude.
So does anybode have experience with Seach Service on RDS Servers with Office maybe with User Profile Disks ?
Thanks Reiner

Hi Reiner,
You can check the following article might helpful to resolve your case.
Incomplete search results may occur in Outlook when a PDF iFilter is installed
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2925203/en-us
Also try uninstalling office 2013 application and then reinstall by running change user /install command in elevated command prompt on RDS server prior to install software's. Post software installation you need to run
change user /execute command on server

Just updated to my macbook pro to 10.8.2. ical not synching with my Exchange 2010 server. Worked flawlessly prior to the upgrade. Settings set to auto discover. I matched settings of a partner in my who is still using 10.7.1 without issues. Help!

Also - my battery has been telling me "service battery" for a LONG time and then it switched to "replace soon" som time ago. Can't really see what this has to do with anything but whatever.
That could conceivably explain all the problems you're describing. Replacing a Mac's battery should not be postponed since a failed battery will cause other problems to occur. It is also possible that its hard disk has failed, which means the information on it may soon become unrecoverable.
... my latest TM back up was from April 2014, can I just run this when I have rescued everthing and then it might not be as slow?
If that Time Machine backup remains intact, it may be the only viable means of recovering that Mac's information. I suggest you do not attempt to restore its contents to your ailing Mac.
Given that you are having trouble creating a newer Time Machine backup you should stop using that Mac immediately and have it serviced as soon as you are able. Do not take it to anyone other than Apple or a service facility authorized by Apple, for the very reasons you explained. If there are no Apple Stores in your vicinity search for an Authorized Apple Service Provider using the Contact Us link below. Use one of the options that appear under Contact Apple Support. The language on that page will be different for your location.

Exception calling "Activate" with "0" argument(s): "Topology does not contain any components of type Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.Topology.AdminComponen

Hi,
I have a Sharepoint 2013 farm I am trying to provision search for (not the same as my other thread). However, I get the below error:
Exception calling "Activate" with "0" argument(s): "Topology does not contain any components of type Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.Topology.AdminComponent"
In my script, I have the following:
New-SPEnterpriseSearchAdminComponent -SearchTopology $clone -SearchServiceInstance $SearchServiceInstanceServer3 -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
So I am not sure why the error happens, when I am trying to set this component. However, it's not the first component to be set (index partition on non-local servers first). I can make it first, but why does this error happen?
UPDATE: I have noticed that the usage and health proxy on my farm is/was stopped, but I am not able to access the server(s) to look at this right now. Could this cause this issue?

Do you already have Admin component running for the Search Service Application?
Usage and Health Service will not cause this issue.
Please also refer to below discussion to see if it helps:

I can see my folders by clicking the X next to my name on the Inbox Folder. So I have my folders now, just cannot see them in the left colum or see multiple windows on Outlook. At this point, I can use the folders, just with limited functionality. Thanks -Gina

Cannot open Office 2004 documents with Office 2011 on Lion Server

I am in the process of moving our documents from a Tiger server to Lion server. My users who are using Office 2004 are having no issues, but the users with Office 2011 cannot open any documents with the .doc extension. I have tried logging on using afp and smb and I get different error messages but no access. When logging on as smb if I try to double-click I get the file type blocked message. If I go to File/Open I get the message Word cannot open this document. The file be in use, etc. There are no special characters in the file name. If I try to open a docx document then no problem. The same problem occurs with xls versus xlsx documents. Does anyone know if there is something different I should be doing. Permissions are set for full access. We have a mix of users with both versions of Office and over 90% of the file server are .doc or .xls documents. I cannot fully implement until I get this resolved.

I am having the same problem with UCM 10gr3. Our desktop engineers are doing an enterprise upgrade of MS Office to 2010 and this issue just surfaced. Trish, how do your users authenticate to Beehive? We are using a cusom connector using our AD.
