SyncServices and MS Entourage 2004/2008 broken for recurring tasks?

Recurring tasks won't work
I believe the problem is related to the synchronization of Entourage to iCal. I'm able to replicate the problem consistently when synchronization is enabled.
Problem
* Open Entourage preferences and enable the synchronization of events and tasks to iCal
* Create a new recurring task and save it
* Wait a few minutes for Entourage to sync the task to iCal
* Open the task and observe the recurrence has been removed
The above described issue never occurs if the synchronization of events and tasks to iCal is disabled.
This problem has been around since the release of Leopard. I can't replicate the problem in Tiger.
I've built a brand new system using a clean install and a fresh installation of MS Office 2004 & 2008, but still have the same problem.

I'm having the same problem with recurring tasks. Have you found a solution?

  • 10.6.7, hardware failure but the hard drive is intact.  I can access the hard drive via Linux.  Need to get mail from Mail.app and from Entourage 2004.

    I need to know a couple of things, but y'all may not have all the answers I need.
    First, I need to know how to retrieve the mail files from Mail.app and from Entourage 2004.  I don't know if this is a valid asusmption, but in my experience with Windows, I know that Outlook keeps everything in a single monolithic .PST file.  Is this the case with either Mail.app or with Entourage?
    Second, I need to know how to access said mail files in a Linux mail app.  The mail from Mail.app is more important than that from Entourage, so it has to take priority.  Will I need some sort of converter program, or is there enough similarity between Mail.app and one of the Linux mail applications that I can simply import it?  (BTW, I'm running Ubuntu Linux 11.04 on my Linux netbook. I wish there was some way I could get Snow Leopard on here.)
    Any advice on any of this problem will be extremely helpful. Thanks.

    Direct install MacBuntu (based upon Ubuntu 11.04)

    I have it running on one of my single core netbooks.
    WIth your other problem, just borrow a Mac temporariy, drag a enclosure to a Apple Store and use one of theirs, they don't mind as they have Deep Freeze installed on all their machines so changes don't stick upon rebooting.

  • What are the differences between Turn in Final Timesheet and the other option: Send Progress for Selected Tasks?

    Hello,
    The resource filled his/her timesheet in PWA. 
    Now : 
    What are the differences between Turn in Final Timesheet
    and the other option: Send Progress for Selected Tasks?
    Thanks

    You are partially correct and partially wrong.
    Turn
    in Final Timesheet sends
    the timesheet to the Timesheet Manager for Approval
    but task update always goes to Status manger of the task. Taks manager you can see in MPP(insert status manager field then check)
    Yes
    after approval progress will be available in MPP as well as in Projectweb app as % complete . 
    Send
    Progress for Selected Tasks 
    Send progress of selected task to status manager after approval update will be available in both MPP and Projectweb
    app as % complete.
    In Send
    Progress for Selected Tasks Timesheet
    Manager doesn't receive anything in his Approval center
    because all the update directly go to Status manager Approval center.
    Here you have to understand
    that there are two role Timesheet Manager(for timesheet approval) and Status manager(for task
    actual approval)

  • Not able to see published task and not able to reset version for the task

    Hi,
    Created a task ,validated,by selecting the task clicked Publish button in tools to publish the task.
    In Client Application(Callcenter) navigated Administration-Business Process->Task Deployment
    Here not able to see published task to activate.
    Tried twice by copying record but not able to see.
    I am not able to reset version for the task created.
    Could you please let me know how to overcome these.
    Using sample database of siebel8.0.0.5
    Thank you

    Hi Dude,
    To trobleshoot this you need to do the following steps:
    1) cross check in tools the srf which you are compling , the same srf should be used by the clent application i.e. call center
    2) the secound thing is in the Siebel tools there is a toolbar at the top, from where you have published the task, there beside you will find a button called Revise you can revise you task, first select task and click revise button.
    3) and also you remember a task which you create is validated by right clicking the task record and choose validate.
    4) remember, a task which you create should be registered same as like responsibilities, by navigating to Administration-Applicatrion > Task
    Register the task with same name as you have used in Siebel Tools.
    As, for best practices after creating a task first validate it, then after register it in Administration-Applicatrion > Task , then after toolbar there is a button callled publish and activate click that one .
    and that's All.

  • Planned Task - Problems with user Rights for recurring tasks

    Hi there,
    I'm currently trying to configure a database replication tool from a 3rd party supplier to work as planned task on Windows Server 2012 R2 (Datacenter).
    There's a very strange problem, however: It does work perfect, if I configure the task to occur only once. It does not work, if I check the "Run that task each XXX hours/days"-Checkbox when configuring the Trigger.
    i.E.: works, when I have a trigger for each hour, doen't work if I configure one trigger to reoccur each hour.
    I tried to pinpoint that problem down, and I found that the task cannot access it's logfile when it's started "reoccurring" (It probably would not make sense to post a screenshot here, since I'm working with the german version of the server). It
    also does not work if I configure a specific trigger to end the task after XXX hours/days/etc. of operation.
    To form a more specific question: are there differences in the rights used to start a process, if it is scheduled to be started each our, by configuring a reoccurring trigger?
    Thank's in Advance,
    Alex

    Hi ALex,
    Would you please post more detailed information about Planned and recurring tasks?
    If you means creating task in task scheduler, in general, the triggers shouldn't frustrate the execution of the task, and we usually need to check the security option in the task.
    To troubleshoot the issue in task scheduler, please enable the task history: Open an elevated Task Scheduler (ie. right-click on the Task Scheduler icon and choose Run as administrator)->In the Actions pane, click Enable All Tasks History.
    If you means creating recurring tasks on project server, I recommend you can post in the dedicated Forum for a better response:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?category=project
    If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
    Best Regards,

  • Visual Studio "Lite" vs CR 2008 upgrade for about 300 bucks

    I have a problem in program access to CR objects - specifically that when i get a TextObject in code it does not support all the properties that I see in the Designer for this same object. Thats not good for me so I am considering an upgrade to next level
    the feature comparision for the visual studio lite to CR 2008 (link below) states the following:

  • Transfer Entourage 2004 in Tiger to Mail in Lion

    I've been reading postings for hours but I haven't found an answer to my specific question.
    I just bought a refurb May 2011 iMac that was delivered with Lion installed. I've been using a 2005 G5 running Tiger and Office/Entourage 2004. I'd like to know if there's a way to transfer all the information from Entourage to Mail.
    I've seen posts about using Sync, but I don't know what is supposed to happen after you click the check boxes. The two computers are connected via a LAN in my house, so there's no mail server.
    I've also seen posts about using the "import" function in Mail, but it tells me it can't find Entourage (probably because I'm on the iMac and Entourage is running on the G5).
    I also bought Snow Leopard 10.6.3 from the Apple store because I have several dozen programs that I want to continue using but that won't run in Lion but I haven't done anything with it yet.
    So, here's my question: Is there a (hopefully painless) way to transfer ALL my settings and info (accounts--I have approximately 15 accounts set-up in Entourage--, schedules, existing e-mails and folders, address books, calendars, etc.) from Entourage 2004 to Mail in Lion? I exported my Identity from Entourage and I transferred the Main Identity file on my iMac, but I don't know what to do with it now. I've figured out how to transfer the folders (via drag-and-drop mbox files) but I want everything transferred.
    Also, I've not seen anything about transferring accounts from Entourage to Mail at all.
    Am I asking too much?
    Thanks!

    If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
    5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

  • Specific Due Date Syntax for Create Task Workflow Action

    I'm looking for a formula which will create a monthly due date on a specific day of the month (ie 1st or 15th). I have figured out a way to create recurring activities through workflows by adding a recuurence picklist but I currently only have monthly recurrences as Today()+30 which works but is not as clean as a monthly task that occurs on the 15th of every month.

    Record Type=Activity
    Event=When modified record saved
    Workflow condition=FieldValue('<Type>')='To Do' AND FieldValue('<plRecurrence_ITAG>')='Every 30 days' AND FieldValue('<Status>')='Completed'
    Actions=Create Task
    Recurrence picklist is a required field and is chosen be the end user upon creation of the original activity (Type=To Do). The duplicate activity is created upon completion (see condition) and now the end user has a recurring task due 30 days out. this future task has the recurrence in the subject (since the recurrence field cannot be defined in the workflow action) and the end user is prompted by the system to complete the activity record (choose a recurrence) upon trying to save the record as complete or by clicking the "Mark as completed" button. Thus the cycle is repeated.
    All I'm trying to figure out is instead of having the formula [<DueDate>]+30 in the Due Date* field within the create task workflow action, I'd like a formula that can choose a specific day of the month. I've tried combinations of cast, concat, timeframe, month, year...expressions to give me the date value I'm looking for (ie 4/15/2011) but I can't get the syntax to work. all I need is that syntax that can provide a specific date (4/15/2011) derived from the due date.

  • I am puzzled by iMac(Intel ?).  I am running an iMac 24 and use Mac:Office 2008.  After having downloaded my Os X LION upgrade, I am suddenly unable to SAVE (and thus alter) my Excel quotations.  This is a major issue for a salesman.  Can anybody help me

    I am puzzled by the meaning of iMac (Intel) as I use an iMac 2 period.  I am running Mac : Office 2004 and do all my quotations in Excel.  After upgrading to OS X LION,  I am suddenly unable to SAVE my spreadsheets.  As a salesman whose quotations need frequent updating,  my situation is perilous to say the least.  Can anyone help me ?

    Office for Mac 2004 is NOT compatible with Lion. It must be upgraded to Office for Mac 2008 or 2011, once you have upgraded the files will be accessable. Office for Mac 2004 is written for old PPC (Power PC) based machines. Beginning with Lion support for PPC based apps has been dropped.

  • Any way to import entourage 2004 info (messages and addresses) into Mail - after installing Lion?

    I have just installed Lion - Entourage 2004 nop longer works (ok, I should have checked!). Does anyone know if I can set up Mail to import all my Entourage info (account details, emails and addresses)?

    The thing is, sometimes when I send PDFs it's fine, and sometimes she gets it and it's a jpeg and embedded ... not consistent at all ... I didn't assume for sure it was on my end, but without sitting at her computer and looking at Outlook, which I'll do the next time we meet, it's hard to know what's going on.
    I do know that sometimes when I attach a PDF, the whole thing shows up in the body of the email (like it's embedded), and sometimes it's just a PDF icon attachment, and so I know that's something happening on my end before I even send the file, but can't for the life of me figure out what.
    I like Mail a lot. But it does lack features that Outlook and Entourage have that I like. For instance being able to send an attachment to the main recipient only, and not the CCs and BCCs, which I used to so that a client knew I was sending the final high-res file to a printer, without having to send it to them. And I never had attachment problems when I used those programs, but maybe that's simply a function of using PC to PC programs.

  • Need App to make .sfil sounds for MS Entourage 2004

    This has to be about as obscure as you can get on these discussion boards, but:
    There used to be an app called SoundApp [http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/4124&vid=4134] that could convert any sound file to an .sfil (sound system file used in sys 9) file that is needed when creating Entourage 2004 sound sets. It no longer works because it needs the Classic environment.
    Is there any app out there that anyone knows of that will do this in Leopard?

    Okay it's not free but shareware 15 day try works on my Leopard, also on Intel Macs;
    It can open MP3 and Save as System 7 Sound including plenty of options for this format.
    Check it and let me know.

  • Not being asked for credentials in SSRS 2008 R2 for Firefox and Safari

    I have an instance of SSRS 2008 that is currently working on all browsers (the URL is something like reports.foo/reports).
    I spun up a new instance of SSRS and placed it on the url report01.foo/reports.  This new instance is connected to a different domain (I am spining up a Active Directory Domain and trying to build out our infrastructure, so the logins are different). 
    I am able to access the new URL (report01.foo/reports) from IE and Chrome.  It is asking for the username/password and able to get on just fine.
    However, when I try to go to the new URL (report01.foo/reports) using Safari and Firefox, it never asks for credentials and shows a blank page.  This does not happen for the old URL (reports.foo/reports), only the new URL.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Ben,
    Per my understanding that you have configured windows authentication and which by default will not prompt for credential. So I assumed you have changed the User Authentication setting in the security setting to pop up for credential, for example like below(IE),
    If so, your issue about the pop up credetial not pop up in Firefox and Safari can be caused by the related security setting, If you give Anonymous User rights, you may got the blank page:
