Tools for debugging iPhone CalDAV interactions?

I'm trying to connect my internal CalDAV server to my iPhone but am running into issues. The CalDAV account is recognized as valid on the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" settings page, and I can see activity on my server where (as far as I can tell) valid XML is being sent to the device, but none of these events are showing up in the Calendar (nor is it displayed as an available CalDAV calendar).
This is a new CalDAV interface, so I'm fairly certain it's an issue on my end - but I can't see what's causing the iPhone to choke. Is there a way to access debugging output/log files for the iPhone calendar app? If not, is there a reliable iPhone emulator that runs the Calendar app (the emulators I've come across are geared for custom app dev, not for testing the "standard" apps).

Hello -
I faced a similar issue.
I used the following to force my UIView to report to its parent UIScrollView:
[self.nextResponder.nextResponder touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
I am not exactly sure why but I had to jump one "nextResponder" to go directly to the one above.
This is all quite obscure to me; but somehow it seems to work....
BTW, it is possible to check "who is who" using:
NSLog(@"%s",[self.nextResponder.description cStringWithEncoding:1]);
(self-made probably-quite-primitive trick...)
Hope that helps.

  • Silverlight Tool for debugging and inspecting UI created dynamically from Styles

    We have a Silverlight grid. In the grid style xaml, in row header style, I am creating a custom grid column header with an arrow on the click of which it renders a list box control with columns name and check boxes to select. This
    list is populated from a ColumnViewModel. The listbox on opening overlays the grid. I have to convert it to WPF grid.
    In this case,How to debug and trace visual tree so that I can port the similar tree to WPF.
    Any tool to inspect run time bindings value with Styles and inspect the rendered UI in Silverlight ? 

    Hi,
    Here is a user convert silverlight to wpf successfully and wrote a blog:

  • Does Firefox have developer tools for debugging javascript code?

    I am learning to write javascript in web pages. I have written some code that does not work as expected. I would like to set break points and check variables as the code executes. Are there add-ons or built-in tools that provide this functionality in Firefox? Thanks for your help.

    It is not so much a matter of ODT supporting object types as it is whether ODP.NET does since ODP.NET is the underlying data access layer for ODT. Unfortunately ODP.NET does not support object types.
    Possibly leading to some confusion about this is that the "PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference" is included in the ODT documentation that integrates into Visual Studio .NET combined help collection. Chapter 5 in the User's Guide is about "Using PL/SQL Collections and Records". However, PL/SQL Associative Arrays (which are described in this chapter along with VARRAYs and nested tables) are the only supported collection you can use at this time.

  • Used SEO tool for iWeb now site not displaying properly on iPhone....

    Hello!
    I used the SEO tool for Iweb for my site and it;s displaying perfectly on my macbook but when I look at it on my iphone it's a mess... No background, no header, can't change pages etc....
    HELP!
    Thanks in Advance.

    So the problem occurs when you use that application.
    Does the problem occur when you do not use that application?
    If not, then SEO Tools is the problem and iWeb is not involved.

  • Why is there no Verizon Interactive Simulator for my iPhone 5s?

    Why is there no Verizon Interactive Simulator for my iPhone 5s?  The Verizon page for obtaining a Verizon hotspot is available for all phones except Apple, why?

        Captfrog-
    I understand the importance of interactive simulators because they are so useful when learning tips and tricks about the phones.  I apologize we don't have one listed on our page for the iPhone 5s, but here is a link so you can get more information online http://bit.ly/1bRR5ss .  Have a great rest of your day!

  • Debugging Tool for JSP

    Is there any debugging tool for JSP, which point out the line number where the error is. currently I am using notepad for JSP coding. It takes too much time for error finding.
    Usman

    You can use WebSphere Studio Application developer, which would probably be over kill if you are just doing JSPs because it does so much more. You may want to look at its open source verison eclipse at eclipse.org.
    Good Luck,

  • Error during DatabaseCopy using SAP tools for SQL Server (v7.12)

    I'm trying to perform a system copy from PRD to QAS.  The database has been mounted to QAS via detach and attach method.  I did a DBCC on the database and everything looks OK.  I'm running SAPINST (SAP Tools for MSSQL) and selecting the Database Copy option.  The source database has a schema of DBO.  Both PRD and QAS are running SAP 4.7/Basis 620.  The target schema is QAS.  SAPINST fails in step 2 (Define Params) with:
    "This service cannot be used for a system with SAP ABAP release 620"
    Is this message misleading?  Has anyone receive this message before.
    UPDATE:
    I donwloaded the latest version of SAP Tools for MSSQL and now it failes during the execution phase on step, "Convert DB objects to new schema".

  • Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer?  How do I get my data back -- off the iCloud?

    Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer?  ---- Apple care suggested using iCloud for a backup to my documents.  I do not have an iphone, ipad or laptop.  Just an iMac.  Nothing to share the data with.
    Now I am unable to access some of my documents on my computer and saving documents is cumbersome because it always wants to save it in iCloud, not my computer.  The documents I am unable to open are my old MS-Word.  One is a macro enabled word doc.   I am using os x mountain lion.
    After over an hour chat with apple care, the issue is not resolved.  I did not have more time to resolve the issue today and it will be continued next week.  Per apple care, I do not have any documents in the iCloud however I am almost at the free capacity with  contacts and documents.
    My question is -- If I purchase backup from a clould provider - other than apple, back up my files in documents in their cloud (make sure I can open them) and then delete the link to iCloud.  Would I preserve my data? Has anyone tried this?  I am open to suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Phyllis

    Is the iCloud a backup tool for your computer?  ---- Apple care suggested using iCloud for a backup to my documents.
    Not really. You can store "Documents in the Cloud" but this applies only to documents created by Pages, Numbers, Preview, Keynote, and Microsoft Office documents created on your computer stored in iCloud's "iWork". Within that limited purpose, iCloud works very well.
    My question is -- If I purchase backup from a clould provider - other than apple, back up my files in documents in their cloud (make sure I can open them) and then delete the link to iCloud.  Would I preserve my data?
    I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by "purchase backup from a cloud provider" but if you're considering a service such as Carbonite, I don't advocate any of them. To back up your Mac, use your own backup device - Time Capsule or an external hard disk. It's inexpensive and reliable: two elements essential for a backup strategy, that no subscription service can offer.

  • Is Captivate 4 the right tool for my purposes?

    This posting should not be misunderstood as bad mouthing Captivate 4. For the most part, I really appreciate Adobe products and have invested a significant amount of personal money into many Adobe products over the years.
    My current role involves designing a course curriculum using Adobe Captivate 4 and Adobe Connect Pro. Unfortunately, I am becoming increasingly concerned that I may be using the wrong tool, at least, in regards to developing all parts of a lesson. Perhaps my workflow will improve if I develop the front facing portion of my lessons with Lectora, and use Captivate solely for creating software simulations?
    Because I have already spent a lot of time building my first lessons, and I have a subscription to Adobe Connect Pro, I would rather solve the issues I listed, rather than start over.
    My question is... are my issues based on my lack of knowledge with Captivate 4, or am I experiencing real issues with this product? If it is my lack of knowledge, please tell me how to solve my issues.
    At this point, I would like to give kudos to Rick Stone (known as Captiv8r) for all his help as a hired consultant. I highly recommend his services. Without him, I probably would not have gone as far as I have with Captivate.
    Please correct or comment on the followin…
    Minor annoyances
    -    Too easy to accidentally move objects. Double clicking on a small graphic or a text caption can easily cause it to move or change size slightly. No way to lock their position only (e.g. lock text position but still allow editing).
    -    Text caption boxes mysterious maximize (vertically) from time to time.
    -    Grouping of objects is not possible.
    -    Previewing “From this slide – F8” does not take into account (or initialize) persistent graphics (or otherwise) on the first slide or template; this results in missing objects when doing a quick preview.
    -    Item names/variables are unwieldy. I have a number of graphics which I re-use throughout a lesson. I want to give each of them common names, such as ico_jobaid, img_core_splash, etc. Unfortunately, I cannot use identical names throughout a lesson. Each page requires a unique name for every object. This results in an item name like ico_interactive.png (as it is named in the library), appearing as TImageItem681 and TImageItem680 (copied twice) on a slide.
    This is common for every object and makes it difficult to control objects.
    Major issues
    -    Occasionally I insert a graphics that can’t be made visible.
    -    .cp file size seems to continuously increase in size, despite removing unused resources.
    -    Text bullet issues (ending bullets occasional show up as a larger size)
    -    Roll-over slidlets do not work as intended in AS3 mode. I must preview or publish in AS2.
    -    Recording Software Simulations!
    Captivate 4 allows recording of simulations in up to four modes (Demonstration, Training, Assessment, and Custom). Unfortunately, it appears to record these simulations are separate and distinct recordings. This is a problem because call-outs and other edits must be repeated for each simulation. Other simulation tools record once and can be edited once for passive and/or interactive viewing.
    -    Buttons! Multiple buttons/text captions on a slide.
    If I want to place multiple buttons on a slide, I must follow these steps to make these buttons/captions work properly. This is an unreasonable amount of work in order to use buttons on a single slide.
    Step 1 - Determine the frame value. Note: It seems that if the frame value is not included, the lesson will move to the next slide, after clicking one button. Another caveat is that adding or removing slides may change the correct frame value.
    1. Click Insert from the top menu,
    2. Select Standard Objects,
    3. Select Text Caption,
    4. Click the Insert Variable button,
    5. Select System from the Variable Type pull-down menu,
    6. Select rdinfoCurrentFrame from the Variables pull-down menu.
    7. Position the text caption appropriately on the screen. You may need an appropriate pause inserted in order to see the value.
    8. Click Preview and select Project from the pull-down menu (or Click F4),
    9. Step through slide show to the slide where rdinfoCurrentFrame text variable was inserted and record the displayed value.
    Step 2 – Insert Button control
    1. Click Insert from the top menu,
    2. Select Standard Objects,
    3. Select Button,
    4. Choose appropriate button and button options (skipping steps),
    5. Click Ok,
    6. Position button appropriately.
    Step 3 – Setting up advanced actions.
    1. Click Project from top menu,
    2. Select Actions,
    3. Click the Advanced Actions tab,
    4. Click the Edit / Create Action Pull down menu and select Create a New Action…,
    5. In the new action name: text box, type action name (i.e. but_core_console),
    6. Double click twice on Add Statement (sometimes it doesn’t behave as it should),
        – this feature seems error prone.
    7. Double click twice on Statement (in red),
    8. Select Standard Action from pull-down list,
    9. Select Show from pull-down list,
    10. Select object name (text caption) you wish to show,
    11. Repeat (if necessary),
    12. Select hide and the element name you wish to hide and repeat as necessary,
    13. Double click twice on Add Statement (sometimes it doesn’t behave as it should)
    – this feature seems error prone.
    14. Double click twice on Statement (in red),
    15. As the last step, select Assignment from pull down list,
    16. Select rdcmndGotoFrame from pull down list,
    17. Select Value from pull-down list,
    18. Enter the frame value (as determined Step 1),
    19. Click Save.
    For the next buttons,
    1. Click the Duplicate button,
    2. Edit the New action name: name appropriately,
    3. Edit the information in the Advanced actions for the this action. (skipping steps)
    4. Click Save.
    Repeat as necessary!
    Configuring buttons
    1. Double click on first button,
    2. In the section, “If the user clicks on the button”,
        click on “On success” pull-down menu and select, “Execute advanced action”.
    3. Click the Action pull-down menu and select the appropriate named action.
    Repeat as necessary.
    -    Building buttons for several slides will create a large number of advance actions. Even though these advanced actions are only applicable to a single slide, they are viewable from any slide in a lesson. The number of actions (or advanced actions) quickly adds up in a complex lesson.
    -    Cannot find a way to edit the default look (object positioning/object sizes) of a quiz. The only attribute that seems changeable is the font size.
    Lock ups and crashes
    -    Double clicking on a .cp file will often result in Captivate freezing at the start up screen.
    -    Captivate crashes and sometimes predictably, especially where animations are inserted.
    I am using both a Windows 7 64 bit and a Windows Vista 32 bit OS. I have tried the following options with seemingly no difference: RUN AS Admin, XP Compatibility mode
    Examples from Windows Applications log:
    The program AdobeCaptivate.exe version 4.0.1.1658 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Problem Reports and Solutions control panel.

Process ID: 1654 Start Time: 01ca622b67764380 Termination Time: 70

    The only one that can answer that question is yourself ;o)
    I wrote my comments and suggestions with red text here. My company uses Captivate to develop courses and so far we have been very happy with Captivate. Earlier we used Flash to develop courses, but the development time was very long so Captivate has allowed us to speed up the development process with 2-300%. We still use Flash quite a lot to build interactions etc. and import these into Captivate to add extra features.
    We did look at a variety of tools when we wanted to find an alternative to Flash but at that time (we started with Captivate 2) we found that the best option was indeed Captivate. I regularly check up on competing products and there are some interesting alternatives available now but they are not as advanced as Captivate imho.
    When that is said. Captivate is (and has always been) full of weird bugs and things that aren't working properly. This is extremely annoying but we have learned to work our way around most of them. It also seems that the stability of Captivate varies greatly from installation to installation. We are 8 people in my department all working with Captivate. Our computers are all the same and the OS is a corporate standard. Despite this some people here have some weird problems with Captivate that I never experience. I can't explain why it happens (and neither can they) but it could be the installation or it could be the way people work. An example is "missing/corrupt" Captivate files. We have always been working directly on a network drive. This is something that is often recommended against doing because it can cause corrupt Captivate files. The interesting thing is that I have never once experienced a corrupt Captivate file even though i have opened, worked on and saved many thousands of them from/to our network drive. One of my colleagues had around 20 occurences of corrupt Captivate files in the same timespan and from the same network drive.
    The biggest problem in Captivate is the quiz module in my opinion. The quiz module is probably the most important when we talk about E-learning development tools and that is where Captivate is the weakest. You can't really customize your quizzes, there isn't enough different question types and interaction types, you can't use video but worst of all - it is unstable and buggy. Users can get stuck in a quiz without being able to move forward or backwars, the review quiz is buggy etc.
    One thing I often see with Captivate developers is that they try and do everything in Captivate. While most things are possible to do in Captivate then it might no be the best solution. Some things can be created in Flash and imported into Captivate saving you tons of time and grief and in the end give you a much better end-product. I know that everyone doesn't have access to a Flash programmer, but then you can buy your way out of the problem.
    If you are looking for a tool where you can have full control of everything in your courses then the only real solution is Adobe Flash. This will allow you to build the courses exactly as you please but it comes at a big price. It gets way more complex to create courses, which results in longer development times and updating your existing course becomes much more difficult and time consuming.
    Minor annoyances
    -    Too easy to accidentally move objects. Double clicking on a small graphic or a text caption can easily cause it to move or change size slightly. No way to lock their position only (e.g. lock text position but still allow editing).
    Doesn't really bother me but I guess it's different from person to person. You could just click on the object in the timeline instead to avoid moving the object.
    -    Text caption boxes mysterious maximize (vertically) from time to time.
    I never experienced that.
    -    Grouping of objects is not possible.
    I agree that this could be handy on slides with many objects.
    -    Previewing “From this slide – F8” does not take into account (or initialize) persistent graphics (or otherwise) on the first slide or template; this results in missing objects when doing a quick preview.
    Yes but if Captivate was to take into account everything that happened earlier than previewing from this slide you might as well click preview project (F4).
    -    Item names/variables are unwieldy. I have a number of graphics which I re-use throughout a lesson. I want to give each of them common names, such as ico_jobaid, img_core_splash, etc. Unfortunately, I cannot use identical names throughout a lesson. Each page requires a unique name for every object. This results in an item name like ico_interactive.png (as it is named in the library), appearing as TImageItem681 and TImageItem680 (copied twice) on a slide.
    I think this is the same in any application.. The whole idea of naming objects is that they have a unique name to be identified and manipulate later. I do however agree that the default naming in Captivate sucks. If the resource is named ico_interactive.png in the library, then Captivate should name it slide1_ico_interactive.png as the object name. It would make it easier and quicker to identify the correct resources.
    Major issues
    -    Occasionally I insert a graphics that can’t be made visible.
    I never experienced that with properly configured graphics. Sure you can have problems if you insert a CMYK image or a 300 dpi image, but if you use RGB 72dpi images then it works fine. (at least it always have for me).
    -    .cp file size seems to continuously increase in size, despite removing unused resources.
    True but I never really experienced this as a problem. In Captivate 3 it could really get out of hand, but in CP4 it's much better. Alternatively create a blank Captivate file with the same dimensions and copy/paste your slides into that. (Don't know how it will behave with all your advanced actions though).
    -    Text bullet issues (ending bullets occasional show up as a larger size)
    It is because you have a different font size on the last line of the caption. Just do a CTRL-A to select all the text and select the proper font size. Alternatively adjust the default font and size to what you want in Captivate to avoid this in the future.
    -    Roll-over slidlets do not work as intended in AS3 mode. I must preview or publish in AS2.
    Didn't know that - you should probably report it as a bug if you haven't done so already.
    -    Recording Software Simulations!
    Captivate 4 allows recording of simulations in up to four modes (Demonstration, Training, Assessment, and Custom). Unfortunately, it appears to record these simulations are separate and distinct recordings. This is a problem because call-outs and other edits must be repeated for each simulation. Other simulation tools record once and can be edited once for passive and/or interactive viewing.
    Agree - this is rather annoying.
    -    Buttons! Multiple buttons/text captions on a slide.
    From what I understand you have a whole bunch of buttons on a slide and then when the user clicks on one it shows some text / image? If that is the case then yes it will be a tedious process to build all this. I don't know if it would be easy in any other applications though (surely most of the other Rapid E-learning tools won't even be able to do it). Perhaps it would be better to rethink the way you build the course. Can't you use rollover captions / images instead?
    Another alternative is to build these "interactions" in Flash and then import them into Captivate. Basically you would need to build a couple of different templates where you would be able to reuse the Flash framework and only change images/text in Flash and then importo it into Captivate.
    -    Cannot find a way to edit the default look (object positioning/object sizes) of a quiz. The only attribute that seems changeable is the font size.
    This is a major handicap in Captivate and one of the reasons why we don't use Captivate quizzes in our courses. We build all our course in Captivate (and add Flash and other interactions) but we always use a Flash Quiz. The Captivate quiz is simply too ugly and unstable. We deploy courses to 35.000 people worldwide so stability is our number one priority and sadly Captivate quizzes don't offer that at this point.
    Lock ups and crashes
    -    Double clicking on a .cp file will often result in Captivate freezing at the start up screen.
    I never had that problem. I use Win XP, Vista 64-bit and Win7 64-bit.
    -    Captivate crashes and sometimes predictably, especially where animations are inserted.
    I am using both a Windows 7 64 bit and a Windows Vista 32 bit OS. I have tried the following options with seemingly no difference: RUN AS Admin, XP Compatibility mode
    My regular development PC runs Windows XP Pro. I never have any problems here. On Vista 64-bit I have a ton of problems, but Captivate didn't crash or lock up - it simply didn't perform the actions I wanted it to do. So far on Windows 7 I haven't encountered any crashes or problems. However there is no doubt that Captivate 4 was designed with Win XP in mind and Vista and Win7 are not native platforms for it.

  • I changed my Apple ID for an iphone 4s and need to change the iCloud Apple ID/password.  I am unable to change the Apple ID under the iCloud account information without the password which no longer exists.  How can I update my phone?

    I had to change the Apple ID used for my iphone 4s.  How do I change the Apple ID for the iCloud information? - the old Apple ID/password no longer exists and this information is requested to make a change.  I am unable to change the Apple ID for the iCloud account.

    Apple IDs never go away, so it still exists.
    But lets be clear. You actually stopped using an Apple ID and created a NEW Apple ID. You didn't just change the email address of your Apple ID? That means that all of the music and apps purchased with the old Apple ID will have to be purchased again.
    If you really did create a new Apple ID you will need the password associated with the old one to disable Activation Lock. There is no way around this. As I said, the old one still exists. You can use the standard tools to recover the password at https://appleid.apple.com.

    I also see that you have less than 10% of free space left on your HDD.

  • How to start SAPGUI at entry point to RFC for debugging (using JCO)?

    Hi,
    I am calling an RFC using JCO and trying to have the SAPGUI pop up at the entry point to the RFC for debugging.  But it is not working on Mac OS X.
    I activate the debug via
       JCO.Client client = JCO.createClient(..);
       client.setAbapDebug(true);
       client.setSapGui(1);
       client.connect();
    it gives error:
    sh: line 1: /usr/sap/DV2/SYS/exe/run/sapgui: No such file or directory
    com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (103) RFC_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE: Start 'sapgui' failed.
         at com.sap.mw.jco.rfc.MiddlewareRFC$Client.nativeConnect(Native Method)
         at com.sap.mw.jco.rfc.MiddlewareRFC$Client.connect(MiddlewareRFC.java:1098)
    I then tried to set environment variable SAPGUI=/Applications/SAPGUI\ for\ Java\ 6.3r5.2/SAPGUI\ 6.30rev5.2.app/Contents/MacOS/SAPGUI
    and it then starts up the SAPGUI for Java Logon Pad.
    But, I want the SAPGUI to start up at the entry point to the RFC.
    Is this possible in Mac OS X?  It has worked before on Windows using the RFC SDK utilities or middleware tools such as IBM Crossworlds.
    Thanks

    Hi Robert,
    Thanks for the reply, it was very helpful as I had given up hope on getting a solution.  Unfortunately I am still getting an error.
    1) I created a script as per your directions containing
    "/Applications/SAPGUI for Java 6.3r5.2/SAPGUI 6.30rev5.2.app/Contents/MacOS/SAPGUI" -n -o $*
    2) Now the SAPGUI application starts, but does not open a window and I get the error:

  • How to setup gmail push notification for my iphone 5?

    I'm using gmail. Prompt respond for mails is very urgent for me.
    How to setup gmail push notification for my iphone 5?

    I switched from a BB to an iPhone a few days ago and I knew I was going to miss the QWERTY keyboard but then I also discovered that my GMail doesn't 'push' to my iPhone. I was used to 'push' for all mail accounts on the BB. I also missed being able to personalize text, email, and phone tones for individuals.
    I tried the Gmail app for iOS and it does deliver Gmail to the iPhone app quickly but the text is tiny and when it is a web page it's almost impossible to read.
    So, I have worked out a kludge to get around these problems.
    I added my exisiting Gmail account to the iPhone.
    Hotmail does push to iOS 7 so I created a Outlook account (could be hotmail or Live) using the web browser.
    I added the hotmail account to the iPhone. I basically use this to give fast notification of important emails on my iPhone.
    On my macbook email client I created a rule that 'redirects' incoming mail to the hotmail account. The 'Redirect' is important since the email will show up in the hotmail account on the iPhone as coming from the original sender and you can then respond to the original sender from the iPhone, though the sender will see it as coming from the hotmail account.
    The other downside is that you will get a second copy of the email in the gmail inbox on the iPhone, probably 15 minutes later.
    If you don't want all of the mail being redirected you can create a 'redirect' group in the Address book and then adjust the rule in Apple mail to only redirect the mail to the hotmail account if the sender is in the redirect group. You can add and delete contacts from this group depending upon which ones you consider to be important. You will still get two copies of the email on the iPhone, one in the hotmail inbox and one in the gmail inbox.
    You can prevent this from happening temporarily by turning off, but not deleting, the gmail account on the iPhone. You could then edit the emails on the Apple email client before turning the gmail back on in the iPhone.
    And finally if you use the VIP feature in email on the iPhone you can create a list of VIP contacts and then assign a different notification sound for the VIP's. So in effect important contacts mail will be redirect to the iPhone for quick notification and very, very important contacts will have a different notification sound.
    I'm basically using the Hotmail account as a notification  tool and basically delete all the emails in it since the original copy will be in the gmail account.
    And best of all it's all free, except for the bandwidth.
