Using both iCal & Entourage

I'm using Entourage to manage my calendar, but I also use iCal for additional calendar functionality: to import multiple appointments through .VCS files, and to trigger Automator applications.
The trouble is that the Automator apps don't run if I enable the iCal option to turn off alerts when iCal isn't running. I don't want to see iCal alerts because they are duplicates of all my Entourage reminders, but I still want iCal to trigger my Automator events... Can I have it both ways?
Any suggestions?

In the iCal information window for a task or event you can select several options for the alarm. If you select "Message" or "Message with sound" then you will see the iCal alarm window as a reminder. However, if you select "Email", "Open file" or "Run script" then iCal should perform that action only. (Note that you can have more than one alarm type for the same event or task).
In your case, you probably want to select the "Open file" action, your file being your Automator action. If you want to quit iCal but still get the action, then you must have the "turn off alerts when iCal isn't running" option turned off.
I just tried this on my computer and it worked fine. But, *don't* edit the event/task alarm information in Entourage or it might mess up how you configured it in iCal. In my case when I edited the alarm time for a test task in Entourage, it then created a Message alarm in iCal, which caused both the Entourage and iCal notification windows to appear. When I looked at test task in iCal there were now 2 alarms - 1 open file and 1 message. (It seems that Entourage and iCal do sync the message type alarm.)
I *think* you can edit other information, e.g. description or notes, for the event and task, just not the alarm information.
Hope that helps!

Time issue in calendaring applications (iCal & Entourage)

I am experiencing some weird behavior when I edit or create new calendar entries in both iCal and Entourage. The event only shows the minutes filed (00-59) and no hour. I initially noticed the problem in Entourage and assumed it was an Office issue. After uninstalling and reinstalling office I realized it was happening in iCal as well. It is only happening in one user profile on my Mac so I know it must be something in the user profile that is causing the problem. I've checked all the settings in Date & Time and International but everything looks okay. I'm not even sure when the problem started or if it is affecting other applications.
Has any one encountered this before? Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Thanks sig! I've scoured both but haven't been able to find anyone having a similar issue. That said, my suspicion is this isn't an iCal or an Entourage issue since it is the same behavior in both applications. And since it doesn't happen in other user accounts, its clearly something within his user account. I'd venture to guess if we looked deeper we'd see the behavior in other applications that have similar functions (like Now Up-to-Date or something.) I suspect that it could be something like the International system preferences, that handle the time formatting, having a corrupt preference file or something like that. Unfortunately I haven't been able to identify which com.apple preference file handles the international settings or other time formatting functions.

ICal / Entourage invitation compatibility.

It seems there are several issues regarding calendar invitation compatibilly with iCal, Entourage, and Outlook. I've read the forum here, however, and have not seen this particular issue addressed, so if someone can shed some light it would be greatly appreciated!
In our office, some users are using iCal 2.0.3, others Entourage 11.2.1. When we invite each other to calendar appointments, there are various anomolies that occur. I'll list a few:
iCal to Entourage:
1) Some appointments with a 1 hour or less duration do not appear in the Entourage calendar after being accepted.
2) Time Zone support doesn't work. iCal appointments are bumped back an hour for no apparent reason. However, if the time zone on the appointment is set to "floating" in iCal before being sent, it seems to work fine in Entourage when recieved.
Entourage to iCal:
1) All-Day events come through as 12AM-12PM, not an actuall "All-Day" event. Also, multi-day events appear to have the correct dates, but since they are not recognized as "All-Day" events, they do not span the days and only appear on the first day of the event.
These are the few off the top of my head that we've noticed. Are there any solutions for these issues?
Thanks,
J

Me too. Same problems. Anyone?

Which mail client do I use with iCal server?

I will soon have os x server, and I want to use iCal server with mail. I want to schedule meetings, etc., like Exchange. However, many people have Outlook. Some have Entourage. Will these clients with with iCal for scheduling meetings and if not which client can I use? Thank you.

Which Platform are the clients?
Apple Mail does not work directly with iCal server. The Leopard version of iCal is what is used for scheduling. Mail is not like Outlook on PC or Entourage on the Mac where email, calendering and contacts are in one application. Leopard uses Mail, iCal, Address Book to provide similar functions.

Tells you all the 3rd Party client apps that work with iCal Server.

Sync 2 macbook pros / iPhone / iCal / Entourage

I can't seem to get the right settings. I have a work MacBook Pro, a Home MacBook Pro and an iPhone. The work MacBook Pro has Entourage on it. When I sync all these together I end up with duplicated iCal appointments. Like it will tell me 3 or 4 times I have the same appointment at 3 on Monday. How do I set up all the iCal, Entourage, iPhone and both macs so this duplication is eliminated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I would recommend you to use 0FI_AP_4 rather using both, particularly for many reasons -
1. DS: 0FI_AP_4 replaces DataSource 0FI_AP_3 and still uses the same extraction structure. For more details refer to the OSS note 410797.
2. You can run the 0FI_AP_4 independent of any other FI datasources like 0FI_AR_4 and 0FI_GL_4 or even 0FI_GL_14. For more details refer to the OSS note: 551044.
3. Map the 0FI_AP_4 to DSO: 0FIAP_O03 (or create a Z one as per your requirement).
4. Load the same to a InfoCube (0FIAP_C03).
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Can I use both newly cloned MBPR retina and old-MBP with same Time Machine

When my new-MBPR retina cloned from the old-MBP back up in Time Machine via migration assistance, will this newly-cloned MBPR continue thereon backing up with the same old-MBP back up in Time Machine? I.e. continuing same timeline?
And what happen to my old-MBP back up, if I continuing to use my old-MBP with the same Time Machine on? Will TM recognised 2 different MBP and thus creating 2 back ups? I seem to have problem to keep 2 MBP running with same TM. Programs not responding even force quitting them!
And what should I do to use both? Appreciate your help. Thank you.

OK, but in general I can use this one device as both file storage and Time Machine.
I thought that (for some reason) once I set up the Time Capsule to act just as Time Machine storage I would be unable to access it as a plain file storage.
I have just tested it now, and it seems it can work as both - file storage and Time Machine. I can see the Time Machine backup file on it and folders where I can dump regular files.
The only thing I would need to occasionally do is delete some old backups to keep Time Machine segment below 1 TB just so I have plenty of space for regular files.
This thing is awesome. :)

I have 2 accounts with iTunes at same address how do I use both accounts on both my iPad 1 and I pad 2

I have 2 iTunes accounts at the same address and have 2 iPads 1 and 2 and wish to use both accounts to buy apps for both iPads

On the iPad you can switch between the two accounts by logging out of one (Settings > Store and tapping the account id on the right-hand side) and then logging in with the other account so that you can then buy with that account. Only one account can be logged in at any one time, so if you are buying apps with two accounts when an app gets an update in the store you will only be able to download that update via the account that originally bought/downloaded it. With the currently logged in account you can also download past app purchases from that account via the Purchased tab at the bottom of the App Store app.
Similarly on your computer's iTunes you have can both accounts authorised (Store > Authorise This Computer), but only only can be logged in at a time for purchasing new content (Store > Sign Out then Store > Sign In)

I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5. When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different. Why doesn't it appear edited?

I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5. When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different. Why doesn't it appear edited?

People who have Photoshop, but don't have Lightroom, need ACR so that they can use Raw files. Without ACR they could do nothing with those (they may also like having ACR so that they can work on other kinds of image using the same kinds of adjustments and techniques, as are used with Raw files).
People who have Lightroom, can get access to Raw files regardless whether ACR is present or not. They can use Lightroom on other kinds of image also, using the same methods. LR can pass images directly into Photoshop without passing via ACR (or else does so transparently, which amounts to substantially the same thing).
ACR does not, strictly speaking, even need to be installed for this external editing to happen. In fact, not even PS needs to be - since a different image editor can be used instead, while still retaining the Adobe Raw conversion etc.
Lightroom "subcontracts out" specialised external tasks, in this workflow, but is still your "main contractor": the image is otherwise located, viewed, managed, adjusted/presented and output entirely using LR.
So IMO we can divide image processing into:
operations that involve pixels and layers and layer masks and adjustment layers etc (of the kind done inside Photoshop)
operations that involve parametric edits (of the kind done in ACR where you are not using a Lightroom based workflow; otherwise, done inside Lightroom)
When PS is called in, that's because those tasks are impossible or unsuitable to do in Lightroom. But those tasks can't be done in ACR either - by definition, since LR and ACR have exactly the same image processing "feature set".
Lightroom is irrelevant to the Bridge + ACR + PS workflow. This workflow requires both your PS and your ACR to be current enough, to support your Raw format etc.
ACR and Bridge are irrelevant to the LR + (image editor) workflow. It is in this case, only LR which needs to be current enough to support your Raw format etc.

Using both MDP adapter with DVI to HDMI adapter supplied by Apple

I may be missing something here but I want to be able to use both the above adapters in order to run two DVI screens on my late 2012 Mini. Because of the shape of the HDMI-DVI adapter supplier by Apple being too wide, the MDP adapter will not physically fit into the port situated next the HDMI port. This seems crazy! Does anyone have any ideas please?
Thanks in advance.

My MDP is an Apple product and the same as the link you posted.
My HDMI to DVI adapter supplied with the Mini is this one here, I believe.
http://uk.startech.com/Cables/Audio-Video/Video-Adapter/HDMI-to-DVI-D-Video-Cabl e-Adapter-M-F~HDMIDVIMF
The shape of the HDMI to DVI adapter will not allow the MDP to be inserted into the back of the Mini.

I have 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II. How do I connect? 4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI. 5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute?

I just bought a 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II. How do I connect? 4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI. 5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute any work at all? I read where on a PC they would work together, but on a MAC they do not.
I read that Display Port has higher band width than DVI, NEC monitors for best performance they recommend using DIsplay Port.
When I was setting this up I looked at a Nvidia Quadro 4000, unfortunately it was for PC, it had 2 Display Ports, in the Mac version they reduce it to one. I did not think there could be a difference.
Mainly want to use it for CS6 and LR4.
How to proceed???
I do not want to use the Quadro 4000 for both, that would not optimize both monitors, one DP and 1 DVI. Using just the 5770 would work but I do not think the 4000 would be doing anything, and the 5770 has been replaced by the 5870.more bandwidth.
Any ideas, I am a Mac newbie, have not ever tried a Mac Pro, just bought off ebay and now I have these problems.
As a last resort I could sell both and get a 5870. That would work, I'm sure of that, it's just that I wanted the better graphics card.
Thanks,
Bill

The Hatter,
I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can. From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance. The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs. Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
You said I have the 4000 for CUDA. I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it.
A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000. Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected? I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are. I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4. Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

Various problems when trying to use both my iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 at the same time? HELP!

I am experiencing a wide range of problems with both of my iPhones. They are both a 4 and a 5. I will list the problems I am having.
Using both phones:
A few weeks ago I recieved a new phone, the iPhone 5 as my contract was renewed. I backed-up my old phone, the iPhone 4 to my computer and restored it onto my 5. But when using my 5, I discovered it has 'no service' (but will use wifi), it won't send IMs OR texts and Apple constantly keeps asking me for my Apple ID which i recently changed but still uses the old email, and won't accept any passwords.
The 5 used to send IMs and texts but they would be sent to my friends through my email address, so I googled this and went to messages>send and recieve, and the only thing i can select is my email, not my number. I am using the 4 as well, purely so I can send texts and IMs through my name, not my email. The 4 also has signal and wifi, whereas the 5 only has wifi. I am wondering if the 5 has no signal and won't send IMs & texts because I am still using another phone? Surely they both cannot work together, so I was thinking I could reset my iPhone 4, and then see if the iPhone 5 will work, once the second phone isn't used anymore. If that doesn't work, I thought I could reset my 4, back-up my 5 and then restore again. I think that will work, but I have no idea.
I have absolutely had it with trying to figure it out, I have used google but nothing seems to work. I am really hoping someone can tell me what to do with all my phone problems, because they are absolutely driving me mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need to use the 5, it is costing me an extra £60 a month to use and I feel as though that money is being wasted as I can't text, IM or call people. Should i just get rid of the 4 and see what happens? I read online that to stop iMessages coming through as your email, you should turn it off and use regular texts. BUT I DO NOT WANT TO DO THIS. I send way too many texts, and it would cost a fortune. I also can't send photo messages on texts, because they cost a bomb to send through. I want to be able to use both texts and iMessages - using my name, not my email.
To add on to that huge essay I have written, on both phones Apple CONSTANTLY asks me for my Apple ID which I recently changed. I changed the email and the password, and it is coming up with the wrong email, and whatever password I put in, it still says it is wrong. It doesn't make sense, because yesterday I purchased some music from iTunes and when asked for my Apple ID, it used the right email and accepted the correct password. ...??? yet it still keeps getting it wrong, even though it worked in iTunes. ??!?
Okay so I just reset my iPhone 4, and nothing seems to have changed...I thought if I reset it, it would be completely wiped, like a brand new iPhone 4, but it's not....THIS IS SO IRRITATING! Can someone please help me! I GREATLY appreciate any answers, hopefully someone on the internet can fix my problem! thank you for taking the time to read this essay, I am very thankful. PS. Both phones are up to date.

You said, "the 4 also has signal and wifi whereas the 5 has only wifi". By "signal", I'm assuing that you mean cellular signal. If so, that means your iPhone 4 is still active on your cellular number and your iPhone 5 is not. Contact your carrier to sort out which phone is active on your account.

Is it possible to use both an ILB and an ELB (listening on the same port) in the same Azure cloud service?

I'm building a test Lync deployment on Azure; yes, I know this is not supported, hence "test".
Lync Front-End servers expose two set of web services, one for internal users and one for external ones; they listen on different ports (443 and 4443) on the same servers; when external services are published, you need a reverse proxy or a port forwarding
in order to map port 443 of a public IP address to port 4443 of the Front-End server(s). When you have multiple Front-End servers in a pool, you also need to load-balance them.
So, a typical Lync deployment looks like this:
       Internal users
               |
               443
                  |
          Internal LB
        192.168.0.20
        443         443
          |               |
   Lync FE 1     Lync FE 2
192.168.0.21 192.168.0.22
          |               |
      4443        4443
          External LB
       Public IP Address
                 |
              443
                 |
       External Users
This should be easily replicated in Azure, as it supports both external load balancing and internal load balancing. They are even supported together in the same cloud service, so this configuration should be easy. However, it looks like "should"
is the keyword here.
After creating the external load balanced endpoint (which listens on external port 443 and forwards to port 4443 on the servers), I'm trying to create an internal load balancer and add internal endpoints to is; however, while the ILB can be created successfully,
adding an internal endpoint listening on port 443 and forwarding to port 443 on the servers fails miserably, with an error stating that port 443 is already in use by another endpoint:
Update-AzureVM : BadRequest : Port 443 is already in use by one of the endpoints in this deployment. Ensure that the port numbers are unique across endpoints within a deployment.
For reference, my commands are:
Add-AzureInternalLoadBalancer -InternalLoadBalancerName "LyncILB" -ServiceName "LyncFrontEnd" -SubnetName "LabSubnet" -StaticVNetIPAddress 192.168.0.20
(This completes successfully)
Get-AzureVM LYNCFE1 | Add-AzureEndpoint -Name "Https-Int" -Protocol "tcp" -LocalPort 443 -PublicPort 443 -LBSetName "HttpsIntLB" -DefaultProbe -InternalLoadBalancerName "LyncILB"
(This fails)
The existing external endpoint is configured as such:
Get-AzureVM LYNCFE1 | get-azureendpoint
LBSetName : HttpsExtLB
LocalPort : 4443
Name : HTTPS-Ext
Port : 443
Protocol : tcp
Vip :
ProbePath :
ProbePort : 4443
ProbeProtocol : tcp
ProbeIntervalInSeconds : 15
ProbeTimeoutInSeconds : 31
EnableDirectServerReturn : False
Acl : {}
InternalLoadBalancerName :
IdleTimeoutInMinutes :
LoadBalancerDistribution :
The error doesn't even make a lot of sense; the external load balancer listens on a public IP address, while the internal load balancer listens on a private IP address in the internal network; there
shouldn't be any conflict here... however it looks like there is one instead.
Why doesn't this work? Am I doing something wrong, or is Azure networking just being silly as usual again?

Hello Massimo Pascucci,
The issue that you are facing when creating an endpoint with internal loadbalancer is the limitation of not allowing same ports to be listening under a single cloud service. This reason for this is that there is a limitation of only one private IP (Also
known as the Internal load balanced IP) per cloud service.
There is also a limitation on the Internal load balancer more than one port to be published per load balancer:
