Why I cannot set up Lightning with offline access to my Google calendars?

When I set up a new calendar in Lightning, and I choose Google calendar, I don't have the option of 'Offline support'!
I don't have any Cache option among the properties of my calendars either.
So if I don't have internet connection, I cant even see my events in Lightning, let alone editing them.
(I am using Thunderbird portable 31.2.0 with Lightning 3.3.1 on Win 7 Pro 64bit.)
Many thanks for your help!

Thank you for your answer, Duggabe, but this is not quite the solution I am looking for. One cannot always know when they need to access the calendar data offline, and I guess no one is willing to export everything manually every time he/she makes some changes. I expect this to be automated. My factory default Android calendar lets me access and even edit my calendar data offline. Practically, a local copy of my calendar gets synced with Google, and that local copy can be edited any time. Numerous applications manage to sync local copies this way. I think this should be a high priority feature, and to be honest I expected Lightning to do it this way. Especially that there are many sites that guide you how to set up 'offline support'! Like https://www.alansitsolutions.com/blog/2014/06/26/adding-google-calendar-thunderbird/ But as I see, this feature is not available any more. If I choose to add a 'Google calendar' in the most recent version of Thunderbird, the option of 'Offline support' disappears. Which still does not offer offline editing btw, but at least you can access your existing calendar data. And if you go to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/changing-calendar-preferences you get the impression, that they are working on some 'Cache'. It is in the experimental phase yet, which is why I could not find this experimental option, probably because I am on the release channel. Anyway, I would be glad to know at least that this 'cache' option is intended to solve exactly what every Android user can already do, namely full offline access. I hope that it will appear soon in a stable release.

  • TS3274 why i cannot sync the iPad with iTunes

    Can somebody help? why i cannot sync the ipad with the itunes right after i have synced my iphone sucessfully.
    they are both with the latest vesions. the dialogue box keeps on "dong..dong...dong" all the time and is saying "itunes could not connect to this iphone. This iphone is no longer connected".

    I have no clue what "dong, dong, dong" means unless you actually referring to sounds cpming from the computer.
    Eject the iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and try again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Cannot open project file with write access...

    I have seen that this problem has been reported before but have yet to find a solution.
    I have my project file in an external hard drive.  When I plug the hard drive to another computer and want to save it I get this message:
    "Cannot open project file with write access.  The file may be locked or you don't have permission to write to this location.  Select Save As..."
    I don't want to Save As because other projects make reference to this file and also my Encore file will be messed up.
    FYI both computers use Windows 7.
    Any solutions?

    Right click on the folder in Question and select properties. Then select the security tab. Make sure you add everyone to the user list. You do that by selecting edit and then add. Type in everyone in the object section and hit ok. Then select the everyone user and checkmark the Full control. Hit Apply and it will adjust the permissions for the folder and subfolders and files.

  • Calendar will not sync with Exchange server or most Google Calendars

    Hi,
    I am writing about my wife's brand new Samsung Charge on Verizon. We managed to setup both her gmail account and her work exchange server account fine, except for the calendars:
    Her Google calendar shows up fine, but I am unable to even see any other Google calendars that she has access to (both her own secondary calendars as well as calendars that others have shared with her) in order to select them to be visible.
    Her exchange calendar says it is enabled (on the list of available calendars), but no events at all show up.
    This behavior is with the latest software updates on the Charge (2.2.1 firmware, I510.EE4 build) using its stock calendar software. I did notice that if I use Smooth Calendar, it does list all of her Google calendars under its listing of available calendars, but it still only shows data from her primary calendar. This is also true using the Touch Calendar app, which leads me to believe that there is some problem within the Google Calendar sync software that is not allowing her calendars to appear correctly.
    Thanks!

    Hello whereizben,
    I see you have posted same post in another thread.  I have already replied to that posting with a solution.  Please see the following link for my reply:

  • HT1277 why i cannot set up my exchange account into my iphone 4s.  everything that needs to input has been provided right, but error says cannot get email not connected to the srver.where seems to be the problem?pls help.btw,i have an outlook for macbook

    please help me find out the solution to the problem.
    My iphone 4S was not able to fetch mails from the server ( outgoing and incoming)
    I was trying to configure my exchange account and follow all the procedures correctly but am having trouble in sending and receiving mails as the error says " cant get mails cannot connect to the server?  where seems to be the problem?
    Have read from the support services that if you using a Pop3 account into another device which I did ( my email was configured via outlook for mac in my macbook) there might be a lock out problem and cannot get emails on the second device which is my iphone?  ( I want to set up my exchange account to my iphone so wherever and whenever i go i cant still access to my email easily. Please help.

    No one seems to be hearing what Big Q is saying.
    He can pair his iPhone to his Macbook, but cannot CONNECT. He's NOT asking for alternative solutions, like Wi Fi.
    I am able to both pair and connect my one one Macbook to my other one, but I can only pair but not connect my iPhone or iPad to either Macbook. So I have the same problem. But I can pair and connect my Macbooks to other Bluetooth devices, like my ancient Nokia cellfone, or my Bluetooth HP printer.
    It's irrelavent that I can instead use a direct USB cable or Wi Fi between my Macbooks and my iPhone/iPad - why can't I use Bluetooth? If Apple does not allow Bluetooth between it's Macbooks and other Mac devices, then why have Bluetooth at all? Does my iPhone have Bluetooth only so that I can pair and connect to my my non Apple mobile handsfree car kit, or communicate easily with the dreaded Apple enemy Samsung, or what?
    Make no mistake , I am a diehard Apple fan, but this Bluetooth non compatibility issue appears shortsighted and seemingly pointless. Why does Apple not just say why they created the non compatibility, or have a message on the Bluetooth setup programme which simply and clearly says "don't bother wasting hours of your time trying to pair and connect your iPhone to your Macbook, because we don't allow that anymore, reason being that............"?
    As a first time user of this Forum I am surprised at the intolerant and highhanded tone of some of the replies  to what is a legitimate question, that is obviously plagueing many, many other Apple users.

  • Why I cannot print a PDF with markups?

    We use Acrobat Standard 7.0.8 and cannot print a PDF document form with markups. We found a "quick fix" to print it, which was to select in the print dialogue to print Document and Markups.
    Question:
    Because we've sent the form to our clients, they several have reported this about the form. Do you know why this would happen? Is it that they are using a different version of Adobe? Or what is the problem?
    Joe

    That's the way the application works. If you think the default should be to print the markups send a feature request to Adobe, but I doubt it will happen. You just need to explain to your clients how to do it. It's quite simple.

  • Cannot set up Mail with GoDaddy Account, what am I doing wrong?I

    I searched the correct way to do this through GoDaddy, my hosting service and got these directions, which I have tried, but didn't work.
    *To Set Up Apple Mail for SMTP Relay
    1. From the Mail menu, click Preferences.
    2. In the Preferences window, click Accounts.
    3. In the Account window, click Account Information.
    4. From the Account Type list, select POP.
    5. In the Description field, type a name for the account.
    6. In the Email Address field, type your email address.
    7. In the Your Name field, type your full name.
    8. In the Incoming Mail Server field, type pop.secureserver.net.
    9. In the User Name field, type your user name (your full email address).
    10. In the Password field, type the password to your email account.
    11. In the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) field, type smtpout.secureserver.net.
    12. In the SMTP Server Options window, in the Outgoing Mail Server field, type smtpout.secureserver.net.
    13. In the Authentication field, type your password.
    14. In the Server Port field, type 80 or 3535.

    16. In the Password field, type your SMTP password.
    17. Click OK.
    Obviously, I'm connected to the internet...
    I tried doing this through POP and IMAP, there is an error message saying unable to connect. What can be done to make this work?

    the 3535 is not gonna work...the 110 will work...I have been dealing w/ godaddy.com .mac and mac support for 5 months with compatibility. It is the worst.. mac says they never heard of godaddy and godaddy had me run a trace route so then I had to deal w/ my isp for no good reason since other browsers could reach godaddy so it is not my stream.. It is the worst. These are suposed to be the easiest and most seemless systems and they cannot sync. I use firefox to get to go daddy on my macbook and it is as if I am using dial up. I am ready to just cancel .mac which is really another headache to learn..and godaddy and just move everything over to a company that can handle everything. My web business has been on hold since January. It makes no sense. I got the mac so I would not have to deal w/ the windows registry error answer.. now godaddy tells me they are built for windows.
    There is no winning at this. I have spent countless hours on phone support after spending countless hours researching the answers only for all support lines to tell me i can "go to...website for more info..." it is as bad as using windows.

  • Cannot set up pptp with Relakks

    I'm trying to use the Relakks VPN service, following the nifty tutorial at http://forum.piratpartiet.se/Topic64139-164-1.aspx
    It seems that the 'route add default $TUNFACE' line, rather than adding '0.0.0.0           0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         U     0      0        0 ppp0' to routes (I assume that's what it's supposed to do,) causes something odd to happen. Running 'route' just shows this:
    Kernel IP routing table
    Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
    After which it hangs, more or less.
    At this point I can ping stuff within my local network, but nothing outside. What's going on?

  • Why I cannot Activate my Iphone4s with DTAC simcard.

    My dad bought Iphone4s of America and send it to me. My father that I bought without a contract worth about $ 700, but when I applied in Thailand. I'm not available. I know how to use it. This phone normally.
    This is IMEI for my IPHONE - 013072007395886  and Serial No.= C8PHRA76DTD0 and ICCID = 890141042548545043
    help me Please!!!!

    Have your father look at the receipt. If it does not say unlocked, the
    iPhone is locked to a US carrier and you must contact them to get
    the iPhone unlocked before you can use it in Thailand. The price for
    an unlocked iPhone is the same as for a non-contract iPhone, but
    they are not the same item. From your description, you have a non-contract
    iPhone that is locked to a US wireless carrier.

  • Premiere Elements 4 - Cannot open project file with write access

    I have most of my video files on a network share drive.
    However, I am unable to create the "native" files on the share (and also cannot save to them.
    I must generate the new files (.prel) on a local drive (and therefore save new renditions to this location).
    Is this a problem with Premiere Elements 4.0?
    Should it just be run locally or can it be used on a network share?
    Thanks

    I do not believe you can use Premiere Elements on a network, Wayne. Especially if network is something other than an XP network.

  • Rsa securid with remote access dial-in service problem

    Hello,
    I tried to setting rsa secured with remote access dial-in service on cisco 2600 box. Everything works well except when token in new pin or next token mode. The dial-up client can not enter second passcode, do not have second pop-up window, so all authentications was fail. My dial-up client is windows 2000 or xp.
    Please suggest me too.
    Thanks,
    Nitass

    While I agree with you that the terminal window solution is more complex and less user friendly than the standard Windows DialUp window/authentication, the terminal window does provide a solution to the new pin or next token issue which the standard Windows does not.
    I work with a customer who uses RSA token to authenticate dial in users. We have found the solution to the issue you are dealing with to be either the terminal window where the user can deal with their problem or to have someone take administrative action on the RSA server to reset/resync the users token.
    So as I see it you have a choice to make: either present terminal window as an alternative setup on the user PC or when they can not login on dial up have them call the Help Desk and have someone deal with it for them. One solution is somewhat less user friendly but does allow the user to deal with their own problem, and the other solution is more user firendly and puts more load on the Network Support staff.
    I would also wonder why you have so many users in new pin and next token mode? Perhaps if you can figure how to minimize the frequency of these modes you can minimize the problem of difficulty authenticating for your users.
