Why not use the MS works calendar?

I'm a little confused as to why I can sync my contacts with MS Works, but I cant sync my calendar with MS Works. I understand the iphone doesnt support this, but why? Life would have been so much simpler if I had both my contacts and calendar staring me in the face through one program. I only have outlook express on my computer, and that does not have a calendar to go along with it. If I have to purchase a program to be able to sync both contacts and calendar, which do you suggest? Is outlook my only choice? I'm a recent college grad who just entered the professional world and more then 50% of my work deals with meeting clients. The calendar feature is a biggy for me. So what do you folks suggest.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

You don't have many options.
You must get Outlook - especially if a calendar feature is a biggy for you. With Outlook, you have access to email accounts, address book contacts and calendar events with a single application and is probably what 90% of Windows users use in an enterprise/business environment.
Syncing contacts or calendars to your iPhone requires that the latest version of iTunes is installed.
*Contacts must be stored in one of the following compatible contact managers:*
Outlook Express (Windows XP only)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista only)
Outlook 2003
Outlook 2007
Yahoo!
*Calendars must be stored in one of the following compatible calendar applications:*
Outlook 2003
Outlook 2007

  • Managed Property in Refinement - why not use the automatically-created site column managed property

    Hi,
    I read that although SharePoint 2013 automatically creates managed property for site column (OWS_Q_TEXT_COLUMNNAME) - in the refinement i should use a managed property and map to the ows_columnname. why?
    what's the difefrence?
    what is best - to create a new managed property (and set it as refinable) or use the OOB Refinementstring0, Refinementstring1 etc.)?

    You are probably talking about this blog post.

    The reason you want to use the ows_columnname crawled property is because it is of the correct data type. The other is always text. If the site column is a date or a decimal then using the OWS_Q_TEXT... crawled property,will cause the refiner not to display
    the appropriate control, for example a slider control for a date type refiner.

  • Why Has Adobe Removed The Option For Individuals To Purchase Software And Not Use The Cloud?

    As an individual who has been using Adobe products for about 25 years for my personal use and not as a business, I find the new policy of "renting" the software and using "The Cloud" for, at least in my case, a prohibitive monthly fee, to be totally unacceptable and will result in my no longer being able to afford using Adobe products.   I do not understand why Adobe cannot offer their new cloud program for individuals and companies that may wish to use the new system and have the resources to pay in perpertuity, but they should also have the option for those of us who would rather purchase upgrades for whatever programs we use and keep them on our computer without "The Cloud" service.
    I am 67 years old and living on a fixed income.  I basically use four adobe programs... Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, and Audition as I do volunteer work at a local non-profit radio and tv organization.  If I were to "rent" those individually it would cost $80 per month... so I could take the next deal and get access to all software for $50 per month... I cannot afford either of those.  If I could upgrade one or more of the  programs every two or three years... keeping them on my computer and not using "The Cloud," then continuing to use the products would be doable.  However, being forced into a program that requires a monthly fee and use of "The Cloud" which I do not need to use, seems totally unfair.   I certainly understand that there are  businesses and individuals who will love the new program, but why not have the option?  Or perhaps a "Senior" discount as you do for educators and students?
    Something to think about.  It seems Adobe may be moving to the "Cable Television" model of monthly fees that will go no where but up.

    Hey there, you may have heard that Adobe is continuing to sell and support CS6 for customers who prefer traditional licensing.  It's last year's version instead of the latest-and-greatest CC release, but it's something to consider if that's important to you.
    As far as a "senior discount" on Adobe software, there has never been one – but one thing to consider is becoming a student or teacher because there is no age restriction on that, in which case you may become eligible for education discounts.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can I not use the channel name, which is obtained from the function of DAQmx Task, as the input of the channel name for the function of Get Channel Information of DAQ?

    Why can I not use the channel name, which is obtained from the function of DAQmx Task, as the input of the channel name for the function of Get Channel Information of DAQ?

    Not a lot of details here, but my guess is this isn't working for you because you are wiring in the task to the Active Channels Property and not the actual Channel Name. I have attatched a screenshot of what I believe you are trying to do. The Task has 2 channels in it, so I need to index off one of the channels and wire it into the active channels input of the Channel Property node. Then I can read information about that channel

  • I am using the big date calendar template and when I submit it to apple for printing I lose the name of two months. These names are not text boxes. I see the names when I send it in but something happens during the transmission to apple. It was suggested

    I am using the big date calendar template in iPhoto. I am on Lion 10.7.2, macbook air. The names of the months are on each calendar page but something happens when I send the data to Apple. The names are part of the template. They are not text boxes. I lose two names on the calendar after it is sent to Apple. Apple suggested I make a pdf file of my calendar before sending it in and check to make sure every name shows. I did this with a calendar I just sent in. The calendar was correct. All names of the months were showing. After sending the data two month names disappeard because when it arrived by mail, it was incorrect. Apple looked at my calendar via a pdf file and it was incorrect.  This is second time this has happened. I called Apple and they had me delete several folders in the Library folder, some preferences and do a complete reinstall of iPhoto.  I have not yet remade the defective calendar. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
    kathy

    Control-click on the background of the view all pages window and select "Preview Calendar" from the contextual menu.
    You can also save the pdf as a file to compare to the printed calendar.  If the two names are visible in the pdf file then the printed copy should show them.  Contact Apple for a refund.  Apple Print Products - Apple Store (U.S.)

  • I have a jetpack, and when I try to "connect" to my ipad or phone, it keeps telling me I am not using the correct password.  I have tried everything.  I even changed the password, nothing is working.  Both are 4G, my ipad is an Air and my phone is a Iphon

    I have a jetpack, and when I try to "connect" to my ipad or phone, it keeps telling me I am not using the correct password.  I have tried everything.  I even changed the password, nothing is working.  Both are 4G, my ipad is an Air and my phone is a Iphone 5.  I can get connected to other wifi on these features but not with my jetpack.  Please help, I need to use this feature soon.  Thank you so much

    Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information.  Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection.  Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
    Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect.

  • Working with documents via BEx Analyzer not using the portal

    Hello,
    i read that we are able to create (work) with documents (comments) via
    BEx Analyzer. When i want to add a comment how it is described in the
    help we get connected to the portal. We dont want to use the portal for
    that. Therefore we searched a way to skip the portal. We read that in
    BW Versions before 7.0 the portal was not connected but since 7.0 we
    have the portal connectivity, but it should also possible to not use
    the portal and to access directly the BI Server. I searched for the
    Customizing to do so but i could not find it where to switch to the old
    logic.
    And another question is when we use the Portal with the knowledge base . The documents are stored in the document framework (SKWF). Is it the same as the Datawarehousing Workbench --> documents. This storage we want to use.
    Can anyone give me a hint?
    Kind regards,
    Murat

    Hi Murat,
       We are also facing the same issue of when trying to create/access the documents from BEx analyzer it is connecting portal , we need to bypass portal and directly access the document browser in BW server.
      In your thread you mentioned it is done. So can you please let me know how did you enable the old configuration?. It will be very much helpful to us.
    Awaiting for your reply.
    Thanks,

  • Why is this query not using the index?

    check out this query:-
    SELECT CUST_PO_NUMBER, HEADER_ID, ORDER_TYPE, PO_DATE
    FROM TABLE1
    WHERE STATUS = 'N'
    and here's the explain plan:-
    1     
    2     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    3     | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)|
    4     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    5     | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 2735K| 140M| 81036 (2)|
    6     |* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| TABLE1 | 2735K| 140M| 81036 (2)|
    7     -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    8     
    9     Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
    10     ---------------------------------------------------
    11     
    12     1 - filter("STATUS"='N')
    There is already an index on this column, as is shown below:-
         INDEX_NAME INDEX_TYPE     UNIQUENESS     TABLE_NAME     COLUMN_NAME     COLUMN_POSITION
    1     TABLE1_IDX2 NORMAL     NONUNIQUE     TABLE1      STATUS     1
    2     TABLE1_IDX NORMAL     NONUNIQUE     TABLE1     HEADER_ID     1
    So why is this query not using the index on the 'STATUS' Column?
    I've already tried using optimizer hints and regathering the stats on the table, but the execution plan still remains the same, i.e. it still uses a FTS.
    I have tried this command also:-
    exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('GECS','GEPS_CS_SALES_ORDER_HEADER',method_opt=>'for all indexed columns size auto',cascade=>true,degree=>4);
    inspite of this, the query is still using a full table scan.
    The table has around 55 Lakh records, across 60 columns. And because of the FTS, the query is taking a long time to execute. How do i make it use the index?
    Please help.

    If the cardinality is really as skewed as that, you may want to look at putting a histogram on the column (sounds like it would be in order, and that you don't have one).
    create table skewed_a_lot
    as
       select
          case when mod(level, 1000) = 0 then 'N' else 'Y' end as Flag,
          level as col1
       from dual connect by level <= 1000000;
    create index skewed_a_lot_i01 on skewed_a_lot (flag);
    exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user, 'SKEWED_A_LOT', cascade => true, method_opt => 'for all indexed columns size auto');Is an example.

  • Why is Oracle not using the index??

    Hi,
    I have a table called 'arc_errors' which has an index on 'member_number' as follows:- Create/Recreate indexes
    create index DWO.DW_ARC_CERRORS_MNO on DWO.DW_ARC_CERRORS (MEMBER_NUMBER);
    But surpisingly, when I execute the following query, it does not use the index.
    SELECT member_number,
    COUNT(*) error_count
    FROM arc_errors a
    WHERE member_number = 68534152 AND
    ( tx_type = 'SDIC' AND
    error_number IN (4, 7, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 705) )
    OR
    ( tx_type = 'AUTH' AND
    error_number IN (100, 104, 107, 111, 116) )
    OR
    ( tx_type = 'BHO' AND
    error_number IN (708,710) )
    OR
    ( tx_type = 'XLGN' AND
    ( error_number BETWEEN 102 AND 105 OR
    error_number BETWEEN 107 AND 120 OR

    OR
    ( tx_type = 'HYBR' AND
    error_number IN (303, 304) )
    GROUP BY member_number;
    This is what 'explain plan' tell me
    SELECT STATEMENT, GOAL = RULE               237907     502923     15087690     
    SORT GROUP BY               237907     502923     15087690

    TABLE ACCESS FULL     DWO     DW_ARC_CERRORS     237209     502923     15087690     
    Can someone tell me why a 'table acess full' is required here?
    Thanks in advance,

    Sorry, I just found the solution myself. I need to put an extra pair of braces around the set of conditions seperated by OR.

  • Why does it not use the index?

    L.S.,
    We are using a table called IT_RFC_REGISTRATION. It is a relatively big table for our application.
    Its primary key is RFCNR, each new RFCNR getting the next value.
    Now for my intranet report I am interested in the last 40 records. But when I execute:
    SELECT *
    FROM IT_RFC_REGISTRATION
    ORDER BY RFCNR DESC
    the query takes ages to execute.
    When I do this:
    SELECT RFCNR
    FROM IT_RFC_REGISTRATION
    ORDER BY RFCNR DESC
    the result comes instantaneous because this query uses the index on RFCNR.
    Why does the former query not use the index to execute? It should be much faster to fetch ROWIDs from the index end to start and use those to get the records, than to load all the records and then sort them.
    Is there a trick with which I can use a join of the latter query and the former query to speed up the result?
    Greetings,
    Philbert de Zwart,
    Utrecht, The Netherlands.

    The difference you see in query run time is based on the amount data being sorted, then returned. In the first query, a full table scan is faster since if the index was used, Oracle would have to do a lookup in the index, get the rowid's and go look up the data in the table (TWO disk i/o's). It's faster to just scan the entire table.
    Indexes will generally not be used unless you have a where clause. If you only need a few fields from the table, you could include them all in an index. For instance, if you only need RFCNR & DESC create a concatenated index on those two columns and then only a scan of the index is required (very fast).

Maybe you are looking for
