These same scripts don't _appear_ to work as before, so I'm not sure if it's the scripts or my setup. The macosxhints bit is looking a little to complicated, and non-portable. The question is, is internet sharing over Mac-Bluetooth possible with the Pocket PC? It seems like the connection is there via Missing Sync, but only sync/filesharing/itunes capabilities are available (heh, "only"). Is this something the MarkSpace folks are working on, or is there another solution? thanks!

In-Reply-To: <20030731105348873656.GyazMail.marc@asc.gov> Message-ID: I asked this once before but with no response. So I will try again. This is crossing into two issues. One is the whole cab file thing. I have visited the handango site and have had success in installing some of their software available. But unfortunately I want to install the Microsoft Reader and I can not find the cab file for that anywhere. I used a friends PC and installed it last time and was surprised to see that it had to be activated while online. IF I can get this software back on my PPC will Missing Sync give Microsoft the ability to sniff my PPC and do what it needs to do to activate this software?

To get AvantGo operational, go to the PocketPC itself, select Tools from the bottom of the AvantGo screen, then select Modem Sync from the 'Server & Connection' options. Sorted! This software is great! I guess the only thing I need VPC for now is installation of CABs embedded in EXEs -- can live with that. The only other thing I can't get TMS to do is to recognise my 128MB SD card in iTunes. It defaults to the main memory, and so only gives me a couple of megs to play with. Any way I could get it to recognise my SD card? Jason Hughes Hi all First of all, thanks Scott ? switching off the 'enable bluetooth syncing' stopped that cpu-hogging BluetoothToTTY process dead. I've also now worked out that in order to get internet passthrough onto my iPAQ 3970, it's necessary to turn on internet sharing in OSX (System Prefs > Sharing> Internet> Share Internet Connection over Ethernet). Works a treat! Everyone here probably knows this already. I'm now just one step away from ditching the sync using VPC. The last hurdle is AvantGo. Does anyone know how to get AvantGo syncing operational? Under (VPC) Windows it's a plug-in to ActiveSync... Is it possible to do the same using the internet passthrough form TMS?

Hi Jeff, thats exactly the reason why TMS is useless for me at the moment. You cannot use a PDA knowing that the result of the next sync will be data-desaster.

This opens port 80 in your firewall. It also turn on your web server, but that doesn't really matter if nobody trys to look at the page you're hosting. 4) Then look under the "Internet" tab and start "Internet Sharing". 5) Now it's time to look on the PPC2002 end. Click on "Start --> "Settings". 6) Click on the "Connections" tab. 7*) I'm not sure if this is necessary. Try skipping it, but if it doesn't work try it.

Brian and all at Mark/Space, I understood very well that Entourage was not supported in this initial release. If I implied I was not aware of this, my bad. However, had I known that there would be an additional cost for the Entourage sync capability - when it is released - I would have waited. If the fact that there would be an additional cost was mentioned or explained herein or on the web, then I must have missed it. Again, my bad. Charging for upgrades by companies is not standard. Some small companies charge as little as $5, some larger companies charge $200. And some companies offer upgrades for free. It all depends on the people developing the software and the customer base they have. It is my hopes that any upgrade to Missing Sync for PocketPC would be less that the full cost of the software. It is, however, Mark/Space's decision, not ours to make. We get to decide whether we pay it. Thanks for the work you've done. In the few times I've used it, it works as advertised. ~~~randy~~> From plainsong at mac.com Sun Aug 3 13:17:54 2003 From: plainsong at mac.com (Kimberly Ruohio) Date: Sun Feb 8 14:59:25 2004 Subject: [missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Re: Mac firewall In-Reply-To: <200308021603.h72G35d21610@markspace.vps.fluidhosting.com> Message-ID: <5D595ED2-C593-11D7-BAFD-000393A207AA@mac.com> Thanks, that actually mostly works.

These are called "meta files" and are created by Mac OS X to hold information that Macs need, but DOS file systems do not (icon position, type and creator, etc). Mac OS X does not have a way to turn this off. We are investigating if we can prevent their creation, or auto-delete them, from Missing Sync, but that is not in the current release. -- _____________________________________________________________________ Mark/Space, Inc. voice 408-293-7299 540 N.

This is how the Mac stores the resource fork on file systems that don't support it, like DOS formatted volumes of Windows shares mounted over the network. They usually stay hidden, but not on the Pocket PC. It happens for files you put on a memory card using a card reader too. There is no way that I know of to avoid it, but if there were, it would mean the resource fork'd get screwed up, which is not a good thing as it's usually an important part of the file. Now why do Word files have one, that's beyond my understanding.

Message-ID: <7A36901C-C6B0-11D7-AB2F-000393B7D60A@mac.com> Hello - I've been following the missing-sync-pocketpc-talk list for months now, first anticipating the release and then watching the bravest of the early adopters try it out. It appears that my pocket pc (iPaq 3650) should work without a hitch & I'm strongly inclined to buy the the product. The brouhaha over a for-pay upgrade to Exchange compatibility doesn't surprise me (and I think that Mark/Space has been admirably clear from the get-go about what version would and wouldn't do), but it got me thinking: since the current version of the Missing Sync won't work with the current version of Panther, it seems like likely that the final version of Panther will also require an upgrade or a patch to the Missing Sync. As some say Panther is likely to be released late next month, if the necessary upgrade to MS will not be free, perhaps I'd be better off keeping my money in my pocket until then. I understand Mark/Space's reluctance to release patches to keep Missing Sync working with the moving target that is the Panther developer releases. Since it doesn't seem likely that the initial investment in developing the product would not be recouped without a userbase that extends into the Panther era, I'm sure that a working version will be forthcoming. Brian, Scott or anyone else from Mark/Space: can you tell us if Panther-compatible version of the Missing Sync will be a free 1.x upgrade, or a for-pay 2.x version? thanks thomas From brian_hall at markspace.com Mon Aug 4 13:45:29 2003 From: brian_hall at markspace.com (Brian Hall) Date: Sun Feb 8 14:59:26 2004 Subject: [missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] upgrade to panther-compatible version to be free or for-pay?

Many times common questions arise that would have been easily resolved by searching the list. While they are archived, with the volume of messages this list and other garner, it is difficult to wade through all the messages to find the answers. Having said that, I have a question.... My Toshiba e330 works great with TMS on my Powerbook, (10.2.6). However, after I put it too sleep, or unplug the USB cable, the ability of the software to detect the PPC once I either reconnect it/wake it up is spotty. Sometimes it will find it, more often than not, I'll reboot. Now having sync times that are consistently over 30 minutes is something I've grown to accept, rebooting twice a day or more just to sync seems like a bit too much to bear...

I believe the product is good but I also consider it to have a high bug count. But it is excellent that users are willing to use their time to help debug the product. This can only make the product better and the community better. But, there is always a but, would you accept the same level of quality from an electrical product that didn't quite do what it said on the box but if you kept caling the manufacturer they would give you tips to get it to work. Even of these tips took up a considerable amount of your own time....... I think not. Peoples acceptance of software products of questionable quality is nothing new but continues to amaze me. On the question of the Entourage upgrade. Why doesn't markspace offer a discounted upgrade (or free) to those investing time and effort in debugging the current version of the product. This would result in a higher quality product and a stronger community. Both of which are good things. just my $0.02. Douglas. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I have yet to be able to repeat this consistantly, I've tried most combinations (turn off MS, turn off BT at MAc and PocketPC, physically disconnecting BT adaptor) and it does not always happen - the only thing I did note is that it happens more when I am at home and have an active Airport connection to the internet.

Regardless of your experience: - We have seen these files created by card readers (PC Card type) - Maybe yours works around that because it is USB? - Missing Sync in no way creates those files directly. We realize they are a pain and would not have created them on purpose. The bottom line is: - We plan to address the ._ files in a future update (most likely not 1.0.1, which is about to enter a code freeze) Brian -- _____________________________________________________________________ Mark/Space, Inc. voice 408-293-7299 540 N.

Then either: - none of the files you copied had a resource forks; - some software on your particular Mac prevents it from making the ._xyz files; - the software used to make the copy (cp, rsync, ...) does not preserve resource forks; - some software or setting on your Pocket PC prevents it from displaying these .._xyz files; - the file system of your cards preserves (or makes the Mac think it does) resource forks (like HFS, HFS+) so the Mac has no need to create a separate file for the resource fork. What version of the Mac OS were you using when you copied these files? Did you install any drivers for these readers/disks? The files appearing when copying a folder are spelled .DS_Store, and they are 'real' files, completely different from the ._xyz 'pseudo' files used to store the second part (resource fork) of a single xyz file. If several people saw these files and know enough to tell why they're here, you not seeing them will not make them vanish. If you're not affected by the problem, fine, but let the others discuss it.

I know this will not work for everyone but it works for me where most (if not all) events are created on the PocketPC and those which are not are generated on a Mac.

I think I'm able (and the only one competent) to tell whether using the keychain is dangerous for me. I don't need Microsoft to tell me which passwords I can store and which ones I can't. My IT department can make recommendations for my work machine, but I'm the only master of my home Mac. If someone wants to break into my house to crack my keychain file, let him come, I don't think reading my email is worth getting acquainted with my dog's fangs. Moreover, I don't reckon anyone using computers and the Internet these days has only one password to remember. Mac login, Pocket PC, email, .Mac account... And if they use the same password everywhere, they might just as well use the Keychain. All of this to say keychain support in TMS is a good thing in my opinion. OK, the strength of TMS is to be as PC/ActiveSync-like as possible from the Pocket PC's point of view, but also as Mac-like as possible from the user's point of view.

I'd say "that these files are normal, to be accepted as some part of cross-platform computing" and yes, it's "overly complicated somehow" :-) I made a quick test. I created a DOS disk image using Disk Copy and tried to copy files to it with the 10.2.6 Finder. Then I listed the files using the Terminal, which shows all files (using ls -al). - If I copy a file without a resource fork, e.g. a TextEdit file or an MP3 from iTunes, I get no ._ file. - If I copy a file with a resource fork, e.g. a BBEdit file with a saved state, a Classic application, a screen shot taken with Command-Shift-3 or a Mac Word document, I get a ._ file. It looks like you only copied files without resources. I admit files with resources are less common than in the days of OS 9. I ahd to think twice to find some for my tests. A colleague bought an USB memory drive. To be able to share files with PC users, he formatted it as DOS. On PCs, Word files show the duplicate ._xyz. They can safely be ignored as Word Windows doesn't need them, but it's annoying to see them. In this case, we don't want the Mac to put this file. But if we copy a Classic application (or another Mac specific file that needs its resource fork) to give to another Mac user, ignoring the resource fork would render the application (or the file) useless. It's a guess the OS cannot easily make. By the way, I have yet to understand why Word files have a resource fork, as zapping it doesn't seem to have any effect.

Well, I'm using it on my home mac. To gain access to the keychain they either have to break into my house or through both the firewall in the ADSL rooter and the software firewall in OS X. If someone did that, my least worry would be that they read the contact list on my PPC. > Microsoft were sensible here not wishing for unauthorised users to > have easy to access the device, they also assummed people could at > least remember a simple password. I do remember the password, but I don't want to have to type it in every single time I connect the PPC to my home mac. The problem is that Missing Sync doesn't store the password in the keychain even though I've checked the checkbox that says 'store password in keychain'. I believe this is a problem with the Missing Sunc and Keychain, not with Microsoft being sensible or not. Tor S.

Very little help has been forthcoming from Mark-Space, so I must turn to the user community for a clue. (Mark-Space? You there?) I have attempted to register two ways, one via MSPPC itself and one via the Mark-Space registration page. Both returned the same registration codes. But upon entering the registration codes, I get the registration window again. My only suspicion is that I'm using my first name, middle initial, and last names in the PPC owner info. As it makes a difference to me, however, that I keep my PPC registration different from my dad and my son's information (no, they don't have 'em, but you never know...), the middle initial is important. Can anybody shed some light on what might be happening? Ask questions to your heart's content--I'll be happy to answer 'em.

Would it be an option to create categories in the Address Book only if they contain at least one contact, and similarly for the calendar?

I've tried old IMSafe software from SweetCocoa, and though the developer asks for payment, he still can't dedicate resources to update it...which is an entirely different conversation. Nevertheless, his app doesn't seem to want to "see" the Pocket_PC volume like a normal volume, that is, choosing folders and files works fine in his app, but actually syncing (it's based on rsync) fails. Is there a comparable app available, or will this functionality be later included with MissingSync, or is there yet something else that we can use? I remember writing an AppleScript that could do a one-way backup, but that was so long ago... thanks, jack From brian_hall at markspace.com Wed Aug 6 12:50:01 2003 From: brian_hall at markspace.com (Brian Hall) Date: Sun Feb 8 14:59:26 2004 Subject: [missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] syncing files?

I remember writing an AppleScript that could do a one-way >backup, but that was so long ago... We are currently adding an integrated backup/restore feature. That is for the whole device, and is a backup/restore, and not a per file or per folder sync, which we consider a separate feature. In the meantime, look to 3rd party apps that offer sync of files/folders between mounted devices.

If you plan to use both devices, you need a 2nd license. If you have sold/given away/no longer use the older device, you can contact sales to swap your old reg code for a new one.

Message-ID: <3F315B39.8050203@bozeman.k12.mt.us> Ok, this was very strange so I decided to post this. 1. Plugged Dell Axim into cradle. Nothing appears on Mac. On Dell, it said connecting to USB host, but MissingSync did not launch. 2. Unplugged cradle from USB port and plugged it back in. Still nothing. 3. Restarted with device plugged in. Gave login password, then saw the desktop briefly, THEN...saw MissingSync launch and then was presented with the MacOS login screen yet again! Desktop pic was gone. Eventually got logged in again and MissingSync now launched. Any suggestions?

Specifically, I've got a Dell Axim and a Sony Clie hooked up. My primary calendar program is MeetingMaker, with specific MeetingMaker conduits installed for the Palm. Those typically work without a hitch. I began using iSync and Missing Sync for PPC, and here's what I've been noticing: 1. Items entered in iCal are successfully transferred to both the Palm, Axim, and back to MeetingMaker. This I suppose should make me happy...but it means a switch from the program I typically use (and doesn't explain #2). 2. Items entered in MeetingMaker are successfully transferred to the Palm, but only rarely do MeetingMaker items appear on iCal or on the PocketPC. It's about 10% of the time that information is successfully copied in that manner. So, in a nutshell, I have seen MeetingMaker items appear on the Axim but as to why or when it will happen is a mystery. 3. I can enter an item on the Palm and it's successfully copied to iCal, the PocketPC, and MeetingMaker. So, it would seem that somewhere along the way, these MeetingMaker calendar items are not mixed in with the rest of the iSync calendar items. Every once in a while, the event will show up on my PocketPC...but more often than not, it doesn't. I am aware that the problem here may lie with the Palm/MeetingMaker conduit or iSync, and not the Missing Sync software, but I thought I would enquire to see if anyone else if having problems like these. Thanks for taking the time to offer suggestions.

The second part may be incorrect, but I do know that when I create a task in iCal and sync it, it shows up with a start date of 11/30/99 on the PPC. I am using MS v1b4. Is this a bug?
