I noticed that Missing Sync only transfers the contacts/Address book categories and not the iCal categories. More specifically, it applies the Address book categories to iCal. In order for things to work correctly, do I need to have a unified set of categories across iCal and Address book or is there some way of having unique categories for the contacts and for the datebook? Which is what I would prefer.

What you would need to do is have calendars for each of the categories you wanted. So that on the PPC you would be using only one set of categories and on the Mac that set of categories would be in Address Book and there would be a list of calendars with the same names in iCal. Of course then if you added a new calendar in iCal, it would create a new category on the PPC. That might be usable for some folks, not for others, but iCal doesn't support true categories. Of course, the whole point is moot 'cause Missing Sync doesn't have an option to treat calendars that way. I wish they would at least make that an optional feature. As it is, all events created on the PPC will go in one calendar, whichever you choose. Don't get me wrong, this is mostly iCal's fault, but it would be possible for Missing Sync to figure a way to support this. After all, the entire product is a fix to make something work differently than it was originally intended. Just my 2cents.

NOTE: At this time Missing Sync does NOT map the categories of handheld events with iCal calendar names. While this may change in a future release, we chose NOT to map the categories because iCal does not have a true category field and mapping the calendar name as a handheld shared category means that the Address Book, To Do and other Pocket PC apps would include the same iCal names as categories that often wouldn?t make sense (e.g. Holidays). A bigger issue is that the handheld allows you to mark multiple categories, but does NOT allow you to mark a primary category. In this case, there was not a clear choice as to which iCal calendar the event should belong to (e.g. should the same event be added to multiple iCal calendars, or just the first matching alphabetically?)

Sounds like the saving as TAR process is getting stuck on one of your files. Try to manually copy the same files from the mounted handheld to your Mac. If one of the files won't copy that might be the problem file. See if you can copy the file from your handheld to a Card. If that works try to copy the file from the Card to your Mac and send the file to support@markspace.com to see if we can duplicate the problem.

When you add categories on the handheld calendar, they are combined with the categories from the contacts calendar and there seems to be no way to separate them. These are then added to the Apple address book. So, it seems that part of what the developers are trying to avoid is already done courtesy of Bill and his Mob. Maybe there is some way to manually map the categories in the conduit. We can already select which are to be synced and what the handheld created is called. Anyway, now I know, I'll stop worrying about it and wait to see what the future brings.

(It's either a bug or a feature, your call :-) The Mac does not have categories per se. It has multiple calendars (which could be used like categories) and it has address book groups (which could be used like categories). But no categories. This is a limitation of OS X. (This appears to be deliberate, because earlier versions did have categories. Not sure why they took them away.) Anyway, given these (differing) limitations, it's not clear not to map one to the other. Personally, I'd be happy with a "working solution" in which address book groups AND calendar names were mapped to PPC categories. For example, an address book group called A might map to a category called group_A on the PPC, and a calendar called B might map to cal_B on the PPC. (Or some such naming convention.) Or we could all write to Microsoft and tell them to disengage categories from different applications, and/or to Apple to tell them to introduce the notion of categories to OS X. No bets on which one is likely to be more responsive :-) On Monday, November 3, 2003, at 03:36 PM, Paul Charlesworth wrote: > I think there is another problem with the PPC2003.

(It's either a bug or a feature, your call :-) Yep, so there is no way to avoid having a collection of strange categories in the address book. If there were some way to even manually map certain global categories to iCal calendars, that would be more than adequate for most people. Perhaps it is possible to do this in the conduit, just as we select which calendars to update and which to ignore. I should say that I have similar problems with my Palm device and MeetingMaker, so it is not unique to our combination.

From the Missing Sync for Pocket PC FAQ page: My device is not on the list of supported devices. Will it work? If the device runs Pocket PC 2002 or later, chances are it will. If not, the most likely reason is that we do not have that devices USB Vendor ID and Product ID in the software yet. You can provide us that information by running Apple System Profiler with device attached - it will show up on the USB bus list in Apple System Profiler. After you send us that information, we can add it to the list of IDs built in to the software during the next update.

Good idea! Likewise for Address Book groups, one could select which ones to map to what.

Here's what I've done: 1. Used Carbon Copy Cloner to take a copy of my working 10.2.8 system onto a new partition on another disk 2. Confirmed that the copy works with MS (Missing Sync) 3. Did a Panther Archive and Install on the 10.2.8 system 4. Booted into Panther on this new install 5. Reinstalled MS. But no success - connects and then disconnects immediately. So, tried to isolate the problem: 6. Copied the /Library folder from a working Panther/MS partition into the broken Panther. No improvement 7. Copied the /System/Library/Extensions folder from a working Panther/MS partition. Panther wouldn't launch properly, so replaced it to original. 8. Copied the ~myaccount/Library folder from a working Panther/MS partition. Again, no improvement. So, I reckon that it's now either something in the /System folder or in the low level unix OS files that is preventing MS to operate properly. Any other suggestions?

But if I choose to upgrade or archive and install, then it doesn't work. I've got a lot of stuff on my PB like postgres and OpenACS that I don't feel like reinstalling, so I'm loathed to blow my existing 10.2.8 away just yet. Hence all this stuffing around to try and figure out why MS won't work on an upgrade or archive and install. Since it looks like the PPPd stuff can't hold the connection, it does sound like it's got to do with either a USB or Network config problem...

So can't help with the issue multiple people seem to have with is. I did have the latest versions of iSync and iCal installed prior to upgrade (could this be part of the issue?). Outside of that I am seriously tempted to try, dare I say this, PocketMac again. A friend with the same configuration as me (PB G4 Ti, iPAQ 5555 and Entourage) is running PocketMac v3.2 and can sync with both Apple programs and Entourage. He is also now running Panther although PocketMac was working on 10.2.8 well, he reports he had no issues with the upgrade to Panther. Program installs from cab and exe seems to work as well, along with syncing user definable files (on top of normal doc directory sync) including to storage card. Web sync and e-mail sync appears to work as well (low priority for me but). Also you can program it to run certain applications prior to sync - not quite certain why you would need to do this but it there. So it seems MS's competition were spurred in to action by MS launch and now have a better product - note I have already tested all the issues out that have plagued MS both using my PPC and his PPC (on his PB, not brave enough to loaded on my PB yet, based on my past experience with PocketMac). It also seems much faster than MS - part of that maybe just the on screen feedback of progress that it gives, must time it next time I can get on friends' PB. Utilities are also supplied for Office file conversion but my friend has yet to test these (we both use TextMaker on PPC's). Markspace need to solve their issues and expand the program with more functionality (like PocketMac) otherwise business will move elsewhere. Note: I have been very pleased with the program and support so far but the program needs to be expanded. Only these are preventing me from making the jump at this time.

It seems to be a timeout, but the timeout is happening regardless of any activity. For example, if I have lots of syncing to do (I have three devices, the 2210, the ipod, and the Nokia 3650), TMS will just disconnect. This is the most frustrating type of disconnect because the connection was alive and data was being transferred - and this leads to a corrupted isync. Sometimes you can reconnect to TMS but sometimes the port is still in use and won't answer. This also makes browsing the net with the 2210 over bluetooth impossible. TMS is connected, I'm on the couch browsing some sites with the 2210, the connection is alive, and boom, TMS just disconnects and I can't reconnect. Very annoying. I'm running the dreaded 10.2.8 and can't really upgrade to Panther until there's some official support for it. Any ideas why bluetooth is timing out? Is there any way to fix this? :( Kimberly Ruohio From pcharles at chartermi.net Mon Nov 10 08:43:56 2003 From: pcharles at chartermi.net (Paul Charlesworth) Date: Sun Feb 8 14:59:33 2004 Subject: [missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Another bluetooth question In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: How far are you from the base station and what other electronics are in the room?

Maybe if a few more of us try PocketMac v3 they'll fix the issues - currently I'm running both Missing Sync and PocketMac v3 (dual booting to prevent clashes) and PocketMac v3 is impressive (after I tried with a friends Mac and copy I took the PocketMac risk again) - does all the things Missing Sync initially promised - I'll stick with Missing Sync for a while but it needs to measure up to its promise or the switch could be occur. The PocketMac Entourage plug-in is sweet - no issues other than needing to start from clean PPC (did not try clean Mac, might work). Everything is transfered including categories and no apparent recurring issues other then the same ones I've seen on Windows (exceptions). PS: I've tried both HP2215, HP5555 and an old HP3975 with no major issues yet.

I've been a huge MarkSpace fan with my Clie's in the past, but I was having too much trouble with MSPPC to continue. One other thing to note is that PocketMac does treat iCal calendars as categories, which works great if you want to set up to utilize that. It does, however, create address book categories with the names of your calendars. That may be a problem for some. For me, it's no biggie cause I treat my address book as one giant rolodex and don't mess with categories. peace, Craig On Nov 11, 2003, at 8:10 PM, TDefriez@cs.com wrote: > Hi Kim > > Your another regular on this list who has tried to help Missing Sync > along. > Maybe if a few more of us try PocketMac v3 they'll fix the issues - > currently > I'm running both Missing Sync and PocketMac v3 (dual booting to prevent > clashes) and PocketMac v3 is impressive (after I tried with a friends > Mac and copy I > took the PocketMac risk again) - does all the things Missing Sync > initially > promised - I'll stick with Missing Sync for a while but it needs to > measure up > to its promise or the switch could be occur.

Since Panther 10.3.1 was posted yesterday, it would be interesting to see if upgrading to 10.3.1 clears it up. We do have an engineer looking into it and will report back when we have further news or a beta to try. So far, we have not been able to reproduce this on our own machines, which makes it harder to track down.

My last frustrated message was sent out after experiencing the problem following the reboot required after the update. I have a feeling something in my log would tell me what was going on, but since I have no program that doesn't choke on a 445 meg file (with non-unix text breaks, no less), I couldn't read it. Even Emacs wouldn't open it. I'll check my log next time it happens.

There was a mixup with the 1.0 press release where we mentioned bluetooth, but it wasn't in 1.0. We added that for 1.0.1 a month after the 1.0 release. We have always been up-front that we do not yet support Entourage, and that if Entourage support is a requirement, this product is not *yet* for you. (We can not state a date at this time, but we have been/already are working on it). We have a software engineer working on the reported Bluetooth and "I upgraded to Panther" issues. It should be noted that while these issues seem to be very vocal on this discussion list, the number of people that have reported the problem is very small (<1%). I realize this is little consolation if you are one of those people whom are effected, but I also want to put it into perspective. We tested with Panther on a variety of machines before Panther was released and at release, and did not see these issues ourselves. The hardest part of being able to address an issue is being able to reproduce it on our own systems (unless you happen to be local to one of our engineers and we can check out your system in person). While we (mark/space employees) don't respond to every message on this list, we do read all of them and take your feedback and comments into account. Related to that... The best way to get a bug logged in our database and have an engineer assigned to it is to send a complete report to support@markspace.com Brian -- _____________________________________________________________________ Mark/Space, Inc. voice 408-293-7299 540 N.

I had to delete via the terminal. I'll try the tail command next time (I couldn't for the life of me remember what that command was, thanks.) Now for the racket on this list about the whole "I'm switching to PM3, yada yada", I've got both PM3 and Missing Sync. I've used both quite a bit (not at the same time and not even on the same Panther installation. I did a format and clean install just to be sure things weren't going to get screwy) and PM3 has it's own issues. It's a good program for what it does, but I don't like the way it does it. For example, it adds a line to /etc/tty (something NO user process should do) that WILL KILL your ability to login if you're not careful. If you delete the program without uninstalling it, you'll have to either be a wannabe UNIX guru or pray you know one to solve the problem. I spent the better part of an hour trying to pinpoint the problem while SSH'ed into my computer and finally had to resort to a perl script to recursively grep search every file on my hard drive to find the messed up line. That was not fun. I'll take manually killing some rogue processes every now and then over that anyday. Both programs are good for Mac users. To be sure, there is some work that needs to be done but have ya seen ActiveSync on a PC? It's not much better.

I have also had problems with the product, but the problems are connected to issues that Mark/Space could not have foreseen. First of all, when I had first experienced problems with my Dell Axim failing to connect, it carried similar problems that others have reported. In my case the problem turned out to be that when my computer was set to dhcp, the system would do a reverse name lookup and come up with a different name then my actual machine. This confused Missing Sync, because 1 minute it would use my machine name and the other, it would use the dhcp assigned name, I believe, causing the connection to fail. By setting my machine to a non-dhcp number, this cured the problem, but I can see that I'm not alone. If Mark/Space can resolve this issue, this will probably resolve these other issues. Just a suggestion, Craig.

Any future ones will be more constructive. You can ban me from this list but that will solve nothing and only make me more vocal elsewhere. Please do not rest on your laurels - you were the best program choice at one point but competition has a habit of spurring on all vendors. Vocal people are the ones that get problems fixed - if we did not speak up then you'd assume the garden was full of roses. Its not just the Panther issue - this is the latest of many 'minor' issues. Credit due those that can be reproduced are fixed relatively quickly. I am beginning to be reminded of the original SW I tried with no end of 'small issues'. This is just a plug in program to help me use my selected PDA - it is not a key application and anything that impacts my key application usage is a real pain. Also early on I spent much of my own time 'testing' the SW for you. I also have learnt (adopting the program early) to work around those I know and those I cannot reproduce. I will only post a bug if I can reproduce it myself and therefore speed a solution - one reason I have not posted any recently - those which I have seen I cannot reproduce (sometime not certain if iCal or MS related) have been reported on this list by others with the same data set I have. While I understand no dates where promised on Entourage, it was inferred that this would come (based on the competition at the time and a need I brought MS early and have lived with iCal since, not my first SW choice and a waste of a large part of Office X capability). It now seems far off (or no one will commit to a date so I assume it is), which would not be an issue if the functionality with iCal was more compatible with me - I also know this is not totally a Missing Sync issue but it has restricted the way I use my PCP. The other vendor has seem to fix some of the most of the issues, no doubt due to your competition. Old habits die hard and having used PCP since the early days I often find myself recovering backups due to MS and iCal 'failures'. I also note (having used it for a while on a Sony PDA) that you use another program not iCal for Palms synching.
