Are any of these contacts marked as companies in Address Book on the Mac, yet don't have anything in the company field? If you can send to support or to beta@markspac.com some sample data for us to try and duplicate the problem in house, that would be helpful. You can export that group as a vCard or make a backup from the File menu in Address Book.

Can you send us a particular example or set of examples that you are seeing? We try hard to make sure things are localized properly, but sometimes things slip through.

I didn't - until I installed that crap of PocketMac. Now I have two "PocketMac" calenders. Both gone, problem gone. Thanks! Holly crap.

The calendar sync is better, but still not right. Firstly I just let the PDA and Mac sync without clearing down the PDA first. As both the Mac and the PDA had almost the same appointments, both generated from the old version of Missing Sync, it seemed fairly straightforward. At first glance this appeared to work OK, certainly from the PDA end, however when I went into iCal I found that every single appointment in iCal had been moved into my default calendar, from all of the different calendars I had used. After this I rolled back iCal to my backup, and moved on to try rebuilding the calendar from scratch on the PDA by resetting the relationship using the MSSync Utility. Basically I've been unable to get a clean rebuild using this method at all, consistently the rebuild fails with a 'Bad Record' error. I've deleted these as they came up until it produced the error on a record in a subscribed calendar, at which point I'm stuck. 10/3/05 22:58:12 MSUI: iCal: setStatusString string=Writing Events record 352 to device 10/3/05 22:58:12 MSUI: iCal: Error writing record for event "CW Martyrs of Uganda, 1886 and 1978" starting 20050603T000000. 10/3/05 22:58:12 MSUI: iCal: RAPI error: 32 last error: 1 10/3/05 22:58:13 MSUI: iCal: setStatusString string=Cleaning up 10/3/05 22:58:15 MSUI: iCal: ISyncSessionCancelledException Session cancelled.

Call support. The above is the most recent failure - all the rest fail with exactly the same series of errors, just a different event. There seems to be nothing in common between the particular records that fail. What is particularly annoying is that once it gets one of these Missing Sync just pulls the plug, and doesn't move on. It is worth bearing in mind that all of the events that fail have previously been transferred from Mac to PDA using Missing Sync V1, aside from having taken the calendars from MacOS 10.3.9 to 10.4 I haven't done anything to the events that are failing.

I think I had the same problem. When I had a look through my iCal there were multiple appointments for certain events (and I mean lots) at different times - like one hour ahead or previous. I have 'the use timezone' set in my iCal (London/Europe). Some of these seemed to come from .Mac? Anyway, I turned of .Mac sync for iCal and Address. I then got rid of all the duplicates in iCal and on the PDA ( a laborious process at best,) and it now syncs without error. Well at least for the time being. I've had this before but didn't make the possible connection with .Mac Sync. In any event I will try it without for the time being a see how it goes. it could be a red herring though :) Incidentally I've also had spurious addresses appearing in my address book (e.g. not mine) when I've been using .Mac Sync??? It might also be an idea to have the option to only sync the past four weeks of appointments and all future appointment aka MS ActiveSync? Also the sync of files via the mounted folder is both slow (USB 1.0 I guess) and fails on anything over about 0.5MB. Either to card or to memory. I have a call logged for this I wonder if this will help jog your memory. Russ On 3 Oct 2005, at 23:26, Richard Peat wrote: > I've given Beta 5 a pretty good run round tonight.

I have in the past turned on timezone support back when I initially set up the PDA with Missing Sync V1 - but I had a similar experience as you with events going all over the place, so rolled back and kept it turned off since then. Certainly, the option to sync only a limited subset of my calendars would be helpful, as I'm not really keen on having to throw away large amounts of historic stuff in iCal that is useful for tracking what I was doing when, just to get the PDA to cope. I have had a support call open with Markspace over a similar problem with hitting a calendar item, and failing, which got as far as Markspace suggesting that my iCal database was corrupt. However It is worth noting that, whilst the calendar app might not be as complicated, normal iSync quite happily syncs up my diary with my mobile phone (a SE K750i), including the records that Missing Sync is throwing up as being bad.

So yes, this is an obvious desired feature, but the information we need to offer this option is not yet public with Tiger/Sync Services. If you note, the first time you connect and sync a device the "Sync Alert" asks if you want to overwrite the device with the Mac data, but no other options are offered. This is a limitation of the available options in this dialog. We are hoping Apple will explain to third party developers how to add other options to this dialog. We are looking in how to present the choices within the iCal and Address Book Plugin to then allow the Mac to overwrite the device, or the device overwrite the Mac.

When Syncing, the dates coming back from the PDA (Dell Axim X30 in this case) are changed to the same date each month as the first event in the series (i.e. 15th). It appears that there is no option in the Windows calendar to repeat an event on a set day (i.e. 3rd Wednesday). MissingSync needs to not override the Mac iCal series setting during a sync.

Not sure what you mean by not having a Bluetooth Manager? The Bluetooth Manager on my device often will not open. I have to do a soft reset of the device to get the Bluetooth Manager. I don't think this has anything to do with the Missing Sync, but it makes connecting or pairing a pain. > > then i just tried to pair the device and pairing works...but thats > all. no sync, nothing. Did you initiate the pairing from the Mac or the device. For some reason it is best to initiate the pairing from the phone using the Connection Wizard in the Bluetooth Manager. There is a specific "ActiveSync via Bleutooth" wizard. Smartphone's don't have the same type of wizard but you can initiate the pairing from Start > Settings > Bluetooth. Some Smartphones also have a "Setup BT ActiveSync" option in the ActiveSync menu. The tips for clearing up any remaining Bluetooth connection problems are: - Disable any firewalls, or open ports 5678 and 5679. - If the device has both WiFi and Bluetooth, disable WiFi when trying to Bleutooth sync. - In the Bluetooth preferences on the Mac, select the sharing tab, then select "Bluetooth-PDA-Sync" and try switching the type from "Modem to RS-232." - Make sure you have Bluetooth enabled in the Missing Sync preferences - If your Mac is not currently connected to the Internet, try connecting to the Internet and then connect via Bluetooth.

I have had problems getting Bluetooth sync to work and found (during the last problem time) that the Mac BT Preferences had lost the entry Bluetooth-PDA-Sync. I cleared the device from the preferences and removed the Mac<->Device pairing then re-paired. Once I got the Bluetooth-PDA-Sync back in the Preferences->Sharing tab, MS could see the device fine. The other BT functions worked OK. The problem arose right after installing Beta 5.

Thanks Ken. Repairing permissions had no effect, but reinstalling changed made this particular error go away. Of course, I still can't sync iCal with my pda.

Usually such records are corrupt and may not even display in iCal or Entourage, but are still part of the data and used to cause Missing Sync to fail. There were also fixes for improved synchronization of detached events. A detached event is created when you have a series (e.g. Meeting every Friday) and then you edit or delete just one occurrence. Under certain circumstances, detached events and/or their parent event would cause a sync error. The "Release Notes" posted at www.markspace.com/testing list all the changes. I recommend all users upgrade to either the 2.0.2b6 or wait for the the final 2.0.2.

I assume you want to prevent the "Sync Reminder" dialog for this device. The next time you get that dialog, notice the check box in the bottom left of the dialog that will prevent the reminder for that specific device. Check that, and that specific device reminder will never show again. > i also gave my new device a new name and want to delete the data that > is still there for the old name... The new device name should now be displaying when you are connected. There is no other "data" for the old device that you need/want to delete. If you want to prevent the Sync Reminder that was covered above.

I have the same problem - my iPaq was unused for some weeks, and went blank. I renamed it, and now i sometimes get a dialogue asking if I want to use the old name (which is erased) or the new one. Yesterday I accidentally chose the old name and now I don't dare sync the iPaq - not knowing what will happen to my data. So: I want the oppotunity to get an interface to manage the previously used iPaqs and have the possibility to delete them. -- morten dreier http://morten.dreier.no/ From sstrippoli at mac.com Thu Oct 13 06:37:10 2005 From: sstrippoli at mac.com (s.strippoli) Date: Thu Oct 13 06:37:13 2005 Subject: [missing-sync-winmobile-talk] Re: Birthdays & Anniversary Syncing with Entourage SP2 Update Message-ID: <8043554.1129210630712.JavaMail.sstrippoli@mac.com> On Tuesday, October 11, 2005, at 07:46PM, Ken Freeman wrote: >NOTE ABOUT MICROSOFT ENTOURAGE SP2 UPDATE: Birthdays and Anniversaries will >NOT sync correctly with the latest SP2 Entourage update.

The only data we sync with and is stored on the Mac is the Sync Service (iCal and Address Book) or Entourage data. We do make a backup of the Entourage data that you could delete if you want. It is at ~/Library/Application Support/Missing Sync for Windows Mobile/Entourage Data. Other than that, there is no data for an old device to delete (at that was a backup of what was in Entourage, not what was on the device). > i also want to be able to use the > name of my old device again... You can reuse a device name again. If you do attempt to connect a new or hard reset device with the same name you will get a dialog that allows you to pick a new name or previously used name. > if i kill the reminder for a device called Qtek8010 and i want to use > this device-name later, will the reminder come back? Good question? I'm not sure. I'll have to try that. > isn't there any possibility to delete old data? For PIM data (contacts, events, tasks, etc.) there is no need. We sync with either Sync Services or Entourage, and I don't think you want to delete that data. If you are talking about device name data, there is a plist with the device names. We would rather not have most users poking around in the plist file, but you can remove old device names from the plist if you really wanted to. Hopefully I've answered your questions.

Even the Escalated Support techs, were not aware of nor had heard of the SDK bugs you referenced previously (prior to SP2).

Let me also note once again, when the MS techs point out that Entourage data is able to sync with some devices using other conduits. It leaves me standing there feeling awkward, foolish and at a loss to respond. At the risk of having you feeling frustrated by my persistent comments, I just have to openly & frankly share with you what it is like from the consumer's experience; having paid for software in good faith and then being directed back & forth with no one really owning the problem, and so .... it ends up being the consumer's problem by default. sabino . . . .

I don't have a Problem ID to reference. Our communication has been via email. The easiest way to verify the bug is to sync with SP1 and the birthday's will sync. Then upgrade to SP2 and the birthdays will sync incorrectly. All with the same version of the Missing Sync. It could be true that birthdays sync with some other sync products because they don't use the Entourage SDK. One solution we are looking at is to use AppleScripts to get the real birthday information to avoid the SDK bug. I do not know if we will be successful yet in this effort, or how soon we might know.

I just realized that I do not enter birthdays on the contact cards themselves. I just set up recurring events on the calendar just like any other appointment. I did this because it's easier to transfer between programs and syncs more reliably between different programs and devices. Often times, using "custom" fields on contacts is more trouble than it's worth when you're trying to be as compatible and as complete as possible when syncing amongst multiple programs, devices, and platforms. Just FYI, if my solution will work for anyone else in light of this bug. -T On 10/13/2005 11:32 PM, "Ken Freeman" wrote: > Your questions are legitimate. I don't have a Problem ID to reference.
