OK, so I’ve completely wiped my MacBook Air, time to rebuild it. Here is a list of things that have to happen. Sure sounds Windows like doesn’t it 🙂 # Remote install Mac OS X. Sigh. This is going to take 4 hours over the air apparently # Try the “Time Capsule recovery”:http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_to_restore_imac_macbook_from_time_capsule_machine_backup.html which comes…

Google actually has a contact system built into Google Mail. These are used just about everywhere, but most importantly you can use Google to synchronize contacts in Mac Address Book, iPhone and maybe even the Blackberry. You unfortunately need third party tools to then take the contacts and push them to your iPhone (Nuviosync) and…
Another piece of the puzzle. We are still using an Exchange backend but it sure would be great to have an alternative that hooks into an iPhone 3G and the Mac applications (Mail, iCal, Address Book) without dreaded sync. Right now we use a hosted Exchange and then Entourage on Mac for Calendars and Contacts…
I’ve had problems with sync between Entourage and iCal and sometime i get process Sync server running wild. So how to really break the link? It isn’t documented anywhere how this kind of syncing works. Even when you tell Entourage not to sync, I still see the Sync Server running. “Austin Kinsella1”:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5793364 points out that…
Good news is that the 5.3.2 update looks like it is OK to take for the Airport Utility. Also I’m now using Entourage 2008 and Excel 2008 and that looks like most problems are fixed as well Apple – Support – Discussions – Any problem with Airport Utility 5.3.2 … Airport Utility 5.3.2 is quite…
My friend Jeff is doing a great job there. Haven’t used it in a while, but “OpenTable”:http://opentable.com now does a nice job with AJAX, it sends invites, it knows how to export reservations to Outlook VCS and also therefore iCal, but Entourage seems a little broken. Also, you can send invites to others for reservations…
This is the single biggest problem I’ve found with Entourage to iCal synchronization. Entourage sync is incredibly slow on Leopard to the calendar, but more importantly, with the iPhone hooked in, you get zillions of duplicates. The Mac Address Book has a built in deduplicator which sort of works, but is better than nothing. With…
This corresponds to what I’ve seen, you’d expect that Office 2008 being a native Intel application would be much faster than Office 2004 which is PowerPC and runs in emulation on Intel. Well, the results are a little confusing. It is faster, but not much in many things: | | Excel Open | Word Scroll…
As we struggle to get Entourage working with hosted Exchange 2003 at Applix.com, here are the problems we have and the solutions aren’t simple and aren’t documented. Fortunately, someone at Applix.com helpdesk knows what they are doing # The good news is that basic email and blackberry seem to work great. Unlike our experience with…
Hey maybe this 12.0.1 fix will help with Entourage and the sync issues we’ve been having. The readme certainly gives some hope: Description of the Office 2008 for Mac 12.0.1 Update Reliability is improved when synchronizing with a server that is running Microsoft Exchange Server. This update improves synchronization support for users of Exchange accounts…
