Comment on iPhone and Exchange – push and DNS by Geoff

Geoff — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 05:30:28 +0000

I am having a problem getting new contacts to push to my iPhone. When I setup my email it loads contacts, mail items, and calendar items perfectly. The Exchange Server also pushes calendar events and email over perfectly….. HOWEVER, it will not push NEW contacts over to my iPhone. ie: If I add a contact in Outlook, it does not push the contact to my iPhone. It DOES add the contact to my Exchange Server though. What is even more interesting, is that if I add a contact in my iPhone, it WILL add that same contact into my Outlook. If I add my contacts through the Webmail Exchange Server, it will add the contact to both Outlook and my iphone.

How can I configure this properly so that when I add new contacts in Outlook it pushes it to my iPhone?

One last thing, is that I am also not able to access my Global Address Book from my iPhone that sits within my Outlook. The option on my iPhone appears under the “Groups” in my “Contacts” but when I click on it there aren’t any names that appear. Any suggestions?

Comment on Cold calling (from the callee’s perspective) by Ace

Lela: yeah, I’m going to mail you some boring literature so you can either 1) throw it away or 2) lose it. Secondly, I’m not going to go into a diatribe about how businesses and sales were/are built on cold calling. Most services that people are dropping in or calling you about are intangible benefits that will help business owners(your boss)improve efficiency, decrease expenses, and increase revenues. Frankly, most of the time you are not aware of how said services will help you without sales people educating you…therefore, your request for info to be sent and then “I’ll call you when I need it” is invalid because you don’t have the internal resources to know you need it.

Comment on Review – Smugmug by bophil

Summary:
Smugmug is the best online sharing photo tool I ever used.
Beside the fact that it stores your photos in full size and that it offers really unlimited storage, it can be upgraded with tons of community tools (upload from right click, …).
It starts at 39.95$/year for non professional accounts, but even at 39.95 it is really unlimited storage.
Living 6000km from my family, smugmug is a must have to share moments in pictures, also as a part time professional photographer smugmug has been very useful sharing and promoting my work.

You can even use this coupon on the smugmug coupon field in the sign up form to get 5$ off the price : 7Ppmk1PbRiBVQ

Strengths:
- Full size pictures
- Really unlimited storage
- Great themes
- Easy to use
- Nice interface
- Community creating addons (upload from right click, screensavers…)

Weaknesses:
- It is not a photo backup tool as you cannot bulk restore photos from galleries, you have to order DVDs from smugmug.

Comment on Mounting problems with the BMW 7 Series by Truyen Dang

Europeans vehicle are most unreliable,if you want reliable car stick with the Japanese….stay away from Toyota for a while they will come back. Ford Taurus would be good one to consider. Stay away from the europeans, you can not find part for it and not too many mechanic shop know how to work on them…

Will, having looked at the Photoswarm about page, aren’t you a co-owner of Photoswarm? If so it would only be polite to add a disclaimer about that before publically praising your own company as if you are a happy customer.

Greg,

What you have done in creating Newsgator is simply amazing! Over the years of working with you (mostly while I was at TEK) was a blast! You are an inspiration and really thrilled that we have become friends over the years. I know everyone is going to miss you. I will buy us a round on the course soon to celebrate. Just tell me when and where. And yes, this can be near your hood.

Wish you all the best.
Vaughn
