<b>Automator script for folder structure in right click menu.</b></h2>
<div>
I had a client that works with graphics and requires an easy way to create a folder standard folder structure. This ensures that all client jobs are the same structure. This task can easily be used to create a folder structure with files and resources.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To create this script I used Automator, open Automator and start a new workflow. </div>

From here the possibilities are endless, but we want to create folders. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the left pane, under Library select Utilities. Inside utilities double click on 'Run Shell Script'. This is how we will be creating the folder structure. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We will be using simple commands to make the structure as we desire. The commands we will be using are 'cd' and 'mkdir'. These two commands will allow us to accomplish everything we need. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Note* one of the tricky parts of this script is getting it to run in the correct folder. To accomplish this we will set the variable for the current folder and then move to it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">#Set current directury as current path and move to it</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">current_path=$(dirname "$1")</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">cd "$current_path"</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that we have the script running in the correct folder we can start to make our structure. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this example, I will be using generic folder names, Folder#. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">#create first upper lvl folder</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">mkdir Folder1</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the initial folder created we can build in that folder.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">#Folders inside the first folder</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">mkdir Folder1/Folder2</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">mkdir Folder1/Folder3</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is the basis of how this script works, create a folder and then create more inside it. If we need more folders in the structure we can add folders into it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">#create Folders inside the second folder</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">mkdir Folder1/Folder2/Folder4</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">mkdir Folder1/Folder2/Folder5</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">mkdir Folder1/Folder2/Folder6</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only rule here is you have to create the upper-level folders before you can put the lower-level folders inside. When you put it all together it should look something like this, but the folders should be named properly. </div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Mac Calendar. I recently had a client switch to exchange, much better service right?<br />
<br />
There are always problems with switching...<br />
<br />
We had a fairly straightforward switch, using GoDaddy 365 services. Exported the Calendars from the iCloud accounts and Importing them into the Exchange account.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
First small(ish) issue was that Exchange cannot handle some of the events that are repeating forever. The client was very understanding and was ok with recreating these events. There were also other events information for the events that were not specified and was unable to be imported.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
These two problems on their own could cause a significant headache for someone migrating to Exchange with old or large calendars. However, I had the luxury of not having to worry about it... This time.<br />
<br />
Now to the heart of the issue you are here for. Shared calendars and delegates.<br />
<br />
After I had migrated the calendar events and ignored the warning messages I moved on to sharing the calendars and settings up delegates.<br />
<br />
When typing the name of the delegate the field would not auto-populate with the email address from the domain. It was showing random names of people I knew or other clients... This was puzzling.<br />
I thought this was very weird but wondered where and why these names were popping up. I know they couldn't be on the client's exchange server/domain so I was very confused.<br />

I think though maybe it was pulling names from my contacts app. I typed in a few names of people I went to college with and sure enough they showed up. The other odd thing is I could select them as a delegate but they would have no permissions. So I added the delegates to the Contacts app.<br />

<br />
This worked! After adding the desired delegate to the contacts app on my local machine they appeared in the delegation section on iCal, which is supposed to look at the Exchange server, and not only did they show up, they were given proper permissions for accessing the shared calendars!<br />

<br />
<br />
That's it, That's the entire solution. All that's left to do is check the box to Show. Just had to add them to the local machines contacts...... Of course, there was a bit of setting up the shared calendars in the back end but if you made it this far I don't think that was your problem.<br />
<br />
I hope I was able to help you solve any issues you were having with delegation setup. Please leave a comment!<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Problem:<span style="font-weight: normal;"> Like a lot of you, I ran into this issue at the worst time possible. I had applied an update to the Office Suite to fix an Excel issue and broke Outlook... My client then tells me she is leaving out of town tomorrow and needs this machine to be working with all her emails accessible by the morning. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">No problem, I set up the account again in a new profile and were good, right? No. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">"Where are all the folders that were On My Mac!??" she says with a panic in her voice. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">I create another new profile and import the one that won't upgrade. The import process goes well and emails and accounts show up but still no "On My Mac" folders recovered. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Time Machine! I knew time machine would work! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Enter time machine and restore the profile from last week. Set it as default and try to open; No luck. "Outlook Can't upgrade your database". Back to square one. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I finally came across a small post on SpiceWorks with someone who actually fixed the issue by forcing outlook to rebuild the database, I will show you how to do this today.</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: small;">Solution:<span style="font-weight: normal;"> The fix is unfortunately quite simple. Go to where the mail database is stored, </span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">~/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/Outlook/Outlook 15 Profiles/Main Profile/Data (on mac) and delete or simply move the "Outlook.sqllite" </span><span style="font-size: small;">file. Always have backups first. </span></span></h2>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
Now, assuming you have not changed your default profile, simply open outlook and you should be prompted that there is a problem and outlook needs to rebuild. If you did change your profile, change it back to 'Main Profile'.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This can take a while, mine took ~1hr. After it was done outlook launched and asked to download a bunch of fonts. After downloading, all the accounts and emails were recovered and the "on my mac" section had all the emails and folders the user had setup.<br />
<br />
This fix worked for me, I hope it can work for some of you!</div>

Cannot add or change bookmarks in Firefox</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are having the problem of firefox not allowing you to add a bookmark, try the following steps they worked for me. I tried the steps laid out by Mozilla located <a href="https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Fix-slowness-crashing-error/Can-t-add-change-or-save-bookmarks-How-to-fix/ta-p/2173">Here</a> , with little success.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am using FF Version 51.0, here is what I did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Locate the users Preferences (HD/Users/<i>UserName</i>/Library/Preferences) folder and open it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Inside that folder will be .plist files that need to be deleted. Delete any .plist file with mozilla or firefox in the name. These will be recreated when the application opens next.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Open Application support folder (HD/Users/<i>UserName</i>/Library/Application Support). In here will be a folder for Mozilla or Firefox, there may even be a folder for each. Delete the folder(s). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Launch firefox again, go through the initial setup and see all the problems go away. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
**Note: This will erase all settings and content in firefox. bookmarks, passwords, history, etc...</div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Time Machine is the built-in backup feature of your Mac. It backs up changed files every hour, which is great. But there may be situations when you need to turn it off from time to time. Maybe you support a Graphics company who makes changes to lots of files every hour and backing them up every hour is not practical. </span></div>
