Q: Invitee autocomplete shows incorrect name

When one of my users try to type in someones name, a completely diffrent list from the letters typed. For example, when he tpyes "T", the list starts with the V's. None of my other users are having the same problem. It appears to be something isolated to him. I have tried removing the iCal and AddressBook cache from his library folder.

 

He is running 10.6 and is connected to 10.6 server with iCal and AddressBook server running.

 

Any help.

 

Thanks,

    Hi msels

     

    Good News!

     

    We have a solution, but it takes some time

     

    First of all: save everything. We had saved every file wich is listet up by mistersquid. We also recommend to a backup!!!

    Important! Export also local calendars. In our case we had 2 local calendars together of a size of 1.45 GB - Make sure you save every cache-file. The best way is to copy the listet folders in an external device and save them.

     

    Then deactivate all delegates.

    Deactivate your local or network accounts in cal.app, then delete them.

    Delete also the local calendars.

    Close Cal.app

    Remove all the listet folders and files from their dir (delete them or move them to another folder) listet up by mistersquid (folders or files wich are not in your dir you can skip, in our case it was the ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.corerecents.recentsd/Data/Library/Recents/Recent s-wal).

    After removing, start Cal.app. Calendar will crash or you need to force quit it. Then wait a few seconds and restart Cal.app again.

     

    The Calendar has now created all his missing files again. Now you can start import you calendars (.ics-Files) and also configure your network or cloud-accounts. Then activate all your delegates. Make sure you work slow. Then close your cal.app after finishing all your settings and open it again.

     

    Then try to invite a person or try to invite the false person (address). You see, it didn't come

     

    Hope this workflow helps you out of your misery. Let me know if it has worked.
