How to connect Microsoft Live Writer to write blogs on IBM Connections 4.5? - ibm-connections

Using this description from IBM Connections 4.5, I try to get Microsoft Live Writer (from the Windows Essentials 2012 package) to connect to Connections 4.5. My Connections blog does have the BlogClient API setting activated, but I can't seem to get my settings right.
As my blog URL I use the full URL to the connection blog at the format
https://<connections url>/blogs/0f787572-d8f8-4932-9e82-2ce047b1a9b7
Then I enter my username and password, and click Next. I choose "Metaweblog API" as my blogtype and use the following as the URL:
https://<connections url>/blogs/services/xmlrpc
When I click next, I only get an instant answer that my username or password is wrong. Does anybody see any errors in the specification above?

Instagram: unable to create client in Manage Clients

The problem is that in Manage Clients at https://www.instagram.com/developer/clients/manage/ client was created,
but it became invalid, the id did not work, i.e. instagram disabled it, the inscription was disabled.
We decided to delete the old client and create a new One, but instagram does not register it. The line of consent and the captcha does not issue. Respectively writes 2 errors:
1.Incorrect Captcha. Try again.
2.Error sending: fill in all required fields.
How can this be corrected?
I've had this same issue, and haven't been able to get anywhere with it. The support page for Instagram says to report a bug using the "Report Bug" button on the Developer Dashboard (http://instagram.com/developer/clients/manage/). If you click that button it takes you to a form that asks if you want to report a bug for the old API or new API. If you select the old API it says "we're not taking bug reports for the old API", if you select new API it takes you to Facebook's developer support page. I created a ticket there, and they told me I had to report it through Instagram's support links. WTF?? That's what I did .....
Anyways, the problem is related to a bunch of javascript errors on that client registration page. I first encountered this problem about 3-4 weeks ago, and it's still around. Feels like IG really doesn't give a crap about their developer community ....

Instagram Media Search Comes Back with No Results

When I run the following url to access Instagram media search:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/search?lat=37.775&lng=-122.4183333&access_token=MyAccessToken
I get the response below from Instagram:
{"meta":{"code":200},"data":[]}
Don't know why I am not getting the detailed media search results back. This url is similar to the example provided in the Instagram/Developer webpage: https://www.instagram.com/developer/endpoints/media/
First question would be, are you running your app in Sandbox mode or Live mode?
If you are running in Sandbox mode and you registered your app after November 17th, then you most likely only have permission to fetch data from users that accepted your invitation to Sandbox. Therefore, you wont be able to get public content even if you specified public_content scope.
Take a look at official documentation page in the top corner you will find the announcement .

Code Rally Login Error

I am getting an error saying I am not logged in to the server when attempting to submit my vehicle to the http://challenge-na.coderallycloud.com contest server. When I bring up the server list it shows that I am Online and logged in using my userid.
When I test the connection it is successful.
Unable to submit vehicle (after 10-15 minutes)
Unable to enter ChrisHanksCarOne on NA Contest Service
You need to login to the server before continuing to race. In the Code Rally Developer View choose the server list, right-click on the server and click login.
Sounds like the OAuth login hasn't worked properly, and the Eclipse plugin hasn't detected that. To fix log out from the server and login again (you can do this from the servers window or through the bottom of the enter race window). You should be asked to authenticate with Google, Facebook or Twitter - use the account you registered with on InfoQ and it should work (if not let me know and I can look into it further).

Facebook login API Error Code: 191

I am getting this error:
API Error Code: 191
API Error Description: The specified URL is not owned by the application
Error Message: Invalid redirect_uri: Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.
When browsing to this page.
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?response_type=code&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000%2Fusers%2Fauth%2Ffacebook%2Fcallback&scope=email%2Cuser_about_me&client_id=clientid&type=web_server
I ofcourse googled around and found this topic:
Facebook API error 191
It says that add your page URL to facebook. I have been going through all tabs in facebook under my created App and there is no input box for page URL.
I also see that this answer is from early 2012 and possibly outdated, how should it be done in 2013?
If you go to "http://developers.facebook.com" you should be able to login, click on "Apps" at the top. From there you can click on "Edit Settings" for the app that you are testing (or creating). I took a screen shot of what that looks like:
My guess is there is an error in the field "App Domains", or in the "Site URL" field. You will want to make sure that your url and domain(s) are correct. Hopefully this helps or at least sets you on the right track.
One more suggestion - it looks like you are testing using "localhost". If you are developing on a windows system you can improve the quality of your tests by editing the hosts file and registering your actual host name. OSX or other operating systems have similar mechanisms for registering a host name. Once you have done this you can bind IIS or Apache to that host by creating a new site (or using the virtual hosts option). After that you should be able to type in a more real looking host name which makes the Facebook authentication work that much better. Best of luck!

Accessing Gmail, Calendar and Contacts using Exchange ActiveSync

This maybe very noob and unworthy of stackoverflow.com, but nonetheless here goes:
I'm trying to write a custom application that syncs my Google data (emails, calendar and contacts) to the desktop (I know that there are several tools that let you do that, but curiosity only killed the cat!!).
I know that m.google.com is the sync sever I need to use. I've gone through [MS-ASHTTP].pdf, and got all the protocol information down.
Now, using either the cURL command-line or a tool (in Windows) such as Fiddler (http://www.fiddler2.com/), I'm unable to make valid ActiveSync requests to m.google.com. Moreover the URI /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync doesn't exist on m.google.com, and searching Google turned up nothing for me. Need help!!!
Connecting to Google using ActiveSync should work (I have an Android app - Corporate Addressbook that does that successfully)
Use the following URL
https://m.google.com/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync?User=xyz#gmail.com&DeviceId=1234512345&DeviceType=Android&Cmd=xxxxx
Edit the email address and the command you are sending. Also you will need to send the auth string in the header
I have a blog post that should help.
