A. This is because it is still trying to export to a non-iCloud calendar. The solution is simple.
- In iCal, DELETE your BidX calendar.
- In iCal, do a File->New Calendar->iCloud and name it “BidX”.
- Your export to iCal ability should be restored with iCloud syncing.
Q. “Nil Object Exception Trapped”. Now What???
A. This is due to 1 of 3 things. Here they are and how to fix them.
- It is time to change your pilot.fedex.com password. Log on via your web browser, change your password as requested and then put the new password into BidX Pro Preferences.
- Your E-Grid has changed. Enter the new E-Grid into BidX Pro Preferences.
- Your VIPS Password has changed (sort of the same as #1). Just enter the new password into BidX Pro Preferences.
Q. How do I get BidX to work with the new E-Grid???
A. Steps for using E-Grid with BidX
- Download BidX 2.1.5. When you first run BidX, you will be required to enter in a BidX password.
- Launch BidX.
- If this is your first time using BidX, you'll need to enter in your BidX serial # at this point. If you are a previous user of BidX you MIGHT be told your serial # has expired. That may not be the case. It could be BidX "forgot" your serial #. Sorry about the trouble. Re-enter your serial # (or have BidX get it via the "Get S/N" button next to the Employee ID field).
- Go to preferences. Enter your VIPS password (if needed), your seat/aircraft preferences and then hit the E-Grid button to enter your E-Grid.
- Enter your E-Grid in the window that appears. Then enter the serial # and change the expiration date to the expiration date indicated on your E-Grid "card". The serial # you put in here is the same as your E-Grid serial number (not your BidX serial #).
- You should now be ready to use BidX with E-Grid support. If you have any troubles, email me at paul@bidx.org.
Q. What is the BidX password, and how is it different from my VIPS password?
A. Here's the deal on the BidX password. It is meant to offer security for your E-Grid and VIPS password. With the latest version, it will only ask for it if you want to edit your E-Grid. Your BidX password is WHATEVER you make it. So, the first time it asks, just put whatever you want in the "New Password" and "Confirm Password" boxes. If you want to leave both blank, then do that. If you want to make it match your VIPS password, you can do that too. Make sure you have version 2.1.4 when working with the E-Grid!!!!
