Messages/iChat Not working after upgrading to High Sierra (Jabber)

Messages/Google Chat Not working:

If you want to continue to use Google Talk via Messages, you'll need to re-enable the "less secure" authentication mechanism in your Google account.

• Go to https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
• Select "Turn on"
• Cringe a little bit
• Log into Google Talk via Messages

Go to system settings and go to Internet Accounts and delete your google account.

Open Terminal

find ~/Library/Preferences -name "*iChat*" -delete

then

rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Messages

then

rm -rf ~/Library/Messages

and reboot

Now open Messages and add your google account via Jabber. Then go to preferences in Messages and go to Accounts and go to server settings and make sure settings are as follows:

Server: talk.google.com

Port: 5223

Check Use SSL

Then go to Account Information and Enable this account

I rebooted again and then opened Messages and made sure my buddy list was there.

Then I went to System Preferences and go to Internet Accounts and add your google account.

Upon doing this a message popped up for me asking to Add Google Talk to Messages and WHOA it is working.

I can now send and receive messages, have my calendar and everything as before.

Before this I could receive messages and see buddies but couldn't communicate with them.

Locked Office/IP Phone

If a locked icon is showing on an office phone or IP phone...

1.  hold down the star button (*) for 5 seconds until the screen changes. 
2. When prompted for a passcode, do not put anything in.
3.  Just hit the ok button (menu button). 
4. The phone should unlock. 

• If it does not unlock, when it asks for a password, enter: 123 then hit ok.

***one of these instructions locks the phone and the other unlocks the phone.

Grad Rate Calculation/Prediction

Here is my process (just FYI for you and a reference for me for next year!)

1. I ran a report for kids with a Date Entered 9th grade of 08/16/2013 to get a preliminary cohort number. (Ad Hoc titled Date Entered 9th GRAD RATE PREDICTOR)

2. I filtered on the list for withdrawal codes and totaled those per code. 

3. Change to the next year in IC and run the same report.  

4. Filter entry codes (other than C: Continuing in Same School) to get the number of students who transferred in that year. 

5. I filtered on the list for withdrawal codes and totaled those per code. 

6. Repeat steps 3-5 for junior and senior years.

7. Search GUIDE for claims for any kids listed as Dropouts and have Annette check folders for records requests. Remove any found from the denominator (or add a transfer code to the totals for the Excel calculation sheet).

8. Use those totals to fill in the DOE calculation sheet. (I also figured this by hand at a separate time and got the same number).

9. Check for No Shows in each year remembering that some kids are retained (so you can't just use cohort years).



**ALSO- I also used a Duplicate Enrollment GRAD RATE to get a list of kids who had multiple enrollments in a year (including no shows).  I ran it for each year keeping a list of names with duplicates. I then used the ad hocs listed above to add and remove enrollments to make a master list. Make sure to cross-reference with the duplicate names list.

Finally, I took this list and went kid by kid to determine end status.
