Change full name to first letter and add a "."

I have a list of about 500 names in two separate columns, that a) I need to change the full name into the abbreviation with a period and b) need to merge these two columns.
What I have:
Last Name
First Name
Doe
John
What I need:
Name
Doe, J.
Help is greatly appreciated!

Assuming Last name is in column A and First Name is in Column B AND "Name" is in column C:
C1=A1&", "&LEFT(B1, 1)&"."
If you have many names in columns A and B select cell C1, then copy
now select column C, paste

Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages? I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way". I HATE this!

Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages? I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to. But NO! Pages keeps changing the font size! I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size! I am getting SO FRUSTRATED! I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter! Can anyone help?

The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

Mail won't let me change Full Name

Just updated to Mtn Lion and made the full migration from MobileMe to iCloud. In the process, the "full name" on some of my Mail accts changed. Tried to change them in Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information, but the Full Name field is grey and won't allow me to change it. Any insight on how to change my Full Name (which is my sender name) for this email acct is apreciated. (Is it linked to my AppleID?)

I had the same problem. Here's a link to an article that gives you the instructions to change it. It fixed the problem for me. http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57509815-263/how-to-change-your-icloud-mail -full-name/

Change full name

I changed my full name for all my active email accounts to a different last name. Now, when I select a new message, it automatically uses my old full name and current .mac address. And, in the drop down menu, a new section has been added to the end of the list, which is my old full name and .mac email address. This is the selection that is automatically chosen when a new message is created.
I've changed the name on .mac, Mail, and Addressbook. Why did it add that extra email address and why won't it make the change?

I would then reset your Mail preferences.
quit Mail and move the file homedirectory/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist to desktop. when You start Mail you'll have to go through account setup process for all your existing accounts. Make sure you enter the info exactly as it is now. once you set up the accounts they should recognize the existing mailboxes stored in homedirectory/Library/Mail.

Changing Full Name

I am trying to change the "Full Name" under Users and Groups. When I type in my actual full name, it says "Name is used by another User. So I had to enter another name that I do not want to use.
FYI, In the left column, the only user is the one I described above and Guest User which says OFF. How can I change "Full Name " to what I want it to be?
Thanks!

When I type in my actual full name, it says "Name is used by another User. That means that your name already exists on the system (probably from a previous installation)
Back up all data. You must be sure that you can restore everything.
You can use the utility "dscl" (directory services command line utility) to make modifications to the system directory, including finding out that your chosen name is already in the system and " used by another User.". With this utility, first confirm that the directory contains the entry for the "another User" that has the account username you want to use, by running the following in the Terminal:
sudo dscl . list /Users
With this command entered, the utility will ask you for your password, and then will output a list of all the users on the system.
You will see a number of them with underscores before their names; ignore these, as they are system accounts for running various services.
At the end of the list you will see the local usernames listed, so confirm that the home name you noted earlier is present before moving to the next step.
With the account name confirmed, now you can remove the s account directory entry from your system by running the following command in the Terminal:
sudo dscl . delete /Users/ACCOUNT
In this command, replace the word "ACCOUNT" with the account name you found and confirmed in the previous Step .
After the account is removed, the user's home folder will still be on the disk in the /Macintosh HD/Users directory. You can use the directory as the home folder. Doing this will refresh the account on the system, which may fix the account if errors were just in the directory entry for it and not in the account's home folder itself. To re-create the account and use the existing home folder, leave the folder on disk, and then go to the Accounts System Preferences and create a new account. Use the same name as the previous account (it should be the same name as the home folder), and when you do this the system will detect that a folder with this name exists on the system. It will ask you if you would like to use the existing home folder, and if you do so then all the previous account setting and data will be associated with the new account.

How do i prevent the system from keeping what u type - username, sites, etc. on search box, i just type the first letter and it comes up immediately; even my username!

When I go to a search box, i type in the first letter and the whole word comes up.
I type in the first letter of the username and the whole word comes up.
I just type anything and the next time i log, it remembers the whole word.
Please take this out of my system. I do not want it to work this way. I want all memory to be gone.

I'm starting to come to this conclusion myself, actually... though, how mom managed to do this on accident without mucking about in terminals or anything more than just a cursory knowledge of the OS X system configurations (behind the scenes), I don't know : |
... on the other hand, her and I tend to be the exceptions to a lot of rules : |
I downloaded and installed TinkerTool, even though it supposedly doesn't work past 10.5.8, in the hoopes that, what it displayed (regardless of what it could change) would be correct as far as my "System" and "System (Headlines)" font settings were (see attached screenshot of the font section of TinkerTool for my system--not mom's).
I've instructed her to install and run the utility (but not to change anything) and then send me a screenshot of the "Fonts" section so I can compare it to my own. If there's something different on her system, since TinkerTool should work on hers, we may be able to fix it that way... though it would, frustratingly enough, remain a mystery to all concerned as to how she managed to stumble upon this in the first place : |
Anyway, I'm still hard at work on it... hopefully others are too and will share what they discover (if anything).

How to resolve unresolved column error when we change column name in BMM Layer and removed alias in presentation layer

Looks like the presentation column got Alias before your BMM changes, so in your case renaming logical column and deleting alias is not good to go.

DECLARE @Char           CHAR(1)
DECLARE @PrevChar       CHAR(1)
DECLARE @OutputString   VARCHAR(255)
SET @OutputString = LOWER(@InputString)
SET @Index = 1
WHILE @Index <= LEN(@InputString)

    SET @Char     = SUBSTRING(@InputString, @Index, 1)
    SET @PrevChar = CASE WHEN @Index = 1 THEN ' '
                       ELSE SUBSTRING(@InputString, @Index - 1,
1)
                    END
    IF @PrevChar IN (' ', ';', ':', '!', '?', ',', '.', '_', '-', '/', '&', '''', '(')
    BEGIN
        IF @PrevChar != '''' OR UPPER(@Char) != 'S'
            SET @OutputString = STUFF(@OutputString, @Index, 1, UPPER(@Char))

I followed the directions for changing the name of my iPad and it did so in iTunes but the old name remains on the actual iPad. How can I change the name on the iPad itself?

I followed the directions posted in questions/answers for changing the name of my iPad and it changed the name in iTunes but not on the actual iPad. How can I change the name on the iPad too?

On your iPad, go to settings, general, about and click on name then change it.
I did it on my iPad with iOS 5, i dont know if it works on iOS 4.3.2

Eva:
Yes, updated to firmware version 1.28. That was the 1st thing I did.
Then I authorized my iRiver. ADE had been installed way before I got
iRiver. It has a couple library books there. I hoped to read them on
iRiver. After I read this thread and another one at
http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1832825, I used
CtrlShiftE and CtrlShiftD to de-authorize both my computer and the
device. Then authorized both and had to download books again, deleted
previously copied books from iRiver and copied fresh copies. No luck.
Don't know what to do next. Emailed iRiver.

Changing Full Name in System Preferences... Any issues?

Hey all,
Recently set up a new Mac on Mountain Lion. I initially set up my full name as my first name, and it based my short name on that. I'd like to change my full name in System Preferences to my first and last name. Will I run into any issues? I know messing with short names / home folder names can get messy and i assume this will be fine, but I figured I'd check.
Thanks.

Thank you.

Trying to change Title of my Podcast (Channel) And Add picture

I am trying to figure out how to change the name of my Podcast, Channel, not episodes. And I am at a loss! Also, how do you add a picture for your podcast? If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it!
Mike

The title of a podcast is carried in the 'title' tags in the top section of the feed (between the 'channel' tag and the first 'item' tag'.
The podcast image is carried in the 'itunes:image' tag in the same area, which should take the format:
<itunes:image href="URL OF AN IMAGE FOR THE PODCAST" />
The URL must be absolute (i.e. include http:// and the server name).
The images which appear when subscribing have to be embedded in the actual media files - see here.
This page may help by giving you some general details about podcasting and a sample feed:

Change "Full Name" in iCloud Email Preferences

I must have entered a wrong "Full Name" in my iCloud email preferences in the beginning and would like to change that. Unfortunately it always tells me: "The “Incoming Mail Server” field cannot be empty". How can I access that field? I've tried it, but it would not let me.

If you created a new iCloud account it would have a new associated iCloud email account. You wouldn't be able to move your current @icloud.com address to the new account.
Just to double-check, after quitting (Command-Q) and re-opening Mail, did you start an new message and click the down-arrow next to From to see if the new sender name was available from the drop-down list (see image below)? If so, you might try signing out of iCloud entirely. To do this, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then sign back in and test Mail again. (This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud. Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)
