Ims default addresses(of friends) changed to facebook contact info

Contact info of fb friends has changed im destination from the persons phone number to their fb address. Im is sent, but not to the phone number.

Could your friend dictate the email address into some other program, copy it from there, and paste it into the contact? Long way around, but it might get you there.

My fiancé had her ex boyfriend recommended to her in Game Center (friends) where does recommended friends come from ; Facebook, contacts, or previous gaming with him?

My fiancé had her ex boy friend in her recommendations from Game Center where does recommendations come from ; Facebook, contacts, or past gaming?

That's a good thought that could explain some cases, but not mine: these people definitely don't know my email address, and I'm not in their Address Book. (Some of these are people I might meet on a hike, say, and nod to in passing on other hikes once a or twice a year, and that's the extent of the "relationship"--no contact info ever exchanged. We don't even know what cities each other are from.)
we don't even know each others' email addresses, and even if we did, my Apple ID email is not one I use for actual emailing purposes. Nor do we know each others' phone numbers, nor gaming nicknames; often not even last names.
I should correct my first post: I said I "do now know well"... that should be "do NOT know well".

Can I sync Address Book and iCal to put contact info into iCal?

I use Address Book as a contact/customer list and use iCal to prepare my schedule for work. I usually type in the name of the customer I want to see in iCal. Is there anyway to import or drag names out of Address Book into iCal so the location & contact info will be included? I don't want to invite the customer. I just want to input the info into iCal so I don't have retype a name that is already in my Address Book.
If I have customer "xxx" in Adress Book and I am planning on visiting this customer tomorrow. Is there anyway for me to transfer/import this info to iCal without physically typing "xxx"? When I look at my appointment I would love to see the contact info for "xxx" in iCal when I click on individual appointments.
I hope this makes sense.

Hi,
You can link to the Address Book entry with a URL. See my script +Link to Address Book+ on this page http://www.nhoj.co.uk/applescripts/ which creates a link from the currently selected person in Address Book. These can then be added to the URL field in iCal or the notes field if you have more than one per event.
Best wishes

How to open documents by default with Pages 4 ( "Change All", "Open With" info option)?

Hello I installed Pages 5, which I don't like.
So I would like to open all my documents by default with Pages 4. However, I can't get the system to fix this default. In the "Info" panel of the Finder, under "Open With", I can set Pages 4 as a default app for one single document, but when I ask to "Change All" documents and use Pages 4, the system refuses to use the setting I select, and keeps reverting to Pages 5. Any suggestion, short of uninstalling Pages 5? Although I don't like it, I need to use it sporadically, so I don't want to uninstall it.
Thanks.

As far as I know, there is not any built-in way to do this. Perhaps an add-on can modify how the "star" works or add a new button for this function?
Until then, you'll have to continue changing the pop-up list:
* when bookmarking a page, double-click the star, and change "Unsorted Bookmarks" to "Bookmarks Toolbar" and then click Done
* when bookmarking a page, press Ctrl+d or right-click the page > click the star on the context menu, and change "Bookmarks Menu" to "Bookmarks Toolbar" and then click Done
Some users like to drag the padlock or globe from the left end of the address bar to the Bookmarks Toolbar, but if you always want the new bookmark added at the end, then this is not efficient.

Address Book- Lost a ton of contact info during "MERGE"

Trying to “Bluetooth” contacts to my new phone and struggling a bit. Tried a few options with no luck, so I highlighted all contacts then clicked “MERGE CARDS”. This put all phone numbers under the “Apple Computer” contact, (I think it was the top of the list alphabetically), and wiped out all other information from my one hundred plus contacts. I then went to “EDIT” and clicked “UNDO MERGE”, and now the pinwheel has been spinning for about 4 days. I really need to recover my contacts and could use a little help. Anybody?
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Do you have a bootable backup of your hard drive, complete with all your current contacts? If not, you may be out of luck. Regardless, you need to Force Quit Address Book; it will not stop on it's own anymore, and you're probably in a kernel panic.
After you've done that, run Disk Utility to Repair Permissions, then insert your Mac OS X disc, restart your Mac and boot from that install disc. At the first screen, select your language, then choose Utilities > Disk Utility and use it to Repair Disk. When that's done, restart your Mac and boot from the hard drive.
Back in the finder, open Terminal and enter this command:
defaults write com.apple.AddressBook ABShowDebugMenu -bool true
Press Enter or Return, then quit Terminal.
Open Address Book, go to the Debug menu on the far right on it's menu bar and assuming your contacts are not there, choose "Revert From MetaData" and see if it will restore your contacts. If not, then your only chance of getting them back is probably from a backup you should have, or entering them all over again.
That's the sad truth, which is just one reason why you should always have a bootable backup of your hard drive at all times, and make a backup of your Address Book using the File > Back up Address Book… command whenever you make any change to your address book.

Problem: software changes my Outlook contact info when synchronizing (cuts off part of first name)

When I sync, the BB software cuts off part of the first name of my Outlook contacts. The problem seems to happen when I have a space in the first name (eg: First Name - Bill & Jane). I have several of my contacts listed that way so I can see spouses of contacts easily. I have never had this problem before with my other MS Op phone. Thanks for your help.
Message Edited by friedchicken on 01-05-2009 01:23 AM

I found out what happens.
Wherever the First Name filed on the BB contains a Blank (or Space) character, when synchronizing to MS Outlook, the content of the field is divided in two parts: the first part, before the Blank, is transferred to the Outlook First Name field, the second part, after the Blank, is transferred to the Outlook Middle Name field.
This goes beyond the useser's intentions and is a nuisance, becuase you can of course turn around the problem after synchronization, by exporting the MS Outlook contacts to MS Access, or MS Excel, put the two fields together, and reimport them into MS Outlook. But you need to do that each time yoy synchronize.
It would be nice if RIM could fix the issue.

My facebook profile photo shows up on an email to a friend who has a yahoo email address, but is not my Facebook friend. All my FB privacy settings are at the max. Is this a Yahoo privacy issue? I don't want my photo to go to other than FB friends.

I recently sent an email to a friend, who is NOT a Facebook friend, who has a yahoo email account, and my Facebook profile picture appeared next to the email. My privacy settings on FB only allow FB friends to see my photo. Why is another yahoo account that is not a FB friend seeing my profile photo and is there a Yahoo privacy setting that will eliminate this from happening? Thank you.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== this week

Did you check that your Facebook settings haven't changed?
Facebook may have changed them as part of a software update.
Is there a link in that email (signature) with a link to that picture?

Why can't I change the addresses of friends by changing them in my address book?

In my address book, I changed a friend's E-mail address, but the old address remains in the drop down box where I select the person I am E-mailing. Why doesn't the list when I select 'to" come from my address book?

Is this about Thunderbird or about an internet based email service?
For Firefox you can use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
#click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
#highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key<br>do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
#press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry

Any way to change the default address on icloud?

I have an old yahoo account I didn't ever log into so I lost access to it. I can't seem to change my icloud default address without verifying the email--which, in circular fashion, can't be verified because I lost access to it.
To preface this--I have tried to recover the yahoo account, but it won't let me retrieve password because it says the account isn't known, so asks "are you trying to register this address?" but, when I try to do that, it tells me the ID is taken. Yahoo is to blame, really for this circular craziness.
So, I'm trying to use my more often-used gmail account (which I do have access to)
Every time i try to set up my icloud, it wants to verify my old yahoo address.
Halp!
I've changed the address everhwere in my phone and ipad...it's still defaulting to the old yahoo account address...can anyone help me? Where do i tell it to see my new email address so I can set up my icloud?
Many thannks!!!

If you want to change your email address, then you can change your Apple ID from your old address to your new address by following the steps in this article. (You should receive a verification email in your inbox of your new email address.)
Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs cannot be renamed.

Changing the default address for Iphone Notes?

No matter how hard I search, I can find no way of changing the default address from my gmail to my Outlook addresses.
Can someone advise, please?

Accessing 'Library' is a little like 'killing a cat' in that there are many ways to achieve a result.
It should be noted the expression is colloquial, I do not go around "killing' anything.
Those who need frequent access to the Library may consider accessing the Library and having done so drag the Folder to Finder's Side Bar.
In future they are then one click away from direct access to their Library.
Apple seem to be insensitive to the results of their confusing naming, especially when access may be infrequent?
Calling one of the Libraries e.g., LibraryX may be sufficient to indicate to most users that it is somewhere they should not be venturing?
Setting a up a 'second' [in name at least] App Store frankly beggars belief.
It may well be the policy to be working toward a device wide OS with everything ultimately available from iTunes? In the interim it would be useful to differentiate between Mac Applications and iOS Apps without folk having to add their own expression in the interests of clarity.
Sorry to wander off topic but, IMO, this is another example of flawed thinking.

HT204053 How do I change the e-mail address default on the icloud without losing the contacts saved?

How do I change the e-mail address default on the icloud without losing the contacts saved?

Each iCloud account can only have a single iCloud email account. As such, you can't have a different email account on your iPod if it is using the same iCloud account.
You can create additional alias email addresses within this iCloud account, but they will all receive email in the same inbox as the primary icloud email address.

Default addresses

I have a bad feeling what I want can't be done, but thought I'd check an make sure.
I have several addresses I send mail from including some alias addresses for my @me.com account.
I use these different addresses to send things to different people like family, friends, business (and I really don't want my real me.com address going out since I never want it to get spam - aliases I can change easier!
The problem is with the options of what to set as the default address. Sooner or later, I write a new email and the default isn't going to be what I want so now that person has two (or more) addresses for me!
The only solution I can see would be if there was an option to NOT have a default address. This would force me to choose it manually for any new mail (replies to messages would, of course, keep the same address) since, trying to send it with no address would bring up a warning to fill it in.
Is there any way to do this? Or is there some other mail client I can use (though I would rather just keep the Apple program if possible) that does this?

Although I am not that familar with Mac Mail in most mail programs you can override the Return address, reply to, to something other then the address it was sent from. Not sure it that will help you but it is an option.
I have 6 different email addresses so when I am composing a new email it defaults to what the program and I have selected as the default address for mail to be sent from. All I have to do is select, from a drop down, one of my other addresses for that particular email to be sent from.
I personally don't use the otion I wrote about above as I don't need that feature but other find it very handy.

How to disable my address book card changing my user picture

So here are the facts:
The Facebook app on my iPhone syncs Facebook friends' contact info (including photos) to my iCloud address book, including my own contact. My user profile on my Mac has been assigned a 'card' in my Address Book, the card being the contact (me) whose photo is synced with Facebook.
I have now discovered that whatever I manually change my user photo to (Prefences > Users and Groups > My username > Photo) is always replaced by my Facebook profile picture, due to iCloud and everything being synced up.
Therefore, the question which I think would solve my problem in the least distruptive way, is:
How do I stop my Mac account being linked to a 'card' in my Address Book?
I could then keep all my contacts photos, including my own, in my address book but still be able to manually set a user photo, as I would like to
Any answers or better work-arounds would be appreciated.

Upgrade Default Address Lists from LDAP

Hello,
I migrated from MS Exchange 2003 to 2010 some time back. Currently trying to upgrade the address lists as per the guide here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd351283.aspx
When I run
Set-GlobalAddressList "Default Global Address List" -RecipientFilter {(Alias -ne $null -and (ObjectClass -eq 'user' -or ObjectClass -eq 'contact' -or ObjectClass -eq 'msExchSystemMailbox' -or ObjectClass -eq 'msExchDynamicDistributionList' -or ObjectClass -eq 'group' -or ObjectClass -eq 'publicFolder'))}I get the following error:what should I do? Thanks.

Hi Birenc,
the default Global Address List can be modified during the conversion from Exchange 2003. You won't be able to do it after that hence the error message.
1- Run Get-GlobalAdressList | fl and check the IsDefaultGlobalAddressList value. I believe in your case this would be False.
2- To change this you would need to change the msExchRecipientFilterFlags attribute. you can do this via ADSIEDIT. Open ADSIEDIT connect to the Configuration container. Find the Default Global Address List and change the above attribute value from 3 to
0 and apply the changes. Then change it back to 3 and apply changes.
3- Run GlobalAdressList | fl again and the IsDefaultGlobalAddressList value should now be true.
This should fix your issue.

hello ELIJAH01
your friend has a special email on the facebook website. If people send him an email to that address, it arrives in his Facebook Messages. You can try adding an attachment to your email.
More info here: http://www.facebook.com/help/224049364288051/
I did not try the attachment trick, if you do please tell me the result.
