2.0 firmware causes some contacts with same last name to not be displayed

After upgrading to 2.0 it appears that only the first contact for a given last name is shown in contacts. Interestingly, if i search for that last name all of the contacts show up, so they are indeed syncing to the phone but are not able to be viewed in the regular contact list. I tried restoring the phone (imported settings from last sync after restore) and still have the same problem. Anyone else see the same thing?

I'm not aware of anyone called just "John"! Everybody I know has at least a first name and a last name... therefore that is the data I enter into Address Book and iSync works fine for me and all my Sony Ericsson phones.
If you don't provide the required data, you can't really expect iSync to work correctly.
There is a reason for this... its because most phones don't split First and Last Name into two fields like Address Book does. So, if you have a contact named just "John" with no last name, when you sync, how does iSync know whether "John" is a First or Last name?
To get around this iSync adds a '-' into the blank field, so that when syncing back it knows where to put the data.
The solution is extremely simple, just provide Address Book with a first and last name (which AFAIK everyone has).

ISync adds a "-" to contacts with First/Last Name Blank

Hello, I'm using iSync 2.3 with a Nokia 8800 (S40) and Sonyericsson T610.
When a contact's name is First name:John Last name:Smith, it syncs properly to my phones as "John Smith".
With First name: John Smith Last name: empty, it syncs as John-Smith-.
Same goes with a blank first name. Some of the contacts only have a first name written in, anyone knows how I can get rid of the extra -s?

Adding users to PAB group with same last name as existing

Cannot add user to PAB group when user has same last name as an existing Group member.
Seems to work, see number tick up and green bar flash, but, never really adds.

Contact with same first name as previous, overwrit...

PC Suite 6.84. When I create a new contact with the same first name as an existing contact in PC Suite, and then I save it to the phone, the new contact info overwrites the old!
For example:
first name: Airlines
last name: United
So that entry is there.
But then if I add:
first name: Airlines
last name: US Air
The United Airlines entry is not longer there, only the US Air entry.
I want "Airlines" as all the first names because then they should all be grouped together in the contacts list (sorted by 1st name).

What phone model do you have ?

Can I un-merge contacts so people with the same last name have separate entries?

Since upgrading to iOS7 on my iPhone 4, I find that a lot of contacts were merged into single entries. The merged contacts are people with the same address and may have same last name, but they have other contact info that differs, especially different mobile phone numbers. Is there a way to separate such contacts so I can tell whose mobile phone number is whose? I sync my iphone contacts with the address book on my iMac (OS 10.7.5), where each person remains a separate entry. It is useless for me to see one entry per family on my phone when I cannot tell whose phone number is whose. Any way to fix this?

Select the unified contact you want to unlink
Tap edit
Scroll to the bottom
Tap the red circle
Tap the read unlink button to confirm.

How to separate two contact with same name

Hi, anyone knows how to separate two contacts with same name in Contacts? Actually they are two persons from two gmail contacts with same name but different contact numbers, different emails....etc, but Contacts assume they are same person and merge them as one!

FG,
In Lion, you have the File > Duplicate option. You will then have two copies of your document open, and the one on top will have the temporary filename "OriginalFileName copy", and your next responsibility is to File > Save (or Command-S) and rename the duplicate. At this point, you edit the copy's name, to perhaps ...copy 1, or whatever you wish. The document you had open when you initiated the File > Duplicate will still be there on your screen, waiting for you to Close it or continue editing.

Help. My iphone will not charge after some contact with water and it is dead. What do i do?????

My phone made some contact with water but after putting it in rice, it was fine. The only problem was that it had stopped charging and now the battery is dead and I don't know what to do

If you try to have it repaired and it still doesn't work, you'll be out that money and still need to buy a replacement phone. Water damaged phones rarely work well again. I know you're looking for a lower cost option, but spending the money and getting a phone that works 100% seems to be the best option. It's your money and your choice, but I wouldn't try to fix a water damaged phone. Maybe that's just me.........

What do you do when your contacts with IPHONES or IPADS are not showing up in blue in IMESSAGE on my IPAD. The are showing up in RED and not allowing me to IMESSAGE them at all.

What do you do when your contacts with IPHONES or IPADS are not showing up in blue in IMESSAGE on my IPAD. The are showing up in RED and not allowing me to IMESSAGE them at all.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

Two query with same technical name in Quality

Hi experts,
I have two queries in Quality with same technical name. I used the program RENAME_DUPLICATE_ELEMENTS to rename the query and its renaming the latest query instead of the old Query. I am in BI 7.0 system and cant find a note that applies to BI 7.0. There are quite a few notes on 3.x system. Has somebody faced the same problem. What did you do. If there is a note for bi 7.0, please let me know so i can resolve with the Basis team.

We had similar issues - this happens when you create a query locally and then transport the same.
The queries have an internal GUID which is generated locally and this causes duplicates.
You can :
1. Delete queries using the GUIDS ( you can find this in RZCOMPDIR or RSRREPDIR tables ) using RZDELETE to delete queries.
identify your older version query and then delete the same and you should be good to go...
also try identifying the same using program

How To Create Table View With Same Column name But Different Table?

Hi All,
I have the problem to create a tableview with same column name but in different table.
The Table that i have:-
Table - PAC051MPROFORMA
Column - mrn,visitid
Table - PAC051TPROFORMA
Column - mrn,visitid
Table - PAC052MTRANSBILL
Column - mrn,visitid
Then i want to create a table view to view that table. This is my SQL
CREATE VIEW pacviewproforma (mrn,visitid,mrn,visitid,mrn,visitid)
As Select PAC051MPROFORMA.mrn,PAC051MPROFORMA.visitid,PAC051TPROFORMA.mrn,PAC051TPROFORMA.visitid,PAC052MTRANSBILL.mrn,PAC052MTRANSBILL.visitid
where
*(a.PAC051MPROFORMA.mrn=PAC051TPROFORMA.mrn)*
and
*(a.PAC051TPROFORMA.mrn=PAC052TRANSBILL.mrn)*
That SQL Return this error = ORA-00957: duplicate column name
Then I modify that SQL to
CREATE VIEW pacviewproforma (mrn,visitid)
As Select PAC051MPROFORMA.mrn,PAC051MPROFORMA.visitid,PAC051TPROFORMA.mrn,PAC051TPROFORMA.visitid,PAC052MTRANSBILL.mrn,PAC052MTRANSBILL.visitid
where
*(a.PAC051MPROFORMA.mrn=PAC051TPROFORMA.mrn)*
and
*(a.PAC051TPROFORMA.mrn=PAC052TRANSBILL.mrn)*
This time this error return = ORA-01730: invalid number of column names specified
What should i do?

6021 and synchronising contact with a company name

Hello, does anybody know if it is possible to synchronise contacts with no pre name but only a company name?
I can only get the names and extra info of these contacts on my 6021 but no company name.
For the 6600 there is a seperate PC suite that can do the trick but is it also possible with the suite for my 6021.
I am using version 6.83.14.1
Nokia 232>8110i>7110>6600>N95

As far as I can see the series 40 phones only allow 1 name field containing both the first and the last name. For example: when names are being stored in Outlook with both a first and last name they are combined in the name field within the phone after synchronisation. Putting an 'a' in the name field results in omly displaying an 'a' and a phone number...
The most simple solution would be to look for a company name and place it in the phone's name field if both first and last name are not available in Outlook.
But it seems Nokia support is not willing to look at the problem. They don't respond to email or anything

My iphone plus is bending, what does Apple offer regarding this issue?
I am trying to get to contact with Apple Customer Care, but not clear to me how to do it beside this channel of communication. I bought the phone from kosovar carrier which is under Slovenian ownership. This means that the original warranty comes from Slovenia, bit complicated but still I would like to get an urgent answer how to proceed with this issue, thanks

Maybe i should have only asked if anyone is aware on apple's policy
regarding bending. I took the point that this seems not a proper forum to
pose Q's to apple thanks to both
