Adding Multiple Buddies at Once

iChat and Address Book work seamless together, but the one thing that I cannot stand is the fact that when you add a person to your iChat buddy list from your address book, you can only add ONE contact at a time. Once you click on the name from the list and click "Add" you then have to go down to the "+" sign and scroll down the list of contacts again to find the next person... rinse, lather, repeat. This is VERY obnoxious.
Is there any way to select more than one contact at a time and hit "Add" to speed up the process? I've tried all the normal ways of selecting more than one item... holding down CMD key or the shift key... nothing works. Anyone else found a way around this?

Hi,
AIM actually stores your Buddy List on their Servers.
iChat offers the ability to Add "Real Names" which then allows it to be put in the Address Book as well.
I do not believe screen names only are stored on your Mac.

Adding multiple items at once to a SharedCollection

I'm playing around with Cocomo for the first time. I like it
a lot, but haven't yet got enough understanding of the API. So I'm
sure I'm missing something obvious.
Anyway. I want to build an application that share an array of
items between clients. The array should be persistent and when a
new client connects it will get the latest data. At the startup of
the first client I want to fill the shared array with default data.
I also want to revert to this data from time to time in an
applications lifecycle.
I've been checking out the examples and I think a
SharedCollection would be perfect for this scenario (not sure if it
really is?).
The problem I have is when I try to fill the SharedCollection
with data, using the addItem method within a for loop, I only get
an entry with the last item, instead of multiple entries (I'm
checking what data that has been added by using the Dev Console).
I'm doing all this in the SYNCHRONIZATION_CHANGE event (only the
first time it's fired).
I should also note that this happens the first time, when no
CollectionNode already is created. When a CollectionNode already
exist it works.
Is this totally the wrong way to go? Am I missing something
about how CollectionNodes should be created? Any help is highly
appriciated!

Hi ,
I actually modified the SharedCollectionExample locally to
have items added in the beginning in synchrinization change
handler. It works fine for me , here is what I did
In the SharedCollectionExample in the examples folder ,
add this line
_model.addEventListener(CollectionNodeEvent.SYNCHRONIZATION_CHANGE,onSynchronizationChang e);
in the onCreationComplete() method where you first declare
SharedCollection Class.
And in the
private function
onSynchronizationChange(p_evt:CollectionNodeEvent):void
if ( _model.isSynchronized ) {
_model.addItem({State:"Nevada",Capital:"Carson City"});
_model.addItem({State:"California",Capital:"Sacramento"});
I can get multiple items( i.e. these two items i added) in
the very beginning. If you check that the model ( SharedCollection)
is synchronized and add within it the items it should work fine and
will give you an initial set of items. Also, shared collection has
a property called idField and it will index objects based on this
field value with duplicates being overwritten.
I hope this helps. Otherwise please copy fractions of code
where you are still finding problem.
Thanks

Adding multiple schemas to a workspace

We use Oracle Applications for our ERP, and I've just had our DBA set up APEX. One of the first things I noticed, however, was that the object browser only shows the schema(s) that have been explicitly assigned to the workspace. I found in the help how to add another schema to the list (have the DBA log in to the admin page and create the new link), but it looked like there wasn't any support for adding multiple schemas at once. Since the applications use a lot of schemas (AP, AR, INV, PO, ONT, WSH, etc., etc.), it'd be great if I didn't have to have him doing all of this manually.
Suggestions?
Or do we just need to do it, secure in the knowledge that we should only have to do it a few times?
(Also, is there any way to have the object browser filter down to tables/views that the APEX user has grants on?)
Thanks,
-David

Peter,
Thanks, that gave us what we wanted. Though now I'm not sure if it's what we should actually have. After adding the schemas, we found that we could manipulate anything we wanted in those schemas (create tables, view and update data, etc.) without having to do explicit grants. This is an obvious security issue...
My first thought is to remove almost all of the schemas and create views in the APEX schema to the other tables that we're going to need, but I'm concerned that doing so will be a development and maintenance headache as our toolbase expands to include more and more of the Oracle Application tables. Is there a better solution that I'm not aware of?

IMporting multiple albums at once: sort on date added AND album or artist

When importing multiple albums at once, iTunes ads them in the library in an all mixed up order.
This makes it very annoying to change song info. I have to multi-select songs from the same album (clicking while pressing the control button) and then change stuff.
1. Why can't iTunes automaticaly keep tracks from the same album together when adding new music from multiple albums?
2. Why can't we sort by added date AND another column like artist or album?
any solutions are very welcome
greetz

The order iTunes is showing the tracks can be changed. Select the album column heading to get tracks list in album order. Normally within an album the tracks will list in track order when viewing this way.

How do I delete multiple items at once instead of one at a time?

How do I delete multiple items at once instead of one at a time? I have several duplicate items in my library and would like to delete the duplicates. Thanks!

You can select multiple items using shift to select a range and control to add or remove items from it.
Regarding duplciates, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group of identical tracks to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. This can happen, for example, if you start iTunes with a disconnected external drive, then connect it, reimport from your media folder, then restart iTunes.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping, whether you do so by hand or using my script, in case something goes wrong.

ITunes 9.2 stops adding multiple artwork in multiple selection mode. Help?

Hi everybody,
Since 2003 I've been using iTunes and adding multiple artwork in several tracks at once.
Lets say: I added 10 tracks of a CD to iTunes library, then selected all of them and then right click to choose "Get Info > Multiple Item Information". Then I just dragged and dropped as many artwork pieces as I wanted onto the artwork window, one by one. Clicked OK and voilá.
Now it will only accept one artwork. Following the procedure I used to do, now it will only take the last artwork I place onto the artwork window.
Now the only way to get multiple artwork in a CD is adding all the artwork (lets say the 20 pages of the booklet) one by one in "each track" separately!, which is a pain in the neck.
So now I have to add artwork one by one to each track one at a time.
Is there a NEW way to add multiple artwork on multiple tracks at once in iTunes 9.2?
Screen shot: http://grab.by/51UT
Thank you for your help.

Hi- you might've already figured this out on your own, but:
A) add the first artwork picture (what you want for your cover artwork) using "Get Info > Multiple Item Information" - and close the Multiple Item Information window
B) with the multiple tracks still selected, drag your additional artwork picture items into the artwork panel in the lower left corner of the iTunes window (this is the artwork panel titled "selected item").
C) your additional artwork will be added to all of the selected items. You can click through the artworks using the left/right arrows above the artwork panel.
Obviously you can also use this same method to add that same additional artwork to any other tracks, from other albums, etc. simply by selecting them as well.
Side note, the easiest way to select all tracks from a single album: select the starting track, then use ctrl-shift and select the ending track- all tracks between those two will be selected.
Aaaaaand you're done! Hope this helps!

Adding Multiple Records with Express

Hello All,
We have a CRUD application written in Express 2.0 that allows users to
enter part numbers and associated information. Our part numbers are
structured as a prefix, alpha, suffix and 'M' or 'P' number variations :
1 AB 2 P3 for example. We have provided functionality to allow the
user to enter multiple P or M variations all at once, say 1 AB 2 P1 thru
P100,
using a dialog box where they enter the starting number, ending number
and step.
The problem comes in the AddRecordsToSave method.
This method correctly builds the array of BusinessClass needed to be
passed to the Save method, however, the Save method adds only the
initial record (the one from the original Express data entry screen)
to the database.
I have traced the problem to the BusinessClient.Update method called
from
Save. I believe I am missing some query information that should be
built into
AddRecordsToSave, but I am completely unsure of how to provide this.
As you can see in the attached code, we are using the LogAttr method to
post
changes. Apparently this is not enough. What am I missing here?
The InstanceStatus key of the added records is set to ST_EMPTY by
default....
I have tried forcing this to ST_UPDATE, only to receive an error that it
should
be ST_EMPTY......?? I am confused. If anyone can shed some light on this
for me,
I would appreciate it. Thanks for any help.

Hi There,
If attr is not specified in your LogAttr() call, the
BusinessClass
will be put in the update state but not attributes will
be logged.
That may be the reason why only the displayed record(
fetched from
the DB ) is getting logged, but not the new records.
I think you should use ATTR_SIMPLE with LogAttr. This
will cause
all the attributes to be logged and a proper query to
be built
to insert the newly created record. I am no Express
Guru,
but it works fine for me. Also, try not to modify
InstanceStatus directly.
Sometimes it might lead to inconsistencies. The online
help
The Add Records to Save example really helps.
Good luck!

Adding multiple rows

How do I add multiple rows at once? Thanks,
Owen

See page 69 of the English edition of the user guide for the basics. If you've already been there and read that, you may be saying; yes, but I want to add them in the middle of my table. That's an extension of adding rows to the end of the table. Add as many rows as you need, at the end of the table. Then select the new rows by click-dragging across the row labels. Then grab the selection by one of the labels and pull to the left to separate the new rows from the rest of the table. Without letting go, move the cursor up the table to where you want the new rows to reside, just to the right of the labels, and you will notice that insertion marks, a split line, appear along the row borders under the mouse. When you reach the destination, let go of the mouse switch and the blanks will drop in where you want them.

Adding multiple same-name nodes from one xml into another

Hi,
Following on from my question the other day (Adding multiple different nodes from one xmltype into another), I now have a slightly more complex requirement that I cannot work out where to start, assuming that it's something that can reuse some/all of yesterday's work (thanks again, odie_63!). ETA: I'm on 11.2.0.3
So, here's the (slightly amended) xml along with yesterday's solution:
with sample_data as (select xmltype('<root>
                                       <xmlnode>

             returning content
         indent
from sample_data sd;
That gives me:
<root>
<extrainfo>
    <b>valb</b>
    <d>
      <d1>vald1</d1>
      <d2>vald2</d2>
    </d>
    <f>valf</f>
    <h>
      <h1>valh1</h1>
      <h2>valh2</h2>
    </h>
</extrainfo>

    <subnode1>val1</subnode1>
    <subnode2>val2</subnode2>
</xmlnode>
<xmlnode>
    <subnode1>val3</subnode1>
    <subnode2>val4</subnode2>
</xmlnode>
</root>
However, I now need to add in a set of new nodes based on information from the <multinode> nodes, something like:
<root>
<extrainfo>
    <b>valb</b>
    <d>
      <d1>vald1</d1>
      <d2>vald2</d2>
    </d>
    <f>valf</f>
    <h>
      <h1>valh1</h1>
      <h2>valh2</h2>
    </h>
    <newnode>
      <name>fred</name>
      <type>book</type>
    </newnode>
    <newnode>
      <name>bob</name>
      <type>car</type>
    </newnode>
</extrainfo>
<xmlnode>
    <subnode1>val1</subnode1>
    <subnode2>val2</subnode2>
    <type>book</type>
</xmlnode>
<xmlnode>
    <subnode1>val3</subnode1>
    <subnode2>val4</subnode2>
    <type>car</type>
</xmlnode>
</root>
If it's easier, I *think* we would be ok with something like:
<newnode>
<type name="fred">book</type>
<type name="bob">car</type>
</newnode>
The closest I've come is:
with sample_data as (select xmltype('<root>
                                       <xmlnode>

Which produces:
<newnode>
<name>fred</name>
<name>bob</name>
<type>book</type>
<type>car</type>
</newnode>
- obviously not right!
Can anyone provide any hints? I've tried searching for similar examples, but I mustn't be putting in the right search terms or something!

or, similarly, to get the alternate output :

      , data($i/type)
} as first into $d/root
return $d
So we're going with the second method, but I've discovered that the "$i/name" node is not always present. When that happens, I would like to use a default value (for example, "george"). I promise I've searched and searched, but I'm completely failing to turn up anything that sounds remotely like what I'm after (seriously, I can't believe my google-fu sucks this badly!).
Is there a simple way of doing it? The only thing that I've found that looks vaguely relevant is "declare default namespace...." but I'm not sure that that's the correct thing to use, or if it is, how I'm supposed to reference it when populating the attribute value.

Adding multiple e-mail alias addresses to an account

Can someone please tell me how to add another e-mail address to my Mail account. I have tried using info from the Mail Help file, both "adding another account" and "adding multiple e-mail alias addresses to an account". Each time when I try to send a test message to or from the added e-mail address, I get the same message: "Cannot send message using the server mail.bellsouth.net. Use the Pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server". The only pop-up is smtp .Mac.
I have tried both methods shown in the HELP file and get the same message. I would really appreciate your help.

Are you trying to add a second email account to Mail, or just add a second "(apparently) from" address to an existing account?
If the former, we need to know some more detail, like:
(1) who is the existing account, .mac or bellsouth?
(2) Which are you trying to add, .mac or bellsouth?
(3) I assume your ISP is Bell South?
(4) What are the names of the smtp servers and what are their respective smtp server port numbers?
(5) Are either of them using SSL on the smtp server?
(6) I don't remember whether Tiger Mail has it or not, but in Leopard Mail, on the menu bar under "Window" there is a selection "Connection Doctor." If applicable to Tiger Mail, what does it say about your connections?
(7) Which account can you send mail through and which one can't you send mail through?
(8) Are your receiving mail okay through either or both accounts? Which one(s)?
Now if you are trying to add a second "(apparently) from" address to an existing account, in Mail Prefs > Accounts > mail account > Email Address, just add a second email address separated by a comma like so:
[email protected], [email protected]
You could have an issue with bellsouth or .mac requiring the domain name in the apparently from email address to match the domain name of the smtp mail server.

How can I delete multiple photos at once from the official Photos app?

Dear fellow Apple users,
I have many pictures on my Camera Roll in Apple's Photos app. What's the quickest way to delete multiple photos at once?
Thus far, I know how to delete photos one by one, but that's time-consuming.
Thank you.

No not box with arrow, that is share button. Edit is where it shows in the pic I posted

Your issue has nothing to do with Apple networking. You may get better results in getting a solution if your post your issue to the iTunes area of the Apple Support Communities.

Is there a way to format multiple images at once? Change colour mode or resolution?

Is there a way to format multiple images at once? Change colour mode or resolution?

It's very easy to make an action.
Go to window > actions
In the actions panel, simply click the 'create a new action' button, it starts recording as soon as you've created it (when you've given it a name).
Now you can apply the changes you want to make to the images on the file you have opened.
After you've done all you need to do. You click the 'stop' button. The action is now ready to use. And you can apply the changes you made on all the other files.
Then you can continue how gener7 explained.
I usually include a save and close command, so that the whole batch doesn't end up opened after running the script.
But if you do that you have to create a new file, and save it to your computer before you start recording the action, otherwise the save command will be replaced by each file. And you'll end up with one edited file in the end. At least for as far as I know!

ICloud keeps duplicating my contacts, any of which I need to delete anyways. Is there a way to delete multiple contacts at once? I have been deleting them one at a time, but they keep reappearing.

I have exactly the same problem! I have Outlook 2010 and it does the same thing with my contacts, and calender enteries!! Really frustrating
