Address book rotating date feature sets wrong DAY

Has anyone noticed that the rotating date setter in address book does not work properly. When you try to set a Birthday date - say 22nd it will end up at say 20th always a couple of days wrong. Even setting on Imac and synching it will sync wrong DAY - month and year are OK.
Weird or What!

Interestingly, I also have this problem, and I also live in NZ... (hi ppls~)
After reading the posts in this topic, namely Holly's posts about problems occuring between Nov to Feb, I went and changed someone's b'day several times to see what happens.
What I found out was b'days that are set on or before October 29 display correctly, but b'days set on or after oct 30 display one day early.
Daylight saving for 2005 starts on the 2 of Oct, so it probably isn't to do with that.
The other thing I found out, is if you have a b'day set to the first of march, it disappears. It doesn't display at all.. until you go to a leap year, such as 2004. There you will see that the b'day is set to the 29 of feb: one day early. But it probably isnt' related to the 29th of feb, because birthdays set on or after 6th of march are correct, but on or before the 5th of march are a day early.
Now... one more thing i found out is that if your week starts on sunday (as set in the preferences), the 6th of march is the first day (sunday) in the second line of the march 2005 calendar. The 29th of oct is the last day (saturday) in the second to last line of the oct 2005 calendar.
This may be a coincidence, but highly unlikely.
These dates don't change if you change the year to 2004 in sys preferences. Maybe it's just a freak bug, or maybe it can't be fooled by simply changing the year in system prefs..
I agree with Andy Burson, though, one day early is better than one day late

    Hi Jo,
    If I'm interpreting this correctly, the Word file downloads correctly, but when you open it in Pages, the link(s) which your instructor has embedded in the Word file are not correctly translated into Pages.
    If the link shows the actual address, you should be able to copy that and paste it into the location bar in Safari, press return, and get to the website that way.
    An alternate route might be to download one of the open source Office applications, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice, or NeoOffice. These are written to more closely emulate the behaviours of MS Word than Pages, and may provide better support for links embedded in Word files.

  • HT1212 My ipod is disabled and the message requests to try again in 223004 minutes.  I think it might have something to do with the date being set wrong before it went into disabled mode.  Can you assist in enabling.

    You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it.  If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • LION  ADDRESS BOOK. no data

    Hi, I have just downloaded LION and everything appears to work ok apart from ADDRESS BOOK. In Snow Leopard I have set up hundreds of names and addresses but this data has not migrated in to the new address book in LION. Has anyone got any ideas how to recover this data

    Hold down the option key and select the Go menu in Finder. From there, select Library.
    Then, find the AddressBook folder like this:
    The above picture is in Column view, as noted by the selection in the toolbar shown.
    Delete that highlighted file by selecting it and pressing cmd-delete.
    If that doesn't work, do you have a backup from Snow Leopard?

  • Address book entry data changes

    We create a new card, enter name and address - all fine.
    Until it comes to numbers data.
    For example:
    we type in "private" -"754.3434".
    Next time we open the contact card it says:
    "work" - "75 43434"!
    We change "work" back to "private", but the application will set it his way again!
    The empty space in the phonenumber was generated arbitrarily, the dot is brutally crunshed!
    After changing data back to our old formatting, address book behaves like astubborn child and refuses to do so.
    Any help is highly welcomed!

    P.S. Any tips for a reliable printing software for organizer formats (like in Palm Desktop)?

    hold the shift key while starting Thunderbird and try the procedure in safe mode. Does it work then?

  • Address Book - Total data loss

    Status - I am running an Address Book with over 13,000 contacts on a Mini Mac (top of the line) with Max Memory. Several apps open mail, ical, address book, safari, powerpoint, ichat and skype.
    I was working on a subset of my contacts a smart group with 350 contacts. Out of the blue all contact, smart group and groups vanish. Address book did not report and error, crash or restart.
    I have been able to restore a back up - however, a whole days work is lost!
    Does anyone know why this happened and how I can stop it from happening again.
    Thanks in advance a SWITCHER as of Oct 2005!!!

    I don't know how many addresses it will hold, but with those sort of numbers, make sure you use all sorts of backup strategies.
    1) backup directly from within Mail
    2) backup the folder yourhome / Library / Application Support / AddressBook / to an external drive
    Now to your problem: do you have any widgets active that source data from your AB?
    Do you have any plugins active in Mail that uses AB data?
    Or anything else that may be active on your AB that interferes while you were selecting such large groups?

  • Address Book Birthday Dates

    In Address Book I find it hard to maintain accurate Birthday Dates. They are either out by one day (I live in NZ and am ahead of most of the world by a day) or the days are widly off. Any thoughts as to why it seems to have a mind of it's own? Mark.Adrr

    I have the same issue on my iPhone 4S ( iOS 5.0.1 ). I live in Germany.
    My Mac runs Snow Leopard, no iCloud involved.
    Some birthdays are off by one day prior to the real birthday-date !?
    This applies to dates in the past and future.
    On my Mac the birthdays are displayed correct in calendar !?

  • Address Book photo resizes after set

    I have a MacBook Pro on OS x 10.7.5.  When I add a photo to Address Book then click "Set" it will change back to its original size after a few seconds.  Anyone have an answer to how I can stop this from happening?

    Are you referring to Personal Address Book entries or to the Corporate Directory or both? As you mentioned "cn" I initially thought you were referring to the Corporate Directory, but then you mentioned adding new entries so it became less clear - how did you add the new entry? Have you compared the ldif of an entry for which it does display the email address with one for which it doesn't - are there any obvious differences in attribute names? Is there any chance you had previously edited the <iwc-root>/config/templates/ab/*/xlate-* files?
    As an aside, you mention after patching you applied the original configuration settings with iwcadmin - were these not merged automatically as part of the patching process? Were no settings at all merged or just not the settings related to the values in the saveState file from when the application was originally configured [<iwc-root>/install/Iwc-config_*/saveState]?

  • Address Book's Data getting jumbled

    Hello,
    I have a user who's data in address book keeps getting corrupted.
    What ends up happening is email addresses from different contacts get automatically added to other contacts. Out of about 1500 contacts about a dozen will "merge" there data so that each corrupted contact has each of the others contact info in it. This will then grow and expand, more contacts effected, more email addresses added per contact. The original data is still held in the first line of each category. In addition, many contacts are duplicated, sometimes triplicated.
    This problem has been going on across 3 computers. Started on Leopard upgrade. Now on a system with clean instal.
    I have repaired the corrupted contacts manually. Exported as address book data. Deleted files from user library. Imported.
    This last time I repaired the contacts, exported as vCards, deleted all, imported. Hoping that the issue would not follow in the vCard format.
    I have run disk permissions and Disk Warrior.
    Logs show nothing.
    Any ideas? This one is driving me nuts and is effecting the VP of Sales, so important that I fix.
    Thank you.

    Thanks, yes I have tried that. It was the first thing I actually tried, forgot to post that.
    I have tried deleting the whole ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book folder with no luck. Good idea with the script.
    Syncing... well that is a good question. The user has a iPhone but says they never sync it.
    I find that hard to believe, have disabled the auto syncing.
    When I connect over the network or via vnc I never see the iPhone connected.
    I have thought of the syncing and am not ruling it our right now, but it would not explain the growing numbers of corrupt contacts. It would be the same ones repeatedly I would think.

  • MobileMe Address Book Sync - data change warning

    I have used MobileMe for years and have always had the sync settings on automatic. Tonight I received the pop-up warning that over 5% of my address book information would be changed with the sync. In viewing the details, it appears that all the address book data labeled "child" on my hard drive is being changed to "brother/sister" from MobileMe.
    Did Apple change something on their end with the fields in address book? or is this some conflict on my end?
    Thanks in advance for any help/insight.

    I just developed this issue out of the blue. Some contacts duplicate, some don't. 2-6 copies of the ones that do duplicate. Strange.

  • Address book linked - new feature?

    Faces now offers me people from my address book to use to tag photos. I'm pretty sure this has only been available in the most recent update but I'm not sure.
    It very handily imports names and email addresses which you can then use with facebook.
    Has anyone found a way to link a "Face" that ou have already created with an address book file?
    I only seem to be able to do it when creating a new face.
    Cheers
    Andy
    ps i know about http://prosopagnosia.dessibelle.se/ but think it should be possible just in iphoto

    I agree.
    This is a new feature in the latest update and doesn't appear to have an 'off' switch.
    I'm surprised this has been developed/added as a feature as most users will have a substantially smaller number of people that they wish to build photo albums around compared to the number of contacts in their address book, and so it inevitably makes it more cumbersome to name faces.
    For what its worth, I have less than 20 close friends and family on my 'corkboard' that I'm interested in going through the time investment of face recognition for verses 500+ address book contacts.
    I will suggest to apple that they at least prioritise the names previously used in iPhoto within the drop down list.

  • Distribution lists in Address Book don't stay set

    I have several groups I e-mail regularly and many of the people on the lists have multiple e-mail addresses. I know to go to Edit Distribution List to select which one I want that group message to be sent to, but the selections don't seem to stay selected for that list...is there some way of saving the selections for a distribution list that I am missing? Am not sure whether the people with multiple addresses are just not getting the messages when they aren't selected or whether the message is going to all their e-mail addresses, neither of which is desirable.

    Talked with AppleCare yesterday and was informed that this behavior is "normal"--whenever you close Address Book, it "forgets" the Distribution List choices you made. Apparently the only way to have someone in your Address book with different e-mail addresses that you use for different group mailings on a regular basis (in my case, folks on both the Chamber of Commerce list with their business e-mail and the Arts Alert list with their home e-mail), is to create duplicate cards for those individuals. One more aggravation in my efforts to be a good neighbor/volunteer who distributes useful information to others for free. If anyone knows another way to accomplish this, I'd sure appreciate hearing about it.

  • Address book mixing data

    What is the problem with Apple's Address book mixing contact phone, addresses, notes, names and loosing complete entries? I have had this problem since I started using the Mac. Is there a solution other than using another contact manager??
    Message was edited by: Chuckg

    Upon further exploration, I'm not sure that there is rhyme nor reason to the sort order of the labels. I played with it a bit and it can't readily figure out how it sorts them. All I know is that Address Book changes the order that I originally input, and would prefer if it retained that order.

  • Mail Recieved Date All Set to Day of Import

    Hi, I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro (2 weeks ago to be exact) and I moved all my mail over to Mail which to much of my surprise all the received dates where reset to that day (2 weeks ago). After some searching I found that in Mail, by default, it shows the received date instead of sent date which is what I guess Thunderbird did by default (however upon checking, Thunderbird has the correct received dates). So I went ahead and switched it and all was fine.
    Now, however, I wanted to try out MobileMe. I tried moving some messages over to MobileMe and found that MobileMe shows that same received date by default. However, there is no way to change it on the webmail to show the sent date instead.
    So is there a way to set the received date to that of the sent date in Mail?

    Yes, I read the question. But if you import mail, then it goes into it's own "Imported" folder, which then treats it as though it was sent/received on the date of import. In the Message Viewer window, you can choose to display mail by it's Sent or Received date, which should be specific to the Inbox and Sent mailbox, though some people report it being global. I don't have that problem.
    To do that, you Control-click on the display menu bar in that window and select the fields you want for that particular mailbox, and deselect the ones you don't want. Repeat for the Sent mailbox; those settings should stick for each separate mailbox. However, it may still show the date of import, even though the actual Sent or Received date should be correct in the header when you display the email.
