AIrDrop discovering contacts that are not nearby

I Have an iPhone 5S and an iPad Mini 2 and I am running into the same problems as others have had where neither of my devices are discoverable To each other. I'm not really concerned about that right now, what I am concerned about is that one of my Contacts is showing up as Discoverable. I'm pretty sure he's not actually within range, but I wonder if this is just a glitch in the system. Anybody else finding this same problem?

When I use Yahoo, it only shows suggestions from my small number of contacts, and doesn't automatically list any of the senders.
So I definitely do not have a clue why you are seeing those.
Do you have any Yahoo add-ons that might be adding new features to the site? I would check particularly for extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions.

Method needed to identify Contacts that are not valid from the Comp Screen

Problem
My Company has 65k contacts in the system, we do not delete contacts that are no longer at company, as when we buy data our data in some cases will be more up to date that the third party data available on the market. This then means when a user looks at a company record and the related contacts, he has to hover the cusor over each of the contacts to check if they are valid or not.
Goal
When a user looks at the contacts linked to the company the following fields will be presnt:
Contact Valid
Contact Leave Date.
This will then mean the user will be able to see without looking which contacts are valid and which are not.
Problems
I have tried to create a contact page layout with the fields needed however the only fields avaiable are as follows:
Company ID
Company Name
Company Status
Contact ID
Contact Name
Contact Roles
Location
Primary
Can anybody help?

Thanks for the reply.
However I think I didn't make myself clear in my post in terms of the problem. The problem I have is that when a user looks at a company (account) record the user see the following information in relation to which of the available contacts to select "Primary,Last & First name,Job Title, Contact Role, Work Phone and Email". However none of these fields show if the contact is valid or if they have a leave date.
Both Contact Valid and Contact Leave date have been set up in the system within the contact record. I want to change the layout and have spent hours in the following screens and functions.
Page layout Management
Company/Contact Related Information layout
Related Information Setup
Company/Contact page layout
The problem is the screens/functions where I think I could add the two above mentioned fields end up with me turning the fileds into required or read only fields, and the section where I want to drag in the fields to display has the two fields missing.

HT2486 TO MORE QUICKLY FIND CONTACT THAT ARE NOT FAMILIAR, CAN I DISPLAY THE ADDRESS BOOK IN A MORE OPEN FASHION, LIKE OUTLOOK "ADDRESS CARDS"

How many different views are there available in Address Book?
I can not find a way to display the raw alpha list or multiple cards within an alph letter
Thanks, I am new to Mac and learning the many limitations and some of the advantages.

Thanks very much for your reply.
I did see the ability to flip between the two levels of the data. However, that isn't the same thing as what could be done previously, and what I used to do/the functionality I'd like back.
Flipping back and forth between the two sets of pages makes it harder for how I worked because I make extensive notes about the contacts in the notes field. I need to see those notes to know if I want to move that contact to another group. So you would need to constantly flip back and forth when before it was just scrolling a list and dragging the contact when you saw one that needed to be added to a group.
Bottom line is without the third "window" or view to all three levels of the data open at the same time, much of what I need to do is very difficult now.
I don't have a small screen, and would like to be able to use it. I don't like the idea of having limits imposed and having to work around what used to be there. That is going backwards, not forward.

Help! how do I delete contacts that are not on my contact list? when I start a new message you can still get the number when you tap in the name?

how do I delete contacts? help! contacts are deleted off my
contacts. but when I go to messages and press in the name the contact
still appears under other..... can I delete these?

That is saved in cache memory on the phone and that memory is about 2MB in size and is eventually overwritten with use. The only sure way to get rid of it is to restore as new and not from a backup and you will lose data. I suggest you just ignore

Contacts that are not mine

Why do I keep getting contacts in my phone for people that I do not know.

There might be a slight glitch in the Facebook program and the setting which you are using to link your contacts. To fix this, I reccomend reinstalling Facebook, or if you go in your contact which you do not want, is there not a button at the bottom saying 'Delete Contact'? If non of these options work, try a reset in iTunes.

How can I delete suggested contacts that are not in my contact list?

I inadvertently sent an email "reply all.". Now all 50 people show up when I get suggested recipients. How can I delete them?

Unfortunately, there is no way to delete those contacts in the current iOS - at least as far as I know. You just have to ignore them and eventually they will at least go to the bottom of the suggestion list that pops up in mail.

Hey Raffiecat,
Thanks for the question. If your iPod is setup to manually manage content, you can add content from multiple libraries:

When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
You can also learn which content you can import to your new computer from your iPod:

Or, if you still have access to the previous computer, you can transfer your iTunes Library:

Z30 Does not save contacts that are added

I just recently upgraded from a 9900 to a Z30 and am running the 10.2.0.429 OS. I have tried numorous times to add contacts by going into my contacts, hitting Add (at the bottom), filling out the necessary contact information and then hitting save at the top right hand corner. However, the phone does not seem to save any contacts I enter as when I go to search them, they are not there. The only contacts that are currently appearing in my contacts are my BBM contacts which migrated from my 9900.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

The phone is trying to be smart but sometimes it overthinks things.
If this is the case just go to the contact, click on links(x) and then click on unlink next to the one you want as a seperate contact.
If you've been helped click on , if you've been saved buy the app.

Best approach to delete records that are not in the source table anymore.

I have a situation where I need to remove records from dimensions that are not in the source data anymore. Right now we are not maintaing history, i.e. not using SCD but planning for the next release. If we did that it would be easy to figure the latest records. The load is nightly and records are updated and new added.
The approach that I am considering is to join the dimension tables the the sources on keys and delete what doesn't join. However, is there perhaps some function in OWB that would allow to do this automatically on import so it can be also in place for the future?
Thanks!

Bear in mind that deleting dimension records becomes problematic if you have facts attached to them. Just because this record is no longer in the active set doesn't mean that it wasn't used historically, and so have foreign key constraints on it in your database. IF this is the case, a short-term solution would be to add an expiry_date field to the dimension and update the load to set this value when the record disappears rather than to delete it.
And to do that, use the target dimension as a source table, outer join it to the actual source table on the natural key, and so your update will set expiry_date=nvl(expiry_date,sysdate) to set to sysdate if this record has not already been expired on all records where the outer join fails.
Further consideration: what do you do if the record is re-inserted into the source table? create a new dimension key? Or remove the expiry date?
But I will say that I am not a fan of deleting records in most circumstances. What do you do if you discover a calculation error and need to fix that and republish historical cubes? Without the historical data, you lose the ability to do things like that.

Some contacts have disappeared from my phone contacts. They are still in the phone because if someone calls me their name appears and if i search in text for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help

Some contacts have disappeared from my phone. Not all just random ones. They are still in the phone because if someone (who has disappeared from my phone contacts calls me their name appears and if i search in text messages for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help!

But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

HT201272 I've got songs on my iPad that are not on my iPhone which I want but for some reason they won't go on over Icloud, help!?

I've got songs on my iPad that are not on my iPhone which I want but for some reason they won't go on over Icloud, help!?

perfect. ok do the following:
settings > mail, contacts, calendars > go into the exchange account. You should have an email in the account field...[email protected] or [email protected], etc.... I am assuming you don't remember the password to this exchange account so once you know the email, you can go to email providers site and click on forgot password and you will go through the steps to get a new password. Once you do this, you will need to go back into your "exchange account " and the field that has the exchange email > touch the > to open settings. Change the password to your new password you got from above. Once you do this, you can add the exchange account to your ipad and all of your contacts will sync to both devices.
Please confirm.
