Am I trying to print too many Contacts at once?

I have over 2000 contacts in my Address Book, and when I try to print I get the "Preparing" window forever. I can break it down to smaller groups, but I'm wondering if there's a limit to how many contacts Address Book can print in one pass. Any ideas?

You really can't. Try downloading them on your computer and sync. Next try restoring from backup.

    I got locked out of the Password & Security section for trying my questions too many times. I was just trying to buy an app and it completely locked me out. Do I have to call iTunes?

  • BB Q10 is troublesome for my bluetooth car stereo due to too many contacts

    In the past my various blackberrys have had no problem connecting via bluetooth to my car stereos or various hands free units. I do have 9,000+ contacts on my blackberry. Typically a car hands free unit will only take the fist few hundred or thousand. This has never bothered me as i dial manually from my backberry phone. However on the Q10 it seems to keep feeding contacts to my Kenwood car stereo, result being that my stereo displays continuously the message "downloading" over any other display - which is frustrating to say the least. I have spoken at length with Kenwood support, and they seem unable to help, but keep leading back to trying to find a way for the Q10 to connect on the bluetooth for voice / calls, but turn off sharing of contacts or data. The kenwood product does not have any control on this unfortunately. The Q10 also seems to support phone book auto synchronisation. I know others have had issues on the bluetooth car connection for the Q 10, but no one seem to have the same issue i do - of too many contacts, or not that i have seen. The phone works fine via the bluetooth connection, it is simply a pain that i cannot see my tracks or radio station on the stereo because it is "downloading". Does anyone have a solution for this issue from the blackberry side, if not is there likely to be one in the future? I have been impressed by the fact that blackberry have made other changes recently such as resolution size of photographs etc, wonder if we can expect other tweaks.

    In Italy we have some Radio Sender which can be connected to the iPhone and send the music to the FM receiver.
    They are practically useless. Even if you can tune in to find a range free from Radio sender it is stable only for 1 Mile. Then you get a strong radio over your music.
    BT should be more stable but I do not believe it will give you a stronger signal compared to a direct cable connection.
    You really need an amplifier.

  • I received a message about having too many contacts?  Not sure what this means, didn't know there limitations on contacts.  Can you tell me about fixing this problem?

    I received a message about having too many contacts?  Not sure what this means, didn't know there limitations on contacts.  Can you tell me about fixing this problem?

    What were you doing when you received the message?
    I have seen reports on these forums where there is a limit to how many contacts you can have in the "to" field of a text message. That is the only thing I can think of where someone has reported getting a warning about too many contacts.

  • IChat won't connect to AIM. It says I tried to login too many times.

    I was randomly using my comp when i tried to login to iChat and it tried to login several times. After it got done freaking out it suddenly said that i couldn't connect to AIM because i tried to login too many times and that i need to wait a few minutes and try again. I've tried deleting the .plist files and have also tried setting the port to a different one. It keeps coming up with the same error. Is there anyone who is also having this problem and might be able to suggest some solutions? Thanks

    I take it you are trying port 443.
    Try it without the SSL Login
    Also try deleting the com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist and com.apple.iChatAgent.plist together.
    Don't forget to restart iChat.

  • Have tried Apple password too many times now locked out of iPhone and ipad

    I Have tried to put Apple password on too many times now I am locked out of iPhone and iPad how do I fix this

    If you've disabled your iTunes account (is that what you mean ?) then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your devices by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
    If that doesn't fix it then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • If you cannot sync contacts this might be the problem...too many contact groups

    I have a Centro and MAC book and was trying to use ISync and then Missing Sync to sync data. In both programs the contacts would not sync but all else did just fine. I have many contacts but did not need all of them on my phone so I organized them into groups in the address book, with one group being a list of the current contacts I wanted on my phone. With MissingSync the program will only sync a certain number of groups, although I had more than that number I didn't think it mattered because I was only trying to sync the one group. It matters. Even though in the Missing Sync conduit setting the group was listed and I only checked that group off to sync - nothing would sync. 
    The solution was to save a back up of my address book and then delete all my contact groups except the one I wanted to sync. POOF! It worked. I am not sure exactly how many groups would work but if the priority is to get a certain number of contacts, not all, on your phone and you have a lot of groups, maybe this strategy will work for you. If you are using ISync, since the problem was the same for both programs, maybe this would also be the solution in ISync. 
    What led to this ah-ha moment was a forum moderator at MissingSync suggesting I create another user on my computer with administrative capability, create a few test contacts and then try to sync. This did work, the contacts did sync.
    I hope this may be of help to someone and possibly save you a lot of time.  Good luck!

  • My phone is disabled from trying the passcode too many times?

    I tried my passcode on the lock screemn too many times and now my phone says "iphone disabled connect to itunes" When I try to connect to itunes it says "cannot connect to itunes because phone is disabled"..... Can anyone please help me get into my phone?

    Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. Then hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually takes less than 20 seconds holding both buttons. Restore Firmware.

  • IChat keeps telling me I've tried logging on too many times...

    Ok... so here's the story:
    I'm visiting my sister, and she has netgear... I tried logging on to iChat, and it went berserk, logging on and off several times in a row. And then a message popped up the next time I logged on saying: "You have attempted to login too often in a short period of time. Wait a few minutes before trying to login again." So... I searched on this website to see what to do about this, and I found that I need to change the port to 443... so I did it... but it won't even let me attempt to log in anymore, and the same error message keeps popping up.
    Is there a way I can reset this so it doesn't keep telling me I've tried to log on too many times? I've tried restarting, and that's just not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated... I'm gonna try turning the computer off and removing and replacing the battery to see if that words...
    thanks

  • Exchange printing too many pages

    I have and individual on exchange, that every time they want to print E-Mail it prints about 70 or 80 pages more then the one page they are trying to print.  I have this person on the same printers with drivers that work for a hundred other people
    so I figured there must be something wrong with the Exchange profile so I deleted it and started again.  The same thing happened.  Any ideas?

    I had the same issue.
    It was solved by;
    Forward the email
    Selecting everything in the mail
    And finally remove all formatting. (The upper right icon in the basic text group)
    (Not certain how the functions are named in the english version as i use the norwegian version of Office 2010)

  • UnLink Many Contacts at Once

    I accidentally linked all of my contacts (500) to one contact. 499 are showing up under the 1. Is there someway I can unlink them all at once instead of having to do them one by one?

    Hi,
    As far as I know, there is no method to unlink all linked contacts at once, we have to unlink them one by one by clicking the 'X' beside the name.

  • Photosmart C6180 prints too many copies of PDFs and HTML-documents

    Hi,
    My Photosmart C6180 prints multiple copies of documents even if I haven't asked for it. This seems to only apply to PDFs and HTML-documents, I haven't seen it happen with Word/Excel. It's not consistent, it happens most of the time but now always for these documents. When I look at the console, when it has started printing I see shortly the status "Printing - Restarting". That's probably when it starts the 2nd copy. Sometimes it stops by itself, other times it seems to be looping and I have to turn the printer off and delete the document from the queue.
    HP solution center SW is updated, I run Vista with latest service packs on a Thinkpad T400s.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    My C6180 printed multiple copies of any document from my Vista OS laptop ( wireless connection ), but not from my
    XP OS desktop ( USB connection), even though I selected 1 copy on the print menu. Unchecking "Enable bidirectional support" in the Properties / Ports dialog box solved the problem. Hope this helps someone too.

  • Stopping Crystal Printing Too Many Records

    I have a report in crystal.  It is showing some details held on our Case Management System.  If people merge in the template twice they end up with a set of 8 blank details in their case.  This in turn forces Crystal to print many rows for each of these cases as it prints ever possible combination of answers for each detail.  As a result I had 540,000 records instead of 1 this morning.
    Does anyone know if there is anyway to stop this happening, an option to stop Crystal printing more than say 100,000 records?
    Thanks,
    Alastair

    Use the Record count in the record selection forumla or use a stored procedure.

  • Too many contacts = sms problems

    Hi, i bought and 16GB iPhone last week and i'm having some problems with SMS.
    When I click on the SMS, it takes about 40 seconds to open (when it opens, because normally just returns to the home screen), everything is really slow (opening conversations, writing/reading messages..). The problem only occur when my big list of contacts its in the phone (+- 4000 names).
    My sister bought and 16GB in the same day, everything is equal, but she only have 100 contacts and her iPhone work perfectly. I already tried restoring my iPhone and reseting, but after syncing my contacts, the SMSs just stop working right. When i sync MY contacts in HERs iPhone, the SMSs of hers phone also starts having problems.
    I feel like if it wasnt prepared for that ammount of data. What should i do? Does the iPhone has limitations regarding the number of contacts?
    Thanks in advance.

    My life would be a lot easier if the iPhone had a spotlight, but in the time been, my fingers are getting stronger from all the scrolling...
    I cant delete contacts because most of them are business relations/ hotels/ restaurants/ tennis partners... My contacts are my office on the road. But thanks for trying to help...
    Anyone have a solution for my SMS problem?
