Any way to force a complete refresh of contacts from Yahoo Address Book?

Any way to force a complete refresh of contacts from Yahoo Address Book?
About once a month I delete all my Yahoo contacts and upload a new file. (That may sound crazy but I do it from a master file (a database) both to Yahoo and Lotus Notes and blackberry via Notes. Only takes a few moments. Works for me.)
When I do this with my iphone it's duplicating some contacts, not a whole lot, but some - maybe 3%. I have reset the sync history before doing this.
So, any way to wipe the slate clean on the iphone and force a one way refresh?

Please check you contact name in the device and verify if the names does not start with none alphabetic characters (e.g. @, &, *, etc). This characters will actually stop the sync process and will not be able to successfully complete the transfer of data. Do the same thing with the contact data you have online just to be sure..
If that it still doesn't work, delete your Google account on the device, restart, and then recreate the same account.
Let me know how it goes...

Is there a way to transfer contacts from Mac Address Book to an iPhone?

I tried posting this before but no one answered. I dont currently have an iphone (or any smartphone). I do have a Mac and I have my contacts in the Mac Address Book (not in an email client like Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail)
I want to know if I get an iphone is there an easy way to transfer contacts (names, addresses, emails etc) and especially HOME/WORK/CELL Phone numbers from the Address Book on the Macbook Pro to the iphone....
I would think there's a way to do that since both the Mac and the iphone are Apple products....but no one has been able to give me a straight answer on this...except to transfer contacts from Gmail but my contacts are not in Gmail
So if I get an iphone (or probably any phone) do I have to manually enter all my contacts each time? I thought that it would be easier with an iphone than an Android or other smartphone.

I appreciate the link but wasnt really looking to go through a 100+ page iphone guide. From what I saw, it said what other people have told me - which is it will sync contacts from Google (Gmail) or Yahoo...so that doesnt mean it will sync contacts directly from an Android phone's contact list. All the manual said was you sync thru itunes.
It looks like what I should do at some point is manually input all my contacts into a new "clean and unused" Gmail account...Unless there was an easy way to transfer my Mac Address Book to a Gmail Account.
It seems like if you have contacts in a Gmail account, it will be easy to transfer anywhere.
Im starting to wonder if an Android would be bette than an iphone anyway. Considering the nightmare time Ive had with a Mac in just a few months, Im surprised Im even still considering another Apple product.
Thanks

Is there any way to force a Role Check for authorization from a Ztable

Hi all,
I have an issue that deals with Authorization check using a role. I have to know if there is any way to make a Role force to check if an entry exists in a Ztable.
Eg. A User is assigned a role Z:Ztable_check. Can we now force this Role to somehow check for a particular entry in a Ztable which has a Username and its Corresponding Authorized Cost center. Can the role check from the Ztable and allow the user to view only those cost centers that he is allowed to.
Don't know if this is even theoretically possible.

hi
see if this helps you
<b>The SAP Authorization Concept
Authorization checks are a means of protecting functions or objects in the R/3 System. The programmer of the function determines where and how these checks are made, while the user administrator determines (within the framework defined by the programmer) who can execute a function or access an object.
The terms central to the SAP authorization concept are:
Authorization field
This is the smallest unit against which checks can be made. The programmer can create authorization fields by selecting Tools → ABAP Workbench → Development → Other tools → Authorization objs → Fields.
Example: ACTVT and CUSTTYPE.
Authorization object
An authorization object groups together 1 to 10 authorization fields which can then be checked as a combination. The programmer can create authorization fields by selecting Tools → ABAP Workbench → Development → Other tools → Authorization objs → Objects.
Example: The authorization objekt S_TRVL_BKS groups together the authorization fields ACTVT and CUSTTYPE.
Authorization
An authorization is a combination of permitted values for each authorization field of an authorization object. The user administrator creates authorizations by selecting Tools → Administration → Maintain users → Authorization.
Example:
S_TRVL_CUS1 is an authorization for the authorization object S_TRVL_BKS with the values
for customer type (CUSTTYPE) and
02 for activity (ACTVT).
Users who have this authorization are allowed to change the bookings of all customers.
S_TRVL_CUS2 is an authorization for the authorization object S_TRVL_BKS with the values
B for customer type (CUSTTYPE) and
03 for activity (ACTVT).
Users who have this authorization are allowed to display the postings of all customers.
Authorization profile
An authorization profile represents a simple workplace in the context of authorizations. An authorization profile contains authorizations for the authorization objects a user needs to operate effectively in a restricted task area. The user administrator creates authorizations by selecting Tools → Administration → Maintain users → Profiles.
User master record
Your user master record is checked when you logon to the R/3 system. Through the authorization profiles, this provides restricted access to the functions and objects of the R/3 System. The user administrator creates authorizations by selecting Tools → Administration → Maintain users → Users.
Authorization check
The programmer can perform authorization checks with the ABAP command AUTHORITY-CHECK by specifying the value to be checked for each authorization field defined. The system then scans the profiles in the user master record for the authorizations specified. If one of the authorizations found for all fields of the authorization object covers the values specified by AUTHORITY-CHECK, the check was successful.
Example: Check whether the user is allowed to change the postings of business customers:
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'S_TRVL_BKS'
                ID 'ACTVT'    FIELD '02'
                ID 'CUSTTYPE' FIELD 'B'.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE E...
ENDIF.
If the authorization S_TRVL_CUS1 exists in the user's master record, the authorization check is successful. However, if the authorization S_TRVL_CUS2 exists, but not the authorization S_TRVL_CUS1, the check fails.
Authorization assignment
The system administrator is responsible for assigning user master records with the correct authorizations. You should use the Profile Generator to maintain authorization profiles. However, you can also change them manually. Each authorization object contains authorizations. These are grouped together in authorization profiles such that each authorization profile represents a job description, for example 'flight reservations clerk'. You assign one or more authrization profiles to each user master record. You can assign an authorization to as many authorization profiles as you like, and an authorization profile to as many composite profiles and users as you like. Composite profiles are used in manual authorization maintenance, and form a further division in the authorization structure. However, they are not strictly necessary.
                  User master record
                Auth. profile Composite auth. profile
           Authorization              Auth. profile
             Values              Authorization
                               Values</b>

I cannot sync my contacts from iMac (Address Book) to iPod Classic since iTunes 11 has loaded. Any advice please ?

I cannot sync my Address Book contacts from iMac to my existing iPod Classic since iTunes 11 has loaded. Any bright ideas please ?

I'm having the same issue. I have an iPod Classic 120gb with 2.0.1 and iTunes 11.0.1 on an iMac running Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

Is there any way to force time machine to keep retrying after disk i/o error?

a little background to my problem:
i've had a hard drive problem previously, and i managed get all the data off of my mac by trying and retrying to access the same files and also from my working time machine backup. after zeroing out and reformatting my drive and doing a clean install of Mavericks i had everything back up running no problems.
recently, my macbook pro would be stuck and slow in recently imported iphoto pics so i figured my hard drive is really failing this time around
i try to get a time machine backup to save what i can, but after a couple of tries time machine would just stop backing up and in console i would see a disk i/o error.
is there any way to force time machine to keep trying to backup through the disk i/o error so i can save what i can before getting a new drive?
edit: a little more info, i know i have a harddrive error from looking at the console, but when i do a verify disk in disk utility it comes up clean and even after doing a disk repair it comes up clean i still see disk i/o errors in the console.

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Thee can also be a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.<br />
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is an update.

Is there any way to force iPhoto to present faces by folder for identification rather than randomly? Would provide better context for identification especially if a huge number of images is involved.

Before I commit the time and energy required to load and tag faces in 25,000 images within iPhoto, I need some questions answered;
Is there any way to force iPhoto to present faces by folder for tagging rather than randomly? When so many images need tagging, over many years, the context of a folder helps with the identification. The work around is to load the images into iPhoto one folder at a time and do the tagging then.
How do I get iPhoto to present the tagged faces by last name rather than first name? When so many faces will be identified, it is much easier to find people by surname, particularly when I share the library within the family. The work around is to enter names as last name and first name. Being able to toggle the sort is much more desireable.
Is there a way to export a portion of the library including faces? I want to pass on portions of this huge 125 GB library to my family members.
Since my family members will need an Apple computer to view the images and faces, they will likely have their own photo library. So is there any way to combine two libraries and merge the faces?
About 2/3 of my images have been scanned, so the date of creation is the scanned date rather than the date the photo was taken. Will this mess up any sequencing or the retrieval of faces?

If I want to carve off part of a library, I presume the way to do this is to make a copy of the library using PLM then go into iPhoto and delete what I don't want. The result is the carved off portion.
You don't need Library Manager to delete the portion you don't want.
As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
If I want to merge two libraries, PLM implies that it will do this but will the Faces be merged too?
I believe so.

Is there any way to have a COMPLETE list of all samples and loops ( Logic 8

I'm sure it's been posted previously, but anyway, I'm looking to buy new Apple Loops libraries and I have faced the fact , that many of the sounds and loops produced by third parties manufacturers have been already included in Logic installation discs.
I have a list of Apple Loops DVD's that have been included with Logic somewhere, the problem is, Apple didn't post ( I believe) the credits of all 3rd party manufacturers that have produced these libraries that are included with Logic or Garage band. Is there any way to have a COMPLETE list of all samples and loops that are included with Apple DAW's so I wouldn't duplicate anything ? I'm pretty much positive that Apple had other companies to sound design and sample all libraries for them, so is there also a way to have a list of those manufacturers? Again, the objection is to start upgrading the sound library without any possible duplication?
Thanks in advance!

Chris, I certainly don't mind additional questions and postings.
I believe there are many issues with Apple Loops and Logic that need to be resolved and people need to be aware of that. Unfortunately, in opposite to the old "german" version of Logic , there's no lifetime tech support, you can't even call and ask the question after 60 days , which isn't right for a professional software of this level, especially considering the fact that many things still remain vague in Logic even for developers and tech support people!( believe me, I've called and asked!)
Issues like that need to be resolved over the phone with the company, period!
One thing I also learned over the years as a Mac OSX user, if something doesn't work, don't mess with it. Delete your drive and re-install everything. This is very frustrating , I know, but unfortunately this is the only way to deal with OSX issues, if you got a problem with your system, don't try to fix it. It's never gonna be the same again. I know , it's off the topic a little bit, but if your content is missing from the system files, before installing your new Logic, back up your important files, wipe up your drive and clean install Mac OSX , run updates and then install the Logic. Most likely , everything will be in it's place, at least 90% or more. I gave up trying to make two system in my house to be compatible 100% , but it's OK if they're 90% or more identical. I spent enormous amount of time trying to find out what's missing and where, I visited most of the forums and there's no clean answer.

Is there any way to force purchase an unsupported app?

I'm currently stuck on OS X 1.7.5 since my MacBook Pro isn't compatible with anything more recent than that.
However, I'll be upgrading to a new Retina MacBook Pro very soon and I'd like to purchase an OS X app that requires 10.8, since it's currently heavily discounted.
Is there any way to force purchase it on my 10.7.5 system so that I'll be able to use it when I upgrade to a new Mac?
Thanks!

Is there any way to force Sun C++ Preprocessor preserve whitespace?

Hello!
I'm preprocessing simple source file:
void test()
int i;
}with command: CC -E test.cpp
and CC preprocessor eats all whitespace at the beginning of each line, like this:
void test()
int i;
}Is there any way to force CC preprocessor preserve whitespace?

You cannot use the C preprocessor on C++ code, for at least two major reasons.
1. The default -I options in CC are not the same as for cc. Try adding
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
to your example.
Even if you add the missing -I options, the conventions for finding the C++ standard headers are not known to the C preprocessor.
Example:
% cc -P -I/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/CC/Cstd -I/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/CC -I/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/cc z.c
"z.c", line 2: cannot find include file: <cstdlib>
cc: acomp failed for z.c2. The predefined macros (-D options and predefined macros built into the compilers) are different for cc and CC.
In particular, the C compiler predefines macros saying it is a C compiler. The C++ compiler predefines macros saying it is a C++ compiler. Code that is conditionalized on whether it is compiled by the C or C++ compiler will give different results. If you add -D options for C++ macros, the results will depend on the way the tests are coded. That is, testing for a C compiler or a C++ compiler will not give mutually exclusive answers, as they would if you use the correct compiler. The Solaris headers have conditional code for C and C++.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO FORCE KEY COMMIT

Hi:
Is there any way in forcing when inserting/updating a record in a block to call KEYCOMMIT. For Example, if the user inserted/updated a record and before saving the user may quit the form. I would like to enforce the keycommit trigger to be called when the form is opted to close.

Hello,
Try the following in Key-Exit trigger:
BEGIN
IF :system.form_status = 'CHANGED' THEN
DO_KEY('COMMIT_FORM');
ELSE
EXIT_FORM(NO_VALIDATE);
END IF;
END;

On a large monitor, the bookmarks toolbar is opening outside of the Firefox window itself - is there any way to force it to stay inside?

Recently I installed Windows 7 on my computer, along with a device called a Triplehead2Go, which spoofs the operating system into thinking that the computer has one monitor attached (when it really has three). When the Firefox window is relatively small on the desktop and with excess space to the right, the bookmarks toolbar opens to the right (and extends outside of the window). This creates a problem for me, as the monitor bezels get in the way of navigation. When the Firefox window is all the way to the right of the desktop, the bookmarks toolbar opens inside of the window (as there is not enough space to the right for it).
Is there any way to force this menu to stay within its boundaries?

The screen dimensions are "right," but I don't want it to use up any more space on-screen than is in the window.

Af:fileDownloadActionListener - any way to force new browser session?

Hi all
I'm using af:fileDownloadActionListener to download a file.
It works fine except for one thing:
For some file types it does not open a new browser session but just replaces the existing page content.
That's really ok by itself, but we have a problem if the users presses the browser Back Button to get back to the application.
As we're using partial page rendering and af:region this will result in an error:
Error 403--Forbidden
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.4 403 Forbidden
The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated. If the request method was not HEAD and the server wishes to make public why the request has not been fulfilled, it SHOULD describe the reason for the refusal in the entity. This status code is commonly used when the server does not wish to reveal exactly why the request has been refused, or when no other response is applicable
So my question is: is there any way of forcing a new browser session to open when using af:fileDownloadActionListener?
We're using JDeveloper 11.1.1.1.0.

Tove

Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?

Hi,
I have the applet that renders some data from a file specified as the parameter. The problem is that the user can do something, that changes the input file and reloads the page, but the applet renders old data (from browser cache most probably)
Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?

The initial view (IV) settings within a PDF file are static tags - they can't be made to dynamically-adapt based on the window dimensions,it's the renderer (Acrobat, Reader, or whatever else is opening the file) that decides if and how it will follow the IV requested by the file header.
It would be possible to use a Page Open action on the first page of the file, which does some nasty math with the various doc.*WindowRect objects to work out how much "wasted" space there is, and then set the doc.layout and doc.zoomType properties - but page actions are a different concept to IV as the zoom will reset itself every time that page is viewed. Users don't like their application apparently fiddling with the zoom level without being told to!

Any way to force audio to stay on HDMI?

Any way to force audio to stay on HDMI and not go back to Internal Speakers once the a/v receiver is off?
To explain what is happening in more detail I have a mac mini hooked up to my TV and my computer monitor using an HDMI Distribution Amplifier. This way I can use the mac on my tv or at my desk. For some reason when the TV is shut off or if I switch the source of my desktop monitor to something else. The mac will go back to internal speakers. Is there any way to prevent this? I am assuming this is happening becuase the mac is losing the handshake with the monitor when I switch my source. If that is the case is there anything I can get to put before my DA that will make my mac think that something is always there?
It would be more ideal if I can just permanently set the audio output to hdmi from within the mac itself though.

The only really effective solution requires buying a Gefen HDMI Detective Plus this 'spoofs' the HDMI signal so the Mac thinks it is still there even if the AV receiver is turned off, or disconnected, or switched away from the Mac.
See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
I bought a couple on eBay.

Disc in drive that Mini will not recognize, will not eject. Is there any way to force eject? The computer says it's empty, but it's not.

I have a disc in the super drive but cannot eject it because the Mini does not recognize that it's there. I've tried the eject button on top of the screen and in the dvd player controls. I wish there was an eject button on the machine. Is there any way to force eject?
Thanks.
