Auto complete duplicate last name

I am using Mail (4.2) on Snow Leopard (10.6.2) with a single email account on Exchange 2007. My address book is sync'd with Exchange (250 entries) and 2 entries in the "on my Mac" address book.
for many of my most commonly used addresses (in the company), when I type in the name, I get two automatically completed addresses - 1 is correct, 1 has the last name duplicated.
I have tried, repeatedly, to alter this by deleting the "Previous Recipients" list.
Help.

You're not alone! And, I'm glad someone else is having the same problem. I don't know where to turn for correcting it.
I've isolated it to the way our Mac's Address Book searches for a name that we're taking from an address book on MS Exchange.
I get the same results when the names are populated by Autofill in Mail or Spotlight searches:
John Smith Smith
Jane Doe Doe
Sam Ruben Ruben
etc.
All of these people's contact card looks fine in the address book on the Mac and on Outlook.

Missing Keyboard - Duplicate Last name in contacts - Background randomly back to default

My husband and I both just got the HTC incredible 2. I got the same phone so that we would have a better chance at troubleshooting if anything came up. I still can't figure out either of these.
First of all there is NO keyboard anywhere on his phone. He cannot type anything anywhere, contacts or otherwise. When we go under settings and keyboard, there is nothing listed.
At the same time that the keyboard dissapeared the background on the phone changed from his chosen map design, to the rainbow default background. And we are unable to restore the other one.
Second problem also happened on his old phone, a Gzone Ravine. His contacts will randomly have 2 last names. Ex: John Doe Doe. He will fix it and it will happen to other contacts, or the same one again. Totally random. He believes it is something with the backup assistant. When they transferred his contacts from to the droid with the assitant the problem was not there. However after a couple days the duplicate last names started showing up again.
Has anyone known of a bug or virus attached wiht the backup assistant?
Thanks in advance!

For the first issue it sounds like a call to tech support is in order. Honestly, a factory reset might help but if it's brand new shouldn't need that yet. I would say if you are within your 14 days go back to where you bought it and exchange for a new one. If you are outside of 14 days I would definately say tech support.
As far as backup assistant goes I would check and see what it says for the names on My Verizon. Make sure everything is correct on both sides and then snyc it.
Hope this helps and you get your answers.

Mail 6.2 Duplicate Last Name with Exchange 2010

When I am composing an email my Exchange 2010 domain contacts show up with two last names (eg. John Smith Smith). I've followed the recommendations of a couple different discussions including deleting the Exchange contacts and then re-adding them, but eventually the problem comes back. I've also deleted all previous recipients that had duplicate last names, but the problem persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Jim

This is the sole reason I went out and bought MS Office for osx. I tried to deal with this for the last couple of weeks, but couldn't take it anymore. It may seem minor to the product mgrs in Cupertino, but it's an extremely annoying behavior which keeps this Mac from being able to stand on it's on in the work environment. Hopefully this will get fixed before I have to renew my Office payment.

Duplicate last names when both names in first name field. Keeps repeating.

When I send e-mails/ reply/ forward to people in my addressbook who have both names in the first name field, the name after the space repeats itself in the last name field. Example: John Doe becomes John Doe Doe after an e-mail.
Mail is altering this. I've experimented enough to realise that it has nothing to do with syncs or any other program.
I've seen people have solved this by corretly placing first name and last name in their correct fields. This is NOT an option for me due to the way my Treo works which does not give me the option to organize names by first name. This besides the fact that I have over 500 entries in this manner.
Irrelevant of this detail, Mail should not be altering address book information this way. There are cases in my country where a person has two first names separated by a space, if I know them in an informal manner I have no interest in having their last name or having AB repeat their second first anme then making me search my treo by last name.
I'm going to keep bumping this topic until I find some sort of solution or am given one.

Just ended up taking the time to correct first and last names in their correct fields... screws the view up on my palm, but at least the problem is solved.

Address Book - Last Name Keeps Repeating Itself!!!

This has happened for quite some time, and it affects the vCards of those whom I've sent mail to.
For e.g., the To: field in Mail shows an auto-complete of my name as "Douglas Dielle Dielle".
When I go to the address book, the vCard entry indeed is shown as "Douglas Dielle Dielle".
Address Book seems to be adding the extra last name to the last name field because I don't use that field for my contacts.
I've corrected this umpteen times in the Address Book by removing the last name in the last name field and it's still happening. Cleared the previous recipients list in Mail and it's still happening.
Is there some option in the Address Book that I should take a hard look at?

Reason because Entourage some time back had this problem on filling the fields correctly when synching from my PDA. Filling in only the first name was the way to circumvent the problem.
I don't use Entourage anymore, but have also not altered the name format of my contacts in my PDA though.
Hope Apple fixes this soon! (Mail version: 2.0.5 / 746/746.2)

I dont want my last name to appear in my nickname.

I have a nickname "Shadowhound" but since ive typed my last name for 100% completion my last name started appearing near my name. now im called "Shadowhound Nijs" can i atleast make it disappear by myself or do i need help from an admin?

Restrict the User name / Password Auto complete option for users accessing

My Norton Internet Security, Passwrd and user name auto complete doesn't work in Firefox 4

Since updating to Firefox 4 my user name and password auto complete form Norton Internet security doesn't work.

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Auto generate login name basis on user first initial and last name... LC designer

First initial + last name= login name...
Text field   + text field = text field....
can I use javascript to generate the loginname form first name (first Int) and last name???
For ex... First name: John
             middle int: k
             last Name: Doe
            LoginName: jdoe
var LoginName = getField("LastName").value;
         var FirstName = getField("FirstName").value;
         if (FirstName!="")
         LoginName += " " + FirstName.substring(0,1) + "."
         event.value = LoginName;
not sure if this is right... please help

You guys are both using Acrobat JS notation so you're not going to have much luck.
In LC there's no getField or event.value and values are returned from fields using fieldName.rawValue (or .formattedValue).
I put this on the Calculate event of the LoginName field:
var vFirstName = FirstName.rawValue;
var vLastName = LastName.rawValue;
if (!(FirstName.isNull || LastName.isNull)) { // if both fields have data
this.rawValue = vFirstName.substring(0,1) + vLastName;

Insane XML Import, Huge Project, Duplicate file names work around...

I planned on kicking off my journey attempting to edit a massive multi year documentary on FCPX with a nice introduction of the blog I'm going to keep about the experience, but I've run into a bit of a roadblock, or maybe major speed bump at least before even getting to that point. I wanted to share what is working as a work around for me and you guys can tell me how I'm doing it wrong.
Ok, I will try to explain this as succinctly as possible. I'll write in somewhat stream of consciousness just to try and get through it quicker... Basically, after discovering the work around below, I am now utterly confused on how FCPX handles the relationship between its own database of where media is stored, and the actual media itself. I have plenty experience on FCPX now, probably done 30-40 pro commercial jobs on it over the last year since XML became doable as I'm also a Resolve Colorist and all the FCPX projects where hardcore coloring product spots. For commercial work, I never needed to worry about splitting up footage up over multiple Events. Everything, all in one, FCPX handled it no problem. (well the occasional beach ball, but that seems to be a thing with FCPX in general)
This will be my 10th feature documentary as an Editor. Every one before it was either on Avid's many flavors over the last 12 years or FCP Studio. When this new film came along, I made the decision a few months ago to use FCPX for a few reasons, but mostly because I'm insane and I like to try to mix it up for myself in a career that can get stale quick if you aren't willing to be that way. The film was shot over 2+ years, every shoot was multi cam 5D (yes i know, looks great, but please kill me), I haven't done the math on length, but there is over 10,000 clips of video (this is actually medium in size compared to what I've dealt with before). Its 5D, so theres external audio for everything. FCPX's syncing is great, but I've learned that theres an unsaid window of heads and tales clips must fall within to sync properly with the nearby clips, if they are too far apart FCPX gives up. One shoot day could have 3 cams, 50 clips each, and 2 audio files to sync to, FCPX simply cannot handle this, so off to Plural eyes they went, no problems.
Ok, all this is relevant eventually I swear! Again, in the past, all in one event, no problem. I tried for fun to bring all media into one Event on this film. It worked, but there is a 10+ second spinning beach ball for every single move you make, so thats no good. Ok, I'll separate the Events out to, lets say, each shoot month. Well that's dumb, in verite documentary, any shot could be the first, any shot could be the last, you need a command over all searchable footage at all times. Shift selecting all events to search *****, and it actually takes longer for FCP to reload each event each time than it does to just have the one massive one. So no go there. Next hair brained idea... What if make a new Event that is just Compound Clips of all the other Event's contents and do more with Markers and Favorites in logging that I was planning to parse it all out. That way I'm working with and FCPX is dealing with 50-60 clips instead of 10,000+ Quick test, Cmd-A, Opt-G, boom, boom, boom, move all to dedicated to Event, hide huge Event, BEHOLD, that works! FCPX chokes a little bit on the insane length of some of the clips, but searching, and general performance is back on par!
So your saying to yourself "Ok *********, sounds like you figured it out, what's the problem." Well to you I say, "Not so fast!" Remember, that was just a quick test using the media I had imported into the massive 10,000+ clip Event. To do this project proper, I am having to import Multicam sync'd XMLs from Plural Eyes. And this is where it all starts to fall apart. A little foreshadowing for your eager eyes. 10,000+ files all shot with multiple 5D's over the course of years. What does that mean? many, many duplicate file names!
FCPX as well all know irritatingly imports XML's as new Events, not into existing ones. This obviously takes a lot of burden off media management because with a new Event comes a new database referencing its own version of the raw media. All well and good, and I'm betting its starting to click for some if you advanced users where I'm finally going with this. So I have 50 or so XMLs to bring in, all done no problem. Now I want to replicate that singular Event like I did with the Compound Clip test and have it all in one place to be my master as extensive logging begins for easy searching once editing begins. Highlight the Events, click Merge Events. NOPE. I get a new "Kill Yourself Now" error (a term I coined for Out of Memory and General Error messages in FCP Legacy meaning there ain't much you can do about it): "Two or more files have the same name. Change the names and try again, because I don't know what the **** to do with them." Ok I made up that last part but that's basically what it's saying. Just take the variable out of the equation, this happens with every which way you could try to get the clips together. Merge Events, dragging events on top of each other, dragging just the Multicam clip alone, nothing gets passed that message. What's worse is that while Batch Renaming seems like a solution, the renames do not populate inside the created clips and there is no way to Batch Rename those. Renaming everything at the finder level isn't so great because then I'd have to resync and theres an offline/online thing going here where the film has to be reconformed eventually.
Basically, I've found that FCPX handles media management in completely different ways depending on whether you are importing into one Event yourself or doing essentially what is a new import with FCPX moving or merging Events. If you bring in all the media to one Event, on a macro level FCPX goes through file by file making aliases referencing the master file. If it hits a duplicate, it makes a parenthesis counter, and keeps going. And with the genius of FCPX metadata, that file name doesn't even matter, you can change it at the Finder level and FCPX will keep the link intact. BUT for some reason if you try to do this outside the realm of a single Event and combine files after the fact a different process takes over in creating this database system and can't handle the duplicates. I can't totally figure the reason other than it probably is scared to change the originally referenced alias to something else (which it shouldn't be scared of since Merge Events deletes the original anyway).
This is where it gets INSANE and where I lose all understanding of what is going on, and believe me it was a delicate understanding to begin with. It comes in to play with the work around I figured out. I make the master Event with the 10,000+ clips. Then I import all the XMLs as dedicated Events. Now, I then drag the Multicam clips into the master Event, it WORKS! just takes it, no "Kill Yourself Now" error. Stranger still, now with the switched referenced Event, it even takes into account which aliased duplicate file name it's referencing in the Original Media folder. Somehow, it's taking into account the original file path and saying "Ok, I see 5 instances of MVI_5834.mov. Based on the original file path or maybe creation date or god knows what, it must be MVI_5834 (fcp3).mov." It connects perfectly. I can even remove the old XML imported Event with no problem. Crazier yet, I can now move those again to the dedicated Event I wanted originally that only contains those Multicam or Compound Clips.
So instead of going straight from A to C, going from A to B to C works even though that actually seems way more complicated. Why can't FCPX handle Merge Events and dragging clips the same way it handles media imported into a single Event. And weirder still, why can't FCPX handle the (fcp1,2,3...) appending in the same scenario. But if the appended links are already there, No Problem. And for the love of god, it'd be nice to important XML's into existing Events and make the correct referencing happen right from the get go, which is really the source of all the above headache. I'd have no problem helping FCPX with a little manual pointing in the right direction just like any other NLE needs.
Ok, having said all of that crap above, my question is, have I missed something completely simple I should have done instead? Now that I have everything in place how I originally envisioned, I think I will still play around a little bit more to make sure FCPX is really going to be able to handle this project. I'm at a stage right now where going another direction is still an option, although the dare devil in me wants to make this work. Media management aside, once you start editing on a FCPX timeline, its hard to go back to anything else. Apple is going to have to figure out some way not to access to everything at all times to work fluidly or big projects like this are never going to be practical in FCPX.
Sorry for the long confusing post....

Best practice when using auto complete in view layer

Hello
I have a question regarding best way to store/cash data when using auto complete function in view layer.
I know that there will be a lot of visitors that will use this function and I dont want to kill the application server so I need some advice.
Its about 6000 words that should be searchable .... my first thought was to create a Singleton-bean that stores current items and that I will iterate over but its a lot of "waste" doing that way.
I would be very glad if anyone could advice me how to do this best way if there is any de-facto standard to use when using auto completion in "view layer"
Thanks!
Best Regards/D_S

I dont know what your design is, but here are some ideas:
To me, autocomplete means you have some user specific data that the user entered prevously such as their home address, and some generic data that is not specific to any particular user. I would store all that in a database. For the user specific data I would store their userID along with the data in the database. Then, when populating a JSP page, I would call up just the data specific to that user and the generic data from the database. I would store it as an array of some type in javascript client--side. When the user clicks the autopopulate button, I would have that button call a javascript fuction that reteives the data from the javascript array and populate the various textfields. All this is done client-side so the form does not have to be re-drawn. I question why you have 6000 items. Normally, autopopulate has at most only a few dozens of items. If you still need 6000 items, I suggest adding a textfield to the form to filter what the data he needs down to a manageable amount. Example: rather than get all names from a telephone book, put a textfield on the form that allowfs an end user to enter a letter a to z such as 'b', then only fetch last names from the phone book that begins with 'b'.

Adobe Reader 9 Auto Complete

I have a document that I am trying to fill out. There is a problem with only certain tables. I type something into the line item and it duplicates that info on all other lines in the table. While other tables on the same page are working fine. Any suggestions?
I have already gone into the auto-complete options and removed everything but it keeps doing it.

Without seeing the PDF it's hard to be sure but my first guess would be that whomever created the form named all of those fields with the same name. All fields with the same name will automatically be filled with the same information.
This happens when, instead of creating new fields for each position, someone creates the first field and copy/pastes it into the additional positions.

Awesome Bar: auto-complete suggestion does not remember port number from URL

I visit URLs with non-standard ports all the time such as http://localhost:8080.
When I start typing "localhost" into the address bar, the Awesome Bar suggests only "http://localhost" - i.e. WITHOUT the port 8080 - instead of suggesting the full URL including the port.
I never visit "localhost" without port 8080 so that entry should not even be in my history at all.
The Awesome Bar should always remember port numbers when making suggestions.

Unfortunately that doesn't work. Even with the URL bookmarked, typing "local" to begin the autocomplete still results in the URL being auto-completed without a port number.
Typing the name of the bookmark itself results in no auto-complete at all, meaning you still have to press the down arrow before hitting "return" to get to the correct URL. So you're back at square one.

Weird address auto complete problem in 8.0.2 HP3

I just updated to 8.0.2 HP3 from HP2 last week. I do my address book sort by last name, first name. So when I type in a last name in a new email in WebAcccess, for example, one of my colleagues has the same last name as 3 other users in our Novell Address Book, I used to type,
Smith,
Then I would type the first letter of his first name after the comma and a space, now when I hit comma key, it immediately puts the last name only into the address space and starts a new address lookup. So the only way I can sort through all the "Smiths" is to type Smith and leave out the comma, then hit the arrow key up or down.
Is that functioning normally or is this a bug in HP3? In HP2, I could hit comma and continue typing first name and the auto complete would work correctly. Also, WebAccess agent and app is on SLES 11 SP1.

Mail 3.1 Address Auto Completion is Possessed!

Very strange glitch: Automatically complete addresses option is enabled, and sometimes when I try to add more than one address to the TO or CC field, entering the second name sets off a string of repeated characters that can only be stopped by deleting the entire line of addressing. For example, let's say I type in "Bill" and it auto fills the right addressee. Then I type in a second name, say "Jim" -- what comes up is "jjijimjim jim jim jim jim jim jim jim " Hitting DELETE makes "jim" appear; every key makes "jim" appear. Doesn't matter what name goes in second; it (not 'jim') is repeated.
I've tried turning off this option and restarting but it comes back as long as this is enabled. Mail works without this feature but I LIKE this feature! I can address multiple addresses from the address book function, just not using the auto complete.
Thoughts? Thanks for any suggestions.

I can only confirm that I have the same problem, both in Mail and Address book. It works in Entourage and it used to work in Tiger (at least in the last versions).
When using Address book I get the following console messages when I entered "boivie" as search string:
