Can I clone contact information to speed up the entry of new contacts?

I go to meetings and get business cards from 8 people at the same company. Once I put one contact in, much of the contact information is the same. Is there a way to clone a contact so that I just have to edit the name, phone, and email address so I don't have to type it all in again?

Drag an existing contact from the contact list of your address book to the desktop.
Drag the resulting .vcf file back into the contact list.
Choose to review duplicate.
Choose to keep both.
Choose to import.
Edit the new contact.
Have a nice day.

  • After installing iOS 6.0, YouTube was gone, and can't fine it at app store.  The installation of new updates is never succecessful.  And there seems to be no way that you can stop it.  Why is that?

    After installing iOS 6.0, the previously installed YouTube was gone, and couldn't  find it at app store.  Also, the installation of new updates Can not be completed, they have been in "installing" status for days.  And there seems to be no way that I  can cancel it.  What should I do?

    Thanks, I understand that.  Now the biggest problem is that I can not purchase or install anything from App Store.  They have been in "waiting" mode ever since I tried to install them.  What might be the reason? 

  • Can I clone and time machine backup on the same external drive?

    I recently purchased a WD 2 TB external usb drive.  I want to make sure that I have good backups in case my Macbook decides to give up on me.  Should I clone a copy of HD or just time machine backup?  Can i do both on one external hd?

    You can Manually Backup your iPhoto Library and your iTunes Library to an External Drive without addition Software.

  • I can't update my information to download from the store

    I tried updating my credit card information a few times and now I prompt me to contact apple support
    So here I am

    You are not contacting the iTunes Store when you post in the Communities. These are user-to-user support forums. Go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to contact the iTunes Store.
    BTW, this forum is for questions from people managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. Normally you will get the quickest and most applicable responses if you ask your questions in the general iTunes forums.

  • Can I create vhba of 8GB speed with the card M81KR?

    Hi,
    Please I need your help to know if I can create vhbas of 8GB speed with mezzanine card M81KR.
    Thanks,

    Hi Padranas,
    Thank you for your response.
    I am confusing about it......
    To understand what you said. For example:
    My UCS environment is: Chassis 5108 + 3 Blades B200M2 + M81KR Mezzanine card + 2104xp FEX + 6124xp FI .
    We have 2 SAN switch brocade of 4GB speed by FC port connecting to the UCS FI and the Blade server has the service profile configure to use vhba of 4GB speed, I cannot change this configurations. We want to replace the Brocade SAN swtich by 2 new MDS 9148 of 8GB speed by FC port.
    Can I be able to reconfigure the vhbas on my environment UCS to work with FC8GB replacing the Brocade switch to MDS?.
    Our goal is improve the SAN speed from FC 4GB to FC 8GB.
    We have a EMC stroage that support FC 8GB, but it is running to 4GB, because of Brocade SAN switch.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Can anyone tell me how to speed up the image downloads in iPlanet Web Server 6.0?

    I am running iPlanet Enteprise Web Server v6.0 SP1 and I have a page that has quite a few images and they load extreemly slow. If I load the same page and images on version 4.1 SP7 it runs really fast. Help?

    Just a suggestion: Try using iWS6.0SP2, it has some performance improvements.

  • Can I use a copy of CS3 from the states in New Zealand?

    I believe the answer is yes. This was discussed a lot after CS3 was released.

  • In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards.

    In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards. We enter various pieces of data, other than the standard name address & phone numbers and we print all information on each card so it fits in a 5x7 inch loose binder. We have used InTouch software for many years and it has served us extremely welll, however, the publisher (The Prairie Group) has not, and apparently has no plans to update their software to be compatible with any Mac OSX OS beyond 10.6. Any help will be appreciated!

    You can select what you want included in a list format. In the Print command from Contacts, click the Show Details button. Then in the Style pulldown menu select "Lists" and there you'll be able to select what you want included. You can also select what you wish included if you select the Pocket Address Book style.
    If neither of those options will work for you, then you will need to look to third-party software. Here's one possibility that seems to get good reviews:
    https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15485/labels-&-addresses
    I haven't done more than try it to make sure that it works with OS X 10.9's Contacts, which it does, but you can download their demo and try it yourself.
    Regards.

  • I'm trying to import contacts to outlook 2011 from a cvs file.  I've followed all the steps, mapped the fields, clicked import -- it shows that it imported my 900 contacts --- but the contact field remains blank and I can't see any information.  Help?

    I'm trying to import contacts to outlook 2011 from a cvs file.  I've followed all the steps, mapped the fields, etc.  It appears to import all 900 contacts, but after finishing nothing appears in my contact list.  Any ideas on why this is not working?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • HELP! iPhone 3GS stuck in recovery loop and iTunes gives error message" iPod update server can not be contacted"

    As I said, it's an iPhone 3GS (never jailbroken), iOS 4.1, PowerPC G4 OS X 10.4.11, iTunes 9.2. I have had the phone since new, never had any issues with it and am at my wits end trying to figure it out. I have seen many different solutions to this exact problem, but none have worked for me. Anyone have any ideas?

    This is what I posted to someone else having an update issue... Just for your information:
    I having the same issue about the and iTunes says "The iPhone cannot be  restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could  not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.". I've had the  iPhone  3GS since it came out. It was working fine until I just tried to  update  it. It has NEVER been hacked or jailbroken. WE AND A FEW OTHERS are  having  the same issue then it is more than likely that this is an  update issue.  I took mine to the Apple store and the tech tried to  update it and he came to the same problem and told me he couldn't  update it. My assumption is that we are not the only one's with this  issue and that if  there was a way to update it to the update before  this last one it  might be a solution. I don't know how to get the  previous update. Apple  probably is aware of the problem, and hasn't  come up with a solution yet. Or, enough people haven't complained yet.  The tech suggested that  there might be something wrong with the phone  itself, but that couldn't  be since it was working perfectly before I  updated it and others are  having the same issue. It is highly unlikely  that a lot of people are having the same hardware issue all of a  sudden at the same time. Apple/iTunes needs to fix this... and hopefully soon
    Also:  I can update or restore my iPhone 5 and other iPhones so it is not an  issue with my firewall or other software on my computer. No one touches  my iPhone or my computer they are secure, locked all the time, and I  have no jailbreak software on my computer (Apple tried it and they are  clueless at the moment from what I can tell).

  • Changed Outlook Contact Form back to IPM.Contact - now I can't save contact in Public Folder

    I recently changed the Contact form that we were using back to the default IPM.Contact. I did this so that it  would be consistent for only a few of us had a custom contact template to use and it made it difficult to share contact information. After
    changing the contact default back to IPM.Contact and changing all the contacts to reflect the default Message class, no can add a contact to the Public Folder contact file. I have tried several different setting for the permsion. Publishing Author, Publish
    Editor, Owner, it still gives the error
    The item cannot be saved to this folder. The folder was deleted, or you do not have permission. Do you want to save a copy of it in the degfualt folder for the item.
    When I changed the form back to IPM.Contact  i ran the omglass.exe to change it on all the contacts in the public folder. 
    Please advise for no contacts can now be added to our company contact list

    Hi,
    Please right-click this public folder, click Properties. In the General tab, make sure the field of "When posting to this folder, use" is set to IPM.Contact.
    Please restart Outlook with Outlook /checkclient switch(Start > Run > type Outlook /checkclient and enter) to have a try. If it fails, please create a new Outlook profile to have a try:

  • How Can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail?

    How can I sync contacts FROM my iPhone TO my AOL E-mail? In other words, I want to keep all of my iPhone contact information intact and make AOL "mirror" it (and not wipe it out when I sync thru iTunes).

    The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with Windows Contacts with Windows, and with the Address Book or with the Entourage address book on a Mac.
    If you aren't currently using one of the supported applications on your computer for contact info - the supported address book application on your computer is empty, before syncing contacts enter one contact in the supported application on your computer. Make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data with the supported application on your computer, which you want to select.
    After this, you can export the contacts from the supported application on your computer that is supported for import by your AOL online address book - if AOL includes such an option.
