Can't Edit Contacts - can't export them to re-import them!

Hi everyone,
After updating my Bold 9700 to OS6 I accidentally synced contacts with Facebook and gmail, causing duplicate entries. Not just a few, but practically every person I know now has 3-7 contacts, and some are even blank.
I'd love to be able to A) export contacts, edit them, and re-import them, OR B) just edit them in Dektop Manager. Of course, it looks like neither option is possible. I can get a *.bbb backup file, but I can't find anything that will edit it. I'm running OS X 10.6.8. Why can't I get a CSV or something?
And yes, I've tried most of the other solutions offered on here, like
Filters - nope, it's all in the main contact list
Wipe and re-sync from an address book - Nope, I've added too many people from work and other places by hand that I no longer have one good source for that
Thanks!

aehm, forgot to mention Windows XP SP2

Strange. I can play all my clips in FCP 7, but can not export them via share, nor submit them via Compressor. What happened? Thank yiou for your kind help, I can not continue my work! FCP 7!

I have put epubs into ibooks and i would like to know how i can then export them to an email or dropbox?

I have put epubs into ibooks and i would like to know how i can then export them to an email or dropbox?

You will have to go via your computer's iTunes. Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases in iTunes (that should copy epubs and/or PDFs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and if using a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in its iBooks app. You can then email them or add them to Dropbox from your computer.

Ernest,
This is how I do it: With all the video & still's in the time line, I click on each (even if I have to use the command key and click on each file). When each file is active I go under SHARE- go to EXPORT MEDIA- I use the Apple Pro Res codec 4:2:2. If you do not click on each file in the time line it will not be exported out.
Hope this helps.

HT204053 I somehow erased all my contacts from my IPHONE, how can i export them from icloud to my phone?

I somehow erased all my contacts from my iPhone, how can I export my contacts from my icloud account from my PC?

joephilipose,
If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

TS2481 Bad instructions for troubleshooting syncing contacts from my experience: going the vCard route as instructed did not preserve all group contacts. However, exporting and in turn importing an Address Book archive (.abbu) worked in place of the vCard

Apple should update the TS2481 instructions.

After I sent this initial post I did some more testing.
Creating a new Smart Group in my now working 10.5.5 address book which has a NOT conditional caused Address Book to lock-up again.
My Smart Group was pretty simple -- 'list all cards that are NOT a member of any group'.
So, the steps in the posting above do NOT fix the problem, they only identify a particular type of Smart Group which will cause a problem and how to get a version of Address Book working again.
I have not gone back and undertaken a thorough set of tests. I am just not going to create any new Smart Groups without first creating an Address Book Archive -- or alternatively overriding Library/Application Support/AddressBook from a Time Machine backup if there is a problem.

Can't drag imovie clips to project window to export them

I just finished interviewing someone remotely where he was recording his video on his mac with imovie. The recording went great but when he tried to drag the raw footage to the project window so he could export them to me, he could not drag them. They just kept bouncing back. He does not need to edit the clips just export them to me. The files are not unusually big. Why can't he drag them to the project window?

Hi
Did he first - in the Project window - create a new project (PLUS SIGN - down to the right) ?
must do that first
then open this new project and drag event clips to it (I keep alt-key down when clicking down on one event clip to get all of it)

Address book? Can't export, can't upload it, can't print it... ***? please

I have tried every conceivable way to export, and or print my address book.
To put it simply, I am creating an eVite. The only way it would upload my addresses, it said, was to create a CSV or Excel file. Can't do it. Well, I could manually type all 30 or so addys into a file, since I can't export them. But at that point I might as well manually type them into the eVite. But, I can't even print my address book to facilitate that process. So now I am faced with flipping back and forth between windows/screens as I do this?
Is there really no way to print this list?
I have gone to Window/address panel/edit/select all/print and all I get is the most recent email out of my inbox printing. I have been though every menu item at the top of my mail and nothing suggests I can export this file. I have opened the address book under Applications and still nothing.

the last download accomplished the job, however, it seems to be only a partial list. My contact lists contains duplicate names: a husband's email and a wife's email--it seemed to combine duplicate names and pick only 1 of the email addresses.
Anyway around this? Other than manually editing the cvs file it creates?
Thanks!

We can't export as .m2ts files?? how can i retain full quality?

so we can import .m2ts files into CS4, we can edit them in CS4, but we can't export them out of CS4?
how can I retain full quality?

i see, well i have the hdr-sr12. you can export to h264 blu-ray, then do the following - NTSC, 1920x1080, framerate(mostly you would want 29.97), Field order: UPPER, Profile: HIGH, LEVEL 4.0, VBR-2-pass: 16mbps target rate with max of 18mbps. After that, export and see how it looks like on VLC or windows media player.

How can I export a single frame as an image?

Hi, I'd like to take single frames of video and use them in printed material. Its HDCAM, from a Sony EX1, edited on FCP 10.1. How can I export them simply?
Regards
Phil

Place the playhead on the frame you want as a still. Then in share window choose location Save Current Frame. You can then select options such as Jpg, PNG etc.

I can't export photos from Lightroom5 to a subfolder on my Mac Desktop

I can't export photos from Lightroom 5 to a ssubfolder on my Mac Desktop. Can anyone help?

Does it give an error message? Or why do you think you can't export them to a subfolder?

Why are my edited jpegs different after export?

I have a really strange problem that I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere else on the web
It's kind of difficult to understand but I will explain as best I can. So my friend and I have just started a photography business and things are going great. I use a Canon Rebel T3i with either a standard, portrait or telephoto lens. I use Lightroom 5 and after I finish editing my photos, I export them and they look lovely in my folder (I have an Asus laptop and Windows 8 if that helps) however when I upload them to websites like Pixieset or Facebook, the quality of the photo looks nothing like the quality I had edited as. The effects, presets and any other adjustments made to my exported photo become extremely dull and it was like the edit was never done. Even at the highest quality, my photos still look nothing like I edited them!
And what's weirder? My friend uses the exact same program, has the exact same OS and also uses Facebook and Pixieset, along with very similar presets effects etc. and her photos look exactly like they have been edited. I don't understand what's up with that!!! And of course just my luck I am unable to insert a screen capture to show you bc it is for some reason not working. But my export settings are JPEG, sRGB, he quality is 100% and the res is 300 ppi and all photos are very cool toned and dull. I have tried different resolutions, different qualities and even different image formats and every single time I still had the exact same problem Very frustrating!! please offer any advice you can, I have tried everything!
Thank you in advance!

I also have an ASUS laptop running Windows-8 (13") but I only use the laptop for offloading memory cards while on the road so I will need to figure a way to test this to see if it is something in the OS, the ASUS hardware or whatever. I will be heading off for the weekend so I won't be able to do this until next week but the problem is intriguing.
You said you did "another screen calibration"; was this done with hardware/software using a calorimeter or done visually using software? I am assuming you used hardware but wanted to be sure. Also, are you starting with a RAW image, doing your edits and then exporting the RAW image as a JPEG or did you start with a JPEG? In theory, it shouldn't matter but Lightroom does handle JPEG and RAW images slightly differently. Lightroom 5 is much better at handling JPEG edits non destructively than previous versions but the changes should have been baked into the files upon export.
I am not familiar with Pixieset nor am I a Facebook user but, from what I understand about how Facebook operates, there is some compression as well as stripping of metadata from the file when you post it. This shouldn't matter since the edits should have been baked into the JPEG already but I have been in IT long enough to understand that sometimes, the smallest change can have major unexpected consequences. From what you stated, this should be working but it's not. I would like to see if I can duplicate it so any additional information about your processes/workflow would be helpful.

IPhoto is not allowing the edited versions to be exported.

Apparently, there is a long-standing issue with iPhoto not keeping the edits once photos are exported. I usually don't test my exports to see if the edited version was exported correctly. I just assume Apple products are working as they should. But I tested today and discovered what so many of you have discovered - iPhoto is not allowing the edited versions to be exported. I can't see that Apple has addressed this. What is going on here? Side Note: I am also frustrated that Apple took iDVD out of their line-up of available preloaded software. Getting more disappointed with Apple all the time.
Has someone figured out how to easily get around this obvious flaw?
Could it have something to do with the preference of importing the photos into the iPhoto Library. Should I uncheck this in the preferences menu? I really only want to use iPhoto for quick renaming of files and simple editing purposes and then export them to my own method of organizing and back-up. I use Photoshop for more extensive editing. Would really like to continue using a simple method, but so far, this simple method is more work than is necessary for Apple's software. Come on guys!!!!!

1 - there is NO " long-standing issue with iPhoto not keeping the edits once photos are exported." If you are doing things correctly it is trivial to export edited versions (or originals if you prefer)
2 - it is strongly recommended that you do not uncheck the preference to copy imported items to the iPhoto library - unchecking this preference makes operation much more difficult and makes upgrading hardware or moving to a new system almost impossible
3 - you are doing something wrong - since you do not tell us what you are doing - or even what version of iPhoto you have - it is impossible to u hfigure out what you are doing wrong
exactly how are you exporting photos? Exactly how are you using PhotoShop for editing?
The proper way to eidt using PS is to set PS as the external editor, edit in PS and save (not save as) to return the edited version correctly to iPhoto? The best way to export is to select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export) - the default is you get the current (edited) version

HT2486 how can I export the contact book data to a csv file for editing?

how can I export the contact book data to a csv file for editing?

You can edit a card right in Contacts. No need to export and re-import.
Select a name and on the right side, click the Edit button:

Can you edit AVCHD movies and then export them as AVCHD losslessly?

As the title suggests, is it possible to create an AVCHD project in iMovie with AVCHD files (1920x1080 60p) edit them and then export them losslessly with a new Imac? I know of only one program that can do that and that one doesn't allow anything other than simple cuts & trims. You can't add music or any sophisticated editing.

No.
