Choosing where to store contacts!

Hi,
Let me just start by saying I feel iOS gets better and better with every new release!
That being said, there is one thing that's really bugging me with iOS compared to Android.
Since I have a large amount of contacts that are purely work related, I would love to be able to filter these out when I'm looking for my personal contacts.
I am fully aware that I canselect different contact groups for viewing, but the problem is that when I add a new contact, it's always stored in the
"default contacts account".
It should be possible to select which account you store a contact in WHEN you create the contact!
There are already a vast number of choices when you store a contact, like what's the adress, social media adress and so on, so I feel that the ability to choose which account you store a contact in should be present as well!
Also, when a contact is already saved, there is no possibility to change which account te contact is stored in! Same problem here, if there was an option in the "edit contact" menu for this, things would be so much easier!
I am certain I'm not the only annoyed by this?

Hi Jak,
You can define your own reports_path variable.
If you know unix a little make a search for the REPORTS_PATH in your <oracle_home>/bin directory.
I think it is in reports.sh
put there the directory you want. eg /applications/reports:$REPORTS_PATH
or you can add a named environment in your reports server engine
this is the <reports>.conf file in your <oracle_home>/reports/conf/ directory
eg
<environment id="Dev">
<envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH" value="/applications/reports"/>
</environment>
hope it helps

Can i choose where to store my music?

Hi,
Im using a PC running Win 7 (dont hate me, lol) and i want to know where iTunes will pull my music from. I have Music in different locations on my PC and want to know where to put it in order to sync with my iPad and get the music on there. Or is it possible to tell iTunes a specific folder to pull my music from? im new to this and iTunes mentions playlists and genres, albums and tracks..were these folders created on my PC when iTunes was installed? Im a little comfumpled..

You can tell your computer's iTunes what to do with your music. On the Advanced tab in Edit > Preferences you can tell iTunes either to copy your music to the iTunes directory on your computer (tick the Copy Files To iTunes Media Folder When Adding To Library) or leave it where it currently is on your computer (untick that box). If you chose the 'copy files' option then on Windows 7 your music will be copied to \Users\username\My Music\ - which is also where any CDs that you copy via iTunes will go and any music, apps, ibooks, films etc that you buy/download from the iTunes store will go.
Then whenever you do File > Add Folder (or File) to Library the contents of that folder (or file) will either be copied to the iTunes folder or it will be left where it currently is - the choice is yours as to whether you want iTunes to keep your music organised in one place (which would make it easier to backup your content to, for example, an external drive).
Playlists and genres don't affect how the music is stored on your actual computer, they just allow you to categorise/display/play subsets of your iTunes content.

Where does iPhone store contacts?

Hello,
I will be in a different country for a few days and I will buy a SIM card from a different operator over there.
Where does iPhone store contacts? Will my contacts stay on the phone with the new SIM card?
Thank you.

Contacts are stored on the device. The iPhone does not store contacts on the SIM. Make sure you have been backing up the device and syncing your contacts with a supported application on the computer or iCloud or other cloud service. Changing the SIM will not affect your contacts.

How I can restart the osx update... CAN YOU HELP ME !!!
Chris from Aachen, Germany

Boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
First run Disk Utility Repair Disk, if you get errors run until no errors reported or reports "the disk cannot be fixed". Then, choose Reinstall OS X. This will be an install "in place" and shouldn't effect any of your own data or settings.

I cannot select sync for contacts. I had a previous issue which suggested I reset sync history now I can't select an email account or where to sync contacts.

I cannot select sync for contacts. I had a previous issue which suggested I reset sync history and now I can't select an email account or where to sync contacts. I check the checkbox but no email accounts are present to select. My iPhone4 has all the contacts & mail account and runs ok.
Part of the solution to the previous problem was to delete (really I moved it) the contents of the backup folder. Now I get this message "iTunes was unable to load data class infromation from Sync Services". I moved the folders and files back and it did not help.

An alternate email isn't a rescue email, and it isn't possible to add an actual rescue email without correctly answering two of the questions. If you're desperate enough, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit to it.

I have a file where I store my download music. When I click on "add music" to my ipod my music file opens, but rather than have to drag one song at a time to my ipod, how do I copy the entire file at once to my ipod. - steve

Hi - I have a file where I store my downloaded music. When I plug in my ipod and click on "add music" my file appears. Rather than drag one song at a time, how can I download the entire list at once? - steve

I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes. I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format. However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there. I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC. I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files.
Thanks for your help, Mel

Are there any dialog boxes popping up behind your Yahoo screen?
I have intermittent problems attaching files in Yahoo mail and this is usually the reason. I'm also using an iMac (10.7.3) and this is likely the problem.
It is generally a Yahoo issue rather than a Mac problem.

Where are my contacts?!

This used to be real simple.....
Ok I was having a problem with my iPhone not syncing my music properly so I was advised to to a restore which I did. I did it as a new phone, not from the back up.
I now can't find any of my contacts. I thought the iPhone automatically backed up. I was backing up to my computer. I found my address book on my computer and it has one contact out of 100....sigh... I have numerous back ups of Time Machine and manual ones but I can not find a file that has the past 3 years of contacts.
Thanks for any help,
OK I was able to download all my contacts from Gmail but just want phone numbers and there are many I don't want at all. How can I edit and now back up these contacts on my Mac so I have a secure copy somewhere I know?
Warren

"Right...but a back up is a back up...it should still exist...right?"
No. Itunes generally keepos the past backup. Contacts aredesigned to be synced to your computer. I'm not sure that they are backed up at all, *** you should be syncing them to your computer.
"I have not "not" been backing up which is what confuses me....did I have to make a conscious effort to back up everything? Used to be the default?"
Backing up and syncing are not really the same. You should never have any information in only one place ( e.g. your contacts should never just be on your iphone). The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer. You would have to make these selections when you set up the iphone sync.
"Asuming I some how decided NOT to back up how would I do so now?"
Where are the contacts now? If you do not have them anywhere, then they are gone. Have you tried to restore from backup?
"Do I have to do a complete back up or can I restore bits and pieces like an address book?"
No. It is all or nothing.
"Backed up" is not accurate. Your contatcs should live on your computer and be synced with your iphone. You should also back up your entire computer regularly.

In Mission Control, why can I not choose where a new fullscreen window is placed (left side vs. right side)

This is more of a wishful post that I hope an apple developer stumbles across and thinks is a good idea to put into a future OSX Lion update.
My wish is that when I fullscreen a new app (like safari, chrome, mail, etc.) I can choose where it adds the new space, either to the left of my existing spaces (between desktop and leftmost fullscreen app in mission control) or to the right side, which is what it does now. I've turned off the option that automatically arranges my spaces based on frequency of usage because I was getting annoyed at things not showing up where they were previously when swiping between spaces. Anyway...

Thats a SQLite-DB? Is it possible to access and export them? I´d like to use that Db to assign thumbs to files on my NAS.
Thx!

Are the thumbnails & icons stored in the .DS_Store-File?
When visible, how can I access the content stored in that file?
