Contact details in wrong order - am I the only one?

I use an iPhone 3G and sync it with my Macs using MobileMe. All software is up to date.
One thing bugs me since I have an iPhone:
The contact details are in a different order than on my Macs. They are even different for different contacts.
Example:
Contact 1 on Mac: 1. Mobile number 2. home number 3. work number 4. pager
Contact 1 on iPhone: 1. home number 2. work number 4. pager 3. mobile number
Contact 2 on iPhone 1. work number 2 home number 3. mobile number
This is really anonying. I wonder if I am the only person with this problem? I use the german language on iPhone and on my Macs.
I know that in the Mac Adress book I can set the order of the various contact details and that works very well. But not on the iPhone.
I do not so much care about a particular order, I just want to have my contacts in order. It is very difficult to quickly dial somebodys number when you first have to look where the mobile number is hidden.

hi,
I tried something new and i found it interesting. in Address book under Edit menu you have "Edit Distribution List". you will see three columes;"Group, Name and the third one on which you can click and change it to the phone. then you can click on the desired number which turns to bold and that will be the default number for that name. you will encounter a conflict when a name has assigned to different groups so you should check that name for each group.
Let me know your feed back.
Happy New Year

  • I reinstalled my mac os x, and anytime i try to update my software its asking me for an administrators name and password, i enter it and it comes back wrong, and that is the only one i have, i have been to keychain but it does not make any sense to me,

    i have just reinstalled my mac os x, in fact yesterday, i have not been able to update my software or change anything at all, i try to do a software update and it is asking me for an administrators username and password that was not happening before, i enter the username and password i created and it comes back wrong, its driving me nuts, been to keychain but unable to figure it out, its asking for a system unlock and i have no clue what that is.
    am desperate.

    Stick the 10.6 disk into the computer and reboot holding the c or option key down, select the disk to boot from.
    In the installer menu is a Utiltiies menu and a password reset.
    If you don't remmember the name, reboot the computer holding the command and s keys down
    a black screen with white type appears, when it's finished, dbackspace any extra ssss you have made and then type
    ls /Users
    (that's Larry, Sam, space, slash, Users)
    and press return, a list of user names on the machine appears
    type exit and reboot and use the 10.6 disk to reset your password

    Thanks, it seems that it doesn't like to play games, which is a bit of a bummer as i bought this specifically because it was capable of doing that.  To be fair, it is capable... I just need to get used to a sound like sitting by a washing machine on spin cycle...  Wish they would make people aware of this in the Apple Store, its very misleading and not at all desireable.

    My texts have stoipped getting through to one of my contacts. I can phone him and I can receive his calls and messages. I am the only one of his contacts whose  texts are not getting through. We have both restarted our iphones but the problem continues.

    Have you talked to your carrier (or your friend to his)?  Could be an issue at their end.

  • Create a Contact on an address book other than the default one

    Hello everyone,
    I am using a professional address book and calendar on exchange provided by my company. I am also using my iCloud account to manage my personal address book and calendar. I have set up my iphone 4S to display both address book and calendar, this works well, same for the sync mechanism.
    When I create an event on my iPhone using the standard calendar app, I can simply indicate whether it is a personal or professional event.
    When I create a contact using the standard contact app, there is no way to indicate wheter it's personnal or professional. The contact is created on the default address book that I setup in the settings. The only way I found is to hide all categories except the personal one and then create the contact. It is then created not on the default address book but on the only one displayed. It is rather awkward and that does not solve all problems : I have some contacts already created by mistake on my professional address book that I want to move to the personnal one. I found absolutely no way of doing that. The same thing for calendar events is straightforward: open the event for modification, simple toogle the appropriate field from Pro to Personal and you're done.
    Does anyone have a hint for this ?
    Thanks,
    Cyril

  • Am I the only one with these various problems...??

    Hi all,
    I start my first post and introduction ever on this forum with a imposing problem with Aperture 3.03
    I just did the upgrade to Aperture 3 & 3.03. Coming off Aperture 2, I was able to rotate, crop and do all the things I wanted by just placing the pointer while clicking, holding, and moving all at the same time with no issues. With Aperture 3.03, no such luck. I've noticed that now if I want to rotate an image or even crop an image the first effort to move anything is ignored. It shows all the signs of being ready to move something, but nothing happens, nothing moves on first try. If I stop the click and place click the second time it is responsive as usual....What gives???
    Here is another issue. Cropping is all over the place and never right on the first try. Even if I have a set aspect ratio it does not provide me with the one I selected. I'm always getting the wrong aspect ratio even though the right one is selected. If I pick "Master Aspect Ratio", I get a variable ratio instead of a fixed ratio??? If I click again it changes again. This program is not stable!!
    One other thing has anyone noticed that you cannot use the arrow keys to move from one picture to another after editing the photo?? It is happening to me. If I complete an edit and want to move to the next photo, the program will not respond to key commands in any way. I'm forced to return to Browser mode and even then it seems hit or miss whether is responds to key commands again. navigating seems to be a big impediment when actively editing.
    So, am I the only one with these problems???
    Lets hear your story...
    Note: just installed the newest stability update for Snow Leopard/Aperture 3 just made available on August 18, 2010. No change...

    I don't see any of these issues! You have listed several, disconnected issues. Perhaps you should pick one of them, and give us a blow-by-blow of your action steps.
    For rotation, click that button at the bottom of the View window, and then use one of the [ or ] bracket keys as listed for direction.

  • If a buddy's screename is faded (in the offline section), but a video icon is still next to the screename, and if you right click on the name "video chat" is an option, what does this mean? it is the only one on my whole list that has this.

    Hi,
    It could be some sort of "flagging" issue where either the AIM Servers have gone out of sync and you are getting two lots of info  (There are about three or four servers involved with getting data to your Buddy list)
    I can also see the possibility where you have a Contact in your Address Book who has two Screen Names.
    You have one in one group and in another they appear to be Off Line.  However iChat will still Link them and Show their Capabilities when you Right Click.
    One way of checking this is to double click them to open a Text Chat Window.
    At the top is the Recipients Bar  (See View Menu when  Text Chat is Open).
    This gives you the option to chose a different Buddy Name if the contact has two  (It offers To and From options if you both have Multiple Accounts).
    Pic of an Old Chat to someone with Multiple "Names"
    They have an @Mac.com name and  Jabber ID  (As it is an Old Chat the Jabber one is Off Line and their @mac.com name is currently "Away"
    You can see I have a Google and three AIM Logins I could use to Speak to them.

  • How to make sure I'm the only one who can manage my airport base station using airport utility?

    I know we have to use the Airport Utility application to manage the Airport base station in order to create a new network, creating the SSID and chosing the encryption mode and setting the password but how I could be sure I'm the only one who have access to those settings? A user of my network can install the Airport Utility application and change those settings. With other routers like D-Link, to have access to the settings you need to know the admin password to modify the settings. I can't figure out how we can do this with Airport Extreme base station. It's maybe obvious but I'm in the cloud for the moment.

    You can set a base station administrator password in order to limit who can administer the base station. With AirPort Utility v6.x, you can set this password on the Base Station tab.

  • I downloaded Yosemite last night but when I tried to update iPhoto, I got an error message stating that that app and several others couldn't be updated because they weren't paid for by the user id entered. I'm the only one who uses this computer.

    I downloaded Yosemite last night and tried to look at my photos in iPhoto and noticed that needed updating. When I tried to update as requested, I got an error message stating that the app (and several others including Pages and Numbers) couldn't be updated because they weren't purchased by the user ID I had entered. I'm the only user of the computer and now I can't find my photos anywhere! Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Some folks have solved this issue by dragging the apps to an external disk, then disconnecting it, and then are able to download. Apparently it can arise if you upgraded from an OS the than Mavericks.
    Failing that: Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

  • VBScript does not retrieve Member details if a Distribution/Security Group have only one Member

    Hi,
    VBScript does not retrieve Member details if a Distribution/Security Group have only one Member. I have tried several Scripts even changed the coding in it, also tried few External Script by created by other Scriptor's. Any suggestion on why this is happening. 

    Perfect... Thank you. I reworked on the Script and it is showing up. One more info required. I know my script is having another bug. Can you help me getting the member list of a User Group. When i pull it retrieves all the Group info for a user
    but no "Domain Users" Group.
    Sorry for the lame humor but it was getting late.
    As for you new request.  I do not understand what you are asking. Can you post your script and any error messages you are getting.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Am I the only one with a dispatch date 19th July?

    I did order on 19th June anyone else waiting this long?

    I went to the Apple Store on launch day and bought my iPhone 4. No reservation, just went in and bought it. Much easier than pre-ordering. Enjoy the iPhone when you get it. iPhone 4 is excellent.
    Oh to answer your question, it's unlikely you are the only one with a specific date. If Apple were allocating one iPhone per pre order per day, the backlog would take until iPhone 26 to get through.

  • Am I the only one who hates iMovie 08?

    I just bought iLife 08. AM I the only one who hates iMovie 08? WHat happened to the timeline? what happened to the titles? What happened to being able to adjust the audio frame by frame....guess it was just Apple's way to get us to buy Final Cut Express which I just did.....
    Is it just me, or was iMovie 06 better and easier to use???

    Most owners of iLife 08 I know use iMovie 06.
    iMovie 08 is a wonderful program assuming that you're using it for what it was designed to do, assemble simple videos to share on the Internet.
    I use both iMovie 06 and iMovie 08 (iMovie 06 about 90%, iMovie 08 about 10%).
    I do find that iMovie 08 is "feature reduced" and not as DVD friendly compared to iMovie 06. iMovie 06 is "timeline based", iMovie 08 is "clip based". The lack of a true timeline in IM08 is hard to get used to for some.
    It is true that you can make a DVD using iMovie 08 but I find it to be harder. iMovie 08 has replaced "Share to iDVD" with "Share to media browser". Also iMovie 08 cannot set chapter markers, this has to be done with another program.
    iMovie 08 is NOT an upgrade of iMovie 06. It is a completely new application. iMovie 08 is better for absolute beginners that don't want to burn a DVD. Most others will like iMovie 06 for its far greater editing power and ease of making DVDs. (Like creating Chapter Markers and Share to iDVD.)
    Remember that Apple includes iMovie 06 as a free download to iLife 08 owners. (They want you to have it.)
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
    Much has been written about the differences between iMovie 06 and iMovie 08. I have found the below link to be helpful.

  • The track listing is incorrect on the REM Warner Bros. Box Set. However, no-one appears to be doing anything about it. Do iTunes or WB even know it's incorrect? Am I the only one who's noticed?

    the track listing is incorrect on the REM Warner Bros. Box Set. However, no-one appears to be doing anything about it. Do iTunes or WB even know it's incorrect? Am I the only one who's noticed?

    Don,
    To be a good citizen, you may wish to contact Warner Brothers and alert them to the error.  That will allow them to verify it, and advise the iTunes Store (as well as other music download stores) of the corrections.
    You also have the option of advising the iTunes Store directly via their feedback page, but be aware that Apple is unlikely to take a fan's input to overrule info that they received from the label.  So contacting WB is probably more effective.
