Contact sharing in OS 3.0 - privacy issue?

It's great that "Contact Sharing" is now available in 3.0, but how do I select which fields in the contact info I wish to share??
From what I can tell, the default setting is to send everything (including the notes field) which strikes me as absurd!? I make notes on almost every contact in my address book which are very personal and clearly I would be unlikely to want to share these... what i want to share is just name/phone number/address etc.
Is this just an oversight or am I missing an obvious piece of functionality??

hmmm, so it's an inherent limitation of using the vCard protocol? shame, it kinda makes it unuseable for me.
are you saying that you keep an edited duplicate of every card in your address book with minimal info solely for the purpose of being able to send them via vCard should the need arise?
if so, wow. that's quite a workaround...
i think i'll just find a paid app that allows me to edit the info i send.
Apple, if you're reading this, it would be great if you could figure out a way to have an option to trim the notes field from vCards before sharing them - this would be the optimal solution.

  • Adobe Photoshop touch to Mac and back without adobe cloud costs & privacy issues.

    How do I transfer files between Adobe Photoshop touch and my adobe creative suite applications on my mackintosh computer? I do not want to pay for additional adobe cloud services. In addition I have concerns over the privacy of adobe's cloud for certain images. As a retired plastic surgeon, I have used Photoshop for years to help with public and patient education. Final posted images can have privacy concerns addressed. I do understand that I can transfer a single layer from Photoshop touch back to the computer by mail or camera roll. procreate has a Photoshop export tool.
    Where is Photoshop touches export tool? if the only tool is through the additional monthly charges of the cloud, you are alienating loyal Adobe customers.

    Thank you for your help. I have finally figured out and shared my first image. The fear was that I was going to be charged a monthy fee just by using the service. It would be nice if there was a footnote with something to that effect. All I was seeing was the monthy and yearly fees.
    Finally found this, boy it was burried.
    What happens to my files in the cloud if I cancel my membership?
    If you cancel your paid membership you will still have access to the free level of membership, which provides 2GB of storage. You will have a 90-day grace period to delete files to get your cloud storage down to 2GB (or to purchase additional storage separately if you choose). If you leave more than 2GB of files in your cloud storage for more than 90 days, you may lose access to some or all of your files.
    Can I access Adobe Creative Cloud without being a paying member?
    Yes, there is a free level of membership for anyone who wants to explore Creative Cloud before committing to a paid membership. To sign up for a free membership, go to www.creativecloud.com and follow the instructions to get started.
    What do I get with the free level of a Creative Cloud membership?
    The free membership will provide you with access to powerful file syncing and sharing features, 2GB of storage space, free levels of Adobe services, and access to 30-day free trials of all CS6 applications and other Adobe desktop applications, such as Adobe Edge preview and Adobe Muse.
    I will now try to figure out the privacy issues next. In the non public folder, who other than myself has access to sensitive photos? Trying to read the leagal documents is quite confusing.

  • Yosemite Messages App - Privacy Issue?

    Hi
    I searched for this problem and have not found it posted before. Sorry if its a duplicate.
    I have noticed a potential privacy issue with the way the Yosemite Messages app manages group SMS messages. I received an SMS on my iPhone from a non Apple user and on my phone it appears as normal sms in this contacts historical message listing. Ok nothing special.
    However on the Messages app on Yosemite this message appeared in a separate thread as a group conversation with Messages exposing all the recipients phone numbers that also received the SMS from the original sender. These recipients are not in my Address book or contacts list? This is not normal behaviour on the iPhone as you don't see who else received the SMS?
    Another issue is that replying to message in this group message actually SMS messages ALL recipients and not just the original sender. The original sender certainly had not intended to share their entire recipient list with me.

    Hi,
    I would tell them. http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • When I run Advanced System Care by IoBit I always get many privacy issues that need to be removed from my computer and I would like to have Firefox stop this.

    I run Advanced System Care 7 by IoBit on my computer daily. It always finds dozens if not hundreds of privacy issues caused by FireFox that need to be removed. I would like to continue using Firefox but will uninstall it if the program keeps causing so much clutter on my machine. I have a Compaq Presario F730US running Vista Home Premium. I do not want FireFox to place ANY cookies or other items on my computer.

    So first off, Advanced system care is a piece of junk. It does nothing to improve computer security or performance, and can actually harm your computer. I strongly suggest you remove any iobit products immediately and find a real anti-virus.
    Second, cookies can be controlled. They aren't placed on your computer by Firefox, but by websites. You would find that no matter what browser you use you will have cookies from websites you visit.

  • Privacy issues with Reader

    I work in a library.  I cannot get Adobe Reader to show 0 file names.  It retains 1 file name -a privacy issue for library patrons. Does anyone know how to change or edit this? Thanks.

    Thanks for the suggestions Jim.
    We are continually working to improve our iOS Reader, and we should address several of your requests over the coming year, as well as bringing many other things out. I can't reveal a lot right now, but stay tuned!
    Regarding item 6, you are correct. Due to the way that iOS works, there is no way for the Adobe Reader to read or write directly from another app's location, or to remove files from that other app's folder once they have been sent to the Adobe Reader.

  • Variable Privacy Issue

    This is my first post so hi to everyone.
    In my program I need to keep the value in some variables when it leaves that class. For example I am running a menu class which gives options. When an option is selected I go to that class and run it. However the values put in the variable need to be stored and kept so that they can be added to in other classes from the menu.
    To do this I have done:
         private static String wordArray[];
         private static int arrayLength;
    which allows me to keep the values and add to them.
    My question is will this be a privacy issue? Or are they any other issues that will make my program a security risk from doing this?
    If so does anyone have any suggestions about others ways to do this? Thanks alot.
    P.S: The values only need to be kept for that run of the program. Not stored after the program is quit.

    For offsets instead of creating 12 different selection you should give range.
    e.g. variable-12 to variable
    Restrict -> value ranges -> between
    Then select same variable in both from and to input boxes.
    Once you transfer it to right and select the offset, it will ask offset two times.
    One for - from variable
    next for - to variable
    Select -12 and 0 respectively.
    It should give you prior 12 period offset.
    It will increment/decrement according to values of master data. So if you have master data fro 13/2008 then only it will go to that period, otherwise 01/2009 will be selected.

    This has worked fine with MobileMe with only a couple of minor glitches in the past.
    Any experience doing this the "right" way?

    I clear my laptop with A S C programme but latest review identified 118000 privacy issues in less than one day. This is a regular problem. Needless to say this overall issue slows my computer down until I clean it up again. The programme I use identifies the privacy issues are down to Mozilla profiles.

  • IOS 8 contact sharing

    My wife and I have one set of contacts which we share for family business and work. The new iOS 8 does not allow us to share contacts across different Apple IDs. Since contact sharing is so important to our lives, family, and business, most of the family sharing options are worthless to me since we cannot share contacts. Is there anyway to share contacts across different Apple IDs. Currently we are using just one Apple ID for the new iOS 8 system. That pretty much makes find my friends worthless to us.

    With iOS 7 you would open your camera roll or album, select the photo you wanted, click on send as a message, then it would take you to the text screen where you could see the photo being sent as it asked you for the recipient's phone. Now when I click on send as a message it takes me to the text screen, but as you can see, the photo is not attached. Same thing with a contact…I can click on "share contact as a text message" but when it takes me to the text screen, nothing is attached.

  • Hey Siri privacy issue

    When you ask "Hey Siri, what is my phone number" when the phone is locked, Siri will pull up all your phone information. This is a privacy issue.

    Based on the quality of his post, I think he could have figured that out.
    Considering how easily one can reset passwords with SMS codes, which would appear as notifications, it certainly is a privacy issue.
    Notjarj1 is clearly making his contribution to the improvement of iOS. I don't know what you're trying to do.

  • Privacy issues for end user

    The interactive form I have designed will be completed by people who are very conscious of their privacy. I imagine that most of them will not be happy to email their data, as this leaves easily found "breadcrumbs" on their computer.
    Is there any way this data can be sent without going through the email process? Would submitting to a URL overcome this problem, or are there other "privacy issues" for the end user which may come into play?

    Thanks Danmaster - after investigation I find I have been using SOAP for some time now. I've just never been conscious of its acronym. So if I have been communicating between applications using a communication protocol I have been using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol).
    I am starting to think I'm really clever now.
    Just because I have been submitting forms through http and then using CGI scripting on the server to convert and email me the results, I never thought that SOAP was such a vital component.
    So perhaps the LiveCycle Designer will just allow me to create automatically what I have been hard-coding for years.
    I really should have asked that "if the client submits via http through the LiveCycle form, will they be shown any hints that the data has been submitted".
    Cheers

  • Error message with pics and contact sharing

    all text messages that include a photo or a contact sharing info come across with the message" you can visit my text message at www.mms.... or something to this extent. MMS is turned on and I am using a 3gs iphone with the latest update

    If you are in the U.S., your iPhone is running the current firmware and you have installed AT&T's carrier update for the iPhone which is required for this - done via iTunes, contact AT&T customer or technical support to check if MMS is provisioned for your line/number.

    If you don't have a SIM card in the phone, you must put one in. It's required for activation.
    If you do, then your phone was probably hacked to unlock it from the original carrier. Contact them and see if they will unlock it. If they will not do so, then you can't use that phone.
