Contacts closing when viewing some contacts

When I try to view certain contacts on my 3G, the contacts app closes by itself. I can view some contacts with no problem but with others, the screen goes black and then returns to the home screen. I have a feeling it has something to do with the notes attached to the contacts, but I can't find any pattern. Any suggestions?

Thank you for the advice; I found the problem though. The notes were too long in my outlook contacts list that I am syncing with. I am actually having my Act db sync with Outlook which syncs with the iPhone. I ended up deleting all the contacts out of Outlook and off the iPhone. Then I told Act to only sync two of the last customer histories –rather than the 10 that I was syncing. Then I synchronized the contacts with outlook again and then reloaded them onto the iPhone. Now I can open and view many of the contacts that would previously cause the contacts application to close (I haven’t tried them all as there are over 1,000 contacts).

When viewing some websites my desktop background image shows as the page background...why...and how do I fix this?

It seems that the current version of Firefox does not understand how to process style sheets. Instead of the stylesheet background color or image, I am now seeing my PC's desktop background image. This does not happen with IE or Chrome. When checking the error console, I get "Warning: Unknown property 'zoom'. Declaration dropped. Source File: http://trustserve.net/themes/ModernBlue/templates_cached/EN/global.css Line: 4"
I am not trying to zoom.
Any ideas on how to fix this. I can't use Firefox with these problems and I really liked it prior to these problems.

I thought I had it disabled. I enabled aero and then disabled to be sure, and still have the problem, but that was a very good idea. Thanks.
The problem started shortly after I installed two new programs, a graphics program, and an anti-virus. I just removed both programs and restarted the computer and that seems to have solved the problem. Your idea about Aero gave me the idea that one, or both of these programs changed some of my system settings. I am now going to install them, one at a time, and see if the transparency problem returns. I'll post my findings.

Reader locks up IE when viewing Reader Extended documents (Shared Review)

There seems to be a problem when viewing some reader extended documents that have shared review enabled over WEBDAV. This has been going on for quite some time, and I can't seem to find a consistent solution for it. I have had many different clients report the same problem, always within IE.
Here is what happens:
You click a link to view a pdf that has shared review enabled, and has been reader extended.
A gray screen comes up with a progress indicator.
When the progress indicator comes up, the document displays in the background and a "Welcome to Shared Review" window appears.
You click ok to the Welcome window, and the document reverts to the blank gray screen and you are stuck. Occasionally IE locks up at this point as well.
Here's what I know:
The problem occurs when the file is viewed in IE. The problem does not seem to occurr in other browsers such as chrome or firefox.
The problem does not occur when the same file is saved to the desktop and opened within the desktop version of Reader or Acrobat.
The problem occurs with both Reader X and XI
The problem occurs on both Windows 7, and Vista (at least)
The problem occurs on IE 9 and 10
The same problem has occurred on at least 20 computers in 5 different network environments
The problem often times occurs on the second view of a document, and then prevents you from ever viewing it again.
What I've tried
Uninstall IE and all copies of Reader & Acrobat
Reinstall IE
Reinstall Reader
Update Everything
Turn off "Speculative Downloading"
Turn off "Fast Web View"
none of that seems to help
Sometimes i can get it to work temporarily by clearing the temp internet files in IE and then viewing the document again. Sometimes it will then start to display fine, but later reverts to the gray screen.
Any suggestions would be wonderful.

Thanks for the intelligent reply Pat! I was sure that I would receive a comment asking if i've tried rebooting. I'll post back with results asap.

I have a new iPhone 5 and receive the following message when texting some people within my contacts. Message sent using invalid number of digits please resend using 10 digit number or valid short code Msg:2114

I have a new iPhone 5 and receive the following message when texting some people within my contacts. Message sent using invalid number of digits please resend using 10 digit number or valid short code Msg:2114. Online I found a discussion that stated i needed to delete contact and re-add. I have done that to no avail. Any ideas?

I had the same issue with the iPhone 6 and tried everything! I now understand that at some point I stored a number for a contact without including the area code and sent a text message. So, to correct the issue, you must literally "erase" all references to the contact, not just the number. Deleting the contact and entering a new one is not enough because the iPhone stores references to that number in multiple places. The steps below worked and are very simple:
1) On the contact screen, delete everything stored for that number. You can't just edit the contact to fix the problem, so write down or record the info somewhere before you complete this step. Choose edit and then select DELETE to eliminate the entire contact which means home, work, cell, email address, etc.
2) Delete the entire string of messages you sent to that number. That's every single message...
3) Now delete the entire string of invalid 2114 messages you received after your text(s) failed.
4) Finaly, remove the contact from FAVORITES if you saved it that way.
5) To validate that all this worked, simply go to the keypad or contact screen and enter the number associated with the contact to verify successful removal. I used the keypad and dialed to confirm. If the contact number still shows up, you need to go back and recheck your steps. Trust me, I had to do this a few times.
Several posts suggested that you should reset and turn off your phone. After following these steps, it was not necessary for me to reset or turn off my device.
is there a much faster way to achieve the same results? Probably, but this was safe for an iPhone novice and may help you avoid inadvertently deleting other contacts or replacing factory settings that you need.

The scroll function on my mousepad is disabled when viewing a pdf file in firefox version 5.0. The scroll works on the pdf, but not on the other tabs. When the pdf is closed, the scroll function returns to normal. Any ideas?!

Hey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
Cheers again..

I am unable to view some (but not all) videos in Firefox. But I can view ALL videos when I use Internet Explorer. Please help. I do not want to use IE.

as stated, I am unable to view some videos in Firefox, but I am able to view them when I use Internet Explorer. How can I view all videos when using Firefox. Thank you.

That is Flash.
You do have the Flash player installed according to your More system details list, so Flash should be working.

HT201317 When I view photos on my devices some are not oriented correctly. I used Picassa to turn all photos upright and then copied those photos into the upload file but they are still not corrected when viewed on my devices (ipads)

When I view photos on my devices some are not oriented correctly. I used Picassa to turn all photos upright and then copied those photos into the upload file but they are still not corrected when viewed on my devices (ipads)

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Hi Graffiti,
Thanks so much for your resply. I am happy to say that the problem has been fixed by my customer updating her version of Adobe Reader 9 to the latest version. I had sent her a few suggestions on how to try to fix the problem including that one from info I had read on the forum etc.. and that was the solution that worked. I am so relieved that I was able to fix the problem and to answer your question the blank pages were only graphics no text but they were the only pages that the graphics took up the whole page. I thought that was strange and had her change a setting in preferences for printing large images a solution I read in the forum but it did not work.

Some webpages lose all font and layouts. This doesnt happen when viewed with safari

I updated my website using iweb which worked fine previously. Now some of the pages have lost all formatting, the text is large and not as required, some images have been replaced with a repeat of the text. Yet other pages are fine!! All pages are fine when viewed on safari. Ive rejigged and reloaded the site many times but cant resolve the problem. HELP!!

The good news is, the page looks fine in Windows 7.
In case you haven't already tried this, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r (Mac: Command+Shift+r) to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
(WIN) orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced 
(MAC) Firefox menu > Preferences > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Tools menu > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Some album artwork missing only when viewed in tile mode.

Hello, after Restoring to new (to clear up an issue with excessive "other") and updating iPod 5 to iOS 7.1, which corrected issues, I have found an odd glitch with music. Four album covers are missing when viewed in tile mode only. You see them otherwise when viewed any other way, everything plays as it should, it's just there not there in tile view mode, what you do see is black background with white letters telling you the album title and artist name. Have tried powering down, soft reset, Reset All Settings. Going into get info and tapping get artwork. Erasing effected music and syncing albums back into iPod. Erasing entire music library and then reinstalling, and Restore from backup. The same four albums do not appear in tile mode. All effected albums were purchased through iTunes. As far as I know the only other thing to try is the Restore to new, is there something else to try? Thanks.

Sorry Illaass, been there, done that. No joy! Used the suggested method to delete before posting this. (Picked it up from you when you helped someone else with a similar problem-- it worked for them, but not with this one). It's kinda looking like restoring to new? (Please tell me something else... It's such a pain.)

Lower quality when viewing in Preview

I have this issue on a BP with 10.5.4 and also a G4 with 10.4.11., and that is that images in Preview are not the same as viewed in any other app, which all look the same. I'm not talking about the look of colors or symptoms of having mismatched profiles, because the colors and shades are the same. But there's a subtle, though definite, slightly lower quality look when using Preview. I've been through the limited preference options and nothing makes it right.
It's almost as if there's a very slight noise, or unsharp mask artifact, or resolution mismatch (toggling the "respect DPI doesn't make it disappear) though it doesn't appear it other apps.
What's the deal? : )
Thanks.

I'm disappointed that Mail on the mac has not added options to control Marking as Read When Viewing in the Preview Pane. I'm using Mail 3.6 (latest as of July 2009) on 10.5.7, and this is still not supported. I have just finished switching to a new mac from a PowerBook G4 867 which I purchased in 2002, and I moved Entourage v.X (not even 2004 or 2008) app and mailboxes over to my new macbook pro. Then I used Mail 3.6 to Import Mailboxes from Entourage. I also imported contacts to Address Book and calendar items to iCal, etc. Finally I can leave Entourage behind --> Not necessarily.
Entourage v.X and Windows Outlook have had this feature for at least five years. Why has this feature been skipped in Mail all this time?
Previewing a message is not the same as Reading the message. Situation one: I like to use the up/down arrows to scroll quickly through messages, and consider which are the most important. Oops, now they're all marked Read! Situation two: Occasionally I click on the wrong message. Oops - it's marked Read now.
Simplest solution: Provide an on/off control: Mark Previewed Messages as Read - on or off
Richer solution: Provide timer control: Mark Previewed Messages as Read After 'n' seconds: - <n>
At least give us the Simpler boolean solution.
I found several threads on the same topic marked as Answered/Resolved. The workaround of getting rid of the preview pane is a poor workaround compared to what has been requested though it seems to be all we have so far. Admins should close the dangling threads only after posting a note indicating why.
TruePreview was proposed as a solution in one of the threads, but I have not tried that. If others have tried and are happy with it, please let me know.
Thanks...Alan

Unable to connect to Page Server when viewing Crystal Report

Marking "Read" When Viewing in Preview Pane

Hi,
Just upgraded to Leopard... I'm trying to find a way to set Mail so that when you just scroll through the email message list and are viewing in the Preview Pane it doesn't automatically mark the message as "Read". I don't want it to show "Read" unless I actually OPEN the message... Is there a way to do this?!
Thanks!
