Corrupt card template HELP!!

Ok here is what is going on:
In my address book i have all 200 of my contacts etc. There is a problem now though.
My card template is corrupt.
The physical address is now gone from the template and I can't get it back. So I have numbers, email, messengers and all the other fields yet the address will not show up in the card. When I look on my ipod the addresses are there so i know they are in the data but not showing up.
I have gone into the address book preferences and here are the two things i noticed.
1. under the "template" I cannot add the address it is already greyed out like it is already being shown, however i know it is not.
2. Also under the "general" tab, i cannot select any sort of address format it is locked on something called item3 and it will not change I can't even get a pull down. the other sortby and fontsize pull downs work but not the address format.
I have already tried dumping the preferences file, and restoring all of the contacts from time machine but no go. Does anyone know where this template is located and if I can "reset" it?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

in the past i have had success in rebuilding the address book database when i had a problem with searching for example. i do not know if that would help with your issue, but that issue strikes me as a database issue too, so that is why i am bringing it up here.
here is what i do: first i quit address book, then for safety i go to the homefolder/library/application support/address book and i copy/back up that folder somewhere else, then i go back to that folder and locate the file addrssbook-v22.abcddb and trash/delete it. once that is done i launch ab again. you may want to try this and see if that helps your issue.
let me know.

  • Flash Card Template Help

    Hello, I need to make "flash cards" for a final project. However, when I try to download a flash card template it will not download on the my computer because it is a mac. What I am really looking for is a template or something that I can put into word and then print off because this project has to be like a game. I was going to use this template so that all the cards were equal size and the project did not look like it had been put together in 5 minutes. What would the best option be? Thank you!

    Looks like you downloaded a Windoze app. Try this one. http://www.loopware.com/iflash/

  • Is there there more than one lame birthday card template somewhere?

    New to iMac. We have Pages not Office. Daughter needs to make a birthday card. "Daddy, can you show me how to do it on the MAC?"  Sure honey, Its probably just like you did on the old computer. WRONG!  "Daddy, is that the only birthday card they have?  That's lame"   Yes sweety, it is.
    Is ther a place where I can get some more templates?  preferrably some that are twice folded cards so they don't need an 8.5" envelope
    Any help is appreciated.
    PS I would be embarrased if I put out software  like this.

    Although you posted this in the iWork for iOS forum, it appears that you actually have the desktop version, so I'll answer in that context.
    It looks to me like Pages includes two lame birthday card templates. In addition, Pages can usually open templates for Microsoft Word. A Google search brings up lots of templates availlable on the web; most of them are probably lame.
    All a template is, really, is a formatted document. If it is the right size, the lame content or lack of variety don't matter because you aren't supposed to keep that content; it's just a placeholder for something original of your own.

  • My RAW images get corrupted after downloaded  HELP

    Hey anyone, and if you do not know why this is happening, please pass it on.
    attached in an image I was looking at in LR, this same problem has occurred in Bridge. while looking at images all of a sudden part or all of the image goes into psychedelic colors as seem in the lower rt side. anything from a line thru the middle of the picture to the total image with all sorts of mosaics of color this has been happening for may years. a forum told me I had a corrupt card reader, another said something to do with the computer. so to put this in perspective.  i have used many different card readers, two different computers.  two different operating windows systems. original was XP and new one is windows 7.  this image was not copied from one computer to another so it is a new image downloaded into the newer computer.  Once in a while when I open the image it reverts back to the image without the wiierd  colors in it. If I bring it into bridge the same things happen in corruptions .  I have lost images from many years ago in bryce canyon to this issue . 
    Once the image is saved in a different formate , JPG< PSD, Tiff. etc it never corupts. ONLY the RAW files corrupt and DNG.   for a while I started shooting in both JPG and RAW just to have a back up.  two different cameras, many different card readers. many cards. still happening.  any help would be appreciated , have not found anything on the adobe forums.  if you have no idea could you pass this one to friends , need a solution,  for a while I backed up all the images when downloading directly to a hard drive without going thru LR or photoshop just to have a replacement. that just gets crazy to do after time.
    As you can see on the lower left there is crazy stuff going on. sometimes it is the total image corrupted.
    PS , if the two forums , fred miranda, and lumosity landscapes , do not have an answer, please help me find one.  it is horrible to loose images from years ago much less last wk to this issue. 
    BTW this does not happen on my old Vista laptop,  thanks for helping in advance.  steve

    thanks,
    last option not viable, LR or PS  really can not be replaced, I could live
    without LR , have had it since version 1 release think 2007ish.   It was
    mainly a way to keep track of ones images via search words .    good idea,
    since this was difficult pre-digital with tons of negative.
    I use it for down and dirty qucik editing to post something on G+  or FB
    but not for final editing.   RAW thru PS is where I do that and then into
    PS .
    If my wife would not leave me I would switch to Mac. not happening as a
    hobby at this time.  my guess is a freaking RAM issue or operatting system
    that maybe when I transfered my images from the old computer to the new I
    carried some type of bug with the transfer to the new computer.  but that
    is reallllly reaching.
    Adobe has not been helpful in the least, but that is not new.
    you are only one of two people to give some advice, very appreciated  and I
    am about 98% that your suggestions are correct.

  • Baseball card template

    I need to create a template to make 9 baseball card size cards on each page. The cards need to be 2 1/2" X 3 1/2". I've been using a business card template and trying to enlarge each card but I'm not having any success. Help?!

    Hi lilyknits
    Welcome to the forum.
    Define "Not having any Success."
    If you need to be stepped through the process:
    Open the blank Layout mode template.
    1. Make 1 Card: +Toolbar > TextBox > Inspector > Metrics > Size: > Width 2.5" / Height 3.5"+
    2. Paste/Type in any text and images and arrange as you like.
    If you are having trouble positioning any images: +Toolbar > Shapes > Rectangle (or whatever) > Inspector > Wrap > Floating+ and position it over your text box.
    3. Select all objects and +Menu > Arrange > Group+
    4. Select the grouped objects and +option shift drag+ sideways to make a copy. Again to make a 3rd card. +Menu > Arrange > Distribute Objects > Horizontally+
    5. Select the 3 copies above and +option shift drag+ them down twice to make a full set of 9.
    6. Select all: +Menu > Arrange > Distribute Objects > Vertically+
    7. Fine position them with +Inspector > Graphic > Position+

  • Pages '08 Business Card Template Question

    In Pages '08, is there a way to change the business card template page view to a single card view, allowing me to create one card that would automatically display itself in all 10 positions when the layout is changed to multiple card view? This can be done with the old Appleworks program, but I can find no way to do this with Pages. It seems I have to choose a card template, modify one of the boxes with my info, then copy and paste it into the other 9 boxes. Is this correct? If so, it is a step way behind the Applewoprks method.

    Yes it is a step backwards, but herre is the way to work with it.
    Create your one card, highlight all of its components, group them, then copy and paste it into the space below it perfectly. NOW DON'T TOUCH ANOTHER KEY!!! Instead, just repeat the paste function (Command+V) 3 times to fill the left side of the card stock. Now paste another one in the right top spot, select the right top, copy and paste and then position in the next lower spot to repeat what you did on the left side. If you positioned the second card correctly, this should have only taken maybe 1-1½ minutes.
    Good Luck.

  • J2me and java card, need help to communicate

    we are trying to put together a reader to read smartcards using j2me and we figure that it would be easiest if we could develop it to work with java cards rather than standard smart cards, the problem is we get garbage when we communicate to it, the chip sends us crap, any suggestions what might be wrong, any calls we might be missing, has anyone worked with j2me and java cards or smart cards, any help would be appreciated.
    einar

    .... reader app and the ME behind it .... smells like mobile ....
    First of all - if you want to have one mobile application running on this just make sure that whatever is written in ME can use drivers from the reader chip ....
    Workin on the PC is something completely different. There was one good example how to develop one host application in Java provided with the JCOP tools long ago ... I don't know if this is now in the new Eclipse tools.
    But - there was a small API provided that can give you good hints what to do - and - once you have it on the reader side - you can easily integrate ME methods with this ...

  • Flash Site Template Help With Text

    So I downloaded a flash template to use for my website... all I need are some editing of the texts, pictures, and some of those links. Here is the template:
    http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/24451.html
    My problem is I'm completely NEW at flash. I used to use FrongPage 2003 for my webdesign but I wanna use this for my new website (since it looks a lot better!) How do I edit the text fields? I can only seem to move the bar along the timeline to watch the animation, and see all the layers and item properties that none have anything with the text in them. And also the images as well, if I need to do anything special with those (within template link above you'll see they flash white for a second) and the main logo has some animation there. I have all the fonts required but I don't know if I also have to make the logo with those special white flashy lines like a GIF animator or if that's just some special affect within the template itself.
    Now due to legal notices specified by the site I can't share the template with you but I'll attempt to answer any and all questions i can to see if I can get this all figured out so I can begin adding my own content to the site. Thanks in advance.

    Doesn't look like there's an xml file for the text. Reading the template help index, and its saying some text might have complex coding for special effects and that I'd have to edit by the Library or something, so I'll try using that reference for now. I appreciate the help and I may come back if this can't help me lol
    EDIT:   It says I'm missing the font file "tahoma" mapped to _sans    ....??  I have tahoma... as well as the main title logo isn't appearing in the .fla file anymore even though I got the correct font. I'm confused >.<
    Edit 2: As well I get this a lot on many different areas:
    Forms Component - Version 0.81
    Couldn't load configuration.

  • How do you add the same information in a business card template?

    I have filled in one business card correctly in the informal business card template.  How do I copy that information to all the other cards?  I am using the new version of Pages.  Thanks.

    You will have to move each card into position manually. The side panel will give you measureemnts to position it accurately.

  • I'm using a card template and trying to find what Avery product I should get to print the card on

    I using a Pages greeting card template and trying to find out what Avery product I should buy to print it on. Where is this infromation?

    The Avery web site has the layouts of its products and also ms Word tempaltes that open in Pages.
    If you wish to use the Pages' templates select the overall rectangle of the card:
    Inspector > Metrics
    To find out the size and then look for the matching Avery stock, you will probably have to adjust bot the size and position for a close match.
    However since greeting cards are just rectangles folded in half all you need to do is print them on card stock with some crop marks offset from the corners and cut them out with a sharp knife or a guillotine. Not rocket science.

  • Quarter fold card template for pages

    I've just bought a mac mini and love it.
    I'm still moving over from MS products to Apple and it's going pretty well apart from MS Publisher.
    This still seems to be better at certain things than Pages.
    One issue is the lack of templates for cards in particular.
    Does anyone know where i can get hold of a quarter fold card template for Pages?
    I did see one but it was for Pages 09 and version 5.5.2 doesn't seem to open it.

    You can use a free Avery for MS Word Greeting Card. Click the Template Only (works with PC and Mac) radio button, and then download. Open in Pages v5.5.2, and first save as a Pages document in your Documents folder. Set the font, etc. to what you want in your Quarter-fold card template. Once you have done that, from the File menu, select Save as Template, and give it a name. While you are there, observe what a right-click on the template name presents in a pop-up menu.
    When you open Pages without specifying a document, it will default to a Template Chooser. Your Quarter-fold template is parked in the User Templates category.
    Pages v5.5.2 is not designed to compete as a true Desktop Publishing/Layout application. If you want to open Publisher documents on the Mac, get a free copy of LibreOffice, which will open them. Since it is not Publisher itself, your mileage will vary on layout accuracy. The LibreOffice PDF documentation is available, and created with LibreOffice. Since this is a superset, MS Office replacement package, there is a forms designer in the Writer application, and the ability to open PDF and edit them also exists. There is also complete Visio support from the first version to the latest.
    When you first launch LibreOffice, you must click the open button in the initial dialog, and afterwards, a double-click will open it normally. This will be true for any Mac applications obtained outside the OS X App Store.
