Definition of LDIF for import to AddressBook
I'm trying to find a comprehensive definition of the file format that AddressBook expects when importing from LDIF files. I can find lots of half-definitions and with those and a bit of trial and error I can get stuff like Name, Address, some phone numbers, an email address, imported okay. What I can get to is, for example, having multiple email addresses, multiple addresses, birthday, anniversary date etc. etc.
If you're curious why I'm not just converting directly using (say) O2M from little machines, its because I have for many years maintained my large contacts list in an external database which (a) allows me to have proper relationships between people, addresses, companies etc. and (b) allows me to export that data to the various PIMs, Address Books, PDAs, Mobile Phones as and when these change. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance
Here is the technical specification for LDIF:

Broken AppleScript for tab delimited importing into AddressBook
I have a tab delimited file that is not quite ready to import into AddressBook - it needs some massaging first (field merging, context sensitive edits etc.). A book (OS X Missing Manual) referred me to some AppleScripts used by AddressBook which are located in:
/Library/Scripts/Address Book Scripts/Address Importers
So I modified the "Tab Delimited Text File.scpt" file contained in there to accommodate all of the field merging etc. that I needed to do, but when I run the script it doesn't do anything. In fact, ALL of the scripts in that place just bring up a dialog box describing their capabilities, and then just quit. The book says these scripts work great... Would some kind soul please let me know how to run these scripts so I can point them to a tab delimited text file and do the import. Note that I'm able to figure out how to do my local changes in the AppleScript code, but I'm a total novice in AppleScript itself (but I can program well in other languages). I figure that because none of the scripts in that directory run, the error isn't mine (yet).
Thanks,
MickSorry for the late reply - I had already figured out that the scripts were subroutines, but also thought they might run solo (they didn't). Another surprise was that the parent routine (/Library/Scripts/Mail Scripts/Import Addresses.scpt) was hard coded to call the children scripts in the Mail directory instead of the Address Book directory. I'm not clear if that's a bug on Apple's side...
Anyway, I got it all working. The import procedure was excruciating slow - it took well over an hour! The next time I get an update of the database to import I'm coding something up in awk instead of an AppleScript.
Thanks again for your help. -
Locking the default options for IMPORT
Could we have a more definitive way to establish personal defaults for IMPORT.
When I import from my camera card, I normally start in the Folder sub-panel of Library and do a right-click "Create a new folder inside ..." and then after that is completed I select the folder just created and right click again and "Import to this folder ..."
This brings up IMPORT with my destination already visually established AND the folder already created within my folder structure and then all I need to do is quickly verify my options and click IMPORT in the lower right corner.
But for the life of me, I couldn't get my options to be sticky ... e.g. preview resolution, destination, etc. I'd set them, do the IMPORT as above, finish it and when I'd go back in they wouldn't have been left the way I set them. But I knew that sometimes this DID happen.
Turns out that if you invoke IMPORT via the button in the lower left corner of Library and complete the sequence (rather than import to this folder via a right-click) ... then options set from that initiation point are sticky and are rembered the next time you go in.
My question is: could we not have a more specific way of saving the defaults on the screen so no matter how you entered IMPORT, you can establish your default and 'lock' it.
jcThe best you can do until Adobe sees fit to make properly sticky is to use import presets. Please forgive if you already knew that...

i have a 10.6.8 mac os x system in a intel processor computer. how can I addressbook contacts to icloud. I tried exporting my import my addressbook and failed, then exportind a vcard from all contacts and failed and finale only one vcadr and failed. Something might i doing wrong
I just had the same problem, I've updated to 10.6.8 yesterday, and since then the browsing are very slow, no matter what broswer I am using, the upload download speed are still the same. But browsing just take forever, It takes for example google.com 30 seconds to load. I have Extream high speed internet connection, 3 other computers, and the only one is having this problem is the Mac after the update.
Something in this update screwed my browsing capabitilties, I tried downloading Crome browser, same issue.
I hope there is a way beside TimeMachine to revert the latest update. I don't want to reformat as I am sure as soon as I am going to do the update it will cause the same problem.

Hello,
I'm new to PE 7 and I'm having some problems with the import of a video. I captured it with the program FRAPS (FPS1 codec) which I know is not supported for import. But when I search the manual, there only is a list of allowed filetypes for import, but not the codecs.
I'm looking for a lossless codec that PE 7 can handle. Does anyone know?There will always be that "trial and error" aspect. With the number of programs, cameras, etc., that use various CODEC's and new ones coming out monthly (or variations on existing ones), a user has to do their homework to stay current. As I stated up-thread, camera mfgr's. are always looking to squeeze a touch more quality into a smaller package, so their coders are always looking to tweak what's already out there, or create a new CODEC.
Some of these play-nice with existing NLE's, but many do not. For SD work, the goal is to get to DV-AVI Type II, in the fewest possible steps. With HD material, the water is very muddy right now. It appears that AVCHD is in the lead, though working with that format is very taxing on one's system, and the need to upgrade to the "latest and greatest" is very high, indeed. Even with AVCHD, there is a "lite" version, that is causing some a bit of grief.
In the pro ranks, the Red camera and its files are right around the corner for Adobe. There is much speculation that Red and Adobe will have it all working with the CS4 4.1 release - due any day now. A new CODEC for Adobe is on the horizon. Some of the older "players" like CineForm have yet to update their output to match what is currently available. There material works well in CS3, but has yet to be updated to CS4, or had not been, last time I checked.
One reason that the Sony Vegas products work so well with some of the Sony CODEC's is that the development labs are right next door and projects are usually a dual effort. Companies, like Adobe, have to wait until the format/CODEC has been released, and then re-code for it. There is a definite lag with this method. Some users and potential users bash Adobe (and others), because Vegas can do it, so why can't Adobe? If they got the code and the specs, before they were released, they could, to a degree. Vegas gets to time their releases to coincide with the release of a new format/CODEC on Sony cameras. Adobe has no such luxury.
A good book on all things DVD, DVD Demystified, by Taylor, Johnson & Crawford, Mc Graw Hill, has a lot of great info on CODEC's, but because it's printed material, will never be at the cutting edge. Even though it just covers the CODEC's used in the production of DVD's and BD, it will always be behind the development curve with regards to the latest developments. Even on-line material lags behind. Catching pod-casts from all of the "players" is about as good as we can get, and then one often has to "read between the lines."
Yes, the world of CODEC's is a wonderous and mysterious realm. In video (and still) production, we need them daily, and will always be behind the curve, but we usually do not need to know how to write them. With tools like G-Spot, Google and fora like this one, we can pretty much stay as current, as we need to be.
Last comment: I am a firm believer in only having the CODEC's that I need on my system. There are no bonus points for having the most CODEC's on one's machine. I also look for the paid version from the developer of any that I do need, and will spend $, rather than go for a possibly hacked, or reverse-engineered free version. This does not mean that free CODEC's are bad - only that I will pay to get as close to the source, as is possible. I want something that always works with my system and something that will do the best job possible.

When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message:
"The registry settings used by the I Tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.
This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install I Tunes."
To my knowledge no new software has been installed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing I Tunes but I still
get the same message.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Do I need to download a new driver?
Bill MartinI can get down as far as step 11 but it shows nothing about upper filters and when I type on "If the Upper Filters entry is missing follow these instructions" nothing happens
Do you mean you can't see the instructions on what to do if there is no UpperFilters entry?
If so, here's the relevant instructions for that step:
On the right side of the Registry Editor window, right-click the UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
Right-click the empty white space within the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor window. From the shortcut menu, choose New > Multi-String Value.
Name this new value "UpperFilters" (without the quotes). Then, right-click the newly created UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu. -
How to add more fields at level task for importing to MsProject
Hi everyone,
We would like to have the same number of fields either for importing as exporting; or at least, the fields that we need.
The problem is when we are configurating the fields for exporting from cProjects to MsProject, we found 81 available fields and then we don't find the same amount for importing (34). So, in some cases we don't find fields which were configurated for exporting and it is no posible to upload the information back because the field is no available for importing.
Does anyone knows how to add more fields for importing at the cProjects side?
Thanks a lot,
CAMILO URIBESome fields can not be migrated because of MsProject designe. The above is the reason why cProjects' customizing does not offer the
mapping of the same nuember of fields. -
I just downloaded Firefox 3.6 and followed the instructions for importing Favorites from Internet Explorer. Firefox said the import was successful, but the Favorites do not appear at the bottom of the Bookmarks menu (below "Mozilla Firefox") as shown in the Support instructions. Where can I access my Favorites?
You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks).<br />
If you can't find them in the "From Internet Explorer" folder then try this:
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

Letter of credit functionality for imports
Hi Experts
W.r.t FT, the financial document can be used as LC.
1) Is it possible to use this LC (Financial doc- Transaction VX11N) for linking the import purchase order?
2) Is there any standard functionality to monitor the import purchase orders which involve Letter of credit?
3) Is there any userexit to enhance the existing VX11N to make use for import purchase order?
warm regards
mariasHello Marias,
I regret to inform you that the functionality you request is not
implemented in the standard system within the Foriegn trade area.
" The documentary payment functionality (Letter of Credit) for vendors
is not available in SAP Standard System.
Documentary payments can only be created on the SD side for customer
but not for vendors.
At this time, there is no plan to develop this functionality. "
Please note that the Foriegn Trade functionality has been expanded and
is available in the solution product "Global Trade Services" (GTS).
As you are probably already aware information on GTS is available in SAP
Service Marketplace.

Partial qty MIRO and GR for import PO
Hi,
For import PO first we are creating PO for vendor and we enter only qty and 0% tax for import PO after getting material as per schedule qty we are creating new PO for the recieved qty only and we are adding all the custom condition as delivery cost in second PO then we process further like MIRO and GR , but to avoid this we are trying to make only one PO on import vendor and adding all the custom codnition in that PO in development server and we process the MIRO, J1IEX, and GR process for partial qty for one material and for one material we have taken ful qty. first time it works OK , now when second time we want to do MIRO , J1IEX and GR againt same PO we are facing probelm like In MIRO when we enter PO number it is showing some amount in Balance amount filed which is generally 0 , in MIRO it is also showing the some material for which no open qty and also for partial qty if we enter qty more than open po qty system is not giveing any error,
Can you some stpes and tips what configurationwe need, actual requirement is we want that we will create import PO o etime by adding all the custom condition as delivery cost and ref. to that material we want to do MIRO, J1IEX and GR for partial qty.
regards,
zafarHi,
I have two points,
While after recieving import material first we do the miro for custom condition in this we enter the custom vendor code in the invoicing party, and below next to PO number field we generally select option no. 3 i.e Goods / service item + planned delivery cost with this all conditions come in the miro but our requirement is only those codnition should come in which invocing party is which we have enter in the header fied of MIRO ,
so insted of 3 option Goods / service item + planned delivery cost , if we select option 2 Planned delivery cost our problem get solve so i want to know what is the effect if insted of 3 option we select option 2.
regards,
zafar -

Everytime I connect my iPod Touch (4th Gen) to my laptop, running Win 7 (64 bit) I get the message "The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes" I have reinstalled iTunes several times and it has not fixed the issue. I am running ver 10.2.2.12 of iTunes. I HAVE NOT installed any other burning software to my laptop either. I haven't tried uninstalling iTunes and then re-installing it yet. Would that perhaps fix the problem? I've read that many users have had issues with the new version of the software and I was wondering if that might be causing my issue. I'd like to point out that iTunes seems to work after getting rid of the message, but I haven't tried to burn any CDs or put music from a CD to my laptop. Any ideas on how to get rid of the annoying message?
I also am having trouble hooking up with our other computers using Homegroup. I noticed quite a lot of people are having the same issue and hopefully they come up with a fix for that soon.
Thanks in advance.I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
