Editing contacts that don't have names

I'm trying to find a way to edit or delete the contact that have been created in the iPhone without names. These contacts do not show up in the "Contacts" application and don't sync with iTunes (at least, not with the gmail sync option).
The way I think i created these contacts is from mail application.... I manually typed in their email addresses. Now, when I start to type a new email recipient's name or email address I can see these other addresses show up, but I can't edit or delete them.
Thanks in advance

Thank you for the response.
If I create a new contact with the a full name and associate the email address of the virtual contact with this one it will show up in the email app with the full name. When I delete the new contact the mail app goes back to just showing the email address of this virtual contact.
It looks like we don't have a way to delete these virtual contacts from the iPhone. How long do we need to wait before these will disappear? maybe the phone only keeps X of them in memory.

Tutorial: Virtual Numpad on laptops that don't have one built-in

Hi all! After getting so much good help from the people on Arch forums, I thought it was time to give back.
You remember how on older laptops, you would hit numLock and a portion of your keyboard would become a numpad? (specifically, the 789uiojklm keys) Well, recently I got a new Lenovo Y40 and I never knew how much I loved having a numpad until I found that my new laptop didn't have one. Unfortunately, the Y40 does not come with this feature out of the box, but luckily, Arch Linux is on our side. I am going to tell you how I set up my own virtual numpad using tools that come built-in with X.
Before we start, I should point out that everything I learned in order to do this was found here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X_ … _Modifiers
From the warnings section:
It is possible (and, in fact, easy) to end up disabling some keys on your keyboard for the current X session while working with XKB. This includes modifiers, cursor arrows and Enter key, as well as C-A-Backspace and C-A-Fx combinations. Make sure you have some way to terminate the session without using your keyboard.
While it is rare, changing XKB configuration can sometimes hang or crash X server. Make sure you can handle it. Having some way to killall X or reboot the host remotely may be a good idea.
Stop xxkb, or any other layout switching applications. xxkb actively changes XKB state. Debugging both at the same time is not a good idea.
And finally, be warned: it is very easy to get used to custom layout.
If you want to learn more, that wiki article is the best available xkbcomp documentation for people who aren't X developers (lit. me). And with that, let's get started!
Getting Set Up + xkb Background Info
The first thing we will do is run the command
xkbcomp $DISPLAY outfile.xkb
This will spit out the code that represents the current keyboard layout. Our end goal will be to code in what we need into this file, and upload it back to the X server. I recommend editing this file in an editor with C/C++-style syntax highlighting, since it might prevent you from making syntactical errors.
There are many sections to the .xkb file, but we will only concern ourselves with xkb_types, xkb_compatibility, and xkb_symbols.
xkb_types lets you define types for each of the keys on your keyboard. For example, if you use Canadian Multilingual Standard (like I do) most of your keys are given the type "EIGHT_LEVEL_SEMIALPHABETIC". When a "special key" like ctrl, alt, caps lock, etc is pressed, in xkb_types, we map these modifiers to "LevelN", and different combinations will mean different things for different types. For 8-level-semialphabetic, no special keys pressed is "Level1", Shift is "Level2", etc.
If we jump forward to xkb_symbols, and look at the keys, we see that each key is assigned a type, and an array. The first element in the array is what symbol the key represents for Level1, the second is the symbol for Level2, etc.
Finally, xkb_compatibility allows us to set which keys turn on which modifiers (as well as other things).
So with that, let's get started
Editing the layout
We will begin by editing the xkb_types section. First, we will pick an unused type from xkb_types (you could create your own, but it will be more work). It doesn't matter which type you picked, so long as none of your keys use it. Take down the name. Now delete the unused type, and in its place, copy paste the type that your keys used already. Finally, change the name of the copy to the type you deleted. For example, I deleted EIGHT_LEVEL_ALPHABETIC, copied and pasted EIGHT_LEVEL_SEMIALPHABETIC, and changed the name on the copy back to EIGHT_LEVEL_ALPHABETIC. Next, change the modifiers variable to accept NumLock. This is done by concatenating '+NumLock' before the semicolon. Lastly, we will bind it to a level. You can create a level, or simply pick one that you were not using, and add the line (where N is the desired Level)
map[NumLock]= LevelN;
Next, we will turn our attention to xkb_compatibility. Simply copy paste this code into the xkb_compatibility section, taking care to replace Scroll_Lock with the key you wish to use to toggle the numpad:
interpret Scroll_Lock {
virtualModifier= NumLock;
action= LockMods(modifiers=NumLock);
Now comes the more tedious part of editing the layout. For every key that is part of your virtual numpad, change the type to the copy we made earlier. (In my example, I would change EIGHT_LEVEL_SEMIALPHABETIC to EIGHT_LEVEL_ALPHABETIC). Finally, locate the Nth element in the array (indexing from 1) where N is the level you bound the NumLock modifier to in xkb_types. Replace this with the desired nunmpad key. For your convenience, here is a list of the numpad keys I used:
KP_0
KP_1
KP_2
KP_9
KP_Add
KP_Subtract
KP_Divide
KP_Multiply
KP_Decimal
For example, here is the entry for my 'u' key (note the KP_4):
key <AD07> {
type= "EIGHT_LEVEL_ALPHABETIC",
symbols[Group1]= [ u, U, NoSymbol, NoSymbol, downarrow, uparrow, NoSymbol, KP_4 ]
If you are wondering what to do if you want to bind numpad keys to your Fx keys, I added a note at the end of the post.
Uploading the layout to the X Server
And now the moment of truth. First, run
xkbcomp myNewLayout.xkb
This will NOT upload to the X Server yet; it will only compile the file and check its syntax. One cryptic error I got was because I used C-style /*block quotes*/. xkbcomp doesn't like these, but it doesn't mind //this kind of comment. If we have no errors, we can now upload with
xkbcomp myNewLayout.xkb $DISPLAY
Well, go ahead and try it out, there will almost surely be some really neat tweaks you can do.
Extra Stuff/Notes
When you hit Scroll_Lock (or whichever key it was you chose) it locks the new type we made to LevelN. This is why we went to the trouble of making a new type, so that the rest of the keyboard would not be locked in LevelN mode. For example, on my setup, I first tried this without creating a new type, and found that the rest of my keyboard was not behaving normally, since it was also bound to Level8 (my desired numpad level). So, I created a new type for my numpad keys so that the rest of the keyboard would still act in its usual manner even when I had the numpad on.
If you're wondering, I bound KP_Multiply and KP_Divide to my F8 and F9 keys. However, I didn't need to change the type, since the level I chose (Level4) also caused the Fx keys to act normally (except if I rebound them). That is, before I changed anything, all the Fx had the corresponding Fx key bound to Level4. I simply changed the Level4 keybinds for F8 and F9. This meant that when I activated the virtual numpad, F8 and F9 were KP_multiply and KP_Divide, and the rest of the function keys were what they were usually.
Hopefully, this tutorial won't only help you to make a virtual numpad, but maybe help some other newbies like me to further customize their system. And the Arch Wiki author is right, you really do get used to the new layout and it becomes frustrating to use other computers!
Happy trails.
- Marco

Re: My laptops that don't have a linksys card, but built in wireless can stay connected to WEP
OK since your security is set to WPA why do you want to go to WEP? DS? If everything is configured correctly you should not have to change anything. If you are connecting another device and forgot what your WPA setting were just go into the router and take a look see.
1. I set up everything, its all fine and ok
2. The DS can't connect to WPA, only WEP or Open
3. I know what my WPA settings are and the codes to both settings

PSE9/Win 7: Can I create a Smart Album of all images that Don't have a certain tag?

Using PSE9 on Windows 7.
I'd like to create a Smart Album that contains all of the images that don't have a particular tag.
When I click on Create New Smart Album the dialog box allows me to select 'Keyword Tags'.
But the next item is 'Include'. Then I can select that tags I want.
I basically want the Include to be 'Exclude'.
Any way to do something like that?

Hi,
You could try this.
1) Show all photos
2) Check the Keyword Tag that you are interested in
3) Under Options Select Hide best match results & Show results that do not match (i.e. reverse the last two conditions).
to read
That should be showing you what you wanted to see
4) Now use the top option Save Search Criteria As Smart Album and give it a name
That seems to remember the reversed conditions as well as the tag.
Good Luck,
Brian

I need a WM that don't have hotkeys

Hello, I usually play games that need a lot of Essential Hotkeys like "Esc", "ALT+Click", and a lot of combinations. But my WM have all these keys binded, and I can't play well.
I can Execute a graphical application (like a Warcraft III) without any WM? Or there is a WM that don't have any hotkey binded (In KDE I have removed all hotkeys and works well, except "Esc" Key, and I need it fully for the game...
Greetings

X && exec wow.exe?
Or
If you start X with startx, you can just change your xinitrc to exec xterm instead of your window manager. From there you can start whatever games you want to play. This has the additional benefit of freeing up more RAM.
Thought you can just start the game you want directly instead of starting a term.
Well you could run different games this way without having to edit your .xinitrc file

I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV? I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV.

I have a late 2011 model MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I love the AirPlay mirroring feature with Apple TV...BUT, how do I mirror with TVs that don't have Apple TV? I used to run a cable from my mini display port to the HDMI input of a TV. This feature seems to be lost in the Mountain Lion upgrade. Did Apple feel that once Mountain Lion came out that EVERYONE would have Apple TV? There are no settings in System Preferences/Display like there used to be...only for AirPlay Mirroring.

Running a cable to the HDMI port is still supported. (and still works on mine).
If the Arrangement tab in System Preferences > Displays isn't present then it doesn't recognize the physical connection. Double check all cables. If that doesn't work try a PRAM reset:

I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?

Thank you. I put it in airplane mode like you suggested, but it looks to me like all the applications and ads are still running. Anyway, I'm just gonna play when I'm really really bored and use them as less as possible. Thank you again for your quick answer.

If you're just doing it in a back and forth or spiral fashion, you don't need to check whether a square's been filled in. You just go from a start point to an end point. Those points and the squares in between are determined by simple arithmetic.
If you're doing it randomly, I wouldn't use the GUI elements themselves. I'd have, for example, and array of booleans that tells whether each square has been filled in.

Add-on to capture videos from internet that don't have a download link.

Is there an add-on to capture videos from internet that don't have a download link. I am on a Mac.

In general, you don't need drivers for camcorders on Macs, and the .exe file you downloaded is a Windows program, which won't run on a Mac unless you also have Windows installed.
It would help a lot if you tell us the exact model camcorder you are using, and what application you want to use it with.
Regarding iTunes, the latest version is iTunes 11. You need to have OS X 10.6.8 or later to install iTunes 11. Your profile says you have OS X 10.4.11, which is a much older version of OS X, so you won't be able to install iTunes 11. (Here are the iTunes 11 specs.)
