Exchange contacts have strange field labels in mobileme

Hello,
I have an exchange account as well as mobileme.  Running 10.6.7 .  When I drag my contacts to my local address book and sync to mobile me the field titles become strange . example the following is in front of a business number _$!<EX-B  and then the telephone number is correct. 
The cards look fine on my computer, the fields are just messed up when using mobileme...
Has anybody had a similar issue ? Apple doesn't seem to be able to fix this....
thanks,
Neil

I was fooling around a bit more with this and found that if you open the Address Book application and export all of your contacts to a folder on the desktop (either one at a time or as a group), then delete all of the contacts in the Address Book, then drag and drop the exported cards back onto the Address Book application the "strange" field labels will be cleaned..... BUT.... On mine all of the phone numbers and contacts then defaulted to having the "Other" field label, so use this at your own risk

    the field in question "can grow" and can become quite big...overlaping the content of the fileds below...how can i make the fields below this large field move dyanmically so there is no overlap?

    if it is the same field and it is set to can grow you just need to make sure you put space between by inserting a section below

  • Data Merge: Field Label control

    Hello -
    I am having a good time with DataMerge, except for one thing.
    I am creating a document with multiple records per page.
    That's fine - I understand how to do this.
    However, I would like to have the field labels only appear ONCE per page - ie, at the extreme left
    Right now, the field labels appear repeatedly, for each record.
    Is there a way to put them in a margin, or another layer or something????
    If this cannot be done by InDesign's merge, do you know of any alternative way to do this, or if InData can do it?
    Thank you -
    Marion

    Very very clever -
    and easy, although it would be great if I could place them on the master before the merge in a separate layer, and disable that layer prior to merging, and enable it after merge.
    Thank you Peter.

  • Have my exchange contacts appear on iCloud. Does anyone know if this is possible?

    Hi there,
    Just setup iCloud on my IOS 5 iPhone 4S. Loving it so far. One thing I have been unable to do is have my exchange contacts / calendar also appear on iCloud. Does anyone know if this is possible?

    Fair point Tim
    I can't speak for the O/P but for me, i think i'd be happy to "move" then to iCloud rather than Exchange then. This all started from the most trival of things. I wanted Suri to recognise my partner but the "Related People" fields are limited to 3 with Exchange. I need them to be iCloud contacts to get the full list including Brother, Father etc etc
    I have follows online guuides to sync to the cloud but they ignore Exchange contacts. I have just tried to add the @me.com account to my Outlook but it failed (perhaps servers busy/down?)
    and to answer your question this is a High end HP desktop with Outlook 2010 and Exchange 2007 SP3 connected on a gigabit lan.
    I'm assuming that when i get my mobile.me account into Outlook, i can just copy/move them into there and then the sync process will work.?

  • How do I create visible field labels in a pdf form that can be overwritten by text? I have tried add

    I am creating a very straight forward fillable form and want to add a description of each field that can be visible to the user, but goes away when the person enters the appropriate data in the field. I have tried to suggested custom scripts. The script command were: if (!event.value) event.value = event.target.name; and
    if (!event.value) {event.value = event.target.name; event.target.display = display.noPrint;} else {event.target.display = display.visible;}. Both allow the lables to be visible but neither allow the user to either replace the label with the relevant information and if it does, then the replacing data does not print/remain viewable.
    I am confident this is doable as I have seen forms that say something like "add your name here" and when you enter the data that field label is replaced with the information I enter.

    Hi George,
    I have tried this. What I get is a field label, and I can type into the field, but the label does not go away and the page prints blank. Should I try: if (!event.value) {event.value = event.target.name; event.target.display = display.Print;} else {event.target.display = display.visible;}, removing the .noPrint?
    You have no idea how frustrating it is to try this and have such a simple function not work. Is there anothe script I can try?

  • I have an all contacts list and an exchange contact list how do i sync them into 1 list(my exchange list)

    I have an all contacts list and an exchange contact list how do i sync them into 1 list(my exchange list. I want to only use my exchange list but i don't know how to put the other contacts from all contacts or contacts into my exchange list??

    Can any user with similar problem or IPhone developers give a remedial suggestion please?

  • On my iphone how do I delete from my exchange contacts, so I only have all my contacts under ALL CONTACTS on the device.

    On my iphone how do I delete from my exchange contacts that were imported from a different email address, this way I only have all my contacts under ALL CONTACTS on the device.

    Contacts imported from a different email address? Are you referring to a different address book, possibly from your computer? Exchange contacts are not stored on your computer. If you turn off Exchange contacts they will disappear from the phone. The phone will always show contacts that are stored on your phone, and keep them separate from the Exchange contacts like they are now. If you delete the ones on the phone and then turn off or lose access to the Exchange account, you will no longer have any contacts.

  • Do N900 Contacts Have Edit Label ??

    After I suffered a lot from N97 I sold it today with half of its price I lose 300U$    and I didn't able to utilize it even with the last update software still hanging which force you to format and loosing all your data such as notes, contacts, programs.. nokia care and free 800 where useless  
    I feel that I get red of it.. I feel sad from Nokia...
    Dose N900 Contacts have edit label feature?? and all other Nokia Symbian features are they exist on the Maemo OS?
    I need to decide to go to with Nokia or look for different Company ?  

    i do not have a N900 in my hands yet, but have 3 on order! 
    however, try this video by the Maemo team for the contacts and see if it gives you better knowledge so you can decide.
    all the beta testors that i have conversed with say that the contacts is very good and even integrates skype seemlesly.
    here is a video
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30kPxiyzrmI
    and here is a great review for reference too that was done by Michal Jerz...he always does very good reviews.  he just got a production unit, so it should be updated within the next couple of days.

  • Can i sync mobile me and exchange contacts at same time?

    hi, i've a mobileme account, with my contacts synchronized. The question is, if now, i configure on that same iphone, an exchange account (my work email), and i also sync exchange contacts, will my mobileme contacts be erased? or they will coexist both without any problem?
    thanks!!!

    Yes, you can. Contacts from MobileMe and the Exchange server will be stored in separate groups. In addition, you'll have access to the Global Address List on the Exchange server.

  • Field labels that won't go away in Address Book

    Help!
    Many of my contacts have credentials at the end of their names, so I use the Suffix feature to keep track of them. However, for people without credentials at the end of their names, the word "SUFFIX" appears in gray on their contact card, and I can't make it go away.
    Same thing with other unused fields on any given card, such as prefix. It is pretty annoying to have "Prefix Bob Jones Suffix" on a contact card.
    How do I make these field labels disappear without eliminating the field?
    Thanks for your help.

    Welcome to the discussions, Cobra.
    Are you leaving the cards in edit mode? Those fields don't show up, if empty, unless you are in edit mode.

  • Problem with field label

    Hello All,
    I am having a strange problem with field label? I have created a table with three fields one is MANDT and and the remaining fields as PATID and PATNA.
    I am maintaining the field label for these fields, but still i am not getting the names of the fields while i am calling the structure in my alv tree.
    I d'nt know what is the problem here?
    can any one tell me how can i solve this issue?
    Regards,
    Lisa

    Hi lisa,
    This is not the problem with Data Dictionary,
    While declaring the fieldcatalogue for thr GRID.
    CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'
    EXPORTING
      I_BUFFER_ACTIVE              =
       I_STRUCTURE_NAME             = 'ZTABLE'
      I_CLIENT_NEVER_DISPLAY       = 'X'
      I_BYPASSING_BUFFER           =
      CHANGING
        ct_fieldcat                  = gt_fieldcat
    EXCEPTIONS
      INCONSISTENT_INTERFACE       = 1
      PROGRAM_ERROR                = 2
      OTHERS                       = 3
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
            WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
    ENDIF.
    If gt_fieldcat-fieldname = 'PATID'.
    gs_fieldcat-ref_field = 'ZTABLE'.
    modify gt_fieldcat from gs_fieldcat.
    clear gs_fieldcat.
    endif.
    Because while calling the FM it is populatinh the fieldname
    so you need to modify the fieldcatalogue with fieldname then it will pick the field labels from the Dictionary.
    Hope this  will solve your problem.
    Regards,

  • Set Address Book to default to Exchange contacts

    In Address Book, I prefer to have my Exchange contacts be the default. So, I go to Preferences>General>Default Account and select my Exchange account.
    It seems after every reboot, this defaults back to On My Mac contacts. Very frustrating, as when you creat a new contact, it is not created in the Exchange folder.
    I do have 3 Macs all syncing via MobileMe but contact sync is turned off.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Waiting was the key solution here!
    After waiting aprox 2/3 hours it worked. Changed nothing...

  • Finding contacts with empty fields

    I'm trying to collect all the contacts that have no entry in the "Maiden Name" field to perform an action on them.
    So...
    tell application "Contacts"
      activate
              set thePeople to every person whose maiden name is missing value
              repeat with thePerson in thePeople
             --blah blah blah
              end repeat
    end tell
    What am I missing? It's returning every entry in my address book, regardless of whether there's info in the maiden name field or not.
    Thanks in advance!

    Well that's really strange because it doesn't work on my system. (10.8.3)
    Some of the contacts have a mothers maiden name filled in, others don't. Reversing the logic didn't work wither, but, oddly, using the logic in a different way DID produced the expected results:
    tell application "Contacts"
      activate
              set thePeople to every person
              repeat with thePerson in thePeople
                        if ((maiden name of thePerson is missing value) and (company of thePerson is false) and (first name of thePerson is not missing value) and (last name of thePerson is not missing value)) then
                                  --blah blah blah
                        end if
      end repeat
    end tell
    Any thoughts why that would work and the other way wouldn't?
