Extracted punctuation and editting issues in Contacts

I waited to install from 10.6.8 because of the many issues I saw/heard people were having, then I heard that it was fine and I installed 10.8.2 but wow, what a nightmare!
The most tragic issue is the new format of Address Book. First of all, the new "Contacts" application is horrendous and looks like a 1988 Corel Draw design, if Corel was around back then. What gives? I've learned that if something works—Don't fix it! Who  at Apple  allowed for this to go through? The staff must have had a lot of beer and wine that day! Is Apple going to turn its OS into a kiddie book because that is what this application looks like. Please return us to our original glory; there was no need for this circumcision ("to cut, about, around, and through").
First, it seems that there are the two duplicate file systems, but since I don't know what or where iCloud is, I am not willing to make that my primary backup site. So I have to read the manual about that.
Here is the actual problem, when installed, Contacts actually strips the punctuation from all my emails. This means the symbol ("@") and the periods (".") in my emails. Even though I manually try to edit this, I am not allowed to make edits in the emails!
In addition, I can no longer add  new phone numbers or entries, as one would do by clicking on the green "+" symbol. The only thing I can do, is write notes, and click on the delete entries ("-").
I wonder why, with so many issues, Apple hasn't fixed this promptly, and/or returned to the previous Address Book version?

Actually I did not import, I just reinstalled the new software and it automatically did that. I have tried resetting the PRAM and that didn't do anything but as soon as I figure out where the Power button is on my wireless Apple keyboard, I will try to rest the Mac Mini, which is lacking some feature, I read somewhere, so sometimes this causes problems.

  • Generic extraction loading and performances issues

    hi,
          any one can give the details about the generic extraction loading as well as performance issues.
    advance thanks
    regards
    praveen

    Hi,
    when there is no suitable business content datasource we go for creating generic data source.
    by using generic data source we can extract data present in single or multiple tables.
    If the data is present in the single table we go for generic data source extracting from table.
    If the data that is to be extracted is present in multiple tables and the relation between the tables is one to one and if there is a common field in both the tables we create a view on these tables and create a generic data source extracting from view.
    if you want to extract data from different tables and there is no common field we create a info set on these tables and create a generic datasource extracting from query.
    if you want to extarc the data from different tables and the relation is one to many  or many to many we create a generic data source from function module.
    If we extarct from function module ,at run time it has to execute the code and brings the data to BW.so it degrades the loading performance.

  • Viewing and Editing Issues with iPhoto 09

    While I have enjoyed the new features of iPhoto 09 vs iPhoto 08, there are two differences that may be bugs or may be "new features." The first is that while viewing images within an event, the image zoom slider in the lower right corner of the window will no longer zoom an image to full view within the image browser. I only get a minimum of three images left to right. Any ideas why I can't zoom fully without opening the edit window or clicking on the image to zoom it to full screen (not within the image browser)?
    The second question has to do with editing. When I take a portrait image and open the editing window, the image is rotated into landscape mode. This did not happen in iPhoto 08. Is anyone else seeing this? If so, is this a new "feature" or a bug?
    All of all of my images are stored as RAW file format.

    Thank you both.
    For the image viewing, I'll accept that things sometime change. In fact, if you click once on an image so that it is highlighted, you can go in and out of zoom by touching the space bar, and then navigate with the left and right arrows at full screen.
    When I encounter an image that has a rotation issue in edit, I'll use Revert to Original to fix the image.
    I've been using iLife/iPhoto since they first came out years ago, and the interface generally added things, not remove them...oh, well, in iPhoto 09, the good clearly outweighs the bad. I only wish I now had a camera with built-in GPS, but I've still been having fun entering locations for all of my photos.

  • How to view and edit local contacts

    Hi there,

    in your contacts settings, turn OFF all contact accounts (SIM, BBM ETC) then afterwards you should be able to just see your local contacts.

  • HT5824 how can i add and edit my contatcs from my iphone

    Hello please help me ..
    how can i add and edit my contatcs from my iphone

    Hello there ttikkiscy,
    It sounds like you would like to know how to add to and edit your iCloud Contacts. First make sure you are using the iCloud Contacts function with this article:
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then tap to turn on or off iCloud features.
    Once that is turned on and you can see your contacts in the Contacts app, use this part of the iPhone Basics guide here http://support.apple.com/kb/TI138
    Create and edit a contact.
    In Contacts, tap + to pull up a new contact card. Enter the person’s info and tap Done.
    To edit a contact, pull up the card and tap Edit. Make your changes and tap Done to save.
    To delete, scroll down, and tap Delete Contact.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • I am getting a 6 soon. But need to back up my 4S. I have two problems: one, I cannot get the rest of the videos off my phone.  two, I have no plus or edit button in contacts and cannot delete or fix and bad numbers. Help

    Actually, I have three problems. I had to turn off iCloud because every time I turn it on, it wipes out all my contacts.  Thankfully they're on my macbook and I was able to text them back to the phone.  Honestly, this is making me batty.  All I want to do is preserve my information before the new phone comes in. I did do a back-up to iTunes, but will that bring all the problems over to the new phone?!?
    First? I tried to edit a contact today. No edit button.  Then I thought, I'll just add her. No plus sign.
    Last but not least? I have a LOT of memory being taken up on my 16 G 4s with videos that iTunes and iPhoto refuse to see.  I can't even figure out how to see the folder on my iPhone when it's plugged in.
    Help!

  • Contact and Calendar Duplications, sync and more issues!

    I have the iPhone 4S. I decided to activate the iCloud on my phone through to iCloud and to my Windows PC laptop.  However, this caused all my calendar entries to duplicate and I had to manually delete the duplications on my Outlook Calendar so that it would not show up in any of the other devices.
    I also ended up losing a lot of contacts - they all started merging!
    I managed to fix all of this by painfully having to manually delete calendar entries and manually editing contact information but there is still a number of outstanding probelms:
    1.  Contacts - the prefix for e-mail addresses (i.e home, work etc) now all show as e-mail (rather than home, work etc).  I had to manually change them all so it synced correctly in all the relevant devices (PC Laptop, iphone 4S and iCloud). However, after manually changing the e-mail prefix in my PC laptop nothing is reflecting on my 4S nor in the Cloud. iCloud is definitely working as things are syncing, it is just not dealing with all the format changes.
    2. When I change/edit an existing contact or add a new contact record via my 4S -  Outlook will then show that record by last name, first name (all my settings in all devices are set to First Name, Last Name).   This is getting really frustrating! 
    3.  Contacts - following on from point 1.  If I make a change to an existing contact the e-mail prefix (which I had to change manually to reflect home, work etc) reverts back to showing as "e-mail" rather than stating if it's actually the contact's home or work e-mail address!!?!.
    4.  I also have an iPad 2 but have not set up the iCloud just yet. To avoid the duplication and loss of contacts experience all over again.  Can someone give some advice on how I can ensure iCloud is set up correctly so that my iPad 2, iPhone 4S and PC Laptop all sync via the iCloud without any issues?
    5.  How do I carry out out a software update on my iPhone 4S given that everything syncs through the iCloud i.e. no longer have to connect my 4S to the laptop?  Does this happen automatically through iCloud?  I was concerned about connecting my 4S via the USB lead to my laptop which would then start a sync process and possibly duplicating everything?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Nope, Thunderbird is a client program, so is your phone. Software that tries to sync clients invariably is the cause of drama because sync is truly very difficult to program successfully and free apps from phone vendors are not quality products and almost invariably support one program and one version of that program.
    So using a third party server is the correct approach. If syncing Google contact to a phone causes issues, that is more than likely the sync software used not an inherent problem with the process.
    If you do not wish to use Google your more than welcome to install and run your own ldap server to sync contact to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol
    or Go the whole hog and host your own groupware server including calendars http://www.sogo.nu/about/overview.html

  • I lost my add and edit function on my contact list

    I lost my add and edit function in my contact app.

    Thanks for this tip. Had this problem with my ipad. Brought it to my local Apple store. Two employees in the store I spoke with had never heard of this issue (including one @ the "genius" bar who suggested to just restore from my laptop). This fixed my issue! Thanks

  • How can I see, use and edit contacts on PC without...

    Now I finally worked out how to sync my contacts to my N95 8G (see earlier posts), I would like to use this data, plus the calendar data on a daily basis on my PC and update it where necessary, before finally synching back to the N95 at the end of the day.
    Has anybody any ideas how this can be done ?
    With my old Palm-based system I would use the Palm desktop but the PCSuite (v. 7.0) doesn't seem to offer this functionality.
    Now the contct and calendar data must be copied there on the PC as I've performed a back-up via the Suite, but how do I get to see and edit this data (or a copy thereof) on the PC ?
    If Nokia can't be bothered to work out how to do this, has anybody come across any third party vendors who have ?

    Hi - sorry for the tardy response.
    When I saw that my Palm device was fading rapidly and that it was no longer supported by upgrades to new versions of Windows (a Sony Clie of 2002 vintage that I used for everything bar phone calls), I backed up my palm desktop contacts, calendar etc. to my Yahoo account with no problems.
    My other posts on this forum described my frustration at not being able to simply export a file back out of Yahoo that the N95 would understand, without losing bits of the contacts (e.g. all the telephone numbers). In the end I had to go via Outlook - my other post (copied below) describes how I did it.
    The approach is not perfect and I intend it to be a once only thing. I will still suffer the hassle of entering new contacts into both my N95 and my online address book as the Nokia PC Suite does not appear to accurately read csv files created by Yahoo.
    My poor user experience with N95 will make me think seriously about going back to a Palm-based / Blackberry device when upgrade time comes around again.
    1: Open Outlook and back up the existing contacts (that you wish to keep separate from your N95 contacts) by exporting them to the desktop in a .pst - "outlook.pst"
    2: Once they are backed up to Outlook.pst, select all these contacts in Outlook and delete
    3: In Yahoo, export all contacts to an Outlook format .csv file (note, Yahoo offers different .csv formats) - "Personal.csv"
    4: In Outlook, import the new Personal.csv file you have created. Check contacts. Delete duplicates, and check/update errors (i.e. use Outlook like the PIM that PC Suite ought to be and isn't !).
    5: In Nokia PC Suite, use the Synchronise function to synchronise the N95 with Outlook
    6: Select all personal contacts in Outlook that you just imported via persoanl.csv, delete them to clean out Outlook.
    7: Re-import the Outlook.pst file you originally created above to restore your original (work?) outlook contacts.
    Thanks for taking the time to share "our" frustrations. As you've indicated, after enjoying the ease of managing Palm data both on the device and on the desktop, the Nokia N95 simply falls flat on its face (despite the shopkeeper's assurance it was far and above better). I have found that at least the generic PC Suite has a means to view the calendar and contacts on the desktop provided the phone is hooked up by USB. I still had to manually enter everything onto the phone to get it all as I want it, and have decided to only put the stuff I truly need to have with me at all times. I also tried to download an MP3 program but it won't accept the format (and I thought Sony had the wrap on exclusivity!?). When Nokia or another company comes up with a truly do-it-all-right format, I'll be first in line. Meantime, I will take my Palm on trips, and will tuck the MP3 player in a side pocket. This was an expensive mistake that I won't make again.

  • JPEG/PSD issue--I open a jpeg and edit it (levels, crop) and then "save as" and the save as option shows there are now levels in the image and it wants to save it as a .psd file or a copy with layers.  What am I doing that has these settings appear?

    16bit? Pixels extending beyond the canvas? (from a crop with delete unused pixels turn off).  Have you previously been saving PSD files?
    IME you sometimes have to tell Photoshop that the first save of a session is JPG, and it remembers from there on.  The way to 'tell' Photoshop that JPG, or PDF, or PNG etc are now your preferred format is to Ctrl (Cmd) click on that format in the Save As drop down list.  So long as the file does not have parameters that your chosen format does not support, then this should work for you.
    [EDIT]  Just noticed that you did include 'Crop' in the subject line.  Do you have 'Delete cropped pixels' checked?

    What sequence setting would you use to edit both 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in a single timeline in FCP. I'm experiencing quality and rendering issues.  I've tried numerous settings but can't seem to figure this one out.  Thanks for your assistance.

    Although you can combine the avchd 1920x1080 material with prores 1920x1080 in the same timeline, you might land up saving time just converting everything to 1920x1080 prores 422.   You'd probably reduce the amount of rendering while you're working and exporting when you're done by a great deal.  This workflow will require much more drive space.
