Help understanding Contacts is needed, and I though I knew...

Well, I spent a rainy saturday sorting out all my contact lists between my imac, mbp, and android phone. I have contacts in all the usual places (gmail accounts, google +, icloud, facebook and On My Mac. but I finally have all the lists and groups somewhat normalized and perhaps even syncing properly... exept I don't understand this:
The relationship between what appears on machines as iCloud groups and On My Mac groups. I have something like this:
Where the exact lists appear On My Mac as in the cloud. But there does not appear to be any syncing between the On My Mac and the iCloud groups unless the group or contact is dragged there. Is this working as expected?
Slight bugaboos I have, perhaps you can help:
The total # of contacts in the All iCloud group differs by 1 from the # of contacts in All on My Mac group.
When I use the group CIG Nepal in an email, and expand the group inside the header of the message, there are missing contacts... huh? No matter how many times I flushed the group and recreated, it's always the same.
Because I used Merge Duplicates a few times to clean those up, I now have duplicated data within the contacts themselves, like this, rampant thru:
Well, creds to Eltima's Syncmate, which made the selective pushing and pulling I needed to do possible between macs and my Galaxy Note II.

This can be the result of selecting the wrong driver. An older, unsupported laser printer will sometimes work with the generic Postscript driver.

Need help understanding placement of images and text

I am a beginner with contribute and as such contributing to
our website with text and images. I may be missing something, but
am having a frustrating time of including and arranging images on a
page. It appears that the "drag and drop" capability is very
limited. I am having to use spacebar, enter key, image alignment,
resizing, and padding to arrange pictures. Production is at a
crawl..need quidance quick!
The following link is to our website...I am attempting to
create a gallery of projects with each project having its own page
of text and images. A temporary link to them is found at the bottom
of Services page. I appreciate a pointing in the right direction.
http://www.watsoncommercialgc.com/ProjectGalleryIndex.htm

Glad that worked out fine.
Dreamweaver is a development tool with lots of possibility.
But purchasing this is an investment of course. But adding
galleries and stuf like that will be easier to accomplish.
Alternative is to open the page souirce of Contribute pages in an
external app. and dive into the source and adjust that tom your
needs.
You can allways download a trial of Dreamweaver an try it
out.

In need of some help understanding load-modules.sh and the boot proces

umm i was bored a little whiel ago, then i rememberd recent posts about how slow arch boots,,
and also relating the an article in the wiki, about disabling load-modules.sh in variosu ways.
then i got thinking, why remove functionality for just 10 seconds? why not make it faster;;
i know, let's write it in C and see what we can get out of it.
anyway, a couple questions.
i looked in /lib/udev/load-modules.sh; where i encounter these lines;;
depmods="$(/sbin/modprobe -i --show-depends $1)"
depmods="$(echo $depmods \
| sed "s#^insmod /lib.*/$.*$\.ko.*#\1#g" \
| sed 's|-|_|g')"
i'm sure i must be missing something. but is $depmods really supposed to be return 1 element, i.e $1. ?
and where does /lib/initcpio/udev/load-modules.sh come into play.

@phrakture:
hmm, i wanna boot the system in dash now... *itch*itch* should i scratch it?
@klixon:
the script works perfectly as-is,
there was an update about an hour ago or something.
the line you refer to, was broken. i was just messing around with it
to see ho much faster i could make it.
i scratched it,
it booted ok,
except when it came boot start the gdm daemon at the end of the daemons array.
i couldn't test if it booted any faster as bootchartd had syntax errors, same as the gdm issue
===========================================================================================
update::
if [ -n "$BLACKLIST" ]; then
depmods="$(/sbin/modprobe -i -q --show-depends $1 | sed -e 's|-|_|g')"
if [ -z "$depmods" ]; then
/usr/bin/logger -p info "cannot find module $1"
#echo "MISSING[ $1 ]"
exit 1
fi
for blackmod in $BLACKLIST; do
if [[ $depmods == *"/$blackmod.ko"* ]]; then
/usr/bin/logger -p info "udev load-modules: $blackmod is blacklisted"
#echo "BLACKLISTED[ $blackmod ]"
exit 1
fi
done
fi
it appears that by doing the search the other way round, i.e
check if there is a blacklisted mod as dependency as opposed to a mod is blacklisted
doing so we can eliminate most of the sensitization
and chain the remaining san. to the modprobe,
long story short
the code above appears to be about 1.6 times faster than the current implementation

Help with contacts between iphone and address book

I am learning my way through the syncing activities and will say, as some other have, that it is a bit more complicated than I had hoped. I've had a mac for over 20 years and used the older mac.com, which I would sync with my computer. I did not renew it when I found I wasn't using it for the cost.
I recently got my first iphone and had the contacts moved from my old cell phone by AT&T when I bought it.
I have a lot of contacts in my imac's address book and I do not want to move all of them to my iphone. Some are just historical in case I want to email that person. For my iphone, I just want the contacts I use most often.
So, in address book, I made a new group and named it iphone contacts. In this I have about 20 cnotacts with email addresses.
On my iphone, I have many of these same people listed, but just their phone numbers as I did not send emails from my previous wireless phone.
So my questions are:
is there any way to get the two to combine via syncing? I want to keep the phone numbers in the iphone contacts and combine them with the email addresses that are in my address book on the imac. I would like to avoid having to open them both and do a lengthy copy and paste event But unless there is some way to tell the lists to combine with each other, on the iphone and in the group list I made in address book that I name iphone contacts, than that is what I'll do. But I thought it was worth a query here to see what options I might have.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Bump, I did not get any replies to my query if there was a way to combine my iphone numbers in my cell phone contacts with email addresses in a group list in my imac's address book via syncing, so I am wondering if anyone knows if there is an app that might help me.
Thank you in advance.

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using Windows 7

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

Need help understanding JPA and detached entities.

I keep getting the dreaded "Cannot Persist detached object" and I cannot understand why EclipseLink is even trying to persist the object.
The following is a general scenerio if the issue:
1. I have 3 objects "Parent", "Child", and "Agency".
2. I create a new "Agency" and persist it using em.persist(agency).
3. The "Parent" object contains a OneToMany relation to "Child" and "Child" has a reference to "Agency".
4. So I do something like:
agency = new Agency();
em.persist(agency);
child = new Child();
child.setAgency(agency);
parent = new Parent();
parent.addChild(child);
em.persist(parent);
I have Cascade.ALL on the OneToMany relation so I expect that persisting the parent will also persist the child. This part works, however for some reason the agency is trying to be saved and that's were I get the error.
Now if agency was not already persisted, everything works fine. Parent, Child, and Agency all get persisted.
Since there isn't really a way to merge() agency how do I handle this issue?
I don't really understand all the clones and how merge works, so I don't have a good grasp on how cascade works itself through the objects? I did step through the code in the debugger and it simply wants to register agency as a new object even though the primary key is set.

Hello,
I believe what you are showing and trying is just confirming what I mentioned in my previous post. The specification does not allow you to persist a detached entity and forces an exception to be thrown. When you have a detached entity referenced through a relation marked with cascade persist and then call persist on the owning object, it is the same thing as calling persist on the detached object directly - you will get an exception. If the relation is not marked cascade persist, and agency is new then you definetely will get an exception - without the provider finding out and throwing its own exception, the child object would have tried to insert a foreign key to an agency that doesn't exist.
Not marking the relation as cascade persist or using find will only work if the agency exists and was previously persisted. The problem then you mention is that you might have made changes to the detached agency or it may not already exist - the JPA provider only finds changes made to managed objects. Merge can be used when you do not know if it exists, and it will pickup changes made to the detached object.
Solutions are:
1) agency = em.merge(agency);
child.setAgency(agency);
or 2) em.merge(parent);
Solution 1 might be more efficient, since merge on new objects could require more resources than persist due to existence checking requirements.
Best Regards,
Chris

Need help understanding how ipv4 and ipv6 co-exist

I'm trying to understand something that happened in our network recently. Current, we're all ipv4 based, but a few machines here and there have ipv6 enabled by mistake. Everything has been working ok, but recently we had some dhcp issues. I'm trying to understand how exactly ipv6 and ipv4 work together.
Questions:
- if we have workstations with ipv6 enabled but no dhcpv6 servers, does the ff02::1:2 multicast address exist on the network? If something starts up a dhcpv6 server somewhere, would that explain why several workstations have started sending out dhcpv6 solicit messages?
- If workstations attempt to get an address via dhcpv6 and get no response, will it try dhcp with ipv4, or will it just assign a 169.254.*.* address?

Several issues on my Classic. Contacts, BB Link and Battery Monitor. Help + rant

Hello everyone,
Initially I wanted to make this post specific to my most recent problem (BB Link) but maybe I can get some help with all of my problems in one post.
1. Contacts display and Caller ID - my biggest problem.
I used gmail to sync my contacts when I switched from iPhone to Android and now on BlackBerry. I had no problems with the iPhone and the Nexus 5, but Contacts on BlackBerry is bad. Very bad. I thought that switching to BlackBerry I'd have 0 problems with calling people because it's a "serious" business phone, and business people really need the call function to work 100%. I have only 250 contacts and they are fully synced (2weeks now). I don't have duplicates.
I suspect that the culprit is "smart dialing". The "feature" I can't turn off. Maybe someone can set up smart dialing better than I can.
- I live in Romania so our Country Code is +40 .
- The rest of the number is xxx xxx xxx. (9 characters)
- so, a Romanian number is +40 xxx xxx xxx when dialing from abroad.
When dialing normally (national calls), we have to add the 0 from the country code in front of the phone number. That makes our phone numbers 0xxx xxx xxx. Due to this format, I've set the "National Number Length" to 10. (Same problem with 9). And we don't have an area code.
Just now I received a call from someone and it showed his caller ID. On the next call (same person), it didn't show the caller ID. In the Call Log, I could only see the number. I pressed info and it showed the name. Then I pressed back and the name was associated with the number again in the Call Log. (10 minutes after writing this i check my call log and I notice that there are some numbers that called but are missing right now from the log. its the 2nd time this happened. they will probably show up in the next few hours).
I also cleaned all my numbers and they all have the same format now. It is CLEARLY a blackberry problem. I had NO problems with caller IDs on iPhone or Android even though the format wasnt consistent through all contacts.
And why can't I just copy the numbers locally? I tried selecting all contacts and "Copy" to local but I just can't. Apparently because they are linked contacts. It shouldn't be this hard.
Also, why do I see linkedin contacts when I chose '"hide" in its menu?
2. BlackBerry Link - (and why isn't it integrated with blend anyway?).
- couldn't back-up over wi-fi. iPhone and android backup over wifi on their servers. I think i connected both of those devices fewer than 10 times total to my computer. Everything was done over wifi. Now i have to connect my blackberry weekly so it can backup? I don't mind that BB doesn't make a full backup on their server, but it should be at least possible to do so over wifi on my network. (or maybe I don't know how to do it?)
- photos. Instead of building its own library, or making it possible to sync directly with folders in my computer, BlackBerry Link uses the iPhoto Library (on my Mac) - which I DONT USE. So I set Iphoto properly, but Link doesnt detect the new updates to the library, I still can't find my specific folder in BlackBerry Link.
3. Battery. The battery monitor is completely useless. Once, after a full charge it showed me that I had 70% battery for 4 hours until it dropped under 70%. It is almost funny what I see in the battery monitor on a daily basis.
The battery life is ok, but I rely mostly on luck. Sometimes it would drop 10% in 10 minutes and then hold a 40% charge for several hours. I don't really know how much battery I have but it generally holds for 1 day so I'm not that worried.
The rant:
I wanted to have a BB for a long time. My gf had a 9900 and even though the camera stopped working randomly, it was very reliable. I used the Q10 shortly after it launched and I noticed at that time that I need more apps than BB World can offer flipboard, banking and just a few others, so I didn't make the switch then. Now with the classic, which has android runtime and the toolbelt (which i really liked on the 9900) I thought it's time to make the switch. But I find it surprisingly annoying exactly where I expected to see its strenght - reliability.
I don't mind the blackberry link part so much, or that android apps work a bit laggy. I expected that. But I DO expect to see who is calling me and to have a reliable battery monitor.
Other issues:
- it doesn't completely lock the buttons when in holster. why do I have to be careful how I position my phone in my pocket so I don't accidentally turn it off? Also the holster rubs against the volume down button when inserted (original BB holster).
- weird noises when I change the volume during a song or youtube video
- due to a bug in a webpage or in the browser, it used 600 mb in about 10 minutes while running as an active frame.
Apparently I blew off some steam. I really want to like this device. Hope future updates will make it better.
Edit: After a reboot the call log returned to normal....

First thing I would do is to switch the following off:
Contacts > Settings
Automatically Merge Contacts = Off
Unmerge Existing Contacts = On
Just to clarify, do you have all the contacts phone numbers in the format
+40 xxx xxx xxx ?
This would be ideal.

Help understanding what I have in my New GT70 and what can I do with it.

In the last few days I received my new gt70 from amazon. I must say I love it. Absolutely. I plan on building a supercomputer one day, but this laptop more than sufficed my immediate needs and I can save some money for a year or so. Anyways, I bought the second most expensive one right under the dragon edition bc quite frankly im not a huge lover of the color red or dragons.. (I did when I was much younger) However i went with the second most expensive bc its all black and seems to have enough on it to keep me happy.
Problem is that I really like the SSD's mine came with the 2 in raid 0 for a total of 256gb. Then I have this 1tb HDD. Now for the related questions. Can I replace the HDD with a huge SSD? That would kick ass. Also, could I or is there another slot for a 3rd SSD? What do the 2 128's look like? I want to do this without needing to remove the existing SSD's bc Im not that savvy on how to do it all. Maybe I can bring it somewhere. Im in the New Orleans area. As a side note/question. Of my 256gb a ton of space was used when I got the thing, (before adding anything) I understand startup programs and all.. and the SSD's are C: drive.. the 1TB D; HDD is missing 100gb and when u open the drive there are absolutely ZERO file folders in there.. Is everything really on my SSD's ? Whats preloaded on my HDD to take away 100gb and wheres the files?
Bottom Line I want more SSD. Money isnt a big deal.
Second set of questions. Ram. I have 24gb (sure more than enough) but if I wanted to, how would I get mine up to 32gb.. Replace everything or add to some existing empty slots?
Im pretty much cool with everything else. I have the 780m (i think is the best available at the moment) and the best cpu from MSI.. So yea, PLEASE HELP!!!

Ok I looked on the box and it does say GT70 20E.. so im good on that. And the sticker does say ram (8gbX3) so adding another stick will be childs play. (even for someone like me).. Ill just replace the HDD with the SSD asap and I guess I shouldn't worry about messing up or missing files bc you said missing 100gb with no files in there is normal.. So I just pop the old one out and put the new one in. Should be that easy. (maybe install some drivers) Ill do more research so I dont mess things up. Or get one of my super tech friends to come assist/teach me.
I also want to change out the thermal paste.
MAJOR QUESTION!!!>.... I cannot understand why this is happening to me, but I play games on steam. I tried downloading a game overnight last night and when I came down my computer was off. I rebooted it up and took a shower came back down and it was off again.. All the settings in the power management are set to NEVER shutdown or sleep. Im not running hot, as I had my fan on, AC on 60, Fan in the room on, and a fan pad thing under it on. I didnt downgrade to windows 7 yet, and my not, and this is a legal copy of course.. Unless im running a benchmark or playing a serious game i idle, surf the web, and download, around 30-40 Degrees Celsius. It still shuts down though. Ill let it run again and see it the problem persists and let you know.

Portfolio site, need help with contact form

Hi,
Im a graphic designer turned web designer student. I dont know A LOT of flash, but im learning more as time goes by in and out of school. I currently redid my portfolio website, before it was more of a design taken into dreamweaver and uploaded. Now everything is not completely done, but im doing the site in flash.
www.Nikdesigns.com, if anyones interested...
but im trying to set up a really basic contact page. I have a name/email and message input text boxes and a submit button so far. Is there anyway someone can explain to me exactly what code I need, and what I need to do to be able to set this up correctly? Or link me a good tutorial?
I understand flash needs a php to send the info out and comunicate with, but other then that im lost. What actionscript? and what keyframe?
flash is so frustrating =/ someone please help, lol.

If your contact page is just 1 of the many pages in your site, I'll recommend you write it in HTML/PHP/JSP.
There are many cases when Flash/AS is the efficient tool to get jobs done. But just my humble opinion, I think in this case you'll be more efficient to construct the contacts page with mark-up languages.
Of course, it is possible to do it in Flash/AS and not difficult. I just have 1 question before I go off and try:
When an user submits the form, how do you wish to receive it? As an email in your inbox? Store it in a database? Or elsewhere?
Cheers,

Hello can someone help me I have an iphone 4 and my daughter has an ipod touch we are on the same email address but somehow with in the last 25hrs all of my contacts are gone and only hers on on my phone is there a way for me to get all my contacts back?

Hello can someone help me I have an iphone 4 and my daughter has an ipod touch we are on the same email address but somehow with in the last 25hrs all of my contacts are gone and only hers on on my phone is there a way for me to get all my contacts back?

If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person

I need help understanding how the Apple components integrate to create a system across all my devices?

I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
For example:
Buy A, B, C to achieve "X"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add D to achieve "Y"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add "E" to achieve "Z"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme. For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice? Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that? And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why? Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel or sit on the couch in my PJs?
If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy.
A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.

I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
What business software?
Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
Update what across all devices?
For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
Best of luck.

Please help. Half my contacts are missing and think I've tried everything!

Hi there
Sorry this is a long post but I'm a bit desperate and hope you can help:
I dont have a PC or ipad or anything but do have an iphone 5 and over the weekend my emails (to my live.com account) weren't sending off my phone.
So I deleted the live/hotmail account and reinstalled the account. I noticed that upon re-installation there was no option for 'contacts', just 'notes' and 'calendar' but I didnt pay it much attention as I have an exchange account listed on my phone which features contacts, email, notes, calendar etc etc.
Yesterday out of the blue some of my contacts went missing (after sending a text to a person, a few hours later their name vanished). I deduced that all the contacts that had vanished were email addresses and newer numbers (over the past few years).
I still had the 334 numbers I've accumulated over the past 10 years.
So today - after looking at apple community help sites - I took the following steps:
- Checked all contacts groups were ticked (they were)
- Tried switching the contacts box on and off.
- I deleted my newly installed Live Account as it seemed unnecessary as I could send/receive emails on my exchange account.
- I then deleted my exchange account and re-installed it.
- Hey presto, all the numbers and emails addresses which had vanished came back.
- BUT DOOM... all my initial numbers have gone. This is really bad (relatives, work mates, boss etc etc all lost).
- So then I tried to look at how to ask iCloud to sync contacts but couldn't really find an answer anywhere.
- So I tried to log into my iCloud on a public computer to check what contacts I had and move them manually but after logging on (for first time ever) using my iCloud email address and also my live.com email address, no contacts we listed as being in the Cloud.
- In terms of synching data all I could find was an instruction to turn the 'contacts' tab in icloud off (whilst keeping contacts on iphone) then switching it back on and asking it to merge.
But this didnt achieve anything new.
- So I repeated the step above and then as instructed on one post selected iCloud backup. This hasn't helped either and I'm worried that I have updated my icloud to only include my Exchange contacts and not my old numbers.
So I'm panicking that i'll never get my important numbers back! Any advice?
My only glimmer of hope is that when I changed from iphone 4 to iphone 5 earlier this year, all of my data was switched using the icloud function (but possibly my live/hotmail account too), which suggests to me that icloud does have all the numbers.
I still have the iphone4 handset too - so could perhaps get the numbers off that? But I don't know how so any advice very welcome!!
Please.

I'm not sure if this will help you or not and you may have tried it already. But, I was having problems with my 20gb ipod (same one you have) and tried everything, including taking it to a local repair shop and even considered just chucking it. Then I read in one of these posts to simply reboot my computer. So I did and guess what, it worked. I felt like such an idiot but sometimes the simplest fixes are the ones you overlook. I don't know if itunes 7 needed a reboot or if there was a problem because other users (my wife) were logged into their user accounts also, but try doing that.
I hope that does the trick for you. If not, sorry I couldn't have been any more help.
