How can I add gps coordinates to contacts for location reminders?

Hi,
It seems geocoding for things like location based reminders in the iphone 4 seems to be EXTREMELY inaccurate in South Africa.
If I search for an address in the maps app it finds it, but clicking on the same address in the contact list (where the reminders app find their address) to see it on the map shows any addresses in my city to show in the centre of the city, not at the propper address.
So in short, because the app doesn't get the correct location fromt he addresses, it doesn't know when to remind me.
I was hoping there would be a way of adding co-ordinates to the address box (I tried by haven't been able to get it right) that can be used for the location based reminders.
I think it's really stupid that the maps app can find a location fine when I search for the address, but clicking on the address in the contacts app doesn't give the same result.
Can anyone help me find a way to make this work?
Here's more info I've asked the same question at EE > http://rdsrc.us/zBKr7i
Thanks
Steven

I have also experienced this.
Tried to put in my address into the contact app and when tapping on address it opens it up in google maps, but pops a "No results" message. But when you immediately tap search (which have the values populated from the contacts app) it will find the address.
Then I add that address from the maps to the contact and delete the old one.
But like stevenfromjohannesburg said, when you add that address it doesn't add it correctly and the next time you tap it, it reverts to the centre or default of the suburb.
I've even tried adding only my suburb (Jukskei Park, Gauteng) which searches fine in the google maps app, but when tapping from the contacts app it doesn't find it. And when saving that from the maps app to contacts app, it saves it as Randburg ?
Very frustrating.

How can I add gps information into my pictures?
I understand Photos doens't have this feature.
Só how could I do it with an external application. Is it possible? Can I even use iPhoto with the same library (since they share stuff) to do it?

Photos does not support to add location information yet.
Add the GPS before you import the photos to Photos. I hope this will change with the next release.
You could ,for example, first import to iPhoto, add the locations, batch change the titles and captions, do all the things that are not yet supported in the new Photos, then export the photos from iPhoto and import them to Photos.
Or use the free exiftool, if you like the Terminal.
See: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool_pod.html#geotagging_exampl es
To install exiftool: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/%7Ephil/exiftool/install.html
Other convenient apps are Jetphoto Studio, Geotagalog, there are many more ..
I use Jetphoto Studio, but it is not free.

I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers. How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad? Can I use AirPort Express?

I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers. How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad? Can I use AirPort Express?

Yes. You can directly connect an 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) using an Ethernet cable. The AXn would then just need to be configured as a bridge to allow the D-Link to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for all network clients connected to either router.
In this configuration, the AXn would broadcast a wireless network for your wireless network clients to connect to.

I need to add a table much like the one above to my form. How can I do this.

Your best bet might be to use a Formatted Text for "Turnover" on top of your fields and then use caption on top for label positon.
OR you can have the Formatted text on the same line as your fields too
Hope this helps

You have opened the Render Engine. Either you clicked on the wrong app or you have a fouled up text file in preferences. There are several threads on this forum that point to the solution.

How can I add photos to my contacts? It only shows default, recent and video cam

I will not find the way to add images to my contacs, Mountain Lion shows only default, recent and videocam

You cannot. this is how the iphone handles photos.
ALL PHOTOS synced to iphone can be accessed via the "Photo Library". Those same photos can also be accessed from the folders that you synced. Just as you can find a book in your public library and you find the same book in the fiction section.
Stop trying to resolve it as there is nothign to resolve. All is working as it should.

How can i add servername to my report for all cataloged database

1) Im using following sql statement to find the backup type,status and their timings and i would also like to see the databasename with it's corresonding servername.
select
DB_NAME,DB_KEY,
input_type "Backup Object",
output_device_type "Target Device",
status "Status",
output_bytes_display "Backup Size",
time_taken_display "Time Taken",
start_time "Backup Begin",
end_time "Backup End"
from rman.rc_rman_backup_job_details
where start_time > sysdate - 1
and input_type in ('DB INCR','DB FULL','ARCHIVELOG','BACKUPSET')
order by DB_NAME,DB_KEY
/

The only information that will be available will be from one of the RC_* views. For a list of the views see the index in the Database Backup and Recovery Reference
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28273/index.htm#R
The database name is available as the NAME column of the RC_DATABASE view. You will need to join this view to others at least on DB_KEY.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28273/rcviews027.htm#sthref2607
I'm not aware of any view that would have the server name. You will need to map the database name or id to your own table of server locations.
