How can I clean up my contacts?

Just got the new iPhone & I have a LOT of redundancy in my Contacts list. Just wondering if there is a faster/easier way to clean that up instead of going through them one at a time?? For example, there are 5 entries for my daughter: 1 for each of her email addresses and another with her cell & home phone in it. Can those all be merged into one?? Help please.

I will be more than happy to help you clean up the contact list, tommybahama!
We first need to determine how the contacts are saved.
Did you save them to BackUp Assistant? If so, you can log in to http://bit.ly/OwsVcd to remove the duplicates.
If you have the contacts saved to Google, you should log in to your contacts via computer to delete any duplicates.

How can I clean up queue one-time on Sun Java system messaging 6.3

Hi,
<address>Our Email server have a problem, When I run _./imsimta qm directory tcp_local_, There are about 5 Millions of messages in the queue.</address>
Now our Email server send messages very slowly, how can I clean up queue one-time?
the command _./imsimta qclean_ is very slowly.
What can I do to prevent this problem?
our Email server version is :
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-6.03 (built Mar 14 2008; 32bit)
libimta.so 6.3-6.03 (built 17:12:37, Mar 14 2008; 32bit)
SunOS email-1 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890
Thank you !

If you have more than 100,000 messages in the queue, then look at the MAX_MESSAGES parameter in [the job_controller.cnf file|http://wikis.sun.com/display/CommSuite/Job+Controller+Configuration+File]. If the parameter is not specified, it defaults to 100000. If you have more than that number of messages in the channel queues, it will take a long time for new/legitimate messages to be sent because job_controller is only considering the first 100,000 messages in the queue.
If you get into the "imsimta qm" command do do "sum -database", it will show a summary of what job_controller has in its internal cache and therefore what job_controller is working on. If you compare that to "sum -directory" you will probably see a difference.
If these are all legitimate messages, you need to increase MAX_MESSAGES, cnbuild, and restart job_controller.
If they are not, then preventing this in the future will require determining how they got into your queue and correcting that.
As for removing them, the "imsimta qm" commands allow you to select messages by various criteria and then you can "return" or "delete" them. But yes, that will take a long time if there are many messages because it is a single threaded process and it needs to open and examine each message. You may be able to accomplish the task more quickly with a shell script that works on individual channel queue subdirectories and then run multiple copies of that script in parallel. After you have cleaned out the queue, restart job_controller.
Also, you might want to consider [the subdirs channel keyword|http://msg.wikidoc.info/index.php/Subdirs_and_nosubdirs_Channel_Options].

TS2776 How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

Depends on how big the file is. If itis only a couple of pages, or mostly text, the easiest way would be to e mail it. If it is a very large file you are going to need wifi. Take both pads to starbucks, and e mail it from there. Or if you have wifi, use drop box, for example.
Your other choice, avoiding wifi would be a bluetooth type transfer. There is an app call bluetooth file lite that reads like it will do what you need. The good news is it is free. The bad news is that it has terrible ratings. For grins, i am installing it now on a pad and a phone, and will see if it works.
With a bluetooth method, you need both devices in the same place. If you are trying to send your file across country, bluetooth will not work for you. you need e mail or drop box type solution, and if the file is big, you will almost certainly need wifi.

How can I set up group contacts on my IPad Air?

HOw can I set up group contacts on my IPad Air?

I Don't know if you can or not.
but you could try one if these 2 things:
-under a new contact in name type the names of the people. Next, I'm not sure if this will work, but for phone just put a different hone down.
-Also tou could just make a group message. In messages just type all the names in the to field after you tap compose.

I have duplicative song files in my library that are grayed out. This seems to cause a syncing problem to my ipod or iphone. How can I clean up this mess?

I chose to let iTunes rearrange my files and it appears to have duplicated them in my computer's drive. So now I have the same folders/files directly under my D drive (second computer hard drive) and also in the iTunes Music Folder that iTunes created. Wasn't sure what to do so I did another import and now I have files in my library that are grayed out with the small i symbol in the circle next to them. I also have the working (bolded) files too. How can I clean this up?

Is there a way to override the 256kbps "conversion" when uploading to iCloud?
No. All music that is mirrored in the cloud will be AAC@256 Kbps.

Along the same lines, if I "download" a song from my library to my iPhone, then plug my iPhone into my computer and sync the song file from my computer, will the higher quality original file overwrite the 256 one?
No, because with iTunes Match enabled on an iOS device traditional syncing of music via USB is disabled. All music management is done directly on the device.

Also, if I want to syncronize another computer using iTunes match, how can I get the higher quality audio files? Will I simply have to transport all of them by an exernal hard drive or thumb drive?
You will first have to copy the high-quality audio files to the computer, add them to the iTunes library then enable iTunes Match.

Click here and pick the option which best fits your situation. Rented movies can only be moved through the iPod and will not play on the new computer if any other method is used.

I have a new MacBook Pro and I followed these instructions, downlonading and installing the new Flash plugin. But when I looked in "/Library/Internet Plugins" there was no folder called "Disabled Plugins".
However, I did see two versions of Flash:
_Flash Player.plugin with old date
Flash Player.plugin with todays date
I deleted _Flash Player.plugin and this fixed the problem.

HT5262 how can I confirm all my contacts are backed up?

My apps are being deleted because my iphone 4 is on ios 4.2.7. So I want to upgrade. So I installed itunes, rebooted, and followed instruction. I want to verify my contacts from my PC somehow, but in the ...\mobilesync folder, all the files seems encrypted in hex names with binary data contact. Help, how can i very all my contacts intact before I blow away all the data/contacts/photos on my phone to do an upgrade. Thank you in advance!

I didn't use icloud because I had 6Gb photos, and it recommended to use itunes because of that. I did the itunes backup. I don't have outlook installed. You think from windows contacts I can import them from my iphone? How? Thanks for the reply though..getting there. I tried google, but I don't have groups setup, and itunes wanted me to pick a group to pick to export, of which, I had none.

With journaling, I have found that my computer is saving a large amount of data, logs of all the changes I make to files; how can I clean up these logs?

With journaling, I have found that my computer is saving a large amount of data, logs of all the changes I make to files; how can I clean up these logs?
For example, in Notes, I have written three notes; however if I click on 'All On My Mac' on the side bar, I see about 10 different versions of each note I make, it saves a version every time I add or delete a sentence.
I also noticed, that when I write an email, Mail saves about 10 or more draft versions before the final is sent.
I understand that all this journaling provides a level of security, and prevents data lost; but I was wondering, is there a function to clean up journal logs once in a while?
Thanks

Are you using Microsoft word? Microsoft thinks the users are idiots. They put up a lot of pointless messages that annoy & worry users. I have seen this message from Microsoft word. It's annoying.
As BDaqua points out...
When you copy information via edit > copy, command + c, edit > cut, or command +x, you place the information on the clipboard. When you paste information, edit > paste or command + v, you copy information from the clipboard to your data file.
If you edit > cut or command + x and you do not paste the information and you quite Word, you could be loosing information. Microsoft is very worried about this. When you quite Word, Microsoft checks if there is information on the clipboard & if so, Microsoft puts out this message.
You should be saving your work more than once a day. I'd save every 5 minutes. command + s does a save.
