How can I eliminate prefix and suffix fields from Apple Contacts?

Apple Contacts has a terrible system that adds "Mr" or "Ms" in front of every name in my contacts and sometimes a suffix.  This is a truly bad feature.  There must be some way to eliminate these fields from Contacts.  How can the prefix and suffix fields be eliminated from Contacts?

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

    The new machine has Mavericks which is fine. And I will leave it as is. I don’t want anything from my old machine other than 2 apps that I will need on the new one. I want to be able to install those apps that I bought from the App Store onto my new computer. I assume Apple doesn’t want me to have the apps installed on 2 machines at the same time so I wonder if just uninstalling them from my old machine will release them for re-install on the new one.

  • How can i subtract budget and actuals amount from gl_balances in discoverer

    I have a problem with a discoverer report.
    The table is GL_BALANCES (Financials), and i tried to subtract data of current year and last year, same month, or data from actuals and budgets amounts.
    Data from actuals have the "A" code in the ACTUAL_FLAG field, and budgets amounts have a "B" code. I construct a cross-tab report with ACTUAL_FLAG field in the "X" axis and the accounts segments in the "Y" axis (From GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS). The problem is: How can i substract budget and actuals amounts? Is the same field but differents columns in report.
    I cannot use analytics function because the version of database does not support that .
    Somebody told me: "...You need to construct a custom folder to handle this..."
    I don't want to finish the reports in Excel...
    Thanks.

    Hi Miguel
    You can either create a database view or custom folder to do this using aliases for the two joins to the same table.
    For example, you need something like this in the body of the SQL:
    select
    act.code_combination_id,
    nvl(act.period_net_dr,0) actual_net,
    nvl(bgt.period_net_dt,0) budget_net,
    nvl(bgt.period_net_dt,0) - nvl(act.period_net_dr,0) diff,
    act.period_name
    from
    gl_balances act,
    gl_balances bgt
    where
    act.set_of_books_id = bgt.set_of_books_id and
    act.code_combination_id = bgt.code_combination_id and
    act.period_name = bgt.period_name
    Of course you will still need to add your own joins to get the code combinations but I trust you get the gist.
    Hope this helps
    Regards

  • How can I avoid displaying specific extended field from a specific template

    Hi,

    Best Regards
    Swastik

    Hi Swastik,
    Your requirement is very much possible by Page Customization.
    In Page Customization when you add the field for Hidden = yes
    there are more attributes : Dimension Field , Dimension Field Type, Dimension Value
    In this put
    Dimension Field = DISPLAY_NAME
    Dimension Field Type = Object Referance
    Dimension Value = click search help to select your template.
    Create this for each and every Template you reqiure to Hide the field.
    Hope this solves your case.
    Regards,

  • How can I merge bookmarks and saved passwords from two computers onto one computer?

    Before I got rid of my old computer, I backed up my profile folder on a thumb drive. Then, I got a new computer and started customizing firefox, adding bookmarks and new saved passwords, without ever uploading my passwords and bookmarks from my old computer 's profile. How can I add the bookmarks from my old computer's profile folder onto my new computer's new firefox profile?

    That is about saving your current bookmarks to an HTML file because you would lose those when you restore a JSON backup from the backup.

  • How can I save finished and shared movies from old iMovieHD-projects

    Hi there, I have a big problem:
    I have found some old iMovieHD 6 Projects. (.iMovieProject) that already have been finished years ago.
    Now I would like to save the finished movies outside the projects but I can't find a way to do this although I've been searching in the www for hours.
    When I go to the folder 'shared movies' I find a small .mov file - it's only some KB big.
    I can start this and the movie plays with no problem im QuickTime Player 7, the quality ist quite ok - original films were .DV from a camcorder.
    When I use iDVD I can take this movie without problems and burn it as DVD or .img on my hard disk.
    In this .img I can find the folder VIDEO-TS where I can find the movie al .VOB. But the Quality is really awful.
    How can I save the finished movie right out of the folder 'shared movies' in the best quality, maybe as .mov or other ?
    I can't install iMovieHD 6.0.3 because my old iLive install-DVD was sold with my old macbook years ago and I don't know if it would work  anyway on Mavericks 10.9.5
    Now I have iMovie 10 and 11. Importing the old projects would not solve the problem because only the original clips were imported, not the project itself.
    Would be QuickTime Pro a solution ? There are items like 'save as' or 'export' but I don't know if it works with this kind of files...

    Save the clips as Quicktime files (full quality), then you can import them into later versions of iMovie. An iMovie 6 project would not be compatible with recent versions of iMovie.

    Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS7, it has basically become a brick.  It constantly freezes, and the home button becomes completely inoperable.  People have suggested a number of fixes for the home button problem ("calibrating", tightening screws, etc.) but none of the fixes solved the problem.  Through trial and error, I've come to realize that the problem is that the phone doesn't have enough computing power and that too much of its RAM gets used up by background processes, causing the phone to freeze.
    I have found an app that stops unnecessary background processes currently running, frees up RAM, and lets the phone function properly (Free RAM 1.3). Once I've run this app, the phone functions perfectly.
    However, this clean up only happens each time the app is launched (ie: it does not continuously free up RAM).  So, I constantly have to run it (and sometimes am not able to because the phone is frozen and the home button won't work).
    When it is running, the app  displays the background processes that are running.  Looking at the list, there are many processes for which I have no need, such as processes related to automatic checking for app updates, processes related to iCloud (which I do not use), etc.  Preventing these processes from running in the first place would go a long way in making my phone more useable (being able to return to a previous iOS would be a better option, but Apple won't allow this).
    Here is my question:  is there a way to prevent unnecessary background processes from running at all?
    Which app is this?

  • How can I transfer text and call history from an iPhone 5 to an iPhone 6 Plus?

    I just received the iPhone 6 Plus today.  In moving information to it from my iPhone 5, I discovered that my text history, call history, and voicemail history haven't been transferred.  I had synced the iPhone 5 to iTunes and then synced the iPhone 6 Plus to iTunes.  But, since the operating system on the 6 Plus was newer than the 5, iTunes made me treat the 6 Plus as a new phone instead of just backing up the old phone.  How can I transfer the call, text, and voicemail history?

    Make a backup of the old device and restore the new device to that backup. You will get an exact duplicate of the old phone.

  • How can I remove red and green lines from a footage?

    I cannot remove red and green lines without removing the title graphics that I have in my footage. How can I solve the problem and keep the graphic there?

    @Ann Benns
    I will try to do that. Thank you!
    @Bill Hunt
    Well, the raw footage is an avi filmed with a handycam. This error occurred
    the next day after I finished the editing in Adobe Premiere cs5. It might
    be something wrong with the title graphics that I use, but still if there's
    a solution I would like to find it out as this error occurred before.

  • How can I stop thumbnails and keyword tags from rapid movement?

    PSE 10 for Mac: When going through catalog thumbnails or trying to locate a particular keyword tag, the images or the tags just whiz by rapidly.  How can I prevent this?  Thank you.

    I think even using Get Info may not reveal the change, though it is possible the behaviour has altered since I last tested it. Playing or updating the tracks location in a script such as UpdateTagInfo seems to get iTunes to re-evaluate the tag.
    Assuming WMP is involved it may be best to make the necessary settings adjustments to prevent further changes, use the script to get all of the background changes exposed within iTunes, then correct as you see fit. Alternatively I do have another script called ExportImport that could be used to back up the current state of your tags (you should temporarily rename the media folder during the export phase), after which you would then run UpdateTagInfo and then use ExplortImport in its import mode to restore the corrupted data.
