How do I bulk edit contact's nicknames to first and last names?
i imported contacts to the contacts app and they all say "NoName".
i click on one of them and the first and last name fields are empty but the nickname field has the first and last name in it.
how can i bulk edit 1120 contacts to change the full nickname to a first and last name?
ex: "First" ~ "Last" ~ "Nickname"
"Blank" ~ "Blank" ~ "John Smith"
i want to to be:
"John" ~ "Smith"
help me create an applescript or use a program or something cuz its killing me....thanks
ohh and i used both of the following applescripts and nothing happened:
tell application "Address Book"
set all_Persons to every person in group "Test"
repeat with per_son in all_Persons
set nknm to per_son's nickname
set per_son's first name to word 1 of nknm
set per_son's last name to word -1 of nknm
end repeat
end tell
ANDDDDDD
tell application "Address Book"
set {ASTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, space}
repeat with onePerson in (get people whose nickname is not missing value)
set N to text items of (get nickname of onePerson)
tell contents of onePerson
set first name to text items 1 thru -2 of N as text
set last name to text item -1 of N as text
end tell
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ASTID
end tell
neither did anything...
to any1 that wants to use the scripts and have them work just type "save" on the next like after end tell and itll do it........

Searching contacts only works once first and last name entered
Evening.
I'm experiencing a frustration in as much as if I'm searching for a name i.e Adam Smith, it isn't until I enter the S that the search starts to register. It seems you have to enter 5 characters or more before the search begins.
Secondly, I've added a mobile number into an existing contacts stored details. I'd have expected the call log to show the contact name and number now as oppose to just unknown. This is what used to happen on my Bold. But it doesn't. The numbers been added as a 2nd mobile number rather than main number but thought with such an advanced machine it would register.when I type in A it starts to get me results and narrows them down as i type more in Universal search and in contacts app too

After intalling some updates for Final cut, I m asked to put my first and last names and serial number which unfortunatelt i do not have. how do i go about this?
To add to what BenB advised, make sure you have proof of purchase when you call Apple for a replacement serial number.
For future reference, it is a good idea to keep all software serial numbers in a database or text document. Considering the cost of the software, keeping a list of serial numbers can come in very handy at times like this.

How to show the First and Last name of the user instead of user name
Gurus,
We have the full email id of the user as the portal user name. Right now we are using the "Item Attributes - Current User" to show the user name. We don't want to show this anymore. We would like to show the First and Last name of the user on the Portal page. How can i do this. Please post a reply if you have some idea about it.
Thanks
Raj
---------I believe this is possible using the security APIs. See http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/PLSQL/DOC/PLDOC_9026/INDEX.HTML and look for person_info (Returns user information, given a user name)
under wwsec_api
Suggest posting any follow-up questions to the Security forum - http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jsp?forum=6 -
iphone 6+ somehow has switched my name on emails into my nephew's name. We share a first and last name but not a middle name. For example, my name might be John George Doe and his name John James Doe. How did this happen? How do I correct it.
So if the solution recommended by Ralph is not working then the other option is this:
Please make sure that the emails work correctly when signed into, on a computer
Then delete the account off your phone - you will not lose the emails
Reset the phone
Re add the account back in and see if that helps the issue

How to split 'Full Name' into two columns for 'First' and 'Last' name??
Any ideas on how to achieve this? http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/split-names-by-using-convert-text-t o-columns-HA001149851.aspx
If:
A1 = Fistname Lastname
For firstname:
(First Name) B1 =SUBSTITUTE($A1," " & $C1, "")
For the Last name:
(Last Name) C1 =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","#",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")))))
If
A1 = Lastname, Firstname
(Last Name) B1 =SUBSTITUTE($A1,", " & $C1, "")
(First Name) C1 =RIGHT($A1,LEN($A1)-FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE($A1," ","#",LEN($A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE($A1," ","")))))
Let me know if you need one that traps multiple commas or middle names. -
When viewing a text conversation, how can I see the person's first AND last names?
When I view my text "inbox", they are listed according to how I have each contact entered...for example John Smith. When I look within the text conversation with that person, at the top it only says "John". This is very frustrating. (I only recently upgraded to iOS 7 and have a feeling this is one of many things I'm going to resent.) Can't I express a preference for the full name to appear?

Outlook contacts sync puts some 1st AND last names in iPhone 1st name
After I initially synched all my Outlook contacts onto my new iPhone, some of the names show up on the iPhone as "lastname firstname" (which is what I want), but some show up as "firstname lastname". The problem with this is that they don't sort correctly. I've looked into the Outlook contact, and, in both cases, they have the correct firstname and lastname fields. In the iPhone contact, the entire name (firstname lastname) is in the iPhone firstname field and the lastname field is blank. I can find no other difference between the correctly synched contact and the incorrectly synched contact.
Any suggestions??The sync messed up somehow. Sync does that sometimes.
If you plug in the phone, but don't sync it yet, I believe there is an option somewhere (labeled Advanced) to overwrite the information on the phone with information from your computer. You might try that, for contacts. Explore all the iPhone panels in iTunes.
Alternatively, delete all your contacts on the phone and re-sync.
Caveat: I'm no sync expert and don't use windows. -
How can I display the first and last name using a paramater as employee ID?
Hi SAP,
I have a parameter that is called {? Employee ID}. What I want to do is display the first and last name based on the employee ID value entered in {? Employee ID} in the page header of the report. Right now, when I put the following formula in the page header only some pages get the right result while other pages dont....
if table.employeeid = {? Employee ID} then
table.firstname" "table.lastname
It appears as though if the first record in the details section on the beginning of each page happens to be the employee under {? Employee ID} then it prints it correctly, if it isn't I get a null value in the page header.
Anyone have any ideas?
ZHi Try this,
Whileprintingrecords;
if ={?EmpID} then
Also check the option "Default values for null" in the formula editor.
Regards,

There's no phonetic first or last name option in add field in contact's.
Hi, trying to get siri to pronounce a name right so I saw you could just spell it phonetically and it will pronounce it that way, and when I pressed on a contact, and went to add field, there was no option to do it? help!
this looks sort of normal except both first and last name fields are empty and only FN (full name is present). It should look something like this:
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:Smith;John;;;
FN:All American Grill
ORG:All American Grill;
TEL;type=WORK;type=pref:(918) 207-0467
item1.ADR;type=HOME;type=pref:;;13112 Highway 62;TAHLEQUAH;OK;74464;
item1.X-ABLabel:bill to
item1.X-ABADR:us
X-ABShowAs:COMPANY
CATEGORIES:Customers:Integrity Service's of Oklahoma
X-ABUID:40A7F0F6-EBB7-40F5-A990-B54B98771F50\:ABPerson
END:VCARD
If you save this vcard in TextEdit and drag it back to the address book it will import and look normal. However, this is, of course not a real solution if you have lots of entries like that. you might try tinkering with the original text file from which you imported the cards and add more fields there. -
How to split 'Firstname Lastname' into 2 columns 'First' and 'Last'?
I import a .csv file from PayPal that throws the customer's First name, MI and Last Name all in one column. I have no problem going through and deleting the middle initial to make just two words separated with a space.
How can I split the First and Last names that are separated by a space into two separate columns? It's a piece of cake in Excel, but for some stupid reason, I can't use Excel 08 for Mac to do it. Keeps saying that there is data in column #XX without a heading (there is no data there) when I try to import to PayPal Multi-order shipping.
Please help! I'm desperate. Taking me for ever to cut and past each last name into the new column.
Thanks for any help with this!
MarcusHere is a script which does the trick.
--[SCRIPT splitfirst_lastname]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script ou Application : splitfirst_lastname.xxx
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Sélectionner la colonne de chaînes à découper (et éventuellement davantage pour définir la colonne recevant les noms propres).
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir splitfirst_lastname
Le script découpe les chaînes sources au premier espace.
Le prénom remplace la chaîne initiale.
Le reste est déposé dans la cellule adjacente à droite ou dans la cellule de la denière colonne sélectionnée.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau "Général" du dialogue Préférences de l'Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus".
--=====
Save the script as a Script or an Application : splitfirst_lastname.xxx
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Select a column of strings to split (and maybe more columns to define the column receiving lastNames).
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose "splitfirst_lastname"
The script split the source strings on the first embedded space.
The FirstName replace the original string.
The reminder is stored in the cell adjacent on the right (or in the last column of the selected range.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

How can I bulk delete contacts from my iPhone 4S? I've imported them from gmail and hotmail and there are many more than I need. Deleting them one by one will take ages, there must be a quicker way! Also, do contacts take up space on the phone or are they stored remotely?
Thanks.. JYou should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?
I think there are third-party programs which will do that, but you can also do it with Automator:
See the links in my post, here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22390873#22390873
The file or clipboard contents will be in Tab Separated vars, so you'll have to open with a spreadsheet program and save as Comma Separated Vars format. -

You're not signed into iCloud then.
Go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign in, switch on any services you want to use. Your contacts will show up in Contacts and your appointments will be in Calendar. Enter new contacts/events etc in the respective app.
Backup any content currently in Contacts and Calendars.
