How do I get an imported an LDIF address book file to display properly?

x87, Win 7 64 bit pro. I backed up my address book by exporting an LDIF file to an external drive. My PC died and I bought a new one. I loaded Thunderbird 24.6.0 and imported the LDIF file. The addresses came in but they are not displayed in the address book properly. An address book folder named "TB Address Book 8-25-14" was created. When I select that folder the display to the right side of the window only shows a torso outline at the far left. The Name, Email, Chat Name, Organization, & work Phone fields are blank. If I select one of the entries and look at the properties, all of the data is there. If I move a contact to the Personal Address Book it still does not display correctly. However, there are two contact lists under the TB Address Boook 8-25-14 and if I select those sub-folders the data for each contact is displayed to the right. How do I get it to display properly so I can see what I'm doing? A friend of mine had a very similar problem importing into Thunderbird using Windows 8.

The problem fixed itself when I uninstalled ZumoDrive free cloud storage and also Growl the notifier application. Had to employ AppZapper to uninstall all related files.... but all worked a treat. All is back to normal.

Importing an ldif address book?

Hello All,
I am trying to see if 10.6 allows for importing .ldif address books. As far as I can tell this function has been removed.
In 10.5 I was able to do this using the import function which gave a person the choice of ldif, vcard, text file, or address book archive.
Does the option to import an ldif file live somewhere else? or is it totally removed?

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately its a lot of work addresses so it would be hard for me to single out which ones actually needed to be converted. At least if they had the 10.5 way of doing it I could just use the file and it would decide which were duplicates and I could decide to not import them.
Hmm if not a way to do that possible a step backwards for snow leopard. I hope that isn't the case.
Thanks for your help though V.K.

How do I get the groups in my address book to my contact lists in Mail

The groups in my address book are displayed in my contacts list in Mail

Hi. I honestly am not sure how I transferred it (I am dealing with several issues in getting the new iMac set up right now) . . . I think I exported from one and imported to the other. Maybe that is why the notes did not come over even though the contacts did. But I tried your method and it seemed to work so thatnk you very much!

How do I restore the toolbar to my address book file?

I was cleaning out old addresses and setting up a collected address folder within address book. I clicked on something and now I have no toolbar. How to I get it back?

The universal keystroke for revealing hidden toolbars is the '''alt key''' or '''F10'''.
Press one of these to make the Menu Bar appear. Select '''View-Toolbars''' and turn on the missing toolbars.
You have to do this in the window where the toolbar is missing since all windows have different toolbars.

Do you have scroll bars enabled in the System Preferences > General tab (MacOS X 10.7 or later)?
Try, if setting this to "Show scroll bars > Always" will bring your scrollbar back.

Maybe try one of the WiFi transfer Apps? There are several to choose from. I use Photosynch quite often to send photos and videos between my computer(s), my iPhone, and iPad.

You can't edit a video out of iTunes.
You would have to edit the video from the original film, either on your computer, or iPhone.

How to update link and import data of relocated incx file into inca file?

Subject : how to update link and import data of relocated incx file into inca file.? The incx file was originally part of the inca file and it has been relocated. ------------------- Hello All, I am working on InDesignCS2 and InCopyCS2. From indesign I am creating an assignment file as well as incopy files.(.inca and .incx file created through exporing). Now indesign hardcodes the path of the incx files in inca file.So if I put the incx files in different folder then after opening the inca file in InCopy , I am getting the alert stating that " The document doesn't consists of any incopy story" and all the linked story will flag a red question mark icon. So I tried to recreate and update the links. Below is my code for that //code start***************************** //creating kDataLinkHelperBoss InterfacePtr<IDataLinkHelper> dataLinkHelper(static_cast<IDataLinkHelper*> (CreateObject2<IDataLinkHelper>(kDataLinkHelperBoss))); /** The newFileToBeLinkedPath is the path of the incx file which is relocated. And it was previously part of the inca file. eg. earlier it was c:\\test.incx now it is d:\\test.incx */ IDFile newIDFileToBeLinked(newFileToBeLinkedPath); //create the datelink IDataLink * dlk = dataLinkHelper->CreateDataLink(newIDFileToBeLinked); NameInfo name; PMString type; uint32 fileType; dlk->GetNameInfo(&name,&type,&fileType); //relink the story InterfacePtr<ICommand> relinkCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kRestoreLinkCmdBoss)); InterfacePtr<IRestoreLinkCmdData> relinkCmdData(relinkCmd, IID_IRESTORELINKCMDDATA); relinkCmdData->Set(database, dataLinkUID, &name, &type, fileType, IDataLink::kLinkNormal); ErrorCode err = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(relinkCmd); //Update the link now InterfacePtr<IUpdateLink> updateLink(dataLinkHelper, UseDefaultIID()); UID newLinkUID; err = updateLink->DoUpdateLink(dl, &newLinkUID, kFullUI); //code end********************* I am able to create the proper link.But the data which is there in the incx file is not getting imported in the linked story.But if I modify the newlinked story from the inca file,the incx file will be getting update.(all its previous content will be deleted.) I tried using Utils<IInCopyWorkflow>()->ImportStory() ,But its import the incx file in xml format. What is the solution of this then? Kindly help me as I am terribly stuck since last few days. Thanks and Regards, Yopangjo

Ho do I convert my Elements 5 Catalog to Elements 13 which I just purchased. I followed one of the tutorials and converted my Elements 5 Catalog to a "pse.13db" file. How do I get Elements 13 to recognize that converted file? When I open Elements 13 Catalog Manager and browse to the correct location, it doesn't show the file. Help! Thanks

Yes - I can run both versions on my PC. But I really would like to have all of my pictures in the same catalog.
You can't merge catalogs (even PSE13 ones) in any PSE version (only LR can do that). So, converting catalogs is not the solution to your problem.
Since you have PSE5 working on your computer and your images also, the solution is to 'write metadata to files in PSE5) and to re-import the images in the PSE13 catalog. That won't duplicate your image files and you'll lose albums/collections, stacks and version sets, but you'll recover tags, captions and ratings.
To be able to re-import the files indexed in PSE5, you may have to move them to a new master folder.
I am not sure what your problem with the conversion may be. It's quite possible that the resulting catalog.pse13db is ok and that the issue lies in the ability to open it in the PSE13 organizer.
As stated by dj_page, double clicking on that file should open the organizer with the new catalog. You could test that by creating a dummy catalog in PSE13 and importing a small batch of photos. Locate the path of the catalog with the menu Help/system info. Copy the catalog.pse13db in another folder and the 'double click' way to open the organizer with that moved catalog database.
For other users that may be interested in using PSE5 (issued in 2006) on newer OS, here is a useful link:

How to batch or individual import Canvas .CVX and .CNV files into AI CS6(mac)?

Is anyone aware how to batch or individually import Canvas .CVX and .CNV files into AI CS6(mac)? I have a large old graphics library representing 10 years of work which would be very nice to convert into Illustrator CS6...
Thanks a lot for any hint -
stefan

It's not a matter of exporting a file that Windows will recognize; it's a matter of exporting a file format that Illustrator can import or open.
A Mac OS version of Canvas is under development, by the way.

My bad. Typo on my part. I meant one that Adobe will recognize.
Too early yet. I shouldn't try to type before I get my first morning tea.

Thank you

Do you have any backups? I'm guessing not, from what you've said, in which case you may be about to learn the hard way why backups are important.
First, when your computer boots into recovery mode, try using Disk Utility to repair the hard drive. If there are no problems to repair, the cause is elsewhere. If the problems are fixed, try rebooting and see if the system is working again. If the problems cannot be fixed, you could try a program like DiskWarrior, which can fix things Disk Utility cannot.
If repairs work, or were not necessary, but the system still won't start up, try reinstalling the system. It will just install over your existing system files, leaving everything else intact. (In theory, anyway... if there's something badly wrong, you can never count on that, but without backups you have few choices.)
If the disk absolutely cannot be repaired by anything, you can try recovering important files to another hard drive using something like Data Rescue, File Salvage or Stellar Phoenix.
Regardless of what happens, you need to start backing up ASAP. See my Mac Backup Guide for more information.

How can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?

how can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?
ok,consider my property file name is pro.PROPERTIES
and it contain
8326=sun developer
4306=sun java developer
3943=java developer
how can i get the all keys & values from the pro.PROPERTIES to hashtable
plz help guys..............

The Properties class is already a subclass of Hashtable. So if you have a Properties object, you already have a Hashtable. So all you need to do is the first part of that:Properties props = new Properties();
InputStream is = new FileInputStream("tivoli.properties");
props.load(is);

Macbook Air memory is soldered to the logicboard.
You can only get 4GB or 8GB (2012 Models) in the Air when you order it that way. Otherwise, you're stuck with 2GB.
Unless you're talking about hard drive space - then it is upgradeable - click HERE to see which one corresponds to your model.

I have signed into a new account on my itunes on my computer. How do I get the music from the new account to be displayed in my library, because I can only see the old accounts music.

I have signed into a new account on my itunes on my windows computer. How do I get the music from the new account to be displayed in my library if only the old account's music is showing up?

You can transfer the music purchased from iTunes Store to the computer but not music acquired somewhere else.
Syncing is one way street, computer to iPhone. You have to use 3rd party tool to transfer music not from iTunes Store to the computer.
