How do I get email addresses to show up as John Doe rather than Doe John?

When I start to enter a new address in the To: field I begin by typing the first name. This usually brings up suggestions from my address book in the First Name/ Last Name format. When I click on the name I want it appears in the Last Name/First Name format in the address filed. I would like for it to remain in or appear in the First Name/Last Name format. How do I accomplish this. I have an old Mac Air runnint OS Lion.  Thanks.

it appears in the same order as in your contact book. Change your contacts to firstname/lastname and they will appear in the To: field also in this order.

  • How do I get device names to show on my airport express rather than the device ID?

    When I look at devices that are running on my AirPort Extreme and airport express (running as a range extender) I only see their ID numbers. How do I get it so that I can see the device name?  In other words instead of it showing 00:11:D9:38:3C:DA it would show Nest Thermostat.  ive seen this on other peoples networks and cant seem to figure it out on mine 

    Things are hit and miss as far as client names being displayed in AirPort Utility. You might see a device name displayed at times and not at other times.
    Unfortunately, Apple provides no settings or controls in AirPort Utility for this.   Things will not look like the nice Apple advertisements if that is what you might be hoping for.
    You might want to let Apple know that you would like more control for this "feature".  If so, please use the link provided below.

    The handle to the Step.Button1Label gets you the data, but there are several ways to get it into the actual report.
    The easiest is to use the reporttext.
    In a post expression, you can use something like
    Step.Result.ReportText = Evaluate("Step.Button" + Str(Step.Result.ButtonHit) +"Label")
    and then the default report generation will include it in the report. Otherwise, you need to get the text into the Resultlist by various means (check the user manual, or the TestStand II customisation course) and handle the report generation yourself inside of the appropriate sequence in the process model.

  • PC related question.  How do I get iTunes to sync/backup/store to my D: rather than C: ?

    How do I get iTunes to sync/backup/store to my D: rather than C: ?

    A couple of options.  Do you want your whole library on the other drive or just media?  You can split media between drives starting with now, but this will be a big nuisance when you come to move your library in the future.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • After installing Mavericks my iMac opens with the "rolling surf" desktop. I can then start my preferred desktop from a saved 'photo but when I retsart the iMAc it reverts to "rolling surf". How can I get it to remeber to open with MY choice rather than Ap

    After installing Mavericks my iMac opens with the "rolling surf" desktop. I can then start my preferred desktop from a saved 'photo but when I retsart the iMac it reverts to "rolling surf". How can I get it to remember to open with MY choice rather than Apple's?

    I did a little research on this, as I found some strange things with the .plist files.
    It appears that Apple has changed the way that the plist files are handled, and there is now an extra step in the trashing-the-.plist-file fix:
    1. hold down the option key
    2. in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Libary
    3. in Library, find Preferences
    4. in Preferences, find  com.apple.desktop.plist  and drag it to the trash.
    5. go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
         1. Sort by Process Name and look for two processes named cfprefsd.
         2. Make sure you select the one that has your user account, not "root", listed as the User.
         3. Click the X up at the top left to kill that process
    5. restart
    6. this will generate a new .plist file, so you will have to reenter your preferences.
    Sorry for the confusion. Could you try this and let us know-

  • How do I get email address for printer?

    I have never been succesfull in obtaining an email address for my eprint.  Any suggestions. 

    Hi mmramire2,
    If you have an ePrint capable printer, when you enable Web Services on the printer it will generate a printer code for you. This printer code will be valid for 24 hours and must be registered at the ePrint Center within this time. If you do not register the printer code, it will expire, and you will need to disable and then re-enable Web Services on the printer to generate a new code. 
    I was an HP employee.
    Reminder: Please select the "Accept as Solution" button on the post that best answers your question. Also, you may select the "Kudos" button on any helpful post to give that person a quick thanks.

  • I have reset this firefox daily... it works for a few hours, then will not open a website for 15 mins, and I cannot get emails addresses to show up when sending

    This new updated firefox is awful.. I cannot get websites to open for about 10-15 mins it keeps showing S1 Yimg.com ans s.ytimg, and says shockwave plug in is bad, and all other kinds of crap..
    The connection was reset.. I got this msg below and had to reopen this page in another window, and reload it to be able to write on this now... and my network connection is working xlnt, and there is no firewall blocking firefox...
    The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    Try Again
    I never had this until I got all these new automatic updates with this new firefox.. I did a system restore, which helped for 1 day, and I have had to reset firefox daily to use it.. And now it took 10 mins to open this page, and then I had to reload this page twice to write this..
    I've used firefox for years, and never never had any problems with it. And I see alot of similiar complaints like mine on this forum now..
    What suggestions do you have for me NOW... much appreciated, Cyrus

    I uninstalled all the old flash players and installed the flash player v16.0.0.235 from the Adobe website posted.
    And Firefox is still the same. It takes forever to web search, It takes a long time to get on Youtube, and a longer time now to open a video..
    It's actual worse since I upgraded to the newer flash player.
    I'll do one more fifefox reset (this is the 8th one in a week)
    and it works for a few hrs, and goes back to the slowww way of working...
    Many of my friends I talked to about this, told me to switch over to Chrome like they had to do..
    I guess that's the only alternative now..
    Thankyou all for your help and suggestions anyway.. :)

  • How can i send emailed PDF's directly to my iPad iBooks rather than have them sitting in my inbox unorganized...

    I had hoped that my PDF's in my iPhone iBooks would automatically also go to my iPad iBooks without the need for syncing. Is there some setting to make that happen?
    If that is not an option, how can I send my emailed PDF's directly to my iPad iBooks; I no longer want them sitting in my email folder since there is no way to organize the content of the email folders and I am looking for a way to organize this information that I need to be able to quickly retrieve.

    Thank you for your rapid reply! Yes, I was able to move them from my email to iBooks on my iPhone in this way, but the same method did not work for the iPad . I was really hoping for some super simple solution... thanks for your comment though

  • How do I get safari to open pop-ups in new tabs rather than in new windows?

    Just recently I took my 13" MacBook Pro (Late 2010 Model) to my local Apple Store. When I brought it there they fixed my problem, but in the mean time they had to completely delete and uninstall Safari and Google Chrome off of my laptop. Before the apple store, my Safari would always open pop-ups and links in a new tab, now they open up in a new window. Does anyone know how to change it so they open in new tabs? The reason I need this changed is I might have unecessary websites open, and they would just be taking up space.
    Thanks for your help,

  • How do I get App Tabs to open on the bookmarked location rather than the last visited one?

    For example, I have YouTube as an App Tab. Every time I open firefox the last think I was watching on YouTube starts playing again. I would really like to set it so the App Tabs open on whatever page I originally set them for.

    Just make sure that you open any new links in a new tab and not in the App tab.<br />
    There are tab related extensions that can protect or lock tabs to prevent them from getting changed, but opening a link in a new tab with a middle-click or Ctrl + left-click isn't that much extra effort.

  • How can I get two cameras to aquire at the same time rather than one after the other

    I've got (2) PCI-1428 cards, Two Uniq Vision cameras with power supplies, cameralink cables, and IMAQ-D6804 cables. Both cameras are being triggered by the same switch, but they are not grabbing images at the same time. Right now it is triggering one camera as desired, but the other doesn't aquire until after the time-sensitive event. On the next test, the two camera will trade these roles. I am using 2 cards, so they should acquire at the same time. How do I change it so that they grab images at the same time? Thank you for your help.
                                                      ​            Deater

    Hi Deater,
    Thank  you for your post.  Triggering from two cameras at the same time may be a little trickey, but it can be done.  There are multiple ways to tackle this problem.  If you have a RTSI cable, you can RTSI the two PCI boards together internally to lock them in HW.  You should also be able to use the triggering line on each board.
    One of the best methods for triggering multiple boards is called GenLocking.  The following Developer Zone page describes GenLocking more fully and has several examples to help you out: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/a3​87b5c0ac6f6f4e86256c87005fcddf.
    The "HL Grab with two boards.vi" shipping example is also a good example of the code needed to trigger two individual boards in LV.  I found a similar post that may be of some help as well: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=230​&message.id=2691&requireLogin=False
    Hope this helps!

  • How do you get bookmarks selected to appear in the full screen rather than the small window to the left

    When I click on a bookmarked site, some of them show up on the large screen to the right, but mostonly show up in the much smaller window to the left and are therefor useless. this is even when I've opened a new tab. I never had this problem before, but recently received a new computer and this is the result after downloading firefox in this computer.

    hello davinci2, please right-click any bookmark where this is happening, go to ''properties'' and make sure that they are not set up to open in the sidebar.

  • How can I get my pictures in Picasa to open in Firefox rather than IE?

    I want to view my pictures in a separate tab through Firefox to copy them to my blog. As of now I can only open them in Picasa Photo Viewer, Windows Media center, and Microsoft Office.

    Of course, Firefox is my default browser.
    Actually, the pictures don't open in IE, either. I just tried. The choices are Picasa Photo Viewer, Windows Media Center, and Microsoft Office. On my old computer, Firefox and IE were included in the 'Open in' list.

  • How to single out email addresses in a text

    Gurus,
    How can I get email addresses in a single text?
    for example if given
    '"has, Fez" <[email protected]>,"Heidinger, Matk" <[email protected]>,'
    how can I get just
    [email protected]???
    [email protected]
    ???                                 it comes in a single line but I need to have it in a column so
    the column shows a list of unique email addresses
    ebro

    Assuming consistent format you can use this
    declare @emailist varchar(1000)='has, Fez" <[email protected]>,"Heidinger, Matk" <[email protected]>,'
    select STUFF(Val,1,CHARINDEX('<',Val+'<'),'')
    FROM dbo.ParseValues(@emailist,'>,')
    WHERE LTRIM(STUFF(Val,1,CHARINDEX('<',Val+'<'),''))> ''
    See udf here
