How do I get name in Mail to be the same as Address book?

Just wondering if there was a way for the name that shows up when I get an e-mail to be the same as the name I have on that person's contact card in Address book?
For example say I have a Contact card for someone named Alexander, but in Address book I just have them listed as Alex. But every time I get an e-mail from them it comes in as Alexander (which I assume happens cause that's how they have filled in their information on their e-mail account) But I just want the e-mail to show up as coming from Alex. Does anyone know if you can do this?
Thanks

That's what I thought.... Although when I log on to Mobile Me through the internet the sender's name there appears just like it does in my address book, so I thought there would be a way to set it in mail.

How do I get IE 11 to open in the same window on the task bar?

How do I get IE 11 to open in the same spot on my task bar. i.e. IE 11 is on my task bar. When I open it, it opens in a new place on the end of the task bar. Microsoft Outlook, Windows Explorer, Quicken, Adobe, etc,, all on the task bar open
right at there location on the task bar; not in a new place at the end of the task bar.
How do I get IE 11, Windows 7, 64 bit to open at the same place as the IE icon???
Thanks

Hi,
Seems a strange issue, How about un-pin IE from the taskbar, then re-pin it to the taskbar for a test?
If doesn't work, I suggest you turn off IE 11 in "Turn Windows Features on or off", reboot PC, then re-turn on, check the result again.

How can I get rid of multiple pictures at the same time?

how can I get rid of multiple pictures at the same time?

Adobe Bridge, lightroom and your file browser (windows explorer or Mac Finder) can select multiple pictures at once and then delete. If you are looking for more than that for information, you will need to be more specific at what your doing, what OS you have, and version of software your using. If necessary post screen shots so we can see what your doing. The more information we have the more detailed of an explaination can can give back to you.

I'd love help with the problem of why I only one track seems to accept clips to play. When I drag them to other tracks or create a track by dragging the clips are grayed out and won't play, but if I drag them to the one track where they're blue they play.

I had to reset my Apple password and now my iTunes and iCloud passwords no longer work. How do I get them linked again and under the same password. I've tried my new password on each login screen and it isn't accepted.

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

I have changed my Apple ID on my iPad, but my iPhone keeps popping up with the old ID.....how do I get all my devices to use the same ID?

How can I get all my devices to use the same Apple ID?

Different services on your iOS device (iMessage, Facetime, iCloud, iTunes and App Store) can be signed into with an Apple ID of your choice. Make sure you verify the settings for each device and that you are signed in to each service with the correct Apple ID.
I'll do an example for iMessage:
1) Go to settings on your iOS device
2) Select "Messages"
3) Select "Send & Receive"
4) At the very top you will see "Apple ID", by selecting your Apple ID, you will now have the option to sign out of messages with the current Apple ID, and sign in with the new one.
The steps for changing your Apple ID for other services will be very similar.
tHIS SHOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TOO YOU.

How do i get my team to all see the same say, ID, document using the cloud?

how do i get my team to all see the same say, ID, document using the cloud?

Adobe Max was a smoke and mirror show and they demonstrated "Folder Sharing" so we bought into it. Myself and 7 of my clients. After the Max show they turned it off like nobody would notice. Two weeks after they stopped the folder sharing feature they put a little notice that they had did this. Nice how they treat their loyal customers. Every month they charged us an extra $20 over a single account without the folder sharing. What good is "team work" if you can't share a folder of files. Sharing a single file at a time is a waste of time.
After a year still no folder sharing but the same old story of "soon". Adobe is using the extra money they are "stealing" from paying clients to pay for this development. We are being forced to pay the extra money again for another year as there is no way to downgrade to a single user account. Adobe likes to use this as an excuse to continue to rob and steal from loyal user that have no choice but to deal with these crooks.
My only suggestion is for new users not to buy the team account package. There marketing material is filled with misleading statements that gives the potential new customer the impression that they can work in teams, as if a team can work sharing single files. This is a sign that Adobe is about the cash grab and not about the quality of software and the end user experience.

How can I get "IMAQ Line Fit" stable (with the same points)

How can I get "IMAQ Line Fit" stable (with the same points)
I my vision applications I use a lot off times "IMAQ Line Fit"
some times the results are not Stable.
See vi and word document attached.
When I take the same points but in a other order (sort)
then suddenly all points are used.
In this case I was looking for a edge in vertical direction (Y).
I found the points but "IMAQ Line Fit" did not function well.
I tried changing all settings like pixel radius and minimum score and
also threshold and so on. But no result.
Then I sorted the points reversed and that worked. See vi.
I use labview Labview 8.6.0 and IMAQ machine vision.
Maybe this problem is solved in a newer version.
Please let me know.
Thanks

Thank You for your reaction Hossein,
This "one application" uses "Line fit" about 20 000 000 times a day.
about 200 will go wrong. With your setting the the "Line fit" for this occasion will work but others will go wrong.
A algorithm should be:
1e Stable, when using the same points and settings the result MUST be the same. How the points are sorted should not matter.
2e Accuracy
3e Speed
4e Testing. Is very difficult but al least close points and the same points and sorting ... should be done
NI now as made a " IMAQ Line Fit" Problem CAR (Corrective Action request) 298016.
so in the future there will be a update.
In the mean while a made a line fit which uses Bisquare option from Linear Fit.vi :
from C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\vi.lib\analysis\6fits.llb
This is a temporary fix because "IMAQ Fit Line VI" is not so stable.
Because outliers should be rejected only Bisquare does this reasonable.
This program does NOT USE "Minimum Score" and "Pixel Radius"
Valid fit = When there are enough points within Outlier_Distance.
Algorithm steps:
- Determine if line is more horizontal then vertical, Compare DeltaX with DeltaY
- If DeltaX <= DeltaY then SWAP X Y and later Swap back
- Sort Points at on X value
- First : Bisquare Linear Fit
- Calculate distances to the found line for all points
- Inliers: Points within Outlier_distance
- Outliers: Points outside Outlier_Distance
- Only use Inlier Points
- Check again if DeltaX < DeltaY then SWAP X Y later SWAP back again
- Second : Bisquare Linear Fit only with the Inlier Points
- Results are from the second fit
Warning : This Program is Not so accurate and Not so fast
See attachments it is in labview 8.6
If some has a improvement please let me know.
Thanks

How do I get multiple files to open in the same alpha-numeric sort order in which they are displayed in Finder?

If I drag a bunch of files to, e.g., Adobe Photoshop they seem to open in strange orders. This makes automating any sort of editing workflow next to impossible. Is there some way to get programs to open files in the same order in which I see them? This is the default behaviour in Windows and it's really helpful when you have hundreds of files (or even just a few) that need to be processed in a certain order. Thanks for any help you might provide.

You're welcome.
What's likely happened is that when you transferred the video to the new machine they lost their dates.
Photos use the Exif metadata to record the date and time of the shot. This is quite different from the date and time of the file, which can change as the file is copied from place to place. Video doesn't have Exif, and so iPhoto uses the file date, and that's changed.
Simply, there's no absoultely reliable way to date video.
Try assign dates with the Batch Change command under the Photos menu.

How do I get my voice mail to great the caller by name?

I called a friend and his voicemail spoke to me by name and said that he was unavailable to leave a message... how do I get my iphone to do that?

Depends on your carrier. With AT&T you open your voicemail, tap Greeting at the top, select Custom, then record your greeting. Don't know how it works with other carriers but you could call yours to find out.

How do I get pop-ups to open in the same screen Firefox is on?

I have 3 monitors at work for the 10-15 programs/windows I need open all day. The problem is that my normal work requires a pop-up from our company's ticketing system, hosted on a website. That pop-up always occurs on the upper left-hand corner of the main display while Firefox is open on the second display. ***I'd like it to open in front of the current Firefox window*** instead of on a completely different display. How can I achieve this?
Before you say "Move Firefox to the main display", I'd like to add that I'm using Citrix for multiple other programs and it has the same annoying habit. I can't have them both on the same display since I need to see them both at once. I'm also trying to find a solution for Citrix doing this. Whichever app gets fixed first gets a home on the second display.

Similar question posted Monday (unsolved): [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/966422 How to open new windows on second monitor].
That user's company policy preventing using new software to solve the problem. Do you have any restrictions on possible add-ons or utilities?

How do i get a still image to fade the same way and at the same time as a video?

I have a video stacked on top of a still image. When i add a transition, the still turns to a black screen while the video fades in accordance to the transition. How do i get the still image to fade the same way and at the same time as the video?

I do. I've applied it to both the still image and the video. Say i used the lens flare transition. If i apply it to both the video and the still image, the video will dissolve in to the next frame, but the still image will go to a black screen and then jump to the next frame. Its almost as if i inserted a black frame instead of a transition, but only for 2 seconds. Below is kind of a peek what it looks like.
