How do I stop iSync from removing pauses in my phone numbers?

I have a Motorola KRZR K1. When I use iSync, it removes pause characters from the phone numbers. For example:
I have a number in the phone like this 1-212-555-1212p1234. iSync brings that to the Mac as 1-212-555-1212,1234 . That is probably fine, but on re-sync, the numbers get sent back to the phone with no 'p' or commas. If I add a 'p' or a comma in my Mac address book and resync, it still strips them out owhen sending to the phone. On the phone I end up with 1-212-555-12121234 . This of course does not work correctly if I try to call the number. I have many numbers like this.
I can fix them in the phone of course, by adding the 'p' back in - but of course on the next sync they get removed again.
I have searched the Apple site, and found that having a lower-case 'p' should work fine.
Anyone else?

First, make sure that iSync isn't running.
Then, choose "Go > Go to Folder..." in the Finder and copy and paste the following into the dialog box that appears:
/Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/P lugIns/Motorola-K1.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/
A window will open. Now, open the "PhoneConduit.plist" file in that window into TextEdit.
Do a search for "charsToKeep"
In the line below the one it finds it should read:
<string>0123456789+#*</string>
change it to:
<string>0123456789+#*p,</string>
(adding in the p and , characters) and save the file.
Quit and the reload iSync and sync. It will no longer strip the p and comma characters.
Apple obviously doesn't know that those characters can be accepted by the phone.

  • How do I stop iSync from syncing address cards with no telephone mnumber ?

    I sync my Nokia to my Mac using iSync 2.3. I used a smart group made from email domain names to sync with my phone. IN this group are a number of address cards with no telephone numbers. How can I either delete them automatically, or disallow them from being synced to my phone ?

    First, make sure that iSync isn't running.
    Then, choose "Go > Go to Folder..." in the Finder and copy and paste the following into the dialog box that appears:

  • How do I stop Mail from removing messages from my Gmail server?

    I have checked several of the posts in here already and do not seem to be able to find an answer to my question. In the version of Mail on Tiger, on the Account preferences pane and the advanced tab, there is an option check box to Remove Message after retrieving from server (or something like that) In the version of mail in Snow Leopard, that option is no longer on the Advanced tab and I can't find it anywhere. I deleted my Gmail account and re-added it to see if I missed it somewhere in the process.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Thanks for your reply! That answers my question, but creates another. How do you setup a POP3 account? If I click on the add account button and put in my Gmail credentials, it automatically sets up as IMAP. I am not even given the option to setup as POP3.
    Thanks!

  • How do you stop Safari from removing last download when it's of the same file type? (e.g., when I download a new pps file I can no longer open a pps file that I've just downloaded)

    When I download a .pps file, I can open it from the downloads and everything is great. But if I try to download another one, then I can no longer access the previous download from the download bar. This is very annoying to me as I download and open dozens of these files every day. Is there some way that I can display all the files in the download bar and not just the last file downloaded of a certain type (a way to get Safari to stop hiding the .pps files)

    To prevent Firefox from displaying form autocomplete suggestions, you can turn off that feature using the about:config page.
    In the address bar, type or paste '''about:config''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
    I suggest bookmarking this for easier future access.
    In the search box, type or paste '''formf''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
    Scroll down to '''browser.formfill.enable''' and tap the Toggle button to switch it from true to false.
    That's it. Does it work on Facebook?
    ''The about:config preferences editor in the mobile version is similar in principle to the desktop version but many of the preferences available on the desktop version have no effect in mobile. This one I only tested on one site, but it seems to work.''

  • How do I stop iSync from attempting to sync to a phone that no longer exists?

    I recently graduated to an iPhone 4S.  I use iTunes excusively for syncing to that phone.
    My previous phone was a Sony Ericsson k850 (very similar to W850) and I was able to use iSync somewhat successfully.
    Now, whenever I do a sync through iTunes for the 4S, iSync starts up and says it can't locate the k850.
    If I go to the option and Uncheck "Enable Syncing on this computer" under iSync/Preferences/General, iTunes get all upset that synchronization has been turned off. I do not have the option to Remove the one andonly device - that choice is grayed out.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    I don't know if this helps much, but Address Book was basically the same application in a previous version of the Mac OS. Folks still seem to use the terms interchangably though. Similarly, Calendar used to be "iCal."
    I believe syncing contacts with Google or iCloud is an either/or proposition - you can't do both. When you sync with either, a copy is saved to your Mac for faster access (like a web browser's cache). I believe there's still an option to save contacts exclusively to your Mac (HD), but I don't think it's either preferred or occurs by default if you have an account such as Gmail/google or iCloud already set up.
    I've never played with preferences in Contacts (Address Book), but I do have both google and iCloud accounts associated with my Mac. Under System Preferences:Mail, Contacts & Calendars, you can specify what accounts do on your Mac. If you have multiple accounts set up, a list will appear on the left side. As you select each one, a list of check boxes appear to the right for each service you want to associate with that account. For example, I have an iCloud account for mail, calendars, contacts, and Safari (among others). I have a Gmail account for mail, although it gives me the option of using this account for calendars, etc. For Gmail, the only item I have checked is mail. It's never asked me if I wanted to sync my addresses with Google.
    I hope this helps... at least a little. If nothing else, I hope I've solved the "Address Book" mystery ;-)

  • How do I stop Firefox from removing Internet Explorer settings (passwords, Google preferences etc) every time I use FF and go back to IE?

    I have FF 3.6 and IE6 on the same XP machine. I have no choice
    re IE6. FF is only there to allow me to access non-IE6
    compatible sites. Most sites I use are on an intranet and
    must use IE6.
    Typically, if I have to use FF for something, after doing so
    my IE6 settings (mainly cookies) for things such as usernames,
    passwords, Google preferences etc are lost. This is reproducible
    behavior.

    Well, it's doing something - by design or otherwise. The only time the settings for websites I access via IE disappear is after using FireFox.

  • How can I stop iPhone from prompting me for a phone password?

    I used to use a password to protect my iPhone but I turned it off because it really slowed me down.
    Under General I set Passcode Lock to OFF. I set the Auto-Lock to NEVER.
    But every time I touch the phone icon I get this message: PASSWORD INCORRECT Enter voicemail Password. I can't make calls or do anything unless I type CANCEL. But now I can't use my visual voicemail any more. Because of this I have been missing a lot of calls.
    I have the new iPhone and I upgraded to the new version of the iPhone software yesterday. I was hoping this problem might go away, but it hasn't.
    What do you suggest I do?

    Its actually asking for the password you set up when you created your voicemail on the iPhone. If you enter that voicemail password correctly, that prompt should go away and you should be able to access your voicemail as well. If you don't remember that password, dial 611 from your iPhone and choose option 3 ( I think ) and it will let you reset the password.

  • How do I stop texts from going to 2 separate iPhone numbers? (Not Group Texting)

    I have a friend and her husband who both have iPhones. Whenever I text her, the text also pops up on his phone. They were sharing an Apple ID, which I suspected might be the problem, so I helped her create her own Apple ID, but it's still happening. This is not a Group MMS. It's an individual text. If I send it to her, they both get it. If I send it to him, usually only he gets it.
    This has been going on for months. Both are now using the latest Apple software update, but the issue still remains.
    They tried to contact Apple, but were told that without an service agreement, too bad.
    Can you think of any way to fix this issue?

    Hello,
    i think from what i can gather the issue here is that the iCloud on your child's ipod and on your iPhone are using the same apple id and that is why there is some confusion with the messages.
    the best think to do would be to assign that iPod to another Apple id for use with iCloud but if you do not have access to that iPod you could use a different apple id yourself now or if that isn't an option you could just change the password instead and as long as the iPod touch owner doesn't know it only you will get the messages and a password prompt is displayed in the other devices and they will be unable to gain access to your data until the new password is inserted.
    kind regards,
    Joshua

  • How stop PS6 from removing the DPI value from an image when using "save for the web"?

    How stop PS6 from removing the DPI-value from an image when using "save for the web"?
    Example:
    - Open a tif image, that contains a dpi value (resolution).
    - Use the splice tool in PS6.
    - Export the slices with "Save for web", as gif-files.
    Then the dpi value is removed, the gif files has no dpi value (it's empty).
    How can we stop PS6 from removing the dpi value when using "save for web"?
    OR:
    When using the slice tool, how can we save the sliced pieces without PS removing the dpi value?

    you can make your art go a little bit over the bounds. or you can make sure your artboart and art edges align to pixels

    How do I stop my MacBook removing all my icons from the desktop ?

    Hi Matt
    After I create say a word document, file it on my desktop and then shut down my machine. The next time I open up the MacBook the file icon has been removed from the desktop. I can still retrieve the file in a folder labeled with the month I created it. But why has the OS removed it from the desktop and how can I stop it happening?
    It happens to alias icons as well!

  • In iPhoto how do I stop files from auto resizing as they import? I don't want my files reduced to 72. The option to choose size on the export menu not suitable for up sizing, as you can't restore the quality removed?

    in iPhoto how do I stop files from auto resizing as they import? I don't want my files reduced to 72. The option to choose size on the export menu not suitable for up sizing, as you can't restore the quality removed.

    Short answer: They are not resizing, there is no quality lost. The dpi is only set when you decide what size you're printing at
    Longer answer:  Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
    Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
    So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

  • How do I stop itunes from corrupting it's library on almost a daily basis?

    How do I stop itunes from corrupting it's library on almost a daily basis?  It's actually becoming infurating to use, and what's happening is I am losing my downloads since the last automated itunes backup (having to rename & replace the current corrupted library with the last backup which is usually a day or two old).  What can cause this?  Is there ANY alternative to using itunes for Apps (which is the sole use I have for it)?   If not, APPLE PLEASE REMOVE THE NEED FOR THE DATABASE SO IT DOESN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO CORRUPT ITSELF...  :'(

    Things you see in iTunes are stored in various sub folders in your main iTunes folder as in:
    Image of folder structure and explanation of different iTunes versions (turingtest2 post) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/13025536 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/17457605
    Start iTunes and immediately hold down the option key.  Create a new library somewhere.  Go to your old iTunes folder and drag items to the window for the new library.  Maybe only grab a folder or part of one at a time.  It will copy these items to the new library (so you need lots of extra room on your computer).

  • How do I stop texts from being seen on multiple devices on the same iTunes account

    I just updated my iphone 4s to ios 6 and now my texts are being viewed on another iphone connected to the same itunes account. How do I stop this from happening??

    Go into Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive on the devices that your would not like to get your text messages to.
    Then remove the email addresses that you would not like to be reached on, especially the one that is the same as your Apple ID.
    Just leave the phone number there, and then the text messages should only appear on your iPhone 4s.
