How do I use field names other than the default ones in Contacts?

The iPhone doesn't like certain types of phone field names!
When you create a new contact with the Mac Address Book, you can choose mobile, iPhone, home, work, main, home fax, work fax, pager, and other. If, for example, your source data has a contact with a "main" phone number, that number doesn't sync at all.
The data ONLY moves from my Mac to my iPhone IF I use the default field names.
Why does Apple let us have a Custom name if this data will not sync?

Because they DO sync. You have some other problem.

  • TS3297 iTunes puts up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one. How I can clear that messag

    I've been running iTunes on WinXP for years with few problems.  I have all my iTunes files on an external USB drive. I just bought a new PC running Win7, 64-bit.
    I connected the external USB drive to the new PC and installed 64-bit iTunes on it. When iTunes started up, I pointed it at the iTunes directory in the external drive, using Edit > Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Media Folder Location. It showed a progress bar that it was updating the iTunes Library. I signed in and authorized the new machine. I have one spare authorization.
    Then iTunes put up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one.
    When I click OK, the iTunes Store page remains blank, apart from saying "iTunes Store" in the middle of the page.
    I went to "View My Account" and pressed the Reset button to "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading items", but that doesn’t fix this particular warning. I also tried Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset Warnings and Rest Cache.
    But still, every time I click the “App Store” button in the iTunes Store window, the message appears. If I click the Books, Podcasts or iTunesU buttons, these display normally.  So I’m stuck with being unable to purchase apps, other than through my iPad and iPhone.
    If I move the external drive back to the XP machine, the same thing happens.  If I go to another PC - a notebook running Vista - everything is normal.
    Any idea how I can clear that message?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Further info on my question above.
    I have tried re-validating my credit card, which apparently fixed it for some. 
    I have also tried uninstalling, re-downloading and installing again.
    Neither of these steps fixed the problem.

  • Create a Contact on an address book other than the default one

    Hello everyone,
    I am using a professional address book and calendar on exchange provided by my company. I am also using my iCloud account to manage my personal address book and calendar. I have set up my iphone 4S to display both address book and calendar, this works well, same for the sync mechanism.
    When I create an event on my iPhone using the standard calendar app, I can simply indicate whether it is a personal or professional event.
    When I create a contact using the standard contact app, there is no way to indicate wheter it's personnal or professional. The contact is created on the default address book that I setup in the settings. The only way I found is to hide all categories except the personal one and then create the contact. It is then created not on the default address book but on the only one displayed. It is rather awkward and that does not solve all problems : I have some contacts already created by mistake on my professional address book that I want to move to the personnal one. I found absolutely no way of doing that. The same thing for calendar events is straightforward: open the event for modification, simple toogle the appropriate field from Pro to Personal and you're done.
    Does anyone have a hint for this ?
    Thanks,
    Cyril

  • Possible to use an icon other than the default when building a distribution executable for a third party customer ?

    I build stand-alone exe's for customers, and would like to know if in the "Build Distribution Kit" dialog there is an option for using a non-standard icon? If not, what else will work...? Thanks.

    1. Using windows "START" button,
    START->Programs->National Instruments CVI
    ->Utility Programs->Icon Editor.
    2. Double click the icon editor.
    Create your ICON.
    3. Save your icon by,"FILE" "SAVE AS"
    xxxxxx.ico. I suggest you save the
    icon in your program folder.
    4. Now build a stand alone executable.
    CVI will ask for "name" and "path"
    of the icon.
    5. By dragging the .exe to your desktop
    your icon will follow.
    6. When you create a distribution kit the
    icon will be placed into the kit.
    7. After the customer installs the kit
    the icon will show up in a small window
    they can drag the icon to the disk top
    or drag the .exe to the disk top at a
    later time.

  • Problem in starting rmid in a port different than the default one

    hi all,
    i am experiencing exceptions in running rmid in a port different than a default one.
    if i run
    rmiregistry 2000
    rmid -J-Djava.security.policy=policy
    java -Djava.security.policy=policy -Djava.rmi.server.codebase=<mypath> -classpath <myclasspath> com.myclass.ActivatableRMI <host:port>
    everything works fine
    but if i try to specify a port in which rmid should be started, then i have exceptions...
    can anyone tell me how to solve my problem? i am running NT 4.0
    thanx and regards
         marco

    If you start rmid at port other than the default one
    (1098) with -port option, it is necessary to set the
    system property "java.rmi.activation.port" to this
    port.
    Rmid internally starts a local registry service
    (LocateRegistry.createRegistry(port)) and binds the
    RMI activation system server object with this registry
    service like Naming.rebind("//:" + port +
    "/java.rmi.activation.ActivationSystem",
    activationSystem);. Activation system provides a means
    for registering groups and "activatable" objects to be
    activated within those groups. When a activatable
    server object is exported, it is registered with this
    activation system, so it should get the stub to the
    activation system which is started as part of rmid.
    ActivationGroup class provides a static function
    getSystem() to get the reference to the activation
    system stub. Now it makes use of the system property
    "java.rmi.activation.port" value to contact the
    registry service where activation system registered
    itself under the name "//:" + value of
    java.rmi.activation.port +
    "/java.rmi.activation.ActivationSystem". If this
    property is not set, it uses the default port 1098.
    -- Srinath MandalapuThis is an awesome and lovely forum answer (and I saw srinath_babu reply to another similarly in my search), but I would like to ask for just a bit of clarification.
    My question is simply making sure I understand the reply above in my own terms...
    Suppose that right now my program involving activatables is already working with default port 1098, but that I wanted or needed to change to another port for rmid. Then is this statement true?
    - IF the commandline which which I start rmid specifies port xyxyx,
    - AND IF I added -Djava.rmi.activation.port=xyxyx to the commandline with which I run the setup for my Activatable (i.e. the program that calls Activatable.register method),
    - THEN my code will still work as is (i.e. I wouldn't have to change my existing code to specify the port anywhere in it)?
    (If I am not understanding this correctly, please let me know!)
    Thanks very much,
    /Mel

  • When I create a stickie note, I can not save any font size other than the default.  How do I save a stickie with a larger or different font?

    How do I save a stickie note with a different font size other than the default?  When I create a note and save it using a larger font, it reopens with the default.

    Unlikely, I'm afraid.
    The LMS has no control over the playbar that pauses or plays the Captivate content.
    In a Multi SCORM package, the LMS also may be showing a TOC in the SCORM player with links to launch the lesson modules.  This TOC is in addition to the TOC inside the Captivate project file which gives access to sections of the module by jumping to slides that begin those sections.  But the LMS doesn't usually give you any control over the look and feel or functionality of that TOC either. 
    If your client is adamant that they want complete control over these areas, then your best option may be NOT to build this course with Captivate but build it from the ground up with another tool.  E.g. Flash, or Dreamweaver.  Either way, that will add a lot more time and expense to the project.  But if the client has the budget and is unwilling to budge on their requirement, then that's what I would be telling them to do.

  • MacBook Pro freezes when using any app other than the web browser.

    My MacBook freezes when using any app other than the web browser. I can open up Google Chrome and use it all day with no problem, but if I minimize it and try to browse through photos in my picture folder or do anything that involves the Finder, the computer just freezes up and I get the rainbow wheel. If I put in a CD to play it, the computer freezes with the rainbow wheel. Any suggestions? I would like to use the mac for more things than the internet.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Configuring a Communication Channel for an AE other than the default IS

    Configuring a Communication Channel for an Adapter Engine other than the default engine.
    See:  help.sap.com for Communication Channel http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1b/d5ef3b1ad56d4fe10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    It states under 'Adapter Configuration', that you can specify the Adapter Engine you want to use in the Adapter Engine dropdown box.
    I have activated the XI components on my ERP system using transaction SICF, but what do I have to do to make the other adapter engines show up in the dropdown list when configuring an adapter?
    Maybe some background would be helpful:  This is for a scenario that will send a file from an external system to one of the ERP systems in our landscape.  BUT, the system admins have decided to revoke our FTP accounts (because they have their reasons), so I need to create a File Adapter that will drop the file on the file system of that ERP system, due to visibility I want to use the integrated Adapter Engine that comes with the ERP system, but need to know how/what I'm missing in setting up this scenario.

    Hi Anesh,
    >>>>but what do I have to do to make the other adapter engines show up in the dropdown list when configuring an adapter?
    in order to use some other adapter engine you
    have to install it first by dafault only one
    (central) adapter engine is used and it is all
    most clients need
    if you'd like to use some other adapter engine
    (decentralized for example) have a look at thid guide:

  • Keychain services API and dealing with Keychains other than the default

    Hello,
    So I've been doing some C work with the Keychain services API. But I can't figure out how to set the Keychain for a function to something other than the default, which is set by passing NULL.
    For example,
    status = SecKeychainAddGenericPassword (
    *NULL, // default keychain*
    10, // length of service name
    "SurfWriter", // service name
    10, // length of account name
    "MyUserAcct", // account name
    passwordLength, // length of password
    password, // pointer to password data
    NULL // the item reference
    This function is defined here:
    http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Security/Reference/keychainservices/Ref erence/reference.html#//apple_ref/c/func/SecKeychainAddGenericPassword
    and the data type for the Keychain is here:
    http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Security/Reference/keychainservices/Ref erence/reference.html#//appleref/doc/cref/SecKeychainRef
    But neither helps me at all for being able to edit a keychain that isn't the default Keychain.
    I appreciate any help, thanks.

  • Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error, so you can load Firefox again.

    Whenever you try to save a PDF file to a location other than the default location ('My Documents'), Firefox freezes & you have to go to the 'Task Manager' to exit Firefox and stop the error. I have Windows XP (Media Center Edition) and all updates (Firefox, Adobe PDF, Microsoft, virus protection, etc) are installed. This has only been a problem since Firefox 4, and isn't a problem in Internet Explorer.

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your detailed question. It sounds like the real issue is pdf files. Are there any antivirus/firewalls that might be blocking this specific file type? or are there any preferences in your control panel that might be blocking this?
    Do you have any stored preferences for PDF files in Firefox?

  • Deploying Crystal Reports 2008 on a website other than the default website

    Hi,
    We have an ASP.NET 2003 web application using CR 2008 as reporting tool.
    To deploy the application, we are using the CR 2008 mergemodules.
    If the application is installed into the default website, this works fine, but if another website is selected, the mergemodule still installs CR 2008 to the default website.
    To overcome this problem, the crystalreportviewers12 virtual directory has to be created in the selected website.
    But if the application is installed directly into the website, and not into a virtual directory of the website, problems occur, like images not showing up.
    I would like to know if there exists documentation regarding deployment into websites, other than the default website and what configurations have to be done to make it work.
    Best regards,

  • How do I strop thunderbird from using any email account other than my default one?

    I have a number of different email accounts all set up separately but identities are not set as they were too confusing for this autistic brain.
    How do I stop it choosing ANY other address in the "from" and "reply to" of replies or forwarded emails.

    You most likely don't need identities, at least not as Thunderbird uses the term.
    Most of us would reply to an email address by replying "from" the address it was sent "to". I wouldn't reply to business emails using my private email address, nor would I reply to private email messages using my work email address. Email software generally goes out of its way to maintain this consistency. So you want to override this built-in behaviour. ;-)
    You might find these add-ons useful:
    Folder Accounts lets you associate an email address ("identity" in the broader sense) with each folder, so this can force the use of a preferred address.
    Correct Identity reads through the message you're writing and picks out a relevant "identity" to use as "from:", depending on whom you are writing to. This helps me avoid using my personal email address to reply to business emails and vice versa. It can also flash up a warning if you try to use an "unapproved" email address in the "from:" field.
    I have used Folder Accounts to override the default identity for one or two accounts which are used in a very specific context, such as reporting spam, but it has clashed with newsgroups. Of course, this may not matter to you.
    Of the two, Folder Account may suit you best if you don't use Thunderbird to read newsgroups.
