  • Address Book flipped last and first names and won't flip back

    Has anyone encountered where after syncing Address Book with Exchange, the first and last names have been flipped and cannot be flipped back? No matter what I do in my Preferences, I can't seem to stop having the address card show the last name first and the first name last. I've tried adjusting the "Sort By" and "Display Order" in multiple configurations and just can't seem to get it back the way it was with First Name then Last Name displayed and sorted by Last Name. Even when I look at the "Template" I see the First Name first and the Last Name second but neither the card nor the list window shows it that way.
    Has anyone else seen this? Were you able to restore control to how you view this?
    Thanks

    no responses but I discovered that if I change the sort feature a few times, Address Book corrects itself. Wonderful feature.

  • Can you sort an outline alphabetically

    Hello Does any one know if you can you sort an outline in pages alphabetically? I could do it using word. I am using one of those templets. Thank you.

    Ok This is what you were after.
    This assumes that you use a Paragraph style for your header AND THERE IS ONLY ONE HEADER ON EACH PAGE WHICH IS ONLY ONE PARAGRAPH LONG

    app.changeGrepPreferences = app.findGrepPreferences = null;
    app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "My Header";
    // Change above to the name of header style
    myHeaders = doc.findGrep();
    for (n=0; n < myHeaders.length-1; n++) $.writeln([myHeaders[n].contents]);
    myHeaders.sort (function (a,b) {if (a.contents.toLowerCase() > b.contents.toLowerCase())  return 1 else return -1})
    l = myHeaders.length;
    while (l--) myHeaders[l].parentTextFrames[0].parentPage.move (LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING);

  • Faces and Address Book - can you sync key photos?

    I really liked it how the new iPhoto uses address book to get the details of people when you identified them with faces. I thought it would be really useful if Address Book could sync the identified contacts with the 'key photos' used in iPhoto, but annoyingly this does not seem to be possible, unless you manually drag and drop each image you want into each individual card.
    Does anyone know if there an easy way of doing this - or - have Apple uncharacteristically overlooked an opportunity for cross-application information sharing?
    Thanks,
    Madsen

    Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
    This is not currently a feature of iPhoto - request from Apple -- iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
    Since this is version one of faces I would expect to see additional functionality in future versions - the address book feed to faces was added in update 2 I believe it was

  • Need help with Address Book---trying to print first names first???

    I am trying to print address labels from the Address Book but the last name keeps coming up first.  Entered correctly using First and Last name boxes.  Also checked the Preferences-General and marked the box to put First names first but no luck.  Am I missing something?

    See the Address Book Preferences/General tab.  Is the the "Sort by" dropdown box set to Last Name?

  • Can you sort indesign pages alphabetically?

    I have a document with over 200 page and I want to sort the pages alpahetically after the heading on every page.The headings have one paragrah style. The document is singel pages, but there is two text frames on ever page. Many pages have also the same heading, so I hope to sort them in the  same order in which the document is now.
    If you see the images under, I want to sort the pages alphabetically after the "heading" in bold to the right (txt:Best Buys Natural Wines)
    Is it possible with a script or something else?

  • Can you sort ibookshelf books by collections and list all of the books in each collection?

    can you sort ibookshelf books by collections and list all of the books in each collection?

    The collection changes a little by the criteria you use to view the books, and you can view them by Title, Author, and Category. So, yes, you can.
    The default view is Book view. On the upper right part of the page, you'll see four white blocks - that's the icon for book view. The icon on the right has three white lines; that's where you find Title, Author, and Category view. You can't create folders in any view.

  • No contacts in address book, can not find address book anymore

    I was trying to switch default email accounts, Hughes.net was the default and Yahoo the secondary and I wanted to swap these around as I am no longer using Hughes net.
    In doing so I lost all email folders and address books. I have rebuilt the folders but now I see that I have no address book in either accounts.
    Are they gone for good?
    Thanks.
    Jeff

    There are two default address books in Thunderbird. Both of these address books can be copy pasted between mail accounts.
    ''Personal Address Book'' is called '''abook.mab'''
    ''Collected Addresses '' is called '''history.mab'''
    These are stored in your Profile folder in the mail account name. But it would need your old mail account to be intact in order to copy anything from it to another mail account.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
    * C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Profile name\ mail account name
    The AppData folder is folder is a hidden folder; to show hidden folders, open a Windows Explorer window and choose "Organize → Folder and Search Options → Folder Options → View (tab) → Show hidden files and folders".
    If your original mail account is still there: Profiles\Mail\mail account name
    You could simply recover it. Info here:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_deleted_mail_accounts
    Remember, when performing any changes in Profiles folder, Thunderbird must be closed first.

  • How can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

    how can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

    You used to be able to do this through leaving unchecked the box in preferences "when sending to a group show all member addresses". However, that feature failed some time ago (two or three years?) and the only way to hide the addresses now is to put the group in the BCC field.

  • One of my 2 address books can no longer be viewed, how do I access it?

    ''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1051908 /questions/1051908]''
    one of my 2 address books can no longer be viewed, how do I access it? It disappeared within the last few days. I can still find addresses that are in the 2nd address book, but I cannot view it, so only 1/8 of my addresses are now viewable. How do I access the 2nd address book?

    Hi ronc2, there isn't a specific setting for this. Firefox's built-in JavaScript settings allow you to control several aspects of scripts*, but unfortunately not this one.
    I previously tried to find some other options for individually turning off this event, but I couldn't find a way. Someone might be able to create an add-on to solve this problem, but it will take someone cleverer than I.
    Extensions that disable scripts on a site-specific basis:
    * If you regularly visit some sites which do this, you can block JavaScript on that specific site using the YesScript extension. Unfortunately, other script-based functionality will be blocked as well.
    * YesScript does not preemptively block scripts on every site. If you have to visit a lot of random sites and want to take a paranoid approach of having scripting blocked until you see as much of the site as you can see without running scripts, then the NoScript extension would be for you. But even then it's "all or nothing".
    ''* These include: JavaScript enabled yes/no, override right-click menu yes/no, change order of windows yes/no, move and resize windows yes/no, close windows yes/no, specific features of pop-up windows, change images yes/no, detect copy/cut/paste and modify selection yes/no.''

  • Ibooks: how many books can you put in it

    Hello,
    I have an ipad 1 and since the latest update for ibooks, ibooks keeps loading my books (the wheel in the right corner keeps rolling).
    I use the ipad also as storage for all my e-books (i have more than 3000 books). I know E-readers are getting slow if you put too many books on it, but I thought it wouldn't be a problem for an ipad, since there is much more memory and gb on then on an e-reader.
    Does anybody knows if there is an limit on the amount of books you can load in ibooks? And if there is a limit, howmay books can you put on the ipad 1 without problems?
    thanks

    Unfortunately we must be the only ones with the problem so no hope for us friend unfortunately..
    In my case, it's an Ipad 2 , 64G no 3G which worked great.. Now, i don't remember when latest iBooks was updated, but today i realised my iBooks kept on refreshing forever and not showing ANY books.. (((((
    I also have many ebooks which is what's common in our cases.. Other than that, I tried everything, turning on off ipad, loading itunes and trying to throw some more books in there just in case, eventually deleting from ipad and installing again from itunes iBooks... NOTHING worked.. Unfortunately..
    I'm VERY disappointed since my ipad cost me about 720 euros and the PRIMARY reason i got it was about reading e-books... (on a sidenote when i purchased it I was shocked to see iBooks was not even already bundled in - thought it was a joke)..
    Hope someone from apple might read this and help us.. :////////////

  • How can you sort an album that was released in 2007 but has 80s music on

    I have v8 of iTunes, almost completed all my tagging how I want it in iTunes for all my music
    I have a query though, I have a 80s, 90s smart playlist.
    I have recently got an album that was released in 2007, so the year in my library is 2007, however all the music on that album is from the 80s.
    So can you tag with 2 years, ie Album release date and song release (original date) or can you sort the album to show its songs from the 80s.
    Someone must have the same issue, especially from compilation albums
    please help
    cheers

    ahh, was hoping it may have had a "overall" year or album year release date.
    Man that means I gotta tag a lot of my music with the correct year now then, as the compilation albums I got all tagged form web with year released
    Whats the best way to get the year of the songs then please? is there an easy way? Ive got a lot of songs to do now
    cheers
