HT2486 When I use my iPhone Siri for dialing, it is better to have the names in the address book listed singularly. But when I want to print envelopes from the address book in a formal manner - "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". Is there any way to have both options?

When I use my iPhone Siri for dialing, it is better to have the names in the address book listed singularly. But when I want to print envelopes from the address book in a formal manner - "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". Is there any way to have both options?

Only way I can figure is having double entries one with singular + some unique field, (maybe called Siri), then making a Smart group for one or both.

  • Just switched from safari on my imac. when using search menu safari gave me the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

    Just switched from safari on my imac. When using search menu in safari I had the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research and looking for specific phrases/words. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

    I think Safari has the same keyboard shortcut as Firefox "command+F" on a Mac or "Ctrl+F" on Windows.
    Look in the lower left corner for the Find. There are more likely to be differences in Find Next and Find Previous in the keyboard shortcuts, but continuing at the Find bar at the bottom doesn't matter what browser you use. There is an "X" there to dismiss the Find bar. In Windows the "Esc" key will dismiss the bar if you are within the find text entry area.
    Keyboard shortcuts:
    * [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts?s=keyboard&r=0&as=s Keyboard shortcuts | How to | Firefox Help], from Mozilla very limited number of shortcuts but will show correctly for your system
    * [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)], more comprehensive but is oriented to Windows users with some guidelines for Mac and Linux users.

  • HT201250 I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?

    I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?  No, they were not part of previous Time Machine backups, and I have checked both the hard drive the documents were lost on and the new one that I now use for backups. Any suggestions would be helpful, as the lost files are old pictures that are gone forever. :[ Thanks!

    1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.

  • 2 iPhones 1 computer – Is there any way to have separate contact list

    My wife and I recently purchased 2 iPhones (One for each of us). We are presently sharing an iBook G4. Is there any way to have separate contact list and separate calendars on the computer? We both use our phones for our individual work, and have different contact. I am trying to move us from pc to mac. I have a newer pc (compared to the G4) that I can hook the phones up too, but as I said I am trying to move away from PC's. We purchased the G4 used from a friend to get started and learn mac. Sorry for the long explanation I just wanted you to know that I am new to mac.

    Just set-up 2 user accounts on the computer, then you effectively have 2 computers in one. All your phone data, and everything else (internet bookmarks, desktop preferences, application preferences) etc. are completely separate.
    You and your wife can then use the computer in exactly the way you both prefer without affecting the other.
    You didn't say what version of Mac OS X you are using, so here are the instructions for:
    10.4.x: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh168.html
    10.5.x: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
    You can then use *Fast User Switching* to switch between the accounts:

    My new iPhone 5 email is synched with my home office computer Outlook email using a POP account, but deleting an email on my computer does not delete the email on my phone and vice versa.  Is there any way to get a true synch?.

    POP does not support synchronization between the server and clients. You will need to use IMAP or Exchange Active Sync if your email provider supports it.

  • Is there any way to have Mail automatically use our default "Sent" folder?

    We are a small college, with a fair number of users who use Macs and iOS devices, and we run an IMAP mail server. By default, our accounts are configured with Sent, Trash, Drafts, and Junk folders. Apple's Mail.app insists on "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Messages" rather than "Sent" and "Trash".
    We instruct our users to use the menu command Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > commands to select our server's folders on their desktops, and on iOS to use the Settings > Mail > Account > Advanced, but this is tedious and annoying. Most users get it about half right, so that some devices use our default "Sent", and some use "Sent Messages". (This happens with Trash as well, but most users are not concerned if their Trash differs device to device.)
    Is there any server setting that can hint to Mail.app that it should use "Sent" rather than "Sent Messages"?
    Apple has a support document about this issue, "Mountain Lion Mail: If messages aren't stored where expected on the server" (  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11810 ).
    However, that doc (and the similar one for Snow Leopard) merely says, "When Mail stores messages on the server, it looks for specific mailboxes, by name, in which to put the messages. If Mail doesn’t find those mailboxes on the server, it tries to create them on the server or, failing that, on your Mac."
    The document does not specify what the "specific mailboxes" are, and certainly does not suggest that there is any way to have it cooperate better with our server, but perhaps there is a way?
    (If I was trying to be a good IMAP client, I might look for any of "Sent", "Sent Messages", or "Sent Items", and use what I found before going to the next step of creating my own folder. Hard to imagine that any IMAP account would be initially configured without some "Sent" folder, so why not try to discover what the user has before pig-headly making your own.)

    Unfortunately, I have not found a consise way to explain this to the general user, just a huge wall of text to work around something that Apple got wrong the first time they created an IMAP client, and has stubbornly persited with. Here's our documentation for this silly problem:
    Special Folders on IMAP
    The basic idea is that all IMAP mail programs keep all your mail on our server, so that, e.g. when you read or reply to a message, all of your devices can then show that message as read and replied to.
    By convention, each IMAP program treats a few folders on the server as "Special", such as a "Trash" folder, that deleted messages get moved to, and a "Sent" folder, where each message you send gets copied. When they all pick the same special folders, all of your devices will show the same view of your mail. However, if different devices use different server folders for their "special" Sent folder, then the mail from these two devices will wind up in two different places, and be harder to find.
    Unfortunately, Apple's Mail programs are particularly obscure and obtuse in the way they treat these folders: They show their special Sent and Trash folders on screen with the obvious names "Sent" and "Trash", but secretly, under the covers, they insist on using folders named, "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Messages" instead. Even if the server already has perfectly usable "Sent" and "Trash" folders, Apple clients will ignore them and create their own special case "special" folders.
    If you only ever use Apple devices to look at your IMAP mail, you might never even notice their deception. But, if you sometimes use another mail client, such as webmail, you will encounter the confusing truth: When we created your account for the very first time, we add a "Sent" folder (actually named "Sent") and a Trash folder, named "Trash", and this is what everything except Apple's mail will use by default, because those folders are already their the first time the client connects to your account. However, even though Apple shows your special sent folder at the top of the list, with a paper-airplane icon, and labels it "Sent", in fact they ignore the existing "Sent" folder and make and use their own "Sent Messages."
    SO, if you send some mail from webmail, it will be in your actual "Sent" folder, whereas if you send it from an Apple mail program, it will be put into your "Sent Messages" folder. If you look into either "Sent" special folder, you'll only find part of your previously sent mail.
    Similarly for Trash, though most users find it more problematic to have two different Sent collections than to have multiple trash buckets.
    To unify things, you can either set your non-Apple mail programs to use "Sent Messages" and "Deleted Items"; OR, you can set all of your Apple devices to use "Sent" and "Trash". Doesn't really matter which way you go, though if a majority of your devices are doing it a particular way, you should change the non-matching devices to agree with the majority.
    (All clear so far? Why did Apple make this so hard? It would have been utterly simple for them to check for an existing "Sent" folder, and to use one if there is one, rather than to always stubbornly create and use a new "Sent Messages" folder. Then, they add to the problem by pretending that their new "Sent Messages" folder is really just named "Sent". Stupidity all the way down.)
    Anyways, to find out what the majority of your devices are doing, check them each to see which of the "sent" folders shows up in the "normal" list of folders rather than in the "special" location, that is, what folder name is in the list at the bottom of the folder area, rather than up at the special "Sent" icon, (because the special one will always be labeled "Sent", not matter what the actual folder name is).
    For example, say that on all-but-one of your mail setups, you see a "Sent Messages" folder down in the normal list, and on the other device, you see "Sent" down in the normal list.
    In that case, you'd want to set the "different" device to make the folder named "Sent" be the special one, instead of the "Sent Messages" that it was currently using.
    Conversely, if all but one showed "Sent" down in the regular folder area, and only one showed "Sent Messages", then you'd want to make "Sent Messages" the special folder on the odd device.
    Once you have decided, see the specific sections below for the procedure to set the "special" folders for Apple's Mail.app on a Mac, Apple's Mail on an iPhone/Pad/Pod, or for RoundCube webmail, or for Thunderbird.
    Once you have every device using the same sent folder, then you can move any messages from the "extra" version of the folder into your special folder, and then you can delete the extra folder. (If you delete this extra folder and it later re-appears, then it means one of your mail programs is still using it as its "special" folder, and recreating it.)
    Similarly for Trash, though probably you could delete the extra trash folder without moving the files, because they are trash.
    Here are the details for changing the Special Mail Folders on the systems we use:
    A) iPhone, iPad, iPod:
    As a first step, use Settings > Mail to set your device to read your email account, then open the Mail program so that it will read the list of all of your folders from the mail server. After that, go back to Settings > Mail to make sure it is using the desired special mailboxes on the server.
    Select your IMAP account in the settings tool, and then press the button for "Advanced" settings, and find the list of special mailboxes, e.g. Sent, Trash, Drafts. For each, scroll through the list of folders on the server to choose the folder you wish to use for that function.
    Note: iPhones/Pads/Pods also can be set to keep sent mail locally on the device. This is a spectacularly stupid choice for normal IMAP, as none of your other devices will be able to see the messages you send from your phone.
    B) Mail.app on Mac desktops and laptops:
    Set up mail so that it reads your messages and folders from the mail server.
    Select the "Sent" folder that you wish to use in the list of folders at the lower left of the mail window. (On newer Macs, the folders may be hidden by default. Use the "View > Show Folder List" menu command to display them if necessary.)
    Use the menu command "Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Sent" to specify that the selected mail box is the special folder for sent mail, and similarly for your Trash, Junk, or Drafts folders.
    C) RoundCube Webmail (with the standard skin):
    Login to your webmail site , and select the "Settings" icon in the upper right of the window, which has a "Gear" icon. This will display a "Settings" panel with buttons for "Preferences", "Folders", and "Identities" settings. When you first open the Settings panel, the "Section" panel shows a row of buttons for different Preferences.
    Click "Special Folders" in the "Section" list to open a list of "Drafts", "Sent", "Junk", and "Trash". Each special folder is followed by a menu of all your server folders. Select the server folder to use for each special folder.
    D): Thunderbird:
    After you have set up your connection to your IMAP account, click "Get Mail" to fetch your existing mail and list of folders on the server.
    Next, select the menu command "Options > Account Settings…" (Note that on current versions of Thunderbird, the default menu drops down from an icon of three horizontal bars, in the upper right corner of the mail window. You can use the Options command in this menu to display a menu bar at the top of the Thunderbird window if you wish. With the full menu, the menu command to access the special folders settings is "Tools > Account Settings…"
    Select "Copies and Folders" in the list at the left of the Account Settings window. This panel has a section for Sent mail, Archives, Drafts, and Templates. Select "Junk Settings" in the list at left to specify the location of the Junk special folder.
    For each special folder, the default choice is the the folder on the server with the "typical" name, e.g. "Sent" for sent, and "Trash" for trash. To use a different name, select the "Other:" option for the folder, and then choose the desired folder from the list of folders on the server.
    Oof! That's a lot of explaining for a issue that Apple should have gotten right in the first place, or at least should have fixed in their next several tries. It would not break any existing functionality if they merely used whatever folder the server had created, and only made their own if there was none.

  • Is there any way to have multiple user names/accounts on Icloud for families sharing an apple account?

    MY husband just got a iphone 5s last night, I have an iphone 5. We sharean apple ID.  When he backed up to icloud he got all of my pictures and contact numbers. Is there any way to create seperate icloud accounts so when  one of us back up we are only backing up our own data??

    You both need, & should use different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage & FaceTime. You both can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes content.
    Your husband needs an Apple ID for iMessage, FaceTime & iCloud.
    The Apple ID needs to be a verified email address. Once you have an email address, that can be verified, go here & create the ID:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
    Then on his phone, turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
    This will have no affect on the ID you both share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

  • Is there any way to get both libraries of music onto my iPhone?

    I have two computers, and one has the majority of my music on it, and the other has a little. When I first got my iPhone 4S, I connected it to the one with less music on it, and synced all the music I wanted. Now, I'm trying to add the rest of my library to my iPhone from this computer (the one with more music on it), but I can't manually add music without wiping the music from the other computer. Is there any way for me to get both libraries onto my iPhone without having to go without one of the libraries? Can I combine them somehow, or can I wipe the music off of it now, add the larger library, then go back and somehow add the other one (this already sounds like it won't work)?
    Thanks!

    You need to combine the libraries on one computer. Otherwise you'll be constantly erasing your iTunes content as you switch computers. iPhone will only sync or manually manage iTunes content with ONE computer at a time.

  • Is there any way to emulate "nounix" option when mounting Samba fileshares?

    I need to mount an SMB file share from a Linux server that I do not control. The server was recently upgraded to the new version of samba. With that change, the server now supports samba's new "unix extensions". The problem with this is when the file share is mounted on OS X, symbolic links show up broken because their paths are no longer valid (all details were previously posted in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8001291). Our environment makes heavy use of symbolic links, so they really need to work transparently.
    I know the solution in the previous thread was to disable unix extensions on the server. That is not possible for me in this case. A little googling shows that some linux users (primarily Ubuntu it seems) have gotten around this by adding a "nounix" option to the mount command on the command line. Is there anything comparable in Leopard? Is there a key/value pair that is equivalent to "nounix" that I could use in nsmb.conf? Note that the share shows up just fine in windows because it is not capable of these wonderful new "unix extensions".
    Thanks!

  • Is there any way to have unique setup for each Application in a single CSF

    Hello all,
    I am finding that i need more control with CSF files than just syncronising a generic setting that was made in one application...
    For example, for the same workflow, I need to have different policies in different applications such as:
         "Preserve CMYK" in Photoshop to correctly honor profiles in the images etc,
         "CMYK off" in indesign to properly preserve the Separation for my output style.
    Is there any way that i can make one CSF file that works differently on each application?
    Thanks!

    I'm not a ID power useful. I do own and use it ocassionally but I'm linking all the documents. That said, if I want say ProPhoto RGB to be the preferred RGB working space and I open a doc in sRGB, is that a problem in ID? Converting to ProPhoto in this case is senseless. Just leave the document in sRGB. Upon output, multiple images in differing color spaces should (should) be OK upon conversion to an output color space. Does ID have to have all images in the same color space to print?
    This is probably more evident when looking at a CMYK workflow. Although indesign will let you export PDF's with multiple different embedded profiles, I try to avoid this as it tends to result in issues like illustrator graphics that contain black objects which separate into 4 colour and cause potential registration issues on press etc...
    I am trying to remove all CMYK profiles and then asign an output intent by creating a PDFX file but so far the only way to consistently & reliabaly do it appears to be to set the CMYK policy to off in indesign...
    IMO a print ready PDF should only have one profile which describes the printing propcess that will be used to for the file.

    For example having "ask when opening" for profile mismatch is the only way to control your document policies in indesign, which is essential if you are being supplied documents from outside designers.

    I don't see the differences in the two app's in terms of this setting.
    The function inside photoshop equates to "ask me what to do if i open an image whoes assigned profile is different to my workingspace profile". Inside indesign this option represents a conflict in a documents embedded policies with regard to "CMYK/RGB Policy, Document CMYK/RGB profile and also offers you the oportunity to manage the color of placed content".
    While profiles can be assigned elsewhere, and placed content can be managed elsewhere, from what i understand, the only other way to affect your document's CMYK/RGB Policy is through scripting... Changing this in your colour settings only changes this for newly created documents as these options are inherited by the document from the applications colour settings at the time of the document's creation...

  • HT201359 Is there any way to have have store credit used before charging card?

    I am the primary account holder for my family sharing group. I have over £200 of store credit which is used when I buy something on the App Store. However I have just noticed that purchases made by my family members are being charged to my card when I still have plenty of store credit.
    What is the sense in that?
    Is there any way I can change this behaviour?
    thanks

    Thanks.
    Perhaps I should have been clear that all of the other members of my family are adults with their own full Apple ids and cards.
    the only reason I have set up the family sharing thing is so we do not have to buy the same app multiple times.
    i would rather not have all purchases billed to my account (as the group organiser) but I can understand why th do that, so that you don't sharewith strangers.
    what I can't fathom is why it is necessary to charge my card when I have plenty of store credit. I put the credit on my account precisely for this purpose so I wasn't best pleased to see the charges on my card.
    i Will take a look at the feedback link. Thanks
