HT2486 why do my contacts copy when added to a group?

New Mac user here, so forgive me if this is super simpe. Did not find anything while googling it. When I highlight and drag a contact to a Group, it duplicates it in my contact folder. Why is this, and is there any way to not duplicate each contact card?

Depending on where the groups and contacts are located. If all the contacts are in iCloud and the groups are actually under the local On MyMac contacts, when you drag a contact to the group, it is also copying to the local contacts since that's where the groups are located.
If you continue to use iCloud, go to system preferences, open the iCloud icon and sign out. Select to delete contacts from the computer.
Then sign back into iCloud and contacts and groups should merge. You should only have iCloud contacts now and On My Mac should not show.
Unless you are using local contacts to sync to something else, it's not needed.
You should also make sure you have a backup of your contacts such as a TM backup. If, archive your AB before doing any changes in case something goes wrong.

HT2486 why don't addresses appear when emailing group?

I am trying to send an email to a group I created in Address Book. I "right clicked" on the group and selected Send Email to "Group", whereupon the blank email message appears with nothing in the To: window. If I type the name in the window, it disappears when I hit Tab or Enter.
The group appears under iCloud in my Address Book.

Curious
When I do what you do, the contacts in the group propogate the Send To field, as I'm assuming they are susposed to do.
Check Mail Preferences
Under the Composing tab, there is a box for "When sending to a group, show all member addresses"...
is this checked?

Suddenly getting 404 error when adding user to group

Hi,
I have an OAM 10.1.4.0.1 instance that's been working fine.
However, today, I noticed that when I tried to add a user to a group, when I am in the selector page and click a user, I then get an HTTP 404 error.
I've searched all of the log files that I can find, and I can't see any error messages. The only thing that is showing an error in a log is the IIS that I have setup with WebGate for OAM Admin. I get a "404" error with a sc-win32-status or "3".
I have restarted everything, and that still hasn't helped.
Does anyone here know what might be causing this, or how to diagnose the problem?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi,
I'm answering my own question/problem here, but hopefully this info will help someone else.
I was able to get adding users to groups working again. I found that after I cleared the cache in my browser (IE6), the "add user to groups" started working again, without the HTTP 404 error.
In hindsight, I guess this kind of makes sense, because if you ever watch the URIs on the selector pages, they all look alike, so I'm guessing the IE would not send a full GET request, but the "content" was no longer valid on the OAM server, thus the 404 error.

TFS 2013: Access problem when adding a AD group to members

Hi there!
I have a big access problem. It seems I cant log into TFS if I add a AD group to a collection but I can log in if I add single users from the same group.
EDIT: The group I want to add is from another domain. Maybe thats the reason for the problem?
Any ideas? I dont want to add 150 users one by one ;)

Hi John
I will try to answer your questions :)
There’s two domains, TFSdomain and Userdomain, right? - Yes
The TFSdomain one way trust to Userdomain? - Yes
If you add a single account(Userdomain) into your TFS Server, this single account(Userdomain) can connect to TFS Web Access or your account can connect to TFS Web Access? Your account and this single account(Userdomain) are not the same account? -
I have two accounts, one User domain accout and one TFS domain account that is TFS administrator. If I use the TFS domain account to add the User domain account as a project group member this user domain account will be able to access the TFS web access
from the user domain.
If you add an AD group(Userdomain) into your TFS Server, the user in this AD group(Userdomain) will cannot access TFS Web Access or your account cannot access TFS Web Access? Your account and this user are the same account? Or your account included in this
AD group(Userdomain) too? - The user domain:s "domain users" group includes my user domain account. If I add the user domain:s "domain users" group as a project group member in TFS (with my domain user) my user domain account will
not be able to access the TFS web access from the user domain.
When connect to TFS Web Access failed, what’s the error message you received? - There is no error message, I am only asked to log in again.
If you cannot access TFS Web Access, how did you add AD group(Userdomain) into your TFS Server? Or once you added the AD group(Userdomain) into TFS Server, you will cannot access TFS Web Access immediately? Your account is a Userdomain user? -
I added it with my TFS user domain administer account
The scenario is as follows:
I have a one way trust from tfs domain to user domain.
I add a user domain account as a project group member in TFS. Now this account is granted access to the project using the TFS web access client.
I remove the user again.
I add the users domain:s "domain users" group (where my user domain account is included) as a project group member in TFS. Now my user account is
not granted access to the project using the TFS web access client.
Hope this will spread some light on the problem.
Thanks Stefan

AD Group membership not updating in Sharepoint Foundation when adding Active Directory group to Sharepoint group

I have Sharepoint Foundation installed with the latest CU updates. It is running on a VMware box (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) with its backend on a SQL Server 2008 R2 vmware box. The farm account is a domain user and has been given all appropriate
replication rights, etc to active directory.
Everything seems to be working fine except for security integrated with AD groups. When I go to edit permissions I can add individual AD users just fine and remove them just fine and their access is taken away right away or given to them right away.
I can also find AD groups in the people picker and add them to the site. When I add new groups to AD, they are found immediately within Sharepoint, and when I delete groups from AD, they are taken out of the people picker right away. Now comes
the weird part. When I add an AD group to the site, all users currently within that AD group are given access to the Sharepoint Site. This works for the first time only. Now when I add or remove users from the AD groups, it does not update
in SharePoint. For example, I have an AD testuser1 in the AD Group "All Users". testuser1 does not have access to SharePoint. So I add the AD group to the Sharepoint group "Visitors". testuser1 now has read access to the sharepoint
site. Now, I remove testuser1 from the AD group, but testuser 1 still has access to the site even though he is not part of the AD group, nor does he have any individual permissions to the site. Now, I add testuser2 to the ad group. testuser2
does not have access to the site, even though he is part of the ad group.
It seems that the only time AD group security is working for me is when I first initially add the AD group to the site. From then on, it's like sharepoint is caching the members of the group and not updating any new adds or deletes from the groups.
Any ideas? I am lost on where to go from here as I have tried everything from clearing cache files, rebooting servers, iisresets....

I think I have at least cornered the problem, but am not 100% sure yet that it is the correct answer. I think it could be 1 of the following 2 scenarios.
Scenario 1: We have 3 web applications setup on our web server ports 80 - Our sharepoint Web app, 2020 - Our My Site Web App, 2040 - Our Search Web app. We are using host headers (http://sharepoint.***.com) instead of a server name. So
we setup our access mappings (Central Admin -> Application Management -> Configure Alternate access mappings) to use the host header (http://sharepoint.***.com) as the default mapping and the server name as the intranet access mapping. By
setting the default access mapping to host headers, i noticed that Sharepoint automatically assumes that all web apps are on port 80. You can see this by going to (Central Admin -> Manage Web Applications). The port listed all 3 web apps on
port 80. So I think when I was doing a profile sync and using mysites, it was messing with my AD security because of this. What I did was the following. I went to Central Admin -> Manage Service Applications -> [Name of your user profile
service] -> Setup my sites. I made sure that my preferred search center had the correct port number on it (mine originally had no port number), that my my site host had a port (again no port number originally), as well as the personal site location.
I then saved this.
Scenario 2: Our user profile sync had 2 BDC connections that were corrupt and throwing errors. I rebuilt the connections, remapped them to the proper user profile property.
I did both of these scenarios above around the same time. I then restarted all my servers, and at last the AD Group security is now functioning appropriately. I have done multiple IIS resets and server restarts. The issue has only reappeared
once. After restarting the machine again, we were back to the AD groups functioning correctly. Because we had the issue reappear once after doing the above, I still do not feel 100% sure that either one of the above corrected the issue completely.
As long as we are up and running currently, I am moving on to other tasks with this project. My only concern that it will break again and I will have to revisit it is when we restart the servers....which is never fun. I will update as I find
a "true" answer to this issue.... Let me know if any of the above helped you or if you find something I may not have thought of.

Why do my contacts disappear when i turn my icloud off?

I don't know that much about icloud but i signed into it anyway and have it on. and one day i though no point in having it on so i turned icloud off and the next day i noticed all my contacts where gone. so i paniced. i tried the back up from my computer and that didn't work. i went to setting > contacts and then import froim sim that did nothing so i then re signed into icloud again and they all came back.
I want to turn icloud off but i can't cause then all my contacts disappear.

This happens because when you sync them with iCloud they are moved from your phone to the iCloud server. If you turn off iCloud you are disconnecting your device from the server so it can no longer access your contacts (or other iCloud data).
If you no longer want to sync your contacts with iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts off and choose Keep on My iPhone. That will keep a copy of your contact on your phone.

Why did my contacts vanish when I downloaded iso 5

When I updated the phone my contacts all were gone. 15 years of people.

Simply downloading won't erase anything. Did you install too? If you installed too then normally it also should not affect the library but sometimes for strange reasons it does which is why you need to do a computer backup before installing any updates of any kind. Do you have a backup?

PSE 9 (Win7) Organizer won't "copy" when adding images from network

First, bringing images into PSE 9 Organizer works as expected from cameras, memory cards, etc. The file is copied from the original source onto the drive with the catalog.
But, I simply cannot get a file "copied" from its original location when bringing it into the PSE 9 catalog under Windows 7 (64-bit) if the source location is on another computer "seen" via Windows Homegroup network.
I do the following from the Organizer:
1) File-Get Photos and Videos-From Files and Folders
2) I browse to the Homegroup folder that has the file, and highlight it. (By the way, it takes several attempts of moving the mouse over the file name before the preview appears and the file is actually selected.)
3) At this point I would expect the "Copy Files on Import" option to be available, but it is greyed-out and not checkable.
4) If I select Open or Get Media, the file does go into the Organizer, but the file location is still the Homegroup network drive. As soon as the source computer is off-line, the Organizer link is lost, and I can't use the file.
Why is the "Copy Files on Import" option never available??
Here's what it looks like:

What I am trying to do is to use Organizer to centralize, on one hard drive, images from various other computers in my Windows 7 Homegroup that may or may not be on when I need the images. A thumbnail in the Organizer that points to an offline source is not terribly useful.
My problem could be fixed, as well as the overall usefulness of Organizer improved, by the simple enabling of the copy option even when another harddrive or network drive is the source. In this way, both the "always-on" and "never-on" situations could be accommodated.
My solution was to copy the files in question to an SD card, walk the card over to my main computer, and then bring them into the catalog (which actually copies the files to the hard drive, which was my objective in the first place).

Why are my contacts deleted when I back up my phone and only some restored

Everytime my iphone is backed up, some of my contacts are deleted, why is this and how do I prevent it happening, how do I return the missing contacts?

If they are synced to iCloud and appear on icloud.com, they will reappear on your phone when you sign back into your account. As a precaution, you could use an app like My Contacts Backup to back them up before you restore if you wish. I would also recommend as a precaution that you import your camera roll photos and videos to your computer before restoring, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Why do some files copy when I move them?

This seems to happen with most files lately. When I use the drag and drop method of moving files, my Mac wants to copy them to the new location rather that move them in the traditional manner.

I do see that behavior if I try to drag an item's "preview icon" from column view's preview column. I also can't drag that preview icon to the Trash.
Icons in the preview column seem to be "special", though - I'm not sure what they actually represent. I wonder also if Finder becomes "busy" with an item when you click on it's preview icon. I can move the same item from its regular column-view list without having to copy it, so it's not a permissions issue.

Why do files automatically copy when dragging?

I've just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion and now I find that when I drag files in the finder from one window or folder to another, just to move them, the files automatically copy instead of relocate. I'm dragging with the standard left click on the mouse, and no option key. This is leaving me with duplicate files all over the place. How can I stop this from happening?
thanks,
Jack

Sounds like something in Finder is mucked up.
Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library"
Then go to Preferences trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

Why did all contacts disappear when I turned on iCloud?

Yesterday I turned on iCloud for my contact info, and when I tried to access my contacts some hours later, discovered that all my contacts disappeared from my iPhone4.
When I turned off iCloud for my contacts (iCloud is still on for other stuff) my contacts immediately reappeared.
What gives?

Thanks for the advice, but after this and other hassles, I've decided to not use iCloud in any way. I'm sticking with the old way of syncing my iphone via the cable and iTunes as well. Suits me just fine.
Other than not providing a detailed manual on iOS5 in general, and iCloud in particular, I'm not blaming Apple here. I used to be on top of my Mac and Apple devices, but somewhere along the road I got left behind, and I just don't have the time anymore to catch up, especially when that means doing so by trial and error.
I'm still an avid fanboy of my Apple computer, iPhone and recently Apple TV. I'm sure iCloud is wonderful, but having never successfully used it, I don't miss it.
Thanks again.

CRVS2010 Beta - FormulaException when adding condition for group summaries

Hello,
I have an application that makes some changes in a report and show the preview in a WPF Viewer.
At some point, I define the following formula:
crFormulaFieldDefinition.Text = "Maximum({Categories.CategoryID},{Products.Discontinued},'any change'}"
This triggers the following exception:
cryRpt.HasRecords 'cryRpt.HasRecords' threw an exception of type 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormulaException' bool {CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormulaException}
But when I tried to do the same thing with the condition 'change to Yes', no exception was launched.
Does anyone know if I am doing something wrong or this is a bug in the Beta release???
Thanks,
Igor

I do not have an answer for you, but Beata 2 has released and might be worth trying.

Field GROUPS not a member of INPUT when adding user to group in sap using BAPI_USER_CHANGE

when trying to add User to Group using BAPI_USER_CHANGE in the Import Parameters GROUPSX = X
I'm getting following error :
com.sap.conn.jco.JCoRuntimeException: (127) JCO_ERROR_FIELD_NOT_FOUND : Field GROUPS not a member of INPUT
BAPI_USER_CHANGE function work correctly for other parameters such as ADDRESSX, DEFAULTSX, PASSWORDX, LOGONDATAX, ALIASX
But in case GROUPSX I am getting above error.
Also I could able to add all above attributes including GROUPSX to user using sap logon. so it should be possible from BAPI as well.
Any input will be appreciated.

My bad,
I meant GROUPS is not an input parameter but a table parameter.
This is the ABAP definition of the BAPI:

Known limit for how many characters can be entered in the To field when adding People and Groups ?

I am running MOSS 2007 SP1. I browse to site settings > People and groups and a group which has more than 60 members. I select all > Click Actions > Email Users. Nothing happens. I select less users, new outlook window comes up as it should. I am running outlook 2007. I first thought that the limit was 50 users, but different user selections let me select 51 users as well. I then concentrated on the character limit and I noticed that there were about 1580 characters in the To field when I selected 50/51 users.
Is there a known limit in sharepoint/outlook client for this function on how many characters can be entered in the To field?

Hello Amar,
This is a by-design behavior, not from SharePoint side, but Internet Explorer. The limitation by the 2083 characters in IE for the Max URL length is described in the following KB article:
(KB208427) Maximum URL length is 2,083 characters in Internet Explorer
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;208427
As a workaround, you may need to divide the list up and not send all the email at the same time. Hope it helps!
Best Regards,
Lionel
