Icloud changes my contacts to include deleted data after edit. Why?

When I edit a contact (delete and add data), whether on iphone, ipad or imac, after a few seconds, the contact changes to include both the old and new data. For example, I deleted a couple of obsolete phone numbers and emails addresses and then added the current numbers and addresses. After clicking "done" or "save", the contact looks fine. Then, within a few seconds, the contact magically "changes" to include both the old phone numbers and emails which I deleted, as well as the new numbers and addressess which I added, on all of my devices. Needless to say, this makes for large contact files and a lot of useless info.
I edited the contact on icloud.com, on iphone 4s, on ipad and on imac. The same thing happens.
icloud seems to be merging, even when I've deleted data in a contact. What gives? How do I change settings so my edits to a contact "stick?"

I feel your pain. I awoke this morning to check my text messages on my iPhone (I'm away working in Norway) only to notice a text my girlfriend sent over the night. The title bar over the message listed her Italian mobile number instead of her name. I thought that odd, only to realize that virtually all of my contacts have disappeared from the iCloud. Even more strange, there appears to be no order, rhyme nor reason, or any form of sense as to what has been deleted. If this (and a few other issues I have with post-Jobs Apple) is indicative of Apple's trajectory, they're not going to be around long. I'm beyond ******-off over this and I'll be thinking very hard about buying Apple products in the future.

Keeping orginal creation date after editing a photo

In Photoshop, Does anyone know how do I keep the shot/creation date after editing/adjusting a photograph in order to keep hundreds of images in a chronological order? I am combining files with a second shooter on an event an the timeline is essential.

Hmmm you might have a point. I can see that tag in Bridge, but in Windows 7 Explore, that tag is not turned on by default. Right clicking a column heading gives you the option of turning on any of about 50 column headings. When I turned on the 'Date taken' column earlier the EXIF was there and correct. Looking at some of my edits just now, the Date created tags are OK, but the date taken tags are not showing for the psd and save as files. The date created tags for the RAW files show the time they card was uploaded to the computer.
It's not a big deal though. As the questions are being asked in the Photoshop forum, all anyone has to do is sort them in Bridge (which does retain the Date Taken tag), and Batch rename with a number prefix.

HT4865 If a contact is intentionally deleted from an iphone, why/how would it reappear later on back into the contacts?

If a contact is intentionally deleted from an iphone, how could/would it reappear later on?

On a Mac, PhoneView is one option (I've been happily using for a year or two). TouchCopy is another (have not heard anything negative about it).
You'll only get back the low-res versions that were downsized when synced to the phone, but better than nothing.

Contact notes: MFE lost formatting after edit with...

The text in my contact notes field loses the formatting. End of line is not being kept in the device. In Outlook the text remains normally formatted with proper end of lines.
I have this problem with MFE (I use the last versions of MailForExchange). The problem does not happen with Roadsync.
Tested with E65, E71.
In Outlook, I store lot of text in the Notes Field of each of my Contacts. After syncing with the mobile device, I check the content in the device and the text appears as one sentence. The End Of Line EOL (input by enter key) is being ignored.
If I create the contact on the mobile device and edit the contact notes only on the mobile device this does not happen. As soon as I edit the notes field in outlook and after the next sync, the text appears as all lines together without EOL.
Switching back to Roadsync and resyncing all data: all contact notes are properly displayed in the mobile device too.
Does anyone know how to avoid that Outlook messes up the formatting of the contact notes in the device?

i saved some information in the task boxes, which somehow do hold the original format. it is a better than nothing option since the contact details permitted in n71 are so sparse.

Is there a way to set PSE7 to delete originals after editing a photo?

When I edit a photo - crop it, resize it, adjust red eye or do a quick fix on a photo, it saves the original photo as well as the edited photo. I am looking for a setting to change so that I can delete the original photo and just save the edited photo. How do I do this?

May I point out that most people think that deleting the originals is a terrible idea. You can never go back and start fresh, subsequent JPGs are lower quality than the original; and on and on...

IPhone photo location and date data after editing

I'm using the DayOne app and have noticed that when I add photos that have been edited (using the Photos standard editing features) that the location and date information is lost. Is this normal or is this a bug? It seems to happen across all apps.

When you invoke the Editor from the Organizer, Organizer first does the equivalent of File > Write Keyword Tag to get all of the metadata from the Organizer (specifically, keyword tags) written into the file so it is available in the Editor. This changes the metadata of the image file but not the actual image itself -- that's why you see the Date Modfied and Date Created changed (though in normal circumstances, the date taken doesn't change).
Note that other Organizer commands will change an image's metadata and thus change Date Modified/Created: Edit > Adjust Date And Time, changing star rating, changing the caption, changing the notes.

ITunes changing the ID3 tags and deleting music after syncing or opening

After syncing (or opening iTunes), iTunes changes the tags in about 25% of my music (this time it was about 90% affected). It removes the total track number on some of the songs. This has been a consistent problem. I noticed that it also actually erased some of my music, random tracks in my library are now missing (gone in windows explorer also). I have reformatted my iPod and restored it, it's not that. What is going on!! Going through and fixing 7500 songs every time I sync is ******* me off
Here is a picture of what it is doing: removing the total track on some songs
http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u233/jupiterssj4/itunes.jpg
Forgot to mention that it also copied the artist field data to the album artist field... had to erase all of those too

Mine is doing the exact same thing. It happens every time I click on a song. Weird letter-number strings are inserted into the Comments field, my album art is gone, and the track numbers are messed up.
I've tried upgrading to the new iTunes. I tried reinstalling iTunes. I turned off my soundcheck option and deleting potentially comprised files. Nothing's worked.
I've tried emailing Apple directly and got no help. Anyone know what's going on???

SQL Loader deletes data, after reporting a file not found error

I have several control files beginning:
LOAD DATA
INFILE <dataFile>
REPLACE INTO TABLE <tableName>
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '<separator>'
When running SQL Loader, in the case of one particular control file, if the file referenced does not exist, SQL Loader first reports that the file could not be found, but then proceeds to delete all the data in the table in which the import was meant to take place. The corresponding log file reveals that the file could not be found, but also states that 0 records were loaded and 0 records were skipped.
In the case of all other control files, if the file is not found, the log files simply report this exception but do not show any statisitcs about the number of records loaded/skipped nor does SQL Loader delete the data in any of the referenced tables. This is obviously the expected behaviour.
Why is SQL Loader deleting the data referenced by one particular control file, even though this file does not exist and the corresponding log file has correctly picked up on this?

in the ressource name box of your file model, when you push the search button ("...") do you see the file ?
Cause the problem can occur when you write directly the path without selectionning the file with the assistant.
Try this.
I think too that that you can't see the data by right clicking and selectionning View Data ?
Let me know the avancement...

If I backup my iPhone to iCloud, can I restore it without losing data after syncing with new computer/iTunes?

The laptop my phone was synced to broke, so I had up get a new computer. I know that if I try to sync my iPhone 4 (running iOS 6) to the new iTunes on the new computer I'll lose my data. I have everything backed up to iCloud. Could I restore my iPhone after syncing with the new iTunes?

yes

Is there a way to retain the original date after editing?

I am using PSE 11 on a MacBook Pro, OS X (10.3). I have a lot of old pictures to edit, and they are in date order, which is how I want them.
However, when I edit a picture and save it, it moves it to the bottom, with today's date instead of the original date. I have them set to save with the original as a version set.
Is there any way to retain the orignal dates, short of having to go in and reset the date on every picture after I save it? I really want them to be in date order under their original dates.
BTW, I used earlier versions that were Windows-based, and this didn't happen. When I saved them, the version sets stayed where they were.
This is really frustrating!

SK Prairie Chicken a écrit:
I'd like an answer to this too.
What's your problem exactly?
The 'date taken' is never changed by editing a picture.

IPhone deletes notes after editing or making a new note?

Hello everyone. I've googled this to death and cannot find even so much as a hint. My iPhone (iOS 6.0) today began doing the strangest thing regarding the Notes app. I'll attempt to explain it as best I can. I will add that my iPhone is set to not sync notes to iCloud.
I have dozens of notes in the Notes app. The phone is deleting any edited notes or new notes. If I am in Airplane Mode (with wi-fi + cellular off), all is kosher. If I edit an old note or create a new note while NOT in Airplane mode, the phone will delete the note as soon as I hit the "Notes" button in the top left hand corner that returns me to the list. I have rebooted the phone multiple times, closed all apps out of the multitasking bar, tried with connecting to wi-fi only, cell + wi-fi, cell only. Same issue. The new or edited note will remain in the list for a moment, and then with no observable event, just be gone. The list will update itself to go from 76 to 75, for example. I have free space on the phone, it is not full. It will allow me to store photos, videos, and create new alarms. The issue appears to be isolated to Notes.
I realize I could upgrade iOS, restore the phone, etc. but problems such as this should not arise out of nowhere, especially on something as stable as iOS. Can someone give me a clue as to what is happening, and how to resolve it? As you can guess by having dozens of notes on my phone, it's my main note taking apparatus. I'm fairly crippled without it.

I've resolved my issue through Apple technical support. I'd like to provide the resolution for the issue so that if anyone happens to have the same problem in the future, he/she may refer to my post here for a solution.
Apple Support had me delete the Yahoo! email account, readd it as "other", and since I could not get the account to authenticate under POP settings, we added the account under IMAP settings. Upon doing this, all notes (even the ones I wrote when the issue was occurring) "magically" reappeared.
Issue resolved; mods feel free to lock.

How do I change the document name on my iPad after editing it?

I have forms to fill multiple time for different projects! On the iPad, I can not tell if they are different because I can't see the changes when saved to iBook or emailed. Do I have to wait until I'm at me PC, if yes the iPad and your app are useless!

You can change the document name before editing it, using the Duplicate feature. You can do this in the File Manager by going into ‘Edit’ mode, selecting the file, and choosing Duplicate option.
Adobe Reader currently does not support saving a copy of a file after changes are made to it (and not yet saved in the original). This is a feature we would consider for a future update.
Thanks for your feedback.

Contribute CS3 embeds the contents of SSI Includes into page after Edit and Publish

I have tried every possible way to figure this out but it
seems as though no one has this problem or a solution...
My Dreamweaver CS3 Template based files that have SSI
Includes placed in a "non-editable region" of a template and/or
nested templates are continually embedded, merged, or hard-coded (I
used those keywords for anyone else who might be searching for help
on this frustrating issue) into the page after it has been edited
and published with Contribute CS3 for Windows.
After many, many, hours and days rebuilding templates
(thinking that it was my code), experimenting with .htaccess
include_path variables, and cursing this application, I have come
to one conclusion - if I put my includes within "editable regions"
in the templates or the template based pages, edit and publish the
page with Contribute - then the page is saved normally, with the
includes intact and not embedded within the page. This is of course
not necessarily desirable!
I have tried using various types of include directives like:
<?php include('footer.inc'); ?>
<?php require('footer.inc'); ?>
<?php virtual(footer.php'); ?>


All Includes are merged into the template-based page after
the page has been edited and published with Contribute - if they
are in "non-editable regions"!
Please, someone point me in the right direction - if it's
calling Adobe's Help line, or posting the files or whatever. I
can't finish this project and hand off to the client until this is
resolved.

Hi,
I'd be reall interested to know if you got anywhere with this as I'm having the same problem.
The article referenced further down this thread is no longer available either.
Any suggestions or advice on this issue would be much appreciated.

Missing EXIF data after editing picture

Hi,
I've noticed that PSE 12 editor no longer writes the EXIF data from the original image.
I believe this started after upgrading to the most recent version of PSE 12 via Help -> Updates
Do you have any suggestions?
Regards,
Mike
Before:
After:

1/ to answer your question:
I don't have any user generated tags/kewords/captions on these historical pictures - but normal metadata (camera EXIF data) is showing up fine on flickr.
2/ I went ahead and tried Jeffery Friedl's Flickr Lightroom publishing plugin - it works well and GPS data is correctly picked up by Flickr.
so - unless anyone can demonstrate a working adobe flickr publishing setup with gps data I will assume it doesn't work and continue to use jeffery's.
Thanks
Bill

How to change the contact sync settings for icloud? please advise

how to change the contact sync settings for icloud? please advise?

There are no settings to change. Assuming you are using Lion 10.7.2 (or 10.7.3) - which you should be - you simply sign in in System Preferences>iCloud and check 'Contacts' and any other data you want to sync.
If you are using an earlier system you will not be able to sync your contacts, and there is no workaround. However you can sync them with Google or Yahoo contacts, though I don't know how well this works.
