If you have a Facebook friend w/ your same name, strange things happen ...

One of my Facebook friends is someone with my same name (he friended me out of curiousity, I guess). I enabled Facebook syncing in Contacts, and now some of his information appears on my card, including his job, Facebook email, URL, and Facebook IM address, and I can't get rid of it.
There was also separate card that had only my Facebook info, not the full set on my normal card (it must have been created when I enabled Facebook syncing). I thought maybe merging the cards would force Contacts to make me pick one or the other set of Facebook info, but instead, my single card now have two sets of Facebook info for two different people. There is no way to delete or even hide the bad Facebook info.
I could probably change my name in Facebook to my full first name, so that there would be two distinct people there, but no one uses that name and it seems overkill to make that change because Contacts isn't matching on enough fields.
And, when one of my family calls me from home, the other guy's face appears on my iPhone screen, although that's not the image associated w/ my card in either iOS or OS X Contacts. It's odd seeing that, to say the least.
This is in 10.8.2 and iOS 6.
If anyone has any suggestions, let me know!

"Facebook has absolutely nothing to do with the OSX" ...??? Really? See http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html#facebook
This *IS* a problem w/ the FB integration introduced in Mountain Lion, as it is messing up the data in OS X contacts w/ duplicate entries and uneditable fields. Also having same impact, via iCloud integration, w/ iOS Contacts.

    Will using AirPort Utility to "restore to original settings" make you have to re-back up your computer's files on a Time Capsule?

    The advantage is CCC has built in routines that "bless" (see the Terminal.app command "bless") the
    os x installation so it will boot properly on the new volume it is being installed on.
    Disk Utility simply copies (restores) files from one volume to another. Many times this works just fine.
    Sometimes it won't boot afterwards. Most of the time (as long as there are no system files missing
    or corrupted) a person may "bless" the drive and restore it to working condition.
    CCC is not a "magical" application, it is in fact a front end to applications that already exist separately
    in OS X (asr, hdiutil, diskutil, bless, etc.).
    It doesn't matter to me how you do it. It's your time not mine. Everyone should spend some time
    behind the command line in terminal. I do many tasks using the command line, including and not
    limited to complete system restores, backing up data, disk partitioning, installing software, disk
    repair, permissions repair, ACL management, restoring data, managing disk images, network
    management, user management, file management, etc. Many people are fearful of the command
    line. I feel just the opposite, I'm fearful without it.

  • Can't get into talk talk email account in Mozilla, you have undefined new mails in your inbox message. No problem with Internet Explorer though

    I've been using the Firefox browser for nearly a year now but for the past three days I can't open my tiscali email account via Firefox. The message "you have undefined new mails in your inbox" comes up. Talk Talk technical help says there is a problem with Firefox and advised me to use Internet Explorer. I can get into my account through Explorer but would much prefer to use Firefox so please help me out.

    Apparently TalkTalk mail will work with Firefox 4 and Firefox 5 ''if'' you set the browser to ''lie'' to TalkTalk mail by saying that you are still using version 3.6.
    You can find the instructions for that in a post on the TalkTalk forums: [http://www.talktalk.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=185113#post2452787 Firefox 4 & TalkTalk webmail - Forums].
    Note: when you open about:config the first time, it will display a warning message that you should be careful with the changes you make. That's definitely good to bear in mind.
    Does it work?

  • TS3989 New MacAir but  photostream does not work.  Message though everything is on. "In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences." And,

    New computer but Photostream does not work.  I am signed into my account but get the following message:  In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences.  I go to system preferences and then get a message that says that my account cannot be accessed.  However, I am using my icloud account for email and other items and it works fine.  Any thoughts?

    Are you getting this messages in iPhoto? If so try the following (again?):
    Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.  Then log back in and re-enable, respectively.  That should jump start Photo Stream.

    Thanks, how about in gallery on MobileMe ? As I am not near my computer for the next 3 weeks so can't do a cable sync do you think I could create and album in gallery on mobile me on a "borrowed" computer and do it throughout the cloud?

  • Sync message, "You have changed the settings for your iphone.  Would you like to apply these changes?" What does this mean?  I don't recall changing anything...

    Sync message, "You have changed the settings for your iphone.  Would you like to apply these changes?" What does this mean?  I don't recall changing anything...

    The main settings that are changed in these cases can be found in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    To ensure you don't lose any data you don't want taken off, ensure that each Summary, Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, iTunes U, Books, & Photos have the settings you would prefer on the computer. 
    If anything gets changed on any of those pages, you will be prompted with that message.  If they look fine, especially after adding some media like songs or videos, then you can apply the changes without fear.

  • Tiscali mail works fine with Internet explorer saying "you have 3 new mails in your inbox", with Firefox 5.0 it says "you have undefined new mails in your inbox". I cannot proceed beyond this point. Please advise david.tose@tiscali.co.uk

    Internet Explorer + Tiscali mail gives message "you have 3 new mails in your inbox (18% full)". Mail interaction OK
    Firefox 5.0 (freshly installed) + Tiscali mail gives message "you have undefined new mails in your inbox''. From here I cannot proceed.
    Is there a mail handler problem that causes Firefox 5.0 to fail?

    Yep, exactly the same problem only on W2K SP4. Firefox5 doesn't work but IE (on the same machine) does.
    Sorry, I'm not sure what version version of IE is being used.
    (It's the PC at work that has the problem and I'm writing this at home on my linux box which has Firefox version 3.6.18 for linux mint - which also works fine.)
    I really hope this can be fixed soon.
    Andy.

  • Do you have any exp. guys that your ipad3 infected with malware virus?

    Do you have any exp. guys that your ipad3 infected with malware virus?

    There is no malware for the iPad, unless you have jailbroken it. If you have not jailbroken it, whatever problem you are having that prompts you to ask about viruses is not caused by malware, guaranteed.

  • "You have 29 days remaining to make sure you have a complete copy of your photos....

    My Photos app as well as the iCloud website is telling me that "iCloud Photos Library has been disabled" and that "I have 29 days remaining to make sure you have a complete copy of your photos and videos."
    Then it tells me to go to my iCloud settings to disable this, but there's nothing there to turn off this death switch.
    Please help!!!

    I did some searching on the Apple Support site and found this article, sounds like it might be related to your issue.
    Maybe you can go back and undo the disabling?
    Get help with your iCloud Photo Library - Apple Support
    How do I remove all iCloud Photo Library content from my iCloud account and devices?
    You can turn off your iCloud Photo Library when you follow these steps:
    In iOS, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage > iCloud Photo Library, then select Disable and Delete.
    In OS X, go to System Preferences > iCloud > Manage > select Photo Library, then select Disable and delete.
    Once you turn off your iCloud Photo Library, you'll have 30 days to download your library to at least one device. You can download your photos and videos when you turn on Keep Originals or select the items to download from iCloud.

  • If you have a replacement phone will your saved voice mails still be there?

    If you have a replacement phone will your saved voice mails still be there?

    Voicemail is saved on Verizon's server, so unless you change your phone number, your voicemail will be available after changing phones.
    The only exception is moving to or from an iPhone - it uses a different system.  If iPhones are not involved, or you move from one iPhone to another, messages should be intact.

  • Can you have 2 itunes accounts on the same computer?

    can you have 2 itunes account on the same computer?

    Yes, go to your Windows Control Panel and create another user,log into it, run iTunes and it's ready to rock and roll.
    Transfer your content over via USB Key, Dropbox or external drive.
    Heck the best thing would be to File > Backup library to disk with a bunch of DVD-R's, therefore you get a backup in the process!
    Good Luck
