Improve contacts program

Last week I received my E70. What I hoped that it could replace my Psion Revo. Big disappointment. Appr. 8 years later it seems still not possible to at least reproduce the ease of use that was typical for these Psions. E.G: the contacts program! For a business phone the word 'poor' is very weak to descibe the options it has. I have about 800 contact in Outlook/my Psion. My problems: - if I synchronize my E70 with my outlook files category desciptions are not copied to the groups option of Contacts. - the options to organise the labels are almost non-existent. No display options, no sorting labels options. I need this: - synchronizing with categories being saved in the groups. - option to have one shortlist (direct visible under the contacts that can be phoned) and (a) longlists in the grousps menu where the rest of the contacts are stored sorted by my Outlook catagories, added with one extra category: 'show in shortlist'.

The phones are great, that's true. I doubted some time about the E61 and teh E70. But made the difference for me were a few things:
- the E70 has a better keybord
- the E70 has the best display resolution
- the E70 has a 2 Mpix camera
Still: it's rather bulky.
But again: it can be great phones, but they are as good as the software, considered from a business use point of view. And here they really lack a lot of attention, the contacts program as well as the agenda.
When considering the price of these phones you better include that you have to buy extra software (Epocware or Handango) for at least 60 - 80 Euro. And this makes them somewhat less great :-(

My Contacts program opens but doesn't display on the screen (it appears to be off above the top right hand corner).

My Contacts program appears to open, but doesn't display on the screen (it appears to be sitting just above the top right hand corner). any suggestions on how to get it back?

Launch Contacts, then on the "Window" menu select "Zoom". That should maximise the window and give you access to the bottom-right corner where you can resize it, and the bar at the top which you can drag around.

Corrupted contacts in Contact program

I have at least one (maybe more) corrupted contacts in my Contacts program, which is preventing me from scanning contacts with Contacts Cleaner.
I have 12,400 contacts.
The scan goes very quickly until contact #1086, then slows to a crawl.
Is there some way to identify this record without scrolling forever? Then I can delete it.
Or is there another way to "clean" my Contacts data?

On the phone app, these are your speed dial numbers.. and the max you can have is 9. When on the phone app, when you click on the favoritie, it will dial the number that was added to the speed dial.
On the contact app, this you can add as much as you want as your favorite. The difference is that when you click on the persons name, it will show you all their contact information, Phone, work number, fax, email, address..

Any ideal to improve my programs?

Hi,Gugs,

mistake,here is the correct attachment.
This program write by labview 8.2.1 @ windows 2000.
Problems:
======================================================
1.output data to excel file not accurate.
   I keep on looking for a solution about "write to excel sheet".
   I got download other people's program, but hard to understand & modify,
   I want to find out some easy way to write output data from different program into a same excel sheet.
   eg: I have output data from different programs:
                    -Current data from 1.vi,
                    -voltage data from 2.vi,
                    -temperture data from 3.vi
         I have a blank excel:
                    -001.xls
         cos 1.vi,2.vi,3.vi,all will call by a main program,they will loop for many times to get group of data for themselves.
         What I want is:
                   - Current ,Voltage,Temperture as titles for these 3group of data in the first row.
                   - 1 st column is the index of row.
                   - 2nd column is the data of current under title "current"
                   - 3rd column is the data of current under title "Voltage"
                   - 4th column is the data of current under title "Temperture"
======================================================
2.source meter data output "Volatage(Read)" read format not correct.
(see attachemnt program inside ke2400)
======================================================
3.string of setpoint temperture of temp-tronics cant display on the front panel of main program.
refer to the links http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=140&message.id=25934
still trying.

Is there any calendar /contact program that has the depth of power-on Now up-to-date that will run on Lion?

is there any calendar /contact program that has the depth of power-on Now up-to-date that will run on Lion?

This can be done easily with ethernet.
Please follow the instructions strictly.
To make it easier I want you to do this overnight so you can turn off all your current connection to the internet.
Just go to the airport fan in to the top right and turn airport off.
Get ethernet cable and connect the laptop to the TC lan port.. ie <-> ones.
Press and hold the reset on the TC for about 10sec. until the front led flashes rapidly.
Open the airport utility.. go to manual setup and change the wireless to off. (so other people around you cannot join your network of one).
Ignore all the errors.. they won't stop the backup working.
Go to the TM and reselect the backup target disk as the TC.
It should start after 2min and run through to completion.
That is it.. for a backup of many GB it might take a few hours.. so make sure the laptop has power plugged in and the sleep is off.. (on early ones I think this is needed but I am a late arrival to the scene).. sleep doesn't affect later OS.

Can anyone recommend a good Mac Calendar, Contact program for the iPhone

Can anyone recommend a good Mac Calendar, Contact program for the iPhone. The one intalled is hopelessly inadequate and inefficient. 2 Main problems- The current iCal + Contacts programs do not link to each other. And there is no To Do List!
Palm and MS Outlook had those features 6 years ago! Whats up with Apple?!!

ical does have a to do list in it. either click the little pin under the calendar, or click show to do list in the view menu.
i don't know much purpose behind needing to link ical and address book (not that i'm saying it isn't important at all - you obviously have some type of need for it). but it's got to be possible somehow, because you can set ical to make a calendar of birthdays from your address book contacts (in the main preference pane for the application).
plus, i doubt there'd be another mac calendar application you'd be able to sync with your iphone, unless whoever developed it developed an iphone app to sync it with. probably wouldn't sync with your contacts/calendar apps that come with the iphone.

Could somebody help me improve my program

Hi i have created a program that calculates specific properties of a scanned image and uses them to create a better image cropped and angled appropriatley.
But i am having a few problems and would like to improve it. Sometimes the code will crop the image and cut out text or not angle the image properly.
Most of the time it works but i want to improve it so that it will work with any image.
Could somebody possibly look at my code and see if they can see any improvements that can be made. I would really appreciate it.
My program consists of 4 java files and 2 .bat files. I cannot use attachments on here so if u are interested in looking at the code leave a reply and i could send u the files.
Thank you
Mark

My contacts program keeps freezing up

My iMac keeps freezing up. I have only had this problem after upgrading my operating system to snow leopard. It just keeps scanning and you cannot use the program the only thing I have been able to do is shut down the computer and I can only do that with the power button.

Thank you very much...I uninstalled and reinstalled and all my documents were there and it works perfect. Thank you very much!!!

A contact and calander program that can sync with iTunes

Hi There Everydoby-
I was wondering if anybody know of a free calander and contact program that can sync with iTunes and my iPod touch. I do not have Microsoft Office, I currently use Open Office for my word and Excel documents. But I do not have a clalander or contact program that will sync with iTunes.
So if anybody can let me know if anybody is using or know's of what I can use that will work with iTunes, i'd really appriciate it.
Thanks- Doug

Hey Galilio,
You can try restoring the iPhone from a backup that is dated before the contacts were erased. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 will walk you through restoring the iPhone from backup.
You can also Reset the Sync History from the iTunes preferences window, under Devices. This would force iTunes to prompt you again, asking if you want to merge or replace contacts. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 provides more information.

So at least since October 2008 there has been a lot of trouble with this Sync business on iPhone and iPod touches. In July 2009 the problem persists and no easy to find news from Apple on the issue.
I'm dreaming of the time where my Palm V used to do the job - a push of a button and synching is done - it's been like that for more than 10 years with that device. With Apple I was hoping to improve to photo synching - all I can do now is using the dreadful Windows Address book. I could also buy some Apple gear. But I won't yet since I think Apple should get it's software right on any platform - not just the one they built themselves.
What do you think - will there be a solution any time soon that helps fixing sync **** problems like the one describe above?

I know it may not make you feel any better, but I've not had any trouble with a 1st Generation or a 3G with syncing with Outlook 2003 or 2007. Both phones are still working flawlessly. Let me ask you as couple of questions about your problem. Is contact syncing the only thing that is not working? Have you been able to see your phone in iTunes and does Calendar sync?
For photos you mention, does the computer recognize the iPhone in My Computer under Scanners and Cameras? If so, you should be able to transfer photos the same way you do from any other digital camera. You would just use the same software you use for that purpose, or you can just click on the iPhone in the Scanner and Camera section and copy the photos from there.

Z10 GREAT PHONE, BUT THEY HAVE TO IMPROVE THE FOLLOWING:

Soy un Blackberrista y apoyo la marca y sus productos. tengo un Z10 desere hace 4 dias y Blackberry debe MEJORAR / SOLUCIONAR lo siguiente: (OJALA ALGUIEN QUE PUEDA TENER POSIBILIDAD DE CAMBIOS TECNICOS EN SOFTWARE, LEA ESTO)
1- No puedo hacer llamadas desde la pantalla del BBM. Si alguien ha enviado mensaje y tengo un Chat, deberia poderse llamar desde alli. Tampoco existe en la pantalla de SMS ni de Mail. Al poder el dedo en pantalla para que despliegie la barra de menu a la derecha, NO ESTA LA OPCION "LLAMAR". ES NECESARIO Y UTIL QUE SE PONGA!!
Tampoco se despliega "LLAMAR" al tocar ese contacto y usar el menu de abajo a la derecha (el de los 3 puntitos en vertical). ES NECESARIO Y UTIL QUE SE PONGA!!
2- No se entiende bien la forma de "vincular" un contacto a un contacto de BBM. Deberia clarificarse la funcion.
3-Cuando marco un numero de telefono, no aparece el numero telefonico al que llamo en la pantalla sino solo el nombre del contacto. Es muy util saber a que numero de todos los de su tarjeta de contacto, le estoy llamando.
4-En el historial de llamadas, deberian aparecer las llamadas entrantes y salientes, perdidas o no, en una sola oportunidad. Si alguien me ha llamado 4 veces y lo he llamado 3, por ejemplo, no deberia aparecer 4 veces en pantalla sino solo 1. Al tocar dicho contacto es cuando deberia desplegarse las 4 llamadas y las 3 realizadas. Ese problema existe tanto en la pestaña de llamadas Perdidas, como en la pestaña Todas.
5-la BATERIA !. la BATERIA!!! NO DURA NADA, SIMPLEMENTE ASI! NADA.! y SE CALIENTA!!
6- Definitivamente debe mejorarse la sincronizacion de contactos de un dispositivo del software 7 al 10. La mayoria de mis contactos no se transfirieron, ni al hacerlo a traves de Blackberry Link. Y trate de restaurar una copia de los contactos desde Blackberry Protect de mi antiguo dispositivo al Z10, y nada. Ahora me llaman y no se quien es. DEBE BUSCARSE LA FORMA DE ARREGLARLO.
7- la forma de silenciar rapidamente el telefono, no existe. La persiana negra(con la pequeña cama y la luna) que se baja para poner en stnad by el telefono y no entren llamadas o notificaciones, solo se despliega desde la pantalla inicial (pero teneindo cuidado de no abrirla completa, pues sino no baja la persiana sino el menu de opciones de configuracion, bloqueo de rotacion y otros) ESTO DEBE MEJORARSE como en el 9360 que con apretar la tecla Q, se cambiaba al instante a "vibrar". ESO ES SUPER UTIL Y DEBE BUSCARSE LA FORMA DE ARREGLARLO.

I am a Blackberry fan and support the brand and its products. I have a Z10 Blackberry since 4 days and BLACKBERRY should IMPROVE / SOLVE the following: (HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF TECHNICAL CHANGE IN PROGRAM, READ THIS)
1 - I can not make calls from the BBM screen. If someone has sent message and I have a chat, you should be able to call from there. Nor is there on the screen for SMS or Mail To power your finger on screen to despliegie the menu bar on the right, NOT THE OPTION "CALL". YOU SHOULD INCLUDE IT AND IS USEFUL!
Nor displays "CALL" by touching the contact and use the menu below to the right (the 3 vertical dots). YOU SHOULD INCLUDE IT !
2 - not well understood how to "link" a contact to a BBM contact. Function should be clarified.
3-When setting a phone number, do not see the phone number that I call on the screen but only the contact name. It is very useful to know what number of all of your contact card, I'm calling.
4-In the call history, should show incoming and outgoing, missed or not, on a single occasion. If someone has called me 4 times and I've called 3, for example, IT DOES NOT HAVE to appears 4 times on screen but only 1. Touching the contact is when should deploy the 4 calls and 3 performed. This problem exists in the Missed Calls tab, including the All tab.
5-the BATTERY!. the BATTERY! NOTHING LASTS NO, JUST SO! NOTHING.! and HEATED!!
6 - You should definitely improve contact sync software device 7 to 10. Most of my contacts are not transferred, nor to do it through Blackberry Link. And try to restore a backup of contacts from Blackberry Protect from my old device to the Z10, and nothing. Now if someone call me and do not know who is. FIND A WAY TO FIX IT!!.
7 - a faster way to silence the phone, does not exist. The black shade (with the small bed and the moon) which lowers to put in stand by the phone and incoming calls and notifications, only unfolds from the initial screen (but careful not to open it complete, since it does not lower the blind but the menu with configuration options, rotation lock, etc.) THIS MUST BE IMPROVED as in 9360 with Q key press is instantly changed to "vibrate". SUPER USEFUL AND YOU SHOULD FIND A WAY TO FIX IT .

Would like to add the following:
1. Why not make it so that when you open your landing screen and you show live, text msg, live emails, etc that you can touch the icon from that screen and go directly to text msgs, emails, etc.
2. Since the Hub is the core of this system why not make so that you can always go back to the hub with one touch no matter where you are.
3. Lastly for us reading challanged older folks please when trying to read small emails that you are able to enlarge and automatically reformat to fit the screen as earlier version of BB did.
Overall enjoying the phone , being my first full touch screen , but seem there are some very simple things that could be changed to make the experiance more user friendly.

New to Apple. Any suggestions for a contact mgmt. app for Mac similar to ACT?

I am totally new on Apple products. Can anyone suggest if there is a comparable product such as ACT or Goldmine for Customer Contact Management purpose? I am excited about the simplicity of "Contacts" on Mac compared to ACT or some of the more complex programs where we never use all those fancy features. I am not fully aware of Apple's "Contacts" program capabilities yet.
I run a small business and need some basic features such as being able to sort contacts based on City, type of client, or any other fields, so I can create reports and use the list for marketing purposes, etc.
I will greatly appreciate if anyone has suggestions on the following two items:
How to migrate my ACT contacts easity into either iCloud or on my new Mac?
Any tutorials that I can look at how small businesses are using the Mac contacts database?
Thank you so much for your help!

Daylite from Marketcircle is probaby the best bet: It's a full-fledged CRM solution. It will work for a single person, though it's most targeted at small workgroups (5-50 people).

New MBP and lost contacts I had.

I had them on a back-up drive but they are gone from there from that drive and Im PO'd....need to xfer my contact list from iTouch to new computer. is there a way or Im I loosing my mind or both. I thought I could use my iTouch as a backup but when I go to sync it's going to wipe off my iTouch with nothing on the new computer. I forget how to go the other way.

Have no idea what kind of computer or software you are using, but add a contact to whatever contact program you are using on your computer and it should merge the files when it syncs.

How to enter a birthday versus a birth date into iPhone contacts

Hi,
I sync my contacts with Yahoo!. For many people in my contancts I know their birthday (for example, December 5th), but not their full birth date (for exmaple, December 5, 1975). The iPhone doesn't seem to have an option that lets me put the year in as unknown. I don't want to put in the incorrect year or a dummy value like 1900.
Is there a way around this? Is there a way to get this added to the iPhone feature list? It seems like this is a common situation and one that many calendar and contact programs support.
Thanks,
Don

How can i remove duplicates and certain contacts on Outlook and my iPhone?

I use the Outlook mail and contact program on my PC with a Windows 7 operating system, which I sync with my iPhone5.
After installing the iCloud program, I now have duplicate and sometimes quadruplicate contacts.
1. How can I remove the duplicates?
2. How can I be selective about which contacts I want to share on iCloud, in other words, can I share only certain contact categories/folders like work contacts or personal contacts?
3. How can I "uncloud" specific contacts and have them appear only on my computer and not on my iPhone?
4. Is there a way to restore accidently deleted contacts?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Connect the device to the computer.
Select what is desired to sync.
Sync.
