In Address Book, any way to Show/Hide groups from view in the "ALL" view?

I have groups of contacts in Address Book (v4.0.4) that I plan to use in the future, but right now having to wade through and past all of their individual entries when I am scanning my contact list in the "All" group view. Is there any way to Show/Hide these sub-groups with a visibility check-box? The sub-group name would still be there in the group list (to remind me that it exists and make it visible if desired), but I would have a lot less clutter and scrolling the rest of the time.
I know I can export groups in vCard format and re-import later, but a lot of my original custom fields for the contacts are lost in the process. Is there a 3rd-party plug-in? (Apple, are you working on something like this?)

Hi Mike, My Address Book app is behaving correctly (maybe I'm not).
I'm just saying there are times when I want to see "most" of my total collection of contacts, maybe just for the purpose of creating new groups at particular time and want to see at one time the pool of contacts I have to choose from. There are groups that I very seldom need to use, so it would be a way of putting those groups (and their contacts) into "cold storage."
I also may want to do searches from among most of my contacts, but also I may want to eliminate certain other particular groups from that search pool. That is the reason for wanting to do the "Show/Hide" thing. It is a way of displaying a logical "ALL" minus "SOME", which is the basically same thing as displaying the logical "UNION" of more than one group of contacts at one time. Can this be done?
Is there a way to open alternate address books, from within the same Address Book app (and logged in as the same user)? That would allow me to truly isolate my work list from my home list.
One answer to this occurs to me: I could create different log-ins on my PowerBook, and build the different variants of the Address Book I might want into each login and use Fast User Switching to get into each list of contacts. That seems like a lot of extra work . . . and logging in. Any suggestions?

Any way to show if called party is on the phone

Hello,
I have a new Call manager installed upgraded from a 3 com system. If i called someone on the 3 com system it used to say that they were on the phone. It does not do that with the cisco. Is there any way to do it?
Thanks,
Joe

Joe,
I assume you are saying on the 3com system if you called an internal user if they were on the phone an annunciator would then say to you that the user was on the phone? Or was it on your display? To my knowledge Cisco doesn't have this feature.
They do have the Call Back service. It's part of the CM extended services. High level this service notifies a user when the person they called is available again. So this does check if the user is on the phone. Here is the FAQ.

Is there any way to email a group from your iPhohe4 iOS 5?

I can create groups in my contacts list, but I have not been able to figure out how to email a specific group. I am assuming since I can create a group I should be able to email that group by typing in its name in the "to" box of my email. However, that does not work. Is there any way to do this?

Please check you contact name in the device and verify if the names does not start with none alphabetic characters (e.g. @, &, *, etc). This characters will actually stop the sync process and will not be able to successfully complete the transfer of data. Do the same thing with the contact data you have online just to be sure..
If that it still doesn't work, delete your Google account on the device, restart, and then recreate the same account.
Let me know how it goes...

Is there any way to downgrade to 3 from 4 without the shsh blob

I recently updated my itouch 2g to os4 and then found out that one of the apps I had won't run on 4. I didn't save the shsh prior to the upgrade so I'm guessing there is no way to downgrade. Does anyone know if it is possible without the shsh blob?
thanks

Alternatively, check for updates to the App. If not, contact the App's developer to ask if and when there will be an update for it that will cause it to work with iOS4.
It's odd though, that an App should stop working after an update to the Touch's firmware. You'd think the App's developer would sort that out very quickly.

After a disk crash and recovery disk reload, I'm left w/o address book. any suggestions for a recovery?

There is a discontinuity in time machine, I think it happened last week. I've used the recovery disk partition and time machine, as well as Super
Duper. The time machine full restore left addressbook and mail disfunctional. I then ran Super
duper, which recovered Mail, but not address book
Any suggestions? BTW, as far as I know, the data for address book is still in the Library, it'"s only the app that's Missing

Thanks for your reply John, but that didn't do the trick for me. I called Apple's professional audio support. Even though I didn't get the answer I wanted to hear, the support was awesome - the guy was very knowledgeable and helpful. Basically, the error I'm experiencing is a nasty one if it appears with pro apps like Logic. He indicated my only recourse was to re-install Logic. Since I'm on Logic 7, I figured if I have to re-install, might as well upgrade to Logic 8. I'm mid-project right now, so I'm pretty nervous doing that, but not much choice.

Way to unload FM group from memory

hi experts,
Is there any way to remove fm group from memory and reload it into memory mannual in the components of the fm group?
I set up a workflow and create a fm group to work for the workflow. A task in workflow calls a BO's method which calls a fm of the FMgroup for a user dialog. The user dialog screen belongs to the same fm group.
But I found in business workplace(SBWP), when the previous workitem completed , that is, the user finish his screen, the FMgroup is not removed from memory. I think it is because the calling program, the business workplace, didn't end. So I wonder is there any way to remove the fm group from memory mannaully?
thx!

In Java who unload objects of memory is the Garbaga Collection.
But we can help the G.C. doing the object eligible to be unload. For example.:
class InfoData{
class A{
public static InfoData id = new InfoData();
... do something with id ...
public void aMethod(){
id = null; //do the static object elgible to be collected by G.C. !!!
}

Is there a quick way to show/hide conditional text to create a book?

I have a set of files that represent chapters. These will be used in two books. Is there a way to show/hide conditional text from the book file rather than going into each chapter and setting show/hide for the book I want to create?

WIth the book file open and selected, select all the files in the book (Ctrl+A), and apply your condition settings. Update the book.

(IOS 7) Any way to show calendar list view in notification center instead of day view?

I updated to IOS 7 and I hoped to be able to check my schedule for the next day from the lock screen. Unfortunately at 1 AM the next few hours in the Calendar Day View in Notification Center was empty. The Today Summary just tells me when the first appointment is the next morning but not much else. Is there any way to change the calendar day view to the list view of appointments? Representing the relative times of the appointments with empty space seems like a waste. Especially when the Calendar Day View is 100% empty space and my appointments are just out of view in the wee hours of the morning.
Thanks,
Jerrill

My biggest regret in updating to IOS 7 is the calendar. I often to tap from date to date and wish to see in LIST view my events... not in a today view as mentioned by the various posts above. As someone else noted, events are hiding below the screen view and one must scroll around to see if there are other events scheduled. I'm so afraid I'm going to miss something and make a committment in error. A list view is much more desired and efficient.
Change for the sake of change...why Apple why?
I have sent mass texts and Face Book messages to friends telling them not to upgrade to IOS 7 because of the calendar disaster and variouse other changes. Such as why is the font everywhere so small and light? One needs a magnifying glass to see everything that could be seen so clearly before. I've given friends a "tour" of IOS 7 on my iPhone and after seeing it many have thanked me and opted not to upgrade. I only wish I could have been saved.

MacUpdate.com for OnyX or TinkerTool, one of those has the ability to lock the Dock so no changes occur, basically giving you what you want.

Any way to show more than two slides at a time on the secondary display?

During a presentation, is there any way to show more than two slides at a time in the secondary display? Sometimes during a presentation i have to go back to a certain slide without notice (usually no more than ten slides behind or in front of the current slide)
Thanks in advanced...

Nope. But you can jump around easily enough. Just type in the number of the slide you want (or any number, really, because you can then use the arrow keys to scroll to the correct slide), and hit return.

Yes. In Timeline mode, you add it to an upper video track as a title.

Photos do not print in Contacts (a.k.a. Address Book) when I am printing a group.

One of simple things that I have loved from the beginning with my iPhone and my iMac is that when I meet a new person, I can record their contact information in the Address Book on my iPhone and attached their photo to it. When I arrive home I am then able to sync my Contacts from my iPhone with my iMac. Then with my iMac, I am able to print an entire group from my Contacts (including all the individual information from the v-card - photos and all.) Creating a photo roster if you will. I love sharing these photo rosters (by making a PDF copy) with others.
After updating to Snow Lion is appears that function is gone! I highlight all the members in the group from my Contact, then File>Print. It list in the dialog box that I can check photos but when I do it does not show any of the photos from the Contacts in the print preview window. It is so odd because I can see their photos in my Address Book / Contacts on my iMac but I can not print them with the other information with the Contact
Please help me! I really miss this features. I have gone into preferences and I can not see what maybe causing the problem. I have never had this issue with the previous three version of OSX. I have stopped syncing my contacts with iCloud but I am still unable to print groups of members with their photos. In fact I am unable to print from my iMac any one individual contact with their photo.
Please help me. Thank you for reading my request.

Is there no one who knows how to solve this problem? It really would be a great help!

Any way to put your own zoom level in the zoom dropdown?

It turns out that on my 15.6" laptop screen a 65% zoom level is about perfect for fitting my spread in the display so that I can actually read the text in the text frames. (Double-clicking the Zoom tool puts me at a 75% zoom level but with text frames going outside my screen viewing area).
Pressing Control-Alt-0 puts me at 53.3% but with text slightly too small to read. Being stubborn, I want 65%, because then I can read all my text and fit the whole spread in the window minus the white blank area between the pink (magenta?) margins and the page trim (black border) which I don't need to see.
I know about the script method - I've already made my own keyboard shortcut for a 60% zoom level using a custom zoom60.jsx script file with a Control-Shift-1 keyboard shortcut.
Is there any way to add that 65% zoom level to the Zoom dropdown menu on the Application Bar (top of window)?
Note: You can't set a default Zoom level with no documents open because the Zoom control (dropdown at top) is greyed out - not accessible.

I found the ultimate solution to this - buy a new (business model) laptop with a better video card and screen. My top ("recommended") resolution is now 1600 x 900. The old one had a top resolution of 1366 x 768.
Pressing Control-Alt-0 to Fit Spread in Window on the old laptop gives me a 53% zoom level with fuzzy text that borders on unreadable. Pressing Control-Alt-0 on the new laptop gives me a 65% zoom level with text readable.
But, what I want is a command called: Fit Spread in Window But With A Smidgeon of White Showing Beyond The Margins. That turns out to be a 75% zoom level for me (which exists as a preset in the Zoom dropdown on the Application Bar at top of the interface), but I'll still need to do a script and map it to something like Control-Shift-1 because 75% does not result from any of the choices under the View menu. (Using Control-minus(-) and Control-plus(+) will get me to the 75% though). And, I want to get to that 75% without using the mouse.
Without getting too technical, I think working on a program like InDesign on a consumer model laptop (Acer Aspire 5535) with one of those horrible shiny screens is basically bad for your eyes. I'm now on a Lenovo Thinkpad W530 with beautiful matte screen (no glare) and text with very sharp edges.
I guess there are other solutions - like mapping Control-Alt-0 to a 75% zoom using a script to replace my current 65% zoom level.
