Is there a way to hide selected contacts

Palm used to offer a a Contact feature where one could 'hide' or set a contact as 'Private'. These contacts were then only visible when a password was input. Does Apple offer something similar?

Apple doesn't but maybe an app does. Search through the contact apps to see if one offers that feature.

Is there a way to hide some reports based on the selected values in prompt.

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to hide some reports based on the selected values in prompt.
For ex. if a year is selected in the prompt then the report should display year wise report.
If a year and half year both are selected in the drop down from prompt section then 2 reports should come.. One for year wise and another for half year wise.Kindly look into this.
Regards
Ashish

Hi,
Use presentation values in prompts for year,half,qtr and month.Example- For year-y is presentation variable in the same way for halfyear-h,qtr-q and month-m.
create four intermediate reports.Example-Report r1 with only year column,r2 with only halfyear column,r3 with qtr column and r4 with month column.
Make column in each report(r1,r2,r3,r4) is equal to their presentation variables(y,h,q,m).
Use four sections.
Section1-Place report that should come when only year.
section2-Place report that should come for year and halfyear.
Section3-Place report that should come for year,halfyear and qtr.
Section4-Place report that should come for year,halfyear,qtr and month.
Apply guided navigation for each section selecting guided navigation-
For section1-
properties->Guided navigation->check this Reference Source Request(Yes)->select report r1(year)->check this Show Section(if request returns row)
In the same way do for remaining section2(select r2),section3(select r3) and section4(select r4)
Thanks,

Is there any way to hide unread count on Mail for junk or trash folders?

I have a ton of junk messages and messages in my trash folder, and I really don't care to see the unread count (I know, I'm being picky.) I can't find a way to hide the unread count for these folders and it's annoying to right click and select "mark all as read". Is there any way to hide the count automatically, or a filter I can set up? I know that you can adjust what unread count shows up on the dock, but I'm talking about the Mail program itself. Ideas? Thanks in advance, y'all!

This is the action that I'm talking about. I set certain Gmail folders to be used for these 4 options. I would like to release those folders from their respective duties.

Is there a way to hide the reading pane in iPad mail after a message is read?

Is there a way to hide the reading pane in iPad mail after a message is read?

Selecting a different email will change what is displayed. Tapping the Home button will take you back to the Home screens. Tapping the power button on the top of the iPad will put it to sleep. Those are pretty much your options.

Is there a way to retrieve my contacts back into my 3G iPhone?

Is there a way to retrieve my contacts back into my 3G iPhone?
I was trying to save my contacts by importing my contacts to my sim card by going into settings, mail-contacts and then hit the Import SIM Contacts.
It wiped out ALL of my contacts and I'm freaking out!!
Can anyone please help?
Ps. My contacts was the ONLY data NOT sync'd to my iTunes! =(

You can import TO a SIM. To import, if you look at the button in settings says Import SIM Contacts. That means it is importing, or moving the contacts FROM the SIM to the iPhone. Importing means to take something from the area you are selecting and moving it to the current area, in other words, as others have told you, you imported what was ON the SIM card and since the iPhone does not store ANY information on the SIM, you imported NOTHING to a place that had something.
The way you save and backup contacts on an iPhone is to sync them through iTunes to a supported application on a computer such as Address Book on a Mac, Outlook or Windows Contacts on a Windows machine. If you did not do that prior to the Import attempt, then you will not be able to recover them.

Is there a way to hide buddy icon/picture in messages? [In the left section that lists all chats]

Is there a way to hide buddy avatars/pictures from Messages? I don't mean in a the chat window, but in the left section that lists all active conversations. I don't really use pictures with contacts, so all I see are gray faces.
Using Messages 8.0 on Mavericks.

Hi,
The answer is No.
Whilst the App can also use Buddy list (See Window Menu) for accounts which use AIM, Jabber or Yahoo an important part of these is the Buddy Pic.
By default Messages in the iMessages account will send the My Card pic from the Contacts app for yourself.
(if you have Buddy Lists and change the pic for them, then it will send that pic)
Also if you drag the side bar in the Chat (main Messages window) to it's smallest setting (move the divider to the left) you are left with just the Sender's pic (or lack of it) in square spot that has no version of the last iMessages sent.

How do I back up Contacts on my iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way I export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

How do I back up Contacts on my iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way Ican export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
Before syncing contacts with an empty Windows Contacts address book, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data which you want to select. Syncing direct with Windows Contacts via the iTunes sync process is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

Is there a way to hide an iMessage conversation without deleting it?

Is there a way to hide an iMessage conversation without deleting it?
I recently went through a breakup and would like to not see my ex's face and messages every time I pull iMessage up, but I also don't want to delete them. I have the most up to date versions of iMessage on my Macbook Pro and iPhone 5C as of this post (10-5-14)

Hi,
iMessages account on the Mac (in the Messages app) stores the iMessages in a Chat.db item
IF you dismiss a conversation from view (mouse over it and use the x that appears) the chat.db will supply the "History" if and when you contact that person again.
However it is worthwhile also creating a back up of some sort.
As well as Time Machine it can also help to highlight the whole Chat (work from the most recent end to the "top" of the conversation to highlight it all.
You can then Print and Save as PDF.
You can back up your iPhone in iTunes.
These can be used to Restore the iPhone back to that time. (you do lose all new things added since the Backup was made.)
There are various tools out there to extract info from iTunes Backups of iOS devices, which might help.
Of course the Messages app on the Mac also has a Settings for Saving on close. (it will Save if you dismiss the chat/Conversation and when the app is closed/Quit)
Over and extended conversation or chat that lasts days or months each Session on the computer is Saved.
Again you can dismiss the chat/conversation form view as you have saved versions (in parts) of the conversation.
(You cannot Save a chat or conversation in Retrospect.)

Is there any way to sync my contacts on my ipod touch to Microsoft Outlook?

Is there any way to sync my contacts on my ipod touch to microsoft outlook using the push service from Mobile Me? Or any other mode of transferring?

Sure. Install the latest version of iTunes on your PC, and just connect your iPod Touch to it, decline the prompt to autosync (the warning about losing your music), then go into the info tab, select sync contacts, and click apply. Your contacts will be transferred (both directions, i.e. the outlook contacts and your IPT contacts will be merged and the combined set will be present on both lists).
Hope this helps...

Is there any way to copy your contacts to the sim?

Hey! i just wanted to ask if theres any way to transfer iPhone contacts to your sim so that u can use the sim in another phone with contacts in it?

iOS would create two entries if a single contact has two numbers, one for each. Like all other phones do.
Numbers disgarded will be determined by alphabetical order. Like they would for every phone that also has this limitation privided they selected the industry standard Copy All option. Otherwise they can pick and choose from their contact list which ones they want to copy if they have more than the maximum allowed phone numbers that can be stored on a sim card. Which is also an industry standard option.
Average consumers will have to learn how sim card storage works via google for instance or opening the manual instructions on the iPhone or by speaking to their carrier who are more than happy to explain to the customer that by putting the contacts on their sim card they can use their servers to push these numbers to a new sim in the event their current one becomes faulty for whatever reason and they decided to get another manufacturers phone as a consequence.
He/she will think "Well, atleast I managed to keep whopping huge 500 phone numbers. Saved myself a few hours there."
Next question?
PS. Apart from facebook fanatics who don't actually know 90% of the people they friended, do you know anyone with more than 500 phone numbers? Like most I know alot of people, and like a lot of other people I work for a pretty big company and have a company phone... I haven't managed to hit that magic number yet on either of the phones and I can't think of anyone who I know that has. No doubt there might be people out there with more than 500 phone numbers in their contact list but then they find themselves in the same boat as every other person on the entire planet that uses these sim cards in a commerically available phone.
They haven't lost out on anything by gaining this feature by not being able to create an exact replica of the iPhone Contact list, but they will gain something by seeing it introduced because I am willing to say that the iPhone is the only smartphone/mobilephone on the market within the last decade missing this feature.
I would also like to point out that out of all the topics created in this section of the forum within the last 24 hours this is one of the most viewed by visitors and thus this question has stoked interest in knowing how to get this feature working... except they learnt harshly that it doesn't exist on their phone. I would imagine there were a couple of "Eh?!" moments when they found that out. As for what they thought when they saw someone doing everything he could to stop it from coming to iPhone, I cannot say. Because like them I cannot understand why such a feature would be so vigorously opposed, especial;ly when that sim contact list can be transferred between different carriers when using a PAC code to transfer your old number to a new contract with a different company.

HT4356 Is there a way to print a contact list from an iPhone?

Is there a way to print a contact list from an iPhone?

Another way to do this is to use Contact Sheet (https://itunes.apple.com/app/id894488957?mt=8) which can print your contacts and pictures or it can export them into an Excel file. You can print all of your contacts or just a select group that you choose. You can even share contacts and only include the fields you want, so, for example, if you want to share email addresses with a new mom's group but you don't want to share home addresses, you can create a contact share file (VCF) that only includes the names and email addresses of the members of your new mom's group!

Without syncing my iphone, is there a way to delete duplicate contacts without going one by one?

Without syncing my iPhone, is there a way to delete duplicate contacts without going one by one?

So the answer to the first question is yes, and the answer to my 2nd question is no?
You selected which email account under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and this means you are not syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer?

Is there a way to hide apps from the app store? I don't want my kids to see those "free" apps that nag you to spend real money and download their other apps! I can hide them from "purchased apps", but they still show up when browsing for new apps!

Is there a way to hide them so that my kids will never see them when looking for new apps?

Not other than parental oversight. On the computer you can implement Parental Controls on a separate user account that they would use. You can then block certain websites. But you cannot do that on the iPad.
You could change your iTunes account such that they cannot access it in order to buy or download apps.

2 iPhones 1 computer – Is there any way to have separate contact list

My wife and I recently purchased 2 iPhones (One for each of us). We are presently sharing an iBook G4. Is there any way to have separate contact list and separate calendars on the computer? We both use our phones for our individual work, and have different contact. I am trying to move us from pc to mac. I have a newer pc (compared to the G4) that I can hook the phones up too, but as I said I am trying to move away from PC's. We purchased the G4 used from a friend to get started and learn mac. Sorry for the long explanation I just wanted you to know that I am new to mac.

Just set-up 2 user accounts on the computer, then you effectively have 2 computers in one. All your phone data, and everything else (internet bookmarks, desktop preferences, application preferences) etc. are completely separate.
You and your wife can then use the computer in exactly the way you both prefer without affecting the other.
You didn't say what version of Mac OS X you are using, so here are the instructions for:
10.4.x: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh168.html
10.5.x: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
You can then use *Fast User Switching* to switch between the accounts:
