Is this possible? - Letting contacts update their own info

I have recently graduated from school and I am trying to keep my address book up-to-date as my friends go their seperate ways. I was wondering if any one has any suggestions or tips for keeping their address book information both current but also complete. Here is one idea I had, but I am unsure if it is even possible:
- Create a script or automation that sends out an email to a contact, whose email address I already have entered into their vCard. The script, using this address, will send this message and attach a copy of their vCard.They can then edit their own information, add their picture, phone numbers, addresses, personal info, etc. They then send the vCard back and a script updates the info.
Details may need to be altered. Still this is the basic idea. Is it possible or, even better, is their an easier way to do this? I am flexible as to how but i wanted at least tell you my idea in order to better show what I am trying to do.
Thank You,
Rob

A much easier way to accomplish this is to open—and have all of your interested contacts open—a FREE account at Plaxo. Whenever a contact updates their information, you'll receive the updated information, posted automatically in your Address Book, as long as you have installed the Plaxo plug-in for the Address Book.
You can also initiate a group update request from within the Address Book itself.
More information about Plaxo for OS X is available here:

What you're describing is possible, but you seem to be making this more difficult than it has to be. There's no reason why your friends can't just send you their vCard with this information to start with, then all you need to do is import that vCard into Address Book.
Various email clients on both Mac and Windows, as well as web email services support the vCard format.

Is there a way to let the customer update their own credit card details for site payment?

Is there a way to let the customer update their own credit card details for site payment?

Only when BC tries to bill the card and can not. Admin will be locked out and when they try to go to the admin the form requesting payment appears and they can add their new details in there.

We were unable to authorize your payment card for this purchase. Please update your billing info.

How can I let breeders update their sale pages on their own?

I am using GoLive CS and currently have interest in a site design from a few different animal breeders. I have already built and currently maintain a site for one breeder who lists her for-sale animals online, and I update the list whenever she needs it. I would like to pursue this segment of the market but would really like to find a way to allow the client to update the sales pages instantly instead of having to wait the standard "1-3 business days" for me to do it, and turning that portion of the site over to them would really streamline my process and allow me to take on more clients. I'm not a code expert, but I have a general knowledge and have designed some very functional sites.
My question is, can someone at least get me started on where to look to learn how to make this possible? I'm not even sure where to begin but I am willing to learn. I want clients to be able to add names, descriptions, and photos for each listing. I currently use GoLive CS but am itching to upgrade since it's pretty much a dinosaur at this point... so if upgrading will make this easier, feel free to suggest it. Any comments are greatly appreciated!
Here is a link to the site I currently maintain, so you have an idea of what the listings will include.

Honestly, I would use some sort of shopping cart software that you can add to your site design. I've used ecommercetemplates.com 's program in the past and loved it.

Blue background for home page but let websites set their own?

how do I make my (v11) homepage left centered for the personal picture I use and blue background color. AND still have webpages set their own background colors?

It is a new feature in Firefox 11+ to display a single image centered with an almost black background.
It is added by this stylesheet:
* resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css
You can look at this extension to set your preferred background color and remove the centering.
* Old Default Image Style: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/old-default-image-style/

Has anyone been able to link all their contacts with their Facebook info?

I just got my first iPhone and am seeing an issue: not all Facebook contacts are being synced; specifically, only 27 out of 254. I’ve been reading posts about this here, and it appears a good number of people are seeing this same problem, including a friend of mine with a 5S running iOS 7. It appears people are under the impression this is due to a change Facebook made, and that only contacts with specific info showing on their profiles will now be synced. I’ve done some testing, and it does at least appear that only Facebook contacts showing an email address on their timeline - other than their @facebook.com address – are synced to my iPhone. Thing is, Facebook contact sync works effortlessly and perfectly for all contacts both on my Windows Phone and on another friend’s old Android phone. It therefore appears this is either an Apple or an Apple combined with Facebook issue, and not a general issue with access to Facebook contact info. I’m primarily interested in fixing this so that each of my contacts show their Facebook profile photo (which also worked effortlessly and perfectly on my Windows Phone).
I’ve tried various potential solutions like adding Facebook emails to contacts, but nothing has worked so far. Has anyone been able to get this to work? If not, and this is a universal problem with iOS 7+ and Facebook, I’m surprised more people aren’t up in arms and reporting it to Apple and Facebook as something they’d like to see fixed?

I had no issues activating my iPhone 4s. I just hooked it up to my computer and it did the rest. It was pretty easy and this was my first iPhone, I had the Motorola Droid 1 before that.
Although I was experiencing problems with calls going straight to Voicemail, even though I wasn't on the internet or doing anything on the phone, so I just got off the phone with Verizon and they had me punch in numbers to reprogram the phone and that seems to have done the trick (i hope).
I don't know if the above issue happened during the initial activation or if it was just a separate fluke, but there you go. You shouldn't experience any difficulties in setting up the phones.

I should add that I got my phone in NOV and so I'm not sure if something changed in the activation process that made it faulty. I'm just reading the thread about people having issues activating the phone over the holidays.

Customers updating their own sales forecast

Hi,
Are you aware of any scenario, where I can have the customers entering their sales forecast in the BW System.
Any clues?
Thanks,
Harish

If i had to guess it is because the phone that you have only supports 2G GSM networks.
The new Sasktel network only supports phones that are 3G GSM phones(UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ pick your acronym)
I am also a Rogers customer as well and when I am leaving a coverage area my phones go from HSPA(+)/3G to EDGE(2.5G) to GRPS(2G)
When I leave a Sasktel coverage area I go from HSPA(+)/3G to no service.
I guess it doesn't make business sense for Sasktel to put in old tech and isn't it convenient that you will now have to upgrade your phone.
I live in a rural area and I am getting about 1.5 Mbps down on the new network. It is certainly faster than EVDO or 1X but the coverage isn't great right now unless you stick to the city or the highways..

I bought an ipad and i,am tryiing to synchronise mij iphone 3g vers. 4.2.1 Is this possible ? is updating of my 3g phone possible

My iphoneversion is 4.2.1. I would like to synchronise with ipad 4. Exists a higher version of the iphone 3g?

The highest version of iOS for the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1. You would not be able to use a backup from a newer iOS on an older iOS device. Also, the iPhone 3G does not support iCloud, so there is no way to sync from there either. Sorry. The closest way you could accomplish what you are looking for is to make sure everything from the 3G is synced to the computer and then sync the 2 devices to the same computer.

Client updating/changing their own form data

We've added some fields to our form for a 4th day of volunteering after many people have already signed up. We want them to be able to sign up for the added day.
Is there a way to for individuals to update their own data on their form or do we have to do it from the backside?
This is our form:
https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=OH3E-aGP4i0WAwYAhSt3BA
We added the option for Monday after 50 or so people had already signed up.
There are lots of required fields and show/hide fields within the form.
We don't want duplicates which is what would happen if I just asked people to repeat fillingout the whole form.
Any options???
Terri

Users cannot go back to the form and update their data. I would just create a new, shorter form that has only their name/email address and info about 4th day. You can then merge the data sets from the 2 forms using the email address.
Hope that makes sense and is helpful...

How can I take 3 devices off of my email account and give them their own account. We are sharing storage and need to each have our own account.

Everyone in my family has an iPhone or iPad and they are all on one email account. How do I take them off and give them their own accounts so I can have my storage back?

Have them delete the iCloud account (your email address) on their devices then let them create their own iCloud account -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436. If all of you are syncing contacts and calendars on the same iCloud account, they have to re-organise those stuffs once they have their own iCloud account. When you delete an iCloud account, it normally asks what would you do for the synced information - keep it on the iOS device or delete. If they choose to keep the synced information (e.g. Contacts and Calendars), they have to delete those thare aren't theirs or they can start from scratch by deleting the synced information from the iOS device. Hope this helps. Cheers!

Allow user to edit their own Address Book server entry

Hiya.
I'm looking for a way to let users edit their own information in the Address Book Server/Open directory. I've made sure the main group for users is in the AB Read-Write Groups group in WGM.
I've even checked the box in Server Admin that says "Allow users to edit their own contact information", but after adding the account to an address book client and authenticating as a user (For example, myself), I can't edit my own contact info anywhere that will push to the server.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks!

You'd need to write a php script or something to interface with applescript…

HT5622 Should my family share one apple id or each have their own?

Should my family share one apple id or each have their own? I want to be in control of the id and password since my kids are 10 and 12.

Personally I would give them their own ID each because you'll end up syncing all of your data onto their phones if you share one.
This way you can set individual passwords for their IDs and therefore have control so that they can't go on an itunes spending spree (if that is a concern).
As soon as you feel they can do as they please with their phones just tell them their passwords or allow them to change it. This way they can do their own thing with minimal fuss.
I hope this helps.

Now my family has 3 iPads ,all with the same Apple ID . How do I set up each iPad with its own info?

Now my family has 3 iPads, all with the same Apple ID. How do I set them up with their own info.

Hello marie196,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You do not necessarily need to restore the device to factory settings, but rather sign out of the four services that utilize your Apple ID: iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and iTunes & App Stores. Once signed out, you can sign in with a new Apple ID. For more information, see the following article:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
Additional Information: You may encounter an error regarding a 90-day limit. For information on this, see the following article:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID

Thanks,
