Linking contacts and the changing info deletes the contact!

I wish there was a separate Discussion for Addressbook and Apple Mail because this post is about Addressbook / Contacts and there's no where to properly post, so the best I can do is post here since the issue happened on my iPad Air's Contacts. I've sent Feedback, but in the meantime ...
I never noticed Linking contacts for some reason until today when adding a new contact using the Create New Conact feature.
After creating, I noticed I could link her to related other contacts in my Contact database and did.
I then saw that in addition the linked contact names now being listed under LINKED CONTACTS which link to their Contact page, very cool, data from these linked contacts was posted into fields of the new contact such as Phone numbers, email and Notes, basically merging a lot of data without any proper labels. Meaning, the first linked contact's phone became the mobile phone under my new contact. Her home phone was a phone from the 2nd contact I linked to her. Each added linked contact's email now showed as an email for her, the new contact. I linked 5 people ans now had 6 emails and phones all mislabeled
I didn't want a merge of data even if labeled well, all I wanted was a list of linked contacts at the bottom of this new contact's page.
So I manually deleted the phone numbers hoping the list of contacts would remain.
BEWARE when you delete a phone number from within a linked contact it deletes the number in the original record AND deletes the contact from your Contacts, although these linked Contacts still exist in iCloud, but without their phones :(
This may be a setting issue I can fix, but it was new and seemed intuitive until I deleted the phones. An alert "Are you sure...) seems like a reasonable safe guard for such dramatic result. I lost 5 phones and these were all new contacts from my new job I started this week.
Yes I'm sending this to Feedback.
(You can link contacts when in Edit mode).

I just updated FF to 14.0.1 (Mac 10.6.8) and now netflix won't work. It's asking to restart in 32 bit mode and I changed it in the Get Info to 32 bit. No luck.

Try downloading the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight for Mac [http://microsoft-silverlight-mac.en.softonic.com/mac link text]. I just did this, and was able to play Netflix's streaming again--and without that "restart in 32-bit mode" button even appearing!

This process does not appear to work for me. I'm running 10.8.3. I created a new user for a guest staying with me. They have gone now and I am attempting to either change the password or delete the user. It won't allow me to choose the user I created. I am logged in as myself and it states that I am an "Admin". The user I'm attempting to change is listed as a "standard" user and there is a white checkmark inside an orange circular background on the user pic in the list of users.
Can someone help me? I am having a hard time believing that OSx will allow me to create users and allow them use of my computer and it's drives, yet it will not allow me to change the password so I can monitor what they might have been doing while logged on? What if this were my child? This guest left under sketchy circumstances, and I'd really like to be able to ensure they were not using my computer to do illegal things or to have illegal communications.
Any help would be appreciated. (It's odd that it was so simple to "create" a user and set a password for them.......but it's complicated or a little known process to reverse.
Thanks.

Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing. The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as). The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue). However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens. It will not change to highlight that user.

Bought a new iphone and i cant activate it unless the previous owner deletes the account from their icloud but i lost contact with the previous owner how can i fix this?

Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

I think it's a virus or a corruption? Can anyone tell me or help me and let me know what I'm dealing with here or wether I'm mistaken and should leave it alone?
I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Matt

Why do you want to delete those? What have you done so far to do that?
I doubt that Mac has a virus. On the other hand, your attempts to deleted those folders may have caused corruption.
Two other comments:
1) Is there a reason that Mac hasn't been updated to OS X 10.5.8?
2) You've been misled by the poor field labeling on this Web site into trying to type your entire post into the "subject" field. In the future, just put a short summary of your post into that field.

Simply turn off the iPhone for about 60 seconds, and see if they reappear. If not, I would call Apple Care at 800-676-2775.

I can't sync my contacts, calendar, etc on my MAC to my new Iphone5s, the icon "info" in the iTunes isn't showing-

I just bought a new iphone 5s to replace my "old" but well loved Iphone4, as i synchronise it with my MAC "everything" went well, except, the icon "info" in the menu bar of my itunes is not been displaid, so i can not download my CONTACTS and CALENDARS, ETC to the new phone. Please can "someone" help me"
Thank you!

Sorry for bashing on about this. Just called Apple at 1.800.694.7466 and they told me the issue isn't with Mavericks per se but with iTunes 11.1.5.
According the helpful woman I spoke to, no one at Apple knows why Apple decided to remove the ability to sync everything via USB. She hears complaints about the change and knows it makes life difficult for folks.
She also recommended, as you did, to contact www.apple.com/feedback about the change. She says Apple does in fact have a group of people who do read the comments.
Whenever we talk about iTunes, it's assumed we are referring to the most current version, unless otherwise specified.

Hi 7oaksGaz,
1) Due to tax reasons, it's not possible to change the country associated with an existing Adobe ID.
Follow the steps mentioned in the below link as a workaround to create an Adobe ID with the email address you currently use for the existing Adobe ID.

How to track the user who deleted the info object.

Dear Gurus,
In our BI system one info object has got deleted. If I need to track the user who has deleted that how can I track it(in which DBtable). And the complication is one user ID is being used by many people, in this case how can I track that from which machine the Info Object has been deleted(if there is any possibility to track the machines by IP address).
Kindly let me know if there is any procedure to find it out. Your help will be rewarded with a great honour.
Regards
Mohan Kumar

Hi dear,
you have to go in SLG1 transaction, and then select
Object: RSD
Subobject: IOBJ_DEL
External ID: (put here the name of your deleted IO)
Then choose a time range...and voilà, you can find the user who deleted the IO...
Hope it helps!
Bye,
Roberto
About the IP...look at USR41 table, but I think it's a bit difficult fo find data referred to the past...

Project deleted in iPhoto 11 ver. 9.1.1
After spending three months building a twenty six page Book Project in iPhoto i added a page and later decided to delete the page. I selected the page, pressed the delete key and confirmed the delete dialog box ( i didn't read, dummy) by pressing the delete button. The whole project was gone, the undo menu was grayed out and there was nothing in the iPhoto trash about my Book.
Surly I can find this if I knew the path to find the project in a library on a back column I have of my hard drive.. Could anyone help me?

Sorry I'm having a hard time getting this.
If I go to my hard drive BIGMAC>Library>Application Support>iPhoto>the only thing in this folder is Themes.
However, when I "Get Info" it's 580MB for 24,421 items. iPhoto says I have 35,977 photos. I would think the database would be into the GB for this many photos.
If I go to BIGMAC>system>Library>I find nothing about iPhoto
Is the iPhoto file in the Application Support the one I need to replace with my backup?
Thanks so much for your help.
Jack

I am not able to display or change the file after deleting the file

Hi All,
I am checking in the document to content category while creating the DIR.
I tried to delete the file on my desktop and after i am unable to open the file in CV02N,It gives the below error:
Error while executing "C:\
Firdosi\Desktop\gg.txt"
I changed the settings in define workstation applications also and i ticked on Data check of.
Please advice.
Muzamil

Hi Muzamil,
The error is occuring because you have not checked-in the document before deleting. First you need to save the DIR and then you can delete the file from your desktop. Then only SAP DMS can retrieve the file from content server and display on screen.
If you have only selected the file which is not checked-in means DIR not saved. And suddenly you tried to delete the original file from desktop. It means the recod is not saved in SAP DMS and before that you have tried to delete it.
This is standard behaviour and such type of files can't be retrieved from content serever as it's original is not saved properly i.e. checked-in.
Hope this will resolve the query.

Ravindra

I have 2 different iCloud accounts and would like to delete the account where I have purchased paid for extra iCloud data storage. Can I transfer this additional storage over to my other account?

I have 2 different iCloud accounts and would like to delete the account where I have paid for extra iCloud data storage. Can I transfer the data storage over to my other account? I am trying to get my iCloud and Apple account with same user name.

You'll have to contact Apple about that.
Their iCloud support page indicates you cannot merge or transfer iCloud accounts.
What do you mean by, I am trying to get my iCloud and Apple account with same user name.

Can we use idoc technique to change or delete the vendor master data?

Hi,gurus,
Can we use idoc technique to change or delete the vendor master data?You know we can create vendor data using idoc CREMAS03 as the receiver adapter,but when change or delete the specified vendor data,must we use RFC adapter technique?
Another question:I found the bapi which creates a vendor master data doesn't have the parameter account group,then we turned to idoc technique.But which adapter should I use when change or delete the vendor data?
Thanks in advance.
