Mac and iPhone4 contact searches behave differently

I have ~1000 contacts. One of them has an email address beginning with "c.s". Searching my mac address book for "c.s" narrows it down to that one contact. Searching iPhone contact for "c.s" gives a list of dozens of names that start with "c" and "s". Is it treating the period as a wild card?
Related search problem: one of my contacts' email addresses starts with "diz". Searching my mac address book for "diz" narrows it down to that one contact. Searching iPhone contacts for "diz" yields nothing.
Why do the mac and iPhone searches behave differently?

"Powerpoint in fact is unable to play any video files, it can only play still images and sound files, as only these files can be embedded."
The mac version CAN play videos inside PPT right on a slide. They are linked, but they still play ON the slide. Basically anything the QT player can play, ppt can play right on the slide. I assumed PPT for windows could do this with formats OTHER than QT.
You're saying that NO VIDEO FORMAT IN EXISTANCE can play ON a slide in PPT for windows? I find that hard to believe.
I've seen many folks post here suggesting AVI works just fine and can be played right on the slide in PPT for Windows. Mpeg1 is normally 320x240 and well, honestly it looks like crap on a 1024x768 screen (and most people these days do NOT want to show a 320x240 movie at regular size on a large slide), so I stand by my comments made previously, unless someone can post that they tested an AVI and PTT for windows actually bumps you OUT of ppt and into a player (full screen or not). I just can't imagine that's what it's doing. QT on the other hand, is pretty much broken except in the way you described, playing it in the QT player, which is why no one wants to do that.

  • How to sync both on my mac and icloud contacts

    Why do I have calendars and contacts for both "On my Mac" and "iCloud"?  I want them to sync together so I don't have to edit both.  How do I go about syncing them as one?

    On my mac calendars are intended to be private calendars that aren't synced, if you merely want all your calendars synced delete any calendars that are on my mac (or just uncheck them to hide them - make your default calendar an iCloud calendar) and just use iCloud calendars.
    If you have any appointments in your on my mac calendars, double click them to edit and change the calendar to an iCloud calendar before deleting or hiding.

  • .Mac and iPhone Contact Error

    Hello all,
    I have a .mac account, three macs, and an iPhone. I have successful sync'd my iphone with my work computer (PeeCee) and outlook. So have been able to migrate my work contacts to one of my macs. Since my contacts list has changed dramatically, syncing them with my other macs will not work. I select replace, and I am contantly getting ".Mac Sync Error: An inconsistency detected on .Mac for your contacts data preventing your sync from completing! You should consider resetting .Mac from a computer with good data." Then I have reset the data from the 'good' computer, but it doesnt help at all. Same issue on all the other computers.
    Suggestions? Thanks in Advance

    I know this seems a bit harsh, but as I'm sure you've experienced, nothing else worked. Go into your User Library Folder -> Application Support and Delete the SyncServices Folder. I don't know if it messes up anything else, but it fixed this issue for me.

  • Contacts - data sync anomalies between Mac and iPhone4

    Hi does anybody know definitively what fields are transferred from a Mac to an iPhone? It seems the iPhone does not support some of the fields that you might have filled in on the Mac. I've read of others having issues but there seems to be differing accounts of what comes over and what doesn't. Some say addresses don't come over,- they do for me but the fields where you can type names don't.
    thanks
    Simon

     I am having the exact same problem as above.  Except that my Mac OS is more recent: 10.5.6 Leopard....
    Please help!
    Thanks

  • When I send an email my contacts are changed in my Address Book on both my Mac and  iPhone4.

    All my contacts are entered only in the first name space. ie John Smith is entered as John Smith in just the first name entry space - I don't use the last name space at all. When I send an email, that person's address gets changed immediately my address book which duplicates the first name into the last name space. I have tried deleting all my contacts and resynching them from my iPhone but the problem persists. Can anyone help me fix this?
    I am running an iMac with Lion and my mail client is Mail. My ISP is gmail.

    Double check your contacts email, and if its incorrect, go to their contact and change it and save it or you can delete the email you put in, and manually type it in.
    Hope this helps.
    How would that help the original poster?

  • How can I replace my Mac and iCloud contacts with the ones in my iPhone?

    I have a new iPhone (iOS 6) and have edited, added, linked and deleted some of my contacts. How can I have THAT list replace all of the other contact lists in the rest of my devices?

    If you are using iCloud on iPhone and Mac, that must be already done. If not, you have to setup iCloud on both devices with the same Apple ID.
    Before you try anything, download an app like "Contacts kit" or "My Contacts Backup" to your iPhone and make a backup of your list and send it via email to yourself.

  • Want to sync iPhone4s contacts to a different iCloud account

    The current iPhone4s has about 500 contacts and is being synced to xyz-at-icloud.com
    Not sure who changed the email account but it had to be synced to abc-at-gmail.com iCloud account
    Standard problem - unable to recover password of xyz-at-icloud.com but we have the password for abc-at-gmail.com
    Question: On the iPhone4s if we change the iCloud account from xyz-at-icloud.com to abc-at-gmail.com will the 500 Contacts on iPhone4s get backedup on abc-at-gmail.com iCloud account?
    I am afraid if I change the email id the accounts on iPhone4s may get deleted and it may download the contacts from abc-at-gmail.com iCloud account. We don't want that to happen, can't afford to lose the 500 accounts
    I do understand if the contacts of iPhone4s get copied to abc-at-gmail.com iCloud account there could be duplicates, that's ok, will manually delete the duplicates
    Any help appreciated

    Call Apple support.

  • HT1727 I bought music on line using my on older mac and my account name is different. What do I do

    I bought this music almost 10 years ago and the apple account is an aolder account and i dont have the password and I put in my birthday as a security question, but it says that is wrong, but I know my own darn birthday know what?

    Do you still have access to the account's email account : http://iforgot.apple.com ?
    If not then you could try contacting Support in your country and see if they can get you access to that account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • Help transferring contacts from iPhone4 5.01 to Mac without duplicating contacts on either or both lists

    When I connect my iPhone running 5.01 to my mac vie iTunes, and transfer contacts, it always duplicates the contacts when synching.
    So if I have a single John Doe entry on both my iPhone and Mac, I now get two.
    Sometimes it will make 3 or 4 copies.
    I want to:
    copy my contact list from my iPhone TO my Mac, and update existing entries on my mac, and add new ones that are on my iPhone and not on the Mac, and
    transfer contacts from Mac to iPhone that are new to the iPhone
    Basically, I have to separate contact lists that I dont want to mix or mesh entirely, and I also want to stop them from duplicating.
    The User Manual does not address keeping them from duplicating.
    Thanks in advance

    Well, there appears to be NO way to get it to stop doing what its doing.
    I have one contact list on my iPhone.
    I have a different list on my MacBook pro.
    When I connect to update items on my phone via iTunes, I back up the iPhone.
    I did my update, and then restored from the backup. That brought back in my iPhone contact list.
    However, when I go to put my apps and music, books, etc back on my phone from iTunes on my Mac, I either have to bring my contact list off my mac over and it adds entries to the iphone contact list, or I choose not to sync contacts, and it erases them altogether.
    If someone has a suggestion how I can keep my original iPhone contact list on my iphone, without having itunes either wipe it or add unwanted entries from my macbook pro, I'd appreciate it!

  • Syncing Google Gmail Contacts with Address Book and iPhone Contacts

    Can anyone recommend a good way to sync Google Gmail Contacts with the Address Book on the Mac and with Contacts on the iPhone?
    I tried using ABGMerge, but could not get it to work so and am looking for other options. Thanks.

    The Plaxo 3 non-pubic beta application currently supports only Mozilla and FireFox 1.5 and Internet Explorer 6. Safari support, and support for updated OS X thrid-party browsers, has not yet been released. To say that there are some anomalies and visual artifacts with Safari 2, would be an understatement. But, then, I often find this to be the case with beta—particularly, pre-public beta, software.
    The current release—build 356—supports these 'sync points:'
    • Mac OS X through a System Preferences pane
    • AOL and AIM
    • LinkedIn
    • mobile access
    • MSN and WIndows Live
    • Outlook
    • Outlook Express
    • Windows Mail
    • Yahoo
    It does not yet support Google. Or, not yet reliably or completely. The little 'hippo' that pops up periodically in the beta says, "Google Calendar Sync has been temporarily disabled. We are working diligently to resolve the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience."
    The verdict at the moment: contact synchronization performs as it always has with Plaxo. Calendar synchronization is clearly not yet ready for prime-time, even to the Plaxo 3 web interface itself.

  • .mac and .me email duplication

    I just got a 3Gs/16g and freakin' love this thing. I'm having a problem where when I get an email sent to me using my .mac address, and I reply to all, my iPhone is cc'ing my .me address to my replies. So unless I manually delete the .me address, I'm always being copied onto my own replies. My phone is set up with the .me address as my default account, and the "always bcc myself" is turned off.
    I've played around with this behavior and my iMac, iBook and .me web mail app all handle the situation correctly by not seeing the .mac and .me address as two different accounts and copying myself to replies to all. It only happens on the iPhone. And if I'm emailed using my .me instead of the .mac address, this problem does not occur.
    Any insight as to what I can do to prevent this is much appreciated.

  • Thread is behaving differently on different machines??

    Hi
    I am developing a Java Swing application, which launches an external exe.
    Then I am using a Thread to monitor whether the launched exe is running or terminated abruptly by using its PID. If it terminates then the thread shows a msg box.
    Everything works fine in my machine and in few other machines.
    But the same thread stop abruptly on some other machines... and displays the msg box even though the exe is running correctly.
    And I heard thread behaves differently on different CPUs'.
    How to handle this situation??
    Please help.
    This is my code:
    public class SolverPoller implements Runnable
            String solver = null;
            int PID;
             * Constructor to initialise the Thread
             * @param programName - Solver execuatable name
             * @param pid - Process ID of the running solver
            SolverPoller(String programName, int pid)
                solver = programName;
                PID = pid;
                //reset the blnClosedAbruptly
                blnClosedAbruptly = false;
            public void run()
                File deleteFile = null;
                try
                    //if the stored PID and refreshed are same
                    //Continue waiting
                    while(checkPIDOfSolver(String.valueOf(PID), solver))
                        //sleep for a sec
                        Thread.sleep(1000);
                    //When the solver process terminates
                    //interrupt ProgressBarIncrementer Thread
                    inc.interrupt();
                    if(Delia.getProcessorType() == 'T')
                        deleteFile = new File("TIP3DSolver.res");
                    else if(Delia.getProcessorType() == 'S')
                        deleteFile = new File("SPLITVISSolver.res");
                    if(!deleteFile.exists())
                        //set it to true, indicating solver terminated abruptly
                        blnClosedAbruptly = true;
                        progressBar.setValue(0);
                        progressBar.setStringPainted(true);
                        progressBar.setString("0%");
                        progressBar.repaint();
                        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(DentonIntegratedToolApp.getDentonInstance().getFrame().getContentPane(), "Solver terminated abruptly!", "Solver Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
                catch(InterruptedException ie)
                catch(Exception e)
                finally
                    deleteFile = null;
        }Praveen

    I'm not sure if this matters, but it appears that you are calling Swing methods off of the EDT beginning with "progressBar.setValue(0);". What happens if you wrap those calls in a Runnable and call them with SwingUtilities.invokeLater(...)?

    you can try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait fro the phone to boot back up.

  • Why my iPhone contacts, in groups, shows "my Mac" and "iCloud"?

    I had configured both my iPhone and my Mac Mini to sync with iCloud. But in both contacts, there are two main groups: The first one is "From My Mac" and the second one is "iCloud". All groups that i created (friends, family, work, etc...) appears to be a sub-group from "iCloud". It´s two different lists, but some contacts are in both lists. I want to have just one main group, iCloud, and have all my gadgets syncing with it, but I didn´t find any way to merge the contacts in just one list. What can I do?
    By the way, I tried the tool to merge duplicated contacts in the Mac Mini contacts, but when I do that, appears a message telling me that can´t merge the contacts because they are in diferent groups.

    I forgot to say: when I used the tool to find duplicated contacts in my Mac, it didn´t find the contacts that are in both groups.

    It is almost as if the program does not exist on my computer. If I search for it, the only thing that comes up is the installer. I cannot find it anywhere despite the fact I have installed it numerous times, uninstalled it and conducted a fresh install, and the Adobe website checks says that it is installed.
