My iMac address book is different from the iCloud address book. Why

My iCloud address book and the addresses on my iPhones and iPads and a second are different from the address book on my iMac. My computer seems complete, the others are missing addresses which appear in my iMac addresses. How can I get the iCloud addresses to synch with my iMac address book?

First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

To set it up as POP you need to delete the account, reboot the phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds), then add it back following these instructions: Forcing creation of a POP or IMAP email account
I understand that you have used the same account for many years, but the technology is also changing constantly. Years ago the standard was POP (Post Office Protocol), which was designed at a time when it was inconceivable that anyone would access their email from more than one device. When people started using multiple devices, for the most part they wanted to see changes on one device mirrored on another. A new standard, IMAP (Internet Mail Access Protocol) was developed. With iMAP the master copy of all messages resides on a server, and multiple devices are kept in sync with the server. So if you delete a message from one device it is removed from the server, and then removed from all other devices when they next sync. This is the same way Microsoft Exchange works. Other benefits of IMAP include the ability to have multiple mail folders that are kept in sync across devices. In your case you could use this to create a separate folder for each family member, so they could move messages to their own folder and not clutter up the shared Inbox. Most computer mail readers can even automatically sort incoming mail into folders based on the contents of the message.
IMAP is considered a "higher level" standard than POP. When you create a mail account iOS devices query the server and ask what it supports; if it says it supports IMAP then the account is automatically configured for IMAP. So if you really want POP you must fool it, as described in the link above. In my experience Android devices default to the highest level protocol also, and I suspect newer Blackberries do (although it has been 15 years since I used a BB).

I was having ios 4.3 and decided to upgrade to ios 5 and in doing so I lost all my apps despite I restored from my earlier back up. The itunes I've backed up is different from the itunes I have used to upgrade-..

I was having ios 4.3 and decided to upgrade to ios 5 and in doing so I lost all my apps despite I restored from my earlier back up. The itunes I’ve backed up is different from the itunes I have used to upgrade….. I was wondering if I can get back my apps that were purchased using different apple ID (not mine). Since I am in Ethiopia doesn’t even have the chance to buy it again. I have searched it in my computer/c/user/adminstrator….but couldn’t find it. Anyone p/l help

When I updated my iPhone to IOS 5, I did it from my MB Air, when my iPhone's "home" is my work 27" iMac. I figured I could just download the new OS at home where internet is fast and then sync at office and be done.
WRONG!!! So, like others here, all my apps were "gone."
Following some of what I read above, I did the following and now all my apps that I purchased in the past are downloading to my 27".
In iTunes I went to Purchased, under "Store" in left column of iTunes.
Then at the bottom of the Purchased screen was something like Download all apps, borrom right (sorry, cant see it now, its downloading all of them). Once I hit that, I could see all my apps and it looks like they are all coming back.
Now all I have to do is put them all like I had them before, folders, etc. That will be a pain BUT at least I have all of them.

Wifi has suddenly stopped working. There is an exclamation mark which takes me to network diagnostics. This asks me for network name and password. This is different from the startup wizard which only asked for a WEP key and modem name. What to do?

My wifi has suddenly stopped working on my iMac, after working fine for almost a year. There is an exclamation mark on the wifi bars and when I click it, it takes me to a network diagnostics page. This page asks me for my username and password for the wifi, which I don't have. It is different from the WEP key and modem name, which I originally used to set up my connection. I have not experienced any problems on all my other wifi-enabled devices. Ipod touch, iPad, MacBook all work fine. What should I do?

The name is the name of the network you created on the router. The password is the WEP password. You shouldn't be using WEP at all, as it's insecure and also seems to cause connection failures. Use WPA 2 Personal. If your router doesn't support it, get a new one.

I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo. It now shows in information, that the date is created and modified is different from the original digitized date. How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

Can anybody help me in finding the reasons why the time of email received are different from the one on my macbook which time is correct

Hi
Can anyone help me in finding the reason why the date on e=mail reced is different from the one on my MacBook eventhough it is correct
Thanks

Try this...
Triple click anywhere in the line below to select it and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
cmd /k netsh winsock reset
Press the WinLogoKey+R to open the run dialog, then Ctrl+V to paste, then press enter/return.
You should get something similar to this:
Reboot the computer and the problem should be resolved.
If it doesn't work then perhaps a full tear down and rebuild of iTunes will fix things. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details.

How can i AppendText to richTextBox only if the text is new(different) from the text that is already in the richTextBox ?

Code
public void ScrollNews()
listsext.Ext(page);
combindedString = string.Join(Environment.NewLine, ListsExtractions.myList);
richTextBox1.SelectAll();
richTextBox1.SelectionAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;
richTextBox1.AppendText(combindedString);
scrollerText = string.Join(Environment.NewLine, ListsExtractions.myListWithoutLinks);
scroller1.TextToScroll = scrollerText;
if (NewsLevels.newsLevel && NewsLevels.shouldStart)
UpdateTextControls();
scroller1.Start();
NewsLevels.shouldStart = false;
if (NewsLevels.newsLevel == false && NewsLevels.shouldStart)
UpdateTextControls();
scroller1.Start();
NewsLevels.shouldStart = false;
string[] rlines = richTextBox1.Lines;
richTextBox1.SelectionStart = 0;
richTextBox1.SelectionLength = rlines[0].Length;
richTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Red;
richTextBox1.Select(rlines[0].Length, rlines[1].Length + 1);
richTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Green;
RedColorAlert1();
if (lines == null)
label5.Text = "0";
else
label5.Text = lines.Length.ToString();
The line is:
richTextBox1.AppendText(combindedString);
I'm calling this method ScrollNews every X minutes with a timer.
The way it is now it will AppendText all the time. But i want it to Add the combinededString only if the text in combindedString was different from the text that is already in the richTextBox. Somhow to keep all the time the last text and compare it and
if there is a new text then appen it.

public void Scroll()
listsext.Ext(page);
combindedString = string.Join(Environment.NewLine, ListsExtractions.myList);
richTextBox1.SelectAll();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append(combindedString);
richTextBox1.SelectionAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;
richTextBox1.AppendText(combindedString);
The problem is that now it will keep adding to the richTextBox the content in combindedString over and over again. I need somehow to check each time if the content in combindedString already exist in the richTextBox if not meaning it's new content then AppendText
it.
If it's the same already exist do nothing don't add it.
EDIT
I write to a text file the content of the ombindedString variable .The first content the lines is the combindedString:

And this is a screenshot i couldnt copy the text of the richTextBox1.Text
richTextBox1.Text content image
co uld be that the format of the text in the combindedString and the richTextBox1.Text looks different so it think it's not exist ?
Update:
Not sure if it's important but the combindedString i'm adding the text to it from the variable ListExtractions.myList
myList is List and i build this List like that:
private void ListToStringList(List<string> myl)
for (int i = 0; i < AllNews.Count; i++)
myl.Add(AllNews[i].text);
IFormatProvider provider = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture;
DateTime myTime = DateTime.ParseExact(AllNews[i].original_time, "DyyMMddTHHmm", provider);
string results = myTime.ToString("HH:mm דווח במקור בתאריך : dd.MM.yy : שעה");
myl.Add(results);
myl.Add(AllNews[i].link);
myl.Add(Environment.NewLine);
myListWithoutLinks.Add(AllNews[i].text);
myListWithoutLinks.Add(results);
myListWithoutLinks.Add(Environment.NewLine);
for (int i = 0; i < myl.Count; i++)
myl[i] = Regex.Replace(myl[i], @"\t|\n|\r", "");
And use it:
ListToStringList(myList);

Why does Photoshop display colors differently from the other applications even in sRGB mode ?

Hello all !
Here is my problem :
Photoshop is set to use sRGB workspace (in edit/colors.../workspace/RVB).
If I understand correctly this is how all native windows applications work.
This means Photoshop and the other applications should display the same colors on a file with a sRGB profile.
Now this is the case until I calibrate my monitor.
When I do, Photoshop colors become different from the other applications (irfanview, explorer, browsers...).
The only way I found to let everything display the same colors is to set Photoshop to use Proofing/RVB Monitor.
What upsets me even more is that Photoshop colors look "better" to me (dark grays seem to dark to me in the other applications.)
I have read that this is because Photoshop takes the new profile into account and others applications do not. But I don't think this is relevant here because everything is in sRGB so the only profile is my monitor's and I think calibration is handled globally by windows : everything (including browsers, explorer, and Photoshop) changes color if I choose to apply the monitor's profile or not with windows color management tool ("use my parameters for this device").
Here is my system configuration :
- Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2)
- Windows 7 64 bits
- HP ZR2440W and DELL 2209WA (these are not wide gamut screens)
I have spent two days trying to figure the logics behind this and really am upset. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Don't hesitate to ask me if there is something that is unclear or some information I forgot to mention.
Thanks in advance,
Yannick

That sounds like an invitation to continue to talk about the issue. Fair enough.
I'm not sure where you're getting "insecurity"... I am just trying to help you help others more effectively.
I invite you to re-read just the first sentence of what you wrote very carefully, putting yourself in the shoes of someone struggling with both the terminology and the concepts:
Photoshop (CMS) reads an embedded ICC profile and CONVERTS it to the custom monitor profile for a theoretical 'true color' display
Think about what "Photoshop (CMS)" might mean to a person who doesn't know the acronym might stand for "Color Management System" (which is I assume what you meant). Adobe themselves don't call it "CMS", they use the acronym "CMM" (Color Management Module). The term "CMS" is used in the computer industry for about a dozen different things.
While a color profile might have been embedded in an image file before it was opened by Photoshop, Photoshop works on documents. A profile is not "embedded" in a document, it is maintained by Photoshop with the document and describes the color values in the document. If Photoshop opens a document without an embedded profile, depending on settings and user choices it might assign a profile or it might even operate on the document without color-management. Oversimplification doesn't help people when they're trying to learn new things unless it's described as such, for example, "This is a bit of an oversimplification..." or "Generally speaking..."
Not every monitor profile is a "custom monitor profile". Quite often a standard profile (e.g., sRGB IEC61966-2.1) is associated with a monitor by the operating system as a default, or a factory profile is installed by a driver package or system update. Your use of the term "custom" is a bit ambiguous and could be read as implying the creation of a profile using a calibration and profiling device specific to the particular monitor.
Photoshop's color management code does not convert an embedded ICC profile at all (read carefully what you wrote). As I said, it transforms color values. That was the key error in your description that prompted me to comment.
If ever there is a time to pick words carefully, it's in a color-management discussion.

Purchase order contains an order price unit that differs from the order uni

Purchase order contains an order price unit that differs from the order unit
Treatment at the time of "Goods Receipt" so that the stock maintained in Kg and at the same time the purcahse order unit is also to be entered at the time of GR.

the purchase requisition has your valuation, this is not the price you have with your vendor.
The valuation in the PR, is automatically copied from material master, dependend on the price control, it is either the moving average or the standard price, the valuation of your current stock. If MAP then this valuation was calculated by historic stock values and receipts from maybe several vendors.
the valuation is mainly used for the release procedure.

In the info bar at the bottom of the iphoto window, why is the number of items different from the total

In the info bar at the bottom of the iphoto screen, why is the number of items different from the total?

What version of iPhoto and system are you running? What mode are you in, i.e. Events, Photos?
If it's the Photos mode the number at the bottom will represent the number of photos displayed in that mode or the number of photos selected in that mode. The number will match the number next to the photos mode only when there are no photos in that mode that are selected.
If you click on the Events icon and then back on the photos icon the numbers should match.

Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer (I have iTunes Match)

Why is the library on my phone different from the one on my computer? (I have iTunes Match) I just want the song off my computer to be the songs I have on my phone.

Hey there Sparkly3gs,
It sounds like your camera is not rotating as expected in the camera app. I want to recommend starting by quitting the running apps on the phone.
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
I would suggest before restoring from your backup setup the device as new and make sure the camera functions as expected. Then restore from your backup and verify it still works.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling
