New User Faces Gnarled Contacts

Service provider downloaded contacts in SIM card from Nokia N-70 to new i-Phone4s. Result is two and mostly incomplete set of numbers that scroll A-to-Z, followed by hash mark and more names and numbers downloaded from new MacBook Air. Is there a method to merge these into one complete list? Many thanks. I've finally made complete shift from PC to Mac and this is only major issue I've faced.

Here's what I would recommend:
Before I begin, does she have her own ID? If she does, then continue reading. If not, go to http://appleid.apple.com and make one for her.
Yes, upgrading to iOS 5 would be very beneficial. Have her upgrade to iOS 5, and then set up "iCloud." This will allow her to back up her contacts to the cloud. Then, she can wipe the phone, and once she re-enables iCloud after the restore, "Contacts" should be on and then appear on her phone.

  • Switch 3GS phone to new user and keep contacts

    My wife got my brother's old iPhone 3GS from him when he upgraded to the iPhone 4 over a year ago.  The person at AT&T transferred my wife's contacts from her old phone to the 3GS phone.  She can't buy any apps without using my brother's ID so she hasn't purchased anything yet.
    She wants to clear the phone but still keep all of her contacts.  I was wondering what steps she would need to follow to do it.
    We did go to the Apple store but didnt our laptop with us to try and work through it there and the directions that we got were a bit confusing after we got home.
    Any help would be welcomed?
    Also, would it be beneficial to upgrade the iOS to the latest version as well since the phone is currently running v3.1.3?
    Thank you.

  • New user. Need to know where my email contacts are on my macbook pro and how I can make a group email address

    New user. Email contacts imported to MacBook pro from PC - but I'm unable to call up entire contact list or to make a group emailing contact.

    Assuming you are using Apple's Mail application, contacts are managed via the Contacts application, in your application folder.  As for various addressing methods, including groups, maybe this:

  • Automate the import of company contacts to new users in Office365

    Hey all,
    I'm looking to find a way to automate the way I import our internal company vcard contacts to a new users Outlook 2013 contact list. Right now, I'm having to save each individual vcard manually into the new users Outlook 2013 contact list. 
    What I would love to happen is when I create this new user in the O365 admin portal that this user will automatically have these company contacts included.
    Is this possible?

    SORRY I have to edit my post...
    My problem: I wanted to import my addresses out of the thunderbird addressbook into my iPod Touch
    Solution:
    You need mozilla thunderbird with an addressbook stuffed with your contacts, an addon called "MoreFunctionsForAddressBook" (Altavista, Google, msn etc. are your friends to find it), outlook express
    The steps
    Create a folder for your vcards
    Install MoreFunctionsForAddressBook as addon to your thunderbird
    Open your addressbook
    mark all your addresses, _*go to extras, export vcard and send them to the new folder*_
    Mark all the cards in the new folder, copy them by pulling them into the addresslist.
    Then you push the correct button in iTunes and it will do the rest ...

    I need to sync my iPhone to new user id on the same mac.  How do I keep my iPhone contacts and music library?  I tried to sync and iTunes wanted to erase both.

    When you say a new user ID, are you referring to your Apple ID that you use to make purchases in the iTunes Store, etc? Or are you talking about a new user account on the same Mac?

  • Business Contact Manager issue with New Users

    I have an issue with a client when setting up Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2013. The client recently got a new employee and the employee was setup on an existing workstation that has BCM installed. When I launched Outlook 2013, and configured Oultook for
    the new user, BCM started and needed to be configured. I went through the procedure for connecting to a 'Remote Database' on the server, typed in the server name as requested, and clicked Continue. BCM searched for the database but could not find it. The existing
    user account on the workstation works just fine with BCM, and sees the remote database.
    My next step was to remove BCM and re-install. This is the latest version/release of BCM for Outlook 2013. The existing user account was able to configure BCM with no issues, and found the remote database without an issue. The new user account had the same
    issue as before and would not find the remote database.
    I logged onto the same workstation as the administrator account we use to perform Admin tasks. I launched Outlook, configured Outlook 2013, and was able to successfully configure BCM and connect to the remote database with no issues.
    I then created another New User on the server called Testaccount (TAccount), and logged onto the same workstation again, as this new user, and went through the same Outlook 2013 configuration and BCM setup. BCM has the same issue with this new user, and
    cannot locate the remote database. From what I can determine, this looks to be something related to New Users that are created on the server and BCM not locating the remote database. Existing users do not have this issue when configuring BCM and connecting
    to the remote database.
    Has anyone had this issue or seen this issue and knows of a fix to correct this so my client can use BCM with the new user account, and any future new users they hire?
    Thank you in advance for any assistance on this matter.

  • Opening new user account- how can I moved mail and contacts?

    I would like to open a new user account on my mac and move (or copy) a few things to the new account. I would like to move the mail including all the mails stored, the contacts, some of the folders etc. Is it possible? How can it be done?
    Thanks, Alon

    No. Not the main Library folder. Make absolutely sure you are in the Home Library folder and not the main Library folder.
    Your Home Library folder is hidden in Lion. To get to it, in the Finder menu, select GO and hold the option key down. Select Library in the submenu. The Finder window will open in your Home Library. This is where your user prefs are stored.
    Once there, you will see the Preferences folder. Open it up, select all items within it and move them to the trash. You will need to restart in order for the new Finder preferences to be recreated.
    Once you restart, then you will be back to the default preferences to the system and all applications. And yes, it will affect all settings including your Dock, just as logging into a new user. You will have to reset everything there also.
    If you wish to do a selective method, instead of deleting all preferences, try deleting the one associated with your problem. Screen saver problems should be affected by the system preferences, so try deleting this:
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist.lockfile
    Note that when you delete system file preferences, a restart will be required. For applications, just quit the application before trashing preference files.

  • New User Setups - My Face...

    Oh yeah!  Plus New User setup forms from HR with wrong spelling as well, and you get ahead of the game and go and setup every account they need, login as them to their new machine, an email goes out to all users asking them to welcome the new start, the GAL goes out to all remote Outlook users and everything - then they turn up for work on their first day and call you to say their name is spelt wrong.  Oh the pain, the anger, the postal feeling, then...   ah, the coffee - that's better.....
    And it all begins again.

    when I have to work on a new user setup for a unique snow flake...
    Instead of a common/sane/literate spelled name such as Matthew, I have to create Matthieui
    Or the latest one... Synthia instead of Cynthia.

  • How do I create a new user, move my old files etc over, and delete old user

    This is why I think I need to.
    My computer got hit by lightening, and I may have created a new user account through netinfo rather than system preferences /accounts/+user. Mail used to open twice, but no longer. Now, Safari askes me for my keychain password twice, Spotlight can't find a folder on the computer when the search is restricted to folder and computer, though the folder is there and easyfind finds it, and when System Preferences/Spotlight/Privacy has the hard drive icon added, then deleted, Spotlight still does not find anything. (Yes, everything is backed up, on CD, DVD, and online.) Microsoft Tec Support says
    "Here is a summary of the key points of the case for your records.
    When you contacted us on August 8, you had requested assistance with Microsoft Office 2004, as your installation of the updates was unable to find the correct version of the software to update. After creating a New MAC User, we identified the issue to be with a corrupt MAC User account, and not a Microsoft issue. "
    I believe Microsoft. So, creating a new user was easy.
    But copying files uses up too much hard drive (movies, music), and may miss keychains, preferences, mail, address book, and documents. Since Spotlight no longer works, who knows what is happening. (Yes, I've repaired persmissions, and disk repair. No change). I'm using up my hard drive trying to move files to the new user. If I share files, or put them into a public folder, then delete the old user, will I still have the old user's files in the new user's account? It is not clear to me what I should be trying to do in order to create a new user, move my old files etc over, and delete old user. Thanks.
    My responses will be slow, because I have to drive to town to use the internet. I've ordered a new airport which may take care of that problem. SO be patient.

    Hey -
    I need to do the EXACT same thing, but have no idea how. Has anyone out there done this?
    My situation is a tad different..this is a new Mac (and I'm a brand new Mac user). Tons of querks occur under my original account (videos won't run, Safari won't support certain plug-ins). I spent 6 hours on the phone w/ 4 different Apple Reps and nobody could fix it. A rep finally looked at my MacBook Pro in person today. He created a new account just to see if that would work and under that new account, everything works perfectly fine (no querks, can view video). He tried switching a million settings in my original account to no avail.
    He said to create a new account (as he did) and move my files over to the new account and then go back to the original and delete it. How do you do this?! I can't figure it out! I've got a new account created, but of course it just has the default folders in it w/ the little red icons next to them! Thanks in advance!

  • How can i start a new user profile service in ordre to replace an old one ?

    hi
    i create a new user profile service in ordre to replace an old one 
    when i use : Get-SPServiceApplication i can see that hi is created but
    when i use Get-SPServiceInstance i can see it i can see only the old one 

    Hi,
    The Get-SPServiceInstance returns the services instance for a specific server or the entire farm. The service instance GUID is unique to every farm and cannot be changed.
    For starting a fresh with the User Profile Service configuration, you can unprovision and re-provision the User Profile Service:

    This is definitly possible. In my perspective
    it consist out of two steps: customing your login-screen and making a procedure which adds an new user to portal.
    The customizing of the login screen is only a extra call to the new procedure.
    The procedure is a bit more diffcult, you have to make an user and add rights to him.
    I already have a document containing the way to customize a loginscreen.
    I also have a sql-package wich adds an user to portal(from outside portal), but the description and inline documentation are in dutch. So I have to do some work on that.
