No edit capability in Contacts

Hey all, I dropped my phone and had to get a new one. I goofed up the contacts in the old phone in trying to back them up, so I lost them all. I synched my Yahoo mail contacts to my phone so I have them all back, but when I try to edit any one of them, there's no edit menu choice. Any ideas here?
Thanks, Chuck

Thanks, I thought of that and you're probably right. So how do I change them into contacts I can edit on the phone? Any way to do that, short of having to retype each one into the phone?
You can export them out of your Yahoo account and import them into the Gmail account that you use on the phone. You should do this with a computer and signed into Gmail from there. Once you have them imported into to Gmail, you would disable the sync for and remove the Yahoo generated contacts from the phone. Then double check that the sync is turned on for your Gmail contacts list. Once the Gmail contacts are on the phone, you can edit them from the phone if you want. You can also edit them from a computer and the Gmail website if you have a lot of them to edit.

Solution: iMac Address Book - Issues when Editing or Deleting Contacts

Is there a way to select a bunch of similarly posted questions and propose to "ALL" an answer or solution?
Hardware & Version: I have the iMac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (as of this writing)
Every so often, after updates, there seems to be rights issues with some apps, such as Address Book and iTunes, especially for iMacs with one or more non-admin accounts.
But somehow, even using the Admin account to give Read/Write access to some relevant user folders (AddressBook folder of that user in this case) does nothing to allow the editing or deleting of those contacts.
Here is the solution that worked for me, without losing all my contacts: (just in case, backup all files and contacts prior to these steps...)
1 - open Address Book app
2 - right-click a contact that you cannot edit or delete
3 - select "Spotlight: <contact name>"
4 - Finder will open and show all files pertaining to that contact (select View as Columns from the menu)
5 - find the file that has "Address Book Card Data" next to the "Kind" value (the file icon will look like those Roladex cards)
6 - right-click the file and select "Open Enclosing Folder"
7 - another Finder window opens to show the Metadata folder location of the file
8 - now stretch the window until you see the AddressBook folder containing the Metadata folder
9 - Quit Address Book app
10 - right-click the AddressBook folder and select "Move to Trash"
11 - launch the Address Book app
You should now be able to edit and delete contacts.

Report with Row Edit capability

When creating a report, what are the components that enable row edit capability. A few basic reports I generate do not have this capability. How would I change an existing report to allow row edits and then linking to a form to edit content.
Thanks,
BT

BT,
If you're looking for reports which contain for every row an extra column with a link to a form to edit content, you will find an example in the Demonstration Application ( look for About the Customers Page). If you're looking for a report with editable fields then you'll need collections, see the following example Taking up Collections.
If you're changing existing reports, adding an extra column is an easy solution but you will have to build forms if they not exists already. In the case of collections you'll have to rewrite all you're reports queries and build separate DML processes as well.
Unfortunately, making a report editable is not just a toggle.
With kind regards,
Jornica

What version of adobe allows edit capability on an adobe document?

What version of adobe allows edit capability on an adobe document?

Note that Adobe is a company, not a piece of software.
Adobe Reader for iOS (which is what this forum is for) is for VIEWING PDF files. Not for EDITING PDF files.
There is no file editor software that I'm aware of for iOS devices. You can do limited editing of PDFs on Acrobat Pro for Macintosh or Windows. This software is NOT free.

Unable to create or edit AD (mail) contacts in address book

Hi!
I recently imported quite a list of contacts from an old CRM application into Exchange. All entries are nicely created in domain.local\company\location\Contacts. All fields are visible in Outlook under All Address Lists\All Contacts.
As we have a small company, just a few users, I want to give most of them the rights to create and update entries in the All Contacts folder, just as they were used to in the old app.
I started by creating role groups following this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/08/07/creating-rbac-role-to-delegate-contact-management.aspx
I created an Admin Role group named Contact Administration, which contains the required Members, and I assigned two role groups to this group: Contact_Management, which is based on the Mail Recipient Creation parent group, and Contact_Management_2,
which is based on the Mail Recipient parent group. The Write Scope is: domain.local\company\location\Contacts.
Because this didn't result in anyone being able to update the contacts, I also created a group in Active Directory and delegated control on the contacts OU to this group, even though I think this doesn't add to the desired result (as it indeed didn't).
What am I missing here? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to create or edit a mail contact in address book, please follow these steps: -
Use the Shell to create a contact
This example creates mail contact for Debra Garcia in Exchange Server 2013
New-MailContact -Name "Debra Garcia" -ExternalEmailAddress [email protected] -OrganizationalUnit Users
This example creates a mail contact for Alan Shen in Exchange online.
New-MailContact -Name "Alan Shen" -ExternalEmailAddress [email protected]
3.     This example mail-enables an existing contact named Karen Toh in Exchange Server 2013.
Enable-MailContact -Identity "Karen Toh" -ExternalEmailAddress [email protected]
To add a contact: -
You can use the EAC to change selected properties for multiple mail contacts. When you select two or more mail contacts from the contacts lit in the EAC, the properties that can be bulk edited are displayed in the Details pane. When you change one of these properties, the change applies to all selected recipients.
When you bulk edit mail contacts, you can change the following properties areas: -
·        Contact Information: - Change shared properties such as street, postal code, and city name.
·        Organization: - Change shared properties such as department name, company name, and the manager that the selected mail contact or mail users report to.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Aperture photo editing capability gone

I've upgraded Yosemite, and without realizing it, my iPhoto/Aperture library has been migrated to Photos. I'm fine with that ... except that the Photo editing capability in Photos seems to be incredibly weak. Yes I can no doubt transfer a photo to Aperture, but we all want a single photo library. I keep looking for the Advanced Edit menu ... but there isn't one. Am I missing something? Why has Apple eliminated all the capability I PURCHASED in Aperture? This is not making this customer happy at all.

Did you find the advanced editing pane in the Adjust portion of Photos' edit mode?
Click on the Add button and check all of the times you want to show under Adjust.

LR4: any AUDIO editing capability - simple (?) enhancement request

First, hats off to the Adobe team for a nice upgrade. I'm still getting used to the new slider layout, but am loving it already. Really nice to be able to pull back the highlights without the image going to crap.
In addition to shooting stills with my Canon 7D, I also shoot the occasional video. I'm just a hobbiest (so don't have the budget for Adobe Premier) but just like to do some simple edits. The new video capability in LR4 is very much appreciated ... but I can't seem to find any audio editing capability - I suspect none exists.
As a software developers, I know the LightRoom team is pretty busy with bug squashing on the just released LR4 ... but a very useful feature would be the ability to export with/without a sound track, merge with an external track, or discard one of the stero tracks and convert the other to a mono signal.
You might ask why would you want to do the later? The reason is the *&^%$#@! Canon 7D (and many other DSLR's) use AGC (Automatic Gain Control) for their audio ... so it basically sounds like crap as the levels wander up and down. Fortunately, there are some 3rd party amps (placed between the microphone and camera) that can "defeat" the AGC by inserting a signal in one of the stereo tracks ... and this way you get consistant levels. So right now, I have to open up the video file with Audicity (which pulls the audio) then delete the one track and use the other as a mono signal. I then save that WAV file, open the video back up in Quicktime Pro, delete the audio track associated with it, and then pull in/merge the previously saved WAV file ... and then finally exporting the combined video/audio.
It would be awesome to do all of my (simple) video editing in LR4, and then simply have an option to fiddle the audio output as shown:
     1. Leave Audio as-is.
     2. Combine Left and Right track into Mono Signal
     3. Delete all Audio
     4. Delete Left Track (optionally convert right track to Mono Signal)
     5. Delete Right Track (optionally convert left track to Mono Signal)
Again, the AGC "problem" is really because the DSLR manufacturers don't allow you to set audio levels on their cameras - this is fixed in the most recent models and also with Magic Lantern ... the later is unfortunately not available for the 7D. But my approach to "defeat" the AGC isn't uncommon and my hope (PRETTY PLEASE! ;-) is that this simple audio editing capability might be easy to add to Lightroom and worthy of consideration.
Thanks,
alek
P.S. Note that I don't see this impacting sales of Adobe Premier since professional videographers are using off-camera sound and are already buying that program. I.e. this is mostly an issue for us hobbiests that are trying to improve the sound quality on the cheap and Premier is total overkill for this - be awesome if LightRoom could help us out a bit.

Hi,
why must I be editing a package to use the find function!? Has been asked for on numerous occasions, and has been agreed to implement in a future drop.
why doesn't the "describe table" functionality work from within a packageThis too has been asked for, and agreed to be implemented in a future drop.
If you'd have read the sticky moderator posts, especially "Feature Requests", you'd have found this on the SQL Developer Exchange ;-)

Is there anyway to have the ability to edit and add contacts without syncing to the cloud?

My husband and I share an account. He has a very large number of contacts that I do not need and don't want on my phone. I turned off syncing my contacts to the cloud for this reason but now do not seem to have the ability to add contacts or edit my existing contacts. Any suggestions?

It seems like you need to set up your own iCloud account. Just set one up different from his. Create a new one if you don't have another already.

How can I disable the edit button in contacts so that contacts cannot be edited or deleted?

Just sync your address book in iTunes and this will fix the problem. I had the same issue.
