Numbers '08 importing data and merging data from address book .....

HI all,
This is the time of year we have to tot-up all of our kilometers travelled to clients which is a real headache.
I am really keen to get this automated somehow and would be very grateful for some help.
Here are the details:
We use the address book app as our client database which includes name, address and kilometers from our base.
We have an accounting appcilation which lists all invoices by name, includes a date and I could also input the km in here if needed.
I would like to create a spread sheet in numbers that will contain a list of all clients invoiced and the kms traveled to their place from our base.
I can get the client list by getting our accounting software to output the data in CSV format, then input the data into numbers, however, I have a couple of queeries regarding the kms values and the import process ....
(a) firstly, I used to use in excel a very useful function of importing text from text edit, where I was able to choose what delimited a field, spaces, commas, even just width, does this also exist in Numbers? I have looked with no you.
(b) next the kms values, is there any automated way to match the client names in my excel sheet and pull in the kms values from the address book field?
If not, they could be inputed into my accounting software each time I enter a record, it just means a bit more work for me on a daily basis.
Many thanks in advance for your thoughts on this. I'm sure there is a clever way of getting round this somehow ....

Numbers have no provision to communicate with other applications.
With Numbers '09, we may fit the gap with AppleScript but there is no AppleScript support in Numbers '08.

How to merge faces from address book and Facebook?

I like faces, however, when I start to type the name of somebody on the picture (me), I can choose 2 different "me" - one is from address book and on from facebook. Is there any possibility that Facebook would recognize people from facebook and connect them to my address book (or the other way)?

I found this:
In Address Book (or "Contacts") select both cards that correspond to the same person (probably one card you created and the other generated from facebook), you can do this by Command+clicking.
Then, under 'Card' menu select 'Link Selected Cards'. Voila, they are now one card. Address Book still remebers these are two seperate cards, and you can always edit this back later.
If you prefer, you can then select the "leading" card that will be represented in the name, through the 'cards' field at the bottom of that person's card.
Since iPhoto uses Address Book's database, this should solve the duplicate person problem, though I haven't tested this thouroughly.
Hope this helps.

Drag and drop Contact from Address Book to Pages Document on iPad

On OS X MacBook and iMac I can use Drag and drop Contact functionality from Address Book directly on a Pages document. In Pages I have setup Merge fields to merge values from my Contacts. This works great!
I would also like to use this in Pages on my iPad mini. I know Pages on iOS are different from Pages for OS X, but I wonder if there is any possibility for me to open OS X created Pages document with Merge fields on iPad's Pages and replace existing Contacts values with new one from Address Book?
It seems like Pages on iOS even don't recognise Merge fields that I have created on OS X at all.

Are you dragging directly from one application and dropping into the other? What happens if you export to vcf card then import the vcf card with the other application?

Dialing and Sending SMSs from Address Book

Just upgraded to a new iMac 24" from a G4 MD running OSX 10.4.8. I successfully used my Sony Z520 phone before to send SMSs, and dial via the address book, along with the normal sync and other functions.
On the new iMac, the SMS and dialing functions do not work, though it pairs and syncs with my address book fine.
My phone pairs easily, easier than on the old computer. I have tried to delete and re-pair with same results (no dialing, no SMS).
It does dial Skype and Jajah (another VOiP system). Works fine.
When I recieved a call before, I could see who was calling me, but now it just says "unknown" in the dialogue box.
Any ideas how to get this working again?

You can use the Sony Ericsson Address Book Enabler to add SMS and Calls support for over 40 of the latest Sony Ericsson phones:

S700i and send sms from Address Book.

Hi,
I done a search for an answer but didn't find anything.
Is it possible when in Address Book in osx 10.4.3 to select a mobile phone number and 'send sms'?
This used to work but now doesn't.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Thanks.
Lel

It works for me. I have an Nokia 8800 paired via bluetooth.
Right click/control click on the phone number, and the option to send an SMS is there.
It only works with the phone paired though. Make sure the Bluetooth button in Address Book is coloured blue.

When I drag and drop contact from Address book to Entourage, they disappear

...within 24 hours or so. This has happened with 3 contacts now.
Any ideas where to begin?

Is it possible to import a group of Buddies from Address Book?

We have 25 users that are about to go "live" on Jabber/iChat. The thought of manually entering each and every Buddy, asking to be accepted is a daunting task.
I can only imaging how long my office will be dn while 25 staff ask all other 24 staff members to be allowed to add each one as a Buddy.
There MUST be an easier way to set up an inner-office Jabber list that is just pre-entered?

DOH!!!
That's pretty sweet!
I couldn't see the forest for the trees...
Many thanks

I have followed "Importing favorites and other data from Internet Explorer" but although I've worked through the dtages and it says it has worked, the expected internet explorer folder does not appear in bookmarks

I have installed Firefox today, and like the look of and the speed. But I have an extensive set of foldersin my IE Favorites and remebered passwords I don't want to have to reimput.
I have now tried twice folowing "Importing favorites and other data from Internet Explorer " which seemed to go smoothly, once with IE open and the other with it closed, and closed down my PC between each attempted installation. Any ideas?

It usually works better if you export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

Hi,
There is a set of objects in business content (check under SAP DEMO in business content). You can activate some or all of these demo objects (for example demo cubes).
There are programs which you can then execute to create the datafiles which can then be loaded to these demo cubes.
" Start report RSO_BC_FILES_IN_BDS (Transaction SE 38), specify the required (Demo) InfoObject/InfoCube and choose the "Start BDN" button. The system will display all (generally one) CSV files which were supplied with the InfoObject/InfoCube. You can either export this CSV file into a local directory or you can write it directly onto the application server. For loading, proceed as described under section 1. " --- from OSS note 370397

How do I get date and time component from a DATE object?

Hi All,
I need to get date and time separately from a DATE object, does
anyone know what function I should call? GetDate()? GetTime()?
I need this in a SELECT statement.
Thanks in advance and looking forward to your early reply.

How do you edit out the date and time stamp from a photo

How do you edit out the date and time stamp from a photo

You can blur it out with retouch
The built-in "Retouch" brush in "Edit" mode should suffice, if the background is mostly uniform, and if you set the size of the brush to slightly wider than the bar width of the letters. For example, in this picture I removed the year from the date (in the lower right corner) by using the "retouch" brush and following the contours of the letters. (the screen shot is from iPhoto '11, but iPhoto 9 should give similar results).

Hi,
The above error appears due to date format is differnt from SAP query generator and SQL server.
So you need convert all date in above query to SQL server required format.
Try to convert..let me know if not possible.

You can search the forums for that error message and find previous discussions - they all boil down to the same problem. Somewhere in your query that calls this function, the code invoked implicitly converts from string to date/datetime. In general,
this works in any version of sql server if the runtime settings are correct for the format of the string data. The fact that it works in one server and not in another server suggests that the query executes with different settings - and I'll assume for
the moment that the format of the data involved in this conversion is consistent within the database/resultset and consistent between the 2 servers.
I suggest you read Tibor's guide to the datetime datatype (via the link to his site below) first - then go find the actual code that performs this conversion. It may not be in the function you posted, since that function also executes other functions.
You also did not post the query that calls this function, so this function may not, in fact, be the source of the problem at all.
