Primary contact and contact field in activity

Hi all,
I am trying to create few contacts under an account and set one contact as primary contact.
Then i am trying to craete an activity for that account.In that Activity there are two fields "Contact" and "Primary Contact".But when I try to pick up a contact and save the Activity record I see that the primary contact is not updated properly.(which means the primary contact is different from the one I selected in the account detail page).
I also found that if the contact's primary account is not the account to which i am adding the activity then the contact name is not coming in the drop down to select for an activity.(in the "contact" and "primary contact" look up field of activity)
Is there some reason for this??or am trying to overlook something..
kindly help..
Thanks in advance,
Ashan.

Hello Ashan,
I tried the same thing, creating 2 Contacts under Account then making one primary, then created the activity and select the contact under Contact Look up and it successfully updated the primary contact field.
There seems to be a problem with your pod, Have you tried raising an SR with oracle regarding this?

Report on Account - Contact and Contact Team

Hi,
We have a requirement to build a report on accounts with their contacts and the contact team for those contacts all in one report. The user should be able to filter the account on type or name.
I can't find a correct subject area for this. Contact Team history does not hold the account information. I am looking into combined analysis but have not found the combination that works yet.
Has anyone build a report like this before?

Position of 'call contact' and 'contact info' buttons

Hi all,
I've been wondering for a while why the two contacts buttons ('Call' and 'Contact info') appear at the top on the SMS screen... When there's been a long thread of messages it would be nice if these were at the bottom of the thread, as I'm not keen on having to scroll back up to call the contact...
Is there a way of changing the position of these so they appear at the end of the thread instead? If not, is there a way for users to offer suggestions to Apple?
Cheers!

You can scroll right back up to the top in one press by touching the very top of the screen (above the person's name).

Viber Contacts and Contacts App Sync Problems

Problem:
I see all the contacts only in Viber contact list, but do not see them in my contacts app
Question:
How to make all contacts from Viber contact list appear in contacts app?
How do I sync or what do I do, so my dad has his contacts back?
Me (iPad) and my dad (iPhone 5s) are using the same apple ID, (but we live in different countries), recently all of the contacts from his phone has been transferred to my device. This has never happened before, so I decided he just pressed something that has synced our devices.
About 1500 of his phone contacts has been added to my contacts - after I deleted them, they were also deleted from his phone. I tried to backup from iCloud (the last restore was 2 days ago, while I still had his contacts), but it did nothing - I still had only my contacts. Then I restored backup from my macbook and the contacts appeared, all of his and mine, but the problem is that they appeared only in Viber and none of them appeared in Contacts App. I tried syncing again with iTunes and iCloud, but got the same old contacts without his, so I had to restore backup again.

UPD: I've put contacts back to contact book by going into vibe settings and choosing which contacts to show.
But the sync problem still persists: If I connect to wi-fi or computer it syncs and Im getting my old contacts, not contacts from both devices
How do I import all, new list of contacts back into iCloud?

Contacts and contact pictures

I have a Blackberry Curve 8530 series through Sprint. Fairly often, I will assign a picture to a contact and it will stay there a few days, then all of a sudden that contact no longer has a photo assigned to them. When it happens, one time it was every contact that had a picture, but all the other times it would be just one particular contact. It is never a Facebook issue or anything either because 2 of the contacts it happens with don't even have any Facebook or any other account linked to my phone..
Also, recently phone reset a few of my contacts all together. It both deleted their pictures, and it reset their numbers. For example. a friend of mine got his number changed nearly 3 months ago. I deleted his old number out of my phone and replaced it with his new number. All of a sudden out of nowhere 2 days ago, I was calling him and it kept going to another person. Finally I looked at his contact profile and realized that his new number was no longer there, and instead his old number was there... I had just viewed his contact profile 2 days before this incident and his new number was there, because i read it off to another friend..

Isn't there ANYONE that can provide advice on this topic????????????

Multiple contacts and merge fields

I am trying to created a Pages document in which I can have merge fields for more than 1 contact, ie sending off a letter to contact #1, yet in reference to contact #2. Can't seem to figure out how to accomplish this. Example:
Contact #1 name
Contact #1 address
RE: contact #2 name, contact #2 date of birth
Dear Contact #1,
Any direction is greatly appreciated

Not suppported.
The model for merge is a personalized letter, sent to a specific person. You can merge information from two records: a Sender card, which is the one in Address Book that is identified as MyCard), and a Merge card (which is the intended recipient of the 'letter').
Additional Merge cards will generate separate copies of the document.

Barry

Out of Order Primary Keys and Blob fields

Hi,
I am using Oracle Migration Workbench to transfer the data from SQLServer 2000 to ORacle 9i. I am running into the following issues and was wondering if you had any ideas what may be going on:
1.) Primary keys are out of order
2.) Blob fields are inserted into the incorrect row
Ex. BLOB field stating 'Application active' should be associated with Act_key (primary key) = 5 and it ends up transfering over with act_key 28.
Thank you for any information you may have on this.
AK

I am very interested in this thread because I have encountered a similar problem with BLOB columns, except that I am also seeing this with CLOB's.
Essentially the all the data gets 'migrated', but the CLOB and BLOB columns are all mixed up!
Any solutions?

Sync Address to Contacts and Date to Calendar on my desktop software?

How can I sync Address to Contacts and Date to Calendar on my desktop software? Entered info before I discovered that sync to TX only syncs Contacts & Calendar. Thanks!
Post relates to: Palm IIIc

Hello!
The palm desktop application uses Contacts and Calendar fields BUT really its the conduits in your hotsync manager that needs attention. First be sure to install the Palm Desktop found on your Palm TX CD for it will have both the Calendar, Contacts, Memos, and Tasks conduits also the DateBook, Address, To Dos, and Memo Pad conduits. The software should be able to identify which of these sets of 4 your device has and use the respected conduits to sync the data to Calendar and Contacts fields in Palm Desktop by just doing a hotsync. Now in this case be sure to keep different user profiles for each device. Are you tring to migrate data from Palm IIIc to the Palm TX? Keep me posted.

Since upgrading to maverick I have had problems syncing contacts and calendar between devices

After recent apple support ref:532791559 my macpro will exchange these items between icloud and macpro but now I find I cannot exchange data between my iphone (IOS7) and ipad (IOS7)
In above apple support created new accounts etc to arrange connection but now I have lost the other two items. All three were working perfectly with icloud before updating. Sorry Apple but this is a blunder!!!

Hi,
Thank you for taking an interest in my problem.
What actually transpired was my Macpro (contacts) would not update after I put changes in to contacts in either iphone or ipad. Apple checked and discovered that changes made in either macPro (contacts) and contacts(cloud.com) did not talk to each other so concentrated on this.
The rep had me signout of my macpro user account, and create a temp new user to which I signed into my icloud account as normal. Then, changes in either macpro or cloud.com now worked. He then did some changes at his end and after exiting the temp user and resigning in as origal macpro user this now made changes to each other. OK. We then deleted the temp user and this worked! but since then I have discovered that iphone and ipad now do not change icloud.com contacts or calendar so would not of course change contacts on macpro!
Other services on icloud (photo stream, mail, docs and data, find my ----, etc) all function with my iphone (so have to presume my ipad also, but this is not with me at this time) so the problem is confined to just contacts and calendar.
In summary, I do have only one icloud address but which appears to have two sets of data as the devices will communicate with something but not altogether!!
I am thoroughly confused, especially as it was all fine until I upgraded from M\Lion to Mavericks on my shiny new macpro a few weeks ago. I had moved from Windows to Apple to avoid just such problems.
Not enamoured with Apple at the moment, but thank you for your assistance - hope this is a better explanation.
Kind Regards

This is what is backed up
iTunes will back up the following information
Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync contacts to a computer or cloud service such as iCloud to back them up).
App Store Application data including in-app purchases (except the Application itself, its tmp and Caches folder).
Application settings, preferences, and data, including documents.
Autofill for webpages.
CalDAV and subscribed calendar accounts.
Calendar accounts.
Calendar events.
Call history.
Camera Roll (Photos, screenshots, images saved, and videos taken. Videos greater than 2 GB are backed up with iOS 4.0 and later.)
Note: For devices without a camera, Camera Roll is called Saved Photos.
Game Center account.
Home screen arrangement.
In-app purchases.
Keychain (this includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some other applications. If you encrypt the backup with iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the keychain information to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, you can restore the keychain only to the same iOS device. If you are restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you will need to enter these passwords again.)
List of External Sync Sources (MobileMe, Exchange ActiveSync).
Location service preferences for apps and websites you have allowed to use your location.
Mail accounts (mail messages are not backed up).
Installed Profiles. When restoring a backup to a different device, installed configuration profiles are not restored (such as accounts, restrictions, or anything which can be specified through an installed profile.) Any accounts or settings that are not associated with an installed profile will still be restored.
Map bookmarks, recent searches, and the current location displayed in Maps.
Microsoft Exchange account configurations.
Network settings (saved Wi-Fi hotspots, VPN settings, network preferences).
Nike + iPod saved workouts and settings.
Notes.
Offline web application cache/database.
Paired Bluetooth devices (which can only be used if restored to the same phone that did the backup).
Safari bookmarks, cookies, history, offline data, and currently open pages.
Saved suggestion corrections (these are saved automatically as you reject suggested corrections).
Messages (iMessage and carrier SMS or MMS pictures and videos).
Trusted hosts that have certificates that cannot be verified.
Voice memos.
Voicemail token. (This is not the voicemail password, but is used for validation when connecting. This is only restored to a phone with the same phone number on the SIM card).
Wallpapers.
Web clips.
YouTube bookmarks and history.
* Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.
You will see that contacts are backed up

What causes iPhone to lose all contacts, and how can I stop it happening again?

iPhone 3gs, still running 5.1.1 because I actually rely on the mapping software.
A few days back, it started randomly exiting various apps for no reason. Today, I tried powering off and re-starting, but when it re-started it had erased all contacts.
Last backup was a couple days before, so I won't have lost anything crucial, but this is the first such disaster since bying the phone 3 years ago. I see numerous complaints about this, and no real solution or explanation offered from Apple. I figure it's about time to replace my phone, so this will be a test: either there will be a clear explanation and a solution, or I'll switch to Android.

What are you syncing them WITH? Do NOT say iTunes. iTunes is NOT a contact manager.
If you're syncing them with your computer, your choices are MS Outlook or Windows Address Book on a PC, and Contacts / Address Book on a Mac.
If you are not syncing your contacts with a contact manager or cloud service, you are NOT syncing your contacts.
See this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
Particularly this item and disclaimer:
Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync contacts to a computer or cloud service such as iCloud to back them up).
* Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.

Can't Sync Calendar and Contacts with Outlook 2007

I have an iPhone and I usually sync my calendar and contacts with my Outlook 2007. But since a few days wherever I change or add a new information (PC or iPhone) it doesn't sync. Nothing changes in any device. No error is displayed. Does someone know what can be possibly happening, since it has worked perfectly since 2009? I have tried to remove the calendars and add it again and didn't have success.
Thanks.

Difference between checkbox field 'Primary Contact' and 'Primary"

Guys,
Both these fields are available in the Contacts related section of Accounts. The 'Primary Contact' field for a contact is checked when I select that contact in the Account's 'Primary Contact' field.
- But what about the 'Primary' field? How does it get checked?
- There is a 'primary' field available in Contacts field setup .What is its purpose? Its setting cannot be changed(fixed -read only).
I observed that whenever I add a contact to the Account from the account's related information section, the 'primary' field is checked in the related section, but when I add the 'Primary' field on Contacts page layout, it is never checked .
- I need to understand this as we will need this functionality of being able to see which contact is primary from the contact page.
Thanks in Advance.

The first contact added to an accout thru the UI or import will have the "Primary Contact" checkbox checked. Like you I do not understand the "Primary" checkbox field and I would recommend that you ignore it.
