Primary Contacts Not Importing HELP!

I have tried for years to get my Primary Contacts to import with my Accounts. The Business Contacts and Accounts import separately but there is not a single Account that is showing a Primary Contact. I have thousands of Accounts and Contacts and it would
take forever to do it manually. Is there a way for me to import the Primary Contact names to my Accounts?
Far too much missing information.
1) Outlook version being used?
2) How many email accounts (along with the applicable account "types" as in POP, Imap, etc) are configured in your Outlook profile?
3) What exactly do you mean by "tried for years...............to import with my Accounts"? Import from where?
4) Please clarify what you mean by "thousands of Accounts and Contacts" - specifically - the difference between an Account and a Contact as used in your description?

1 - Select the thumbnail of one of the problem photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option. This will take you to the folder containing the original file with that file selected by the Finder.
You can also use Find Any File to search for that file (get the file name from the Info pane in iPhoto). You will find the thumbnail version and maybe an edited version also. Made sure what is found is the large, original version and note were it's located. Search all of your drives with FAF just in case.
If you don't fine the full sized version then the only recourse is to use a file recovery application like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage on your drives to see if any of your full sized photos can be recovered. If you find enough files to make the purchase of the software worthwhile buy it and recover the files. However, since it may have been quite a while since you discovered the missing originals it seems unlikely you'll be able to recover any due to being overwritten.
2 - book projects are just entries in the library databases and can't be exported to another library.

IPTC legacy Contact - not imported by 3.4.1

Last year I tried out Aperture and found that it was able to see the 'IPTC legacy Contact' field. This is important for me, as it corresponds to the field "People" in the wonderful iView programme that I've been using for ever. It lists the people on my images. Recently when I upgraded to Mountain Lion, this old program stopped working however. And so I decided to buy a fresh Aperture, and import my pictures.
However: the new version of Aperture does not import the IPTC legacy Contact anymore!
This XMP:People field is equal to the IPTC:Contact (legacy) field, and in iView it is used to list the people on the image.
I've checked the jpeg file using exiftool to see if Aperture can write fields using 'Metadata'->'Write IPTC Metadata to original', or do the inverse with 'Metadata'->'Update from Original'. The result is:
-- Aperture can write the IPTC legacy Contact field
-- Aperture does not input the IPTC legacy Contact field
That means that the new Aperture 3.4.1 version cannot do what the older version did half a year ago??
Something else I notice, is that when I fill in the name of a face, this name is added as one of the IPTC Keywords.
.. so should I try to copy my "XMP:People" = "IPTC:Contact" (the two are equal) to the Keywords?
Is this is a known bug, where can I see a list of other known bugs in metadata handling?
How soon it will be fixed? And will I then be able re-read my metadata from the original files?
Another question: in iView, I was used to being able to merge the metadata that I had entered with the fields in the file, where either information in the file or in iView would 'win' in the merger. How should I do such an operation in Aperture?

Same here. I checked on my iMac and an MBP in Aperture 3.4.1, MacOS X 10,8.2, and I see the same. Aperture exports the legacy contacts field, but it does not show it in the versions when importing an image.
However, when I check the imported original/master image file, the IPTC field is not erased - the version just does not reflect the data stored in the legacy contacts field.
Something else I notice, is that when I fill in the name of a face, this name is added as one of the IPTC Keywords.
.. so should I try to copy my "XMP:People" = "IPTC:Contact" (the two are equal) to the Keywords?
Keywords? or do you mean IPTC tags? The keywords are a special kind of metadata tags, and I do not see the "faces" names in the Aperture keywords. In which tag do you see them?
if you want to use another IPTC field to store the Contact info, I'd recommend to copy your info to one of the metadata fieldds, that are not marked as "legacy". Any feature labelled "legacy" is likely not to be supported in the near future.
Is this is a known bug, where can I see a list of other known bugs in metadata handling?
I have not seen this bug reported before, and do not know of any list of known bugs.
How soon it will be fixed? And will I then be able re-read my metadata from the original files?
Write a bug-report to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html
They should be told, that users still depend on this legacy tag, otherwise the chances are slim that they will bother to fix it - the name "legacy" clearly indicates that this metadata tag is doomed and only supported for compatibility reasons.
Your imported originals/masters still have this field and carry the data - at least mine do - so you might consider to write an Automator service to access them with a shell script using exiftool.
But it might be easier in the long run to simply copy these data to a different tag that is still supported.
in iView, I was used to being able to merge the metadata that I had entered with the fields in the file
Aperture keeps the data you enter in the versions. Also, when you import an image file, the tags should be copied to the version. When you edit the tags and want to add these changes to the original file, you can use the command "Metadata > Write IPTC Metadata to Original". That will write your changes to the original file, but not merge the data.
Just some thoughts - sorry that I do not have a solution for your problem

Cisco PCA contacts not importing all of them

Trying to get contacts imported into Cisco PCA (Cisco Unity Personal Communications Assistant) so we have certain users call by voice command...
I am able to get most of the contacts in, but only about 50% will import from Exchange. I cannot figure out why others are not importing. I cannot find anything obvious different between the contacts.

So after much back and forth with TAC and getting the right people involved, there's a hard limit of 150 on Cisco's side. We are putting in a PER with our partner, but I'm guessing this is a "don't hold your breath" situation Its too bad this isn't documented anywhere and wasted a lot of my time and their time.

1489 workstation not imported HELP

I am having some probplems using the Remote Control portion of Zenworks.
When I try to access machines I get this error:
1489: The workstation is not imported to the tree. The directory mode of

Does anyone know a workaround or fix for this issue? Thank you ever so
much.

Hi Marcus,
Thank you for answering me. I have tried this while users are logged in
and while they are not but i get the same error message either way. When
you say "is it imported?" i guess i am not sure the answer. I did not do
anything specific to import the machine. I can see it in consoleone but
that is the message i get when i try to access it. Is there something
specific i need to do to import the machine? On the reboot question i am
unable to answer as i am not sure what constitutes importing the
workstation. They have the Novell client on them for several reboots
before i try Zenworks. Thank you so much for your help.

Ringtone for individual contacts not working help!

I have had my Iphone for a week or so and I can not get individual ringtones for each contact to work. The guy at the ATT store was kind enough to transfer my contacts from my old Razr. ALL my calls are reverting to the default tone. This is very irritating. I can not find any duplicate entries in my contact list. I am on the verge of wiping all my contacts and starting over. Can someone help? Running OS 3.1.3.

Sorry user error.. There is a sneaky little toggle switch right above the volume controls... It was in silence mode... Doh!

But while doing so i can see Primary Contact as an Object within Account Object, where(in Primary Contact Object) user first name,last name and full name are given as fields.
I need to put the filter for Primary Contact not equals to null, but dont know how to map the Primary Contact object with a correct feild so that i can put this filter. I tried with Full name not equals to null but didnt get any results.
Could anyone please suggest?
Thanks for help!

Mav Contacts does not import csv file

Trying to import my Outlook exchange contacts to Mavericks Contacts. Exported from outlook to excel. Saved excel file to csv format. Tried to import csv file to Mavericks Contacts: Error message says the csv file is not compatible. Also imported the csv file to Numbers and saved again as another csv file. Same error message. Suggestions?

The following was copied from the Contacts Help.
Import contact information saved or exported from other apps. The files can be in LDAP Interchange Format (LDIF) or text format (tab-delimited or comma-separated value (CSV)).
If you’re importing a tab-delimited or CSV file, make sure it’s formatted correctly using a text editor such as TextEdit.
Remove any line breaks within a contact’s information.
Make sure that fields in a tab-delimited file are separated by a tab, instead of by another character. Don’t include spaces before or after tabs.
Make sure that fields in a CSV file are separated by a comma, instead of by another character. Don’t include spaces before or after commas.
Make sure all addresses have the same number of fields. Add empty fields as needed.
In Contacts, choose File > Import, select the file, change the encoding if necessary, then click Open.
If you’re importing a text file, review the field labels.
If the first card contains headers, make sure the headers are correctly labeled or marked “Do not import.” Any changes you make to this card are made to all cards in the file. To not import the headers card, select “Ignore first card.”
To change a label, click the arrows next to the label and choose a new label. If you don’t want to import a field, choose “Do not import.”

Why does Lion KEEP reversing changes you make in address book and other applications without your consent and without wanting it to??? Plus address book will NOT import old address book contacts from Snow Lepoard 10.6 and keep them. This Lion OXS 7 is .. becoming very frustrating ... it will NOT keep changes made in the Address Book and it has destroyed my contacts which I only have electronically since 10.4 in my address book. I am NOT happy with this OS7 it has a lot of issues and faults. How can one stop automatic reversing of data when inputting???
Please help!
Wished I NEVER upgraded to this Lion!!!
Carmelo

Relax. Your address book database is corrupted.
If you are syncing your Contacts with MobileMe or something else, disable it for now.
Backup your address book by going to File>Export>Address Book Archive.
Quit Address Book.
Open your Library by holding down the Option (alt) key while selecting the Go menu in Finder. Select Library. Navigate into your Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the addressbook-v22.abcddb file.
Open Address Book. It will recreate the database from the raw data.
See how that works. If it is ok, then reenable syncing and see how that works.
