Problems opening and using Contacts files imported from PC.

I'm new to iPad and IOS.
Transferred my Contacts files from my PC which has now gone the way of all flesh.
Can pick up my individual email addresses for emails but cannot see my address groups (used for group emailing).
I can see the .contact and .group files on Knowhow but the Pad tells me I can't open those files.
How can I open the files, and why do the groups not show up when I 'm trying to select an email address.
Am I just being dumb or do I need to download different app ?
Grateful for any help. Thanks

See this r=thread for some alternatives....free that is!

  • How do I open and use a large table from Word in Pages?

    I upgraded my MBP from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion a couple days ago.  I knew that my old Word application wouldn't work, but several Apple people assured me that Pages could handle my old docs, including tables.
    So, I purchased and installed Pages '09 this morning.  I opened the table I use all the time - - and most of it is missing!  Apparently, Pages doesn't handle large tables.
    I need help - desperately!  This table contains all my medical expenses for the year, so I have to have it.
    Thanks

    J,
    Besides needing to have your Table Object Floating, you should know that the maximum number of rows in Pages Tables is 999.
    If you continue to have problems opening your Word document and its table in Pages, try one of the free Office Clones, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, IBM Lotus Symphony, etc.
    I'd bet that at least one of those free apps will work if Pages doesn't. By the way, have you tried viewing your Word document in Quick Look? To do that, click on the filename in Finder and hit the Spacebar key. You won't be able to do anything but view the document in Quick Look, but it would give you confidence that your file is OK.

  • Odd problem opening and forwarding .pdf files

    Received several .pdf files. I can open them from the email, but when I save them to my directory, I can't reopen them. When I forward them they can't be opened. When the recipient tries, she gets a message that says "this internet site is not available". I'm totally baffled. To my knowledge, I'm just trying to send some files - nothing to do with an internet site. Can anyone explain or make a suggestion? Thanks.

    You can tryout the Open source PDFBox API
    The api has an class which extracts the text from the pdf document.
    It might help you.
    you can find it in
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfbox/
    hope works

    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. 

  • Any problems opening Illust. 10 files with illus. CS3?

    I'm working on a logo in Illustrator 10 at home...my old g4 tower is running 10.3.9...
    I'll be using these files on a new laptop, a MBP with leopard...I'll be upgrading to CS3 for Illustrator...
    there won't be any major text files, just logo work...mostly type, an acronym...perhaps some mark design like circles, ovals, squares, etc...
    anything i need to know about now that won't work when I upgrade and transfer these files to a new computer?...I just want to make sure I don't keep my client waiting while i have a nervous breakdown trying to open and use my files :-)
    thanks for any advice...
    M

    Keep the G4 for backup in case things get out of hand. I'm like you are, still using v10 via OS10.3.9 and have concerns. Wade is correct about text, I believe Adobe rewrote the font engine in CS1 and there was some confusion on how to handle the transition. The problem with a triple upgrade like ours is: 1.) you're upgrading the CPU which affects peripherals and existing system applications like font management, 2.) you're upgrading from Panther to Leopard while totally bypassing Tiger, so there may be issues with missing updates ( although unlikely ) and some vendors not yet ready for Leopard, and 3.) Adobe is trying to keep pace with Leopard w/CS3, so there are probably issues that have not yet been discovered and some that have ( per Wade ). I've done some recent work with CS2 apps via Tiger ( OS10.4.1? ) and Apple's Mac Mini Intel based CPU and didn't perceive any real problems. But, again, those were just generic, education baed machines that didn't have print capabilities, font management, or outside peripherals ( probably the best way to run the system ).

  • I am having problems using mov files imported into a project. I get the message "Not rendered" in the Canvas and clip won't play. Can anyone help?

    I am having problems using mov files imported into a project. I get the message "Not rendered" in the Canvas and clip won't play. Can anyone help?

    When clips won't play without rendering in the Timeline, it usually means that the clip's specs don't match the Sequence settings.
    A .mov file could be made from any number of codecs; the QuickTime Movie designation is merely a container for video files of all kinds.  Since FCE only works with the QuickTime DV codec and the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) natively, if your mov files aren't one of those two, you need to convert them PRIOR to importing into your FCE project.

  • Problem printing PDF picture files imported from JPG using HP Colour InkJet cp1700 printer

    When I print PDF picture files imported from JPG using an HP Colour InkJet cp1700 printer, the picture spills over.  A wide range of other PDF files print OK.  Have tried things such as configuring the printer to scale to letter size, etc,, but without success.  Have a Windows 7 64 bit computer and Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.5.5.  Any ideas?

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @rt70 
    I understand you're having some issues with printing PDF files from a website on Windows 7.
    I would personally suggest trying to print from that website using a different web browser. If you're using Internet Explorer, try FireFox or Chrome, for example.
    You can also try running the Print and Scan Doctor tool, that will search and try and fix printing issues.
    If you have any issues that continue, please let me know what they are and which programs, websites, and web browsers you have tried, along with the results from running the diagnostic tool above.
    Good luck and have a great day

  • Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my Address Book after importing the files from my Power Mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys.  Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it.  It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295

  • Cannot open .avi files imported from Nikon d90 in Adobe Premiere 6.0.

    Cannot open .avi files imported from Nikon d90 in Adobe Premiere 6.0.
    When I try to open the file I get the following error message:
    "cannot open that file
    the file uses an unsupported file compression format"
    I really need urgent help with this so if you know a soloution, please post it!

    I don't do mjpeg so you will have to search the forum for advice
    But... having a playback codec installed does not ALWAYS mean the codec will work for Premiere editing
    After you search the forum and find the (I think free) codec vendors, you will need to install fresh so Premiere will "see" the codec for editing
    Or, Google
    convert mjpeg avi
    To convert to DV AVI type 2 with 48khz sound so the files will "natively" edit in Premiere
    My GUESS (you didn't say) is the d90 is a STILL camera that has a video function, not a true camcorder
    If you plan to do much video work, you need a tape-based DV camcorder so you use Firewire to do a digital transfer as a "real" AVI that Premiere may edit without conversion or extra software
    For a Firewire DV Camera - look at Panasonic PV-GS320 or GS500 (Note that I have not used either, but they have good reviews)

  • Error: "We're having a problem opening this location on file explorer. Add this website to your trusted sites list and try again"

    Hello,
    When i try to open document library from SharePoint Production portal then it throws the specified error. However, when i open document library from SharePoint Development portal then it opens it in file explorer quite easily.
    Production portal is on https whereas development portal is on http. Also, UAG has been configured on production portal.
    Any idea where it's getting stuck up? Surely, this is not a browser issue on Windows 7 as it's opening the development portal's document library on the same machine.
    I've also done following things:
    - Configured Desktop Experience on production environment
    - Installed the hotfix for Windows 7
    Regards,
    Sohaib
    Sohaib Khan

    Hello Sohaib.
    Here is the list of causes defined here.Hope it helps you
    The cause and the resolution methods are the following:
    Cause: There is a missing Root site collection...
    Resolution: Check and ensure,  that the “Managed Paths” are not changed in the web Application’s page, there is a (root) explicit for
    this web application and there is a working Root site collection.
    If for any reason this is not the case in your environment, you may try the following:
    - Apply (if not already) the following Hotfix to one of those clients:
    Error when you open a SharePoint Document Library in Windows Explorer or map a network drive to the library after you install Internet Explorer 10 in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2846960
    Then, try to delete the cache of the IE browser before reproducing the issue. Check the result..
    - Try to temporarily disable the Antivirus and test again.
    - Check if you have installed the Desktop Experience feature on the SPS13 server.
    - Check if you face this behavior with all users, Or only with some specific ones, Or with all different client OSes.. 
    Otherwise you will need to collect the logs to further analyze...

    Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

    Can you use PDF Pack to open and read PDF files?

    Hi Keith,
    PDF Pack is a conversion tool which would convert PDF to different formats and vice versa. It cannot be used for reading PDFs.
    If you want to open and read PDF file you can use Adobe Reader.
    You can download Adobe Reader from below mentioned link.

  • Open and print multiple files from the Finder all at once.

    I'm trying to research how to do this. In OS9 you used to be able to hi-lite multiple files (Word files for example) and just hit Command+P. This would automatically open all of the files AND print them.
    I can't seem to do this in my OS X. Or can I? I can hi-lite and go to File/Print, but the computer is only opening but not printing.
    Any suggestions??
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I don't know how to both "open and print" multiple files in one step. The ⌘O combination of course will open multiple items. The items remain selected so switching back to the "Finder" and dragging multiple icons onto the icon for "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Printer Setup Utility.app" seems to cause them all to be printed to the default printer.
    Alternatively, a user's "~/Library/Printers" folder contains printer icons -- I'm not sure what they are exactly, but they represent the printers set up for that account. They function pretty much like the pre-OS X "Desktop Printer" icons so dragging and dropping multiple files onto them should cause them to be printed. It may even be possible to create aliases to them on the "Desktop" to recreate "Desktop Printer" functionality. But again, this won't open the files into their applications.

    When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
    The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
    You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
    On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
    So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
    1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
    2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
    I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
    Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
    Best wishes,

  • I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it

    I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it?

    Here's an easy way:
    Pick the user that you want to eliminate (making sure that the remaining user has administrator privileges) and move all of the data that you want to keep into the Shared folder. Reboot or log out and login to the user you want to keep. Copy all the data from the Shared folder into your account - placing it neatly in folders (Documents, Music, Movies, etc.).
    Once the data is moved, log into the account you want to delete just once more to make certain that you've grabbed all the data you want to keep. Log out and log back into your admin account and go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the 'old' user.
    That should do it.
