Spontaneous or unintentional creation of Groups, which cannot be deleted

In Address Book in the Group column there suddenly appeared about 20-25 icons of new Groups without (so far as I know) any action on my part. These Groups cannot be deleted, whether I assign a name to them, or not. When I go to "Edit/Delete Group" and the confirmation box then appears, clicking on "Delete" has no effect and the application freezes up. If I quit Address Book, it can be re-opened with the new Group symbols still in place. But the problem continues.

Thank you Leroy.  I couldn't see how to post it before.  I believe I have determined that it was some sort of Excel artifact which wouldn't behave.  I have deleted a variety of recent Excel workbooks (not needed) and it seems to have gone away via a reboot.  If it returns, I will certainly post a screen shot.  Thanks for trying to help me out.  Very frustrating when something won't respond no matter what you do.  Jim Robbins

  • Trying to import photos from iPhone 5, windows explorer present many icons of local disks which cannot be deleted

    Trying to import photos from iPhone 5, windows explorer present many icons of local disks which cannot be deleted
    for some reason there are many folders in the iPhone for pictures

    I have been having the same issues with my devices (iphone4s & Ipad and Ipad mini) NOT importing photos to my PC via windows 7. Too be honest, i am sick and tired of looking for a fix. I have spent days on this and now realise via forums that this issue is widespread. (deja vu - remember notes vanishing?)
    I have tripled checked everything but the platform just simply does not work.
    So, i will get offered various 'hunches' as to how to fix this...but hold on..after paying over £1,000 for the equipment why should i have to go find a fix...basically ...yet again...Apple products not delivering what they promise and are flawed. Gather im pretty p**sed about this...you betya...will i buy Apple again...?? take a guess.

  • Why does CS6 window spontaneously collapse to a small window which cannot be resized?

    I run Dreamweaver on both Mac and PC, mostly the PC. This problem has just been experienced on the PC (Windows 7 running on a Mac using Parallels). This phenomenon occurs when trying to move or resize the DW window. It has also occurred when trying to open a webpage by double clicking on it. The smaller window that results cannot be resized so I have to quit the program and restart it. When restarted it is still a small window but this version (which looks a bit different, too) can be resized. I have searched the web for discussions about this but to no avail.

    I've never encountered this.
    Some things to try:
    Try changing your Work Space (upper right corner of interface).

  • Company user - how to stop creation of groups??

    Hi all,
    I am using the standard company user feature for enabling the approval of the new user registrations in the portal.
    I have set "ume.tpd.companies = 1" , i.e. One company option. This will enable the approval process for the new user registrations.
    But this will create a new group for every new company name which a new user gives while registering. For example, if user A is registering who is from XYZ company-then this will create a new group named "SA_XYZ" in the portal and add user A to that new group and if there is already a group existing with that name, then it will add him to that group to that group directly.
    My problem is that I dont want this group creation to happen. Is there any way of stopping this creation of groups, but still have the approval process in place.
    If any one has worked on this earlier,please help me in this.
    Regards,
    Narahari

    I have found the solution,
    I have used the user exit RV60AFZC and put a check in there to see if for the returns sales order delviery is created and  Post goods receipt is done for the same.
    This check works at the time of using VF01 transaction.
    If no post goods receipt is done it will give an error message.

  • How can we change the purchasing group which it is maintained in R/3?

    Hello All.
    In case of MM, purchasing group is assigned to material master.
    It means purchasing group is maintained based on material code.
    But SRM has different maintenance level.
    As you know that purchasing group has the responsibility based on material group (Product category).
    So we should change the purchasing group from R/3, when end user create shopping cart.
    How can we change the purchasing group which it is maintained in material master?
    Thank you,
    Best regards,
    SH.

    Hello So Hee,
    I am not a technical guy.
    But for your requirement i am building a logic.
    I am not sure whether it will work.
    You need to check with your ABAPER.
    It is as below:
    When the SC is approved and the other configuration is correct ,
    PR is created in ECC by the virtue of BAPI.
    You want that the pur grp should be populated on the base of matl code and not on matl grp.
    Hence in SC you will not fill up pur grp.
    In the programme for BBPSC01 i.e. SC creation you will add modification that it will call a custom FM.
    This custom FM will get the matl code from SC and will find the value of pur grp from R/3 MM01i.e. matl master(you may get in MARA).
    Now in the BAPI you need to incorporate this additional value of yr pur grp field.
    So the desired pur grp as per yr R/3 matl master will be populated in yr R/3 PR.
    Again: this is all hypothesis.
    That's all I can help you.

  • There is a view named &gantt chart in this project which cannot be overwritten

    Hello,
    I'm using Project Server 2007 SP2. While opening a plan, we are getting the following error
    "There is a view named &gantt chart in this project which cannot be overwritten"
    However, we are not getting the same error for other plan. Is there any changes to be done in the enterprise Global? How to rectify the error? Kindly help.
    Thanks!

    Sandhya987 --
    In addition to Guillaume's excellent answer, you should know that this problem was not caused by the project manager.  The problem was caused solely by the actions of the Project Server administrator.  The Enterprise Global file is reserved for
    ONLY enterprise views, tables, filters, and groups.  For example, there is a default enterprise view named Enterprise Gantt Chart and there is a default enterprise table named Enterprise Entry.  The Project Server administrator should NEVER add local
    views to the Enterprise Global, such as the Gantt Chart, Resource Sheet, etc.
    So, how did the Gantt Chart view end up in the Enterprise Global?  I doubt the Project Server administrator did this intentionally.  Instead, my guess is that he/she applied the regular Gantt Chart view while he/she had the Enterprise Global file
    open for editing.  If the Project Server administrator applies any local view (such as the Gantt Chart view) while he/she has the Enterprise Global file open for editing, Microsoft Project COPIES that view and its default table into the Enterprise Global
    file.  So, if he/she applies the Gantt Chart view while he/she has the Enterprise Global file open, Microsoft Project copies BOTH the Gantt Chart view AND the Entry table into the Enterprise Global file, thus polluting the Enterprise Global file with
    a local view and table.
    To clean up the pollution, keep in mind that your Project Server administrator will need to delete all local view AND all local tables as well.  As the article indicates, as cited by Guillaume, the problem you are facing is a common one, so welcome
    to the club!  :)
    Hope this extra helps.

    Our Apple ID is ok and functioning.  However, I just came on as the IT for the group and cannot find how to change the name.

    Assuming you mean the personal name associated with the account, as opposed to the login (which you can change if it's not an @icloud.com. @me.com or @mac.com address) you can change this at http://appleid.appla.com . Click on 'Manage your account' and then on 'Edit' next to 'Your name' and the name currently associated with the ID.

  • Crystal Report error - "the group section cannot be printed..."

    Hello to everyone.
    I have a CR report based on a database view.
    Everything is ok when i run the report in the CR designer but choosing the option to preview the report or run it from the SAP Business One (8.81 PL 08) i get an error:
    "the group section cannot be printed because its condition field is nonexistent or invalid. Format the section to choose another condition field. Error in file "the Report name".rpt. Invalid group condition".
    i must say that this happens in all my reports where i have group data. Also i must say that all those reports were ok some days before...
    Is there a way for me to know what field is it refering to?
    I have verified the DB and it is pointing correctly and the also the View returns data.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello Gordon,
    thanks for your response. the reports were working fine until 8.81 PL05
    We have upgraded the customer from PL05 - > PL08 a week ago.
    Do you think that maybe this is the problem?
    Thanks in advance

  • Cant install or uninstall Adobe Air. Keep getting error message "This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found"

    I am running Windows 7 and use Adobe AIR for Flixster.  When I tried to open Flixster I recieved an error message saying i needed to install Adobe AIR.  I looked and saw that according to control panel, Adobe AIR is installed.  I attempted to uninstall but get this EXACT message:
    "This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found.  Please download the latest version of the runtime from http://www.adobe.com/go/getair, or contact the application author for an updated version."
    I have tried going to the mentioned website but i get an error message saying installation failed and may need administrative privilages but I AM the administrator! 
    I then tried multiple solutions on the forums including the command prompt uninstall and still no luck.  contacted customer support who told me i can only receive assistance through these forums.
    Very frustrating.  Please Help.

    I have the same issue with a customer of ours:
    Try to uninstall AIR – same message.  (When I reinstall,  the install says it’s successful.) I try to run our app, same message. I downloaded another AIR app, same message – so it’s not our app it’s AIR.  We logged in as Administrator, same message.  It’s a Windows7 machine. I did a system restore to 2 days ago and started over and still the same issues. I tried running the Windows Fixit to uninstall https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall – didn’t work.

  • Error with iTunes "The iPod Group Storage cannot be used with iTunes...."

    I bought a usb hub to accomodate my multiple usb devices. I plugged my iPod into this and got the following error:
    "The iPod Group Storage cannot be used with iTunes because it is not formatted properly."
    I plugged the iPod into the computer rather than the hub. Same thing
    Tried to restore, per the error message's direction. It says it has restored it to factory settings, then it brings up that message again.
    I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes. Same thing. It was playing fine but it needs re-charging now and it won't because of the error.
    Does anyone have any ideas? I don't know what to do now.
    Thanks.

    Try to reset your iPod using the recovery mode as described in this support article
    However, this will erase the iPod completely. If you have an iTunes-backup on your computer you can restore your iPod settings later from the backup.
    I have never tried this in WIndows, however. The procedure might be slightly differeent.

  • All numeric items are summing up, also items which cannot be summed up

    i use numeric items (e.g. analysis #) at cross table layout at datapoint place.
    when i drill up from left axis, all numeric items are summing up, also the items which cannot be summed up - its not correct.
    how can i avoid to summary up these number colums.
    Desktop-Client 9.0.2.54.01
    Discoverer Administrator-Client 9.0.2.54.01

    This items already not defined as data points in the admin, however I used these on desktop client as data points.
    But there is now an interesting detail: not always all detail lines are summarized on problematic items (e.g. only 2 of 7), but on all other data the detail and sum data are correct.
    Now I checked the SQL-statement and found out, there are some results with more than one rows (different date in same row header on the left side) . The problem because i do not found it, is that, the different time is already a part of an selection parameter in the headline (year,month,day).
    Possible solution: I give the date to the left side additionally.
    Thanks to Russ and Marcos.
    Best regards,
