Hi everyone!
Over the last days it appeared among my contact a new one with my same full name, a random personal pic and my mobile phone shown for calls. ...but that's not me!
I didn't add my mobile number to my Skype profile and I have never used Skype to call mobile phones. So how is this possible then? Who's this person? Was my account hacked or what else is it? What shall I do to protect my mobile number from being public?
Thank you in advance for your support.
L.

Hi, Lullu, and welcome to the Community!
First things first: change your account password immediately. Then, check your profile settings, make the necessary changes, click the "Save" check-marks beside each line item, and check your Skype Options to ensure all settings are on "My Contacts Only;" remember to click Save before you leave each window (sometimes I forget this simple step!).

Syncing contacts with my mac and my phone using isync

Hi
I have had a macbook for the past 7 months and have bee using isync on an irregular basis and with different mobile phones. So far it has been going well.
I have recently acquired a nokia 6230 and i have synced it with isync. I thought it had worked.
I realised the other day that a number of contacts are missing.
I went back to isync and tried to re-sync my phone to get the entries on my mac to be sent to my phone, but no. I sync seems to think that if a contact isn't present on my phone, then its not needed. The missing contacts are definatly on my mac (31 to be precise) and all i want to do is get them to be sent to my phone along with any other contacts i may add via address book in the future.
Any suggestions would be amazingly helpful!
Thanks a mil

ok fair play, you've helped hugely and its kinda impressive
its work, exceot for one slight problem, theres about 20 contacts that sync differently compared to the others. They appear with a dash before the name e.g. - John....
any ideas?? like its easy to fix but its just seriously annoying.
thanks a mil, great having people like yourself!!

Is there any way to sync my lotus notes calendar and contacts with the calendar and contacts on my MacBook Pro?

You would need to have enabled iCloud on your MBP. Your question indicated you did not.
Its serial number is useful for establishing ownership should the MBP be recovered. File a police report.

HT204150 Cannot save contacts with no name in iCloud in Outlook.

I cannot save contacts with no name in iCloud in Outlook. The error messages are generic. This is an issue, since most companies do not have a dedicated name to go to. iCloud was always bad with contacts with no name. The issue has gotten worse. Also, this is a defect, since before you could do this, and now you can do this in iPhone and web iCloud. This is one of many issues introduced by iCloud 3.

I now find these USA type errors are only on the Address Book that comes up on my iMac when I go to iCloud.com possibly because the iMac does not support iCloud
My iPad and iPhone4 seem to be syncing OK re Contacts on iCloud EXCEPT I have Duplicates and on my iPad I can see one Group relates to "iPad" while the second or Duplicates relates to " Unified"
Is there any way via my iPad that I can eliminate all Contacts from this "Unified" Group and thereby eeliminate the Duplicates?

My iphone 4 is losing telephone numbers at a rate of 2 or 3 a day from contacts. The name and emails remain. Why?

my iphone 4 is losing telephone numbers at a rate of 2 or 3 a day from contacts. The name and emails remain. Why?
It was happening before IOS 8 was launched

Hello there William Malmesbury,
It sounds like your Contacts app seems to be losing your contacts phone numbers, but the rest of the information is fine. If you don't already have a backup, I would create one either with iCloud or iTunes, or even both:
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you use iCloud I would use these steps from the following article:
Get help using iCloud Contacts
See if a contact is stored with iCloud or another service, such as Google or Yahoo:
Open Contacts and tap Groups in the upper-left corner.
Deselect the All [account] option for any third-party, such as Gmail or Yahoo.
Make sure All iCloud is selected.
View your contacts. If the contact isn't visible, then it exists in a third-party account.
You can import the contact from a third-party service into iCloud. iCloud won't sync contacts that are associated with a different service.
You need to make sure that iCloud is your default account for Contacts:
If you want new contacts to appear automatically on your devices.
If you're syncing contacts with multiple accounts on your device (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo) and recent changes to Contacts on your iOS device don't appear on your other devices.
See if iCloud is your default account:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
In the Contacts section, tap Default Account.
Make sure iCloud is selected.
Restart Contacts
Close and restart the Contacts app on your iOS device:
iOS 7:
Double-click the Home button to see your open apps.
Find the Contacts preview screen and swipe it up to close the app.
Press the Home button to return to your Home screen.
Wait a minute, then reopen the Contacts app.
Turn iCloud Contacts off and back on
Tap Settings > iCloud.
Turn Contacts off.
You can choose Delete from My [device] if your data exists at icloud.com/contacts and on one or more of your devices. Otherwise, choose Keep on My [device].
Wait a few minutes, then turn Contacts back on.
Restart your device
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button, then drag the slider when asked to power off. Turn your device back on.
If not, I would start by quitting all the running apps on your phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

How to separate two contact with same name

Hi, anyone knows how to separate two contacts with same name in Contacts? Actually they are two persons from two gmail contacts with same name but different contact numbers, different emails....etc, but Contacts assume they are same person and merge them as one!

FG,
In Lion, you have the File > Duplicate option. You will then have two copies of your document open, and the one on top will have the temporary filename "OriginalFileName copy", and your next responsibility is to File > Save (or Command-S) and rename the duplicate. At this point, you edit the copy's name, to perhaps ...copy 1, or whatever you wish. The document you had open when you initiated the File > Duplicate will still be there on your screen, waiting for you to Close it or continue editing.

Merge Emails Only group with matching Names and Emails group

Here's the situation:
I have a large list of conacts that are only email addresses and are in a group called Emails Only. I decided to upload the email address to LinkedIn and connect with the people that were in my email list to obtain their full name if they were on LinkedIn. Then, after I connected with a bunch of people, I exported my whole LinkedIn contacts back into my address book in a group I made called LinkedIn.
I then tried to merge my contacts. For some reason the LinkedIn group won't merge with the Email Only group. Shouldn't my address book realize there are multiple contacts with the same email address? Is it an issue that the Email Only list just has emails and no names?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Navgup,
Please refer to the script below, to query users in other domain by specifying the parameter "-Server" in the cmdlet "get-aduser", and also note I haven't tested the script below:
import-module activedirectory
get-adgroupmember "group"|foreach{
$email=(get-aduser $_.samaccountname -properties *).EmailAddress#get the user email
Get-ADUser -filter {EmailAddress -eq $email} -properties * -server DomainB.company.com|select samaccountname, memberof}#filter user name and group with the email in other domain
To get users across domain, please also refer this blog:
Adding/removing members from another forest or domain to groups in Active Directory:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/adpowershell/archive/2010/01/20/adding-removing-members-from-another-forest-or-domain-to-groups-in-active-directory.aspx?Redirected=true
I hope this helps.

How do you get a list of your contacts nick names and their phone numbers on line and print them out?

How do you get a list of your contacts nick names and their phone numbers on line and print them out? I've been trying to figure out how to get the list to print out but I can't even find a complete list to view on Verizon's web site. Does anyone know how to do this?

Log into your online account. In the, 'I want to', box type, Manage Contacts.
Place your cursor over any contact, a pop screen will appear with the option to print your contacts

"File with specified name and version number already exists. Result code= -48." ...????

Recently I have been getting this error message when I try to record an audio track in Logic... "File with specified name and version number already exists. Result code = -48." WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?????? It's making me furious!

Hi
As the message says, there is a file at the recording directory that has the same name:

Try changing the name of the track (this sets the filename in later versions of Logic 9

Error: There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied

I've been trying to copy (and essentially move) the contents of an NTFS-formatted external HDD to my iMac's internal HDD so I can then format the external HDD to Mac OS Extended. However, when I simply try to drag and drop, I get an error during the transfer that states:
There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied.
I tried a basic cp command in Terminal to copy all contents of the external HDD to a folder on my iMac's desktop, and found that while there were no errors, there were many individual files missing full chunks of data (ie. original file would be 4GB on my external HDD, but only 350MB on my desktop).
Any ideas on how I can successfully copy a large amount of data (approx. 170GB) from my external HDD to my internal HDD while avoiding this error, so I can ultimately format my external HDD to Mac OS Extended? ANY help is greatly appreciated.

That's not a good error to see. It indicates something is very wrong. Pulled out of an old programming header file:
ioErr = -36, /*I/O error (bummers)*/
If Apple labelled it "bummers," they had a good reason! Unfortunately, that doesn't bode well for you.
Try running Disk Utility again. Keep repairing over and over until one of two things happens: 1) Disk Utility says no repair was needed, or 2) Disk Utility reports the same error in two sequential repair sessions and is unable to repair it both times.
If you hit the second case, or if you hit the first but still can't copy files, then you've got two basic options:
= Buy a third-party disk utility or two and try them. Try TechTool as a first choice.
= Recover what files you can and write the rest off as gone.
= Send your drive to a data recovery service and hope they can extract more than you can.
Of course, none of this is necessary if you have a backup of the contents of that hard drive. (If you don't, this is your learning experience. Once bitten, twice shy, so they say.) Also, regardless of the outcome, once you've got your data or have decided it's gone, you're going to want to wipe that drive completely clean. Reformat the drive with Disk Utility, then when it's done, select the drive in Disk Utility and hit command-i. (Don't select the new volume you just created on that drive, select the drive itself. Mine looks like "232.9 GB Hitachi ..." with the volume name indented underneath.) Look for an item that says S.M.A.R.T. Status, and if it doesn't say Verified, you might as well throw out the drive. Don't trust any more data to it.
If all appears safe, you can start moving data back onto it. But, as always, make sure you have a backup of everything!

Srvrmgr syntax: how can I create Named Subsystem with both Name and Description values?

In looking through bookshelf, there is no syntax discussed that allows you to include both the Name value and the Description value for a Named Subsystem/Profile Configuration. In the screenshot, the circled values were created with the server manager command-line.
In contrast, you can create a component definition with a Name (full name) and Description.
For CompDef, this works:
create component definition CompDefTest1_enu for component type AppObjMgr component group Fins run mode Interactive full name "Test Comp Def Test 1" description "Test 1 Object Manager CompDef"
For Named Subsytem, this does NOT work:
create named subsystem Test5 for subsystem EAITransportDataHandlingSubsys full name "Test 5" description 'Test 5 Description'
Can anyone tell me if, for a Named Subsytem, there is a proper syntax to include both the Name and Description values in the command-line, or is the only way to manually create it in the UI?

Hi,
I have reviewed the help for create command in srvrmgr, it does not give the full name and description as parameters for subsystem creation. However, as you indicated these parameters are available for component definition creation:
srvrmgr> help create
create { component group | compgrp } <component group name>
       [ full name <descriptive name> ]
       [ { description | desc } <description of component group> ]
create { component definition | compdef } <component definition name>
       for { component type | comptype } <component type name>
           { component group | compgrp } <component group name>
       run mode { batch | interactive | background }
       [ full name <descriptive name> ]
       [ { description | desc } <description of component definition> ]
       [ with [param <param_name>=<value>[, <param_name>=<value>...]]
              [fixparam <fixed_param_name>=<fixed_value>[,...]]]
create named subsystem <named_subsystem_name> for
       subsystem <subsystem_name> with <param_name>=<param_value> [, ..]
Bookshelf also has an example of subsystem creation that does not include full name and description:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14004_01/books/StoreFwdMsg/StoreFwdMsg_InstallConfig14.html#wp1351472
In this case I suggest you to create a ticket on My Oracle Support to confirm that srvrmgr does not support creating a new subsystem with full name and description parameters, and request an enhancement request for these parameters to be included in create statement for new subsystems when using srvrmgr.
Hope it helps,
WSiebel

Syncing devices contacts with i cloud and getting different results

i have 2 iphones and an imac and i am syncing contacts with i cloud and i am getting 3 different counts of contacts on each device. any thoughts on what goes wrong?

At this point I recommend you try deleting, then re-creating the iCloud account on your phone. Sometimes this will restart difficult syncing problems. You won't lose any data by doing this.
Start by saving any photo stream photos on your phone that you want to keep to the camera roll (unless they are already there). To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then after a minute or so, sign back in. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your phone, but not from iCloud. Your data will reappear on your phone when you sign back in, although there may be a slight delay as it redownloads. Then check your contact groups and see if this fixed things. If so, repeat this process on your iPad.

How can I sync my pc contacts with my ipad and iphone?

How can I sync my pc contacts with my ipad and iphone?

Do you normally sync via iTunes and your computer? If so, there's an option in iTunes - that you see as you plug each device in - to sync contacts. If you don't normally sync via iTunes you can download and use the iCloud control panel and use that to sync your contacts.

You should be able to connect to their computer via your USB cable, copy the video over using Windows Explorer and the PC should be able to view it without any conversion.
When you do this, make sure they don't have iTunes set to automatically open and automatically sync when an iOS device is connected.
