View of Contacts surname, first name NOT first name, surname

Required is the view of contacts with surname, first name.
This is impossible to adjust and a No-Go for business.

While that is currently not possible in the contact listing view, it could be updated in a future upgrade. I hope it will be.

HT2490 how do i have my contacts display alphabetically by first name not last name

How can I have my contact list sorted alphabeticially by first name (like on my iphone) and not by last name.
Thanks!

On your menu bar with AddressBook open choose AddressBook menu item > General tab > "Sort by" should be an option?"

Why does my iPhone 5 show one specific contact's number only, & not their name? Help?

I have an iPhone 5 and it will not show my girlfriend's name or info whenever she calls or texts oddly enough (as if I do not have her in my phone to begin with). She has an iphone so our messages are through iMessage. I have attempted to re-add her numerous times as well as resetting all settings.

It has a 1 year warranty. Make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in for them to have a look at it. If it's defective, they'll replace it.

Save For Web - saves original file name not new name

Hello, when I use Save for Web with slice(s) the original file name (appended with the slice number) gets saved even though I have changed the file name in the save dialog. This only happens about 50% of the time. Sometimes it saves as expected - with the new file name. I am using the default settings in the save dialog all the time.
Stranger is that if I am saving (for Web) say 10 slices some will be named with the original file name and some will be saved with the name I gave it in the save dialog.
This was happening on my Windows XP sp2 system when I was saving to an Ubuntu server (local network). So when I switched to a new computer running windows 7 and saving to a new server (windows 7 pro) I thought it might fix the problem - but it has not. So there must be a setting I am missing - though that does not account for the intermittency of the problem. I have changed settings under "custom" in the save dialog and things do change except the original file name is persistent not the new name I have given it.
The PSD files come from a designer using a Mac.
My system:
PS 10.01
Windows 7
AMD x2 duo 250
4 gig Ram
Thank you for any help you may provide

I made an action to save large batches to a designated "pics" folder. Then when I'm done with a big batch, I just move them to the original folder and let the OS overwrite them. May seem like a lot of work, but I can do a batch of 500 gallery thumbnails in about four minutes and it takes about 30 seconds to move them and replace the originals.

Artist Name not Album Name

Hi,
Is there a way to setup iTunes music by artist and not the album title?
Thank you

Hi,
I worded the question wrong, sorry. It was the right answer per this question however, thanks. I had contacted iPhone support earlier today regarding why when I sync the iPhone with iTunes I cannot always locate my songs by the artist and not the album title.
This makes no sence. After my restore three songs were missing, it seemed. They were there under the album title and not the artist as it was previously. I am looking to change this back to artist on the iPhone 4s and are stumped as how this works.
Thank you,
Mohegan

DNS Name not Sharing Name

Howdy all,
I've been noticing and have been dealing with until now that the entry in the DNS Name column doesn't always report accurate.
For example
I have a laptop/desktop named Comp-Mac28-UserName in the Sharing Preferences' Computer Name Field.
ARD reports in it's Name field the same from the Sharing Prefs' as above.
However in the DNS Name, I get one of either the :
• correct name
• Unknown
• blank (as in white space and not the word blank)
• another machine's name (oddly enough, a Windows machine)
Has anyone seen, dealt with this bug, annoyance or feature?
Thanks in advance.
-p

I believe this is due to the TTL (Time To Live) for DNS entries. We just moved over to VLans here and all the machines are grabbing new DHCP IP numbers. Because of this as new computers are moved over they are grabbing numbers of other systems that have been turned off for a while. The old DNS name still exists on that IP. Use Network Utility to see what DNS names are associated with that IP. I bet that more than one name is on that IP number.

SQLAlwaysOn 2012-Query server name shows NODE name not Cluster name

Hi guys,
I just finished setting up my SQLAlwaysOnLab for our Development team. I'm having an issue understanding the AlwaysOn HA feature.... When I run the "SELECT @@SERVERNAME AS 'Server
Name'" The result show the local server name and not the ClusterName or the Availabilty Group Listener name. We need it to show the actual Cluster name or AG Listner game. Our 2008 r2 2005 clustering we have a shared storage cluster
and we setup the config services and application, so when i run a query in that environment it shows "NTS-PROD"(not the clustername). Which is what we want.. Thanks for any input at all! My dev config below:
CLustername=ADM034SQLC050
3 nodes in the cluster bellow: ADM034SQL051, ADM034SQL052, ADM034SQL053

Hello,
Edwin is correct, this is the expected and correct behavior as it's returning the current server that it is executing on.
What you could do is create a function that could be executed to return the value you want inside of the databases involved in the AGs. That would give you what you want, but the built in functions are working correctly.
Edit:
I wanted to expand on what I wrote and qualify it a little more so that it adds some extra information and understanding.
With a clustered instance, the servername will come back with the clustered instance name. This is because when using clustering, the resource for this is setup both at the SQL Server level (by choosing setup as a clustered instance) and at a windows level
(resources in the cluster). In a cluster, each instance has a VCO (virtual computer object) created for it in AD and that is actually what is used, so servername comes back with the VCO as we would expect.
This differs with AGs. AG instances are locally installed instances and they can be connected to without using a listener (in fact a listener isn't even needed for AGs). Listeners exist ONLY at the windows level as a resource, there is no VCO associated
with a listener or any other AG resource. Each instance can be connected to just like you would any other stand alone instance. In this situation SERVERNAME returns the name of the server that it is currently on as there is nothing special about these servers.
The clustering is only done at the windows layer and SQL Server installation are simply stand alone.

Source name not file name

Hi Everyone...
Lost and replaced a drive... Now I need to recapture...
But then the ensuing dialogue informs me (for every selected offline clip) that another file called " " already exists.
Sure enough, the clips' item properties tell me their source file name is " " (as in blank)
I can get around this through the dialogue sequence, but I have to retype the name of file " " as part of the capturing sequence.
So the question basically is: how do I change the name of the 'source', without too much headache?
I've had this before when drives played up... And a real headache it was, too...
Thanks, David

LOL.
That XML solution is something you can't test until you get a project like David has.
A client had one recently in which the Source name for almost all the clips in the Browser was 'Mac OS'. Therefore, when he'd try to batch capture, he'd get lots of Duplicate Filename error messages, and there was no solution until I tried the XML thing.
After I exported to XML, I looked at the raw XML file, and it still showed the 'Mac OS' Source names (you have to enable the Source column in the Browser BEFORE you export to XML to have that column of data show up in the XML file.) But after I did the Import into a new project's Browser, the Source filenames were all corrected. It was like magic.
If anyone would like to see this work, I still have my client's project, and could Email it out. My Email address is in my Profile.

Ethernet Interface en0 name not DNS name???

When I look in the server admin all of a sudden (we did just recently put the server outside of the firewall due to SIP issues) now my server no longer reflects the correct FQDN in the General Settings/Network tab. Instead it shows the generic ISP name. Any ideas?

It should work anyway but the server needs to go to root servers to look up all other domains.
To avoid that you can put in ISP DNS as forwarders to speed up lookups.
In the Leopard DNS GUI there is now an option to do so.
Forwarders offload lookups from your server to whichever DNS you can use as forwarder DNS.
To test if a DNS will work as a forwarder from your public IP (ISP DNS should "always" work):
host <IP or name you want to lookup - use something "remote" like www.apple.com> <DNS IP you want to test>
It's important to test a domain or IP that isn't part of the ISP range/domain or you might be fooled to think it works for all domains.

Photo view in contacts?

Is there a way to see your photos you have for your contacts when viewing your contact list? If not that would be a nice feature to add.

Why is my screen name not displayed?

Hello,
When I signed up for the community forums I selected a screen name but my full name, not screen name, shows up when I post a question. I don't see full names displayed for any other users, why does my full name show up? How can this be fixed?

Your full name shows only to you; we see your screen name of packetstar.
Use the drop-down next to your user name at the top of the page and select Edit Profile, then Your Profile and Privacy tabs if you want to tweak your settings.

First name and last name order in contact list

Actually, my contact list is displayed with the last name before the first name, but everything is fine in Address Book settings (I choosed "First name, Last name" option), and I checked that first name and last name has not been reversed for some reasons between two fields, the first name is right in place, as is the last name.
So changing this is AddressBook has no effect.
I tried disabling Chax, without success.
It could be possible this problem occured when I enabled Microsoft Exchange address book synchronization, (iSync reported 500+ changes in AB database, I did it anyway and noticed no problems in data after synchronization (I still have a backup :-))
One more thing , the displayed name in the iChat menu extra is correct.
So, what could possibly change this behavior I did not already check ?

Hi Yann,
If you add details to the Address card in iChat as you add a Buddy then you need the first set of instructions I posted.
You nee this menu in iChat http://www.flickr.com/photos/90943061@N00/135575605/
In the second section of this menu you can sort the list.
<hr>
Ahhh. I see what you mean.
iChat does in fact always display First Name, Last Name as you say.
Adding a Buddy with the names in the reverse order to display as you want in iChat your Address book gets messed up as it is not consistent with those contacts that are not iChat Buddies.
The only work around I can see is to change all the Address Book entries to match a reverse entry in iChat and then use the Address Book option to display Last Name, First name to show them the 'correct' Fist name, Last name and have them in Last name, First name in iChat.

6233 Search contact in last name AND first name

Hi,
the 6233 does not search Contacts in both first names AND last names. It only searches only in what come first.
Exemple : searching for "Paul" does not find "Smith Paul"
Do I need a firmware update to fix this ??
Thanks for your answer !

Hi Chen,
Based on my knowledge, there is no related method to enforce all users using More Columns as the default search option in Outlook Address Book. We can just change the search option for individual Outlook user by remembering the last search using as I mentioned
above.
Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for your understanding.

Address book sync with google contacts - first names and last names flipped

Hi,
I am trying to sync my mac address book with my contacts in google/gmail and I have a strange issue. All my contacts written in english alphabet is syncing correctly, but when I have names in Korean characters, the last name and first name gets flipped. Without fail. All other fields seem to synch correctly, but the first name is mapped to the last name field, and vice versa. I have recently upgraded to OS X Lion on an iMac.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Jay

can anyone answer this?
at some point, I remember being able to do this. 10.5.x maybe? With 10.6 . . . .
I do recall, however, that I stopped doing it because the sync went haywire. I did it the other way around: I have all my contacts in Address Book, so I exported them and uploaded the vCards to Gmail, after deleting all Gmail contacts. That's not such a great option. Surely this is well-automated by now?
