What determines the order in which phone numbers are displayed in address book/contacts on Mac and iPad/iPhone?

I may have "Work, Home, Skype, Work Fax" (for example) order in Adress Book on my Mac, but there is no gurantee, apparently, that this order will be preserved across entries on my iPad and iPhone.  In some entries I might get "Home, Work, Skype, Work Fax" while others might have "Work, Skype, Home, Work Fax".  Even with just Work and Home, the ordering is not consistent.  Can I force a specific order?

Having the same problem.  Have iPad and iPhone, both running ios5, both sync to the cloud, and data entered on one soon shows up like magic on the other.  But Lion MacBook Pro refuses to join in the dance.  Contacts and calendar entries on the mbp don't show up in either the ipad or iphone.  I have the same account login info setup on all three devices, and as much as I can tell, preferences set up correctly.  Oddly enough, when I am in the mbp cloud preference pane, and click on the ? for help, it tells me it can't give me help because it is not connected to the internet.  Well, it clearly IS connected to the internet.  Don't know if that is related to the non-syncing or not, but it is a little strange.  A little bit of operating manual for cloud would be helpful.

  • What is the order in which I must change my Apple ID on all my Mac products:iTunes, iCloud for iphone-MacIntel- MacAirbook

    I wish to change my email account on my AppleID. But I am faced with having to go back and forth between old and new emails/accounts to get ALL my Mac products changed to the new email address. I have needed to delete acounts, and then reset accounts back to the old account to only re-delete or re-set.
    Is there a specific order in which to do update all my Mac products? What item do I reset first, what product follows the next? I do not have an ipad but might as well add it to the list for when I do get one and have to do this all again.
    What I have done so far-
    My apple ID is  currently set to the original email account (aol) that I wish to delete.
    my icloud on my iphone has been deleted
    my iTunes is set to the old aol account
    Now... what item gets changed first, second.....

    First verify that your existing Apple ID password conforms to these rules:
    If not, change your Apple ID password first.
    To change your password read Apple ID: Changing your password
    Then, sign out of all the Apple services on all your Apple products. Use the link in Step 8 of this document as a checklist to make sure you do all of them:
    Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
    The order in which you change your Apple ID does not matter.
    Subsequent to changing your Apple ID read and follow:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID

  • What is the order in which implementaions of a BADI be executed??

    Hi Frnds,
                  If i have more than one implementation for a BADI, what is the order in which they will be executed.
    Regards,
    Navin.

    Hi,
        abt <b>enhancement ponts</b> in simple language
    They are POINTS in standard sap program
    (eg. Before Saving data, Before Displaying Data)
    where some other BADI/Include/Form
    is called.
    In this called badi/include/form,
    the customer can write his own code
    eg. for validation purpose etc.
    2. By doing so,
    the standard sap program need not be changed.
    Only the badi/fm/include/form
    needs to be changed.
    Enhancement-Point is a part of the new enhancement framework. He is some lite reading.

  • Phone numbers are no longer showing up on my email and text as links to call

    Phone numbers are no longer showing up in my messages and on my emails as links so that I can call the number directly.

    I too am having the same problem, and use the *228 then killing all my open apps solution to bring my numbers back to the correct format.  However, as just a one time fix, I keep on getting the same problem again after a few weeks, and last week, after a few days of doing the *228 fix.  Does anyone know what is causing this problem on Verizon iPhones?  As a point of information, I was previously on AT&T with my iPhones until my wife transferrred me over to Verizon (on her business account because she wanted to surprise me with a new iPhone 4S).

  • What determines the order of label in a label stack?

    Suppose there is a PE router,take part in igp mpls,bgp ipv4 with label,vpnv4 and TE.Then when a packet pass the LSR from CE,the LSR will put several label on the packet.Then comes the question:How can the router determine the order of these labels when puting them on the packet.
    I think there's two possibal answers:
    first,it is define by some document,that's an arbitrary answer;
    second,it is relate to the packet process flow.
    I wonder what is the truth.I need some detailed explain or document.thanks!

    The idea behind the stack is derived by the need to have multiple forwarding tables for the under lying forwarding planes.
    1) What this means is each router as pointed by you can have multiple protocols which may be utilizing MPLS labels for data forwarding. MPLS TE will have labels of its own via RSVP to forward data on TE tunnels, VPNs will have VPN labels to forward VPN data across via MPBGP, Global routes would have labels allocated by LDP to forward data between LSR's.
    2) This essentially creates multiple forwarding tables. Now where and how does the label stack come into picture, this can be answered by answering a simple question.
    3) Where did the MPBGP get the label from for the VPN, from the IBGP nexthop, now is there any label to reach the next hop yes, there is via LDP, hence you get a label stack.
    So whenever you build a forwarding table for any plane through a existing LSP then you have a label stack.
    For eg: if you have a VPN label learnt via a LDP LSP which in turn is built via a MPLS TE LSP then you have a 3 label stack. (the lowermost being VPN since it was learnt through a next hop reachable via LDP label, which in turn was connected till the next hop via multiple TE tunnels.)
    On the converse if you have a MPLS TE tunnel running between the PE's end-to-end you need not run LDP at all and the label stack to forward data across would be consiting of a VPN label and a TE label only.

  • ADF: controlling the order in which VO records are inserted

    All,
    in an ADF BC project, we have some complex MD insert pages that add records to master and detail tables at the same time. The application sits on top of CDM RuleFrame, which exposes the datamodel as DB views with instead-of triggers and adds (Designer) a few nifty things like auto-populated PK fields. Sad enough, we can't use these auto-generated PKs as the 'refresh after insert' settings in an EO work with a RETURNING clause, which is not supported for instead-of triggers. This means we'll have to find the PK sequences ourselves from the EOs and populate these fields ourselves, before committing to the database. So far so good, but things go wrong when we want to insert master and detail at the same time. The PK and FK of the child record are already filled in at insert time (which is nice) but for some reason the child records get inserted before the parents, resulting in an error on the FK as the parent record does not yet exist (which is not nice).
    So, here's the question: is there a way to control the order in which new VO records are inserted ? On what is the default order based (maybe a little renaming could help us out to get the alphabet our way) ?
    We know defining the FKs as 'initially deferred' will make sure they are only checked at commit time, but our DBA prefers to not use that solution unless strictly necessary. (is there anything bad about deferred keys why we should believe him? ;o) )
    And additionally, is there a way around all this manual PK-fetching ? We've tried using the refresh(int refreshMode) method of EntityImpl, but it didn't seem to work.
    Many thanks in advance for your tips, suggestions and solutiosn !
    Best regards,
    Benjamin De Boe

    Benjamin,
    To handle the problem with the child/parent records being inserted in the wrong order - have a read of the Oracle ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL developers, section 26.7. I use that technique with great success.

  • JSTL Change the order in which children tags are processed

    Hi there,
    Is there any way one can manipulate the order in which tags are executed/processed within for example an iteration tag? I.e. let's say I have the following:
    <m:my_iterate_tag data="data">
      <dotag1>XX</dotag1>
      <dotag2>YY</dotag2>
    </m:my_iterate_tag/>The user can set as a preference in my application that they want <dotag2> to
    be displayed/executed first before <dotag1>, e.g. like in a column in a table. How can I change
    the order of these tags when I execute the <m:my_iterate_tag>? Do I do it in
    <m:my_iterate_tag> or is there another or better way? Please help.
    Thanks,
    Marius Botha

    Okay, lets start with getting the order in which to display columns... So you say:
    get the order of these columns from the db (e.g. client
    says 1=title, 2=number, don't display "type" column)Based on the DB, then, create a java.util.List that would have the column names in the order they want... (not real code...)
    ArrayList columnOrder = ["title", "number"]
    When you get to iter_tag:table.doStartBody, then create a java.util.HashMap (lets say) called tableColumnData.
    Then in the iter_tag:column tag, you would the value provided in the tag mapped to the property name as the key in the tableColumnData map:
    tableColumnData.put("number", <this iteration's number value>);
    tableColumnData.put("title", <the value returned from the g:href tag>);
    tableColumnData.put("type", <anything>);
    Then, in the iter_tag:table.doEndBody, you do a loop, getting the name of the column to display from the columnOrder list, and using that name to pull the value out of the tableColumnData map:
        for (int i = 0; i < columnOrder.size(); i++) {
            out.println("<td>" + tableColumnData.get(columnOrder.get(i)) + "</td>");
        }You would put the columnOrder in a scope where you won't have to relaod it all the time, like maybe the user's session. You would put the tableColumnDataMap to make sure it is unique to the table... either in the pageContext, or store it in the iter_tag and make a method where the nested tags can retrieve it.

  • Lion has changed the order in which Finder items are sorted in Icon View; Acc vs. Desc.  How can you change this order?

    The order in which items are sorted has changed in Lion and I can't figure out how, or if, it can be changed.  Previously in Snow Leopard if you sorted by 'Date' in Icon View, your icons would be arranged from oldest to newest.  The same was true for 'Kind' and all the order sort options.  In Kind my *.zip files were positioned last.
    Now in Lion, the order is reversed.  Newest and Zips on top... the accending vs. decnding order has been changed.  How can I change the sort order in Icon View?

    I managed to fix the reverse order issue by deleting the com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.finder.plist.lockfile in the user library folder. I did have to use terminal to delete the files and then re-launch finder from the force quit window. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
    Hold down the option key while selecting the Go menu. Select Library.
    Navigate to the Preferences.
    Find the com.apple.finder.plist.lockfile and delete it.
    Open Terminal (Application/Utilites)
    In Terminal type in sudo rm (include a space after the rm and do not hit enter)
    Drag com.apple.finder.plist file to the terminal window. It will fill in the path to the file)
    Press return.
    Type in your password and hit return. (The cursor will not move when you type in your password)
    From the Apple menu, select force quit.
    Highlight finder and select re-launch.
    Be careful when using Terminal. There is no undo button and you can accidentally delete important files.
    I hope this helps.

  • Phone Sync w/subset of Address Book Contacts?

    Hi-
    I have roughly 1500 contacts in Address Book. Is there any way to Sync only a subset - ideally a Smart Group? The window in iSync says All Contacts, but is a drop window, indicating other possibilities.
    What am I missing?
    iMac g4 800   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   Moto E815

    I have exactly the same need: to sync a small subset of my large address book with my phone. Only manually created Address Book groups appear as syncable groups in iSync - my carefully crafted Smart Groups don't show up, even after restarts, clean Address Book imports, etc.
    Is this a bug? A missing feature? Or desired behavior?
    (BTW, did you mean "Smart Groups" when you wrote "Smart Folders"?)

  • Is there any rhyme or reason to order in which app updates are displayed?

    I posted this on the iPhone forum a while ago, with no useful response. I'm asking again here, because it is equally applicable to iPad.
    Is it completely random, or is there an order I am unaware of? I would expect to see app updates displayed by date, i.e. most current updates shown a top of list, but I can find no such pattern or any other hierarchy. Thanks.

    I don't know if this response is useful or if it is the answer that you are seeking, but the updates are supplied by the developers so whenever an update is available, it appears on your iPad in the app store icon. These are not controlled by Apple so as they become available, the arrow icon shows up and you can update. It's a random happenstance based on what the different developers are releasing from what I can determine.
    If I am wrong, I am confident that my information will be corrected by someone.

  • What do the blue versus gray icons mean for groups in address book

    When I subscribe to another address book, it sits below a line under all my contact groups.
    My group icons are grey, the subscribed contact group icons are blue.
    If I drag a subscribed group to my "All" group then it sits there like a normal group, and sync to my iphone/touch etc. but the icon remains blue.
    I got excited thinking that it would automatically update any changes found in the subscribed address book but that doesn't seem to be the case.
    So what does the blue icon mean? is there something special I can do with it? I can't find any apple documentation anywhere.
    Thanks
    Edward

    The blue dots mean the addressee has a device capable of using iMessage.
    Try using the phone number instead of the email address to send the message.

  • Why can't I download Pages, Keynote,  and Numbers for free even though I got my Mac and iPad mini as a student?

    I bought my Macbook Pro and iPad mini at the Palisades Mall, New York location and was told that I can get those same apps for free on my Mac. I have been using my iPad mini for assignments and have never been able to download Pages, Keynote or Numbers on my Macbook Pro, despite having the same Apple ID and having all of these apps on my iPad Mini.
    I don't know the exact day I got my Macbook Pro, but I have the serial number and I know the month and year I purchased it.
    Yes, I got the student discount on both items, but the apps are only on my iPad mini.

    iOS and OS X versions of these apps are entirely different apps. Getting one free doesn't entitle you to the other.
    Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the Mac App Store for qualifying Mac computers purchased on or after October 1, 2013. OS X Yosemite required. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.

  • I have an iphone 4s which I recently updated to iOS 7.0.4. Now my contacts no longer show addresses or notes, although the phone numbers are displayed. All the correct information is still in iCloud, but how do I get the Contacts folder to show all info?

    Since I updated to iOS 7.0.4 on my iphone 4S, I can no longer see addresses or notes in my contacts on my phone. The information still exists in iCloud online.  How do I get full contact info onto my phone?
    There is another problem which may be related.  My desktop computer at work is running Windows 7, and I was recently upgraded to Office 2013.  Outlook is not showing contacts on my computer any more, just in iCloud.  However, when in iCloud, it does included addresses and notes, so I don't think this is caused by the same error as the iphone problem,
    I have refreshed, reinstalled and rebooted, to no avail.

    I would say that you would want to look into the "Exchange Mode" for GMail.  That would allow your iPhone to sync calendars, contacts and email with GMail just fine.  Doing the same with your outlook should also then sync those same with your PC using Outlook.  I've done teh iPhone side of this, but I since I don't run Lookout for my email client, I'm not sure how that will work on the PC side.
