What is "Make this my card" Contacts name selection for?

"Make this my card" adds the legend "Me" against a selected Contacts name. This pegs the name as the sender of emails from a particular computer. I have several Apple devices on my in-house wifi, all having "Contacts" on iCloud. When I select a card, for example on my MacBook Pro, and set my name in "Contacts" to "Make this my card" all my emails, from multiple shared addresses, are sent from my name. Great! Unfortunately, iCloud changes every other devices' "Make this my card" selection to my name as well! This causes emails originated on other devices to be sent in my name! Help.

I've solved my problem and I think I know what solved it. I read an old discussion (2005, I think) about iChat and the suggestion was to delete my card and reenter it. I did that and everything seems fine. Try that.  Good luck.

  • Can I script the 'Make This My Card' option of AddressBook

    I would like to be able to select my card and then the 'Card-menu -> Make This My Card' menu-option from within a script, so that I can make sure 'My Card' is always properly defined.
    I have tried Automator and AppleScript, but so far I did not find a way to accomplish this.
    Anybody out ther that can help me?
    Kind regards,
    Adam.

    What problem are you having with the definition of your card?
    Anyway, play with this script and see if you can make it do what you want.

  • Make This My Card Not Working

    When I send an iCal appointment via email, the listing always begins (null) followed by the appointment, which means that my name isn't being picked up as the originator of the message. I selected my card in my address book, went to Card and both "Make This My Card" and "Go to My Card" are greyed out, not allowing me to select them. I then went into address book to preferences and checked Vcard/enable private me card and then unchecked it; in both cases it didn't solve the problem. I cannot find anything in the help files.
    Any ideas? Thanks!
    Steve

    Well, I have four accounts in my mail.app, but I tried this with only one. If I am in another card, the "Go to My Card" is functional, and I indeed go to my card. So the Address Book seems to recognize the card as my card (and thanks! for getting me over that particular logical hump). This issue then seems to be the assignment of the card between iCal and the Address Book. I couldn't find anything in the iCal preferences, etc. that would allow me to either assignment myself as the owner of the calendar or link to the vCard in the Address Book.

  • Make This My Card

    My husband and I both use MacBooks. He also owns an iPad. We have been using the same MobileMe account for years. Since transfering to iCloud, however, we can no longer maintain separate identities. When he sets his card in Address Book by selecting "Make This My Card," syncing changes my Address Book so that his card reads "Me" on my computer. This affects numerous applications on our separate devices and confuses us no end. Anyone have any ideas on what to do?

    I've solved my problem and I think I know what solved it. I read an old discussion (2005, I think) about iChat and the suggestion was to delete my card and reenter it. I did that and everything seems fine. Try that.  Good luck.

  • You do not have security permissions to complete this operation. Contact your administrator for more information.

    Hi everyone,
    I had a little trouble finding this on ony forums, so i decided to write it myself.
    I have setup on my Windows server 2008 machine fax server manager. It is working well (recieving faxes and forwarding it through email)
    It has been setup with a d-link external fax modem.
    Everytime i try to connect my client computer (windows vista business 32 bit)  to the fax server through windows keep getting " you do not have security permissions to complete this operation. Contact your administrator for more information."
    I am having a little trouble getting around it as i am the system administrator and have all the rights to do this. I have also added extra to my account fax rights as i thorght, that could of been the problem. I have also added my account in the fax server manager, but that did not work as well.
    Everything is set up on a domain and the server that is running fax service manager is on it aswell, not sure what could be the problem.
    Thank you in advanced for your help

    Hi,
    Thanks for the post.
    First, I would like to confirm if the issue occurs with the Domain Admins.
    If so, please check if the relevant group policies are set appropriate.
    To resolve this issue, make sure that the Network Service account and the Local Service account is added to the following policy settings on the domain controller:
    ·         Adjust memory quotas for a process
    ·         Generate security audits
    ·         Log on as a service
    ·         Replace a process level token
    ·         Log on as a batch job
    To configure the policy settings for the Network Service account on the domain controller, follow these steps:
    1.    Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Local Security Policy.
    2.    Expand Local Policies, and then click User Rights Assignment.
    The policy settings are displayed in the right pane.
    3.    Double-click the policy setting that you want to add the Network Service account to.
    4.    If the Network Service account and the Local service account is not in the list of users and groups that are assigned to that policy setting, click Add User or Group.
    5.    In the Select User or Groups dialog box, type Network Service in the Enter the object names to select box, and then click OK.
    6.    Verify that NETWORK SERVICE is displayed in the list of users and groups that are assigned to that policy setting, and then click OK.
    7.    Add Local service the same way.
    8.    Reboot the server.
    Does it work?
    If the problem continues, Please collect the MPSReport from Windows Server 2008.
    1. Download proper MPS Report tool from the website below.

    2. Double-click to run it, if requirement is not met, please follow the wizard to download and install them. After that, click Next, when the "Select the diagnostics you want to run" page appears, select "General", “Business Networks”, click Next.
    3. After collecting all log files, choose "Save the results", choose a folder to save <Computername>MPSReports.cab file.
    Use Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com/) to upload the file and then give me the download address.
    Hope this helps.

  • What is the best Video Card I can get for an Early 2008 Mac Pro?

    What is the best Video Card I can get for an Early 2009 Mac Pro3,1?

    A 3,1 is "Early 2008" with DDR2 FBDIMMs, Intel 54xx Harpertown, and not 2009 Nehalem with DDR3.
    http://www.barefeats.com bench tests. A 3,1 does not improve as much due to its old PCIe 2.0 implementation for one thing.
    "Best" is hugely subjective. For what? cost versus performance and whether you need CUDA support or AMD - dual AMD's for FCP-X for instance.
    I think GTX 970 right now is close to "best".
    And of course shop here:

  • Phone number, not contact name, appears for new iMessage notification

    I am currently in Israel and using an Israeli SIM card with my iPhone 5C. I have unlimited data so I was told I was able to use iMessage. I am having an issue when talking to just one person. When I receive the banner or lock screen notification that I have a new message from him it just displays the phone number (area code and seven digits, no 1 or +1 or anything). Then when I swipe or tap to view the message it automatically brings me to a new message screen "To" his phone number (also the phone number is showing up green even though it is an iPhone). When I cancel the new message and am then in my Message app and viewing all my conversations, the new message is there under his contact name that is saved in my phone... And messages are blue etc. in our conversation. His number is saved with a +1 in my contacts as I am abroad and the contact name was appearing in my Messages. When I removed the +1 from his contact the phone is not recognizing him in my messages and just shows up as the number. This is very very frustrating. Please help! Thank you.

    this issue corrected itself 2 days later, the power of prayer!

  • Subject: Tabs - Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar. For what ever reason, this option doesn't show up for me to select. Why, or was this feature moved or removed?

    I'm running FireFox 10 and I have Windows 7 Ultimate on my PC. I would like to have the ability to select an open tab from the Windows taskbar. For what ever reason, this option is not showing in the Tools - Options - Tabs window. So, I can't select it. Why? Has this feature been moved or removed?

    The "Show tab previews in the Windows taskbar" does not appear as an option. in Options - Tabs.
    I Toggled the browser.taskbar.previews to True in About:Config, but it made no difference.
    So, no go on either solution.
    I am running Windows Ultimate 64bit. I don't know if that makes a difference.

  • Can't figure out what will make this work....

    So I have a Verizon Wireless USB modem for internet access, and I have to turn off airport in order to gain access to the internet (some issue with VZW). And I can't have the modem plugged into anywhere but on the computer itself. So, I connected the Time Capsule to my iMac using an ethernet cord. All that being said, my Time Capsule initially would blink the amber light of doom while I was connected to the internet, and then would function just fine whenever I was disconnected, and then it stopped. I have tried resetting it, I have tried reinstalling, and I have since given up because I don't know what to do with it. I have even tried a new cord, thinking that that might help things. Please, please help. My grad school work needs to be backed up ASAP. Thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    Let's fix the Verizon annoyance first, then we'll see if it helps. Your Verizon network adapter probably has a lower priority than your airport and/or wired connection, we'll move it up so that your computer tries to use this connection to get online before any other one. Simply follow these instructions:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8853.html
    Try connecting wirelessly or with your network cable to your Time Capsule. If your Time Capsule doesn't appear in Finder, open the Airport Utilty (Applications/Utilities). If the Airport Utility can see your Time Capsule, make sure the Disk Sharing is enabled and that you have the right password.
    If you can't connect or the Airport Utility can't see your Time Capsule, click on your desktop (to change the top menus to the Finder menus) then click on "GO" and "Connect to a Server". In the server name field enter the afp:\\10.0.1.1:548. If you changed the IP address of your Time Capsule enter it there followed by :548.
    I hope that helps.

  • Why won't Address Book save "make this my card"?

    Mail has suddenly quit retaining my card as "me" no matter how often I re-select it. Even keeping Address Book open and minimized while I work does not do the trick. I also run Entourage and use it as my principal mail and address book & calendar; however, Safari's AutoFill won't work off the saved "me card" in Entourage. Anyway, it is a pain. Any suggestions?

  • What's the easiest AmEx Card to get approved for?

    So I'm starting to set some goals for myself as far as credit goes after not really paying too close attention to my scores. By this time next year, I'd like to have a score in the low to mid 700's and ideally get an AmEx card for my wallet. What's the easiest card to apply and be approved for?

    The easiest to get is Amex Delta card.  But if you are planning on applying next year and your scores will be in the 700s, you should be able to get other cards also.

    You can run maximum of 2 GB cards. Check what type of cards that your phone support on the manual. Transcend, Kingston etc are better brands.

  • Which contact name appears for SMS?

    In my address book I have a contact called "ICE (Emergency Contact)" which includes the phone numbers of the people closest to me in case I'm in an accident and someone else has my iPhone. All of the people included in "ICE" also have their own separate entries in address book.
    Unfortunately, whenever I receive an SMS or call from anyone in "ICE", the phone reports them as "ICE", instead of finding their separate personal entry in address book.
    Is there any way I can control how the phone indexes the calling/smsing number into my contact list so I can see who's calling?

    Perhaps you could try an ICE application for the phone, like one of these:

  • What  Express/34 Wi-Fi Card Should I Buy For My BMP???
