When I merge two contact records, some of the email addresses vanish

Most of my contacts have multiple email addresses. When I save a new address from Mail, I often end up with multiple contact records in Address Book for the same person (same name).
When I Merge Selected Cards to merge two of the records, one of the email addresses is erased completely — which, of course, completely negates the value of being able to merge the records. My guess is that it's because the email addresses are all listed as "Work" email addresses, and Address Book can't handle that concept.
Does anyone know a way to make the Merge Selected Cards feature actually merge all of the data?Or at least warn me it is about to erase important data?
Many thanks.

I don't have a mouse with a right click. But found answer on another support thread that works easily for me.
Mail keeps track of all your addresses to whom you sent mail before. In Mail, go under Window then Previous Recipients. Type in the address you want to drop and then click on Remove from List.

HT2486 How do I remove the grey "contact" selection highlight? This contact always appears as the email address for the group I want to send to.

How do I remove the grey "contact" selection highlight? This contact always appears as the email address for the address book group I want to send to.

The group is "undisclosed" there are 6 contacts in the group. The contacts are listed in 2nd column entitled "name", one of these contacts remains highlighted or selected in grey. I can't remove the grey selection of the contact. When you select the "undisclosed" group as the "to" address the contact highlighted in grey appears in the email address box. The group name should appear in the email box, but it doesn't. This began to happen after I upgraded to IOS 10.6.8. However I'm not sure that has anything to do with the problem? I do not have "show all member addresses selected." Your help is appreciated.

I tried to erase some of the email addresses that i have emailed in the past that i no longer use. I went to window and all my email to addresses were deleted-can i get them back?

I tried to erase some of the email addresses that i no longer email to - i went to window to delete some and ALL of them were deleted . How do i get the addresses back?
Thank you sooooo much!

Go to Mail Preferences>Accounts, click the '+' button below the list of accounts and insert the settings, username and password as instructed. Some account types can be set up automatically as soon as Mail knows the emails address (because the server settings are built in), in other cases you will have to get them from your ISP.

Why don't some of the email addresses show up in the Group I created when I try to send an email?

I have set up a group in Contacts for 23 people. When I go into my email and try to send the group an email, some of the addresses are missing when I type in the Group name in the To field. How do I fix this? I need to send regular emails to this group of 23 people.
Thanks!

Reset your iPad and see of the apps appear.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I seem to have two iCloud accounts, how do I merge them so I only have one email address

I originaly had an apple ID with itunes established many years ago. Some years later I obtained a .me account. It appears that when iCloud was created I somehow seem to have ended up with 2 identities. the original iTunesone and the one associated with the then new .me email. I would like to continue using the original iTunes ID (as most of my content is there) but iCloud insists that I need to create another .me email address for that iTunes ID. I do not want two addresses, can I merge these accounts and only use 1 .me addres?
Thanks
Ray

You can keep the original ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match, and use a different ID for iCloud for email, calendar, contacts and bookmarks syncing and PhotoStream.
In iTunesStore>Account you can change the email address associated with the login ID if you with - the actual login doesn't have to be a functioning email address.
This means that iTunes will have a different login to iCloud, but Keychain will take care of this anyway so your won't need to remember which one to use. It's better security to have your iTunes login different from your easily discoverable email address, given the number of complaints about iTunes accounts being hacked.

Why am I getting an error when I place two OAM files one after the other in different pages?

Why am I getting an error when I place two OAM files one after the other in different pages? They do not load or play correctly. They are both configured to play automatically with a .125 second delay and both have a white rectangle "poster" over for a hidden effect.

Thanks for the idea, Scott! I initially tried your idea, but my OAM files were still not loading correctly. I tried other combinations of OAM files, and it seems to work fine.
Back to my original OAM files: I made sure that my elements in my Edge Animate project had different names. I originally copied parts of some elements from one to another, and I think it was confusing to DPS to read it.

How do I rename one wrongly identified photo in Faces? I seem to only be able to merge two stacks of photos to the correct name, but that is not accurate. I only have one photo in a batch under a certain name, that is wrongly identified.

In iPhoto '11: Select the photo in the "Faces" stack, open the "Info" panel, click on the face name in the "faces" brick and then on the name below the face to edit the name.

When I sync my iPhone 5 to Outlook 2010, the email addresses that I have listed as Email 1 for any given contact in my iPhone will be automatically moved to Email 3 in the Outlook file. Is there a way to fix this?

iCloud email supports 'plus' addressing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Address_tags
So your friend could just add '+research' to the username part of your email address, and you setup a rule at icloud.com to put all emails sent to that address into a particular folder.
For example:
[email protected]
There's no way to do it without rules on the server though.

I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube,some of the photo near the beginning was corrupted.What steps should I take to export iMovie for youtube?

I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube, some of the photo near the beginning were corrupted on youtube. I tried a different photo, and the corruption took place at the same moment of the video. How do I prepare the video for export to get it ready for youtube? I wasn't sure whether to clik web or web streaming. Am I supposed to clik Quick Time after I clik Share?

I unfortunately cannot remember where I got the 'trrndlines' plugin... I assume that it must have been from CFX (as it is located under /Users/Dom/Library/iMovie/Plug-ins/cfx/XXXtrrndlines.bundle).
As for what it does, I also do not know, as I do not think I ever used it in my previous video projects.
At this stage, I think I just need to uninstall it so that iMovie doesnt try to use it.
Do you know how to uninstall a CFX plugin in iMovie?
NOTE: I have re-installed iMovie 6.0.4 (instead of iMovie 6.0.3), but still encounter the same issue.

Reader doesn’t create pdf files. You can use Acrobat (ask in that forum) to create pdfs. You can subscribe to the Adobe PDF Pack which has a create pdf functionality (please ask in that forum), or you can use a third party utility such as ghostscript, cutepdf, or Microsoft’s own PDF creation capability. For third party pdf creation you will need to ask in a forum dedicated to that software as fellow users of Reader are unlikely to have the knowledge to help.

The iPad doesn't seem to want to set up an email for a "group" in my contacts. On my iMac, when I type the name of a group, the email addresses of everyone in the group appear in the "To" line of a new message. Not so with the iPad. Help?

Apparently Groups are not supported in the Mail App on the iPad. Read this thread and see Michael Morgan's post for a workaround.

Hello Susan,
Not sure if I have fully understood your question but have you tried ...
iPhoto > iPhoto help > browse help > view and organise. Perhaps this touches on some of your needs.
Usually, best results for questions come from posting to the forum directly related to the question, in this case iPhoto. That tends to find the gurus
Would you like me to ask the hosts to relocate your question?

when you buy a CD and some of the songs don't download, how do you solve this?

Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store
