Where is the Contacts Master file when using iCloud?

     It used to be when I used "MobileMe", I was very clear about where my Master file was for my CONTACTS (fka Address Book) information. I could make changes on my iMac and then push them to my iPhone and iPad and evrything worked and synce perfectly (via iTunes).
     When iCloud replaced MobileMe nothing seems to be right anymore. Updates on my phone don't show up in my iMac Contacts. All my contacts in my iMac are now duplicated to most things are there twice. And I'm afriad to deactivate iCloud becasue of the onmious "...iCloud will delter these files from your device." message.
     Could you possibly have taken something that worked so well and screwed it up any worse?
     I am a long time APPLE user and I have "gotten" most things that Apple has done in the past 20 years. But iCloud seems to confound me on numerous levels.
     Where should I make changes and updates to my Contacts files so it flows to all my devices?
     Why does the Contacts file in my iMac now have duplicate entires?
     Why don't iCalendar updates I make in my iPhone transfer over to my iCalendar on my iMac?
     Is anyone else having troubles with something the used to work so perfectly?
Frustrated in Denver....

iCloud uses a server-client model in which your contacts and calendars reside in your account on Apple's iCloud server. Your computers and iOS devices simply interact with the data on the server. When any client device makes a change on the server, that change should be immediately seen by the other client devices signed into your account. This video may help explain what's going on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBf7Uzv1OmQ&feature=player_embedded.
That said, changes should be bi-directional; any change made on one device should be replicated on the others. Since that's not happening for you, something isn't working properly. To troubleshoot this, you start by determining wich of your devices is the problem. Open you contacts on icloud.com (the "master" list), then add a test contact on your phone and on your Mac and see which one fails to appear on icloud.com. Then do the same thing with your calendar: add a test event on your phone and your Mac and see which one fails to appear on your calendar on icloud.com.
Let me know your results and we'll take it from there.

I currently having problems when dialling with my 4S either from the contacts list, or when using the phone through bluetooth to my in-car system. The phone becomes confused regarding what method / route of connection handsfree, normal use or speaker.

Hi each time i use my 4S phone a dial from the contact list, the phone will not select a communication mode, either normal speaker or handsfree (car), I have to force the phone into speaker mode and the back to normal mode before I can speak to or listen to anyone. The annoying aspect is the recipient of my call can answer but cannot hear me nor I them.
What am I doing wrong, or is there an issue with the phone. The same situation occurs when the phone is used with bluetooth in my car, the previous iphone worked perfectly can you please advise.

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Where does the processing take place when using a remote front panel?

Hi,
I am considering upgrading my LabView software from 6i to 6.1 for the new "two click" remote front panel feature. I have already seen a demo of this feature but have just a few questions before I get the upgrade:
My setup consists of several pieces of equipment connected to Labview via GPIB, to aid in the evaluation of a new microchip.
1. I wish to grant control of the setup to anyone with a web browser, Is the remote monitoring feature compatible with both Netscape and IE?
2. The VI which controls the setup is currently located on the PC beside my setup. When I embed a VI in a remote front panel, where does the processing take place, is the local VI still controlling the setup? and
the remote panel just sending and receiving data from the local VI.
Thanks, Troy

Yes. Provided they are resonably modern versions.

The computer which we refer to as the server, the one with the GPIB card
in your case, will execute as it does now. In fact, its window will
even be open. The remote client computer, the one with the web browser
will be running the runtime engine and processing user events, value
change and property/method events from the server. So in reality, both
computers will be sharing the load a bit. This allows for very small
packets to be sent between the computers. It is in fact quite similar
to publishing the data between the computers using datasocket.
One thing to keep in mind. Standard LV includes a license for one
connection. If you want to allow for multiple web browsers to view at
the same time, additional licenses are available. Also, only one user,
remote or server may be in control of the panel at a time. That means
that if you want to be able to operate the panel, changing kn
obs or
flipping switches, the others will become viewers only until you give up
control. Hopefully this isn't a surprise, but I thought you might want
to hear about it now.

Struts Support: "Cannot parse the struts configuration file" when using the Struts Portlet Wizard

I'm currently trying to deploy the struts-example webapp from Struts 1.1 RC1 into
Weblogic Portal 8.1 using the Struts Portlet wizard made available by the "JSR
168 and Struts Support" patch.
I select the struts module successfully "struts-example" and am prompted for the
location of name mangled configuration file (i.e "struts-config.xml" for struts-example
becomes "jpf-struts-config-struts-example.xml").
As soon as I hit next, I am prompted with a dialog informing that me that [Workbench]
"Cannot parse the struts configuration file."
Given that this is a file supplied with the struts distro and that I can deploy
the struts-example to Vanilla WLS 8.1 without problems I suspect this is a problem
with my attempt to use the Struts Portlet.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks,

Where are the aperture master files?

...trying to find where the photo files actually are on my hard drive?
using Aperture 3.1.2 , fyi.
thanks

I recently had this problem and just figured out what it was. A3 default import option set <Store files> to 'in the aperture library'. What this actually does is ad the photos to the 'Aperture Library.aplibrary' file, which gets increasing bloated file. If you find this file and right-click to 'View package contents' you'll find your photos buried in there in <masters/year/random-number/>.
If you want the files to simply be stored on the hard drive in a select file location, just change this dropdown in the import options to be the Image library location (or some other).

T List?Using Mail Version 6.3 (1503): where is the Contact list

Using Mail Version 6.3 (1503): where is the Contact list? On my old Pro it had "Contacts"

Hi, in Mail6.3 the button to display your address book and another of other useful quick buttons have disappeared. I am a first time Mac user and find the lack of options to manipulate the application astonishing. I want to quickly access my address book from the email window, like having a button next to TO. This feature is very important as I do not always know the full names of the people I am writing too. I also experience problems to open the address book when writing an email in iCloud and to load distribution lists. Also, I would like to use at least a two-level structure to save my email lists that I can display and hide. Resizing the contact app is another feature that has been limited, and also too browse for an email whilst a window to write an email is open. Perhaps you can help me to discover these options.
Thanks.

Is there a capability to save/export the time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app.

is there a capability to save/export the new airport 2TB time capsule settings file when using the iphone/ipad airport utility. set-up wasn't a problem but the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.

the "file" button does not exist on the latest airport utility app v6.3 to save the configuration file.
Sounds like you are a bit confused with version numbers.
Latest AirPort Utility version for the iPhone / iPad is 1.3.3. There is no option or capability to export/import settings on the iOS version(s) of AirPort Utility.....although you could take a series of screen shots and save them for future reference.
AirPort Utility 6.3.x is found on a Mac.....not on iPhone / iPad. Export and Import options are found under the File menu in 6.3.x.

Firefox 33 doesn't display a pdf file when using the response object

Firefox 33.0.2 does not display pdf files when using the code below from an asp.net program, which works for previous versions of Firefox, and also works with IE. I'm using the built-in pdf viewer. All of my plugins are disabled.
Dim strPDF As String
strPDF = Session("filname") 'pdf filename
Response.Clear()
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.Buffer = True
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.CacheControl = "Private"
Response.AddHeader("Pragma", "no-cache")
Response.AddHeader("Expires", "0")
Response.AddHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate")
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=" + strPDF)
Response.WriteFile(strPDF)
Response.Flush()
Response.Close()
Response.Clear()
Response.End()
Session("filname") = ""

Thanks cor-el. You pointed me in the right direction. It appears to me that a reported Firefox 33 bug with the handling of compression (Transfer-Encoding: chunked) is the culprit (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026743). I was able to find a work-around by specifying the file size and buffering. Below is my code, with some code from http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/440054/How-to-Open-any-file-in-new-browser-tab-using-ASP.
Dim strPDF As String
strPDF = Session("filname") 'pdf filename
Dim User As New WebClient()
Dim FileBuffer As [Byte]() = User.DownloadData(strPDF)
If Not (FileBuffer Is Nothing) Then
Response.Clear()
Response.ClearHeaders()
Response.CacheControl = "Private"
Response.AddHeader("Pragma", "no-cache")
Response.AddHeader("Expires", "0")
Response.AddHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate")
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.AddHeader("content-length", FileBuffer.Length.ToString())
Response.BinaryWrite(FileBuffer)
Response.Flush()
Response.Close()
Response.Clear()
Response.End()
End If

Can iPhoto and Lightroom share the same master file?

I have loaded all my images into iPhoto. Lightroom cannot see the files until I made alias folders and placed them in Pictures. Now lightroom can see them. Lightroom is non destructive and should not damage the masters. Is that the same for iPhoto? Any problems in sharing the same master file?

I have 20k images that take up 100G. Eighty percent are JPEG and have already been edited. iPhoto seems ideal for this group. Kids and grandkids like to go down memory lane and this seems to be easy to navigate. The remaining 20% are mostly raw files and need editing. I already have Lightroom and had been using it in my old PC. I am new to modern Mac’s having changed over to PC from Mac 10 years ago. I loaded all my photo files to iPhoto not knowing that the master file was hidden.
Lightroom is a great editor. Almost all the advanced photographers in our club use Lightroom for 90% of their images. Ten % require layer capability so they use Photoshop CS5 or Elements. By the way there is now a layer plug in for Lightroom that works pretty well.
The work flow I envision, if possible, would be to enter new raw images into Lightroom and edit. The master raw images could go anywhere. Could they reside in the iPhoto master file? The export would be jpeg to iPhoto. For existing images I would use the iPhoto master list to import the 20% group to Lightroom. You don’t really import the images but borrow the image. The masters are never altered. When you export an edited jpeg, the master stays unaltered in it’s original file. Does iPhoto operate the same way.
I read where Lightroom jpeg images cause a problem for iPhoto. Still a problem?

Adobe Premiere CC 2014.2: losing rendered files when using warp stabilizer

Hi,
I am constantly losing rendered files when using the warp stabilizer. So far I have tried about every hint I could find on the web such as cleaning the cache, rebuilding the rendered files, creating additional sequences etc etc.
Honestly I am getting tired of using a product that isnt cheap in the first place to rent and where a bug like this apparently persists over several product versions without being fully fixed (I have had this problem throughout 2014 but according to forum postings others seem to have problems with much earlier versions as well).
I would be really grateful if somebofy has any suggestion how this can be addressed.
I am also happy to help testing fixes - if there are any fixes available.
Thanks a lot and Happy New Year!
Martin

Hi Catherine,
Welcome to the Adobe forums.
Please try the steps mentioned below and check if it works for you.
1. Launch Premiere Pro and create a Project, go to File menu>Project Settings>Renderer and change the Renderer to Software only mode, delete previews if you get a prompt and then try to import the clip.
2. If step 1 fails or the Renderer is already on Software only mode, go to Start Menu and search for Device Manager, go into Display Adapters and Right click on the Graphics card to select Update driver software option, on the next screen choose "Browse my computer for driver software", then choose "Let me Pick from a list..." option and from the list select "Standard VGA Graphics adapters. You might need to change the screen resolution of your screen and once done restart the machine again.
Launch Premiere Pro and import the clip to check.
Regards,
Vinay
