Why does Contacts need to connect to my ISP?

Upgraded to Mountain Lion. Suddenly my Address Book is "Contacts." My iMac is not a phone, people. Anyway, when I opened "Contacts," it said it could not connect to my ISP. Why the heck would it want to connect to my ISP? Why would it want to connect to anything? It's a freaking address book.

From Contacts help.

  • I cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4.. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    i cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
    I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
    So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
    Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

  • Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud?

    Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud? I don't have iCloud on my MacBook Pro and only intend to use the mini to check e-mail and use Garage Band and Photo Booth for song writing when traveling . . .

    Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
    In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
    When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
    You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
    Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
    High regards to everybody

  • Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8

    Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?

    The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised

  • Why does Bridge Need Illustrator to Save as PDF compatible file?

    1. Why does Bridge need Illustrator files to be saved as PDF files? "PDF Compatible File" ticked in the save menu.
    2. Why does saving with this info take so long, even on decent fast modern systems?
    3. Why does Bridge not consistently render the Illustrator files in FULL RESOLUTIONS, seemingly shooting for half resolution much of the time, and simply stopping at that?
    4. Why does "clicking" on the preview inside Bridge bring up the full resolution?
    5. How do I shortcut this process so that every file is previewed in Full RESOLUTION, instantly?
    What is the point of Bridge?  What's its reason for existence?
    First time user of Bridge.

    Since someone is bound to say that this should be asked in the Bridge section... it already is.  And has been referenced back over here.

    Answer wherever you see fit, if you're up to the task of dealing with someone attempting to have a broader view, perhaps also suffering from somewhat objective analysis that sometimes contains direct criticism of the way Adobe does things.

  • HT201250 If time machine backups hourly.  Why does it need to backup daily, weekly and monthly

    If time machine backups hourly.  Then why does it need to backup daily, seekly, and monthly?

    It doesn't.
    What it does is discard intermediate backups at the end of 24 hrs and keep just three spaced backups from the previous day.
    At the end of the next day, that day's will be reduced to 3, and the previous 3 trimmed to one; the last backup of that day.
    Daily backups are kept for a month, then trimmed to the last backup of the week.
    The weekly backups are kept until the disc runs out of space and TM starts deleting the oldest ones.

  • Why does m4v need to be converted again

    Hi. I converted a dvd movie I bought into the ipod format .m4v using another converting software program I have. I then imported it into the videos section of my itunes. It would not load into my ipod unless i convertd it again using the itunes conver for ipod option. Why does this need to be converted again for ipod if its already in a .m4v and is there any way i can fix this so when im originally converting my movie with my converting software I can eliminate this last step in itunes. It takes up to 5 hours to convert in itunes. thanks

    I should also add that I am using a AVS video converter which has an IPod 5.5 converting option that makes my movies Highest available quality H.264, 30fps 640x480
    There are more Ipod options availble but im using the Highest quality available one. Maybe I should be using one of these:
    ipod 5x- NTFS Standard quality H.264 29.97fps, 320X240
    ipod 5x- PAL standard quality H.264 24fps, 320X240
    ipod 5x- low quality H264., 20fps, 320X240
    ipod 5x - Best quality (MPEG4, 24fps, 320X240)
    ipod 5x- economy quality (MPEG4, 20fps, 176X144)
    ipod 5x- for tv output (MPEG4, 24fps, 512X384)

  • Why does FaceTime keep saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi?

    Why does FaceTime keep saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi? My friend in Texas has tried to call my via FaceTime but for some reason, every time she does, it keeps saying "connection lost" when we both have full bars on our wifi. Keep in mind, I am from Nebraska so we have the same time zone and I have an iPod 4 while she has a iPhone of some sort but that shouldn't matter because I am still able to FaceTime my friend in California, which is two hours behind me. So, I guess I just want to know why I cannot reach my friend in Texas. Please, someone help me!

    Apple has released a document which is reported to address the recent FaceTime issue.

    Hi,
    iChat uses several port as they are called over the internet to do different things
    Text Chats and Video Chats are on different Ports.
    You probably don't have the port open.
    Use UPnP in your router if it has it.

  • Why does my Iphone 4s connect to my Wi-Fi network and latter in the day fail to connect until I reboot the router

    Why does my Iphone 4s connect to my wi-fi with a password and latter in the day fail to connect until I reboot the router?  Is there a setting on my router that would avoid this issue.  All my other devices connect alright

    OK so it now looks like on my iPhone 5 iwth iOS 6.1 the LTE network is conflicting with my home wifi (Airport Extreme). At the Apple store the LTE signal is lost in and wifi works like a charm. At home tired all of the "fixes"
    -No security
    -WEP
    -Reset network,
    -Complete reset and reload on the phone
    -ETC ETC ETC
    Just turned off the cell radio and it worked. Turned on the cell radio but kept LTE off and it worked.
    Apple let's get a fix so we can use your "great" phone. I have just received a BB Z10 from work and it seems to work flawlessly.

  • Why does EJB needs two interface???

    Hi All,
    This has been asked by many ppl and many of you might be having
    the correct answer for it. Please tell me....
    Why does EJB needs two interface (Home and Remote Interface)?. Why not one?
    Thanx to all...
    Regards
    GoodieGuy

    Hi Goodie ,
    Its good question and its a very valid one , one has to have doubt
    why two , why not one ..
    Here the answer goes ..
    First of all you need to understand that its a distributed computing technique ie I mean lot of people will be accessing the bean at the same time , right ? OK , you cann't access the bean directly.
    and lastly the stateless and entity beans do instance pooling.
    The very purpose of having two interfaces is
    1) To differnentiate the bussiness logic and life cycle methods .
    2) The home interface inititates life cycle methods like creation , destruction etc .
    3) There are lot of beans in the container , and through home you are
    creating the instance or accessing one of them .
    4) Once you have home object using it we get the remote object ie the instance of the bean that you want to access if stateless any bean can be called , if statefull depending upon the parameter in create method that respective bean is created and invoked .
    In ejb 1.0 and 1.1 even though the bean and the client are in same jvm its assumed that they are remote and in 2.0 Ver we have local this is to avoid network traffic .
    Hope you have got the answer , but if u still need clarification
    read EBRoman book first and second chapters thoroughly and then proceed
    a head.
    Bye
