Wish list: search of calendar & contacts, and scrolling info in itunes

There are two things that really bug me with my first generation iPod Touch, and I'm hoping someone can tell me if Apple has addressed either of these issues or plans to address them.
1. I often have a need to search for some text in the Calendar and Contacts application. I have an iMac and use this feature all the time, searching for the date of a particular event or something in the Notes field (eg., "cellist") of a Contact. Why isn't this important feature available with the Touch?
2. Many of the pieces I have in iTunes begin with the same name (eg., "Mendelssohn: String Quartet No..."), and because the title doesn't scroll on the Touch, I often can't tell which piece I'm hearing (eg., is it Quartet No. 1 or 12?), or if that much is displayed, then definitely what movement of the piece it is. My old ipod has this information scroll so that I can see the whole title (other fields, like the Artist field, scroll too). For some reason this feature went away with the Touch, and I really miss it and often need it.
Do you know if this is fixed with the 2nd generation of the Touch, or if Apple plans to address it?

Neither points you mentioned are currently a feature on the 2G touch. I would love to see both added. The only way to let apple know is to send feedback to:

  • Hotmail Full Calendar/Contacts and Email Sync Poss...

    You can set up hotmail to sync calendar/contacts and email (all folders, just like imap) through the N900 but have to set it up as an "exchange" account.
    In the email client add new account and select "exchange" and put in your username and password.  The next page will ask for the server which is m.hotmail.com - leave the domain empty.  Select SSL (which it does by default.)  Then set up your sync parameters. 
    This is nice for consumers who don't have a work exchange account that takes care of syncing for you.
    If you run Outlook - you can use the Outlook connector to sync your contacts/calendar to Hotmail - which will then sync onto your N900.  This way you won't have to use Ovi or PC Suite to sync...
    Just passing along... I searched and found some info on this for other Nokia devices - but nothing for the N900 so I thought I would mention it.

    kudos for that, since i upgraded to pr1/2 i've been changing between both google and hotmail, but after pr1.3 i decided to stay with hotmail.
    anyways here are the settings to get google account working :
    Calendar AND contacts sync settings can be created by:
    1st  Open settings menu.
    2nd  Open "Email for Exchange" submenu.
    3rd  Filling in the fields as:
    a. Server: m.google.com
    b. Port: 443
    c. Secure connection: check yes
    d. Conflict resolution: your choice
    e. User name:  [email protected]
    f. Password: your password
    g. Domain: leave blank
    h. Synchronize e-mail:  leave unchecked.
    i. Synchronize calendar and tasks: check yes.
    k. Calendar:  N900 (to populate existing calendar) or create a new one
    j. Synchronize calendar back:  your choice
    k. Synchronize completed tasks:  your choice
    l. Synchronize contacts:  check yes
    m. First synchronization: your choice
    A note of caution:  For this sync to work your calendar must be empty.  If you have already used the synchronization tool to transfer the calendar data from your old phone to your n900 it will not allow you to write the Google calendar data from the server into it. The n900 calendar will remain as a local, unsynchronized calendar and you must create another calendar for synchronization purposes.  However, I believe this is not the best way to go.  Instead, if you have already transferred your calendar data from your old phone open the n900's calendar, select all, and delete.  Then the Google server will synchronize its data with the N900 calendar.
    Reality is wrong....dreams are for real... 2pac .

  • How can I sync my new iPhone 4S to calendar, contacts, and photos on my MacBook?

    Just bought my first iPhone after 2 years as an Android user. My 2008 MacBook would never talk to the Android, but now - they tell me - I can backup my phone onto my computer and share contacts, calendar and photos with the computer.
    I've plugged the phone into the computer but the computer's Finder doesn't show it. And the phone indicates it's charging but doesn't show any way to swap data.
    I feel like I'm missing something really basic ... but what?

    All of this is handled through iTunes. You must have iTunes installed on the comptuer. Also, you will not be able to see any files in Finder, as the iPhone does not give you access to that information. The only time you will ever see anything from the iPhone in Finder is if you have photos in the Camera Roll.
    After you download and install iTunes, you would set up syncing your device with specific apps on the computer, to handle calendar, contacts, and photos. You might want to start out by thumbing through the User Guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

  • ICloud: I can't set a check mark at calendar, contacts and mail. Why?

    iCloud: I can't set a check mark at calendar, contacts and mail. Why?

    I'm afraid so. The iCloud control panel is only compatible with Outlook 2007 or later.
    iCloud system requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    However, you should still be able to add your iCloud mail account manually in Outlook using the server information.

  • Can 2 iCloud accounts share same Calendar, Contacts, and Photos? (family)

    iPhone #1 (Husband)
    iPhone #2 (wife)
    iMac (Both)
    We do not want to share the same email or reminders... email is personal, but we would like to share photos, contacts, and calendars. Can two iCloud accounts be shared with the same iMac and by doing so the iMac syncs the two accounts in Calandar, Contacts, Photos and merges the two accounts to the one program resulting in both phones containing the same Calendars, Contacts, and Photos???
    Any ideas, tips, tricks, or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

    I posted pretty much the same question on the forum a week [How to share contacts in iCloud?] and did mention that there the subscribe functionality for Calendar (replacement of iCal) works fine, but the issue with Contacts is becoming more critical (as Apple gave up the MobileMe support)... I did increment the count of 'I have the same question' hopefully increasing sight of Apple support team...

  • How to synchronise calendar, contacts and music separately?

    Anyone knows how you can synchronize your calendar, contacts and music separately? It seems that ITunes is capable of only synchronizing everything you have.
    I have a computer at home (Vista) with my music and another one at work (XP) with my contacts and calendar (Outlook). Is it possible to synchronize my Ipod with both automatically and conveniently? ie my work PC doesn't delete all my music?
    I have a 5 years old palm pilot that does this without any special intervention. Can ITunes do the same?

  • My husband and I each have iphones, how can we share the contact and calender info we have have in our iclouds with each other?

    My husband and I each have an iphone 4S, how can we share the contact and calender info we have in our iclouds with each other?

    You can make one or more calendars of one iphone sharable and the other user will be able to have those sharable calanders synced.  Unfortunately, you can't do that with contacts.  But you could go to the computer account used by you or your husband, perform a backup of the contacts (see the file menu), copy the file to the other account used to sync the other iphone, and restore.  It's a manual process that has to be performed periodically, but doable.
    The other method is for each of you to use the same iCloud ID and have both iphones synced to be identical.  But I don't recommend that otherwise you'll each get the same text messages and who knows what else.

  • TS3297 When trying to purchase music on my MacBook Pro I got this message: Could not purchase "Wish List". An unknown error occurred (5002) in the iTunes store.

    Trying to purchase music and received this message: Could not purchase "Wish List". An unknown error occurred (5002) in the iTunes store. Try again later. I have tryed multiple times and still keep getting this error message. I have the downloaded the latest iTunes version. What is the answer?

    So you already followed these steps?
    This alert is often the result of an issue with verifying your billing.
    Quit iTunes.
    Open iTunes.
    Test the issue.
    If it persists, sign in to store.apple.com using your iTunes account
    Click on Change account information
    Modify or remove your credit card information.
    Click Continue.
    Test the issue.
    If you have I'd try calling AppleCare back and telling the it is error 5002 and already tried troubleshooting steps as listed in TS3297 and that you have already tried to email iTunes support and have yet to recieve a response.

  • TS4062 we have 2 different iphones. When we are synching, the contacts and ical interfere and we end up by having all our contacts and ical info mixed together.

    we have 2 different iphones 4 and iphone 4s. Why when we are synching, the contacts and ical interfere and we end up by having all our contacts and ical info mixed together?

    Well are you syncing them with the same acount?  Are you syncing them to the same source?  If you are both syncing the iCal on the same computer then you are going to end up sharing all the entries.  You need two differnt AppleId's and user ID on the comuter you are syncing to if you want everything to stay seperate.

  • How you can sync your contact and your mail with iTunes 11 as it's not there anymore ?

    How you can sync your contact and your mail with iTunes 11 as it's not there anymore ?

    ~ means your Home directory. Using the command above takes you to the Home directory on the boot drive.  Your backup files are now on another drive in a directory that used to be your Home but is now a subfolder of Users so you have to specify that drive after the /Volumes, then the user name, then the rest to go there
    I use OSX 10.4.11 and on it the libraries are still visible.  There's two at least.  One general one at the top level of the boot drive and another for each user (the one with the ~).  I think they made at least one of them invisible with newer OS versions.

  • Following the most recent IOS IPhone update our Iphone calendars, contacts and messages have all merged. This problem has never happened before. We all use the same Itunes account as a family and one AppleID. Does anyone know the cause of this problem?

    We have 4 Iphones. As a family we have happily shared the same ITunes account and one AppleID. After the most recent iPhone IOS update all our contacts and calendars have merged and we randomly receive some messages that one of us has sent to another contact.
    This is causing chaos.
    Can anyone help me with:
    1. Has anyone experienced a similar problem recently?
    2. The records to the individual phones have not been saved been saved separately. After this merging of all the data into one composite record, is there anyway to reverse the change and restore the phones to just their individual records?
    3. I guess that the cause may be the common AppleID. I have tried to create my own AppleID but my personal email address is already linked to the existing AppleID so I am blocked from setting up a separate AppleID in my own name. Does anyone know how I can get around this block?
    4. Would it be better to create a separate Apple ICloud address for each of us as well? How do I do this?
    Many thanks in anticipation,
    Peter

    This is exactly what happens when sharing a single Apple ID for iCloud and iMessage.  Why would you expect any different?

  • Oracle 11g express --- Wish list --- Match or beat IBM and Microsoft

    Oracle's significant competitors IBM and Microsoft have had support for XSLT and XQuery in their express editions for a while. My wish-list for Oracle 11g express is to match it or even beat it. With increasing adoption of XML a lot of innovation is happening. Oracle is a no-show here.
    I had to switch to DB2 from Oracle to be able to take advantange of the IBM Db2 express. Along the way, I will end up purchasing their high-end DB2 offering also.
    Later ...
    /rk

    I see Oracle in a dilemma here.
    Oracle 11g SE One Processor Perpetual costs $5,800 - dillute this over 3 years and you have a VERY GOOD database for a VERY affordable price. For small shops, this is a no-brainer over Standard Edition.
    But alas, suppose 11g XE supports 2 CPUs, 2 GB of RAM and 20 GB of storage!
    Let's think about it. A fast, robust, mature, fully-featured database - for FREE. But wait, there's more - APEX is FREE as well.
    XE and APEX make a killer combo. XE's hard-coded limits are cumbersome, but creative DBAs/developers manage to create impressive solutions nonetheless. Without Oracle making a single dollar in licenses.
    Simply put, I think 11g XE with 2 CPUs, 2GB RAM and 20 GB of storage would take away customers from Oracle - those currently buying Oracle 11g SE One Processor Perpetual. OK, XE comes with no support, but still, $0 is less than $5,800. The difference is even more significant in a scenario of economic downturn.
    It will be interesting to see how Oracle handles this.

    But Oracle does not seem to care because the niche is selling software. However, when entering the world of the express editions should confront its closest competitors by relaxing the limits on Oracle Database XE, remove certain restrictions to be at the level of competence DB2 Expreess C 9.5 which has no storage limits and uses up 2 processors and 2GB of RAM.
    As someone suggested in another thread, it is possible that Oracle Database XE is the leader of the Express editions, but must improve, I think it would be best to enter the world of the MacOS and relax the limits of storage, memory and CPU. We must offer competitive!.

  • How do I stop the Google Search Box from opening and scrolling down when I use the PGDN key?

    On My Home Page (Earthlink) - when I use the PGDN (or the down arrow) key to navigate - the google search box opens and scrolls down through recent searches. I really want to just scroll down the home page as I did in the past.
    How do I fix?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
