Drag the file from your email to your Desktop. Then, in Now Up-to-Date, go to File > Import iCalendar file... Then you can choose the file from your desktop and import it right in.]]> Tue, 02 Mar 2010 12:01:20 PST http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/506010#Post506010 Entourage2004/Mail.app http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/505422#Post505422 dsawyer

When you start typing an e-mail in Entourage and Mail.app, addresses popup that you have typed before some are not in your Address Book. Where do these e-mail addresses live?


Both applications keep a record (each internally in the application) of previous email addresses and will remember and pop them up even though they're not in Address Book. You can view and edit this list by going to the Window -> Previous Recipients in Mail. I can't remember where this is in Entourage.

In any case, it has nothing to do with NUDC or Now X.]]> Thu, 28 Jan 2010 10:05:01 PST http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/505422#Post505422 Contact Detail View Font Size & Attributes http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/510860#Post510860 smwallace

Thank you for the suggestion. I will forward it to our development team.

For features you would like to see added, I encourage everyone to use the Report Bug command in the Help menu. Messages we receive through the bug reporter feed into our feature request/bug tracking system. Once in there, we score them so that high priority items get addressed first.

Is there a way to remove the Now-to-Date and Contact from my computer, and transition entirely to Now X? Initially, I removed 5.3.2, but had to re-install both programs to use Missing Sync for Palm. It appears that Now X doesn't have it own driver, or somehow the driver did not download with my copy of Now X.
Please advise.]]> Wed, 02 Sep 2009 08:20:34 PDT http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/510824#Post510824 Change default file title http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/510792#Post510792 John Wallace

The name shown at the top of the window is the name of the selected tab. For the next release we've changed the default name of new tabs to be 'Untitled Tab' to give a little more help in figuring out what's untitled.

To change the name of a tab, double click on the text in the tab, and it will allow you to edit it. Changing that name will then change the title of the window as well.]]> Tue, 01 Sep 2009 10:39:10 PDT http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/510792#Post510792 Selecting multiple contacts in list view........ http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/507023#Post507023 Meggins

Hello! Can someone refresh my memory please? While viewing contacts in list view, I would like to select multiple contacts to print. I know to hold down the shift key to select a group of contacts which are together. Then, I remember to also hold the command key to add contacts which are not with the first batch. The problem is I must individually click each additional contact.My question is........ which keys do I press to highlight a large group of names while still keeping the first selected group highlighted as well? I hope this makes sense! Very Happy Very Happy

Thank you so much! I need to do a lot of printing from the contacts list and need to remember how to select different sections in an easy way!

For your information: I also got errors when using this application, and did not get an answer to my questions. So my advise is: do not use it for Address Book.

We have an active user on our NOW server and and of course share the serial number with an active user as the server database is hardly ever opened. We find this very very helpful as when a member of staff deletes a contact along with all notes, keywords etc etc for one reason or other and all users have already accepted the " "fred" has been deleted - do you want to accept this? " we only need to open the server user, not accept the deletion when NOW asks, park it another category and then move it back into whatever database it was in originally. Much easier than going into back ups which means that all changes since the backup are lost etc. etc..]]> Fri, 10 Oct 2008 18:21:17 PDT http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/506450#Post506450 Common data pop-up http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/502600#Post502600 Sean_dup1

I'll start the tips and hint ball rolling with one feature of Contact that I find few users are aware of.

In the detail view of a contact, you can right click (or ctrl-click for those of you with one mouse button) on any field and get a pop-up menu of the 20 the most common entries for that field with a count of how many times each entry is used.

So, for instance if you wanted to see what first names are most common in your database, and how many times the most common names are used, simply right-click on the first name field and you get something like this:

[attachment=0]<!-- ia0 -->Picture 4.png<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment]

The 20 most common first names would appear here with a number in brackets showing how many times that piece of data shows up in that field in the database. Clicking on one of these items automatically fills in the field with that value.

Other possible uses would be seeing at a glance, in which state or city most of your contacts reside, or quickly filling out a common company name or address. This feature can be especially useful for custom fields where you might want to standardize the way data is input. Say I want to have a custom field that describes a doctors specialization, and I can't remember if I use "Pediatrician", "peds", "Pediatrics", or "PED.", the contextual menu will act basically as a value list, allowing me to always select the exact same spelling, wording, etc.]]> Thu, 09 Aug 2007 06:24:49 PDT http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/502600#Post502600 Please Read Before Posting http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/502596#Post502596 admin_dup1
