Could not save Contacts entries in Mountain Lion

When I type new info in the News Contacts disappear after five seconds. Either way, I do not use iCloud. How to solve this?

May be a corrupt .plist.

Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

Quit the application.

In Finder and hold the option/alt key while clicking on the menu item Go. Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist. Move the .plist on your desktop.

Restart your computer, open the application and test. If it works fine, delete the plist for the office.

If the application is the same, return the .plist where you got it, crushing the latest.

If you want to make your library user visible permanently, run the command in Applications/Utilities/Terminal Server below.

chflags nohidden ~/Library/

  • HP Photosmart Premium C410b: could not save the scanned images

    I use the HP Scan application and the error message: -.

    Could not save the scanned images

    appears when you try to save in a folder as a PDF or any other format.

    Ironically, if I'm going by sending to the printer and then save to PDF it works!

    I checked and I'm using 4.2.2 with El Capitan HP driver software

    Any thoughts?

    Hello

    The application from HP for your printer is not compatible with El Capitan, so the output files incorrectly recorded.

    In the Hewlett-Packard folder move HP Scan to the trash and empty it.

    Before you install and use the HP Easy Scan application below which should save the files correctly:

  • LifeCam does not work, get a LifeCam error could not save your, photo, audio clip or video clip

    Just got a LifeCam Cinema.

    Installed the drivers-software, plugged the cam, noticed drivers installed.
    Tested by opening the installed LifeCam software. Describes the options to take photo, audio or video. "Or the other option does appear immediately the error" LifeCam could not save your, photo, audio clip or video clip.

    Shows Device Manager is installed correctly.
    Swapping the same USB ports it shows in the software, no device detected, a driver is re-installed during the exchange of the ports, it comes up with the 3 options mentioned before and again the same error message.

    Have also tried Google chat and shows no video, but gives the possibility to do video chats.

    System: Windows 7 64-bit.
    I have full admin rights on the system...

    Christophe ideas?

    Hello Striff,

    If the camera is not detected, it seems to me that the drivers are not installed for the device works, I suggest you reinstall the Lifecam drivers and check if you have the same problem.

    I suggest that you try different methods listed in the following article to resolve this problem:

    Running Vista Home Prem

    I have recently been struck by application pretty nasty virus/malware and want to do a factory restore. The problem I have is that when I select the option to repair through F8 at startup I get to the logon screen and all it shows is 'another user' in the way witness name of user/pass fields.

    I tried every possible user and the user/pass combo I could find and think. Every time I have enter a value in these fields and try to connect, I get the message "the specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted", if I try to log in without putting information in the field I get a msg of windows security saying that I have a user/pass to open a session.

    I looked in all possible aspects of user accnts, changed the need to open a session, deleted all passes, gave full control to all parts of windows and I still get the same screen.

    I need to know if there is a way around this or if the virus has changed the aperture setting of session for the repair operation? Also, if someone could tell me what measures the system and what files it loads when you browse the F8 repair op.

    Anything you could tell me would greatly

  • Vista the specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted

    Hello

    I recently had problems with viruses etc on my computer and because of its extremely slow performance I want to re install windows vista to make it to its factory settings.  I use a laptop HP 530 which has a HP Backup and Recovery utility, which is able to reinstall windows by using the backup that is held on a separate partition.  My computer is not outside of a work group and I'm the only user on the computer with full administrator privileges.  I know also that the password of my account and mine is the only account set up on the system.
    However, when you attempt to reinstall Vista, when the computer restarts at the beginning I wonder put a username and password.  I tried to leave this blank, enter the username and password for my account and nothing else I can think of.  Annoyingly. I get the error message "the specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted" every time and so I am unable to reinstall windows because I can't get past.  I reinstalled windows in the past and never encountered this problem.  As far as I know that I did not recently, major changes on the system other than the elimination of viruses etc.
    If someone could help me with this, I would greatly appreciate!

  • "The comments operations officer could not be contacted" during an attempt to access comments just after management

    I have to install some software after the provisioning of my virtual machines.

    Just after the provisioning once the virtual machine is running, I run the workflow 'copy the file of the vco to prompt' to copy my scripts file that works perfectly, I then run the "run a program on workflow comments" which fails with the error 'comments operations agent could not be contacted.

    I know that I get this error when there is no session open on the virtual machine (I don't want to manually open a session).

    So do no open session that triggers this error or I do something wrong?

    Is it possible to log on to the comments via vCO?

    Thanks in advance

    PS: VMware tools are installed and running

    It's a Windows running, but I found my error, I asked an interactive session in my workflow... who cannot work because there is no session to interact with.

    Just put my interactive boolean false, and it works like a charm!

    Hope this can help someone.

  • Need help with Copy-VMGuestFile: comments operations agent could not be contacted

    Hello world

    I am trying to copy and read files on a virtual machine.

    I tried the following, but it didn't work:

    Result:

    WARNING: The operating system prompted for the virtual machine «...» "is unknkow. The operation may fail.

    My VM is a clean install. I have tried to look for the error, but can find no possible solution.

    Most of them is related to Invoke VMScript or the VMware tool (something that I have not installed on the virtual machine).

    Can someone help me please?

    Or can you suggest me a way to read and copy files to a virtual machine?

    Thank you in advance.

    The Copy-VMGuestFile cmdlet uses the VMware tools in the virtual machine to copy the file. If you need to install the VMware tools in the virtual machine before you can use the Copy-VMGuestFile cmdlet.
