Address Book–select one contact & copy?

What's a quick & one-step way to select a contact's name, company and address, copy them, thereby allowing paste into another application or document?

Well this still not working. I've checked the "sync automatically" with MobileMe, and now it starts syncing suddenly, as expected when the system thinks something has changed and needs to be updated. Let's say, after adding a new contact in my iPhone. That works flawlessly, from iPhone to MobileMe.
That would be great, if only it worked from MobileMe to my Mac. Again, "sycing contacts" takes forever, and in the end, any new contacts in my iPhone and MobileMe don't appear in Address Book in my Mac, and disappear from MobileMe, since that contact was not in my Mac at the time of "syncing". It's one way only, and one would think it would be easy to set this up correctly.
And still, after more than 30 minutes "syncing" contacts, it says the contact data "never synchronized".
Please, any suggestions?

  • How do I copy an address book from one user account to another?

    How do I copy an address book from one user account to another?

    You haven't understood me. Follow these steps:
    1. Log in the user where are the files you want to transfer, and open a Finder window.
    2. In Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /Users/Shared. Now you're on Shared folder, so leave that window.
    3. Open a new Finder window without closing the old one, go to the folder with the files you want to transfer, and copy them to Shared folder.
    4. After copying the files to Shared folder, go to  > Log Out, and log in the other user.
    5. Repeat the step 2, and you will get access to the transferred files. Now, you can open them directly from this folder, or you can copy them to a folder on your user folder

  • Address Book - Create multiple contacts at one company?

    I am using Address Book v 4.0.4 and I want to be able to create multiple contacts at one company without having to reenter the Company, Tel. and Address information each time.
    Is there a way to duplicate an address, say the basic company address, to make the process of entering multiple people at one company any faster?
    Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks, Michel

    I talked to Apple today and here is how you create multiple contacts at one address, company etc. without having to reenter everything.
    1) In Address Book, highlight a contact in the name list
    2) Go to the Edit Menu & COPY
    3) Go back to the Edit Menu & PASTE
    4) Make changes to the new 'duplicated' contact
    Seems easy if you know how to do it.

  • I am sending emails to a Smart Group created in my address book.   The contact in my address book has multiple email addresses.  Is there a way for the email to go to both addresses?  (ex:  work and home email address under one contact)

    In my address book, I have contacts that have multiple email addresses.  (ex:  home and work)   I have created a smart group off of the company name in the contact.  When I send emails, I want it to go to both email address listed in the contact.  Is there a way to make this happen?  Or do I have to have a separate contact for each email address?    

    I will agree with you on this one. Version 31 and all the fixes so far are a mess. Since I have been here answering questions for a little more than a year now I have learned to wait to upgrade until all the dust settles. I see no end to the dust storm version 31 has caused. I am still on version 24.6 and plan on staying there for the duration. At least until the developers comes to their senses and put out a working product.

  • How to transfer the whole address book from one no...

    Dear friend,
    Could you please advise me "how to transfer the whole address book from one nokia to another nokia phone via blue tooth connectivity. (move one by one is not convenience for my hundreds of contact.
    Thank and waiting for advice...
    victor

    If your phones have the built-in "Transfer" (sometimes called "Switch") application, try it.
    Otherwise, depending on the model(s) you can also copy all contacts to/from the memory card, and get them over that way.
    And you can also synchronize both programs to the same service (e.g., Outlook on a Windows PC using Nokia PC Suite).
    And newer versions of Nokia PC Suite can also be used to make a backup of one phone, and then restore to another.
    PC Suite you can find here: http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite

  • Synching Address Book with Google Contacts

    I currently use Google Sync to keep Google Contacts and Google Calendar synched to my iPhone and it works perfectly. I want to also sync Google Contacts to my Apple Address book, and while I know where to configure this, I have a question before I turn it on.
    In Address Book preferences if I check the box to sync Address Book with Google contacts is this going to wipe out my Google Contacts? Or will there be an opportunity to select which way I want the sync to occur? I want my Address Book to be the target in all cases and my Google Contacts to be the default master. I do not use Apple Mail, iCal, or Address Book on my Mac...I use Google Apps for everything, but I would like to keep my Mac Address Book as a carbon copy of my Google Contacts.
    Thanks for any help before I start this sync.

    I have had a similar problem. I can't find "contacts cleaner" in versiontracker. Is this an iphone app?

  • Data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts do not match.

    The data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts are different. How can I get my iCloud data to accruately reflect that of my iMac address book? It appears to be an initial synchronization issue. New entries synchronize fine. Appears that initial entries in my Address Book are not showing up in the iCloud Contacts list. Hense, My iPhone coantacts don't match those in my iMac.
    Is there a way to clean out my iCloud contacts on reload/re-sychronize it with my iMac Address Book?

    Nuts isn't it. This seems to have been an issue snce dAY 1.  iT FROSTS ME THAT THERE IS NO SIMPLE QUICK WAY TO UPDATE OR CORRECT the data in both programs simultaneously.. Thats why i decided to just put everytning into the i cloud address brook, and let the one other sit and rot.
    then i got smart and said, why don't I delete the outlookaddress book files. and save on confusion.
    result - both addresses books  and their contents became invisible to outlook.!!!!!! and I can find no way to correct this...to go back to the imperfect world that was.
    I did get the outlook contact s back from an archive - but any thing from icloud has become inaccessible from outlook.  (fortunately i can get the vcard infformation directly from icloud. but I can't access it from outlook mail.... means no replying, forwarding etc - and a time swallowing nuisance..

  • Sync Address Book with Google Contacts

    Hi,
    recently I am syncing the Mac Address Book and my iPhone with Google Contacts.
    If I add a birthday to one of my contacts on my iPhone, the birthday also will be added on Google Contacts. If I sync my Mac Address Book with Google Contacts now, the birthday doesn't show up on my Mac Address Book.
    So my birthday calendar in iCal always is empty...
    Any solutions?
    Regards and thanks,
    Mike

    Hi,
    Google uses Google Sync to synchronize your contacts with your iOS and OS X. But this, from Jan 30, 2013, is only available to the paid versions of Google Apps (read more on http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2716936).
    You can continue to sync on both iOS and OS X using the CardDAV protocol, which, IMHO, is even better.
    Follow the instructions in this post: http://support.google.com/mail/answer/2753077?hl=en
    Mountain Lion Contacts also supports CardDAV accounts. All you need to do is add the CardDAV account with your account credentials and it will synchronize again.
    Hope this helps.

  • Address book is scrambling contact info

    Address book on one of my 3 synched computers is changing info in contacts where it is randomly putting incorrect company info under the names, or a name on a company where that person doesn't work. So essentially I have new, duplicate cards with personal and company information scrambled. How did this mess happen?

    The exact same thing is happening to me. I had to spend about an hour yesterday correcting the mess across 4 Macs - wasted time. It is really a shame that Apple has not been able to sort out something this basic.
    I have read several posts in the past that the sync function is not stable - my experience of yesterday would support that view

  • Address Book and Google Contacts...?

    What's the story with syncing Address Book with Google Contacts?
    I set it up once, but since then it has not been able to syncronise changes made to either AB or GC (nb. even after clicking the sync button).
    Is there a trick to maintaining syncronisation???

    Now I'm no longer using the address book application, so answering this question would be pointless.

  • How to force Address Book syncing Google contacts immediately?

    Hi everyone,
    Last time I configured the Address Book as syncing the contacts with my Google account, but there was nothing changed in the Address Book. A couple of days later when I run Address Book again, the contacts in my Google accont was already transferred into the application. I mean I don't know when the synchronization would happen and I don't know how to force it happen immediately.
    I did some changes in my Google account and wish the modification being synced to the Mac asap. I'm desperate to see it happens since the modification was three days ago and the content in Address Book just won't change. I also delete all contacts in my Address Book and re-configure the synchronization but no luck either.
    Wating for the answer. Thanks in advance.

    I believe you can force the sync from isync. put an isync icon in the menu bar and when you want to sync AB choose "sync now" from the isync menu.

  • From old "Address Book" to new "Contacts" - lost my groups

    I have old 2009 laptop (Snow Leopard) and just bought new 2015 13" macbook pro running Yosemite 10.10.2
    I transferred my Address book over to Contacts but lost my groups.
    Instead it is showing my Yahoo mail folders on the left hand column.
    I use the groups a lot for work and really hope I don't have to recreate all of them.
    Thanks!

    My mistake - my groups are there! They transferred perfectly. Still getting used to my wonderful new machine. Sorry to bother you!

  • I synced Address Book with Yahoo Contacts BUT....

    My iPad Address Book and Yahoo Contacts are sorta synced, but how can I make my Apple Address Book look more like my Yahoo Contacts? Address Book displays the contacts by first names and there are LOTs of "no names" even though I deleted the duplicates in Yahoo.

    If you have contacts in both and you have the iphone/itunes set to sync with your Yahoo Address book, then the two sets should be merged.
