  • How can I delete ALL of my Address Book entries and start fresh?

    Yes. I know that sounds extreme, but……
    I use Outlook on a PC at my office, and I have an sbcglobal/Yahoo mail account. I look upon my office Outlook as my ultimate contacts list (over 1,100 entries) and my calendar.
    I use the sbc supplied free Intellisync software to sync all of my calendar and contacts from my office PC into sbc/Yahoo. That way I actually get e-mail reminders of appointments, etc. in addition to my Outlook notifications. It is actually pretty nifty.
    I have also successfully signed-on to my Yahoo account at home on my MAC and exported all of my contacts from Yahoo (which had been populated by the PC Outlook listings via Intellisync) onto my desktop and then imported them into Address Book. But I did that some time ago and now my Outlook listings have been updated rather substantially. I would like to able to do a complete re-install of the new and improved contacts from the Yahoo repository.
    Again - I certainly do not want to delete the Address Book app itself – I just want to start with a clean slate so there are no conflicts or duplicate entries (which in fact is seemingly a bug in the Yahoo/Intellisync. Is there a way to completely wipe clean all of my Address Book entries?
    Thanks

    Hello Allan -
    Your help on a previous post was great re: my wanting to know how to delete the Address Book contents so I can re-import an updated list form my office Outlook, via my yahho/sbcglobal import.
    Well - here is an interesting quandary:
    I have successfully exported my yahoo address book/contacts as a .vcf file Yet - once I have expunged the prior Address Book data and want to now import the NEW Yahoo data to rebuild the database it only takes (enters) the phone numbers and does NOT import ANY of the address information. I am positive I did this once since our original exchange and everything transferred just fine, but now….?!
    What I cannot determine is where the fault may be: does the export NOT include the addresses (in which case I am doing something fundamentally stupid wit the export) or the vcf cards are complete, but Address Book is not “seeing” anything other than the phone #s and e-mail addresses.
    Any thoughts?
    Dazed and confused

  • How can I get smart group in address book to email?

    Hi
    I'm trying to send an email out to a smart group I created which has about 150 members.  I right click send email while in the address book.  The group ends up in the 'To:' field.  I do a 'cmd A' to select all and move them to the 'bcc' field.  I put my email address in the 'To' field.  I create the subject line and body text which containes a url and an image with a url link.
    When I press send it immediately moves to my outbox and sits there with no activity showing in the MAIL ACTIVITY preview pane.... I've left it for quite a while thinking it might take a while but nothing changes.
    When I send it to my self only it works.   I've tried taking a smaller group last names A-C 30 recipients and it does the same thing.
    Would appreciate some help if you have had the same problem or maybe know what I've done wrong.  Oh, I've also tried it sending it out on me.com and shaw.ca email accounts...
    Thanks

    If you want to "send an email" to the group, you need to get the group into your email client's Contacts first...
    Select your Group > Select All

    Importing and exporting vCards
    A vCard, or "virtual address card," is a standard method of exchanging data between applications. Address Book can create and read vCards, so if you have another application that also works with the vCard format, you can import or export addresses as vCards.
    Also, you can send your own card to other people in vCard format. They can use the vCard to add your information to their address books.
    You can also use vCards to add addresses to the Contacts list on your iPod.
    To create a vCard, drag an address card out of the Address Book window.
    To add someone else's vCard to your address book, drag it into the Address Book window.
    To create a single vCard with multiple entries, drag more than one card out of the Address Book window.
    To create multiple vCards at the same time, hold the Option key when dragging multiple cards out of the Address Book window.
    You can also work with vCards using commands in the File menu.
    Address Book also supports Lightweight Directory Interchange Format (LDIF). LDIF is an ASCII file format used to exchange information and enable synchronization of that information between Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) servers. You can't export information from Address Book in LDIF format; you can only import it. Address Book can import and export vCards.
    To determine the format of a document, select the document and choose File > Get Info. The format, or kind of document, is listed at the top.
    If another application won't accept vCards in the default 3.0 format, try changing the format to 2.1 in the vCard pane of Address Book Preferences, and send the vCard again.

  • How can I form a group in address book. I need to transfer a large number of emails from an excel spread sheet to form a group to send emails to.

    Hello, if you have the font that Photoshop is supposed to use to write the barcode, and each image is also listed in the spreadsheet, you can use the little known feature called variables: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7417a.h tml

  • Can I merge 2 groups in Address Book?

    Hello,
    Running Mac OSX Snow Leopard. My Address Book app is syncing fine with an Exchange 2007 server, but now I've got 2 Address Book groups on my machine...one for the Exchange account and another called 'On My Mac'. They are almost identical...so when I view 'All Contacts' everything is duplicated...quite confusing.
    Can I merge my 'On My Mac' group into the Exchange group?
    Thanks!
    Craig

    Not that I know of. I am in the same situation. If you want to see just the contacts on your Mac, click on the "on your Mac" item or if you want to see just your exchange contacts, click there. That's what I do. Works fine.

  • HT2486 Can multiple 'appleIDs' share a common address book?

    I would like to share a common address book between multiple users, so that we can see and update a core set of contacts.  Is this possible, as I understand each address book to be assigned to an applieID.

  • Building Groups w/Address Book and Mail

    I've built groups using the Mail help.  Groups show up fine in Address Book.  The problem is when I try to send an email to a group (have clicked on the group itself and have also just designated the group in the address bar of the email) only some members of the group are showing up in the address bar.  I've compared cards and the info entered is identical, except for the differences in email addresses.  Am I missing something here?  Thanks.

    If you're running Lion, as your profile says, why are you posting in the Tiger forum. Mail in Tiger is very different than Mail in Lion.

  • Syncing smart groups between Address Book and iPhone

    When I do my regular iPhone synch, it will import regular groups but doesn't seem to want to import Smart Groups. Am I doing something wrong? If not, is there a workaround? Thanks, Katie

    That's the only solution I've been able to come up with, but it makes Smart Groups useless in my Address Book. I was hoping I was doing something wrong.
    Glad to know others are doing the same thing.
    Thanks so much.

  • Delete row option doesn't work and then becomes greyed out. Need help troubleshooting.

    Hello!
    I'm hoping that someone can please help me troubleshoot an issue I'm having with a table in my form. It has a menu associated with each row that allows you to add, delete, reset, etc. rows. The name of the table on the form is the Purchase Items table. It's the first table on the form.
    Here are the steps to recreate the issue:
    1. Create 3 rows in the table
    2. Click the menu ("X") button associated with the first row.
    3. Select "Delete this row". Nothing happens.
    4. Click the menu ("X") button associated with the first row.
    5. Select "Delete this row" again. Nothing happens.
    6. Click the menu ("X") button associated with the first row. You'll notice that the "Delete this row" option is greyed out.
    My best guess that the rows are being deleted in the background which would explain that if I have 3 rows, and "delete" 2, that my delete option is then greyed out because I believe there is logic in there such that if there is only 1 row then grey out the option to delete rows. I was planning to attach the file as I have seen others do but don't see the option. I'm happy to provide the file via email if that's easier. Thank you in advance!
    Saskia

    I've posted the solution here:
    http://www.fieldeffecttechnologies.com/AdobeForums/PCard.pdf
    The instance manager methods were being given the wrong index of the row to work with. They need to be passed the index for the row that the button you are pressing is in (of course). Instead they were given some v8b index, which I honestly cannot decipher as to what that number possibly means. (Math.round((v3-v4)*v6........)???
    Anyways, I fixed it up and also changed some of the logic in the sub menu to determine what's greyed out.
    I like that feature! Might even show it to a client!

  • I can't delete in the search/address bar on my cursor moves out of the box

    When I try to delete after typing a word in the search bar after the cursor moves out of the box I can't i have to reload the page before i can start typing again. Also happens when i just click off the box does not let me type any more without refreshing. I get a beep sound when i try to type or reload

    Clear Safari and the reset the iPad again. Settings>Safari>Clear history and website data. Now reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    I would also reset the router by unplugging it for 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

  • Unable to delete group in address book

    I am trying to delete a group in address book. I use the menu option (Edit/Delete Group) but the group does not go. The group is empty - I removed all addresses in it.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks

    Hello again:
    That file is in your home folder ( ~ library>preferences). That should not delete anything. However, although I move something to the trash, I wait a bit before emptying trash (you can always put something back where it came from).
    OS X rebuilds preference files (plist) as needed and sets them to default values. Preference files may (rare) become corrupted and cause all sorts of problems.
    You might also run repair disk from your software install DVD.

  • Export/Import groups from address book?

    How do I export group lists from address book and import them to another MAC?

    I can import individual contacts but when I export and then import a group list it imports as single contacts that go into the general contact folder.  I cannot seem to import them as groups.

  • Add receipients of message as group in address book

    ok, this seems simple, but once again, Mac disagrees and makes it impossibly complicated. I typed in about 15 email addresses for a mass mailing I did in Mail recently, and I want to save these people as a group. I'll send emails to them all again in the future. here are the problems I've encountered:
    1. when I select all the addresses in the "sent" message header, and then select "add to address book," it only adds one of the addresses. ridiculous.
    2. even if I was to add them individually, I would then need to manually create a new group in address book, and then add each address one by one. again, ridiculous.
    3. one suggestion on here was to export my entire address book, then delete all entries, add the ones from the message, save them as a group, then re-import the original addresses. again, and again, ridiculous.
    why is this so difficult? am I missing something?

    figured it out. when in doubt, drag.
    highlight the entries you want to save, open address book, create a new group name, and drag the entries from mail and drop them on the group. done.
