Since upgrading to os 10.6, I can't drag email addresses into my address book

Since upgrading to OS 10.6, I can no longer drag email addresses into my address book. Is there a quick way to restore this function that had worked in OS 10.4 but is apparently disabled in 10.6? Is there a work around someone figured out that's quick? I wish Apple would send out a patch to fix this problem. Any news on this front?

James,
Although slightly different than the problem you are having, perhaps 10.6: Change Mail's 'Copy Address' behavior - Mac OS X Hints will help with your problem.

  • Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.0, I can no longer sync Contacts and Calendar from my iMac (10.7.5) To my iPad2 (6.0.1) via Wi-Fi.  I believe All my settings are correct.  Device is recognized and sync From iPad is possible.

    Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

    I honestly don't know if DW CS5 is compatible with Win 8.1.  The OS compatibility FAQ only mentions DW CS6 & CC.

    Maybe someone else can shed more light on this.

  • Calls have been dropping out mid-call (after initially working) with full reception since upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS5 (can hear them but they can't hear me).

    Calls have been dropping out mid-call (after initially working) with full reception since upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS5 (can hear them but they can't hear me). The call initially works but then after a minute or so, they stop hearing me, even though I can hear them. Sometimes it goes the other way and I can't hear them.
    Please advise how to remedy ASAP.

    PS: I have had full reception bars when this has occured on a 3G network in Sydney, Australia (3 Mobile).

    Macs run OS X. What version of that do you have?

  • Can anyone help with Address Book problem ?

    Hello ! I hope someone can help. I just tried to open my Address Book application, which I guess I haven't done since our upgrade...and I am unable to open the app. message comes up saying: "You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X. You have Address book 4.1.2
    running os x 10.6.4 for a few months now since my husband upgraded it...???
    Any thoughts? I can still hit the Address book icon from within the Mail program in order to address something, but of course you can't edit, etc. from there !
    thanks in advance !

    Pop in your Snow Leopard DVD then open the Optional Installs folder. Double-click on the Optional Installs package. You can selectively reinstall some applications by checking the ones you want. Check Address Book then click on the Install button.
    This will reinstall the original version of Mail. Now download and install the 10.6.4 Combo Updater from support.apple.com/downloads/. This should fix the problem.

  • Can't drag-and-drop into applications folder

    Just got a new iMac last week, my old ibook finally died. I'm trying to install firefox in the imac and i can't. It downloads fine, I can open up the .dmg file, but then I can't drag the icon into the applications folder. I can drag it, but nothing happens when I try to drop it. I've tried using the alias folder, the folder on the dock, just doing it in the finder window, nothing works! tried re-downloading, everything i can think of. Since it is a new machine, do i have something in preferences set wrong? Help!!!

    Do you have "allow user to administer this computer" checked off in your account in System Preferences -> Accounts ?
    Also, right click on your Applications folder, and hit "Get Info" Make sure that the group that owns it is "admin" and "admin" has read and write privileges. If it's admin, but it says "read only" click on the lock, put in your password, and flip up the group privs and change it to read and write.
    If the group is NOT admin on the Get Info screen, you will need to launch /Applications/Terminal.app and issue this command:
    chgrp admin /Applications

  • I can't drag new snippets into mini bridge in CC

    I can no longer drag new snippets into mini bridge after an upgrade to CC.  When I try to drag an item into mini bridge I see a green plus icon for a fraction of a second then in disappears. This is the second computer (macbook) I've had this problem on. Similar situation with both computers. Everything worked when I was on CS6, but after installing CC it stopped working. Uninstalling CS6 doesn't seem to have any impact on the problem.

    I don't think I understand what you're trying to do. When you export a snippet, you're creating a separate IDMS file in an external location. If you wanted to move the snippet to a different external location, it would make sense to use the full Adobe Bridge application.
    If I want to use a snippet file on a page, I can definitely drag the snippet from MiniBridge onto the page, and I get the Place cursor, and can place it in InDesign CC.

  • I can't retrieve my address book data from G Drive to import to new addr book in Snow Leopard

    I am really annoyed by Apple these days. Just had to purchase iwork and sundry other software after upgrading to Snow Leopard and the Lion on my system. Now, have just received my wife's iMac from being "fixed" the hard drive was brloken. It was supposed to have had Snow Leopard uploaded for me. It was not so I have just done that, however I can't get the address book fron the G Drive to upload to the new system. Each time I access the address book on the G drive I get a message saying that it is an old system (4.1.1) and will not open in this system. How do I get that data off the G Drive and onto the upgraded iMac?

    Thank you for getting back to me.
    I tried what you said. I moved my old address book file into my new hard drive but it still opens "empty".
    When I look up my addresses in Spotlight it finds them and seems to recognize them at address book files but it doesn't want to open them. When I double click on them it opens address book but the not the file.
    When I click on the file and look at "more info" on it, I can see the information is in there.
    I don't want to loose all my contacts.
    On a side note do you have any easy tips for backing up?
    Thank you again,
    Trent

  • I can, I can't get my address book to snyc with my ipad2.  I'm using Outlook express 2004.  I followe the steps in itunes, but still no contacts.  Any suggestions?

    Can't get my address book to sync to IPAD2.  Using Outlook Express 2004.  I followed the steps in Itunes, but still not contacts.  Any suggestions?

    Mine is doing the exact same thing, and nobody on any of these threads has had any luck fixing it yet, so far as I can tell. iSync is worthless since it simply won't see the ipod and basically is not used at all now as .mac is done through its own preference window. What did work for me, and was quite easily done, was to just open your ipod through the finder and delete the vcard data in the contacts folder. Export your contacts from address book as a vcard to that contacts folder on your ipod, and it all works fine.
    Still won't sync...but at least this only takes a minute to do. I'd like to actually fix it though.

  • Can't move email address contact information into sub-folder.

    I created a "top level" address folder named "Personal Address Book". Under that top level, I created a sub-folder named "Family". I entered the name, email address, and work telephone information for my son. That data was then copied (not moved) to the sub-folder named "Family."
    I then entered his wife's name and telephone number (don't have her email address data) into the "Personal Address Book" I am unable to get that data copied to the "Family" sub-folder.
    What is going wrong?
    A user should have the ability to either MOVE or COPY the information from the top level folder to only one, or more than one, sub-folders. This would allow the user to have a relatively short list in the top level folder, and the information organized in the sub-folders without duplication.

    Let's back up a bit. A Mailing List is not a subfolder, despite its appearance. You can't MOVE a Contact into a Mailing List, but you can COPY a Contact into a Mailing List. So any Contact in a Mailing List must exist in the parent address book.
    If you don't habitually send a message to multiple recipients then you haven't any need for Mailing Lists.
    OTOH you have suggested that in fact you may wish to send the same message to various government officers, in which case a Mailing List may be useful. You can of course create multiple mailing addresses; so if you write to A, B and C on tax matters, you can create a Mailing List named Tax constining A, B and C. If you write to B, C and D on defense matters, then you create a Mailing List named Defense containing B, C and D. If you frequently want to bombard everyone indiscrminately with the same message, then create another Mailing List called All and containing A, B, C D and all the way up to Z. Mailing Lists are subsets. The can intersect, as we see in a Venn diagram.
    Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses are hard-coded into Thunderbird. If you delete the underlying data files they will simply be re-created the next time you run Thunderbird.
    You can, as gnospen said, disable or modify the collection of addresses. You can arrange for such collection to go to another address book of your choice, or disable it altogether. I'd advise against writing them into a "working" address book, simply because it will become polluted by what you perceive to be random addresses. Leave it set to write to Collected Addresses and you know that the random addresses are contained.
    You can rename both Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses via the Config Editor, though I have never understood the motivation to do so.
    How do you, internally, go about organizing or choosing whom to address a message? Some users seem to be visual and like to pick from a list and ask how to see their address book when composing their message. To them I point out the Contacts Sidebar. In the Write window, press F9 to see a small address book at the left. You can select Contacts from this to add to your message.
    For myself, I mentally visualise the intended recipient, and then start typing his name or address straight into the addressing box. Thunderbird will quickly start offering contacts form my address books which match what I've typed.
    In this second case, it doesn't matter which address book any contact is stored in, since it will be found wherever it is. So I may as well just put all of my contacts into Personal Address Book, since no further organization or subdivision is actually needed.
    If you feel a need to organize your contacts, then create new address books as required. When using the contacts sidebar, it shows only one address book at a time, so for the visual types amongst us, it winnows down the displayed addresses to the selected address book. Create a "Government" address book, select it, and the Contacts Sidebar will show only your legislative correspondents.

    It sounds like you use Quest as your ISP, or whoever you have as your ISP is being taken over by Quest. If this is the case it is possible that your email server is being transitioned to Quest and you will need to change your email address and server settings.
    I am only speculating since I do not have enough information. I suggest calling your ISP or Quest and ask their help desk about this.

    While in the Address Book press the Menu and than Options. Just type in RSET
    (capital letters) and you'll be able to wipe out all your Desktops where the
    Wireless synchronization is Not available. You can keep intact the last Desktop
    where the Wireless Synchronization is Yes.

    My iPhone is stolen. How can I get my address book back from the iCloud? I should have synchronized my iPad address book. However, I loss some recent contacts from iPhone.

    I use my iPad to get the address book backed up by iCloud from my iPhone. However, I cannot see the recent new contacts from my iPad. Is there anyway to check the iCloud server to see if my address book backup from my iPhone is still there?
