8600 FAX address book - Faxing from MS Word 2010

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium e-All-in-One - N911n FAX
When I FAX directly from Word 2010 / Win7Pro 64 desktop to the 8600, an address book of sort pops up.  I have several numbers in it now.  It’s there the next time I FAX.
It is NOT speedial – that is empty except the factory inserted faxback number.
I cannot find the software access to this address book.  I think back in the G85 days, one would just bring up the main printer software, click on FAX, and there was an entry for the address book.  I could be wrong – I didn’t use it much.  Didn't the software actually give you direct access to the speeddial?  BTW - what a pain - how many steps to get to speeddial on the 8600?  about 312?
Anyway – what is this address book, and how do I get software access to add/edit etc.  Or, do I have to pretend to want to send a FAX to get to it everytime?
All software and drivers current to last week.
[man, ain't this printer the greatest - i made the mistake of buying my first and last Lxxxxxk a few years ago  - this 8600 printer worth every penny - those that make a BIG fuss about their ink economy - NOT.  the 8600 ready to go no matter how long it's been sitting.  That was the only non-HP printer i have bought in my 40+ years of using printers - thanks, HP.]
(it said i had invalid HTML - and it changed the message - I can't see it)

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 - Faxes from Win 7 computer are cancelled

    When attempting to fax from the computer (i.e. word doc) the fax is cancelled.
    I have a wireless network, but the computer I am faxing from and the HP 8600 are connected to the router via RJ45 connections.
    I can fax OK from the HP8600 control panel, and all other printing functions work OK from this computer and other wireless connected PC's.
    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 on the computer I am trying to fax from.
    I have read other forum entries that seem to indicate that only a USB connection allows faxing from the computer.  Is this correct, or am I missing a driver for ethernet connected devices?  Thank you. 

    Hey there @rich126 ,
    I have been researching the issue you're having with your faxes from Microsoft Word being cancelled, when attempting to send a fax from your PC. I haven't found any concrete information stating that faxes will not work if an ethernet connection is being used, nor have I found any stating that it should work.
    Could you try connecting a USB and then try faxing from your PC again and let me know what happens?
    If you notice any other errors or messages please include them too and I will continue to look into this for you.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling the printer may help, if you wish to give that a shot.
    Enjoy the rest of your day

  • Lost Mail and Address Book ikons from HD

    Preparing to upgrade to Tiger OX 10 from Panther. Recommended backup all vital info. In transfer process, both Mail and Address Book ikons from HD to backup Superdisk repeatedly came up Error 50. Only success was to lose both ikons from HD and Question Mark on Address Book in dock rendering it useless. Now have Mail and a Mail copy ikon on Desktop that will not open. Likewise an Address Book ikon and four copies on Desktop that will not open. Fortunate that Mail ikon in Dock still operates allowing acess to Mail and Address Book on Mail site.
    Would like to move forward. Help for an average computer user would be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry for the delayed response to your e-mail. Thank you very much for taking the time to addressing my problem.
    After posting the question the hard drive further deteriorated to the point where the computer became inoperative. Ended up with a new computer and a major challenge in transferring info from old to new computer. After a long day with two friends and computer programmers by day, we succeeded in retrieving and transferring the info. Whee!
    Thanks again for taking the time to address my question.

    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?

  • Access Address Book data from terminal

    Hi everyone,
    I was wondering if there is a way to access Address Book data from the terminal. For instance, I would
    need a command that would output an address of a given person.
    Thanks in advance for your input

    this script could be used in Terminal (save the code below as
    "getaddress" and mark it as executable):
    case $# in
    2) firstname=$1; lastname=$2;;
    *) echo 'Usage: getaddress <firstname> <lastname>' 1>&2; exit 1 ;;
    esac
    count=`osascript -e "tell application \"Address Book\" to count (people whose first name is \"${firstname}\" and last name is \"${lastname}\")"`
    case $count in
    0) echo "$firstname $lastname is not in Address Book." 1>&2; exit 1;;
    1) ;;
    *) echo "There are multiple entries for $firstname $lastname in Address Book (unhandled error)." 1>&2; exit 1;;
    esac
    osascript -e "tell application \"Address Book\" to get formatted address of address of first person whose first name is \"${firstname}\" and last name is \"${lastname}\""

  • How to move Mail and Address book content from 10.3 emac to 10.5 iMac

    How do I move Mail and Address book content from my old 10.3 emac to my new 10.5 Leopard iMac directly, or do I have to move the names etc, one by one?
    Richard

    I cannot find a migration assistant. I have copied the Mail and Address Book applications over from 10.3 to 10.5 and tried using mailboxes import, but 10.5 Mail will not accept any of the options. The same for address book. Can you give more specific instructions?
    The applications, Mail and Address Book, don't actually store your data in the application. So, moving the applications over to your new computer will have no useful effect and could be detrimental if you replaced the newer versions with the old.
    Migration Assistant is in you Utilities folder and should have asked to be run during the installation.
    Your Mail data is stored in yourUserName/Library/Mail. The Address Book data is stored in yourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook. If your new installation is blank with no data, you can actually replace those directories on the 10.5 version with the old. For Mail, you also have to get the com.apple.mail.plist file from your old username/Library/Preferences/ folder and put it in the new 10.5 folder of the same name. Once that is done, when you open Mail and Address Book, they will update the data to the new format.
    Migration Assistant will do all of this for you.
    EDIT: Based on roam's comments, you may have to move the Mail manually. You can also just bring the Mail directory over to the 10.5 machine and use Mail's Import command to get all the mail out of the old Mail directory.

    only way is to restore the phone as new.  OR wait until IOS 7 comes out in the fall.

  • Migrating iCal and Address book data from Mac Pro G5  10.5 to new iMac10.6

    I last week moved from my old Mac Pro G5 with OS 10.5 to a new iMac 2.8 GHz Intel core i7.
    I succeeded pretty well to move my different files from one computer to the other not using the Migration assistant, which wouldn't work properly, but using my older Mac Pro as target disk.
    Everything apparently works well with the exception of the transfer of data from iCal and my Address Book.
    As suggested in a previous thread : kimaccdual: A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs, I tried to transfer the complete iCal and Address Book folders from : Home/Library/Application Support from the old to the new computer. This gave no result at all. Not any of the older data : appointments from iCal; names, addresses, phone numbers, etc (in actual fact : nothing) from the Address book application appears on the new iMac.
    Can any one make a suggestion as to what specific files with their exact location contain this information so that I could try to transfer these to my new computer with more success than so far.
    Thanks for your assistance
    Just for your information I succeeded to transfer Bookmarks from Safari, mails from Mail, iPhoto and iTunes data.
    What could be wring with iCal and Address Book ???

    Kappy,
    Thanks for your quick reply.
    I tried this for the iCal application, however without any success. In actual fact in Home/Library/Preferences I only found following references to iCal :
    com.apple.iCal.AlarmScheduler.plist
    com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
    com.apple.iCal.plist
    which i copied from the old to the new computer as well as the iCal folder in Application Support as suggested.
    As already said without any success.
    As far as Address Book is concerned only the same type of files, but related to AB, are located on both computers.
    Am I missing something or should I look for other files elsewhere f.i. in the "Contents" folder of the application itself ???
    Thanks for anybody's further assistance

  • Why is my iCloud address book different from my iMac address book?

    Why is my iCloud address book different from my iMac address book? How can I make everything the same?

    How is it different, does it contain duplicates, is it not syncing, please provide more information.

  • Since "upgrading" to OS X Lion Outlook 2011 sync services appear not to work and I have no contacts in Address Book apart from me!  Any ideas please?

    Sync Services in Outlook 2011 appear not to work in OS X Lion as I have no contacts in Address Book apart from me!  Any ideas please?

    I had all my contacts deleted one day from muy address book.   The Apple folks said that at times when MS Office sends an update it moves all your contacts from the address book to Outlook contacts.  I had to get into Time Machine to restore my contacts in the address book. 
    If you do this, be sure to update each group, not just the all contacts group because pulling up all contacts will not restore the contacts to the groups you had.
    If you sync with Moble Me, be careful to replace what is on Mobile Me with what is on your comptuer after you are finished restoring the contacts to your satisfaction.
    I haven't switched to iCloud yet so I can't talk about syncing to it.

  • Can not restore address book card from Time Machine

    I have a contact that disappeared from address book, I don't think I deleted it, but it is gone.
    I open Address book, open time machine, an address book window appears in TM and I type in Default (the missing card) and scroll back in time to where it appears (before the magic deletion). I select the card and push restore, TM scrolls forward in time, the finder re-appears with an address book window from time machine showing the contact. This window fades and the 'real time' address book window appears, it now has default in the search field, but the card has not been restored.
    Any ideas on what is going wrong or how to correct it?
    TIA.

    Hi,
    instead, why don't you try replacing the folder- Home Folder/Library/Application Support/Address Book.
    Regards

    Why does Lion KEEP reversing changes you make in address book and other applications without your consent and without wanting it to??? Plus address book will NOT import old address book contacts from Snow Lepoard 10.6 and keep them.  This Lion OXS 7 is .. becoming very frustrating ... it will NOT keep changes made in the Address Book and it has destroyed my contacts which I only have electronically since 10.4 in my address book. I am NOT happy with this OS7 it has a lot of issues and faults.  How can one stop automatic reversing of data when inputting???
    Please help! 
    Wished I NEVER upgraded to this Lion!!!

    Relax. Your address book database is corrupted.
    If you are syncing your Contacts with MobileMe or something else, disable it for now.
    Backup your address book by going to File>Export>Address Book Archive.
    Quit Address Book.
    Open your Library by holding down the Option (alt) key while selecting the Go menu in Finder. Select Library. Navigate into your Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the addressbook-v22.abcddb file.
    Open Address Book. It will recreate the database from the raw data.
    See how that works. If it is ok, then reenable syncing and see how that works.

  • Can't add new Address Book entries from Mail

    I can no longer add new contacts to the Address Book directly from Mail. I can go through the motions (right clicking on an email address brings up the appropriate options), but no new entry shows up in the Address Book. When I try to repeat the action, I can no longer "add" the entry, but instead it gives me the option of finding that entry. When I do that, it opens up the Address Book, but just defaults to the first entry. If I close and reopen Mail, it defaults back to the option of adding the entry again (as opposed to 'finding' it). Has anyone else seen this? (FYI, I can manually add entries to the Address Book just fine.)

    This hasn't worked since I did the new system install.
    That does not change my advice, whether you take it is up to you.

  • Can I import address book info from mac 10.5 to 10.7

    Can I import address book info from Mac 10.5 to 10.7?   It tells me "You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X.  You have Address Book 4.0.6."

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Try moving just the folder at Mac HD/users/~/Library/Application Support/Address Book from 10.5 to the same location in 10.7.
    Or in Address Book on the old Mac go to the File menu and choose Export Contacts Archive, copy that file to the new Mac and in Address Book on the new Mac go to File menu Import, browse to the archive file on the new Mac and choose it.

  • HT1692 Can I transfer my address book /contacts from a lap top using windows vista to my iPad mini

    Can I transfer my address book/contacts from a laptop with windows vista to my iPad mini?

    To sync from windows things like Contacts, Calendars, and Mail you would need to have Outlook on the computer 2003, 2007, or 2010.  This article might help you out if your setting it up for the first time. Hope it helps.
