Add a second address book

Does anyone know of an address book app that can be added to my Curve that won't confuse the syncing of the phone? My current contact list is synced with my office address book (via sync NOT server, which seems to be a problem) and I want to be able to add my personal address book to sync with my home computer. Suggestions?
Thanks.

I have managed to mispell my own name it's stew

Apple Mail: How do I add contacts to address book?

In the Apple Mail program, there is an option to add sender to address book. But when I do that, it just adds the sender to my address book, oftentimes without a name associated to the contact. So that contact could easily get lost.
I'd like to be able to add a sender from Apple Mail, then, at a later point, go to the address book and review who I've added, and edit their information.
Is there a way to add the sender to the address book, and have that contact added to a default folder within address book. That way I could later go back and review a bunch of contacts I've added at the same time. Thanks.

Adding an address to Address Book opens Address Book so that you can edit the card before saving it. Is that not happening for you, or is that happening but you want to ignore it until you're ready to go add other information?
If the latter, you could always create a smart group in Address Book with the criteria "Name" "is not set". Then just go in now and then and add names to everything in that group. Of course, the problem with this technique is you may have to go back and find that address in Mail and refresh your memory as to who it belongs to. It would probably be quicker, overall, to just add the name at the time you're adding the contact.

Add sender to address book no longer working

"Add sender to address book" no longer works. It flashes the menu bar as if it is working, however, when I go to the Address book, the new person is not there. This has been going on for a number of weeks.
Any ideas?

Keith,
Since you have confirmed that the maintenance scripts have been used, then you may benefit from the troubleshooting procedures listed in Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption.
I would also suspect .plist corruption with com.apple.mail.plist and/or com.apple.AddressBook.plist.

How do i add contacts from address book to iPhone using itunes 11.0.2

Check the manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf, but it is done via the syncing process with iTunes or iCloud.

TS3276 I cannot add contacts to the address book by clicking "add sender to address book."

In Apple Mail, OS 10.7.3, when I click on add sender to address book, nothing gets added. The address book doesn't change. When I try adding addresses via previous recipients, the button is active, but when I click, nothing is added to the address book. Any ideas for me?

Same thing happens to me. Running 10.9.2 on Macbook Air. Everything worked fine up until a few weeks ago then it stopped behaving.

Add Sender to Address Book Category?

Does anyone know if you can set up a "rule" or something of that nature to the Add Sender to Address Book feature? I would like all of my contacts from my .me email to be saved in a preset category in my Address Book.

Take a look at Andreas Amann's Mailscripts. His add to address book script instructions:
"Select all messages you want to use for creating the mailing list (for creating a mailing list, you would choose all messages in a mailbox which contains all messages on a certain topic).
Run the script and you get a list with all addresses contained in the selected messages - mark all the addresses you want to add to the Address Book using the checkboxes.
From the popup menu, choose which group you want to update with the selected addresses or select "Create new Group..." and enter the name for the new group to be created.
The script checks whether an address is already present before adding it to the Address Book in order to avoid duplicate entries. If additional information is available for an entry already present in the Address Book (e.g., full name information for an entry which had prior been email-only), the entry will be updated."

Speech command "Add sender to address book"

Hi,
This command 'add sender to address book' is recognized, but in the end, nothing new has been stored in my Address Book. What did I miss, or how could I fix it ?
Thank you for your help.

Undo 'add sender to address book' ?

Hi
I just accidentally added a whole load of people to my Address Book unintentionally
From Mail, I had a whole bunch of emails selected (100+) and chose 'Add sender to Address Book' by mistake (I intended just to add one of them).
So my question is this. How can I identify those contacts in my Address Book? 'Undo' was not available in Mail, and they don't appear to register in Address Book as 'last import'.
Is there a way of searching by date added?
TIA
James

There's no way to display contacts by date added. You could go to View > Last Import and this should display a new group called Last Import with details. not sure if 'Add to senders' are classed as an import tho.
If this doesn't work go to File > New Smart Group. In the pop up box for adding smart rules set the rule to Card has changed in 3 days and Ok this. You will now have a new group containing all the contacts that have been changed in the last 3 days which should include all the ones you are after. Just check there aren't any you need to keep before making any deletions.

want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible (see attached image). for some reason, all new contacts added through Mountain Lion appear as fullscreen caller ID images.

This would be better addressed in the iPhone forum, I would post there as well.

Mail crashing when I try to add name to address book

Hi,
as of today, I'm no longer able to add names to my address book by clicking on the person's name in my email.
in the "from" field, I could click on that, and have a list of choices to add to my address book.
Now, when I click on that, it crashes my mail.
what can I do to fix this so it's working again?
Thanks,
Dave

If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts. There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

Hello ac9000 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
If you were to create a contact in your BlackBerry, does it sync to your Mac Address Boook?
In your BlackBerry Address Book if you go to Menu>Options, under Contact lists do you have an email account listed? If so, if you click into it, does this list sync wirelessley to this email account?
As for your Calendar, if you open your iCal do you have any calendars listed?
If you create a new Calendar and make a test entry, does this new Calendar sync to your device? If you create a Calendar appointment on your BlackBerry, does it sync to your iCal?

Add Second Address Book

Is it possible to have 2 Address Books? I forgot the sequence but in opening iPhoto if the correct keys are held down while the mouse is clicked a second iPhoto is opened. I'd like to do that for Address Book.

actually, maybe for a different reason, i think two address books may be necessary for me. i recently purchased an iPhone and use MobileMe to coordinate my contacts. the problem is i don't want ALL of my contacts on my iphone (my contact database is large and unruly for such a device). i believe MobileMe will not allow me to push only a specific Group which would solve my problem.

File Sharing - Cannot disconnect or add user from Address book

Hi all,
Had a look through the support pages but haven't found an answer to this issue I am having....
I have recently wired a LAN between my macbook and a friends macbook. My problem is that I "connected' to my macbook using my username and password from the other computer. Once the computers were connected (and file share is switched on) he had full access to my hard drive (which was what I expected). However, we are unable to 'disconnect' the file share connection without disabling the file share option within system settings! The password was not saved in his keychain. Whenever we connect the computers he has full access to my drive!
In our case it is simple enough to ensure security as the example is simply to solve, however, the wider implications of not being able to manually disconnect from a source are obvious. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
The second problem I have is that I am unable to added a named user to the 'file sharing' user list. When I choose the user from my address book the mac asks for a password. Once this is entered and accepted the window disappears but no name is added to the file share list!
Apologies if these seem idiot problems but they are slowly driving me mad!!

I have had zero problems with Mail in Snow Leopard - it's been rock solid and very reliable for me.
I sort of cured the AddressBook problem but I have no idea why it works and I am not happy with my fix. What I did was deleted the contents of ~/Application Support/AddressBook and ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook and ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.addressbook.plist. I then rebooted and opened up AddressBook. The database was empty except for Apple and my own card which OSX creates by default. I then attempted to create a new contact and all of my old contacts magically appeared! I then deleted the new test contact and edited the contact I was originally trying to add a phone number to. I then quit address book and re-launched it and the new phone number was still there! I checked console.log and there were no errors reported this time (previously I was getting lots of error messages each time I quit and re-launched AddressBook.
I have no idea where those contacts came from since I cleared out the entire database and the cache, but whatever happened, it seems to work now.
BUGGY!

Cannot modify or add contacts to Address Book

I tried updating a contact today by adding a new phone number and everything seemed to be okay until I quit and restarted Address Book. When address book loaded again, the new phone number was gone. I tried this again with several contacts and tried creating a new contact and I can confirm that the address book is not saving changes or saving new contacts after a quit and re launch of Address Book.
I've tried rebooting and repairing permissions, same problem.
Console is giving me the error:
9/6/09 11:32:44 AM Address Book[212] couldn't write file '/Users/jax/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata/C49788A4-134A-11D9-8A52-000A95CCEC6C:ABPerson.abcd p'
But there is no explanation of why it cannot write the file.
I am running a new clean install of Snow Leopard with minimal installed software and I imported an address book archive that I exported from Leopard 10.5.8.
I tried deleting my entire ~/Application Support/AddressBook folder and re importing the old address book database, and I get the same issue.
If I delete ~/Application Support/AddressBook and then launch address book and attempt to add or modify a contact in my new empty address book, all of the sudden all my old contacts appear even after deleting the ~/Application Support/AddressBook folder. Where are they coming from.
Is it just me or is AddressBook in SnowLeopard incredibly buggy?
