Add area codes to multiple contacts in address book

We are having to add area codes to contacts due to having to dial 10 digit phone numbers. Is there a way to do this for multiple contacts at once, rther than changing each one?

Export your database to a csv file, open in a spreadsheet, add area codes and then bring the file back.

  • How do I delete multiple contacts from address book?

    Hello,
    I have been using Macs for well over a decade. As a result my Address Book has become crowded with a large number of contacts for people I don't know anymore, most of which are out of date anyways.
    Is there a way to quickly delete multiple contacts? I think I have about 100 contacts to delete. Doing them all manually will take forever.
    Thanks!

    I assume that this will work, but I thought my first suggestion would work so ....Log into iCloud.com on your computer. Click on contacts. Click on the settings icon in the lower left corner - then click on Select All - then click on Delete.

  • How to copy the same address for multiple contacts in Address Book?

    Hi! I got a question, I didn't find an answer for yet.
    How to copy the post address from one contact to another, without manual entering. I mean if I have one contact with already entered post address, can I just copy it someway at once to another contact?
    I don't want cards to merge, I need separate contacts, that may have different phones, e-mails, but the same post address. Please, advise.

    Thanks! yes, this is a solution I'm following now. But I was wondering about the similar way as it is made in Daylite or Contactizer - you create company with name and post address first, and then can create a contact for that company. And company name and post address will appear in contact name.
    I just wonder why such a simple and useful solution isn't available in Address Book as default.
    I know there are many scripts written for Address Book. Maybe there is something for this purpose?

  • Why are some of my contact photos address book not uploading to iCloud contact

    I have added some new contact photos to my address book in my powerbook but it absolutely refuses to upload to the icloud and hence my iphone and iPad.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi MoLovin,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's photos not displaying in the correct order, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • How to edit multiple contacts in Address Book?

    Hi,
    I'm doing some cleaning in my Address Book; I have lots of contacts, where I'd like to put similar information (eg. Company or Address). Is there any way to edit fields in two or more contacts at once (like editing tags in multiple MP3s in iTunes?)
    Thanks in advance
    Paul.

  • Multiple Contacts in Address Book

    I have found that I have 2000+ contacts in my Address Book. Most of those are empty or repeated records. I don't know where they came from. I have recently hooked up mobile me and an iphone, so I should have push technology. Is there a script to delete them so I don't have to do it manually? Where did they come from?

    Need to take the time to edit/fix your address book on your computer. Once fixed there is a checkbox in the tab for iPhone syncing of contacts (may need to scroll down) that says replace all contacts on phone with what is on computer on next sync. Thus it won't try to merge but take your computer as master and remove all contacts on phone and replace with what is on the computer.

  • Adding notes to Mutliple Contacts in Address Book

    Does anyone know how to add a note to multiple contacts in address book? For example I have a list of people I sent holiday cards to and would like to add a note "Holiday Card 2005" to each contact. I do not want to create a "Group".
    Thanks!

    There's currently no way to do this within the application, but Address Book's applescript support should make this possible. You can select a number of records, and have a script operate on the people within the selection.

  • Using O2M I imported my contacts into Address Book. However upon exiting the contacts are not saved. This is on a new Macbook Pro Lion OS. How does one save the newly imported contacts?

    Using the program O2M I successfully imported emails from Outlook 2003 to Mail, and calendar events to iCal. However, repeated attempts to import contacts to Address Book have failed. The contacts appear to import, but when I close Address Book and reopen it, the contacts are gone. I tried File-Save, but Save is greyed out. This is a new Macbook Pro with the latest Lion OS. I wonder if O2M has not been updated to work with Lion. Or is there something I am overlooking in the import process?

    Hi Denisej and others who have encountered the same problem,
    I tried your work around. Unfortunately it did not work out for me because in my contacts there are an unknown number that still "refused" to be imported like that. When such a contact was in the group I selected for import the whole lot would be lost again after re-opening Address Book. Finally that meant that I had to import each contact one-by-one, each time with the need to close down Address Book. A job to go nuts and end up with a mouse injury. So I decided to use the Migration Assistant that Lion now offers
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3284404
    together with Windows Migration Assitant on my old PC. Obviously both Mac and PC have to be on the same network. For this I did not need to do anything special. Both make use of the same router and that is apparently sufficient. When migrating the contacts Lion creates a new account, so you need to log in to that new account to see your migrated contacts. I used the Export Address Book Archive function in the Address Book menu to copy the lot to my own Apple account. I got rid of the new account and I was finally where I wanted to be in the first place.

  • Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly.  Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync.  Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

    Solutions?

    No, I never really found an easy solution.  I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device.  In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs.  A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup.  It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad.  But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost.  When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might.  If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
    None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it.  I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
    Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

  • Can I add my AOL contacts to Address Book?

    Need some help getting AOL contacts into Address book, even or Mail for that matter.
    Thanks

    You can not add MSN Buddies to the AIm Buddy List.
    You can however create a Jabber ID and then with a Third Party App link to what is called a Transport that will connect you to the MSN Service for Text Only chats.
    Read the first two links in this section
    http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page5.html#_jabber
    The third link is the most up-to-date List of Jabber Servers with Transports I have found.
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my link to my website.

    Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

    Please i need some help with this issues
    thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    While there is no hard limit on how many contacts you can have in your device, there is a soft limit in that you can only have as many as your device memory can handle. Check your available memory to see if you have any remaining space. If not, then consider cleaning out/uninstalling some things you do not need in order to increase available memory for more contacts.
