Adding email addresses from numbers to address book

I am a high school coach and recently I had my players put their names and email addresses directly into my computer using numbers 08. My problem is that every time I try to drag them into my address book, it opens up Mail as if to send out an email. Please help! I can't even copy and paste because it automatically opens Mail. Thanks!

Open your Numbers spreadsheet.
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the email address cell without clicking on it.
Command+C (Same as Control + Click, and select Copy) to copy the contents of the cell.
Open Address Book.
Click Plus to add a new card.
Command+V (same as Control + Click, and select Paste) to Paste the contents of the cell into the email address field.
Back to Numbers, Copy the next email, back to Address Book, Plus to add card, Paste into the email field, and so on.
Alternate idea: Depending on how many names you have to enter, just print the spreadsheet and find a fast, accurate typist, and put them to work entering info in Address Book.
Using the shortcuts Command+C to copy and Command+V to paste, versus using the menus has literally saved me hours of time over the years!

Alias address from iCloud alias address cannot be used to send mails via iPad

Alias address from iCloud alias address cannot be used to send mails via iPad

If you still have this concern: You can only use the alias address linked to the main iCloud account that you backup your iPad to. You can check that going to Setting-iCloud and check the Account email address.
I think this restriction is rather rediculous. I don't see why we can't configure an alias from a different iCloud account the same way we do for a Gmail account. I hope Apple fixes this in iOS 6.

I can no longer select multiple addresses from my Mail address book when forwarding emails

Since updating to Mavericks I cannot select multiple addresses from my address book when forwarding emails.
I can select them individually using the + sign in the address bar but cannot select any when I open my Contact list as I have done with previous systems.
Additionly, the full address appears in the "To" window instead of just the name and without the email address. I have selected "Smart Address" from the Preferences menu, View section.
Help!

Why are you using a Hotmail or Live Mail SMTP server to send email with your Gmail account?
This is likely the cause of the problem. Use Gmail's authenticated SMTP server to send email with your Gmail account.

Is there a quick way to get email addresses from Mail into Address Book?

I would like to collect the email addresses that pop up when I start to type email addresses into the "To" area and transfer them into my Address Book, but have no idea where they are stored. Is this possible and if so is there a quick way to do it.
Thank you

I think I figured it out... I went into Apple Mail > Window > Previous Recipients and now im adding the ones not in my address book into my address book.
It seems relatively easy... Apple, this is why I love you.

Importing a group of names and email addresses from EXCEL to address book

I want to create a new group in my address book, so I can send one email to multiple addresses. I have an EXCEL document that contains the names and email addresses. Is there an easy way to import them into my address book from EXCEL?
Thanks, Teri

Hi,
I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to import 300 addresses from an Excel file into Address Book. The Excel file has been converted to tab-delimited (txt). I've gone through and deleted any extra line breaks within fields, commas, etc in the addresses.
When I go to Address Book and ask it to import the Text file, I get the dialog window showing me the fields it will import, but when I click on "OK", the program just freezes. Also, it tells me in the dialog window that it won't import specific fields like Street 2, City, State or Zip and there is information in all of those fields for every record to import.
I've been working on this for three weeks now and am at my wits end. I have never had a database program be so difficult to work with.
Any ideas?

Why Can't I slide email addresses from MAIL to ADDRESS BOOK :-(

Am I missing something?
Why can't I slide all the email addresses from an email to a group in my Address Boob. I am shocked that this is not easily possible.
Am I missing the easy way to do this?

In addition to the suggestions, [Mails Scripts|http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html] has an applescript that will collect all the addresses in an email and give you the option to select a subset and save to a group or make a new group.

Deleting a e-mail address from my comcast address book

How can I delete an e-mail address from my Comcast e-mail address book?

Navigate to your Inbox page, and in the toolbar click on Address Book. When it populates all your contacts, check the little box to the left of the contact you want to delete, and in the toolbar at the top of the list click on Delete.

Adding Email Addresses from Mail to Address Book

I send out a lot of emails that I would like to save in my address book. Address Book automatically sorts the address by first name or last name. This makes it virtually impossible to locate daily or hourly all the emails that you saved to your Address Book. Especially when your Address Book has over 3,000 addresses. Is there anyway to save email addresses using Mail directly to a Group in the Address Book?
Thank you.

Welcome to the discussions, Big.
If you select an address in an email message you can drag it and drop it onto a group in Address Book, making a new contact and adding it to the group in a single operation. You can't do this from Mail's Previous Recipients window, though you can use the PR window, ordered by date, to see who you sent email to three days ago - but not hourly.

Move email addresses from table to address book

hi there ...I have a table of email addresses in pages ...is there an easy way to move them into my address book ?...trying to send an email to them all ? ..mant thanks x

Import one or more contacts (from a file other than a vCard)
You can import contact information that you saved or exported from other apps. The files can be in LDAP Interchange Format (LDIF) or text format (tab-delimited or comma-separated value (CSV)).
If you’re importing a tab-delimited or CSV file, verify it using a text editor such as TextEdit.
Remove any line breaks within a contact’s information. Line breaks can cause the import to fail.
Make sure that fields in a tab-delimited file are separated by a tab, instead of by another character. Don’t include spaces before or after tabs.
Make sure that fields in a CSV file are separated by a comma, instead of by another character. Don’t include spaces before or after commas.
Make sure all addresses have the same number of fields. Add empty fields as needed.
In Contacts, choose File > Import, select the file, change the encoding if necessary, and then click Open.
If you’re importing a text file, review the field labels. You can change field labels, or ignore or not import fields.
If the first card contains headers, make sure the headers are correctly labeled or marked “Do not import.” Any changes you make to this card are made in all of the cards in the file. To not import the headers card, select the “Ignore first card” checkbox.
To change a label, click the arrows next to the label and choose a new label. If you don’t want to import a field, choose “Do not import.”
If a contact has custom fields, the information in the fields isn’t imported.
When you import contacts into an Exchange account, information that isn’t supported in Contacts is added to the Notes field.
If you import a duplicate contact card, Contacts asks if you want to review the cards. For more information, see this Contacts help topic:
Ensure your tables are formatted with the same headers as in the Address Book fields and same order.

Menu > File > Export > TXT

How do you add multiple addresses from Mail to Address Book at once?

So let's say I receive an email to myself and 50 other recipients and I want to add those other recipients to my address book. Do I seriously have to go through and select "Add to Address Book" on each of the fifty contacts?! Tried doing a shift click which will highlight all contacts, but then when you right-click to get the "add to address book option" it only displays one single contact at the top of the menu. I know there is a way to add select and add multiple contacts to address book at once because I figured out how to do it once a long time ago and I still have the 67 card group to prove it. I just can't remember how I did it!!! Didn't think it'd be such a hard feature to re-discover. Would love some help on this! Thanks.
David

there is no built-in way to do this. the only way i know is by using Mail Scripts
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
it has a script "Add addresses" that does just what you want.

Best way to import addresses from outook into address book?

is there a way to import a csv file in its entirety?
thanks!

Address Book can import a tab delimited or CSV text file. Open Address Book, select Address Book Help from the Help menu, search for: import.
Or you can try a third-party utility such as AB Transfer - 2.1a (VersionTracker or MacUpdate) to assist in transferring datafiles.

Select address from contact in Address Book

Hi Guys
I'm making groups in Address book and when I add a card that has more than one email address, how do I choose one specific address?
I don't want all 3 that some have, nor do I always want the top 'home' address.
TIA

Timothy (et al),
Control-click (or right-click) on the group in Address Book, and select "Edit Distribution List..." This will open a second window that lists all the contacts in the group. Each contact is listed along with all of their email addresses, and one of them will be bolded. This is the "default" email address, and the one that will be used when emailing the group.
Change this address by simply selecting another, and it will become the one bolded, and the default.

How do I import addresses from Word into Address Book?

I have all my addresses formatted as a label document in Word (so I can print on Avery labels). How can I import this information into Address Book?

You will need to convert the file so it appears something like this:
LastName<tab>FirstName<tab>Address<tab>City<tab>State<tab>Zip
Aalberg<tab>The<tab>3451 Avon Way<tab>Burbank<tab>CA<tab>91564
Jones<tab>Sam<tab>11112 First Ave. NW<tab>Atlanta<tab>GA<tab>30022
The above is the general format required. The typical way of doing address labels in Word is to create a mailmerge database that would be formatted like the above. Then you create a mailmerge document in which the fieldnames on the top line of the database are inserted in the desired format. You then create the output file by doing a mailmerge. Apparently you are doing it the brute-force way.
I hope this makes it clearer for you.
