Address book-change to larger font?

My eyes aren't what they used to be. I find the current address book entried difficult to read. Selecting zoom does nothing. I could export my contacts and try a different address book but I would rather not have to do that.

My MacBook Pro will not sync address book changes with my IPhone. Why? It used to.

My MacBook Pro will not sync address book changes with my IPhone. Why? It used to.

Then you may have to try manually resetting the syncservices folder by following Julian Write's post (from https://discussions.apple.com/message/9274781#9274781):
Ok, as you can't reset SyncServices in the "normal" way, you'll have to resort to the "other" way:
Although it's not advised to do so in normal circumstances, you'll need to manually delete the SyncServices folder.
Before doing so, you MUST make a backup of both your Contacts and Calendars:
In Address Book, choose *Export > Address Book Archive...* from the File menu.
In iCal, choose *Back up iCal...* from the File menu.
Then, make a backup of the SyncServices folder located at:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
By backing everything up first, you don't risk losing anything.
Finally delete the aforementioned SyncServices folder and restart the Mac. This will force Mac OS X to recreate the SyncServices folder, and hopefully fix your problem.
I believe in Snow Leopard you can back up your calendar in File>Export>iCal Archive rather than File>Back up iCal as posted above.

Contacts app, print Address Book, change the font

Am trying to print my Contacts list in the Address Book layout. It displays as 2 columns when it is just name, phone and email. When I select Address, there is too much info for 2 columns and it displays as 1 column. I would like to change to a smaller font size so I can have the 2 columns.

Never seen or heard of it.
Try deleting the iCal plist and container. The first in user/Library/Preferences. Second in user/Library/Containers.

Address book and Mail header font

Hi all.
Have a question regarding changing the font in the headers in mail and in address book. How do I do that?
All my email headers are showing up in some type of bold condensed font as well as the information for any of my info in addres book.
This has changed "all of a sudden". I'm guessing that there is a font conflict or even missing font somewhere?
I've deleted any duplicate fonts, run font finangler, deleted fontbook as I use font reserve as my font manager, cleaned out all the font caches, cleaned out any misc fonts in the system/library/fonts folder, the library/fonts folder, the user/library/fonts folder and the applications/system/library/fonts folder.....any other suggestions?
My guess is that I'm missing a font but have no idea which one and from where?
Thanks for any help!

HI David.
Thanks for the response. I had already seen that article. After I made my original post, I spent a couple of hours "experimenting" with my fonts and various folders and I did get things working properly.
What I figured out is that I need to have the Helvetica dfont in my user/system/library/font folder and make sure there aren't ANY Arial fonts in there, they conflict with each other for some reason.
What was weird is that I had to do this in a particular order. Had to remove the Arial fonts AND the Helvetica dfont, logout and then back in, then put the Helvetica dfont in the folder, logout and back in and everything was fine. If I didn't do it in that order, the fonts were garbled....who knows.
Thanks again for the response, alls well that ends well!

Gconsync drops postal addresses with big Address Book changes?

After many years of procrastinating, I've thrown a lot of contacts into my Address Book just in time to send Christmas cards. I've configured Address Book to talk with Gmail, which causes gconsync to run once an hour.
I've observed that when I do large amounts of changes in Address Book, like a dozen or so in an hour, the postal addresses of random contacts get lost at the Google end. Once this happens, efforts to fix the contacts one-by-one seem pointless. I have to save/export my Mac Address Book, delete contacts at both ends, then reload from my backup to make things right.
Anyone else seen this behavior?

Finally fixed it. I am quite sure one of your address books is messed up. To fix it:
1. Figure out which address book is messed up. I have three, iPhone, iPad, iMac. Shut off iCloud on one of them and try address book updates on the other two. When the problem disappears, you will know which address book is messed up.
2. Next fix the address book on the errant device. I did it by restoring, WITHOUT using a backup. Can't use a backup because the same error will be there. This is a pain because you need to reorganize your aps, logins etc. So, you might want to try shutting off iCloud and removing the address book from the device. Then turn iCloud back on. It will load a new address book. I don't know if this will fix the problem. Might be hidden files that have the problem.
3. This, by the way, also caused a huge power drain for me. You can tell if you have the same problem by opening address book and checking if it is continually trying to sync.

Address Book - Changing the address format?

A couple of years ago I imported all my old contacts into address book. I've now discovered that I had the address format set to USA in preferences and I'm a UK user. I've since changed the preference to UK but it this only affects new addresses that I add.
Is there a way to change those old addresses to UK format? I've tried exporting a V card and re-importing but it doesn't change.
TIA, Steve

Hi Steve, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I'd take a look at Barney-15E's Script here for converting to gb/uk...

Address Book-changing sync method?

When I sync'd for the first time, I was asked how I wanted to do it, "merge, erase, etc." Now I need to change from one to another. How do I do that?

Actually, the app is not Address Book, it is Contacts. On the Mac, it is Address Book.

Can't delete email AND address book changes randomly

As of yesterday I can highlight an email, hit delete but it doesn't go to the trash. I'll check my 2nd account, go back to the first account and all deleted messages are there. Plus, it will run continuously. Currently it says it is sorting. NEVER had this problem before and need help.
Secondly, my address book will randomly change the card names. I can go in, correct, save, close and the next time I open the address book some of them will be different. For instance one card is titled "Lexington". It has changed to "Lexington Lexington" several times or it will pick up the name of the last person in Lexington and show up as "Lexington Lastinger"

What sort of email account is this, POP or IMAP? What version of Mac OS X are you running; your profile says 10.3, but if that's true, then you're way behind the times and in the wrong forum. We need accurate information in your profile, so you need to update that.
Secondly, my address book will randomly change the card names.
No, this is not random. Mail and Address Book communicate, so when you receive an email from someone in your Address Book, if the name doesn't match the email address for that card, it is updated with the name in the email address.

Address Book, change default date field?

I have added a date field to address book. I use it to set a creation date for a contact. Currently, the default content for this field is 12/31/2000.
Does anyone know a way to change this? I’d like the field year to be the current year.

Hi Adnan,
I am fairly sure that you cannot access or change the behaviour of the date/time field to that extent. You can script the field to have a particular value or to be a constant from the date selected; but you cannot define the default value.
Happy holidays,
Niall

ITunes Fails to See Address Book Changes

Recently (suddenly), ITunes has stopped reflecting changes made to my Address Book. No changes made on my Macintosh are downloaded to my iPhone and no new groups added to the Address Book on the Mac are listed in the Contacts area in ITunes. This problem persists if I delete everything in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ and reimport an archived version of the current data.
Is there a file somewhere that iTunes looks at to determine the current contents of the Address Book? It clearly doesn't look directly at the Address Book data (unless there's a serious iTunes bug).

That has no effect.

Address Book changing fields on duplicate contacts ?

My Address Book is duplicating contacts, BUT mixing the fields.
Original contac: last-name = "Rosales A", first-name = "Eduardo". No middle-name used.
I get a second contact with: last-name = "A", first-name = "Eduardo". No middle-name apears.
Then yet another with: last-name = "A", middle-name = "Eduardo" and first-name = "Rosales".
Forget about physical addresses that will by magic put a "country" when there was none defined.
Forget also that it (Address Book) is adding pictures to contacts, I don't want to, some correct (when asked to some friends) but some incorrect (a friends photo on a Company contact with no relation).
I'm aware of using iCloud and "on My Mac", will duplicate info, this is already taken care of.
It all started when I was using and syncing ONE MacBook and ONE iPhone. By magic, I did not change anything.
Now I'm using iCloud, Lion on the MacBook, iOS 5.0 on the iPhone-4 and the iPad-2.
Now, if I delete one instance of a contact, say on the iPhone, it will disapeare on the MacBook.
BUT tomorrow, during a "sync over the air", again the "A" last-name will show up.
Best regards,
Eduardo Rosales.

If you are going to reactivate synchronization, then do this first:
• launch iSync
• open the Preferences… dialog
• press the Reset Sync History… button
This will leave your sync clients registered and your data intact, but remove any indication that you have ever synchronized before, clearing the truth database and triggering an initial slow synchronization once you re-enable to process and initiate your next event.

Entourage Address Book - change views

I want to change the "view" on the Entourage Address Book so I can see each address as a card without having to click through so many screens. Can any one help??

Since Entourage is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

Address Book Changes Main Account Name . . .

Hello,
Lately I have been noticing a very strange behavior in Address Book/iChat/Mail (they all reflect the problem once it happens).
I have my first name as "XYZ" (for example), and my last name is left blank. Then, out of nowhere, it fills in the first letter of my last name, and correctly too!
Where is this coming from?
Could it be autofill from Safari? Or something in Mail?
This also then appears in my iChat handle (which is clearly linked to the Address Book, because when I go into the Address Book and delete this letter from the last name field it disappears from iChat instantly as well).
Anybody?

I discovered that it is coming from Apple Mail. When you have your name in Apple Mail in the "Previous Recipients" it somehow gets grabbed and transfered from there. When you remove it from the "Previous Recipients" and then set your Address Book how you like your name to be, it sticks!

How do you change the address bar to a larger font?

All font in the address bar and various windows seem much smaller. I went in to general preferences and chaged some font details, but it doesn't seem to affect the address bar. Is there any way to change the size?

When you go to a website and enter a username and password that haven't been saved, Firefox will ask if you want them remembered. This question appears in an arrow panel connected to the key icon on the address bar.
If you click on other things, or switch tabs, then the question will disappear. But as long as you remain on the same web page, the key icon will remain visible so you can bring it up again manually.

If you haven't saved your Gmail username and password, and you're not promted to remember them, see the following article.
