Address Book Entries Far Fewer than Contacts

When I look at my Address Book, only about 75 email address show up (along with a couple hundred entries with telephone numbers).
But I have many more email contacts. I mean, if I start a new email and just enter the first letter of an addressee, scores and scores display as possibilities.
How do I "export" all of Mail's known addresses to Address Book?

THANK YOU. Between your input and the powerful scripts I found at ...

  • Address Book entries unusable in Outlook

    Hello all,
    I have updated iTunes, iPhone and Outlook to the most current software versions.
    Here is my problem. Whenever I add or update an existing contact on my iPhone and then sync it to Outlook on my PC the address book entry (email) for that contact becomes unusable. If you try to edit or delete the address book entry you get the message "an invalid ENTRYID was passed in". If you try to use the address book entry to send an email it fails because it can't resolve the address book entry to an email address. This only happens with contacts sync'ed from the iPhone to Outlook. Even if I create the entry in Outlook, but edit it on the iPhone, like adding a picture to the contact, the next time it syncs to Outlook the address book entry for that contact then becomes unusable. I can repeat this problem over and over on my PC with my iPhone and on my wifes PC with her iPhone. I opened a ticket with Apple, but that went where I expected it to go which was nowhere. Googling shows that many others are having the same or a similiar problem. Any ideas on a permanent fix ? Is this a known bug ?
    Thanks,
    Duke

    While Apple has never said anything official, my observations point to a problem in 1.1.3 where an entry created on the phone that did not have a first and last name did not create a proper index entry in the Outlook contact database. The problem (for me) was fixed in 1.1.4, but entries made in 1.1.3 were still corrupt. You can fix the broken records in the contact database by exporting the PST file, then importing it (in Outlook).

  • Re-sync address book entries

    Hi,
    I get contact information from GroupWise to Sugar and vice versa, but I can't get changes to be synced.
    Means, I create an address book entry in GW, the contact will be transferred to Sugar.
    In Sugar I do some changes, but these changes will never be synced back to GW.
    What must I do to get these running?
    Best regards,
    Dirk

  • "FROM" shows email address, not name, for a few address book entries

    What is strange is that for the people it happens to, Mail IS able to successfully cross-reference them to an address book entry by showing their real name (and photo if I have one), in the BODY of the message. In other words, Mail will always resolved email address into names in the body of mail messages (100% of the time if I have a matching address book entry), but will only show names rather than addresses in the list view maybe 85% of the time. Weird. Seems like mail should either know the sender and display a name instead of address, or not. My issue is that is knows them in the body but doesn't in the messages list (above the preview pane).
    I can't figure out what about the address book card for these few people is any different from the others one which do the name matching perfectly every time.
    A small concern here, I know, but it is very annoying that I can't figure this out. I first noticed it back with Mail for Tiger. Any ideas?

    you are right. It is easy to prove and Mail doesn't do anything of the sort when i try it. On the other hand if I change the From field when composing a message, any recipient (using mail or any other email client) will see that name. that name is sent with the message and you can see it if you view the raw source of the message. Mail certainly never changes raw source.

    If you have a Mac, it's pretty easy. But you don't (should I make a pitch for you to get a MacBook Pro in the future)?
    This should help you out to sync it back to several non-Apple software:

  • Duplicate Contact/Address Book entries on iPhone

    why do I have duplicate contact and address books entries on my iPhone? I never had this problem until I upgraded to iCloud. I have an iPhone 4 and it is upgraded to the current OS.

    If you are using Outlook 2011, make sure you have the latest service pack and update.
    Make sure your Mac Book and all devices have the latest update.
    If the Calendar on the Mac Book is correct go to step 3
    Assuming Mac Book Calendar is correct, remove accounts from iPhone, iPad.
    Reconnect account to iPhone, iPad account.
    All calendars should now be in sync.
    There are times when the Mail, Calendar, Contact application has been corrupted (Outlook 2011, Mac Mail, Entourage, etc).  This will cause all kinda of issues on your devices.  You have to repair the mail client first.  In the case of Outlook you can delete the profile and recreate it.  In Mac Mail you can rebuild (from Tools on the menu bar)

  • How can I delete ALL of my Address Book entries and start fresh?

    Yes. I know that sounds extreme, but……
    I use Outlook on a PC at my office, and I have an sbcglobal/Yahoo mail account. I look upon my office Outlook as my ultimate contacts list (over 1,100 entries) and my calendar.
    I use the sbc supplied free Intellisync software to sync all of my calendar and contacts from my office PC into sbc/Yahoo. That way I actually get e-mail reminders of appointments, etc. in addition to my Outlook notifications. It is actually pretty nifty.
    I have also successfully signed-on to my Yahoo account at home on my MAC and exported all of my contacts from Yahoo (which had been populated by the PC Outlook listings via Intellisync) onto my desktop and then imported them into Address Book. But I did that some time ago and now my Outlook listings have been updated rather substantially. I would like to able to do a complete re-install of the new and improved contacts from the Yahoo repository.
    Again - I certainly do not want to delete the Address Book app itself – I just want to start with a clean slate so there are no conflicts or duplicate entries (which in fact is seemingly a bug in the Yahoo/Intellisync. Is there a way to completely wipe clean all of my Address Book entries?
    Thanks

    Hello Allan -
    Your help on a previous post was great re: my wanting to know how to delete the Address Book contents so I can re-import an updated list form my office Outlook, via my yahho/sbcglobal import.
    Well - here is an interesting quandary:
    I have successfully exported my yahoo address book/contacts as a .vcf file Yet - once I have expunged the prior Address Book data and want to now import the NEW Yahoo data to rebuild the database it only takes (enters) the phone numbers and does NOT import ANY of the address information. I am positive I did this once since our original exchange and everything transferred just fine, but now….?!
    What I cannot determine is where the fault may be: does the export NOT include the addresses (in which case I am doing something fundamentally stupid wit the export) or the vcf cards are complete, but Address Book is not “seeing” anything other than the phone #s and e-mail addresses.
    Any thoughts?
    Dazed and confused

    Why not using nick names ? The only downside is gw7 and earlier
    nicknames don't show up in the address book. GW8 does show the
    nicknames in the address book.

  • Address book entries erased - need help

    Does anyone know how to recover erased Address book entries? I've found that Contact info inside a card can be easily erased/typed over and there does not appear to be an easy way to "undo" as the Edit/Undo command doesnt seem to work in this application. The downside of using Mobile Me is that my devices are getting wiped out quicker than I can copy down the info and save it.

    Genius said I had to re-install.
    did you try what I said? i suggest you do that before reinstalling. that's quick and easy and won't hurt anything. if the problem is with your AB database file then reinstalling won't help but what I said will. and since you have time machine you should not reinstall in any case. you should just do a full system restore from TM from before the problem started.

  • Can I sync Address Book and iCal to put contact info into iCal?

    I use Address Book as a contact/customer list and use iCal to prepare my schedule for work. I usually type in the name of the customer I want to see in iCal. Is there anyway to import or drag names out of Address Book into iCal so the location & contact info will be included? I don't want to invite the customer. I just want to input the info into iCal so I don't have retype a name that is already in my Address Book.
    If I have customer "xxx" in Adress Book and I am planning on visiting this customer tomorrow. Is there anyway for me to transfer/import this info to iCal without physically typing "xxx"? When I look at my appointment I would love to see the contact info for "xxx" in iCal when I click on individual appointments.
    I hope this makes sense.

    Hi,
    You can link to the Address Book entry with a URL. See my script +Link to Address Book+ on this page http://www.nhoj.co.uk/applescripts/ which creates a link from the currently selected person in Address Book. These can then be added to the URL field in iCal or the notes field if you have more than one per event.
    Best wishes

  • Reply works, but address book entry doesn't

    I have an odd problem that's making me a litttle batty. I have an friend I e-mail regularly and--since recently switching to Mail from Eudora--I've been finding that some of my messages are not getting through.
    I'm not 100% certain, but it seems that when I send a new message that's addressed from the Address Book entry, the message is never received. But when I REPLY to a message from this same recipient--same address--the message goes through just fine.
    I've reviewed the address again and again and it's entered correctly.
    When I look at the Long Header, one difference I note between the received and no-received maessages is under Content-Type.
    A successful message has:
    Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=Apple-Mail-8-603300258
    And a failed message:
    Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed
    Another difference is that the failed messages--the ones that originated with me have something called:
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
    While the messages I reply to don't have that line at all.
    The recipient--by the way--is at work at a large organization. So I wonder if their mail servers are blocking messages with certain kinds of encoding?
    =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
    OK, OK...this just in. While I was composing this message, I was also franticly corresponding with the adressee in question, trying to troubleshoot this. I may have solved my own problem, but I'm going to post this anyway... In hopes of solving someone else's problem, and possibly getting some responses that will enlighten me further (cuz I just don't get this).
    On a wild guess/hunch, I went into PREFERENCES/COMPOSING and changed the Message Format: from Rich Text to Plain Text. The next test message got through! One difference (if it matters??) I found in the Long Header was the
    Content-Type changed from:
    text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed
    to
    text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed
    So anyway...I'm completely flummoxed. Any ideas, clues, answers out there? I'm not going to trust yet that this problem is completely solved. So I'll leave this as an open question for now.
    verbosely yours,

    Hmmm... there's nothing fancy about the signature (no bolds, itals or other styles or colors). But does that mean that it IS plain text? My setting when I made the signature(s) was Rich Text, I'm sure. So would that apply, even though it's plain for all intents and purposes? And if it's not. How is it changed to Plain Text?
    As far as the SMTP settings. I tried one change last night. I changed the Server settings from "smtp.ispname.net:username" to "smtp.ispname.net:[email protected]". When I tested a message to the address/server I've had the most problems with, the message arrived successfully. But I don't think that proves anything as yet. The nature of the problem has been mysteriously intermitent anyway. (that message had my regular signature as well).
    AS I'd mentioned, I've been moving stuff out of my Sent Mail folders to keep things organized and for reference (Is doing that OK? is Sent Mail suppposed to be left wher it is for some reason?). But on informal investigation, I would say that all of the messages I've sent--original or reply--HAVE shown up in the Sent Mail folder.
    The discussion thread I'd been involved in with you before is:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=347863
    However, I haven't added any posts since way back then.
    Thanks you for any insights you can give me with this. If you're not on Apple's payroll, you should be.

  • How can I put a contact in two or more Address Books without making a 'new contact' for each?

    I would like to put several of my contacts in more than one Address Book; but, if I move them (drag'n'drop) from one they no longer remain in the original Book...which I want. I'd like to segregate different interest groups and file them in separate Address Books, but many of my contacts fit in several Address Book identities. Any solution to keep from having to make whole new contact addresses for existing contacts? Thanks for any help you might offer..... NJR

  • Multiple Address Book Entries that all send to the same GW account ?

    Why not using nick names ? The only downside is gw7 and earlier
    nicknames don't show up in the address book. GW8 does show the
    nicknames in the address book.

  • PLEASE HELP!!!!  My Address Book Entries Keep Disappearing

    I work on contract for multiple companies and have 6 different email accounts. Until today, I only had 1 profile in my address book that was marked with my main email address. Today I went to add my name and the corresponding email into Address book, and then my email and ical froze and I had to Force Quit. All Address book entries were gone. I reloaded my address book, went back to ical to view the invitation and AGAIN!!! all address book entries were gone. It appears that I can't set up "my info" with different email addresses. I would be ever so grateful if someone might have a solution.
    Many Thanks for any ideas....

    I recommend that you book a Genius session at an Apple Store. It sounds like your iMac or iPhone has a corrupted Contacts function and it will keep generating blank contacts.
    If you can open Contacts on the iMac then create a new group (file menu), drag your genuine contacts to that group then File/Export the group with Export vCard. You can use this to recover the contacts later.
    BTW - best not to post your iMac serial number and UUID online.
