Address Book - how do I remove image when printing labels?

Hi
Just getting ready to print the Xmas card labels - thought i'd add an image in the Address Book 'Print' Dialogue - then changed my mind!!!
Big mistake - there appears to be no (easy / obvious) way to remove the image!!!
Any ideas please.
Thanks

I never could figure out how to do this via the GUI and had to resort to a bit of "trickery". i.e.:
- quit the Address Book application.
- in Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences and double click
on com.apple.AddressBook.plist ( or just type
"open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
in a Terminal window
- in the property list editor, delete the value for
"ABImagePath" , which is under "0" in "ABCustomEnvelopeDefinitions"
- save the file
- quit the Property List Editor
- start Address Book

Double image when printing labels

I am copying in a graphic for Avery round labels. Everything looks fine on the screen, but when printed, some (not all) of the labels have the image, plus a smaller version of the image on top of it. Kind of like an inset. I have reloaded the printer software (I have an HP Photosmart c8180 All in one), used old avery forms, downloaded new avery forms, and a host of meaninless other things. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Hi, have you tried using another program to print the image?

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

In email, when entering address, the drop down list contains old email addresses. How do I remove them?

In email on my IPAD, when typing an address into the to: field, the drop down list which appears has old email addresses. How do I remove them?

Removing addresses from the Contacts list will not solve this. Apparently it will take time for such addresses to be pushed off the drop down list.

My contacts have been transferred from my iPhone5 to iPhone6 . I now need to back them up in a new PC in a separate address book How can I do it without adding all contacts from Outlook when I synch from iTunes ?

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

How do I remove images from Notes app?

How do I remove images from Notes app?
I sometimes find that, when cutting and pasting text from the web, an image is also copied (pretty much at all times I try and avoid this, but sometimes the selection process doesn't allow for fine enough control - e.g. a whole block of content may be selected, rather than just the few words I'm trying to copy).
I then find, once it's part of my note, that I cannot select the unwanted image and remove it. Can anyone tell me if this is something that can be done, and if so... how?
Thanks, Sebastain

Hi Drew & Kilgore*
Thanks for your replies. I also have and use Simplenote, although I went off it for a while, when it started crashing all the time on me. It seems to be more stable again now, so I'll start using it more regularly again, perhaps.
I am, obviously, disappointed that one can't simply select ANY object within a Notes document and choose to delete it. As I rather suspected, the only solution is an annoying workaround. Apple stuff seems to get more like this as time goes by. At least in my experience.
I solved the issue my own way in the end, but I guess it was close to your 1st idea DR, and your 2nd option, KT: I basically cut and pasted everything above, and then everything below, the image, and pasted both chunks of text into a new note. So it took two passes, and left me with the original note just displaying the image, which I then trashed.
Tapping to the right of the image followed by deletion was what I hoped & expected would work. But instead the image stayed put and the text below the cursor would simply slide along the right hand side, moving upwards as I deleted! Most bizarre, to my mind at least.
Anyway thanks for the feedback. But, for anyone else that might want to know how to do this, the answer is: NO, you can't select and delete an image once it's in one of your notes!

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade.
It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
After printing, trash the added versions.

In Address Book, how can i modify several contacts (several cards) at the s

Hello,
In Address Book, how can i modify several contacts (several cards) at the same time ?
for exemple : I have 100 contact which live in Paris, I select all of them together, but when I put "Paris" in the field "city", it puts "Paris" only in the fisrt contact !
how to edit several contact at a time ?
And I would like to put some kind of "tags", or words, in "remark", also by selecting several contact and edit them together...
Thanks by advance !
Alexandre.

Welcome to the discussions, Alexandre1975 et bonjour.
Just using Address Book this can't be done, but if you are prepared to try a little Applescript it is easy. This script will set the city for example - but only if there is already an address.
AK
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "Address Book"
set ContactList to the selection
repeat with ThisOne in ContactList
set city of first address of ThisOne to "Paris"
end repeat
end tell</pre>
(The recent upgrade to the discussions has disabled the link that allows direct opening of a script, so run Script Editor and copy in the script.)

How do I remove images from aperture?

Totally new to apple and aperture so I apologise if this seems like a somewhat noob question but how do I remove images from aperture (using the latest version, 3.4.1)? Coming from a PC and using lightroom I'm used to being able to remove images in two ways:
- removing the image from the "library", so that it no longer shows up in the program at all but is still on your hard drive (when I say removing it from the program entirely, I mean entirely, i.e. not sitting in a trash can or some other place where it's still taking up memory)
- deleting the original image off the hard drive
Is it possible to do either of these things in aperture, on both just a single image or a selection of multiple images, and if so how? I've tried googling this already and am getting a bunch of mixed solutions, none of which have really worked so far, so any answers would be appreciated. Thanks!

The answer partially depends on whether you have a managed or referenced library. Since you're totally new to Aperture, I'm assuming you have a managed library since that's the default.
FYI: Managed means Aperture handles image files and places them inside the library file. Referenced means you manage the image files and Aperture only points to (references) them.
For a managed library, select an image you want to delete. Type command-delete. (That's the reverse delete key next to the "=" key). (You can also right-click an image and choose Delete Version) That will remove the images from their Project and place in the Aperture Trash. They're still taking up space in the Trash. If you really want them gone for good, right-click the Trash in the library pane and select Empty Trash. Poof.
For a reference library, I forgot the exact details since I don't use this type of library, but you'll be asked (or can check a box) to delete the original file from the disk.

Welcome to the Apple community mohinderjeet.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

In address book how do I move all cards from my 'last import' smart group into a new group?

In Address Book, how do I move all cards from my 'last import' smart group into a new group that I will create? So far I am not being allowed to Edit Smart Group!
Thank you x

You’re going to have a very big problem and very soon. These missing pics are the beginning of trouble.
the total size of all my folders on my 60gb internal drive is 46.5 gb, yet only 1.9 gb is available,
OS X needs about 10 gigs of free space on the hard drive for normal OS operations such as virtual memory and temporary files. Without this space the machine slows down as the OS hunts for free space, files become fragmented and applications begin to crash. The risk of data corruption increases exponentially.
You must, as a matter of urgency, make space on the drive. I cannot stress this enough.
You may be able to recover the pics from your camera card using an app such as MediaRecover

Missing field when printing labels with Address Book

I am would like to print the labels for my clients Christmas Cards, using AddressBook. When doing print > label, I get all their names and addresses on the labal formt that I want but the company name is missing. How do I get AddressBook to include the field "company" into the label ?
Thanks for help.

If you need to include the company's and individual's name, here's a work-around:
1) for each such card, you put the individual's name and leave the Company field empty.
2) Put the company name in the field for "Street"
3) Put the street address, including Apt. # in the field for "City"
4) Now, put the City, State, and Postal Code all in one field: the field for "Country".
5) save the card.
When printing labels, proceed as follows:
1) Print>File>choose your Avery label under "Layout" and then click "Label."
2) Here, you make sure to check the box so it will "Print country." Don't forget this step, or the whole plan is a failure.
This works, but it only works if the card is in-putted as described above. It won't work if your cards are already set-up with the "company" field and the "name" field.

I have purchased a new printer. It is the same make as my old printer. How do I remove the old printer from my Mac?

I have purchased a new printer. It is the same make as my old printer. How do I remove the old printer from my Mac?

you could see if that make of printer has an uninstaller (may come with the installer)
or go to preferences, print and fax, and press the minus key ( - ) which should maybe remove it. Or ,do a a find, then type in the make of printer, and anything that looks like a printer driver for that make, well, maybe it's gotta go
just an idea

When I access the address book, how can I copy an address without having to open the person's info in the edit window?

When I find a person's address in the address book and highlight their name in one pane, in the lower pane their info shows up. Unfortunately, highlighting the information I want is disabled. So, I open their info in the edit window, and then click on the appropriate tab.
Getting a single piece of information is not so inconvenient, but when you're putting together lists it is rather onerous to do it that way.
Being able to highlight and copy off the address book panes would be cool. Thanks

In an earlier communication, I had said that this was possible, at least with TB on Windows, but I realize now that it's only possible when a certain add-on is enabled: [https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook]
http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/3_How_to_install_Add-ons_in_Thunderbird.html
Install the add-on, and see if you can now highlight info in the Contact Pane by dragging the cursor. Ctrl-C (or the Mac equivalent) to copy the highlighted text to the clipboard.
You may notice that right-clicking an address in the Contact Pane now shows a Copy command, but a bug in the add-on prevents this option from being active.
