Address book labels doubled?

I'm trying to print some labels from Address Book and I noticed that most addresses are doubled. I have a suspicion it has something to do with iCloud. My Address book has iCloud as a header for my groups. I have selected the group I wish to print labels for with 151 records. When I check out the print setup it says I have 263 address records to print. When I look closely at the print preview I see that there are two of most of my addresses. When I look back in my address book I do not see any duplicates. What I can I do to remove the duplicates from my labels?

I've just noticed the same phenomenon, despite not having mobile me or iCloud. I'm using 10.6.8. When i start an old mac using 10.5.8 everything functions correctly. I have 23 adresses to print and the final amount being printed has risen to 34 due to some being duplicated.
Have just sortrd my problem. I chose Menu>Card>Look For Duplicates and ran the merge option. I had to do this about 10 times. I closed and restarted Address Book at one point. Eventually, no more duplicates were found by the routine and hey presto, no more duplicate labels!
Hope this helps.

Address book - labels layout - other formats

Hello Forum
Does anyone know of a collection of other layouts for the address book label layouts. At the moment I only see Avery std, Avery A4 and DYMO.
There's a whole set of labels of other label makers eg DECAdry that I don't find in the list. Nor do I know of (or find) a site that maps DECAdry on Avery equivalents.
I can of course simply add it as custom layout but I was wondering if there were other alternatives?

UNBELIEVABLE ADDRESS BOOK label printing still archaic

Unreal. Address book label printing is a joke. So they still have not looked at the several phonecalls with suggestions i left with techsupport in regards to the fact that you CANNOT change the position of the label you want an address printed on, therefore wasting a whole avery sheet for just one label everytime you print. What a way to save the environment Apple. Think different.

Yes, this is incredibly silly. Drives me nuts everytime I want to print a label, so I do it in Word. Dumb.

Address Book Labels

Anyone know why it is that having imported all my contacts from Palm Desktop, address book labels all the email addresses as either "work", "home", or "other"?
Surely "email" would be more appropriate...
And can I do anything about it, other than manually change all 375 contacts?
Thanks,
Mark

Another Address Book label question

Is there a way in the address book label printing to select the position of one label to be printed on, let's say, a 30 label sheet of Avery standard? Many times I just want to print one address label but have a sheet of labels that have several labels missing. I want to be able to select the start position as to where the label is printed, otherwise it always wants to print in the first row, first label and I have to use a brand new sheet of label paper so use up the 2 #1 postions. (Turn it upside down)
Thanks,
Glen

Hello:
Unfortunately Address Book only prints a contact name or a company name on a label. Hopefully this will change in a future version.

Address book entries doubled on just one device

I have 3 macs, an iPad and an iPhone and all the data is synchronized with iCloud. However on one of the Macs the Address Book entries are doubled. Would someone have any idea how I can resolve this issue ?

Are they doubled in a single account or are there two accounts with the same contacts.

Address Book Label Layout

I'm using mail to print address labels. Several addressees are couples with different last names. If I list one of the couple as a spouse or partner in my address book, the program will list both names on the first line of the label. However, it's inconsistent, doing it with some couples entries and not others. I don't see any difference in the individual entries to explain the different layout. Has anybody had this experience?

I found the solution in the "spouse" thread. Thomas Corper said," Select "print", then go to "LABEL" tab. Once in there, change "addresses:all" to your distribution list. It gets rid of all the other names you have and just includes the title name."

Address Book label field selection

Hi there. I have OS Lion. In Address Book I store Prefix, Forename and Surname. But on the mailing label want to just print the Prefix and Surname. Can't find a way to edit the field selection for the label!!!! Any help much appreciated.

That "*do not* first click on EDIT" hint from you, Michael, will save me much future misery. THANK YOU! How nice it would be if Apple fixed the problem. It could be as simple as allowing multiple undo's. If you catch your mistake on the first keystroke, you're okay. That second keystroke is the big problem. I use "notes" in Address Book to store all kinds of information: passwords, phone conversation histories, order confirmation numbers, just to name a few. Even using care I've lost data. And I kick myself for having known better. Now I'll only click EDIT when I'm entering data "above the line."

Address book entries doubling on macbook pro, but not on ipad or iphone, latest everything. Any suggestions?

Using icloud, address are correct on iphone 4s, and ipad version 1, but are doubling on my macbook pro. All updates are current. Any suggestions? Driving me crazy.

Check the duplicate contacts are not in another account other than your iCloud account. Turn to Users and Groups view to see what accounts you have.

Address Book label printing incorrect

I am getting spouse & child details printing on some address labels in one group and on all labels in another group. These fields are not supposed to be there at all.
'(Title, first name, surname) and (spouse/child fields)'
What can be done to correct this?
I'm using Avery A4 J8157 stock.

Hi All, it's Christmas time again and I'm having the same problem - random family additions to the contact name, and it didn't happen last year. My ugly work-around is to invoke the Maiden Name field and cut and paste all the family contacts into there. At least the names don't get forgotten and it sorts out the label problem.
Like others, the fact that Apple doesn't have the decency to acknowledge a problem so we all know where we are, makes me seethe. Who are we anyway? Just a bunch of idiot customers? I'll send an email to Steve Jobs, but the chances of a reply are those of a snowball in Hades.

Address Book Label Prinitng woe's

How can i print my Me card's address all over an Avery sheet. Last time i tried to do it it just worked. Today i can only get one label top left. I have done this before without thinking about it. What has happened since my recent system reinstall.
This is actually quite urgent as i will look a fool by the end of the week if i cant get these labels run off.
Please help
Jonesey

Hi:
Create a new group and put your card in the group. Then duplicate your card with Cmd-C and Cmd-V to copy and paste. Make enough copies of your card to fill a sheet of labels, then print the group.

Address Book opens blank and nonfunctional

Here's what the window looks like:
http://www.pbase.com/strangeghost/image/73357438
None of my addresses are viewable, though mail can still pull them in as though nothing is wrong at all. I've tried deleting the Address Book plists and relaunching the app, and replacing the address book app with a copy from another mac where it's working normally. Nothing has affected its abnormal behavior in the least.
I'm running a G5 iMac, OSX 10.4.8 with all updates in place. My system is running entirely normally otherwise.
Any help or ideas?

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, proceed as follows:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that Console displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
3. In the Finder, go to /Applications/ and open Address Book by double-clicking on it. Look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result. They may provide some clues.
In the meanwhile, take a look at the following article, in case this is a font issue:
