Address book linked - new feature?

Faces now offers me people from my address book to use to tag photos. I'm pretty sure this has only been available in the most recent update but I'm not sure.
It very handily imports names and email addresses which you can then use with facebook.
Has anyone found a way to link a "Face" that ou have already created with an address book file?
I only seem to be able to do it when creating a new face.
Cheers
Andy
ps i know about http://prosopagnosia.dessibelle.se/ but think it should be possible just in iphoto

I agree.
This is a new feature in the latest update and doesn't appear to have an 'off' switch.
I'm surprised this has been developed/added as a feature as most users will have a substantially smaller number of people that they wish to build photo albums around compared to the number of contacts in their address book, and so it inevitably makes it more cumbersome to name faces.
For what its worth, I have less than 20 close friends and family on my 'corkboard' that I'm interested in going through the time investment of face recognition for verses 500+ address book contacts.
I will suggest to apple that they at least prioritise the names previously used in iPhoto within the drop down list.

Transferring info from old address book to new Mac

my subtopic ought to be 'writing a subject heading that relates to the question I want to ask'. That question was;
Can anyone help me?
My last iMac died and I've got a new one. I've also got the hard drive from the old iMac, but when I try to open things from it, such as the address book, the new version opens and I can't find a way to get at the info that is in my old address book. I want to e-mail friends to tell them that I'm back on-line, but I can't get at their addresses. Advice received with thanks.

The Address Book data is stored at the following location - Home > Library > Application Support > AddressBook.
With the Address Book application quit on your new iMac, transfer the AddressBook folder from the old hard drive and place it in the same location on your new hard drive at Home > Library > Application Support.
This will replace the existing AddressBook folder in this location.
Launch Address Book and all contacts from the old drive should be completely restored.

Cant transfer address book to new torch 9810

I have a torch 9800 that is linked to the blackberry enterprise server. I have backed it up many times through the BB desktop software on my imac. I recently got a new torch 9810 linked to an enterprise server as well. I switched devices using the BB desktop software and everything except my address book (contacts) trasferred over. When I try to transfer over the address book, it is dimmed out and reads "dimmed entries are read-only and cannot be restored. Does anyone know how to get around this?

How to sync contacts and Address Book with New IPad?

Hello!
I'm having no luck syncing Contacts. I've set iCloud settings to sync Contacts, as shown in the iPad manual. I want to sync Contacts on my new iPad with Address Book (5.0.3) on my laptop (10.6.8) and with Address Book on my iMac (10.5.8).
I've had some success by 'manually' using iTunes on the iMac and the laptop (iTunes>Devices>iPad>Info button>Sync Contacts>All Contacts). But this is not pulling contacts from the iPad to the iMac or laptop; not syncing, just one-way traffic.
Thanks
Potty

You'll have to update to Mac OS X Lion.
It's in the requirements listed at the bottom of this page -> Apple - iCloud - Your info up to date on all your devices.

Problem importing Address Book to new OS

I recently upgraded my macbook pro from leopard to snow leopard.
I backed up all my data to an external hard drive. I did not archive address book.
How can I import my address book data to my new OS?

Are you using Mac Mail or Comcast's web-based client? Where are your addresses now?

How to transfer address book to new iPhone 4 (which has micro-SIM)?

Since I will be unable to put the SIM card from my Blackberry Pearl 8100 into the micro-SIM slot of the iPhone 4, how can I get my contacts into the new iPhone 4? The B'berry just has accumulated contact info SIM transferred from previous Razor, not address book or calendar or anything from my iMac's now Entourage 2008 program.
My iMac's address book has 350 entries collected over the past 20 years. I sure do not want all that significant amount of old, historical info to be on my phone, so a direct sync would bring a ton of crap to the iPhone (don't want that).
Is there a way to:
1) mark some (read most) contacts NOT to transfer in a sync?
2) or any (relatively) easy way separate current 'phone related data' from the rest of the data which is more related to email and physical addresses info that I (think I) have no use for on the phone. It seems like my iPhone address book would be a confusing mess if all data from my iMac were transferred over.
Any ideas on this are appreciated.
I have been reading of the huge frustration on iPhone pre-order 'trying' today, so I have not attempted yet. I need to decide if my address book transfer would be best done at an Apple Store or if I should have it shipped to my home for me to deal with the data transfer. Hmmmn.

Sorry about my sentence structure. If I recall right I was responding late at night.
With that said, my suggestion is to yes create an gMail account (if you don't already have one).
Find a way to export out your current contacts to a .CSV file.
Google's gMail address book has an option to Import from a .CSV file (maybe some other formats too).
Once imported, verify everything looks good and edit as needed.
When you get your iPhone there is an option to have the iPhone get and sync it's address book with Google.
Once setup, it allows you to edit contacts via a computer (browse to gMail, edit contacts) and the iPhone will automatically get the changes. Also any changes you make on the iPhone will automatically show up in Google's gMail contacts. Thus no need to ever plug phone in to sync contacts. You only need to plug in to sync music and other data.
I find this process far better than having to plug in to ensure my contacts get backed up.
You can read more about it here on Google's site:

Mail not using my Address Book on new iMac 10.6.2 - not autofilling ...

I have recently switched to a new iMac with a fresh install of 10.6.2.
My Apple Mail app is not grabbing address book contacts automatically even though I have checked the box to auto-complete addresses. This always used to work on my old machine.
Any ideas why this might be happening ? Should I delete the preference file to rebuild it ? Is there a setting I'm not aware of somewhere else ?
Thanks,
Ed

These instructions are for 10.8. In 10.7, the application is called "Address Book."
Back up all data.
In Contacts, select
File ▹ Export ▹ Contacts Archive
from the menu bar, and save the archive to your Desktop.
If you use iCloud, disable contact synchronization in the iCloud preference pane. When prompted, click Delete From Mac. Re-enable synchronization. Wait for the contacts to re-synchronize, then test.
If you don't use iCloud, or if the contacts fail to synchronize, delete all contacts, then select
File ▹ Import…
and import the archive you created. It may take a few seconds for the contacts to be indexed. Test.
If you don't like the results of this procedure, quit the application. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, copy the text on the line below into the box that opens, and press return:
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
Restore the folder that opens from the backup you made before you started.

Transfer G4 Address Book to new Imac

Hi! Please tell me where my address book is located on my G4. I will transfer it using firewire to my Imac but not sure where it is. Once found do I just copy it to the new Imac location? Thanks, Mike

If you are seriously on 10.2 on the old machine and 10.4 on the new, I don't think you can do it directly . If you are on 10.4.x, you need to copy ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook from the old to the new Mac. If the old machine is 10.2 open Address Book, select all the contacts and File/Export as a vCard. The exported file can becopied to and imported on the new machine.

Restoring Address Book on new computer from time machine backup of old comp

Hi,
Just bought a new computer and figured that e-thing I need is in the time machine backup. I am having trouble though finding my Address Book data. If someone knows how to do this, I would appreciate it very much,
Thanks,

Hey mate... well I never use migration assistant cos i always like to have a totally new system on the new computers without the quirks of the last one.
Can you use migration assistant once you JUST to get hold of the Address Book or do you also need to import a whole bunch of other stuff... I just don't know cos I have never used it.
Thanks heaps,

Can not Create Address Book for new Supplier

Hi,
I am trying to create a supplier in R12. Under create Address Book for the supplier, I have created the address and when I select the operating unit and click apply, I am getting the following error:
Address and Site Creation - Unable to create address and sites because of the following error when trying to create the site in operating unit [Anirudh Operations]: [ORA-01403: no data found in Package AP_VENDOR_PUB_PKG Procedure Validate_Vendor_Site]. Either resolve this issue and try again or deselect the operating unit with the error and continue. Note: any new address requires at least one site in order to be created.
Oracle Version: 12.0.4 - Vision Database.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Sasibindu.

Looks like the responsibility you are using is pointing to a new operating unit created by some one. But for that operating unit all the fundamental options are not complete (financial, purchasing, payables and so on). Hence you are getting this error.
If they are setup, you can try adding this operating unit into your security group associated to the MO: Security group profile and try.
If not use the Vision Operations responsibility and give it a try.
Thanks

How to transfer Address Book to new computer?

There is a knowledge base article on how to transfer the catalog to a new computer, but the procedure does not transfer the address Book.
Can somebody tell me where is the contacts file located and how to transfer it?
Thanks

Assuming youre using PSE 6 on both computers, you can copy the file contacts.xml from the old to the new computer. See this tech note for the location:

Address Book link

A couple days ago, out of nowhere (unless someone who previously used the computer) a link to my address book appeared in my bookmark shortcuts (the bookmarks you see under the URL box)
I cant move it, delete it, right click it, it isnt in my bookmark organizer, and there are no links to my address' in it, I click it, and it says "No home pages in address book" and "Open address book" -so its completely useless.
how do you get rid of this option? I cant figure it out.

That's for the AutoFill information Hawaiian_Starman
I think the poster is after the bookmark weblinks toggle. That's under Safari Preferences -> Bookmarks -> Bookmarks Bar: Include Address Book (and similarly for the Bookmarks Menu if the option appears there too for you).

From old "Address Book" to new "Contacts" - lost my groups

I have old 2009 laptop (Snow Leopard) and just bought new 2015 13" macbook pro running Yosemite 10.10.2
I transferred my Address book over to Contacts but lost my groups.
Instead it is showing my Yahoo mail folders on the left hand column.
I use the groups a lot for work and really hope I don't have to recreate all of them.
Thanks!

My mistake - my groups are there! They transferred perfectly. Still getting used to my wonderful new machine. Sorry to bother you!
