Address Book possible to modify views in column

Is it possible to modify the view preference in order to allow the Prefix (a title like Dr) to come after the name, so it shows as Brown, David, Dr?
That would allow me to sort by last names and see it in an alphabetical list form which I would like.
I currently am using Now Contact and like its flexibility, but would prefer to switch over to Apple Address Book

That is not possible, but if you do not use the suffix as a field, maybe you could add that field - which would show after the name - and use it as the prefix field?
hope this helps

To separate address books possible on E61?

Hi,
would it be possible - using built-in functionality or a 3rd party application - to maintain two separate address books? I would like to have my company´s contacts in my phone, without mixing them all into my private contact list so things don´t get confused.
Thank you very much!

Not sure about any dedicated 3rd party applications but if you install Windows Live Messenger here http://www.symbianv3.com/new-windows-live-messenger-perfect
You do get a second section to your phone book that allows a separate phonebook, what will make it even better is that if you have a msn/hotmail account these contacts will synchronise with their server thus creating a back-up for you should you lose your phone

More than one ADDRESS BOOK possible on one computer?

I would like to have a BUSINESS and a PERSONAL address book on one computer. Is this possible? I would then open one "address book file" for all my business contacts; another for personal ones.
OR IF NOT POSSIBLE-- or maybe less confusing-- a way to sort business from personal?
Thanks for any comments.

Create a couple of Smart Groups. Make one business
and one personal. Make sure you pick a parameter
that you know you will put in all of your business
contacts.
I believe "Smart Groups" must be only available in Tiger-- I am running Panther but will be moving to Tiger later this month. I did create several GROUPS, but not certain about the definition of a "Smart Group". Thanks for any comments,

Pages and Address Book Possibility?

Hi There,
I am trying to find an efficient workflow for a volunteer project I coordinate. Every month, people sign up for various jobs serving the homeless, and one of my responsibilities is to email each volunteer every week to provide information and support. I have created a template for the sign-up sheet using the tables function in Pages, and I have typed in the names of all of the volunteers for each job. What I would like to do is to create a link of some sort so that I can click a person's name in the sign-up sheet and be taken immediately to his or her contact information in Address Book. From there, I can check my notes and then email that person. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance!

Matt
I think you may be tackling this the wrong way. Pages will merge information from Address Book into documents, but not link back the other way.
You could merge the Address Book information into a series of pages (each with one contact) in Pages, where you could keep your notes and click on email hyperlinks to call up Mail.
If you want something else, look for a PIM (Personal Information Manager) or use a Bento database.

Exchange - iPod Touch/iPhone - MobileMe- iCal/Address Book possible?

Not sure how to ask this other than to create a subject showing the flow I want.
I have an iPod Touch. I can connect to Exchange 2003 server and get my contacts and calendar from that into my iPod touch. HOWEVER, I want to get that data over into MobileMe (and from there into iCal and AddressBook).
This doesn't appear to be possible? Am I right? If not, why not?

Well, the way I do it on our Exchange network is:
1. Use Entourage on my MacBook and setup the email / calendars with my exchange account.
2. On the MacBook, in iCal, make a calendar called "Entourage" -- this will sync up the calendar from Entourage to iCal once you turn on the "iCal and .mac" sync option in Entourage.
3. Then when I sync my iPhone with the MacBook, that calendar (and my others) are sync'd to the phone.
I don't use MobileMe so I can't verify if this will sync that as well.

One of my 2 address books can no longer be viewed, how do I access it?

''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1051908 /questions/1051908]''
one of my 2 address books can no longer be viewed, how do I access it? It disappeared within the last few days. I can still find addresses that are in the 2nd address book, but I cannot view it, so only 1/8 of my addresses are now viewable. How do I access the 2nd address book?

Hi ronc2, there isn't a specific setting for this. Firefox's built-in JavaScript settings allow you to control several aspects of scripts*, but unfortunately not this one.
I previously tried to find some other options for individually turning off this event, but I couldn't find a way. Someone might be able to create an add-on to solve this problem, but it will take someone cleverer than I.
Extensions that disable scripts on a site-specific basis:
* If you regularly visit some sites which do this, you can block JavaScript on that specific site using the YesScript extension. Unfortunately, other script-based functionality will be blocked as well.
* YesScript does not preemptively block scripts on every site. If you have to visit a lot of random sites and want to take a paranoid approach of having scripting blocked until you see as much of the site as you can see without running scripts, then the NoScript extension would be for you. But even then it's "all or nothing".
''* These include: JavaScript enabled yes/no, override right-click menu yes/no, change order of windows yes/no, move and resize windows yes/no, close windows yes/no, specific features of pop-up windows, change images yes/no, detect copy/cut/paste and modify selection yes/no.''

Address book directories view not acessible

Hi
I'm having a problem with address book. In the 'view' pane, I can only access two of the three possibillities: "Card" and "columns". "Directories" is in grey and I cannot click on it. I want to see the directories view, so I can see a list of addresses or telephonenumber, ordered by name.
what am I doing wrong?

"Directories" is for use with a network shared directory service system such as Microsoft Exchange or LDAP. Are you on such a system? If not, and your Address Book is only standalone and local to your computer, that view will not be valid for you.

Filtering Address Book Contacts

Moved all my contacts from Now Up-To-Date for the iPhone and now it is time to print and send Christmas Cards.
Address Book is AWFUL
You cannot sort by state, you cannot filter and select by family/last name and much more.
I cannot believe that Address Book does not allow us to search and filter by state, last name.
Also there is no way to search/sort by those that we want to send a Christmas Card to.
Now Up-To-Date was perfect doing this in the past.

Mike Richards1 wrote:
I need to sort by date modified. Can't. I can make a smart folder to show me contacts after a certain date, but no sorting. How about a big list view? Not there either. I could go on.
Looks like Address Book is for the home users.
Although I agree that Address Book should handle these things itself, here is a possible workaround.
FileMaker Bento 2 ($50 for a single license) provides a two-way synchronization with Address Book, so you can view and edit data in either Address Book or Bento and it immediately shows up in the other. Bento has a table view for which you can control which fields display, filter or sort by specific fields (including Last Name, State, Date Created, Date Modified or custom fields you have added), and much more. You can even export a flattened version of Address Book data to a text file or spreadsheet, or import it directly into FileMaker Pro 10.
I have found it to be much easier to do mass edits on my Address Book data using the table view within Bento. This was a pleasant surprise, since I bought it for its ability to export Address Book data for use elsewhere (another thing Address Book should handle itself).

How do I tell what GROUP an address book CARD is located in?

Any help would be appreciated:
When I look at my address book I use the 'CARD AND COLUMNS' view; I usually have it preselected to 'all groups' and do searches there; my question is this; is there an easy way to display what group a selected card is attached to? I can't seem to find an elegant way to do this...
Thanks. Ger

Thanks for the INFO!!

Blurred address book scrolling

This topic was previously addressed nearly a year ago and left unresolved when it closed. I just discovered a trick that seems to work to clear it up. Open Address Book and go to VIEWS in the menu bar; switch the view to DIRECTORY or CARDS and then go back and switch it to CARDS & COLUMNS. Voilà! For me, it stopped the blurred scrolling. I tested this with different font sizes and so far all is good. This should be a HUGE relief to everyone who has (like me!) been frustrated with this very annoying problem that made the Address Book nearly useless...

As everyone else is saying, I am also finding the same things, menu is sluggish & freezes for no reason since the upgrade to 2.0.
I have also had Video playback (only had this on films after 1 hour of playback) stops and then a black screen with a white apple logo in the center of the screen appears. Sometimes the box recovers back to the menu, other times I have to power if off and back on..
I have the 40Gb device, and this experience is such a shame as I actually liked the 1.1 software as I had no issues, it just did what I wanted. The new features in 2.0 are nice, but it is more important that it works for what I bought the device for, to deliver Video from my Mac.
As I am in the UK I do not care about the Video rental service that is in 2.0. I just want the basic feature to be stable.

Help with restoring Address Book from Time Machine

Problem: I really, really need to retrieve someone's number. I know it'll be in an old version of my Address Book. I can see when I open time Machine that my address book is backed up, but no matter the date I go to, it says the Address Book was last modified in 2012! I know for a fact I've updated (and backed up) the Address Book many times since then.
Whenever I try to restore the Address Book, I do Time Machine > Applications > Address Book > 'restore'. But whenever I do this, the mac refuses to open the restored Address Book because it's 'required by mac OS X'.
I don't understand.
Please, how on earth do I dredge my Address Book from the depths of Time Machine?
Please help!

Hello mb9236,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with restoring a contact from Time Machine.
It sounds like you are trying to restore the Address Book application. The Address Book application is just the application and does not include the content in Address Book.
Instead, you will want to open Address Book and then launch Time Machine and restore your contacts from there. Use the steps below to restore your contacts form a previous date (in step one instead of opening Mail or Finder, be sure you have Address Book open and in focus):
If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can easily bring back one or more items you’ve lost, or recover older versions of files you’ve changed.
Open a window for the item you want to restore. For example, if you accidentally deleted a file from your Documents folder, open the Documents folder. If you want to recover an email message, open your inbox in Mail.
If you’re missing an item from the desktop, you don’t need to open a window.
Click the Time Machine icon in the Dock, or open the Time Machine menu in the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine. If you back up to a Time Capsule or other network disk, a message briefly appears while Time Machine connects your computer to the backup disk.
Use the arrows or the timeline along the right side of your screen to browse through all the snapshots and backups Time Machine created. Gray tick marks on the timeline represent snapshots stored on your internal drive (portable computers only). Pink tick marks represent backups stored on your backup disk.
If you need more information about an item, double-click to preview it. The windows in Time Machine behave just like Finder windows, so you can open folders, click items in the sidebar, and use the search field in the upper-right corner of the window.
When you find the item you want to restore, select it, and then click Restore. You can restore individual items, multiple items, folders, or your entire hard disk. The restored item is returned to its original location. For example, if the item was found in the Documents folder, it is returned to the Documents folder. Time Machine may ask if you want to re-create one or more folders in order to return a restored item to its original location.
If an item you restore has the same name as another item on your computer, you’re asked if you want to keep the current item, the restored item, or both.
You can use Time Machine from within many applications. For example, you can open Address Book and then click the Time Machine icon in the Dock to recover contacts you may have accidentally deleted, or open iPhoto and then click the Time Machine icon in the Dock to view past versions of your iPhoto albums.

OA Framework pages personalization - how to modify View Instance

OA Framework pages personalization - how to modify View Instance
Hi
I need to add additional field to a page.
I found View Instance but there is no attribute I need.
Is it possible to modify View Instance from application level
because not using JDeveloper?
Thank you,
malin

Hi Malin,
If your VO does not include the column you are looking for, then the only way to achieve is thru VO substitution for which u will have to use jdeveloper.
You cannot achieve this by personalization.
Thanks,

Importing data from Apple's Address Book

Is there a way to import Address Book data into Numbers?
Page 99 of the Getting Started booklet seems to indicate the possibility.

2 ways I know of. First is to drag a contact group (or a selection of contacts) onto a blank Numbers page. This will create a table on the page for you with 4 colomns (Last Name, First Name, Phone, and Email), with all the data already filled in from the contacts that you dragged. Secondly (and more elegantly IMHO), create a table first in Numbers and give it a header row. Give each cell in the header row a name reflective of the Address Book data you want in that column (ex. Last Name, First Name, Home Address, Home Phone, Work Phone, Mobile Phone, etc.). Drag the table as large as you need in order to accomodate as many data fields as you want. When you have all the columns named in the header row, drag a contact group or selection of contacts from Address Book into this newly-created table, and all the info will auto-fill. Each time you drop contacts or lists of contacts onto this table, it will add the dropped contacts to those already in the table.

How do I replace address book on iMac with iPad/iPhone contact info?

I've been using my iPad and iPhone to record contact information, and they sync with each other via iCloud. I realize now I should have recording this on the iMac and then syncing with the other devices.
But at this point, I'd like to replace all address book information on my iMac with the iPad/iPhone contact information. What's the best way to do this? I'm concerned that, while trying to sync either device with the iMac, I might somehow do the opposite - replace contact info on the device with address book info from the iMac.
I appreciate any suggestions.

Start by backing up the contacts on your Mac by opening Address Book (Contacts) and going to File>Export>Contacts Archive, save this on your desktop. Then download the app My Contacts Backup to your iPhone and use it to back up your contacts as a vCard attachment to an email. Send this email to yourself. (Note: if you have >500 contacts you'll need to either purchase and use the Pro version, or follow the instructions listed under "Contacts...iCloud.com Contacts" in this guide to dowload them from icloud.com: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4910.)
I'm assuming at this point that you are NOT syncing contacts on your Mac with iCloud. If you are, do not perform the steps in this paragraph. Assuming you are not syncing your Mac contacts with iCloud, open Address Book (Contacts), go to View>Groups, then click on All Contacts. Click on a single contact, then go to Edit>Select All (Command-A) to select all contacts. Now press your delete key to delete them. Your Mac Address Book (Contacts) should now be empty. Now open the My Contacts Backup email on your Mac and double-click the attachment to import the contacts from your iPhone to your Mac Address Book (Contacts).

Can I combine e-mail page and address book?

I'm sure I will eventually be convinced that Mac is easier to use than a PC. With my PC my e-mail was Microsoft Outlook. My address book was listed on the lefthand column of the page along with "inbox', "sent" etc. All I had to do was click on it to bring it up and then click on the appropriate address which was automatically filled in on my outgoing e-mail page. Now, I have to open 'mail' and also 'address book' separately. Then nothing happens when I click on an address so I have to start typing it in and only then will it automatically finish filling in. Is there an easier way on Mac or is there a way I can get Outlook as my mail account on my iMac. I know most of you are young and were born holding a computer in your lap but I came to them later in life and, although very knowledgeable about many things, computers are way down on the list so I am very grateful for your help and patience with a grandmother.

As long as you have the contact's email address in your address book, all you have to do is start typing the person's name in the "to" box, and it will finish it for you. If you have more than one person named "Steve" for example, if you start typing the name, and you know you have more than one person of the same name, wait a second or two, and a box will open with all of the people of that same name, You can then scroll down using the arrow key and select the person you want.
Or if you know the first couple of letters of that person's address, you can type those in, and the person's email address will finish. That's a little bit easier if you have multiple names.
Hope this helps...
