Address book report in table format

I would like to print an address book for my planner in a table format. I can not get address book to print the information I want in a table (2 columns with several rows, dependent upon the paper size - 1/2 sheet). I have created a data base, and tried the reports, but I get one card per page instead of in a table format of several cards per page. More specifically, what I want is name, address, and general info in one columnn, and phone numbers in the other column, with several individuals on one page.
imac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi bmj,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
If your Address Book is an AppleWorks database, you've come to the right place, as this forum is for discussion of tips, techniques and issues with Apple's productivity application AppleWorks.
But if you are asking how produce this list using the Address Book application bundled with current iMacs and other current Macs, that's outside the scope of this forum.
I'm working on the assumption that you're using Appleworks.
[W]hat I want is name, address, and general info in one column, and phone numbers in the other column, with several individuals on one page.
The kicker here is going to be "General information." While each of the other pieces of information will take more or less the same amount of space in each record, the amount of "General information" will vary widely.
While AppleWorks DB screen layouts can handle this by expanding a field to show its contents when the insertion point is placed in the field, layouts for printing do not have this flexibility the amount of space you allocate for a field is fixed when you create (or edit) the layout, and every record gets the same amount of space, whether the data leaves a large white space or fills the space (with some data hidden because it's too large).
Given that restriction, you can set your layout up as either a Columnar report or as a Labels Layout. My preference would be the latter.
Before doing either, I'd suggest creating two new Calculation type fields: 'Fullname' and 'CSZ'
'Fullname' joins the contents of the 'First name' and 'Last name' fields with a space between them using this formula:
'First name'&" "&'Last name'
'CSZ' joins the contents of the fields 'City', 'State', and 'Zip' into a single line. Following USPS (and for my case, Canada Post) guidelines, it also converts all letters in this line to capitals, and puts two spaces to left and right of the two letter State (or Province) postal symbol. Data in the field 'State' must be the two letter symbol, not the full state name. Formula:
UPPER('City'&" "&'State'&" "&'Zip')
These two formulas help clean up the layout of your list, and are also useful if you later decide to make mailing labels.
To create the printed address book using a labels layout, open your DB file, then go to Layout mode (go Layout > Layout).
Go Layout > New Layout (Note: NOT New Labels Layout)
Click the Labels radio button, leave the popup menu set to Custom, Click OK.
In the Labels Layout dialogue, set Labels across the page to 1 and width to the full width of the page (minus margins). These two items are not adjustable once set.
Increase the label height to 4 to give yourself some room to work in. (The height of each row of labels (ie. each 'card') can be adjusted at will.) Click OK.
In the next dialogue double click each of the following field names (in this order) to move the fields from the left column to the right column.
'Fullname'
'Address'
'CSZ'
'General information'
'Phone'
Click OK.
Your new layout will be created with the fields inserted onto it in a single column. Select the top four fields and resize them (width only) using the handles.
Select and resize the Phone field, then drag it to its new position in the second column.
Select and resize the General field to contain as much data as you expect to place there.
Drag the Body boundary up to a position just below the General field. The position of this boundary controls the height of each card/label and the amount of space between it and the next one down the page.
When the layout looks right, go Layout > Browse to view the results.
You can adjust the number of cards that appear on a page by adjusting the Body boundary to make each card take more or less vertical space. You may need to also adjust the size of the fields, particularly the 'General' field and the size of type used.
Regards,
Barry

Address Book Reports

I am trying to create a document from a group of addresses (currently about 100) in Address Book that would be sorted by city, then Last Name. I found a program that will generate a report at version tracker, but it isn't sorted the way I need it and I can't manipulate the data.
I was originally planning to export to Excel but can't seem to do that. If any one has any suggestions for getting this data into excel or a format that I can work with I'd appreciate it. I'm willing to purchase a program but don't want to spend a lot?
Does anyone know if the address book info can be manipulated in any of the iWork apps?

Try Address Book Exporter.

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?

Mike,
you might wish to give AB Transfer a try:

Address Book Print list view column format

Is there a way of changing the column width of the List View when printing the contacts in Address Book? I select all contacts, check the boxes for address and notes and send so PDF in Preview. The left hand column (Names) takes nearly half the page width. The center column with all the addresses, e-mails and notes is very narrow, which causes the text to wrap in the middle of the address or e-mail.
If it can't be changed, does anyone know of an application that will use the address book data and allow me to format pages to my specification?

Thank you KT. I downloaded the utility and was able to create a tab delimited file from Address Book. I also imported the data into Numbers but I could not produce a report format I wanted. I was afraid I was forced to copy the data into Windows and use one of the many address book formatters.
I kept searching the web and read about Palm Desktop for Mac but that did not include the Notes field. Last night, I believe I found a reasonable solution, it is called "Address Book Reports" by Scruffy Software. There are choices of format and page size. I will try it out today and if it's OK will send the $15 shareware fee.

Format of files for calendar, tasks and address book to export/sync

My idea is to sync the files that are used by TB/Lightning, to manage my calendar, tasks and the address book.
My question is, in which files calendar, tasks, address book are saved and which format do these have?
Do I NEED to export each of them, before managing them with another software? (Icedove and possibly Android)

When you export your calendar, it is in an .ics file, both events and tasks. The ics file is a text file which can be edited. RFC-5545 defines the format.
When you export your address book, there are two formats: CSV is comma separated variables, and can be input to a spreadsheet. LDIF is also a text file and is better for importing into another computer.
As far as syncing, I'm not sure what you have in mind, but Google is one way to share that data between devices.

Query on report display in table format on 7970G

Hi,
I know how to use the xml objects to display data on Cisco IP Phone using Ip Phone services. Now I want to generate report in table format on the phone.But in the xml objects available there is no option display data in table format .
Should I have to use BTXML for that ?
or do I have to diaplay it as an image ?
I want to keep the first row as heading and the rest of rows I should scroll and view.
Please let me know how to do that .Please also provide any sample documents or links.
Thanks,
Peter

I've never really seen btxml in the wild.. it may be used in environments where people use Cisco phones but connected to SIP proxies, and not callmanagers. I don't think this is the place to discuss btxml.. I've never seen a single mention.. you might find people in Asterisk or similar forums though.
Now, your screenshot shows a CiscoIPPhoneImage.. behind it is a simple PNG image, at a resolution of 298x168 and at 24bits (the shot looks like from an IP Communicator). Depending on the phone type, the resolution varies (IP Communicator and 797x phones have the same resolution but different bit depths, the 7965/54 have a lower res and 16bit, the 7921 supports a resolution of 176x140 at 16 bit).
It's probably easier for you if you stick to the CiscoIPPhoneImageFile instead of the CiscoIPPhoneImage because PNG is a standard, whereas with CIP you either write your own library, or you create a GIF in your code then use Cisco's code to convert that to a CIP file.
For your reference, here's the latest IP Phone services developer guide: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cuipph/all_models/xsi/6_0/english/programming/guide/XSIbook.html. It contains detailed information about every CiscoIPPhone element, including samples.
Creating a PNG file pro grammatically is a bit out of scope of this forum.. you need to figure that one out on your own but there are tons of other boards on the web that deal with that kind stuff. Once you have the PNG, creating the appropriate CiscoIPPhoneImageFile object will be a piece of cake. Once you have your PNG generation in order and still have trouble getting the object to the phone, it would be appropriate to continue here.

Address Book: Importing vcards with embedded photos

Hi folks,
This question would perhaps be more at home in the Apple Developer Connection Forums, but as I can't access those without a paid ADC account, I thought I'd try here on the off chance someone knows.
In short, I'm writing an application that does clever things with vcards, and it would be great if it could export them to Address Book.
That in itself is simple, but I'd also like to embed a photograph in each vcard. So, I'm successfully encoding the image into a base64 string (tested), and other applications like Entourage will happily open and see the image, but Address Book won't.
After much Google-ing I've learned that apparently Address Book expects very specific formatting (and possibly whitespace) in and around the base64 string, which is all well and good, except no one seems to know what that formatting is!
I've looked in the ADC Reference Library but it doesn't go into enough detail.
So, is there anyone who happens to know how to format a base64 string for Address Book?
EDIT: I am aware that Address Book doesn't require the string to be wrapped, and I have tried not wrapping my base64 string and if I do that then my vcards will successfully import with their photos (Entourage seems happy with unwrapped strings too).
However, this is not an ideal solution as other vcard applications may not be so accepting, and I don't believe vcards can have multiple photo fields.
Message was edited by: JavaScript

Thanks, but right now I can't afford the $500 I'd have to spend in order to buy the sufficient level of ADC membership to use the developer forums. I just thought I'd ask here on the off chance, as I know there are sometimes a few developers lurking around.
Having said that, after reading posts such as this: http://markmail.org/message/5dbslpeyhjcjxug4
I'm beginning to think there are only a handful of people who know the answer, so I may have to give up and use a work-around.

How can I migrate from Outlook 2011 to iCal and Apple Address Book in Mavericks now that synching is no longer possible?

Now that I am on Mavericks and no longer able to sync between my iPhone/iPad and Outlook 2011 on my MacBook Pro, I'm finally taking the leap (which I should have done long ago) and abandoning Outlook 2011 all together (doesn't help that Outlook now prompts me to rebuild by Identity multiple times per day). I am hoping to export from Outlook to iCal, Address Book, etc, but I would love it if someone could check my steps.
Delete iCal and Apple Address Book content -- Because I have old data in iCal and Address Book (that was synched before I upgraded to Mavericks), I planned to delete this data as follows:
Manually deleting my multiple calendars in the iCal app
Go to Go>Home>Library>Calendars and drag "Calendar Cache" to trash
Go to Go>Home>Library>Caches and drag "com.apple.iCal" and "com.apple.AddressBook" to the trash
Go to Go>Home>Library>Application Support and drag "Address Book" to the trash
Export Outlook 2011 Calendars to iCalIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into iCal? I will use this file format to individually export each of my calendars from Outlook 2011 and import them into iCal.
Export Outlook 2011 Contact List to Apple Address BookIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into Apple Address Book?
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi acs4055,
As per your query I found a relevant solution for resolving this, actually I haven’t tried the steps you wrote here in your query. But I found a solid key answer for exporting from Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.1) Outlook 2011 to iCal for Apple mail. This is possible through Drag and Drop method via this you can undoubtedly migrate Outlook 2011 Calendar to ical format.
Hope it will assist you and you will be able to attain a desired solution.

Why is the Address Book app slow to update my contacts?

When I try to import my Google contacts into my Mac Address Book via vCard (.vcf) format, Address Book app takes an eternity to finish updating (like a half hour or more), during which I cannot do anything else in the Address Book.
The last time I tried to do so, yesterday, my entire system became extremely slow and I had to restart the computer. BTW, I use Mac OS X v. 10.7.5 (Lion).
I also notice that searching for contacts within the Address Book is an extremely slow process. I begin to type a name and the program is very sluggish to respond or display anything, forcing me to type very slowly.
What can I do to resolve these issues so I can update and search for my contacts in the Address Book within reasonable amounts of time?

you have a 4G iPod. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

How to import from old address book?

Hi all, I've searched the net about my problem but with no result.
I have an old mac (a G3 iMac running 10.3.9) with a lot of contacts on its Address Book, and I do mean a lot. The computer is completely dead, but I have a copy of the contents of its internal hard disk on a new mac running Lion. My problem is importing the old contacts into the new Address Book. The file formats have changed and the old files can't be imported into the new application, they are not even recognized as addressbook files. Obviously I can't export from the old system since it's not running. The old AddressBook.data file is a terrible junk of names, addresses, telephone numbers and everything else organized in an incomprehensible way (I can't just manually copy the addresses from the file). Does anyone know how to import those contacts into the new format? Otherwise, I'll have to find somebody who owns an old system with an old Address Book application so that I can export the files from there. Thanks a lot

As it's been 3 months, you probably have resolved this by now, but I had a similar problem today and resolved it with help from a tech at the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store.
If you ever backed up your "Library" folder from your old Mac, it contains the "Application Support" folder which in turn contains the "Address Book" folder.
On your new iMac, running Lion:
1)open Finder
2)select "Go" on the menu
3)with the "Go" window open, press and hold down the "Option" key on your keybord. Doing this will expose the hidden "Library" folder.
4) in the Library folder you will find "Application Support"
5) in the "Application Support" folder, you will find the "Address Book" folder
6) assuming you have the old "Address Book" folder from within the backed-up "Library Folder" from you old iMac, delete the "Address Book" folder on your new iMac and copy your old backed-up Address Book folder to the "Application Support" folder in its place.
7) Open the Address Book application and you should see your contact records.
I just finished doing this and it worked for me.
Cheers

Address Book Won't Exit If...

I opened up Address Book and found two cards for my account. In the process of consolidating them, I opened up one in a separate window to edit the picture. Then
back in the main window, I deleted that card. The window for that card remained open. Then I tried to exit Address Book and it simply won't exit and the window no longer responds to any input. Bug?

That sounds like a bug, although I can't make it happen. If you can do that again, open /Applications/Utilities/Console.app and see if Address Book reported any error messages.

How to export from Address Book to Microsoft Outlook

I am using a mail merge program that requires cvs or test files of address cards in order to operated. I can't figure out how to export from Address Book in any other format than Vcard. Does anybody know how to either export in text or covert Vcard files to text or CVS?

Try Address Book Exporter.
