Address Book Salutation question

I have to use salutations a lot in my business,e.g., Mr., Ms., etc. so I have been using the prefix field in the address book. That way I can print labels correctly. However, When I look at a group, it shows Mr. Joe Apple, Ms. Josephine Apple, Mrs. Josephine Appleton, etc. And I would really like to just see Joe Apple, Josephine Apple, Josephine Appleton - When there are a lot of names the salutation gets in the way of finding people at a glance. Is there a way to keep the prefix field and not show it in the group listing?
Thanks for the help

Pandaboots,
I have been looking at that since Leopard came out....
I put in a comma after the city on all my addresses in the address book...
Ok... that works when you print...
Now, here is another problem with that comma and Apple...
When you plug in an iPod which is synced to the address book, the iPod now has 2 commas....
So, the iPod knows there should be a comma there but the address book does NOT...
Either Apple needs to remove the comma from the iPod syncing or add a comma to the Address Book to be consistent with each other...
I have removed all my commas from my address book now so I don't have double commas on my iPod....
Go Figure.......

  • ICloud to Mac Address Book - Two Questions

    Okay, I have learned/accepted that iCloud is not the sync'ing deal that MobileMe was (missed that in the fine print as I have been a loyal .mac user from its inception and like the MM syncing). I understand that everything is updated in the cloud and pushed to various devices (for me, iPhone 4S, new iPad and 2009 MBP).  So, how is it possible for my iCloud address book to have more contacts than my MBP address book?  Wouldn't all of the ones in iCloud be pushed to the MBP?  The only thing I can think is that before I understood the concept that there are two address books resident on the MBP, I starting deleting what I thought were duplicates since I wasn't able to merge them due to two different sources.  I could not find a way at that time to tell me which line was from what source.  Then, once I get the two address books matching - mostly to ensure that I am not missing anything in the iCloud one - what purpose does the Mac based address book serve?  I just had a nightmare of dragging various cards from my iCloud address page on the right into the iCloud group on the left and only to realize after doing at least 20 cards that after the first one, the left page registers back up putting the Mac based group across from the iCloud contact list so I dropped many of them into the Mac group instead of the iCloud group. The iCal doesn't maintain a Mac version and an iCloud version, why does the address book?  BTW, all software on all devices is up to date as of this posting.

    Please pardon what may be a silly question.  This is my first ever post...
    I was thinking about deleting "On My Mac" address book per your above instructions, and sticking with the one iCloud contacts.  The problem I am afraid of running into is this:  In iTunes, when I sync contacts, the groups that show available for syncing all come from "On My Mac".  If I delete from the Mac, will that make my "Contacts" icon on my iPad 'dead'?  Thereby, forcing me to log onto iCloud to view my Contacts, instead of a handy shortcut??? 
    Or will I simply get to forgo the iTunes syncing... and the "contacts" icon on my iPad will reflect what was synced thru iCloud?
    If the latter is true, does that simply mean I will need to recreate my "groups" in iCloud?
    Thanks in advance, I certainly need some guidance.

  • Address Book contacts question

    Hi- just wondering if someone can help on this topic before I launch into the unknown!!:
    If I add an Exchange 2007 account into my Apple Address Book, will those email addresses be available when I go to send an email in Apple Mail?
    and so am I right to assume that Mail looks for addresses from:
    1/ my "local" Mac Address Book entries
    2/ my new Exchange contacts
    3/ my Previous Recipients list in Mail
    Lastly, when I choose "add to Address Book" in Mail, where will this contact go- to my "local" address Book on into the Exchange account?
    Thanks for any tips!

    Does your question have anything remotely to do with iWeb 09? This is an iWeb 09 forum - did you not look where you were posting?
    No - so it is not relevant to this forum. Please post in somewhere that is more relevant, such as the iPhone forum or the iPad forum.

  • 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.

  • Upgraded MacBook Pro 5,1 to Lion - Address Book/RAM Question - PLEASE HELP!

    So, I upgraded to Lion. Flawless.
    Except, when I was trying to set up iCloud, I had Address Book open and decided to select the "Look for Duplicates" function to try to clear some of the double entries in my Address Book.
    The process took over an hour.
    I had Fusion running.
    After an hour, I got an error message that said I have run out of disk space. It prompted me to force quit some applications.
    I have 4 GB of RAM and 400 GB free on a 750 GB Hard Drive.
    What caused this? Is it serious? Any advice?
    I am trying to run it again, but it is taking forever.
    Please help!

    I finally solved the problem by myself.
    For anyone reading this thread and having similar issues, I quickly describe how I did it:
    Basically, I changed totally nothing on either Soft- or Hardware side.
    But what I did was disassemble my MBP, remove one of those 2 memory chips, un- and replugged the SSD, turned the system on with just one memory chip, let it run for a while (did some stress tests on the SSD that ususally lead to massive problems) and everything worked smooth.
    At first I thought the one memory I removed was bad, but to my surprise the system continued to work stable after I put it in again.
    Since 6 days my MBP runs smooth without any troubles like spinning wheels or whatsoever.
    I've read many threads from other people having similiar issues with this configuration, coming up with a lot of ideas and workarounds.
    Although this seems to be weird, I hope that it helps some of you facing the same weird behaviour.

  • Address book sync question using Mobile Me

    I sync my address book using Mobile Me.
    However, I have several different groups in my book, and only want to sync one group.
    I can't figure out how to do that. Right now it is syncing all my contacts.
    Any suggestions!?

    Sounds like a desktop configuration issue you should investigate if you can have more than one contact listing for each user logon and whether you can make one of them the default.

  • Address book sync question

    I've cleaned up my contact list several times and whenever I sync I get triple listings of every contact.  Where are they coming from?  I sync with Yahoo and have completely emptied my yahoo contact list before they sync. Are they on the sim card?

    I know that some of my data has the parenthesese around the area code, some does not. Those that do, it is synced from Outlook, because I don't take the time to enter the parenthesese on my BB.
    That data should sync over to your BB.

  • Adding an Address Book card from a shared address book to a Group

    I have an Address Book Sharing Question/Problem. With the .Mac Family Pack, I have multiple .Mac Accounts. I have set up Address Book to share addresses from the individual .Mac accounts and set each to be able to edit the shared addresses. Initially, I was hoping that these would appear in each users Address Book and sync all changes, instead of just appearing as a shared Address Book below the users Address Book. But that does not appear to be the case.
    However, my question/problem is that I want to be able to add a card from a shared Address Book (for example from my wife’s Address Book) into a current group in my Address Book (say a family member group). I can drag the card in, but the information is apparently copied as a new card into my Address Book and changes I make are no longer synced with the shared Address Book (my Wife’s Address Book). Is this working correctly? (I know .Mac has been acting up in the last few weeks) If so, there does not appear to be much value in say sharing family, doctor, and friends info from my wife’s address book, as I can not create my own groups or if I do, our contact info is no longer synced. The new cards I copy in are also not visible to the shared Address Book, so we will also have no way of seeing that a card has been changed. Is there anyway to truly share a card or group of contacts between users of separate .Mac accounts so that the contacts can be separated into different groups for each user and card info / changes will remain synced? If this is already supposed to be occurring, any ideas as to a fix?
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Also, if I drag an entire group from a shared Address Book to my Address Book, it is copied in a blue color, making me think "Cool! It is different from a group that I create (which are white), so it must be shared!" But it is not. Changes to cards in this "copied" group are not synced to the original shared Address Book. So, what does the blue color mean?

  • Mail & Address Book - Do I have to use AB?

    I currently use Thunderbird for my email client. At present it does not work with Snow Leopard. In looking at Mail, it appears that it uses the Address Book app for its address book. Questions:
    1 - My Thunderbird address book is quite large and contains ONLY email addresses. I don't use it for phone numbers, etc. Can I import it into Mail.
    2 - I use Address Book for addresses and phone numbers, NOT email. Do I need to "link" Address Book into Mail or can I unlink it?
    This may seem atypical but I prefer to not have email and addresses/phone numbers integrated.
    Thanks

    Can you export your Thunderbird address book as a vcf card? That is, select all cards, and drag them all to the desktop, or export to the desktop, as a single "mega-VCF" card? If so, then double clicking on that single vcf file should import all into the Address Book application. Fields that do not have data entries in Thunderbird will be left blank in the Apple Address Book.
    You may run into an issue with duplicate cards of the same proper name if you are using proper name on the cards. But if, for example, you use proper names on the address/phone set, and email addresses only (no proper names), you should be able to avoid that problem. You could then create groups within Address Book to make a distinction between them. Maybe, once each card was associated with a group, you could maintain proper name on both, since they should be distinguished by group affiliation. But I am not sure on that; that is something that you would have to experiment with.

  • Simple question; Mac Server Setup for Mail, iCal and Address Book Services.

    Hi Guys;
    I'm new to the Mac Server world and need a few questions answered.
    I have purchased a new Mac mini Server for hosting File, Web, Mail, iCal and Address Book Services.
    I’m comfortable setting up File and Web Services however I’m a bit uneasy setting up Mail, iCal and Address Book services to be access locally and remotely(via the internet).
    My current setup is;
    Internet connection (Dynamic IP) -> Router -> Mac mini Server.
    I have purchased a domain name (Thornton-net.com) from DynDns.com + a custom DNS service as I can setup my router to update my domain’s IP address automatically.
    I can access File and Web Services remotely (thortnon-net.com) perfectly without any issues via the Port Forwarding feature of the Router.
    If I setup Mail, iCal and Address Book Services -> will Mail, iCal and Address Book clients be able to access these services hosted by the server via Thornton-net.com?
    Message was edited by: Allan.Thornton

    Welcome to the forums.
    For mail services (and specifically for your outbound mail to be accepted by other mail servers) your mail server needs to have a static IP address and matching forward and reverse and MX records, or a tunnel to a static IP (with matching DNS), or you need another mail server where you have an authorized relay. Without that, your mail will be considered a spam engine, and dropped.
    Additionally, your particular tier of service with your ISP (with a static IP) will generally allow server-oriented access and server-oriented network traffic, where a residential or other tier of service (with a dynamic IP addresses) can be firewalled.
    The ISP controls the "high ground" of the network connections here, so you pretty much get to play by their rules and requirements. If they don't offer static IP, then (presuming their T&Cs permit it) you get to tunnel (via IPv6, for instance) to a tunnel broker, and receive your network traffic via that (and with matching DNS) point of presence. That could well be a tunnel for your mail at whichever your DNS provider is here, because you'll have issues with your dynamic address. (You get to sort out if they offer that.)
    Far and away the easiest approach (if you want to host this stuff yourself) is to work with the ISP. They're inherently involved in your network, and they and they alone have full control over your reverse DNS configuration.

  • My Address Book application is GONE - question mark on it on taskbar

    Hi. I'm a relatively new Mac user. My Address Book app is gone completely from my Applications folder and it has a question mark on it when I click on the icon in the taskbar. All of my contacts appear to be intact in Mail - they show up when I type addresses in emails, and I can still see the photos I assigned to contacts when these contacts send me email. But the app itself is gone from the Applications folder and I can't seem to find it no matter where I search. I've searched for Address Book under every user profile on this machine.
    I should note that I have 4-year-old daughter who uses this mac on occasion and who seems to have a special gift for the sorts of mouse-clicks and command-typing that evaporate or otherwise misfile important applications.
    How do I reinstall just Address Book? It seems to be the only App missing. The Leopard disk seemed to be suggesting that a complete reinstall would be necessary which seems a bit much for just the one app.

    You can use a program called "Pacifist" to install individual applications from the Leopard DVD (Available here: http://www.charlessoft.com/)
