Addresses in Address Book don't fully appear in Pages 09

I am using Mac OS X (10.7.3) and Pages 09.
My addressbook is synchronised with our corporate Exchange Server. When I use these addresses for a mail merge then only name and company appear. All other fields like street, ZIP, city, country don't appear.
When I try it with local addresses (All on my Mac) then it works. It just doesn't work with addresses that are stored on the Exchange server.

I am talking about the function as described in http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Pages09_UserGuide.pdf Chapter 11 from page 246 to 252.
In my address book under Settings - Accounts I have two accounts. One is the Exchange Server and one is Local.
The addresses stored on the Exchange server appear complete and sound in Addressbook and exactly like the ones stored local. So from this side everything is fine.
But when I want to merge addresses from Addressbook in a Pages document then the Name, Company, Title appears correct, but Street (Work), ZIP (Work), City (Work) doesn't appear if it is an address that is stored on the Exchange account. If the address is stored on the Local account then it comes complete. In Addressbook both addresses come complete and don't show any difference.
So it isn't quite true that Addressbook is not designed to import data stored in another application, because part of the address is coming.
The Exchange account on Addressbook works exactly the same than the Local account. I can add data to the Exchange account and I can export data from it.

  • Some Email addresses in Address Book don't appear when typing into Mail

    Every now and then I start to type a name in the To: field in Mail when I know that name and address is in Address Book. The spelling is right and the sytax is right but there is no way that mail will recognize its existence. What can I do about this?

  • HT2486 want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible

    want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible (see attached image). for some reason, all new contacts added through Mountain Lion appear as fullscreen caller ID images.

    This would be better addressed in the iPhone forum, I would post there as well.

  • Defining a default recipient email address in Address Book

    As far as I can tell, there is not an explicit way to define one email address as a default, if more than one are associated with a contact in the Address Book.
    Some things I have tried or considered include:
    (a) using Edit>Edit Distribution List, selecting All, and selecting defaults (doesn't work),
    (b) creating hundred of separate groups for each of the hundreds of contacts with multiple email addresses in my Address Book, and using Edit>Edit Distribution List to select the default email to use for each group (lots of work, lots of clutter, hard to maintain),
    (c) adding the default email address twice and using the one that appears twice in the list (the duplicated email address only appears once in the list that appears when addressing an email),
    (d) deleting all email addresses except one (with associated loss of data),
    (e) cutting and pasting all non-default emails to the Notes field (with associated loss of recognition of those addresses by the junk filter and inability to use them to send emails),
    (f) copying the default email address to the Notes field, and always sending email by opening Address Book, finding the recipient, noting the default email based on what is in Notes, right-clicking the matching email address, and choosing Send Mail (yuck),
    (g) defining a custom email type called "default" to flag the default email address (loss of information about whether default email is Home/Work/Other, does not show up in Mail, does not export to Bento, does not export to FileMaker Pro through Bento),
    (h) exporting Address Book data from Bento to FileMaker Pro, manually adding a flag in FileMaker Pro to indicate the default email address, and always sending email by opening FileMaker Pro, finding the recipient, and sending email from the default email address (must constantly re-synchronize Address Book data with FileMaker without proper keys, difficult to maintain),
    *(i )* giving up on Address Book, and send all emails from a FileMaker Pro database (with loss of Address Book synchronization capabilities, difficulty in adding new email addresses from Mail, etc.).
    It should not be this hard to accomplish such a basic task.
    1) Is there a direct way to flag one email address as default that I have missed?
    2) Does anyone have any other workarounds or tricks that might work?
    Thanks,

    This "feature" of Entourage doesn't "just work"; it works only in the context of what the Entourage programmers have designed, and not what Apple has thought of designing into their system applications. Expecting them to be the same is a fantasy.
    Whether or not a feature "just works" is defined by a user's experience. When you view a list of email addresses for a contact in Entourage address book, one of them is bold (the same visual feedback that Apple uses when selecting a default email address for Groups). Adjacent to the email addresses is a button that says "Make Default". If you select a different address and click this button, the new email address turns bold, and the next time you address an email to that contact it is automatically selected when you type enough of a contact's name. It probably took me no more than 30 seconds to figure out the first time I saw it, and it automatically selects the correct default address (the one I told it to use) for years without further intervention by me.
    In my experience this feature just works, without regard for which company the programmers work for, even though it "works only in the context of what the Entourage programmers have designed", despite the fact that Apple programmers didn't think of it, and without needing to compare it to any other program.
    Mulder wrote:
    You can't do that, as long as you have multiple addresses stored in Address Book for each contact, and they continue to send you email from various email addresses. Mail and Address Book share information, so when you type enough of a contact's email address to find it in Mail, you can select it as the email address to use, but not as a default, since you already have multiple email addresses stored from these people.
    I am fully aware that I can't select a default address in the current version of Address Book. But it is preposterous (and a bit insulting to Apple programmers) if you are suggesting that the programmers "can't do that, as long as you have multiple addresses stored in Address Book". In fact, they have already done it for groups. They were also smart enough to find an intuitive way to control the default sender email and default signature for users who use multiple email accounts and signatures.

    If you delete the others and tell them not to email you except from the one address you want to use, that would solve your problem.
    That is what I meant by the tail wagging the dog (changing the behavior of not only me but multiple people in my Address Book to get around a missing software feature).

    No, you didn't choose it years ago before Mail existed. Mail has existed for over 20 years, and from Day 1 of Mac OS X, so the idea that Entourage preceded it is nonsense.
    Nonsense might be a little harsh. In 2000 I compared several email clients before deciding to go with Entourage. This was a year before Mac OS X was released in 2001. That was when I first heard of Apple Mail, and at least according to Wikipedia Apple Mail was derived from NextMail rather than from previous Apple development. I was using System 6 in 1988, and if Apple had an email program back then I was not aware of it (that is about the time Eudora was first written). I also do not remember running into it when I was in charge of selecting an email client to install on all of our departmental Macintoshes in the early 1990's.
    At any rate, what I said was "I chose it years ago (before Mail existed) because...". In other words, my point was that my decision to use a Microsoft email program was made before Apple Mail was an option for me to use on my Macintosh computers.
    Mulder wrote:> If you want to make your views about Mail or Address Book known to the engineering team at Apple, you can send them Feedback.
    Thanks. I gave up on providing feedback to big companies like Microsoft years ago, but I will give it a try with Apple.

  • Email address from address book on E72 and removin...

    Hi,
    I like my E72 but I have two problems that really annoy me.
    1. In the past when ever I would write a new email I would get list of suggested email addresses in the "To" field. For example, if I would was to write the letter S I would get the email address of the people in my address book whose name starts with an S (sam, Sofia etc).
    for some reason this feature stopped working on my phone and I can't find how to make it work again. if I want to send an email I need to manually write the email address in the "To" field.
    The auto suggestion feature works perfectly on my wife's phone (an E72 with the same firmware – 22.007) but on my phone it won't suggest email addresses from my contacts.
    2. Another problem is that my Gmail that is synced to the phone, through the Nokia Messenger server is locked on "hide emails older than 2 weeks". Now, I have hundreds of emails stored on my phone that dates to February 1st – the day I got the Phone!
    Is there a way to delete these emails automatically, without deleting them on the Gmail account itself? It makes my phone really when going through the emails.
    Thanks in advance,
    External

    Hullo all...
    I've fixed the problem with my email service on E72. The thing is, there's something wrong with the Nokia Messaging service. So I turned the service off. But you must remove the inbox properly, that is from the web site email/nokia.com, and manage your inbox from there and not from your cell phone.
    Remove it, and make a new settings on your E72 for your preferable mailbox. When they asked you about to accept or decline the Nokia Messaging service, declined it, and set your mailbox without using Nokia Messaging. Yes the e-mail doesn't instantly sent to your inbox, but you can set the timing to always enabled synchronization, and set it to every 5 minutes. It will delivered flawlessly to your E72, and you'll get a full control for your inbox and everything without being 'locked' by nokia messaging. You can decide how much email you'd like exactly in your inbox, sent, etc. You can decide the period and everything. The device are fully functional and do very well job in maintaining email, but not Nokia Messaging. (Nokia Messaging Team, please take a serious action.)
    This step will also fix your problem on email address from address book on E72. I don't really know what the connection between them, but it seems that it needs to connect to the internet to make this feature enabled. (it's kind of strange since the email in the address book is in the phone memory, not in the 'cloud' server). It sometimes happen if you don't have the internet connection, but once you had it, the problem solved.
    I hope this will fix your problem. Let me know

  • Addresses vanishing - address book doing odd things

    I am running a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro with 2 GB SDRAM - version 10.5.8 software. Yesterday, all y my addresses in address book disappeared. I was not syncing them up, I don't have a MobileMe account. I just opened up my address book and all the names and addresses were gone. I do sync up with my Verizon Palm Treo via the "MissingSync for Palm OS." But, I was not in the process of synching or backing up anything. Then just now, I noticed that suddenly all my addresses were duplicated - again, I had done nothing, clicked nothing accidentally. The only thing that I have been attempting to do is to create a new Smart Group with all my Friends in it. Is it possible that this is creating this odd behavior? I am about to repair permissions but I have never experienced anything like this - any ideas? Thanks.

    I am also having this same problem. It first appeared on August 5, and since then I have "lost" the complete contents of my Address Book (2553 entries) a total of three times.
    Originally I had sync'ing with MobileMe turned on (to update my iPhone) and was also sharing my Address Book with a colleague (read-only access).
    After the first loss (which was on my MBP only, had not affected MobileMe), I was able to recover by turning off MobileMe sync'ing and using iTunes to recover my the Address Book on my MBP. I re-established MobileMe and had all three copies in sync.
    The second loss cleared the Address Book on my MBP, also MobileMe and my iPhone. Apparently whatever had decided to delete had propogated. I had to resort to Time Machine to recover, and this involved physically copying the /user/library/application support/addressbook directory from backup to my HD.
    (Interestingly, Time Machine will not restore my address book entries within Address Book. It looks like it will work, I can open Address Book and then enter Time Machine, go back to a point where my Address Book had entries, select all and Restore All, but I only get 11 entries restored. WEIRD ITEM #2. May be related? I haven't a clue.)
    Last night it happened again. I have now stopped sharing my Address Book, turned off MobileMe sync and have sync'ed my iPhone with iTunes.
    I'd love to know a cause for this problem. I've run Disk Utility to Verify HD, also Verified and Repaired Disk Permissions, then restarted and downloaded the current software update. There were disk permission problems found and fixed.
    Do I have a corrupted Directory on my HD? If so, how can I check it?
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page.

    When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

    I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

  • How can I add multiple email addresses to Address Book?

    How can I add multiple email addresses to Address Book?
    Can it be done from an .xlsx file?

    I have tried that, but the system reads the emails as one long email and I can't find any way of separating them - it ignores spaces, colons and I have also tried putting them through a word doc... still does not work. It works perfectly easily on a PC system!! ( I have just moved to a mac!)
    any ideas would be good
    thanks

  • Importing Mac OS 9/Multiple Users/Netscape 4.8 addresses into Address Book

    Hello there,
    my wife has made the leap from Mac OS 9.2.2 to Mac OS X 10.4.3, and we're trying to figure out how to import her Netscape 4.8 addresses into Address Book. The complicating factor is that her computer ran with Multiple Users under Mac OS 9; as the Classic environment doesn't seem to be able to run as a particular Mac OS 9 "Multiple User", we're unable to run Netscape within the Classic environment as her "Multiple User" to allow the export of her addresses for subsequent importation by Address Book. We did find an existing LDIF file on the hard drive at Users:her user:Preferences:Netscape Users:her e-mail:Contacts Export.ldif that we were able to import, but it didn't seem to contain a complete set of her addresses.
    Can you recommend a way to obtain her full set of addresses? Do you know which Netscape file contains the addresses? If need be, that file can be copied, selectively edited, and its addresses can be manually reëntered; but naturally a less time-consuming solution would be preferable. Alternatively, would it be possible to run within the Classic environment as a particular "Multiple User", so that the addresses could be exported within Netscape?
    Thanks for your assistance!

      Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Here’s a summary of what I wound up doing. I downloaded the current version of Netscape for Mac OS X at http://ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape7/english/7.2/mac/macosx/sea/Netscape-MachO. dmg.gz and used it to import the addresses from the Users:her user:Preferences:Netscape Users:her e-mail:pab.na2 file. (It turns out that the pab.na2 file has the latest address book data.) This was done by cancelling the New Account Setup, then choosing Tools/Import …/Address Books/Communicator 4.x. I then exported the just-imported data by going to Netscape 7.2’s Address Book window, selecting the “nab” address book, and choosing Tools/Export … in LDIF format, followed shortly by importing the newly created LDIF file into Address Book. Unfortunately the groups didn’t survive the exodus, and had to be manually reässembled within Address Book. There also seemed to be minor data loss in Notes fields — namely, all Notes text following a colon went missing. However, that was readily worked around by restoring via copy/paste from Netscape 7.2 to Address Book. Given these caveats, the Netscape 4.8 address book data have now been reconstituted as Address Book data. I hope that this summary might prove useful to anyone else who might be facing a similar task, and would appreciate it if anyone who finds an easier way to do this would post their findings.

  • Mail and addresses from Address Book

    When I type an e-mail address in the "To" field of a new message, Mail recovers the full name from Address Book and adds it to the e-mail address. Sometimes I don't want this to happen, instead I want to enter just the plain e-mail address. I know I can edit the address in the "To" field, but I have to enter some character(s) to override the default, otherwise if I just remove the name the system puts back the full name from Address Book. Is there a possibility to get just the e-mail address from Address Book but not the full name of that person? Sometimes I use nicknames, or mnemonic characters instead of real names and I don't want these to be seen by the recipient.

    I like the idea of Mail retrieving the email addresses from Address Book, but what I don't like is that it also retrieves "Last" and"First" names, and that it does not allow me to remove them from the "To" field when composing the message. Imagine that I have an entry in my Address Book such as "JOHN (THE FAT) DOE", Or "MARY (THE BLOND) DOE". Obviously, I do not want the recipients to know that I call them "the fat John", or "the blond Mary". Or, that I am sending a message to several people, and for confidentiality reasons I do not want them to know the names of the others. In other words, I want to retrieve email addresses from Address Book but NOT the real name of that person, or at least have the possibility to remove Last and First Names from the "To" field and show only the email address.
    Thanks, and regards.

  • Mail Addresses and Address book Email Addresses

    hi all,
    i wasnt sure how to search this problem, so i thought just make a new post. do apolisge if this has already been answered somewhere.
    i wanted to know are the addresses in mail directly linked to addresses from Address book. because the two applications seem to be doing a few wierd things.
    1) when i type a name, it begins to come up. but then it comes up with a surname. and when i look in address book its there also. so i delete it but still find that the surname is still there.
    2) in mail - the surname gets filled in somehow. dont know where it gets the information.
    is there any way to reset the addresses that are saved in mail. and make sure it only gets the names in address book.
    note: i also sync the address book with my Nokia N70.
    any suggestions or help will be appericated.
    Thanks,

    Mail has a list of previous recipients that it supplements the Address Book information with. If something is showing up that isn't in the Address Book, go to Window -> Previous Recipients in Mail and you should find it in there. Remove anything you don't want to be there.

  • Adding Mail's 'previous recipients' email addresses to Address Book

    I dumped all of the 'previous recipients' email addresses to Address Book today, but when I looked in Address Book they were all poorly organized, and there were many I did not want in there, so in order to save time (I thought) I deleted them, with the intent to go back to Mail and only add the ones I wanted, and in small batches so I could organize them better when I went back to Address Book. However, when I went back to the Mail application to re-add only the ones I wanted, I saw that the 'Add to Address Book' button is whited out. It appears that since I already added them to the Address Book, even though I subsequently delted them, Mail still thinks that they have entries in the Address Book. There appears to be no way to re-set them. I have looked all over through all of the help information for both Address Book and Mail and have found no way to overcome this problem. Any insights would be appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Brendan

    Try Mail Scripts. I think the Add Addresses script will do what you want.
