Apple Works 6 Assistants (Address labels)

Hi
I would like to use the address labels Assistant referred to in the AppleWorks help file but when I open Assistants there are only 4 options listed - not including address labels. When I spoke to Apple Support the person there could only find the 4 options on his machine and suggested that I make a data base file from scratch and take it from there. No doubt that would work but I thought the Assistant was meant to make it easier and should in any case be there?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Hasty,
Labels in AppleWorks are made from within the Database module. The Labels Assistant does not appear in Starting Points, but is activated by the New Labels Layout menu item in the Layout menu, which is visible when you have a DB document open.
If you are making labels for outgoing mail (ie. if the name and address are different on each label) you will need a database that contains the names and addresses to appear on each label.
If you are making return address labels (ie. every label will have the same name and address) you will still need a database document, with as many records as there are labels on the page you are using, but the DB needs only a single field, and the field does not have to contain any data.
You'll find a full set of instructions in Sharon Joiner's post in the User Tips library here:

Hi Sister Kate,
If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account. Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.

I am trying to change my apple Id on my iPad from an old work email address to a new one. I have changed it in FaceTime and on the iPad log in but can't get it to change in iTunes. Any ideas?

If they are no longer in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, the tap Save to Camera Roll).

I purchased Label Printer Pro 7, but it does not work. It crashes. Please recommend an address/shipping label program that works with Avery labels. Thanks.

I purchased Label Printer Pro 7, but it does not work. It crashes. I press print, and the program closes. I press save, and the program closes. I press print and the program closes. I have had an email exchange with Pabel Printer Pro 7, but the best they could offer was to go to Utilities and click on fixed permssions. I have done that several times, and the program still doesn't work.
Can you please recommend an address.shipping label program that works with Avery labels that I can purchase, and that is also simple to use?
Thanks,
Paula

The volume on my iPad 3 has dropped considerably. I have read quite a few posts and followed advice re doing reset and checking settings. Nothing has worked. WHEN IS APPLE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

The volume on my iPad 3 has dropped to a very low setting. I have tried all the suggestions with setting and did a reset, nothing works and it seems this is an issue with many others. When is Apple going to address this problem?

You aren't talking to Apple here. This is a user to user technical help forum hosted by Apple. We are all users here.
For what it's worth I haven't see any change in volume on my iPad 3.

HT2486 What is the Apple equivalent of an address label L7160 ? (21 PER SHEET)

What is the Apple equivalent of an address label sheet L7160 (21 PER SHEET) ?

Many thanks for your reply but my problem is that I have sheets of labels already ........... however on the Apple address Book there seems to be no equivalent of a 3 column x 7rows sheet.
Any ideas?

HT1363 hi, i use an old but great black photo/video ipod. Suddendly it won't recharge, when connected it emits several clicks and an ipod icon appears together with the apple support email address. I have tried to restore and reset but it won't work. Any

hi i use an old black 60G photo/video ipod. Suddenly it won't recharge, when connected to the pc it emits several cicks in serires and then it shows at intervals a low battery signs and another sign, a sad faced ipod icon with the apple support email address. Any clues and to how I can rescue it? Thank you very much. Alf1962

I am having essentialy the same problem, but my iPod came from a PC and is now on a PC. The person who gave me the iPod didn't give me the wall adapter piece, so I bought a "Griffin" brand that was said to be compatible with this model. When I first plugged it into the wall, the Apple appeared with a bar underneath as though it was loading the new software. When the bar got to the end, the "plug into the wall" icon reappeared, but when I plug it in to the wall now, that icon is the only thing that shows, even after resetting and trying to run diagnostics.
When I doc the iPod on a charger I have or plug the USB into my computer and "reset" it, a battery with a charge icon appears, but there is no "motion" in the icon so it doesn't appear to be charging. The screen eventually goes back to the apple then to the "plug it into the wall" icon. HELP!!! Is is possible the wall adapters isn't the right one? Should I be charging through a firewire cable instead (which I also don't have...)?

Wonky Address Labels ?

I am about to give up the idea of ever finding a native Mac OS application for addresses and just keep using the 10-year old Parsons Address Book Windows software that I currently run using Virtual PC. It may be clunky and it may be creaky but, by golly, I can almost always get it to do what I want. And I can’t say the same about Apple’s Address Book … or about any other Mac address book that I have found.
I have been trying to use Apple’s Address Book to print a decent address label for a week … off and on. And I have not been able to get the software to behave. All I want to do is to print spouses in a reasonable form; say “John and Mary Smith”, when they share the same surname or “John Smith and Mary Jones” if they do not. I would also like to be able to include their children … preferably on a second line, but on the same line as the parents, if necessary.
Apple’s Address Book seems to have a mind of it’s own; it prints pretty much whatever it wants on an address label. Sometimes spouses print correctly, sometimes not. One time it printed the father correctly but skipped the spouse and two children, while printing the third child as though she were the spouse. It even has tried to give me “John Smith and _______“ as an address label for an unmarried person.
I visited this forum several times and reviewed recent messages with similar topics. One related suggestion was to use Easy Envelopes at:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27679
This looks good for the primary person, but evidently will not help get the spouse or children on the label. Another suggestion was to ‘type’ both names (John and Mary) into the first name field for the primary person. This would work, but also does not handle children. Anyway, I am not about to do this for the 250 or so married persons in my database where all these entries have separate names for the spouses (not separate cards, but completed spouse fields).
So I decided to export the database, put it in Excel, and do some column merging to get a one-time solution to my label-printing problem. That didn’t work, either, but I will post my exporting problem in a separate message.
After all this, I searched, once again, for a Mac OS address book program. There are several out there, but none allow custom address labels or have reasonable import/export features.
Any suggestions for customizing and printing labels with Apple Address Book would be welcome.
I suppose I can continue to use my old Windows stuff on Virtual PC … even though opening VPC just to get to address book software seems like a bother …
C’mon, Apple. Fix your Address Book turkey!!

Yes, it's possible to create address labels in Pages from date in Numbers. A bit tedious though, because you will only get one Numbers record (row) per Pages page. To make a full sheet of address labels you would need to arrange your Numbers table to have multiple addresses per row in your table, as many as there are labels on your printed sheet. Then you have to create all the links.
My preference would be to print the labels from Numbers directly, by creating a table in the arrangement and size of your label sheet and programming it to reference the database that resides in another sheet and table in the same document.
The official solution is to import your address data into Address Book from Numbers and print the labels from Address Book. If I were to do this, I think I would make a new user account so that I could have an Address Book dedicated to this project.

Not receiving email from my work email address.

Hey Everyone,
Normally it would be a blessing but I cannot send emails to my icloud/me account from my work email address.
This was working last Thursday morning but then stopped working towards the afternoon. I have tried sending a test email with a send receipt but even the test email is not working. I have spoken to our technicians at work and they have confirmed that all mail have left our email server.
Emails from other sources that are being sent to my icloud/me account are working.
Has anyone ever had this problem?
Thank you in advance.

Perhaps your work's domain address is being incorrectly identified and filtered out as spam. If that were the case you would need to contact iCloud support for assistance. (See "Troubleshooting false positives here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4899.)

Don't want spouse & children to appear on address label

I'm trying to print mailing labels from Address Book. Unless I have the "Company" box checked, Address Book is putting the spouse & all the childrens names along side the adult name on the first line of the address label. How do I stop these names from appearing on my address labels and just have the single adult name appear?
Here is an example of what is being printed:
Jane Smith, Tim, Susan and Harry
101 Cedar Way
Austin, TX 89765
I want the label to look like this:
Jane Smith
101 Cedar Way
Austin, TX 89765

And I am having the opposite problem! (I want the spouse and children names to print, as AB used to work.)
Here is the KB article that discusses this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3952
Since your post indicates you are on 10.5.8 then AB works the way you describe. You will see that, starting with 10.6, it works the way you want it do (but no longer the way I was counting on!!)
Other than modifying the "name" field to be a compound name (which I do not want, in general, for all my contacts), does anyone know how to get the "new & improved" Address Book to print labels for a "holiday" mailing, without distorting the entries for the more general use throughout the year. Ugh!
Or, does anyone have a different label printing app that works better ... works the way Address Book used to work?

Printing Address Label

I am wanting to print address labels for Christmas that only show the Husband, Wife and Last Name. ie. John and Mary Smith along with the address. IF I have the children's names shown in "Address Book" inside of John and Mary's contact information, the label prints out ALL of the childrens' names as well. ie. John and Mary Smith, Larry, Susan, Todd, Ann along with the address. How do I just print the husband and wife's name and address without all the children's names?

Tony Frank wrote:
I don't see what you mean "they don't print." The Other name IS printed when printing Labels, but in the form: John Smith and Mary.
Figured this one out - it will print AS LONG AS THE LAST NAME IS THE SAME. So "Test Case" and "Mister Test Case" as spouse works; Joe Smith and Kathy Harris as spouse does not. Apple apparently is supporting the patriarchy in that regard.
In any event duplicating a group is as easy as copy/paste.
Simply select the group in the Group column, Copy, then Paste. The group is copied with the original name "- Copy". Presto! All the cards are duplicated.
Right, but this does not eliminate the labor necessary to edit individual cards to correct for the problem noted above - the vast majority of my cards are not simple same-surname pairings, so most of them will have to be corrected by hand. Guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and do it knowing that it will be a one-time investment.

How do I change the default apple id (email address) that is prompted on my iPhone? It prompts me with an id that I do not have and cannot access.

When do you get prompted for this ID? If you are asked for an AppleID
you do not know during Activation, contact the seller for assistance. Only
the person who set the Activation Lock can remove it. If the seller refuses
or does not know the requested AppleID and passcode, return the iPhone
for a full refund as it is useless. There is no work around for Activation Lock,
The person who set the lock needs to follow the actions in this link:
Prepare your device to sell or give away
You can check if Activation Lock is the problem here:
https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/
That link will only tell you if the iPhone is Activation Locked - it will not provide
any information about the source of the lock, nor can you get any information
from any source other than the original owner of the iPhone/person who set
the lock.

Apple mail and address book amnesia

I recently purchased a new imac to replace my macpro. The macpro was running Snow Leopard 10.6.8
My new mac is on Mavericks. I copied the entire address book over from Snow Leopard over to Mavericks
In mail on Mavericks, when I receive an email it no longer recognizes that the email is already in my address book.
When I highlight the email address in mail it gives me the option to "add to contacts" but i know for a fact that this person is already in my address book.
In snow leopard when someone emailed me that had done so before, I was able to highlight their address and it would open their contact info in address book automatially so I could read all personal info. Now about 90% of the time it forgets that i already have this email in my address book so I must manually search for this contact
How do i force apple mail and address book to work together again?

Hi,
I have the following problem. When I updated to Mavericks (from snow leopard), the folder name "Address Book" did not change into "Contacts".
I could see that all data were still there (library/application support/address book/metadata) but when I opened "contacts" in dock it displayed "0" elements.
I could display my contacts only through Mail, which is very strange, because I could not open it in Contacts.
Again, my identity in Mail was wrong: I received the eMails with the name of client of mine (who is in my address book). The address was correct, but the label was and is still wrong.
Then I've changed the folder name from "address book" into "contacts" and now, when I open it from the docks, it display 2 elements.
1) Apple GmbH (Ltd. in Germany)
2) My personal contact data (but I had to enter all my data again). Concerning this I my be wrong but I think that before it displayed my contact/identity as "me" and now it doesn't (name/family name/company...)
I can't retrieve the data in the metadata folder.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Silvio
