Automatically adding address'

Is there a way of automatically adding address' when I send mail?
If I compose a new email to someone I have previously received an email from but isn't in my address book auto fill will add the address for me but the address is nowhere to be found in my Address book. Is there a way of automatically adding outgoing mail recipients to my address book without having to remember each time?
Thanks

Not automatically, no.
There is, however, an Add Sender to Address Book option under the Message menu at the top of your screen. There's also a keyboard shortcut, shift + command + Y.
That way you can add them to your address book when you receive an email.
Mail keeps its own separate 'address book' called 'Previous Recipients'. You can access it under the Window menu. There is an option to add those contacts to Address Book in that window as well.
Hope that helps!

Automatically adding contacts to Address Book with Mail?

Hello all,
This is my first post in the Apple Discussion forum, but I'm a happy Mac owner since July 2007. Here's a question I have; I searched to see if a similar topic appeared in previous discussions, but none turned up.
In Microsoft Outlook (on my work PC), I can set it up so that anytime I reply to an e-mail address from somebody new, the contact is automatically added to my address book. Is there a way to set that up with Mail and/or Address Book?
I was going through Address Book and noticed some VERY old contacts, but I know for some of them, I have more recent e-mail address. I hope I don't have to manually add all of them!
Thanks in advance for your help!
All the best,
MARK

Hi Mark, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Sadly, I don't know how to do it for received Mail, but ones you've sent to can be done in Mail. Select Window Menu item>Previous Recipients, press Command-A when the new window appears, and then click Add to Address Book, then in Address Book>Card Menu Item, select look for Duplicates.

Mail is automatically adding a BCC to one specific address

I have one specific email address in my Address Book that is having another email address automatically added. I am not sure if the unintended address is in the CC field or the Bcc field. It is always the same email address added.
I have searched the Address Book and Mail and I cannot find anything that would do this.
My Address Book is synced through iCloud to my iMac, iPad, and my iPhone. All devices do the same thing when I sent an email to htis one specific address.
Has anyone had this happen before?
Thanks a lot for the help.

It's DEFINITELY a bug! My wife's name is "Jac" and every time I correct the address book to be "Jac" with no surname (or no Christian name and "Jac" as the surname) with in a day or so her contact is listed as "Jac Jac."
It's not listed this way anywhere else. Her emails to me are listed with her full name, not Jac Jac.
I just checked and she was in my previous recipients listed as Jac Jac, so perhaps if I remove that entry from the previous recipients of all my machines this might stop. But it must have started somewhere!

I have all my music on my external hard drive when I try to add it to iTunes it is automatically added to my MacBook Pro's hard drive. How do I stop this from happening? I just want the music to stay on the external hard drive. Thanks!

This is true of course, but doesn't cover the situation where some files are in the iTunes Media folder and others are on an external drive. In my case I keep my music in the Media folder and all my films on an external drive (there are too many to have on the internal drive). In iTunes 11, and before, it was easy to add those external files by holding down the alt/opt key while dragging to the sidebar. In iTunes 12 this is no longer possible. There are several workarounds: use TuneSpan to move the file after it's been added; delete the file from the Media folder and empty the trash then use iTunes Get Info which will report the file is missing and allow you to locate it; constantly switch the Add to iTunes toggle on and off as required. All of these require a lot more work than just holding down the alt/opt key while adding.
It constantly gets harder.

How do I duplicate layers & groups without automatically adding a "copy", "copy 1", "copy #" at the end of the new group?

How do I duplicate layers & groups without automatically adding a "copy", "copy 1", "copy #" at the end of the new group?
It's been pestering me for quite a while now, since I often work with the same elements over and over again. Its frustrating to have to change the name of each layer manually, especially if I'm copying a whole group.
Is there a setting in Photoshop or perhaps an external script that can help fix this for me?
Cheers,
Qiming

There is no way to defeat this within the program itself. Here's the workaround:
Duplicate the file (from the Image menu).
Drag the Group or layers from the Layers list from the duplicate to the image window of the original , while holding down Shift.
That will make a "copyless" copy and reposition the copyed material in the exact same position it was on the original.

I cannot get my e-mail to automatically enter addresses in the "TO:" box. In the past, I would get a list of e-mail recipients to appear when I typed 1 letter. That function no longer works. Do I need to change a setting or what?

I don't accept cookies except from "Exception" domains. However, it seems that any site that want to set a cookie is automatically added to my list of "Exceptions". Why is this?

I have "Accept cookies from sites" unchecked. I have a list of exceptions for domains that I allow to set cookies. However, it seems some site not on my exception list are automatically added to my list when they want to set cookies.
Why/how is this happening?

Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

How do I stop itunes from automatically adding songs into my itunes library?

I want to disable itunes from automatically adding songs into my library. Every time I sync up my ipod I'm finding miscellaneous debris on it that itunes keeps importing into it. Theres got to be a way to disable this function but I can't seem to find it in the preferences. I'm using a 2011 macbook pro with os x 10.6.7.

I figured out how to change itunes as my default player. I did this by selecting a new audio file and hitting cmd and I to get info, then I selected the "open with" category. Inside "open with" theres an option to open the file with quick time, underneath that is the "change all" option. select that and you will solve this problem if this is a nuisance to anyone else.

Save a pdf file without Adobe automatically adding "-Copy" to the end

How can I save a pdf file without Adobe automatically adding "-Copy" to the end of file name?

If you have actually made any changes (e.g. adding a Sticky Note or filling out forms), the Save button will appear in the bottom toolbar. It will save it as the same name.
"- Copy" is added only when you tap/click the Save As button. You can change it to something else, if you'd like.

How to deal with the automatic 6to4 addresses in the network

As we use public IPv4 address in our network, each computer automatically gets an 6to4 address. I understand after the World IPv6 Lauch, these computers may use the 6to4 address to talk to IPv6 enabled websites through the free and unmanaged 6to4 gateways on internet. This may cause unmanaged connectiviy issues. How to prevent this? How would you deal with this? Is there a way to stop these computers to get the automatic 6to4 addresses?
Thanks.

I know this may not be the answer you're looking for...
But what about considering implementing IPv6 within your network? (dual-stack)
When the computers have native IPv6 connectivity, they should always prefer using the native IPv6 connection rather than any of the tunneling mechanisms such as 6to4.
Instead of looking at this as a "unmanaged" problem, look at this as "managed" connectivity service.
So by enabling IPv6 within your network, you get two things done.
1) Your network steps into the future.
2) Your clients (managed and unmanaged) will have native connectivity to both IPv4 and IPv6 resources, just like you do with IPv4-only resources today, and then you don't have to worry too much about 6to4.

PO item Texts, Un-necessary characters ( &#10) are automatically added

All SAP Gurus,
In PO Texts (Item), we enter some text and when we are saving the PO, some un-necessary characters (&#10) are automatically added into it.
Only these characters are getting addded into the PO text.
And these are added after each line we have entered.
What may be the reason for this?
Even after we remove these characters manually, these get added again when we try to save the PO again in ME22N.
Regards,

Hi,
I think you can remove this additional characters(&#10).In me22, Under PO text ,there is SAPscript Editior,select that,then it will take into sapscipt editor,then remove additional characters,then save it.
I hope it will clear your problem.
With Regards,
Jaheer.

Automate adding unique passwords to a number of pdf files

Is there a way to automate adding unique passwords to a number of pdf files

No you can't. Although Acrobat SDK claims support for that it does not actually work. At least I was unable to get Acrobat to register my encryption filter and use it. I was told it has something to do with the export restrictions. You can, I think, use Acrobat SDK to create a standalone application that does what you want but I myself never tried that.

ITunes is automatically adding items to download queue - 1 GB

"The iTunes client is downloading items that I did not choose to purchase! I find this annoying and would very much like to get the issue resolved as soon as possible. I would like to have the remaining items in my download queue removed. I would like to receive a credit for these items in the queue.
I purchased a Multi-pass and downloaded an episode of "The Daily Show" on 3/9/2006. This is the only episode that I have chosen to download. I noticed that that iTunes was downloading episodes for a range of dates starting on 3/13/2006. There is 1/2 Gigabyte of The Daily Show episodes days in my download queue. This is particularly irritating because I purchased a song last night that I can not download until I get the issue resolved."
The preceding was the message that I originally sent to customer service. The problem persists. Every time I log into iTunes I find that more episodes have been automatically added to the queue.
I thought that I would be able to select the specific episodes that I wanted when I purchased the multipass.
I have sent several messages to customer service and each time I get a stock answer that had nothing to do with my actual problem.
The first answer began:
"Dear Customer,
I'm sorry to hear your purchased music is missing. Its possible that the title is still in your download queue. Follow these easy instructions to resume your download:
1. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. iTunes can be downloaded, free-of-charge, from our website. Installing the latest version of iTunes will not affect your download queue. ..."
The second answer began:
"Thank you for your patience as we have worked to resolve the recent problem with The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
The corrected version of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart 3/20/06" has been added to your download queue. You may download it at any time, free of charge, by opening iTunes and selecting Check for Purchases from the Advanced menu.
To learn more about the Check for Purchases feature in iTunes, please read this article. ..."
I am getting frustrated with the situation. Please help

The multi-pass is apparently functioning as it was designed to function. It is designed to automatically download the next 15 episodes automatically as they become available.
The text by the "buy" button read "$9.99 (16 episodes)." The fine print beneath indicates that the episodes are contiguous. I might have guessed this but there was a 4 day gap after the first episode.
This is not really what I had expected but I'm not complaining. I have not seen any bad Daily Show episodes.
I received a follow up message from Apple explaining the situation. The message was on par with the excellent support I have received from Apple in the past.
