Avoid "mailto:"-part when copying an e-mail address from a message?

I do a lot of copying e-mail addresses from within an e-mail message, during my day. It's annoying that "mailto:" is automatically added to the e-mail address when placed in the clipboard, as if you just paste it into a new e-mail, as "mailto:[email protected]", then Apple Mail will complain about the e-mail message.
I just right click on an e-mail address within a message and select the "copy" option (I don't know what it is in english, "copy link", perhaps?).

If you are talking about an address in a received mail the easy way to do it is to click the star to the right of the senders email as it displays in the Message Pane or Tab header.
If the sender is not in one of your address books the star is not filled with color. Clicking the empty star will add it to the default Personal Address Book and fill the star with color.
Clicking a filled star will open the contact edit dialog box and there is a drop down list of address books so you can move it.
This is NOT the same star that shows to the left of a message header in the Inbox window.
You can also drag and drop contacts between address books easily.

Copying and Pasting E-Mail addresses from Mail To, From, CC Fields

In previous versions of Mail, you could copy an e-mail address from the To, From, or CC fields and past it into a document. In Mail 4.0 (mad 4.1), when you do this, the address shows up just as it appears in the field from which it was copied.
Here's an example. First, the address as it appears in the From field:
(1) John Smith <[email protected]>
Earlier versions of Mail would allow you to select this address, copy it and paste it as
(2) [email protected]
Now, however, you get the whole thing as in (1), a real nuisance if all you want is the e-mail address itself. Two questions. First, rhetorically, why would anyone want to make this change? Second, is there any way to persuade Mail to revert to its earlier behavior?

Copying and pasting e-mail addresses from excel

I have always copied and pasted e-mail addresses from an excel file into the "to" field on the e-mail. This has always worked fine. Now for some reason, if there is a blank row on the excel field between e-mail addresses, when copying over it is now adding commas to the e-mail addresses meaning that the address fails. Something must have changed in my settings but I do not know where. Appreciate any help please

Just to add some info, it works just as bad if you copy from your own address-book. If there is a missing line it will show up as an extra comma and the recipient after that comma will fail.

My husband has an iPad and I just got one for me. We both have the same e-mail address. The message I get when I try to set my new one up is that the Apple ID is already in use. How do I set up with our shared e-mail account

My husband has an iPad and I just got one for me. We both have the same e-mail address. The message I get when I try to initiate setup is that the Apple ID is already in use. Any ideas on how to complete the setup of the new iPad since we both share the e-mail account?

If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other.

How do I remove e-mail addresses from a csv file referencing a numbers doc

Greetings! I hope someone out there can help me. I'm not exactly a genius when it comes to numbers...
My Issue:
I'm attempting to sending out a large e-mail blast via software called hoolie, it seems to be working amazingly well except for the fact that I've reached our Gmail accounts daily limit which I had zero idea existed.
So about 1100 emails were sent and I still have to send about 1500 emails left to be sent. The software has no ability to resend to the failed e-mail addresses, so I'm left to my own devices...
My Goal:
I want to be able to subtract out the 1100 e-mail address from the csv file I have with all the addresses. Once I subtract out the e-mail addresses I can then resend the blast and throttle it so it takes a day or so and won't freak out google gmail...
How can I accomplish this? I have the orginal CSV file with all the names and e-mail addresses and I have a new numbers doc in which I pasted the e-mails that were succesfully sent...
Thoughts? Suggetsions?
thanks in advance!

Are you suggesting that it sent it to a random sample of the email addresses, that it did not start at the beginning and go row by row until it failed? If that is the case, you can import the CSV file into Numbers, paste your list of sent addresses in another column or another table of that document, then use COUNTIF to look for duplicates.
The best I can do is an example.Your table will no doubt be different so you'll have to rejigger the formula.
Importing your CSV file will create column B
Insert two new columns, C and D
Use Copy/Paste to copy/paste your list of sent addresses from your other document into column D
The formula in column C is =IF(COUNTIF(D,B)>0,"Was Sent","")
Once it has done its thing, sort by column C to get all the "Was Sent" rows together. Delete them. Delete column C, Delete column D. Share as a CSV.

How does one remove temporary files from Safari? A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac. Now I can't remove her e-mail address from Facebook. It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find

How does one remove temporary files from Safari? A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and Safari 6.1.6. Now I can't remove her e-mail address from my computer. When I open Facebook her address shows in the user button. I do not have a Facebook account. It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find anything that tells me how to do this. Are temporary files the same as the cache? It also was suggested that I try clearing Safari cache. How do I do that?

Check Safari/Preferences/Passwords to see if the Facebook account is there. If so, select it and remove it. If you are still having problems, Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari.

How do i remove my e mail address from my i message

Can anyone tell me how I can remove my e mail address from my i mail, was notified by friends that everytime I i mail them my full e mail address shows instead of my name as usual?????
Hope somebody can help

Perhaps I don't understand your question. Above you mention "i mail"; I'm assuming you meant "iMessage". If that is want you meant, then have you turned iMessage to On in Settings>Messages? And if so, does it say anything just below the iMessage On/Off button (such as "waiting for activation")?

I am changing ISPs and will be dropping two email addresses I use as AppleID's. Can I keep them as AppleID's and use a rescue e-mail address from a new ISP? What are the downsides if I have an iCloud address as an alias under one of those addresses?

I am about to change internet service providers and will be dropping two e-mail addresses that I use as Apple ID’s. One is used solely for iTunes and the other is used for iCloud, mail, calendars, etc. The second has two iCloud email address as aliases. I will be going to a new ISP and will establish an e-mail address from that ISP as a backup in case the iCloud addresses are not available.
It has been suggested to me that I should continue to use the e-mail addresses from the old ISP as my Apple ID’s. And that I use the e-mail address from the new ISP as a rescue e-mail address for those Apple ID’s to get any communications relating to the ID’s. That seems like a simple and straight-forward way of handling the change and would minimize the chance of complications from changing the Apple ID’s. But, are there any downsides to handling the change in this way? If so, what are they?

You can continue to use them as Apple ID's, change the rescue address (as you know)
You can use your iCloud address, but it won't be an alias, it's a full email address.
