Calendar using iphoto / Address book

I am trying to create a calendar using iphoto and for any reason is not letting me add a photo to a specific date. Also is not showing the icons on the botton of the screen, such as iweb and others icons that is supposed to show. I have watched the instructions available on the site and I could see that the icons does not appear on the iphoto screen also when I click into a specific date in order to add a picture for that date nothing happened it means is not allowing me to add a photo. Can someone let me know how can I add those icons on the botton of the iphoto screen and also how to fix the calendar so I can add a photo.
I am using the latest version of iphoto, this computer is brand new and I am a new user of apple.
Address Book, in the apple site show the address book has a view as adress book the one you buy on the store in my computer is showing just like a page not really like an address book, can you tell me how can I change this view.
I appreciate!

Are you using iPhoto 11? Then you should update your profile as it's go you using 10.5.6 and that can't be.
All you need to to is drag a photo from the photo bin on the right into the date area.
To get the photo tray click on the Photo button at the bottom right of the iPhoto window.

I get an error trying to use Apple Address Book with Word Mail merge - says it cannot open data file?

I am running MS Word 2011, latest Mac OS, and trying to use the Mail Merge option with the Apple Address Book as the data source.
However whenever I select the Apple Address Book as the data source, I get the error "Word was unable to open the data source".
Anybody got any idea why?
Thanks for your help

I am guessing you could have solved this little problem already but perhaps someone else may benefit:
I struggled with the same problem - not being able to use Mac Address Book (i.e. Contacts) with Word 2013 for mac mail-merge (on Mountain Lion and, now, on Mavericks) - with the exact same error message reported by Klausngigtoas above .
So I read lots of techie stuff on forums which passed a nice few hours but didn't help. Finally, with slumped, defeated expression, I gave up.
But I just now (such is life) I accidentally stumbled upon the simple solution:
1. Enter System Preferences and click Security & Privacy.
2. Select the Privacy tab and then on Contacts on the left hand panel.
3. In the right hand panel ("Allow the apps below to access your contacts") just tick the Contacts box.
4. And Voilà! - at least it worked for me - hope it does for you.

Calendar server and address book server login fails with outlook connector

Hi all,
I have installed Java Communication Suite 5 according to the doc http://blogs.sun.com/factotum/resource/comms5-install-linux.html.
When i deploy the connector i get the pop ups saying "Server:servername:3080
Error:service not available" also
"Server:servername:80/uwc"
Error:service not available"
asking to login to calendar server and address book server.Clicking "OK" allows install.
In outlook i can send and receive mails but not the meeting requests.It gives the error "login to calendar server" when i create a meeting request.
Please let me know what i have to do to get rid of the error.The username and passwd entered is correct.

Hi,
When i deploy the connector i get the pop ups saying
"Server:servername:3080
Error:service not available" also Do you get exactly what you say above, or have you substituted in the real server name for "Server:servername:" above?
I would check through the outlook connector deployment configuration to verify that you have inserted valid information into all of the host & port fields - perhaps check the .ini file that is created to see if it has "Server" and "servername" listed.
"Server:servername:80/uwc"
Error:service not available"You are able to log into UWC via the web-interface and access your calendar/pab and edit/modify/delete calendar & addressbook entries right? The services are all up?
asking to login to calendar server and address book
server.Clicking "OK" allows install.The outlook connector deployment software gives you the option to increase the logging level, try that and see what the logs say - what was it trying to connect to/check which failed.
In outlook i can send and receive mails but not the
meeting requests.It gives the error "login to
calendar server" when i create a meeting request.
Please let me know what i have to do to get rid of
the error.The username and passwd entered is
correct.I suspect this is more of an underlying configuration issue that needs to be sorted out, once that happens you shouldn't have to keep logging in.

Mail app using old Address Book group list

I have a strange problem. Using OS 10.7.2 and iCloud on my mac. I just removed all of the entries from a group contact in Address Book and added new ones. It shows up with the new list when I check my contacts on-line on iCloud.com.
The problem is in Mail.app. When I create a new message and type the group name, it is somehow using an old list of contacts for that group. I deleted everything from the "Previous Recipients" list thinking that would help, but it didn't.
Any idea why Mail is not using the address book correctly?
Thanks.

A computer restart seems to have solved the problem.

Can I use my Address Book to create a data base and then merge from it to create mailing labels?

Is it possible to use my Address Book to create a data base and then merge from it to create mailing labels?
Thanks,
CF

I know one way, it is not elegant but it does work.
1. Open Thunderbird. (download here: https://www.mozilla.org/EN/thunderbird/)
2. Click on Address Book.
3. On the left in the new window is a list of your Address books and groups. Select the one you want.
Your addresses will appear to the right.
4. In Thunderbird / Tools select Export, and Save as "Comma Separated".
You can open that list of addresses in Excel or in FileMaker Pro. Mail merge proceeds from there.

A few IPhoto Faces pictures cannot be used in Address Book contacts

Hi all,
I have read some topics around about similar issue but I was not able to fix the problem by reading at suggestions.
Couple of days ago I have started to populate my address book.
I noticed that I was not able to use Faces from Iphoto to assign a picture to my contacts - the reason was Iphoto and address book probably use the same database and there was no match between a face and a contact. Only solution: retag the faces! I used the following method:
1) choose a photo already tagged
2) tag it again using a contact from the address book
3) merge old tag with new tag
4) rename the Face with a nickname I prefer instead of last name \ first name from address book.
It worked with the exception of 2 faces: every time I do step 4, in the address book I cannot find anymore the pictures.
I tried to delete the contact in the address book, use completely different tags and so on, but no way, it seems like there are some trash data or reference data preventing me from doing that.
I know it is only i face \ contact but would liek to understand why.
Any Genius that can help me?
Cheers

Update:
I think I have found the gap: if the name assigned to the Face has no reference with the address book contact, the issue is experienced.
Try to explain: my contact in AB is Dexter Morgan. In IPhoto I start tagging all the pictures as Dexter Morgan. Then I change the Face tag from Dexter Morgan to: "uncle D". I will not be able to use anymore a picture from the group unlce D to set an image to Dexter Morgan contact in AB.
In the case I would rename the Face tag back to Dexter Morgan o for example uncle Dexter, I will be able to use the images inside the group into the AB.

Format of files for calendar, tasks and address book to export/sync

My idea is to sync the files that are used by TB/Lightning, to manage my calendar, tasks and the address book.
My question is, in which files calendar, tasks, address book are saved and which format do these have?
Do I NEED to export each of them, before managing them with another software? (Icedove and possibly Android)

When you export your calendar, it is in an .ics file, both events and tasks. The ics file is a text file which can be edited. RFC-5545 defines the format.
When you export your address book, there are two formats: CSV is comma separated variables, and can be input to a spreadsheet. LDIF is also a text file and is better for importing into another computer.
As far as syncing, I'm not sure what you have in mind, but Google is one way to share that data between devices.

Is there a link between the Calendar and the Address Book

I wanted to know if there is a way that if you are setting up an appointment in the Calendar that you are able to place a contact name from the address book and link that information with the scheduled appointment?
Thanks
John

Not within the native RIM OS, no.
But I use an application called RexConnect which will perform that function--and many others, such as allowing an email to be inserted into a calendar event or task--or vice versa.

IPhoto & Address Book integration (iphoto 8.0.1 )

With the early release of iPhoto '09 I have tagged all my pictures to use that faces feature. With the iPhoto update 8.0.1. it adds an address book integration, namely iPhoto is able to suggest names from the address book application. Well. For each contacts I have 2 pictures on the corkboard, one from the initial tags session, the other from a recent session based on Address Book recognition. How to merge them??? Do they test their feature before integrating them?

It's easy,
I fiddled with it for a while to figure it out.
Here's what you have to do. Click/drag the contact that was not tagged to the address book and drop it to the contact that was attached to the address book. It will merge them.
To make sure that I had at least one picture attached to the address book I untagged one picture for each "names" I have in my address book and retagged them with the help of the address book. Once finished I did the drag and drop and voila !
The only thing missing is to be able to use the key picture for a name and sync it to the address book (ID photo). Simple feature that would make iphoto 09 so much better.

Can I switch off iPhoto / Address book integration?

iPhoto 9 has just started suggesting names in my address book in addition to already existing 'names', but I don't want it to. Is there any way of telling it not to?

No
Suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
Use feedback is how the address book integration came into being and how a preference to turn it off will be added

How do I tell iCal which email address to use in Address Book?

iCal's help files on how to set an email alarm for iCal are clear as mud to me. If I click on alarm in Info of an event, select email as type of alarm, then a popup says must add card with name and own email in Address Book. Fine, click on Open Address Book. Well, then what? I already have more than one card in there with an email address for me. Even if I select one, nothing happens. So how do I make the connection? How can I tell iCal which card to use? I see nothing in Address Book menus or help files.

Hi Guys,
Been dealing with a similar issue for about 3 years now, so I know your pain. Apple will not solve this problem because they're a stickler for standards, no matter what the rest of the world really needs. Since I'm a developer at heart, I decided to tackle the problem on my own and built a software product called Zamain for Mac to support sending Apple iCal invitations from multiple Apple Mail email accounts. It also resolves common Apple iCal to Microsoft Outlook/Exchange problems. I originally built the product for myself, but soon realized that this can help others as well.
Although I know that this is a shameless plug for my product, I urge you to give it a try because it will really make your life easier. I have been using it every day for past 6 months and I can tell you that it saved me a lot of grief.
You can get Zamain for Mac at www.zamain.com.
Thanks!

Using the address book as an LDAP DB

Hi,
I was wondering if there was a project that enables the address book application to act as an LDAP server? or an LDAP server that can easily be configured in order to use the mac address book as its database.
This way it could be used by any mail client (other than mail).

You might want to take a look at Addressbook X LDAP (or it's free companion Addressbook 4 LDAP) available at http://www.j2anywhere.com. ABxLDAP allows the transparent sharing of contacts by transfering them to a shared LDAP directory. It has support for multiple schema and can also be extended.

I am unable to forward or write a email and send it out, seem to have lost the capability of using my address book

I was using my emails and forwarding and answering emails, and I must have hit some button wrong, and now I am unable to pull up my address book to add names to the send box. I have restarted my computer hoping that this would fix the problem, but it did not. Please help me out. Carol

Can any other email programs use OSX Address Book?

I'm contemplating moving to another email application. Am rapidly heading towards critical mass on things driving me nuts about mail.
Do any other email programs let you use OSX's address book?
OR
Do any other email programs let you sync their address book/contacts with a mobile phone?
I really don't want to have to keep two separate lists of contacts up to date.

I recommend Gyazmail out of the mentioned alternatives that can use the OS X Address Book. I've tried and tried to like Mail, and it definitely has some pluses with the add-ons but it just doesn't cut it in the end. Maybe one day Apple will read people's recommendations for Mail and actually implement them.
best features of Gyazmail:
- outgoing rules
- uses SpamSieve
- uses the OS X address book
Other Niceities:
- recognizes Nicknames from the Address Book (unlike Mail)
- has almost never crashed on me in years
- very customizable look
