Can I script the 'Make This My Card' option of AddressBook

I would like to be able to select my card and then the 'Card-menu -> Make This My Card' menu-option from within a script, so that I can make sure 'My Card' is always properly defined.
I have tried Automator and AppleScript, but so far I did not find a way to accomplish this.
Anybody out ther that can help me?
Kind regards,
Adam.

What problem are you having with the definition of your card?
Anyway, play with this script and see if you can make it do what you want.

set stuff to the selection
set my card to item 1 of stuff
end tell</pre>

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Make This My Card

My husband and I both use MacBooks. He also owns an iPad. We have been using the same MobileMe account for years. Since transfering to iCloud, however, we can no longer maintain separate identities. When he sets his card in Address Book by selecting "Make This My Card," syncing changes my Address Book so that his card reads "Me" on my computer. This affects numerous applications on our separate devices and confuses us no end. Anyone have any ideas on what to do?

I've solved my problem and I think I know what solved it. I read an old discussion (2005, I think) about iChat and the suggestion was to delete my card and reenter it. I did that and everything seems fine. Try that. Good luck.

My hp dm3-3027cl card reader can not recognize the class 10 sdhc card

My hp dm3-3027cl card reader can not recognize the class 10 sdhc card. I downloaded and installed the card reader driver from HP web site for this dm3-3027cl, but still have same problem. There isn't a problem on class 6 SDHC card. It seems some other computers have the same problem on reading the class 10 SDHC card. My toshiba e105 laptop has no probblem to read class 10 SDHC card.

Hello snowman90024 and welcome to community,
Kindly install the USB and card reader driver then install cardreader driver and USB driver
Please let us know about the status after this.

What is "Make this my card" Contacts name selection for?

"Make this my card" adds the legend "Me" against a selected Contacts name. This pegs the name as the sender of emails from a particular computer. I have several Apple devices on my in-house wifi, all having "Contacts" on iCloud. When I select a card, for example on my MacBook Pro, and set my name in "Contacts" to "Make this my card" all my emails, from multiple shared addresses, are sent from my name. Great! Unfortunately, iCloud changes every other devices' "Make this my card" selection to my name as well! This causes emails originated on other devices to be sent in my name! Help.

I've solved my problem and I think I know what solved it. I read an old discussion (2005, I think) about iChat and the suggestion was to delete my card and reenter it. I did that and everything seems fine. Try that. Good luck.

Make This My Card Not Working

When I send an iCal appointment via email, the listing always begins (null) followed by the appointment, which means that my name isn't being picked up as the originator of the message. I selected my card in my address book, went to Card and both "Make This My Card" and "Go to My Card" are greyed out, not allowing me to select them. I then went into address book to preferences and checked Vcard/enable private me card and then unchecked it; in both cases it didn't solve the problem. I cannot find anything in the help files.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Steve

Well, I have four accounts in my mail.app, but I tried this with only one. If I am in another card, the "Go to My Card" is functional, and I indeed go to my card. So the Address Book seems to recognize the card as my card (and thanks! for getting me over that particular logical hump). This issue then seems to be the assignment of the card between iCal and the Address Book. I couldn't find anything in the iCal preferences, etc. that would allow me to either assignment myself as the owner of the calendar or link to the vCard in the Address Book.

Bring your phone to Apple for evaluation and replacement. It's broken. There's no magic we can provide you.

I can't find the "authorize this computer" on the itunes store

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

i have a itunes gift card how can i find the balance on my card?

If the value of the card isn't printed on it and you don't have the purchase receipt, the only way to determine the value of the card is by redeeming it. If you have already redeemed it, then the card is now valueless. The credit balance is carried in your iTunes Store account and will be displayed in iTunes next to your Apple ID when you're signed into the iTunes Store, or on an iOS device at the bottom of the screen in the App Store or iTunes Store apps.

HT1420 I can't find the "authorized this computer" on the iTunes store menu. Can anyone tell me where to look for it? It doesn't seem to be in the topics across the top of the home page. Thanks.

I am trying to authorize a computer. But I can't locate the"authorized this computer" on the iTunes store menu. I can't find it under any topics across the menu bar at the top of the page. Can anyone help me find it? Thanks.

It should be on the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes (if you are using iTunes 11 on a PC then try pressing Alt-S and see if it appears) e.g. (screenshot is from iTunes on a Mac)

You're looking in the wrong place. You need to look under the Store menu in iTunes. If you have iTunes 11 on a Windows system which has the menus hidden by default for some unexplainable reason, press Control-B.
