Can't input birthday previous to 2000 in address book

The birthday field in address book won't let me input a date older than the year 2000.  I assume there's a way to change that but didn't find anything in the preferences menu. Can somebody help me?
Thank you!

It's probably that one of the addresses in the group is not correct e.g. something like myaddress&myisp.com instead of [email protected]

  • Can we use two icloud accounts in the address book app in Lion?

    The answer is yes because we are doing it for months in our business. This way we can share our business address book between our 3 Mac and iphone and ipad and still have our private address books on all those devices without sharing them. It seems however that the app Address book cannot understand the situation. When I select my business card in my address book and say that it is "my business card" it appears the same on my colleagues' computer. they have then me instead of them as their business card and when they open their session on their computer I'm there! It seems that iCloud hasn't been thought for the purpose of sharing address books. Can we have a business icloud that doesn't stick to one persone? Or can we have several "me" in an icloud address book? Is there any other way to share parts of an address book without sharing it entirely? We'd like that it works like in ICal.

    Currently, we don't have a Volume license. Basically what we need to achieve is a number of macs to have the same information particularly calendars, reminders, numbers file, and contact informations from one cloud. Without my manager's own icloud conflicting with his files or the public icloud.

  • How can I stop iCloud from uploading my iCal & Address Book: Help!

    How can I delete my iCal and Address Book from the cloud and stop iCloud from mirroring them in the cloud.

    Have him delete your account from his phone. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and tap delete).

  • How can I send someone a 'list' from my address book?

    I see that you can't from one of the previous answers. So I tried to 'export' the 'list'. I don't see how you can do that. If I highlite the list, it exports the entire address book (1600+0 items and I can't edit that down to my 40 member list. So what else can I do?

    Try this add-on: https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html
    According to its author's webpage:
    ''- gives the possibility to import and export a single contact or a list;''
    And this very evening I have used it myself to export an address book whilst investigating a query about sending to multiple addresses. The add-on let me export a Mailing List so I could create a file containing a list of valid email addresses.

  • I can not get imac w/Snow Leopard's address book to sync with ipad 1correctly? I only get about half the contacts?

    I have tried repeatedly to get my address book on my imac w/ snow leopard to sync to my ipad 1 correctly and have failed every time. I only get about 1/3 the number of contacts and they don't all even correlate with the ones on the imac. Like one will have full middle name and the other only the initial. I don't know where itunes is getting these contacts but doesn't match those in my address book. I keep telling itunes to replace the contacts on the ipad with those on my mac but it doesnt work. Can't do it with icloud cause snow leopard doesn't support, it still wants to use the non existant mobile me format. Hope someone can help. I added the all amnually once before but they screwed up when I sync each time.

    Thanks for your response Ernie. You are correct in that whenever you type a series of letters, Address Book (as it always has) finds every single thing with that combination of letters - Names, businesses, adjectives, people's dogs' names, letters in product serial numbers, etc. This is useful for finding a subject on the Web, or finding all documents related to 'iPhoto' on your Mac, etc., but not useful, quick or convenient when trying to find one person to call in your Address Book (which is what people use Address Book for).
    What is DIFFERENT in the Snow Leopard version, is that the ability to type one letter to instantly go to last names with that letter has been removed. Previously, you could easily find 'Bill Tilman' in one second by simply typing 'T'. Now you get every word that starts with T and all the words in the card that have a T in them. If you type out a full name like 'Bill', it finds every person named Bill. No one would ever want to find all their contacts named Bill to call them. You could type out the full last name 'Tilman', but there again you are forced to type out a complete name to do a search. It would actually be quicker to scroll down and find it manually. The ability to type a single letter to find the last name (or business name) of a contact you needed to call, was much quicker and easier than having to type out the entire name.

  • Can anyone make labels with Pages and merging Address Book?

    I want to make labels from Address Book that includes the name, Company, and address. Because Address Book makes you select Name or Company, the labels will only come out with one or the other, not both. Is there a template in Pages that imports both Name and Company? Surely, I am not the only person who wants to make mailing labels that includes both the name of the person and the Company. I don't see it in the tutorial and Apple Care indicated that it couldn't be done (but I think I was sent to the wrong person) Huh? No label possible with a name and company both!

    I persevered with this. I don't think you can really print both the name and the company in Pages which is a big deficiency in a nice program but you can in Address Book. Change all your contacts so the name is the default rather than the company. Select Print in Address Books, go to labels or envelopes, and check the box that says "print company". I wish his had been put in writing somewhere. I wasted a great deal of time inputting the same information into QuickBooks so I could print out labels to about 40 customers.

  • How can I migrate my group lists with my address book?

    I have moved from Windows XP to Ubuntu (YEAH!). I was using TB in XP and I was able to successfully move my address book with all of my contacts' information by copying and pasting the abook.mab file. But I seem to have lost (or at least I am currently missing) the group lists that I had created using that address book. Where is that information stored and how do I transfer it to TB in Ubuntu? Is it as simple as copying another certain file or will I have to extract and then import some information from some file(s)? Those group lists were almost as important as the address book itself and I made the assumption (yes, I know!) that the group list info was integral to the address book itself. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

    No, I did not export and then import the address book. I just copied the .mab file. Is that what I have to do? Is there another file, or portion thereof, that I can just copy across? I have all those #appdata# files saved, but i do not have Windows running anymore. I have also now noticed that my "Collected Addresses" were not contained in the abook.mab file either. It would be good if I could recover them too.
    Thanks again for any help. Much appreciated!

  • How can I delete an email not in my address book but remembered by Mail?

    If I type the name of a friend eg "Sam" into the address line, I expect it to pull the "Sam" from my address book. But mail remembers emails for "Sam" that I don't want to use, in its history. Can I delete them one by one, or all at once?

  • How can I point my iPhones to a specific address book for syncing?

    I only want contacts on my iPhones that have phone numbers and not email addresses.
    After creating a iPhone address book, how do I point iTunes to that book instead of the regular Contacts book?
    Have been able to do that in the past, but cannot do so running OSX 10.8 or 10.8.2.

    You'll have to use Wi-Fi to sync, Bluetooth is not supported:
    You can use iPhone with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and other Bluetooth devices, such as Bluetooth headsets, car kits, and stereo headphones. Third-party Bluetooth headphones may support volume and playback controls. See the documentation that came with your Bluetooth device. For supported Bluetooth profiles, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
    From the manual: iphone_user_guide 5 page 109
    Use iCloud to keep Contacts up to date on your iOS devices and computers
    Go to Settings > iCloud, then turn on Contacts. See “iCloud” on page 17.

  • How can I export Outlook 2007 contacts to Leopard Address Book application?

    Hi,
    I just bought a MAC and I want to get rid of my PC, but first i want to export my CONTACTS from my Windows MS Outlook 2007 and import them in Leopard Address Book application.
    Any way I can do that ?
    Many thanks !

    I don't know if doing it with single vcards is the way you want to have it. This can be a quite big task when having many contacts.
    In Outlook You can export them as text file. You got to +File - Import and Export+. In the assistent you choose "Export to file". Then you choose "comma seperated (Windows)" In the next step you mark your Contacts folder. Then you choose where you want to save your output file. (I mountet my Documents folder on the mac and saved it there). Finish this assistent.
    Now on the mac you open AdressBook. +File - Import - text+ file and choose then your .csv file. Now in the AdressBook a import window opens where you can set all the fields matching to where Outlook stored the information. But basicly it should work without doing there something. Then you can import all Your Outlook contacts in one run.
    Hope this helps You!
