Changing the shared address book name.
I am sharing my addressbook through .mac to serveral other .mac users in the office. When they subscribe to it is shown as "Homer Simpson" (name changed to protect the guilty). I want to change that name to "Office Address Book". I tried change "MyCard" to read accordingly in Address Book but that wasn't it.
Where is the shared address book name getting pulled from?
Thanks All!!!
When I select print for an individual contact or for all contacts, I have an Attributes section to select which attributes to include with the printing for each contact that includes the following:
Phone
Email
Address
Instant Messenger
Photo
Job Title
Department
Company
Nickname
Mainden Name
Phoenetic Name
Names
Birthday
Date
Note

How do I change the default address book from the Personal Address Book?
Whenever I click on an email address from within an email and ask to add it to my address book, the contact is added to Personal Address Book. How do I change that so that new addresses will be added to another book?
I do not know of a way to change the default but after you click the star beside the address to add it to the address book, click the star a second time to open the edit dialog box. There is a drop down list of your address books to make the change there.

Adding an Address Book card from a shared address book to a Group
I have an Address Book Sharing Question/Problem. With the .Mac Family Pack, I have multiple .Mac Accounts. I have set up Address Book to share addresses from the individual .Mac accounts and set each to be able to edit the shared addresses. Initially, I was hoping that these would appear in each users Address Book and sync all changes, instead of just appearing as a shared Address Book below the users Address Book. But that does not appear to be the case.
However, my question/problem is that I want to be able to add a card from a shared Address Book (for example from my wife’s Address Book) into a current group in my Address Book (say a family member group). I can drag the card in, but the information is apparently copied as a new card into my Address Book and changes I make are no longer synced with the shared Address Book (my Wife’s Address Book). Is this working correctly? (I know .Mac has been acting up in the last few weeks) If so, there does not appear to be much value in say sharing family, doctor, and friends info from my wife’s address book, as I can not create my own groups or if I do, our contact info is no longer synced. The new cards I copy in are also not visible to the shared Address Book, so we will also have no way of seeing that a card has been changed. Is there anyway to truly share a card or group of contacts between users of separate .Mac accounts so that the contacts can be separated into different groups for each user and card info / changes will remain synced? If this is already supposed to be occurring, any ideas as to a fix?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)Also, if I drag an entire group from a shared Address Book to my Address Book, it is copied in a blue color, making me think "Cool! It is different from a group that I create (which are white), so it must be shared!" But it is not. Changes to cards in this "copied" group are not synced to the original shared Address Book. So, what does the blue color mean?

I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?
You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have. To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them). You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another. You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well. -
Sharing certain groups in address book rather than the whole address book
Hi
I haven't got server yet in our office but we are looking to do this. Currently we just share calendars and other bits and pieces but I'm looking to get server in place. Sharing the address book requires giving a user our iCloud password and letting them look at the address book as a whole. We really only want to share certain phone numbers like our company staff phone numbers rather than our financial clients and other sensitive contacts.
Is it possible to only allow a "user" to access certain, or 1 group in address book rather than the whole address book library itself by using osx server
Many thanksHi Jaime,
I just wanted to jump in here with a quick question... on Mac OS X Server my understanding was that with the open directory, you can't designate organizational groups for the ldap service. Without that ability, how are you limiting what ldap users can see?
In our setup, our LDAP settings would be similar to
cn=users,dc=example,dc=com
What format would you use to say show only members of the group "examplegroup"?
Thanks! -
Hi, I'm trying to order a photo album through IPhoto, my billing address is in the UK but I'd like the book to be sent to an address in the US. Step 3 says enter shipping address, I go to enter new address and the only country it offers is the UK, I cant change the shipping address to US.
Go to File / Provide Feedback and tell Apple that you want this enhancement in their product.

Why Mail displays the name and address instead of address book name?
File under the category of unanswered miscellaneous quirks by a new Mail user (the old posts were archived/locked)....
I have found that by eliminating any spaces in FIRST name field, the Address Book name appears w/ blue losenge (w/o the e-mail address).
I had many of these entries due to an incorrect import from Entourage that concatenated first name & MI with a proper space between.

I want to change the email address to which all the reset security information (emails) go to. But I cannot see that email address in the list when I click on the 'Name, ID and Email Addresses' section.
How can I change it when I cannot view it on my account. I am not even sure how this got setup.If you mean your rescue email address, it's in the Passwords and Security section, after you answer the two security questions.

Setting Up a Shared Address Book
Hello, and thank you for taking a look at my question.
I concur with the many people on this forum who are amazed how frustratingly difficult it is to setup a shared Address Book. I have a small office network of 4 users (all running the latest Snow Leopard) connected to a Mac Pro running the most current Snow Leopard Server.
This forum did lead me to 2 good articles on the subject:
http://osxupgrade.com/create-a-global-address-book-with-mac-os-x-snow-leopard-se rver/456/
http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf= 1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsupport.osxplain.de%2Fcontent%2F4%2F1%2Fde%2Fgruppenkontakte.ht ml&sl=de&tl=en
I followed them carefully and created my new Group in Workgroup Manager which I then populated with the users in my office.
I then tried to configure Address Book at the client's iMac. I couldn't get Address Book to 'see' the server.
There are 2 areas I may have got wrong and I would be very grateful for some advice/guidance please:
On the client Mac, how can I check the fully qualified address of my server to ensure I am entering the correct address in the Address Book Wizard when creating the new account (can I not use the static IP address of the server)?
On the server, I have created, and started, the Address Book Server service. What should I enter in the Authentication > Host Name please? The manual says "It should be a fully qualified domain name matched with a reverse lookup record". How can I check I have got this correct?
Sorry for the obvious questions but it's all new to me.
Many thanks
ChrisOn the client Mac, how can I check the fully qualified address of my server to ensure I am entering the correct address in the >Address Book Wizard when creating the new account (can I not use the static IP address of the server)?
Open the Terminal window on your client Mac and type *dig [name of your server]* and check that it returns the IP address of your server. Then type *dig -x [ip address of your server] and check it returns the name of your server e.g. server.domain.com
This will show you what your client Mac thinks you server is.
Do the same on the server and it should match. If not then you may have a problem. Here is an example.

In the above example - you would put server.bumfodder.com -
When I send an email my contacts are changed in my Address Book on both my Mac and iPhone4.
All my contacts are entered only in the first name space. ie John Smith is entered as John Smith in just the first name entry space - I don't use the last name space at all. When I send an email, that person's address gets changed immediately my address book which duplicates the first name into the last name space. I have tried deleting all my contacts and resynching them from my iPhone but the problem persists. Can anyone help me fix this?
I am running an iMac with Lion and my mail client is Mail. My ISP is gmail.Blair84 wrote:
Double check your contacts email, and if its incorrect, go to their contact and change it and save it or you can delete the email you put in, and manually type it in.
Hope this helps.
How would that help the original poster? -
Address book names are now sorted by first name.
After installing Snow Leopard my mail it is now sorted alphabetically by the first name, not the last. How do I change it back?
I just talked to an Apple Product Specialist about the change in Address Book searching with Snow Leopard. Here is where it stands right now:
In all previous versions of Address Book, the user could simply type 'T' to instantly go to contacts with last names that start with 'T' (and businesses that start with 'T').
In Snow Leopard, Address Book can no longer search with one letter the way it did before; it uses a 'Spotlight' type of search where the user must type the full name in order to get an exact match. This type of searching is useful for finding documents on the Mac or searching the Internet, but is totally inefficient for finding contacts in Address Book.
It sounds like someone at Apple decided this was a better way to search for contacts, because this change in search method is described in the new Address Book 'Help' file; it says, "As you type, Address Book begins to search all the information on the cards, including notes, and displays matching contacts, with the matching text highlighted in each card." For example, let's say someone used to type 'T' to search for a contact named Bill Tilman. Now what happens is that Address Book stops at the first person who's first name starts with 'T', and highlights all the T's in the person's card (the T in 'telephone', the T in 'Street', etc. The user must now scroll through all their contacts manually to find Bill Tilman, or else manually type out the complete name 'Bill Tilman'. (If they just type 'Bill', they will only get the first person named Bill.)
I hope Apple will reconsider and will allow Address Book to do the quick one-letter searches by last name (as opposed to 'Sort' by last name, which it still has) like it used to. (Or at least make this a choice in Address Book Preferences.) This would also be more compatible with the way iPhone searches for contacts; when you select a letter in the iPhone's contacts, it finds contacts who's last name starts with that letter, as well as businesses, just like Address Book always used to. -
I need to change the "from" address (the "add to addressbook" address) in the first line of emails that I send so that people reply to my email alias not the address where my emails originate. How do I do this?
So you have added a new 'Identity' to your existing email address.
If someone sends an email using that 'other identity'
you have a choice of where those received emails can go. they can be received into the original mail account, like a collect all in the one Inbox or perhaps sent to Local Folders, so you can see them as separate. Or you can filter on that identity to put those emails in a specific folder.
When you REply to any incoming mail that has used that new identity email address, it will use the new identity in the Email address in FROM assuming the received email in the main mail account of which the new identity email is applied.
This should also now offer the added identity email address as an option in the FROM drop down list. So you can easily swap when sending an email if required.
If you want to send using your default email address to people, but want their reply to use the identity email address:
Tools > Account Settings
select the original email address mail account name
Where it says: 'Reply to addresses: enter the reply to identity email address.
click on OK
This means when they click on 'Reply' it will auto insert the Reply-to option.
This will work providing it is a 'Reply' to an email you sent which contains the Reply-to email address.
If someone is not actually replying by using the Reply-to new identity email address:
In other words they are sending you a new email using the original email address because perhaps that is the one in their address book or the one they located on a webpage etc.
Then, when you select to Reply to that email, it will use the email address to which it was sent to in the FROM field - the original email address. Hence why you would need to select the new identity FROM in the drop down list.
One way to get around this is set out below.
If you do not use an identity - instead you create another existing mail account for the 'identity' email address, so you have two mail accounts for the two email addresses.
You can move selected emails manually or perhaps using a filter to screen them from the original mail account into the newly created mail account.
Then when you click on Reply, it will use the new mail account email address instead of the original email address.
