Dialing phone numbers with modem from Address Book

I am just switching from PCs to Mac and am wondering if there Is any way to dial a phone number in the address book using the computers modem. I am sorely missing that feature and am sure that mac must have some way to do it.

1. Go to http://www.macupdate.com/.
2. Type "dialer" (without the quotes) in the search box.
3. Enjoy.

  • Do mail merge with group from address book or other file?

    Is there a way to have Mail do a merge with a spreadsheet, a Filemaker file or the Address Book ( a group) so that every email looks personalized? Dear <name>,
    blah, blah, blah
    I need to send out an email to about 150 faculty and staff. Messages sent to a list often get ignored or deleted unread. I need these to be read.
    Thx

    What is the exact message you get when sending fails -- does it say there are one or more invalid addresses, or what?
    Having a name in the list without email address or possibly one separated by comma between last and first might result similarly in an invalid address, and Mail will likely refuse to send to any. But if the message is from the SMTP, that might depend on the provider's policies for that.

  • Problem with Groups from Address Book in Apple Mail

    I have set up a group in my address book. When I use Apple Mail I use this group to send specific messages to. But for some reason I keep getting error messages saying that my outgoing sever encountered a problem with the messgae. It only happens when I send messages with a group, not if I send messages to single recipients. The group consists of 90 emails, so I can't enter their emails each time I want to send a message to the group.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards

    I am having a similar problem. All the addresses are correct, and I know this because I use them all the time with no errors. BUT when bundled into a group - actually any group I set up I cannot send successfully. I have two groups in my mail program and neither will work.

  • What determines the order in which phone numbers are displayed in address book/contacts on Mac and iPad/iPhone?

    I may have "Work, Home, Skype, Work Fax" (for example) order in Adress Book on my Mac, but there is no gurantee, apparently, that this order will be preserved across entries on my iPad and iPhone.  In some entries I might get "Home, Work, Skype, Work Fax" while others might have "Work, Skype, Home, Work Fax".  Even with just Work and Home, the ordering is not consistent.  Can I force a specific order?

    Having the same problem.  Have iPad and iPhone, both running ios5, both sync to the cloud, and data entered on one soon shows up like magic on the other.  But Lion MacBook Pro refuses to join in the dance.  Contacts and calendar entries on the mbp don't show up in either the ipad or iphone.  I have the same account login info setup on all three devices, and as much as I can tell, preferences set up correctly.  Oddly enough, when I am in the mbp cloud preference pane, and click on the ? for help, it tells me it can't give me help because it is not connected to the internet.  Well, it clearly IS connected to the internet.  Don't know if that is related to the non-syncing or not, but it is a little strange.  A little bit of operating manual for cloud would be helpful.

  • Call from address book

    Hi, everyone.
    I am developing some bb application which needs to catch and handle the number user called. When I tried to make a international call with "011" in front of the country code and number from address book(I saved the thole sequence as an entry in address book), I found the number I actually called was without "011" and the call can't get through. But it works if I call by manually dialling or from call log. Could anyone tell me what is the difference with calling from address book? Why bb removed "011" in front? Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi, you need to setup the device phone number, go to menu, phone (pressing the green key), press menu again, options, smart dialing

  • Add Attendees (name AND phone no.) from Address Book to iCal for iPhone use

    Hello scripting gurus and newbs alike.
    I've looked through the forums, but can't find a COMPLETE solution to what I believe should be a fairly straightforward problem. I'll start by asking the question as concisely as I can, then bring in more information about what I have tried, and learned, so far. I'll also outline my broad (mini) project aims at the end, in case anyone is interested.
    * Q: How can I add attendees, from my Address Book, to an iCal event, so that **ALL** the attendee details are included?
    Note: It is VITAL to me that attendees' phone number(s) are available through iCal, not just {display name, email, participation status}. This is because I want MobileMe to synch the event with my iPhone, so I can call attendees directly from iCal. (or at least have iCal open the attendee's Contacts record so I can call from there!)
    WHY DO I THINK IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE?
    Manually, I can simply dbl-click on the event, click into the attendees field, start typing the attendee name, and hit enter. When I do this, it works. MobileMe synchs it to the iPhone, I open iCal, select the event, tap the attendee, and I'm calling.
    WHAT I'VE TRIED USING APPLESCRIPT
    When I try the following script, I've only managed to set Sheila's name/email/participation status. I can retrieve her phone number from Address Book using the above approach, but unsure how to make it stick in iCal * such that I am able to use it to call directly from iCal on the iPhone *
    ++++++++++++++++++++++
    tell application "Address Book"
    set anAttendee to name of (first person whose name contains "Sheila")
    end tell
    tell application "iCal"
    set newEvent to make new event at end with properties ¬
    {summary:"Meeting Info.", location:"ZIP", description:"More yak", start date:SD, end date:SD + 120 * minutes}
    make new attendee at end of attendees of newEvent with properties {display name:anAttendee}
    end tell
    ++++++++++++++++++++++
    WHERE I'VE LOOKED FOR SIMILAR EXAMPLES
    Thanks to Rob (et al) for providing script examples used to create the above, see here: http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=5692
    I've also looked at the following article, which makes me think I somehow need to use the PERSON ID in the event attendee list. Unfortunately, I have only managed to retrieve the ID, but had no joy trying to set it.
    http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech … index.html
    THE PROJECT
    I'm a surveyor, and using dialog(s) to enter relevant info., I'm looking to streamline my preparation for surveys when I make each new appointment.
    My mini-project presently enables me to print survey forms (based on a Pages template) with details relating to the specific property (address/contact name&no./appointment date&time etc.) It also uses the appointment date&time to create the appropriate event in iCal.
    I'm also confident I can add the contact details, such as agent/owner name(s) and phone number(s) in Address Book.
    IF I COULD ONLY ADD THESE AS ATTENDEE(S), AS IF ADDED MANUALLY, I WOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO PHONE THE PROPERTY OWNERS WITH A COURTEOUS REMINDER WHEN I'M ON THE WAY!!
    Can anyone help me achieve this?
    Here's hoping.
    Phil (wiimixer)

    Phil
    Referencing the attendee in iCal will only directly record the properties you mention - because that's how it's designed to work and there's no way around the restriction unless iCal is changed.
    You could set the phone number elsewhere in the iCal event - e.g. notes, location, ... - and that would probably allow you to call from iCal (I don't have an iPhone so I can't be sure), but I am not sure I see the advantage over using the link to iPhone's Address Book which is set up by adding an attendee to the event. This might be because I am being dense, so if this is the case please elaborate.
    EDIT:
    I have read your original post in more detail since I wrote the above. It seems to me that you are saying that when you add the person to the iCal event via AppleScript that you do not get the link to the iPhone's Address Book when you sync via MobileMe. You imply, however, that it does work when you type the name manually. Are these both correct statements?

  • Creating a drop down to add customer address from Address book in numbers 0

    Hi fellow Mac people,
    I have a numbers invoice created and want to be able to add my customers addresses from address book using a drop down menu or just have it retrieve the info from address book
    Anyone know how to do this
    Any help would be great
    Thanks
    Rob

    You can drag an entry from the address book into a table in a Numbers document. Numbers does not have a way to do add contact information via a drop down menu. The table you drag the contact(s) into should have column headings for each item you want (name, address, phone, etc) as explained in the User's Manual.
    What you could do is create a table for all of your customer contact information. Every customer would be in the table. You could use then one of the LOOKUP functions or a popup menu to chose a particular contact from the table and transfer it to where you want it (such as on an invoice or an estimate or whatever other tables you have in your document).

  • Dialing from address book

    when dialing using phone number recorded into mi address book the prefix is changed by the device, example:
    recorded number +39061122334455
    dialed number +3961122334455 (without 0)
    how to solve the problem ?
    thanks

    1. Make sure you set your own country code at Phone Dialer Screen > Options > Smart dialing.
    Set your country code in this format: "+xx" where xx = your country code. Some countries have two or three digit Country Codes. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
        * In the US, set this Country Code as "+1", and place your loca area code in the proper box (this normally the default setting in a new BB). 
    2. At the same location, change the National Number Length to the number of digits for your country (since some countries will have less than 10 as set as the default in the BB). Find out the total digits, minus the country code. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
        * For example, some countries have a total number to 8 (plus 3 for country code). You would enter "8". 
    3. You may have "Content Protection" set on your Address Book.
    Look at Options > Security > General Settings. Scroll down to Content Protection > Include Address Book = NO.

  • Wrong Number is dialed from Address Book

    Hi all,
    i have the following problem on my BBerry pearl 8100:
    I have various international numbers saved in the Address Book and they all get dialed wrong (one zero is removed) from Address Book. For example: 003906505152 is the correct number, but dialing from Address Book will get 00396505152 dialed.
    Anyone has ideas? Basically I cannot use the Address Book for itnernational numbers because it is useless.
    Thanks a lot!

    Try setting your options at Call Log > Menu > Smart Dialing correctly. That is usually the source of most international dialing issues.

  • Lion iCal with Google caldav unable to add invitees from address book

    Dear Support,
    I am using google calendar as my cal server  (caldav).
    I used to be able to add invitees using address book into the event in Snow. But in Lion, iCal rejecting drag and drop from address book to the event. The mouse turned into a stop sign.
    This is a show stopper,  is there work around ? Is there plan to fix this ?
    Why are named got rejected ? This is a simple basic feature. Is there plan to fix this ?
    Also in iCal, I cant seem to delete google calender event. I've seen several complaint also, is this fixed with a patch ?
    Apple support, please help.

    Hello ac9000 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    If you were to create a contact in your BlackBerry, does it sync to your Mac Address Boook?
    In your BlackBerry Address Book if you go to Menu>Options, under Contact lists do you have an email account listed? If so, if you click into it, does this list sync wirelessley to this email account?
    As for your Calendar, if you open your iCal do you have any calendars listed?
    If you create a new Calendar and make a test entry, does this new Calendar sync to your device? If you create a Calendar appointment on your BlackBerry, does it sync to your iCal?

  • Lost contacts from address book with update

    lost contacts from address book with update to OSX 9.3  How do I get them out of cloud back into address book?

    When you log into iCloud with your browser, do you see your contacts online?
    If yes, go to System Preferences > iCloud > toggle sync contacts on/off.
    You might need to run the combo installer.
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 (Update (Combo)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1746
    MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
    Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
    Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.8.4 install from a regular update, just run the 10.8.4 Combo Updater on that system.
    "Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. If somehow the 10.9.2 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 it will still be stale after the delta update.

  • Printing multiple envelopes from address book with Lion

    I am having trouble getting envelopes to print properly from Address Book in Lion.  I have specified size #10 envelopes.  When I print them, the text printed on successive envelopes moves further and further down the page until the address drops off of one envelope and is then printed at the top of the next envelope.  If I print to PDF, I see the same behavior.  I have an HP Photosmart Premium printer.  I didn't have this problem before I upgraded to Lion, and all my settings are the same as they were prior to the upgrade.  I have seen that other users have the same problem on the forums, but there isn't a clear cut answer to how to solve the problem anywhere.  I also tried using the easy envelopes widget, and I still have the creeping further down the envelope problem.  HELP!!!

    It seems to be a bug in Lion. Try the solutions provided in other disucssions about changing print size and orientation. Create a custom size and save it. You should be able to test it by printing to pdf first to check it. That way you won't have to waste paper.

  • Contact disappeared from iPhone but not deleted from Address Book on sync

    FYI, I have an iPhone 3G running iOS 4.2 (the latest), and I have never so much as thought about MobileMe.
    Until two days ago, I have had no reason to doubt that my iPhone's Contact list is the same as my MacBook's Address Book list. I now have no confidence that the same info. exists in both: I know for sure that at least one contact long present in both has disappeared from the iPhone, yet syncing all contacts neither returns it to the iPhone nor deletes it from Address Book! I need help troubleshooting this contact as well as verifying that there aren't other similar anomalies corrupting my data, hopefully without manually comparing all 685 entries...
    Two days ago, a certain number, let's call it (310) 555-5555, popped up in my recents list as a missed call and in my visual voicemail. When I listened to the voicemail, I discovered that (310) 555-5555 was Jane Smith. I remembered entering Jane Smith several months ago, so I thought hmmm, does she have a second number? I tried to add (310) 555-5555 to an existing entry, only to find my iPhone had no entry for Jane Smith anymore at all! I did not delete her myself, and I'm not aware of any 3rd-party app that ought to have affected the entry. I haven't called Jane Smith or (310) 555-5555 in quite some time, so I have no idea how long the entry may have been missing. I searched the whole phone (left of the first home screen)
    At the next opportunity, I looked in Address Book on my laptop, and indeed found the expected entry for Jane Smith, (310) 555-5555. I have no idea how she disappeared from my iPhone -- did I or some third-party program delete her? Or did it happen through some sync issue? -- but I naturally worried that when I next synced, the deletion would sync, too, and I would lose the Address Book entry, leaving me without Jane Smith's number at all.
    Such an event would defeat the entire purpose of backing up my phone contacts to my computer; I just moved to iPhone this spring after being a Palm user since 1997, and the idea that iPhone might not be reliably syncing my contacts is frankly terrifying. I checked and saw that my Address Book listed 685 contacts to iPhone Contacts's 684, so I decided to risk a sync in hopes that maybe I had caused a one-off deletion. I wrote down Jane Smith (310) 555-5555 just in case and hit sync.
    The results of the sync and my subsequent troubleshooting have seriously undermined my confidence in the fidelity of the sync process. The first time, nothing changed--I still had 684 iPhone, no Jane Smith, and 685 Address Book, including Jane Smith.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Before conecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Now connect your phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar click on its name.  Go to the Info tab and confirm than your have checked Sync Contacts with Address Book.  Now further down on the Info tab under Advanced>Replace information on this iPhone check Contacts.  Click Apply and sync your phone.  This will replace the contacts on your phone with the contacts in Address Book.  (When complete you can go back to iTunes preferences and uncheck "Prevent..." to re-establish automatic syncing if your prefer this.)

  • Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly.  Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync.  Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

    Solutions?

    No, I never really found an easy solution.  I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device.  In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs.  A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup.  It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad.  But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost.  When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might.  If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
    None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it.  I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
    Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

  • How do I share a contact from Address Book via email?

    I am trying to send email address details in a Mailing list from my Address Book to a colleague. I have tried going to Attachment option but doesn't include option to attach from Address Book. Also tried copying so that I can paste into the body of the email without success. How can I share these contact details please?
    Thanks

    What does your correspondent need or want?
    One well established standard for exchanging contact information is the vCard which encapsulates many of the commonly used fields in a Contact entry.
    If a vCard suits you and your correspondent, this add-on:
    https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html
    has a nifty feature for sending vCards as attachments. Then your correspondent can probably just add it to his address book. If you copy out single details, like name, address, email address phone no, then the other person has to insert each one into his address book by hand.
    If you open the Mailing List in your Address Book, you can probably drag each item out into the body of a new email message. But that's more work than necessary for you and for the recipient, who will need to add each one manually to his address book.
    With this add-on, you should be able to open the Mailing List by selecting it in the Address Book, then use ctrl+a to select all, then right-click and select "Send as vCard"; it will open a new message with all the selected Contacts attached.
    Lists in general don't have a standard presentation, so a List in one email client is only rarely useful in another. If you both use Thunderbird, you could use this add-on to export the List to a .tha or .thm file which another Thunderbird user could import.
