Does Address Book Save The Pictures Used In A Contact Card

I added an image to a contact card, and was wondering if the file must stay on my hard drive for it to show in Address Book.

The original image needn't be kept. Address Book keeps its images in (user)/Library/Application Support/Address Book/Images.

  • Drag and dropping an address from address book to the desktop, the address file does not go where my mouse is positioned.

    If I drag and drop an address from address book to the desktop, the address file does not go where my mouse is positioned. It winds up somewhere in the middle of my screen. Any way to have the address file land and stay where my mouse pointer is?

    You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
    You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
    Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

  • Address books. I am using one titled Mac O/S, but when I save a contact it goes into personal address book instead. Use O/s address books checked in menu. Thank

    I would like to use only one address book. When I star a contact, the address goes to the personal address book, despite the OS address book being specified in the menu. How can I transfer a name from the personal address book to the OS inbox. Can I delete the personal address book? Or transfer the contacts, then eliminate the OS address book? Many thanks. New user.

    Personal and Collected address books are the default books and cannot be removed.
    You can select all the contacts in the MAC book and move them to the personal book.
    Select one contact in the MAC book. Press control+a to select all. Drag them to the personal book and drop them there.
    You can click the star a second time when adding a contact to open the edit dialog box and select a different address book from the drop down list.

  • Multiple address books on the same computer: How to

    Hi!
    I'll get in the near future my wife's iPhone 3G (unless she keeps it and take her 3GS instead) - but want want to be 100% sure we can have separate address books on the same computer. The question is simple: how do we go about that?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi!
    If it's just the address book that should be different: in iTunes, you can specify for each device what it should sync. For your contacts, you can specify in iTunes which contact groups to sync (at least on my Mac using Address Book I can).
    Does this mean I need to create separate contact groups in the same address book file or can I create a second file? I'd much rather use the second solution. The first solution would in fact mean creating three groups: "His", "Hers" and "Both". This is a shotcut for contact management nightmares!
    Thanks in advance,
    Claude

  • Contact photos are not showing up in Mail message list, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it.

    I'm using Mail 5.3 and Address Book 6.1.3 on X 10.7.5. I want my contact photos to show up in the message list on Mail, but only some of them do, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it. I've even tried replacing a photo that doesn't show up with a photo that does show up for a different contact but no luck. I am syncing to one other Mac, an iPhone and an iPad via iCloud.

  • Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • How to restore Address Book to the stage before running it for the 1st time

    Does anyone know how to do this? Couldn't delete some groups created automatically by Address Book, so thinking of restoring it to the initial stage.

    Which Groups are you trying to delete?
    Some or all except the primary "All" Group?
    Any error message provided when trying to do so?
    To restore the Address Book to the initial stage, do the following:
    With the Address Book application quit and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Application Support > AddressBook.
    Move the AddressBook folder to the Desktop.
    Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.AddressBook.plist. Move the com.apple.AddressBook.plist file to the Desktop.
    Launch Address Book and it should be like launching it for the first time.
    I like to move all assocated files to the Desktop first so in case something goes wrong and you want to restore things as they were, you can easily do so.

  • My iPhone is stolen. How can I get my address book back from the iCloud? I should have synchronized my iPad address book. However, I loss some recent contacts from iPhone.

    My iPhone is stolen. How can I get my address book back from the iCloud? I should have synchronized my iPad address book. However, I loss some recent contacts from iPhone.

    I use my iPad to get the address book backed up by iCloud from my iPhone. However, I cannot see the recent new contacts from my iPad. Is there anyway to check the iCloud server to see if my address book backup from my iPhone is still there?

  • How can I make a picture fit entirely in the photo box in a book.  The picture size is small, but the it only shows part of the picture, and the zoom is all the way down.

    I am trying to make a Photo Book using IPhoto for my granddaughter's wedding.  I am using 6 pictures per page, as I have many pictures to add to book.
    The picture size is small.  But when I zoom is all the way down to the end to make smaller.  Doesn't go far enough.  When I try to put a picture in the square spot, it cuts off part of the picture.  Has anyone else had this problem, and could help me out.  I really would like to put on each page even more pictures, but that is not an option with IPhoto.  I have used other sites to make books.  This is my first try with IPhoto.   I may have to revert to the old familiar ones.  Wanted to give this one a try.  My granddaughter leaves for Germany on the 21st to join her marine husband.  I am quickly running out of time.  (The wedding was this past Saturday)

    Place it the book, right click on it and fit to frame

  • Purpose of the Address Book and the Bookmarks Menu

    What is the purpose of the Address Book and the Bookmarks Menu under the show all bookmarks? What is a useful way to use the two? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    In Address Book, you have the option of entering a web site address in an individual's record. In Safari, by selecting Address Book in System Preferences>Bookmarks, you can access a list of these web addresses via either the Bookmarks Menu or Bookmarks Bar.
    Entries in the Bookmarks Menu are one way to enter, sort or access specific bookmarks. My preference is to access my Bookmarks via the Bookmarks Bar. More information can be found via the Safari Help menu (enter Bookmarks in Help's spotlight panel.

  • Mac OS 10.6.8.  In address book I have tried to delete some groups (created when I created an account in mail which I then subsequently deleted).  However in address book edit the delete button is greyed out.

    I cannot delete groups in address book because the delete button is greyed out.  I have deleted the original mail accounts which created the address book.  I could just leave the groups there but the problem it creates is that address book tries to connect to the relevant server every time I open mail, then I get various error messages because it cannot connect.  Thanks for any assistance.

    I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

    How do I create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address book. I already have three address books created for me by Thunderbird. I add all new addresses to one of those but am afraid to delete the other address books because some of their addresses are not repeated in my "main" address book. So if I don't delete all the names in one of the existing books, I need to create an empty book that will not mix the addresses with those in another address book. HOW DO I CREATE A NEW, EMPTY ADDRESS BOOK? I want to be able to create various mailing LISTS using the addresses in this new book so I will eventually have a special address book with a variety of mailing lists I can use as I wish.

    In 24.4.0 there is no File|New|Address Book. There is File|New|Address Book Contact. How do I create a new address book ?
