Don't want spouse & children to appear on address label

I'm trying to print mailing labels from Address Book. Unless I have the "Company" box checked, Address Book is putting the spouse & all the childrens names along side the adult name on the first line of the address label. How do I stop these names from appearing on my address labels and just have the single adult name appear?
Here is an example of what is being printed:
Jane Smith, Tim, Susan and Harry
101 Cedar Way
Austin, TX 89765
I want the label to look like this:
Jane Smith
101 Cedar Way
Austin, TX 89765

And I am having the opposite problem! (I want the spouse and children names to print, as AB used to work.)
Here is the KB article that discusses this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3952
Since your post indicates you are on 10.5.8 then AB works the way you describe. You will see that, starting with 10.6, it works the way you want it do (but no longer the way I was counting on!!)
Other than modifying the "name" field to be a compound name (which I do not want, in general, for all my contacts), does anyone know how to get the "new & improved" Address Book to print labels for a "holiday" mailing, without distorting the entries for the more general use throughout the year. Ugh!
Or, does anyone have a different label printing app that works better ... works the way Address Book used to work?

  • TS2755 I have an 11 yr old and want to use the same apple id because I don't want to allow her an email address now. Is there a way to still use IMessage or does it connect all texts to both phones? How about pics? Thank you.

    I have an 11 yr old who I want to use my apple id on our Iphones jointly. We do not want her to have an email address currently because of some issues. Anyway, does both phones being connected to the same apple id mean that when IMessage is used that we both get the same messages? Also, what causes our pics to each other not to go through the system? Thank you for any assistance!

    IF both devices have the same Apple ID signed in ; it will believe the devices are meant to both recieve them. My biggest recommandation is you can create an email address for your daughter and in the future when she gets her own email address she can chang ethe primary email address to the up to date one.

  • Don't want default buttons to appear....

    Greetings -
    Does anyone have a way to not show a default button on a menu - I'd like the menu to appear with nothing activated on any button until the user rolls over.
    Much thanks in advance.

    You can make a default button that does nothing and is not highlighted so people will have a "non" button when navigating and when they navogate to the other buttons they can highlight

  • HT4479 I have an Apple ID that's not an email, and I have been told it needs to be an email address.  I change it to my email address and it says my email is already in use.   I only have one email address.  I don't want to create a second email address.

    I have an email account and they want me to use my (same) email account name as my Apple ID.  When I do it says my email is already in use.  Is Apply suggesting I need to create a second email address?

    Is the email address being used in the account of another Apple ID that you have?

  • Spouse name sometimes does not appear on printed labels - why?

    Last year, this forum helped me figure out how to get spouse names onto my Christmas card labels. Thanks! This year, I want to fix a tiny problem that came up last year. For some reason, about 10% of the labels do not include a spouse name, even though I have included the spouse's name in the 'spouse' field on the address card, in the same way as all the other cards. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to why some of the records will print with a spouse's name and others don't.
    Any thoughts?
    Our solution last year was to hand write the labels for the envelopes that were incomplete. This year, I thought I'd spend at least a few minutes trying to solve the problem before resorting to that.
    Thanks!

    I have experimented with this a great deal, with great frustration.This is indeed a very bug ridden area of Address Book.
    For instance, try the following: pick one of the spouses (similar problems exist when using partners) that won't print, then edit the spouse's name by inserting a period (.) at the front. E.g. change "Larry Stewart" to ".Larry Stewart", then see if the spouse's name appears on a label. Most of the time mine would, but if you take the period out again, you guessed it: no label. What kind of sense does all THAT make????
    Also, be aware that the main contact must have both a first and last name.
    When working properly, contacts and spouse with the same last name print as "Joan and Larry Stewart." When the last names are different, as typically with partners, you get "Joan Armatrading and Larry Stewart." Quite nice....except when it doesn't work at all, which for me has been about 50/50.
    I came on here today to find out if anyone knows of any downloadable or hard copy documentation for Address Book so I could see if there is an actual spec for entering data to print these kind of labels. Sometimes Apple has tech notes about stuff. Has anyone seen or heard of anything like this?
    Thanks, Patrick

  • How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses  "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear.  Help please!

    How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses  "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear.  Help please!

    As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iPhone's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which is separate from the address book or contacts. The email address autofill feature when addressing an message pulls from Contacts and from the list of previous recipients.
    Different from the Mail app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients with iOS on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to remove a previous recipient from the list, or to add a previous recipient to the address book or contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
    The only way to purge the list of previous recipients at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, which will start being re-populated again with every sent message.

  • How to make Nano NOT appear on Mac desktop as connected drive when I plug in to recharge it? Just want charging, not syncing, and don't want to unmount drive each time.

    I have a 6th generation iPod Nano.
    I almost exclusively use it as an FM radio and as a pedometer -- so far I have not loaded any songs onto it for listening, nor do I intend to in the future.
    Here's my problem:
    When my Nano runs out of juice, I have to use the charging cord to plug it into to my iMac's USB port to recharge the Nano. However, whenever I do so, two different (unwanted) actions happened:
    First, the act of plugging in the iPod auto-launched iTunes, for syncing. I solved this problem by finding the preference check box for launching iTunes when connecting an iPid, and UNchecking the box. That worked, problem solved.
    However, the second automatic action is that the iPod appears as a connected drive on the iMac desktop, as any external device with a drive would appear when connected to any Mac. But I have no need for this to be happening -- I don't intend to upload anything to the iPod, nor to sync it, or whatever -- the only reason I ever connect the iPod to the iMac is to RECHARGE the iPod, not to tinker with the contents of what's on it.
    The problem is, every time I then want to disconnect the charging cord, I have to manually "unmount" the iPod drive by dragging its desktop icon to the Trash, when then allows the "it is now safe to disconnect your external drive" state to obtain, allowing me to then unplug it without getting a warning message telling me I shouldn't have just disconnected a connected drive without first unmounting it.
    This wouldn't be such a bother, except that the 6th generation iPod Nano has a new "feature" which makes it impossible to see how far along the charging is progressing while it is still in the act of charging. Thus, the only way to know if it is has become  fully charged is to unplug it, and look at the battery monitor. While is it still connected and charging, all that displays on the iPod is the "charging now" battery icon, which does not reveal just how the charging is progressing, or if it is fully charged yet. (My iPhone, by way of contrast, displays during charging a battery icon which reveals how far charged it is by that point.)
    As a result of this Nano "feature," I often find myself having to connect and disconnect the Nano two or three or more times each time I'm charging it, so I can simply check how far along the charging has gotten, since I want to disconnect it as soon as it has finished charging and get back to using it.
    But so far, I have not been able to find any kind of setting or preference which allow me to identify this device as one which I DON'T want to "mount" each time it is plugged in.
    All I want to do is just plug in the iPod, and be able to unplug it, without having to to ANY shenanigans on the computer itself. Just plug in = recharging, unplug = not charging any more. Simple.
    Question: is there any way to achieve this? Or is it simply not possible, and must I manually unmount the iPod's drive (more than once, usually) each time I plug it in for recharging?

    I should also point out that when I connect my iPhone, it DOESN'T appear as a connected drive on the desktop. Not sure how this can be so, since the iPhone also has a drive and also functions as an iPod if I want it to. I must have changed some setting to achieve this non-appearance, but don't remember what I must have done.
    What's the secret?
