Email Not Recognizing Address Book Senders

I have five different e-mail accounts so I get a lot of spam. I have my e-mail set to move any message from a sender not in my Address Book to Junk. This always worked GREAT in 10.3, but with Tiger I have NEVER been able to get this feature to work. Even e-mails that I send myself go to junk. I keep hoping that an update will fix the problem but I'm at 10.4.3 and still no luck. Does anyone have this problem, or a solution?
Thanks

Am I really the only one who is/has ever experienced this?

Contacts on iPhone erased/iTunes not recognizing Address Book

A week or 2 ago i connected my iPhone to iTunes (running 9.1) I synced some music. Then after disconnecting, I noticed on my iPhone that all my contacts are gone. However, if i want to text someone and i press the "+" icon it shows all my contacts as i start typing letters. Now, when i connect my iPhone back to my mac, my iTunes doesn't recognize my address book and shows nothing even though i still have all my contacts saved in my Address Book. Anyone with a solution or similar problems?? Thanks!

This is happening to me too. The only way it's working is if I let iCloud do it, but then it creates a separate list of contacts specific to the iCloud that is different from those "Stored on My Mac" and I want them ALL to correspond

Snapchat not recognizing address book

i finally upgraded my galaxy s4 to an iPhone 6 plus but now snap chat is not working. i have a whole bunch of people in my contact list that was backed up from previous iPhone backups but when I open snap chat and try to add friends from my contact list nothing comes up. Before anyone asks yes I did allow snap chat access to my phone book. I have uninstalled the app 3 times with no luck updated my phone and restarted it. i do have an unlocked iPhone 6 plus.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? It's killing me that I can't add people on my contacts list and I'm stuck with what I had from my galaxy.

How do I see a list of all my Apple Mail contacts. I do not use address book. I just want to see all the email addresses stored on my Mac

Hi All,
I have been using Mail for the past three years without need to send a regular mailing list mailout.
I now need to send group emails and all I want to do is browse my contacts aquired over the last three years to create a list. I have not used Address Book for anything other than phone contacts so please do not point me in that dirrection.
There must be a list of all email contacts stored somewhere on the Mac that I can look through. It is an almost impossible task to do this by browsing my inbox/sent folders.
Hope you can help and thanks in advance!
Best
Adam

Cannot send some emails from the address book. Comcast says it is not a server problem.

Keep getting this message when trying to send a group email from the address book -"The size of the message you are trying to send exceeds a temporary size limit of the server. The message was not sent, try to reduce the message size or wait some time and try again. The server responded: 4.1.1... temporary failure."
Comcast has checked it - the issue is not the server they say. This problem just started 4 days ago. It appears other people have this problem on the thunderbird forum and it has not been resolved yet.

The Comcast server is issuing the error message. Have them explain how this is not their problem.

Attaching "faux notes" to Address Book contacts

Lots of CRMs and Personal Organizers let you attach multiple notes to a Contact, along with a datetime stamp for that Note. Address Book does not, alas.
Leopard's Email client, however, let's you create free-standing Notes for your Inbox (or wherever you drag them). But these cannot be attached to a contact.
My "workaround" for this is:
1) Create a new "ON MY MAC" mailbox called "Faux Notes"
2) Create a New Message for the contact(s) you want to affiliate this "faux note" to
3) Save it as a Draft
4) Drag it from the "Drafts" folder over to your "Faux Notes" mailbox. This shall ensure that you cannot email your note off to the contact(s) by mistake. The Faux Note also becomes read-only at this point.
5) If you want to edit or add to that "Faux Note," then you must first drag it back to the Drafts folder.
Voila!
Benefits:
A) Faux Notes are searchable in Spotlight (as are regular Notes).
B) Faux Notes show up in Smart Mailboxes such as those created by the handy "Mailboxer" utility (http://earthlingsoft.net/Mailboxer).
Now, I just wish I could figure out how to attach a button to the View Contacts pane of Address Book that would kick off an on-they-fly Spotlight query for mail to/from all the email addresses affiliated with that Contact, as in:
[email protected] kind:email OR [email protected] kind:email OR [email protected] kind:email
Feedback welcome! I'm a recent Mac convert after having PCs for the past 15 years.
Regards,
Alan.

I placed this question up here almost two years ago, and the problem has since resolved itself. I think because I have upgraded my mac's operating system (OS) several times since then.
You might want to check and see if you're using the latest version of Mac OS X (currently 10.8.4). If you're not up-to-date, go into the App Store on your Mac and see if there is an OS update waiting for you. That might help.
Good luck.

Dot Mac not Syncing Address Book

Syncing won't replace web version of my address book with that from my desktop. I've done the replace from System Preferences, I've even deleted my web based .Mac contacts and then synced, but the old Address Book appears. How do I get the new contacts into .Mac?

Depending on circumstances, this may be WAD (Working as Designed). All reconciliation is between the BB and your email service...there is no reconciliation between the BB and your PC. See this KB for reference:
KB05133Email reconciliation features for the BlackBerry Internet Service
If your email service is capable of reconciling, from the BB (via BIS), deleted items, then it is a matter between your PC and your email service. You've not said how you are accessing your email from your PC -- webmail, email client (e.g., Outlook, etc.), etc...the answer to that will tell you if you are seeing things as WAD or if things are amiss (since most email clients, Outlook for sure, cannot reconcile items deleted at the server back down to themselves).
Good luck!

How to sync Notes, iCal & Address Book between iPod & Mac?

Hi, there:
Could someone please be so kind to teach me how to sync Notes, iCal & Address Book between my iPod Touch (with iOS6) & Mac (with OS X10.6.8)?
What file format would it be in when Notes is synced from my iPod Touch into Mac, if possible?
How may I drag photos in my regular photos files (not using iPhoto) from my Mac into iPod Touch?
And........HAPPY NEW YEAR of 2014 to Everyone!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much for your detailed reply. Much appreciated!
Just to confirm my understanding that 100% clear on the solution, if my wife gets her own iCloud account, on her phone she'll receive her own emails & iMessages (makes sense) but not contacts. Calendars though we could share.
Without two separate iCloud accts though -- iCloud on my phone, and her email through Gmail on her phone -- we could share all the common iCloud data (contacts, calendar, notes, reminders, etc.) by enabling the appropriate settings on her phone.
Am I correct to conclude then that the sole benefit of her adding own iCloud acct is email through iCloud (and I guess the free 5GB)? It would not be possible to simply and easily have one common 'family' address book (i.e. since while Calendars are share-able, contact libraries are not)?

Contacts NOT in Address Book Syncing to iPhone

Long story short, I created a distribution list for my father in law with 800 addresses in it. Then deleted all the cards and distribution list. They still show up in my iPhone, no matter what I do.
I have tried the following:
#1 Confirmed they are not in address book, at all, whatsoever
#2 Unchecked sync addresses, and re-sync, still showing up
#3 Under Advanced, checked replace information on this iPhone - Contacts
#4 Confirmed my addresses are not syncing via Mobile Me
#5 Confirmed latest version of iTunes 10.1.1 and iOS4.
Any ideas? I can't even manually delete them from the iPhone without a 3rd Party App.
Thanks for the help.

No contacts in address book, can not find address book anymore

I was trying to switch default email accounts, Hughes.net was the default and Yahoo the secondary and I wanted to swap these around as I am no longer using Hughes net.
In doing so I lost all email folders and address books. I have rebuilt the folders but now I see that I have no address book in either accounts.
Are they gone for good?
Thanks.
Jeff

There are two default address books in Thunderbird. Both of these address books can be copy pasted between mail accounts.
''Personal Address Book'' is called '''abook.mab'''
''Collected Addresses '' is called '''history.mab'''
These are stored in your Profile folder in the mail account name. But it would need your old mail account to be intact in order to copy anything from it to another mail account.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
* C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Profile name\ mail account name
The AppData folder is folder is a hidden folder; to show hidden folders, open a Windows Explorer window and choose "Organize → Folder and Search Options → Folder Options → View (tab) → Show hidden files and folders".
If your original mail account is still there: Profiles\Mail\mail account name
You could simply recover it. Info here:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_deleted_mail_accounts
Remember, when performing any changes in Profiles folder, Thunderbird must be closed first.

I have a 4 yr. old iMac. I recently got a trojan on it that sent out emails to my address book. I got Norton Internet Security for Mac, and now my Mac is running slow, with way too many spinning beach balls of death. Was it a mistake to install Norton?

There is no such Trojan or other malware known today that will do that using OS X nor has there ever been one. The most probable explanation is that somebody hacked into your e-mail account on the server, so you should change that password to something stronger right away. If it had come from your Mac then there would almost certainly be copies of those messages in your Sent Mail mailbox.

My MacBook Pro will not sync address book changes with my IPhone. Why? It used to.

Then you may have to try manually resetting the syncservices folder by following Julian Write's post (from https://discussions.apple.com/message/9274781#9274781):
Ok, as you can't reset SyncServices in the "normal" way, you'll have to resort to the "other" way:
Although it's not advised to do so in normal circumstances, you'll need to manually delete the SyncServices folder.
Before doing so, you MUST make a backup of both your Contacts and Calendars:
In Address Book, choose *Export > Address Book Archive...* from the File menu.
In iCal, choose *Back up iCal...* from the File menu.
Then, make a backup of the SyncServices folder located at:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
By backing everything up first, you don't risk losing anything.
Finally delete the aforementioned SyncServices folder and restart the Mac. This will force Mac OS X to recreate the SyncServices folder, and hopefully fix your problem.
I believe in Snow Leopard you can back up your calendar in File>Export>iCal Archive rather than File>Back up iCal as posted above.

Ipod nano does not sync address book...

So, I got a nano for christmas and it rocks, but does not sync address book- I can drop the vcards into the addresses folder using the nano in drive mode, but when i try to sync through itunes i get an error message-' address book unable to sync because no addresses are available' Any clues how to keep the addresses updated without having to drag&drop everything into the addresses folder? thanks for any advice- h1

I also am having trouble syncing contacts and iCal. Worked fine on my last iPod for years. But the nano displays contacts and calendars about 50% of the time, and I never know if it's worked or not until I disconnect and start up my ipod. When it does sync contacts, it usually says it only has room for a portion of them, even though there's plenty of room on my iPod. I've restored the iPod many times, and that sometimes works for a while, but the problem always returns. A shame, because I love using my iPod for my calendar and contacts. Now I had to switch to my stupid phone because of how unreliable the iPod is proving. Fix this soon, please, Apple!

Mail: Where are email messages and address book saved?

Good morning.
I would like to backup both emails and the address book in Mail.
Where are these located on my harddrive?
Thanks for your time.

Hi Again Bruce,
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
For Address Book, quit AB...
Files...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
Folders...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/

ISync erased notes on Address Book

I have a MacBookPro, ussing Leopard ver.10.5.2., iSync ver 3.0, Sony Ericsson W810i.
In order to sync with my phone with my contacts, I created a new group in my Address Book named iSync (153 contacts), this is the one that I am syncing with my phone.
My contacts have in "notes" some information that exceds 48 characters. I have seen that the contacts that I sync with my phone have lost some information that exceded the 48 characters.
I have reviewed all configurations of iSync and cant find change that could improve this error.
Any comments on this issue?....

When syncing to limited memory devices you have to keep the lengths of any fields below the limits imposed by the device's manufacturer to avoid this issue.
The Info field in Sony Ericsson phones is restricted to 50 characters. As long as you keep your Notes in Address Book less than 50 characters it will sync ok.
Because iSync knows this field is limited to 50 characters it only syncs the first 50 characters of the field to avoid errors occurring during syncing.
If, however, you make changes to a Contact on the phone, iSync will see the change and sync the whole Contact back to the Mac, including the truncated Info field.
iSync syncs whole Contacts at a time, it does not sync individual fields, so even though you may only have changed or added a phone number to the Contact, all the Contacts data will be synced back to the Mac.
There's no way around this, apart from keeping the lengths of the fields within the limits imposed by the phone.
You could try submitting Feedback to Apple on this issue, but I wouldn't hold your breath:
