Groupwise Field Definitions for Address Book entry

Hi,
I am looking for Groupwise Field definitions i.e. Field Names associated with Address Book entry (Contact and Organization). I am using OAPI to access the Contact's field values and set the Contact's field values by Field Name. Is there any place which has the list of all the field Names associated with Contact and Organization Address Book entry.
Note: Field Definitions for Address Book entries that are in PAB.
I also look for the comparision of Field Names in Groupwise 7.0 and Groupwise 8.0.
Thanks,
Pranav

Why don't you iterate through all the field definitions of a given abook?
This will give you the list of all possible fields for an entry.

Duplicates of elements for Address Book entries

I have looked through the various threads that discuss "duplicate" entries in Address Book (Contacts). My situation is a slight variation.
While I have a handful of AB people who have multiple entries (some have as many as 15!), my problem here is that most of my entries have double (and often triple) entries for an item. For example, two (or 3) Home Address items, or two (or 3) Home Phone items, etc. When an entry has double (or triple) values, everything for that entry (other than the Notes) is replicated in that same way -- spouses, children, ... everything.
I have a Mobile Me account. I have syncing in iTunes turned OFF on both computers. One computer is running 10.4 (and therefore has Address Book 4.0.6 as the latest version). The other is running the latest version of 10.6, with Address Book 5.0.3. We have two iPhones and an iPad.
What is suggested to correct the entries so that there is only one value for each of the fields?

having the same Issue, when I add a contact on my iphone ( or edit) after syncing over MObile me : 1 iphone, 1 desktop / 1 powerbook:
the contacts get doubled or trippled ( in all iphone and macs) and sometimes the I got up to 10 same phone number entries..
it seems to sync back and forth couple of times...

"FROM" shows email address, not name, for a few address book entries

What is strange is that for the people it happens to, Mail IS able to successfully cross-reference them to an address book entry by showing their real name (and photo if I have one), in the BODY of the message. In other words, Mail will always resolved email address into names in the body of mail messages (100% of the time if I have a matching address book entry), but will only show names rather than addresses in the list view maybe 85% of the time. Weird. Seems like mail should either know the sender and display a name instead of address, or not. My issue is that is knows them in the body but doesn't in the messages list (above the preview pane).
I can't figure out what about the address book card for these few people is any different from the others one which do the name matching perfectly every time.
A small concern here, I know, but it is very annoying that I can't figure this out. I first noticed it back with Mail for Tiger. Any ideas?

It is easy to prove. Create an address book card for a sender already in your Inbox, give this new address card a fake name, and the Mail app will substitute the fake name in the "From:" field of the email message.
you are right. It is easy to prove and Mail doesn't do anything of the sort when i try it. On the other hand if I change the From field when composing a message, any recipient (using mail or any other email client) will see that name. that name is sent with the message and you can see it if you view the raw source of the message. Mail certainly never changes raw source.

Relationships in Address Book entries

Are there any applications which make use of the relationships within the OS X address book entries? I'm talking about the ability to specify one's brother, spouse, parents etc...
Does this field actually serve a practical purpose for anything?
I'm just curious
Terence

Address Book imports & exports data in "vCard" format, a standard that is widely used & understood by many applications. This more or less defines how the data fields are structured & provides for such things as an open ended method for defining fields beyond the obvious ones like name, address, phone number, etc.
In Address Book, if you click & hold on a field like spouse, you get a popup menu with a few options, like going to that person's card or doing a spotlight search on their name. Since this is open ended, you can create any 'relationship' field you want & use it with these popup options. What's more, Apple provides the ability to define new options for the menu & a way to pass field data to them, which allows developers (including everyday users with some knowledge of AppleScript) to add plugins to increase the functionality of the application.
I'm not aware of any plugin that extends the functionality of relationship fields ("related names" in AppleScript terminology), but it should be possible to create them in much the same way other plugins are created. If you are interested, you might want to check out the structure of the script plugins Apple offers (see Apple - Software - AppleScript - iCal) or of third party ones (see burger locator for a silly but educational example).

How to delete a custom field created in Address Book template?

It is possible to create a new custom field name in any of the pop-up field categories in the preferences template for Address Book.
But, once created, there does not seem to be a way to delete or edit the newly created custom field name. That doesn't make sense.
Tell me that I am wrong, and then tell me how to delete or edit a custom field name. Thanks!!

Thanks Pascal, I can change the viewed template field areas as you have described. My problem was with modification of the pop-up list entries: adding, deleting, and renaming user created custom field entries. I have since figured out how Address Book allows these functions; unfortunately, that specific information is not present in the Address Book help file.

Custom layouts for Address book - plugins? utilities?

I checked out Dr. Mac's site (I think that was the name) instructions on creating custom layouts which will also work with address book. It didn't help since I want to design my own layout and be able to preview it in address book. Unfortunately that feature doesn't seem to exist (unless I've missed it) so I'd like to find either a utility or plugin that allows me to do this within address book. I want to set the column widths, the widths between each column, where to put the page number etc.
Your comments and/or suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks.

you can't. there is nothing like this in address book. no plugins or 3rd party tools for this either. and I don't understand what you really mean by a custom layout when talking about address book. address book just lists addresses. you can customize which fields and address book entry can have but that's it.

I would like to add a new card date field to my address Book Contacts. Is this possible? Thanks, Jeff

Hi,
I would like to add a new card date field to my Address Book Contacts. Is there any way to do this? I have a lot of contacts and it helps me remember who I talked to, if I had a new card date field in my contacts.
Thank you,
Jeff

Hi,
I found the applescript below from Michael Bach that works well.
(* Find recently modified entries in the Address Book
Input: a time interval (backwards from today) in the variable "daysBeforeToday"
Output: a string on the clipboard, format: YYYY-MM-DD (tab) Name (return)
Â©2009, Michael Bach, <www.michaelbach.de> *)
set daysBeforeToday to 7 -- <<< change as desired or read from a dialog
tell application "Address Book"
copy (current date) - daysBeforeToday * 24 * minutes * 60 to referenceDate
copy (every person whose (modification date > referenceDate)) to modifiedPersons
set s to ""
repeat with aPerson in modifiedPersons
    set d to ((modification date) of aPerson) -- now change to international format and forget the hours
    set dateString to (year of d as string) & "-" & (my twoDigits((month of d) as number)) & "-" & (my twoDigits(day of d) as string)
    set s to s & dateString & tab & (name of aPerson) & return
end repeat
set the clipboard to s --for pasting into other applications
s -- to view immediately in the script editor
end tell
on twoDigits(aNumber) -- trivial utility for formatting
if aNumber < 10 then return "0" & (aNumber as string)
return (aNumber as string)
end twoDigits
I changed the modification date to creation date.
Thanks for the replies.

Time Machine will not restore Address Book entry

I noticed that one Address Book entry has become 'corrupted' possibly when synched with my mobile phone. The name had become truncated and I had lost my notes and address details, retaining just the telephone numbers. When I access Time Machine I can see the original file. When I click restore it 'drags' this file to the current desktop, and the file appears for half a second within the address book and then disappears. When I do restore all it asks me whether I want to import all records and allows me to deal with duplicates, but still nothing is restored. What is going on?

I think you may be missing step:
Open a window for the item you want to restore.
For example, if you accidentally deleted a file from your Documents folder, open the Documents folder. If you want to recover an email message, open your inbox in Mail.
If you’re missing an item from the desktop, you don’t need to open a window.
Click the Time Machine icon in the Dock.
If Time Machine isn’t in the Dock, look for it in the Applications folder.
Use the arrows or the timeline along the right side of your screen to browse through all the backups Time Machine has created.
If you need more information about an item, double-click to preview it.
The windows behave just like Finder windows, so you can open folders, click items in the sidebar, and use the search field in the upper-right corner of the window.
When you find the item you want to restore, select it and then click Restore.
You can restore individual items, multiple items, folders, or your entire hard disk.
If an item you restore has the same name as another item on your computer, you’re asked if you want to keep the current item, the restored item, or both.

How to keep a new Address Book entry separate from current Address Book

I am developing a list of 500 emails that I will use for a group email. I want to avoid adding them to my current address book entries and make a totally separate file that I can access when I want to send to this group only.
Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

Address Book only supports one list of contacts, not multiple address books. However, you can create the list as a Group within Address Book. If you don't want to keep that group around all the time, you can export the whole group as a vCard (File menu > Export Group vCard), delete the group from your list, and when you want to send mail to the group, just drag-and-drop the vCard to the Bcc: field of a new mail message (or the To: field, but the Bcc: field is the proper one to use, so the recipients of the group email can't see the email addresses of the other recipients).
To access the Bcc: field, click the to the left of Subject.
Hope this helps...

Re-sync address book entries

Hi,
I get contact information from GroupWise to Sugar and vice versa, but I can't get changes to be synced.
Means, I create an address book entry in GW, the contact will be transferred to Sugar.
In Sugar I do some changes, but these changes will never be synced back to GW.
What must I do to get these running?
Best regards,
Dirk

How do i remove my photo from my Address Book entry?

two questions: first, how do i remove my photo from my entry in Address Book? i should be able to click "Edit", select my photo and hit the Delete key and be done, but no - hitting the Delete key does nothing except make the photo blink.
second, i just posted a comment on a web page that i've never been to before, on a site that i've never been to before, and my photo appeared on the web page next to my comment. very creepy. anybody know why this is and how i make it stop? does it have something to do with my Address Book entry?
update: i've consulted Address Book's help and it tells me to select the card then go Card -> Clear custom image, but when i do, that menu item is grayed out.
further update: i've worked around the problem by taking a screen shot of a blank white area of a webpage and making that my photo...but i shouldn't have to do that and would still like to know how one actually deletes one's photo from Address Book. Address Book's help indicates that i'll find such photos in Library/Images/People, but there's no such directory in any of my Library folders. Address Book's help is not being very helpful today.
tia...

there is actually no way to completely delete an image for you address book entry. you can only change it to something else as you did.
as for the image on that website, most likely it pulled your photo from your webpage on some site like My Space, Facebook etc. do you have a page like that? some sites will tap directly into your webpage and pull your pic from it.

If you have a Mac, it's pretty easy. But you don't (should I make a pitch for you to get a MacBook Pro in the future)?
This should help you out to sync it back to several non-Apple software:

Reply works, but address book entry doesn't

I have an odd problem that's making me a litttle batty. I have an friend I e-mail regularly and--since recently switching to Mail from Eudora--I've been finding that some of my messages are not getting through.
I'm not 100% certain, but it seems that when I send a new message that's addressed from the Address Book entry, the message is never received. But when I REPLY to a message from this same recipient--same address--the message goes through just fine.
I've reviewed the address again and again and it's entered correctly.
When I look at the Long Header, one difference I note between the received and no-received maessages is under Content-Type.
A successful message has:
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=Apple-Mail-8-603300258
And a failed message:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed
Another difference is that the failed messages--the ones that originated with me have something called:
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
While the messages I reply to don't have that line at all.
The recipient--by the way--is at work at a large organization. So I wonder if their mail servers are blocking messages with certain kinds of encoding?
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
OK, OK...this just in. While I was composing this message, I was also franticly corresponding with the adressee in question, trying to troubleshoot this. I may have solved my own problem, but I'm going to post this anyway... In hopes of solving someone else's problem, and possibly getting some responses that will enlighten me further (cuz I just don't get this).
On a wild guess/hunch, I went into PREFERENCES/COMPOSING and changed the Message Format: from Rich Text to Plain Text. The next test message got through! One difference (if it matters??) I found in the Long Header was the
Content-Type changed from:
text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed
to
text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed
So anyway...I'm completely flummoxed. Any ideas, clues, answers out there? I'm not going to trust yet that this problem is completely solved. So I'll leave this as an open question for now.
verbosely yours,

Hmmm... there's nothing fancy about the signature (no bolds, itals or other styles or colors). But does that mean that it IS plain text? My setting when I made the signature(s) was Rich Text, I'm sure. So would that apply, even though it's plain for all intents and purposes? And if it's not. How is it changed to Plain Text?
As far as the SMTP settings. I tried one change last night. I changed the Server settings from "smtp.ispname.net:username" to "smtp.ispname.net:[email protected]". When I tested a message to the address/server I've had the most problems with, the message arrived successfully. But I don't think that proves anything as yet. The nature of the problem has been mysteriously intermitent anyway. (that message had my regular signature as well).
AS I'd mentioned, I've been moving stuff out of my Sent Mail folders to keep things organized and for reference (Is doing that OK? is Sent Mail suppposed to be left wher it is for some reason?). But on informal investigation, I would say that all of the messages I've sent--original or reply--HAVE shown up in the Sent Mail folder.
The discussion thread I'd been involved in with you before is:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=347863
However, I haven't added any posts since way back then.
Thanks you for any insights you can give me with this. If you're not on Apple's payroll, you should be.

CUCM 8.6 Personal Address Book entry limitation?

Hi Experts,
Can one of you tell me what is the limitation of Personal Address Book entries?
Done a quick search
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2153123
according to this on 8.5 is 1000.
- Is this still the case on 8.6,
- is it per phone or this is the system limitation (per ?server?) ? if having two CUCMs, will this be 2x 1000 (if 1000 is still the case for 8.6)?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Tibor

then use your own IP address for the Call Manager node.
Our Call Manager configuration is shown below.
To access the feature, we hit the Services Button, are prompted with a Personal Address Book option, select it, then are promoted for a UserID/PIN (shown further below), at which point I enter my LDAP ID and a PIN. The PIN is created in Call Manager under User Management ==> End User ==> PIN.

PLEASE HELP!!!! My Address Book Entries Keep Disappearing

I work on contract for multiple companies and have 6 different email accounts. Until today, I only had 1 profile in my address book that was marked with my main email address. Today I went to add my name and the corresponding email into Address book, and then my email and ical froze and I had to Force Quit. All Address book entries were gone. I reloaded my address book, went back to ical to view the invitation and AGAIN!!! all address book entries were gone. It appears that I can't set up "my info" with different email addresses. I would be ever so grateful if someone might have a solution.
Many Thanks for any ideas....

I recommend that you book a Genius session at an Apple Store. It sounds like your iMac or iPhone has a corrupted Contacts function and it will keep generating blank contacts.
If you can open Contacts on the iMac then create a new group (file menu), drag your genuine contacts to that group then File/Export the group with Export vCard. You can use this to recover the contacts later.
BTW - best not to post your iMac serial number and UUID online.
