I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help?
Also, what are the source of your contacts? are they created on the phone, or you synced from yahoo/hotmail etc.
If thats the case, the circular arrow wont be visible but instead show "groups"
Contacts from different accounts are not synced to iCloud. -
Ever since removing and updating Adobe Flash Player I suddenly cannot get my Yahoo email page to come up with Mozilla 4.0 or 3.6. I can log into yahoo but when I click on Mail from the welcome page I get an error message saying that it cannot find the email address and asking me to check the spelling. I have tried removing and redownloading 4.0 and 3.6. Same problem. With other browsers--Opera, Chrome, and Safari--I don't have this problem. Please help me solve this problem as Mozilla is my default browser.
Its known issue, see;
* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
please open a bugzilla account and add your email in cc list if you want to follow the bug?
Someone having the problem, but when he upgrade Java runtime, his poblem was fixed, make sure your JRE has been up to date?
Also maybe this bug is fixed in nightly?

Some of my groups do not work. I have looked at all the addresses, but cannot find any that are obviously faulty. How can I find which addresses are rejected ?
Eureka. You are right. I just tested closing and reopening Mail and now today's groups work. Regarding editing the existing groups, I found an article from 2011 on CNet that claimed that iCloud disables the Distribution List Editor. The work around is to create a single dummy group under "On My Mac" which will reactivate the editor which can then be used for iCloud groups. I tested this and it works.
Thank you so much for your prompt and helpful comment.

This morning, I upgraded to Snow Leopard from v10.5.8. Then, I exported 11 contacts from our old Now Contact database, intending to import that info into Address Book. It was an experiment, as we have 1199 contacts in 20+ categories and want to eventually get them into Bento from Address Book. The export automatically created a file called Export.vcf on the desktop, after I highlighted the 11 contacts. I tried to look at the info, but when clicked it opens Address Book, which then simply asked if I wanted to import the 11 contacts to it. I clicked yes. Then in checking Address Book 7, not 11 contacts appeared. I clicked on "All Contacts" and there were 1630. We only have 1199, so where did the extra 400+ come from? Since I had already clicked twice on the Address Book window, I couldn't undo the import. So I thought 'Ok, I'll trash Address Book and go to Time Machine, find Address Book, go to right after the upgrade to SL, hit Restore and bingo. Nope. I keep getting the post-import info, not pre. Con someone direct me to a solution? I want to get rid of the import contacts plus the extra 300 or so ( I already had a hundred or so in several categories)? Then, I need to figure out (1) why ALL the old records were exported from Now Contact, (2) where they were hiding in that .vcf file when Address Book recognized that I only wanted to export 11, (3) why Address Book showed only 7 imports in the "Last Import" group, but showed ALL my contacts in the "All Contact" group, even though they should nearly all have been safely untouched in the Now Contact DBase file. PS, I am not especially computer savvy. Thanks for any enlightenment.

I have Mail set up with three gmail-based email accounts. I have chronically had an issue with sending email from one address and having responses to that original email come in to the other gmail addresses. When I try to select which server to send from, all three gmail servers are never online or available at the same time - it's always just one.
How do I get around this? My gmail-based accounts are for three distinct audiences, so I need them to function properly. I would rather be able to do this in Mail than by switching to internet-based email or using Outlook for Mac. At this point, I have had to stop using Mail and am just doing it through the internet. I have deleted all of my email accounts out of Mail, so nothing is currently set up in the application. Do I need to do anything to Mail to really wipe it clean before I start creating my accounts again?
Thanks in advance for your input!After removing the account and reinstalling it. currently both send and receive are showing on my Mac Pro.. My MacBookPro s another issue ... even when I send email in that account from the MBP it "flashess" in the sent mail and then dissappears. I modified my "smart folder" and included "sent mail" and that was of no use either. When I first reloaded that account on the MBP this morning both sent and inbox mail showed ... but now nothing in the "sent" folder even though it is still showing on the MP and in the OWA account.
Since the mail is clearly in the OWA account I assume this is an Apple mail issue and not a GoDaddy (server) issue .. -
Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
So my options are:
Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
Anyone else ran into this before?
I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should not need to verify the old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How do you set up multiple from addresses in mail
on my ipad when I set up email accounts, i can enter multiple addresses in the Email field, separated by a comma, which is located on the keyboard far right, second symbol screen.
On my iphone 5 there's NO COMMA that I can find on any of the three Keyboard screens when you're in the Email field.
What's up with that?
I'm running ios 6 on both devicesBeth, I ran into the same issue.
What I did was this:
(1) Go into the Note app and enter your comma-delimited list of email addresses.
(2) Copy the list and paste it into the Mail settings where you tried to enter it.
It works fine that way.
Note however that if you are using the default Gmail settings there isn't a separate field for your email address and username - they are the same. So you will get an error when you try to save. However, if you use the manual setup where there are separate fields for username and email address this will work.
You can even add the extra email addresses to another non-Gmail account and when you try to send you can select the alternate email address.

I tried to launch iCloud on iMac. I Changed my e-mail address recently, and iMac doesn't seem to know it. Even worse, it doesn't know any password I've used with Apple ID. Can anyone help me?
No, i don't. if i did i would have tried it. do you have to sign up an appled ID for iCloud? If the answer is yes then they should mention that in the set-up instructions.

When sending calendar invite to "invitee" an old address appears. This guy is literally dead (may he rest in peace) and has same first name as person I send to all the time. So "dead" guy always pops up. Can't find his address to delete anywhere -- not in previous recipients, not in my address book, does not "auto-populate" when I try to send an Email. Still shows up everytime I want to send iCal invite. Spooky. Help me delete this guy from my iCal invitee options so he can truly rest in peace. Thanks!

When application quits - it's all forgotten and it self-resets to
unwanted configuration.Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software. -
Where is the home/application support/address book folder in Lion? Can't find it to put in a backup.
I made a mistake. I want to find the home/library/application support/address book - not the application itself. The whole library is not there - is it a hidden file? And if so how do I get it to show?

Kappy, I was going to start a Thread about the Application Folder so I'm glad you brought it up and you said that it should not even exist. I've had an Applications Folder within my Home Folder thru multiple OS. I'm even tempted to say since OS 9, but I'm not sure about that. There has never been anything in that folder and I don't remember ever creating it. Infact, The folder to me looks like a folder that would be installed as part of the OS. -
Can't find how to get iPad Contacts into new iMac Address Book
I've got a brand new iMac and if I look in the import feature of Address Book it wants to import from a file on my iMac but there's no iPad listed there even though it's plugged in. iTunes only seems to sync first time from iMac to iPad but all my contact details are on the iPad. Surely there is there some way to migrate my iPad Contacts to my iMac address book isn't there?
Data to and from your iPad is managed via iTunes. With your iPad connected to your iMac, open iTunes and then select the Info Pane. There you can choose to sync data. I would advise that you first right click on the name of your iPad in the iTunes Devices list and choose BackUp. Just in case anything goes funky!
From the iPad 2 manual:
Info Pane
The Info pane lets you configure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and web browser.
• Contacts
You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Microsoft Outlook Express), Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one application at a time.)
If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve set up syncing. -
Address book help can't find files
My address book help files can't be found by the help viewer. It only shows the first page. When trying clicking on the link it gives either the error message 'can't find the file' or 'something ...1001'. The same goes for Automator. I haven't checked the other applications but Image Capture which can find its files. I have also peeked with Pacifist into the apps packages and there ins't any help file in mentioned apps.
Can anyone help or confirm?HI
Control or Right Click on the Address Book Application. From the resulting menu select "Show Package Contents". You should see a folder called Contents. Look inside this folder and you should see a number of files and folders. One of them will be called Resources. Look inside this folder and you should see a plain file (ie: one with no specific icon) called AddressBook.help. On 10.6.5 it should be approx 10.6 MB in size and be version 4.0. This itself is a package and if you control or right click on the icon you should be able to select "Show Package Contents". Drill down through the resulting folder and you should see all the files and folders that make up the Help Section for address book.
If for some reason you are missing some of these files or (more likely) don't have access to them (permissions have got messed up for some reason possibly) then either repair permissions or use Pacifist to extract AddressBook from the Installer DVD to reinstall the application again. I think it's also possible to copy over a working copy that's the same version from another mac.
Most applications on OSX are 'standalone' and pretty much everything to do with that application will be contained 'within' the application itself. There are other ancillary files some applications use or even need - such as files placed in the User Library and Application Support folders - again it depends on the application. Your mileage as ever will vary.

I want to verify my i-cloud but Apple keep sending the e-mail to @more-com and I cannot access this. How do I set up my mail to be able to access this e-mail address. I want to keep my existing e-mail with Tiscali(TalkTalk) for all my other e-mails. I am really confused!
This is sort of generic "fix all" for when you receive that message in IMAP email accounts on the iPad.
Check the primary outgoing mail server username and password and make sure that they are in the settings even if it says that they are optional.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it works.
If it doesn't work, try deleting the account, restart the iPad and start all over again.
