How can I broadcast a changed email address to my contacts list

how can I broadcast a changed email address to my contacts list?

There is one thing to be careful about though when using the "Send Updates" feature in Address book to notify your contacts about address/contact info changes. 
Addressbook will automatically include your personal vCard at the end of the email message that goes out to your list.  I did not realize this at the time and it royally burned me.  My default address card had a lot of extra personal information contained within it that I did not want people to see.  There was no indication that the vCard would automatically be included nor any way to disable this feature just before sending the "update" email.  As a result, my list received my private information and the only thing I could do was to send a new email to the list manually, minus the vCard attachment, requesting that they please delete the first email in favor of this new one.  I'm hoping that most will disregard the vCard, though I fear the damage has been done.
I later discovered that the preferences now include a checkbox for enabling/disabling a "private me card", which allows you to control which content is included in your vCard information.  This is handy now, but I wished the default had been to have vCards turned off / not included automatically, since it was a feature I didn't discover until AFTER my updates had been sent!

  • How can I add a 4th email address to a Contact?

    I sync my iPhone with Google Contacts.  On my Mac Pro using Gmail I can keep adding personal email addresses, however, my iPhone is only allowing 3 per contact.  Is there a way of adding a 4th email address?

    I don't use Google contacts, but I do have an iPhone 4, running 4.3.5. I am syncing to Outlook 2010 on my PC. When I go into Contacts on the iPhone, and select a contact, then go to Edit, I have the option to add another email address as an "Other" under email. I tested it and was able to add a 4th and 5th one. However, the restrictions in Outlook do not allow for the syncing of the addtional email addresses into Outlook, it will only take 3. Go into your contacts and check under the email section after you touch Edit and see if there is a space that is titled "Other" and has Email next to it in grey. The only other thing I can think of is if you have Google Contacts set up as Exchange and there is some type of restriction that way.

    If you know the answers to your security questions then the steps half-way down the page that you posted from should let you reset edit it.

    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use those steps on the page that you posted from to edit/add a rescue email address for potential future use, or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • How can I remove an icloud email address if i have forgotten the password?

    How can I remove an ICloud email address that's on my IPhone if I have forgotten the password?  I have tried to reset the password through Apple ID but I no longer have access to the email address and its not recognising my birthday

    If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases'  - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:

    If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

  • How can I fake my FROM email address to look like I'm sending it from work?

    I want to not have to log into my work webmail everyday and I want to just use MobileMe. I have all my work mail forwarded to MobileMe. The problem is that I don't want to ever have to log into work mail to send a message. How can I fake my from email address to look like I'm sending it from work?

    You can't do that with MobileMe. MobileMe's mail servers will only accept senders from their own domains (@mac.com and @me.com). No other senders, not even from configured personal domains, will be accepted.
    You will either have to use your companies SMTP server or, if not public available, your companies webmail.

  • How can I edit my recovery email address if my password had been locked?, How can I edit my recovery email address if my password had been locked?

    How can I edit my recovery email address if my password had been locked? I couldn't receive the reset my password email because I think my recovery email address was invalid.

    The idea of a Recovery email is so the rightful owner accomplishes the recovery, so I don't know of a process to edit that address if you don't know the Apple ID and associated Password.

  • How can I combine a old email address to a new mail address

    Had to change email address.
    But when i bay books on the new mail the old ones i can not read 
    I am getting a message" Document is licensed for a different user account"
    Any ideas how to over come this

    This subject comes up often, and if you do some searching on the Forum,
    you'll see a lot of different comments.  The bottom line, though, is that
    the ebooks are not transferrable from your old email address to the new
    one.  If the ebooks were purchased, there's a chance that you can go back
    to the seller and discuss the situation with them, and they may give you
    another download to your new email address.  If the ebooks are in the
    public domain, you can go back and download them again to your new email
    address.

  • HT204053 how can i move an icloud email address from one ipod to another?

    Hi
    My kids have ipods and wanted icloud activated.  Foolishly I set up an icloud email account but used my son's name on my daughter's ipod.  How can I switch the icloud email account to my son's ipod?
    Thanks,

    I don't really understand iCloud, but I have an Apple ID since both my kids are underage (8 and 11).  They share my Apple ID, but have different Ipods.  Can/Should I have separate iCloud emails for them?  To recap, I have 1 Apple account, but have 2 kids, a boy and a girl.  How do I have separate id's for their individual ipods using icloud when I have one Apple ID?
