How can i delete address book

i seem to have duplicate address books.how can i delete one of them?

Same as the other guy.
1. Identify which accounts have the contacts that you wish to delete.
2. Identify which account you want to house your contacts in
3. When you are sure that you have a backup file to import select All Contacts and delete all
You'll have to convert the .csv file to a vCard file, there are online converters available (Google for one) as Contacts does not support .csv.
If you use iCloud to propogate your contacts to iPhones etc you must house them in the iCloud account (on your Mac)
One more thing:
Export Address Book
How are you exporting, there are only 2 options (archive or export) neither of which produces a .csv file. Export provides a vCard file, you'll need to cvonvert it to .csv and then back to vCard after editing.
I would also (first job) Export a Contacts archive, just in case of errors along the line.

  • How can i delete some books from ibook?

    How can i delete some books from ibook? It says: this book can't be opened. The book is corrupt. I can't open and I can't delete it

    I was unable to delete a book sample from my iPhone 5s running iOS 7.  This seems to be what worked for me.  I went to the Library and clicked "edit" in upper right side of the screen.  I then tapped one time on the book I wanted to remove and a blue check appeared at the bottom right corner of that book (presumably you could tap several at a time)  Anyway, when the blue check is on the book, you will see in the upper left of the screen the word "Delete" (mine was in red) I clicked that and then a confirming dialog came up from the bottom of the screen with the choices of "delete" or "cancel".  I chose "delete" and the book was gone.  Hope this helps.

  • How can i backup Address Book & iCal using TM?

    How can i backup Address Book & iCal using TM?

    just back up your whole computer and those things will be backed up along with everything else. Time Machine is not well suited for cherrypicking just a few things to back up and it's a bad idea anyway. if you insist on backing up just those two things back up homedirectory/library/application support/address book and homdirectory/library/calendars.

  • How can I import address book from thunderbird on another computer

    I just purchased a new laptop and have dowloaded Thunderbird for my e-mail as that was what I was using on desktop. I have 2 e-mail accounts, my personal e-mail addresses came thru with no difficulty however my other account the contacts in address book didn't come thru. So question is how can I get address book imported for this account too. My desktop is Windows XP and my laptop is Windows 8
    thanks for any help

    The neat thing to do would be to copy the profile from the XP machine to the W8 machine. This would have transferred your messages, your account settings and your Address Book and much else.
    Given that you have set up Thunderbird and have started using it, copying over the profile may not now be terribly attractive for you.
    So, instead, you can export and import your Address Books.
    On the XP computer, open the Address Book, select an address book (e.g. Personal Address Book), select '''Tools|Export''', select the name and location of a file to contain the exported data, choose LDIF and then Save. Repeat for each required address book. Give your LDIF files simple but meaningful names, such as PAB.ldif and CA.ldif. Don't use, for instance, ''Personal Address Book.ldif'', as this will create a second address book with the same name as one of the defaults and you won't be able to easily tell which is which.
    Put the exported LDIF files where the W8 computer can see them, e.g. a USB memory stick.
    On the W8 machine, open the address book, Tools|Import and select an exported LDIF file. It will import and create a new address book; you'll probably want to move the Contact data back to the usual address book. You can select all (ctrl+a) then drag-and-drop the imported Contacts to the preferred address book. Repeat for each LDIF file.
    Having said that, I don't understand what you mean by "my personal e-mail addresses came thru with no difficulty however my other account the contacts in address book didn't come thru"; unless you have moved the profile folder over, I don't understand why ''any'' contacts should have transferred.
    If you have in fact moved the profile folder, then I'm puzzled as to why the transfer of address books has been incomplete. However the export and import route should be able to reclaim the missing address book(s).

  • HT5544 How can I delete a book entirely? I don't even want it listed in Purchased Books anymore.

    How can I delete a book entirely? I don't even want it listed in Purchased Books collection, but it won't allow me to actually Delete it. I can select it for deletion but when I press Delete nothing happens. It deletes off iTunes on my computer with no problem. All the articles I've found just say it will stay in Purchased in case I want to download it again, but I won't so I want it gone completely.

    You can delete it from the bookshelf on your device via the Edit button at the top of the bookshelf.
    You can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them via your computer's iTunes so that they don't show for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

    Hi! how can I delete a book from the iCloud? I bought the wrong book ... is for adults and I have kids...so

    The most comprehensive delete method I know about is to delete the book from iTunes on the computer you sync your iPad with.  You'll be asked if you're sure, and it will be deleted from your iPad and any other i-Device you sync to.
    I think that's the best you can do.

  • How can i reinstall address book

    Does anyone know how to reinstall the address book in Lion?
    Most tutorials I've seen assume that you have an installation disk, which Lion obviously doesn't have.
    I keep getting the message that I cannot delete or change the Address Book as it is an essential app. It seems to be corrupted and I cannot open it at all.

    No - that didn't work. I have the error message in case that helps:

    You probably can't, but you can start by posting your queston in the correct forums...the OS X Mail and Address Book forums, as this forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to your question in any way.

  • How can I import address books from Thunderbird to Mail?

    I had to use Thunderbird for all my Mail, because I cannot import about 10 different e-mail address lists with a total of about 300
    addresses (contacts) into the Mail application nor into the Contacts Application.  Every other e-mail application, and every server
    supports imports like this. 
    Apple appears to have no solution either.  On Apple Support site for Mail and Contacts, it says "Support temporarily not available"
    and said so for weeks.  I tried to import into Contacts, using Thunderbird address book files converted to ..Idif  format and Contacts
    imported them import without any fuzz.  The folders appeared in Contacts  as sub-folder the same name I had in the export files.
    After the import I quit both Mail and Contacts and restarted my MacbookAir, it runs on OS 10.8.5., Mail is version 6.6.
    I opened up Mail and the new sub-folders were listed in its Address Book window,  However when I clicked ao any of them, they
    would not open.    I opened the Contacts application, and the folders were still there but when I tried to open the they were empty.
    Is there a way to import those addresses, so they will show up?

    Thanks for trying to help but .mbox is used for mailboxes, not address lists (Contacts).
    I understand that Apple Mail and Contacts use .csv files for their lists, and I was able to
    import my first Contact List using that type of File, but then was only table to get the name
    the content of one List imported.
    Last thing I tried, I used my Webmail Server which can import all address books (Contacts) and
    export them across all sorts of different e-mail applications (they list about 10 different types)
    and yes, the only missing is Apple Mail.
    Looks like I am stuck with having to use Thunderbird, because I Mail will not import my
    Contacts.
