How can I set Address Book to stop auto importing all addresses

My Addresss Book seems to add any and all email addresses, willy nilly, from emails sent me. I have over 3000 entries , most of which are addresses I do not know.
I want this to stop.
What setting do I use? Where? I only want addresses which I decide to add
Advice will be very welcome.
Thanks and Happy New Year to all Mac users!

First off Firefox is an Internet browser and does not deal with email addresses or have an address book to add them to. Secondly I cannot think of a good reason to add the address of each piece of spam to the Thunderbird address book.
There are addons that will pick out addresses from incoming email and add them to the Thunderbird address book. I suggest you search through the add on list for one that fits your needs.

  • How can I set the program to automaticaly send recieved email addresses to my address book?

    As the question asks, how can I set the program to automatically add new email address from messages to my address book. Other email programs can be set up to do this. If this can't be done in Firefox, why not. It's the best email program otherwise.

  • How can I set a book to open full-page?

    I can't track the information I'm looking for, so I need to ask:
    How can I set a book to open full-page and not with the graphic table-of-contents? I'd like to lead in with a video (when the book is first launched), and have the video hand off to the copyright page, full page, not where the reader has to pick it from the graphical table of contents.
    Many thanks for your help!

    I'm a frequent user of the Reminders app but I want to set a reminder that will automatically open another app.
    Maybe I should make a suggestion to apple to include it in the next iOS update.

  • How can I set up an SMS group so that all group members can dial a group number and have a text sent out to all members of the group

    How can I set up an SMS group so that all group members can dial a group number and have a text sent out to all members of the group
    This would be an SMS group similar to an email listserv but running on the SMS network
    I have seen private individuals offering this service
    It seems strange to me that no internet site like Apple, Yahoo or Google offers this as a free service much as the email group services are free services.

    I think the app GroupMe might do what you want. You might also try contacting your carrier. My carrier offered some fancy group texting service for a while but they never really advertised it so, unless you asked, you never would have known. But, GroupMe is available in the app store. There are lots of other apps that also do group texting but it seems to be the one that gets recommended the most.

  • How can I set the insert date to auto update in Pages 5.2.2

    how can I set the insert date to auto update in Pages 5.2.2
    I am attempting to have the date in header auto update in a Pages file.
    I can insert it, but where is the AUTO UPDATE selection
    OS10.9.4
    thank you

    Apple never included the auto-update feature for dates in Pages v5.2.2. You would have to single-click the date, and deliberately update it.
    If you have Pages ’09 v4.3 in /Applications/iWork '09, then it will allow you to configure auto-update of the date field. Right-click on the date, set the format, and click the selection for automatically update on open.

    You are writing that in the perspective of having read about it here already. Repeated often enough that you encountered it somewhere in the posts.
    Users are flooding in here and don't know any of this. Of course we have to repeat everything endlessly.
    Because I like to give precise, understandable and workable answers to repeated questions, and Apple doesn't allow sticky posts here, I created a separate forum which users can consult to look up real answers, and contribute for themselves if they have something valuable to add:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/
    There is a section purely devoted to Pages 5. Add whatever answers you feel will lighten the problems of Apple's 'upgrades'.

    * Where have they acknowledged anything?
    ** They have barely anything listed, compared to the massive list of deleted features, and nothing but an extraordinarily long time frame considering they created the problems here and now. Apple has not said they will do anything at all about fixing the real issues, the biggest of which is that the new iWork apps break virtually all the work of existing users.

  • HT1373 how can you set up another iTunes account but keep all your purchases and music from a previous account

    how can you set up another iTunes account but keep all your purchases and music from a previous account

    An iTunes account is something you log into online to buy music.
    An iTunes library is a collection of media and other items (including apps) on your computer.  This is what you see when you open iTunes.
    So, do you mean account or library?  You can set up a new iTunes account but all your purchases made in that account will remain in the old account and cannot be moved.  You can set up a new library by starting iTunes and immediately hold down the option key.

  • How can i set the book marks below the address bar like IE9

    Dear Sir, I am a new user for firefox, now i am using firefox 4.0 beta version. In this how can is place book marks in below the address bar like IE8 OR IE9

    In Firefox 4 you can press F10 or use "Firefox > Customize" to make the Menu Bar and other toolbars visible and remove the check-mark on "Tabs on Top" to place the tab bar in the old position.
    You only see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).
    If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.

  • How can I set up a keyboard shortcut for my email address?

    I'm not sure if there is a way to do this but I am getting tired of constantly typing in my email address.
    Can I set up a shortcut somehow? I currently do the copy-and-paste technique. Now that I have changed my email provider and the address is so much longer I could really use this shortcut. Thanks

  • How can I set a 'default' watermark to appear on all my photos?

    I've started processing photos on my husband's computer, using his LR.  He passed away recently.  I've created a number of new catalogs, with probably 1000 photos.
    I just emailed some to family, and discovered that his watermark/copyright is on my pictures, which is not a good thing since he passed away.  
    What I would like to do is:
    1.  Change the watermark on those 1000 or so of my photos that are contained within 8 catalogs
    2.  Set up a default so that my watermark appears on all future photos.
    I've gone through the Watermark Editor and made my own custom setting, which shows in the list of custom settings.  My watermark then appears on the photo in the preview within the Watermark Editor window.  I hit 'done' and export the photo to my desktop, but my husband's watermark still appears on it.
    I've fiddled with this for a couple of hours and then looked for help online.  That's how I found your forum.
    Thank you for any assistance.

    G'day 5508,
    Some thoughts. Try System settings first (this may not be the culprit).
    System Preferences > Language and Region > Advanced > Currency > Australian Dollar
    I can only adjust the currency cell by cell, column by column page by page.
    Forgive my stupidity, but if the currency is a cell format in the template, can you select all currency cells at once, then change the currency? You will have to do this separately for each Table, but within a Table, you can select a range of cells. Quicker than cell by cell.
    Once you have reformatted the document that emerged from that template, save the document as a template with the same name to overwrite the old template.
    Hope this helps, mate.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • We have three Ipads in our house.  We have one itunes account with multiple devices like two Iphones and Apple TV.   My question is about our three Ipads.   How can I set up the imessaging and facetime on all three devices while only using one Itunes acct

    Okay.  We have three Ipads in our house with only one Itunes account.   When I go into imessaging and facetime on each of the devices, it wants to start switching my wife's cell phone and then the three emails associated with each Ipad to the contact information for all of the Ipads.    As of this morning, only the imessaging and facetime are turned on my wife's iphone and ipad.   My kids imessaging and facetime is turned off.     Do you really have to have an itunes account for each device to make then work???    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Ryan

    There is only one solution. Each user must have their own separate user account. All of their respective data would be contained in their separate user accounts. This also means each will have a separate iTunes Library. If you all use the same third-party apps, then each will have to purchase their own copies under their own Apple IDs. Some data sharing is possible. See:
    iTunes- How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one

    iTunes- How to share music between different accounts on a single computer

  • How can I get my graph to stop auto-scaling?

    I am not a new programmer and I know how to make a graph auto-scale... IF I want it to.  However, I have a cluster of graphs (strip charts and waveform graphs act the same) that take in values and update each time.  My issue is that I have a static window size and all of the graph start out 'square' with each other.  Then based on how large the y-axis numbers of each different graph get the whole graph grows and shrinks accordingly.  So it kind of makes my graphs look like a sideways equilizer settings type thing from my stereo.
    I'd like to keep the x-axis from changing size based on the y-axis number size.  If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.  I can send a sample of the problem if necessary.
    Thanks,
    Barney

    This link was ok... but it still did not solve my problem.  I saw the 'Advanced... Reset Scale Layout' but that made my graphs larger than I'd like them.  So when I resized them the problem persisted.  Also, I don't really have the option to swap sides on my y-axis. 
    It worked fine in LabVIEW version 6.1 but since the upgrade to LabVIEW 7.1 it hasn't worked.
    I've attached a VI.  Note how the left side of the graph grows and shrinks as the graph progresses. 
    Any ideas?
