How do I add a new contact to my address book?

I want to add a name & email address to my Thunderbird address book, but I am not sure how to do it. Can someone help me?

Did they email you? Click the star beside the name in the message header.
Other wise. click on the address book on the toolbar and them on the add contact button on the address book toolbar.

  • How do i delete all my contacts in mail address book

    how so i delete all my contacts in mail address book, i have 1,042,000 blank contacts.

    In Lion, the user's LIBRARY folder is hidden. So, it's not visible automatically.
    Open Finder.
    At the menu items at the top of your screen, click on GO (where you see Finder, File, Edit, View, Go, Help)
    Next within the GO options, select the 'Go to Folder' option. You will see a window open to enter text.
    Enter ~/Library and click the GO button.
    Now you'll be in your user LIBRARY where you need to be to get to your address book file previously mentioned.
    You want to open the Application Support folder then from inside there open the AddressBook folder. Then you can follow Barney's instructions.

  • Messenger Express: How do I add the Directory Server to the address book search tool?

    In Messenger Express (ME) how do I add the Directory Server (DS) to the address book
    search tool?
    <P>
    Edit the globals.pl file. Look for a line similar to: <BR>
    @dirservers = ('MyCompany::phonebook.foo.com::o=FooCorp.,c=US','Four11 Directory::ldap.four11.com::');
    <P>
    Add an entry to the list. The list is comma delimited and each entry is a
    string. The string contains three fields, delimited by a double colon (::). The
    first field is the name you want to appear in the User Interface (UI). The second is
    the hostname of the DS and the third is the Distinguished Name (DN) to use when searching.

    You can't add a new contact to specific group and there is no app for this. 3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone APIs with security concerns being a primary reason, which such a function would require.

  • How do I add a recent call to my address book

    I finally purchased an iPhone, after using a Macbook Pro (before that, a Powerbook) for years. I'm trying to add the number of a recent call to a specific group in my phone's address book, but can't figure out if this is possible. At present, I can add it to my address book, which contains approximately 1,000 entries, but can't add it to my current contact list, which is the one I use for the phone. If I need an app for that, recommendations welcome.
    Thanks!

  • I have an iphone4 and i can only hear calls when i use speakerphone.  I'm trying a master reset but how do i back up my contacts from my address book??

    I have an iphone4 and I can only hear calls when I put them on speakerphone.  The people I'm on the phone with can hear me I just cant hear them.  I am about to try a master reset but how do i backup my contacts from my address book? Does itunes do that when i backed up the rest of the stuff on my phone?

    Back it up in iTunes! Just make a backup of the entire device but make sure you check sync contacts and the option to add contacts from phone to address book on computer.

  • How do you make the icloud contacts push to address book.

    I just updated all my contacts and groups in icloud -- NOT KNOWING that I would not be able to export them. I just need all the email addresses from a particular "group." I found out how to do that really easily this morning from Address Book (to big vcard, then save as CVS, and I was so happy. Then I updated everything, but none of the updates are showing in Address Book. I can't see anyway to make that happen. And there seems to be no way to export contacts from icloud. This is a major morning lost. Do I really have to start all over? By the way, I need the email addresses to do an evite, which is already a week late going out.

    Nevermind. I had lunch and when I came back most of my changes were there. Thanks anyway!

  • Add only one contact email in address book group

    I created a contact group in address book and added some people I knew to it.  However some of my friends have multiple email address.  (like JohnMarino @gmail and JohnMarino@yahoo). Can I limit the contact to only the one email I would like to send it to?

    Yes, as long as you keep your contacts "On Your Mac." Use the "Edit Distribution List" feature in AddressBook to select the address that should be used for the group. If you use iCloud for your contacts, the option is not available. Hasn't been since the intro of Lion.
    There are other compromises to get it to work with Lion, but they are clumsy and generally result in multiple contact listings.

  • How can I export Outlook 2007 contacts to Leopard Address Book application?

    Hi,
    I just bought a MAC and I want to get rid of my PC, but first i want to export my CONTACTS from my Windows MS Outlook 2007 and import them in Leopard Address Book application.
    Any way I can do that ?
    Many thanks !

    I don't know if doing it with single vcards is the way you want to have it. This can be a quite big task when having many contacts.
    In Outlook You can export them as text file. You got to +File - Import and Export+. In the assistent you choose "Export to file". Then you choose "comma seperated (Windows)" In the next step you mark your Contacts folder. Then you choose where you want to save your output file. (I mountet my Documents folder on the mac and saved it there). Finish this assistent.
    Now on the mac you open AdressBook. +File - Import - text+ file and choose then your .csv file. Now in the AdressBook a import window opens where you can set all the fields matching to where Outlook stored the information. But basicly it should work without doing there something. Then you can import all Your Outlook contacts in one run.
    Hope this helps You!

  • In time machine how do I delete an old contact from my address book?

    trying to delete old contacts out of my address book in time machine so there is no trace. Any ideas?

    You cannot delete data in TM, it's a backup app. However in your address book you can delete some contacts and then TM will not back up that data. It's not that big a deal however, what I'd do is remove the contacts you want in the Contacts app and just leave TM alone.

  • How do i transfer my iphone contacts to my address book on mac

    my daughter is trying to sync her iphone contacts to her mac. she has tried seveal times and not able to.

    Don't know why syncing isn't working, but one way she can at least transfer her contacts to her mac is to use the app My Contacts Backup, which will back up the contacts on her phone as an email attachement.  She sends this email to herself, opens it on her mac, then double-clicks on the attachment and the contacts will import to Address Book.

  • HT204053 how do I add a new mac email address

    How do I add a new me.com email address?  With mobileme it seemed like you could add up to 5 email addresses but not quite sure how it works now with icloud.

    With iCloud, you only get one address per iCloud account.  You can create up to 3 alias adress names, but these still receive email to the same inbox (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622).  If you already have a @me address, you should have been assigned a @icloud address too.  This operates like an alias address, but does not count toward your total of 3.
    Also, new iCloud accounts only receive @icloud addresses; @me (and @mac) addresses are no longer available.

  • Don't have Aruba as a country when creating a contact in my address book!

    When creating a new contact in my address book on my iPhone 4, I do not have the option in the Country tab to select Aruba or Curacao or even Bonaire!
    They are not even in the list!
    How can I get these three countries/Islands in the Country list as an option?

    Aruba is NOT an independent country. It is technically part of the Netherlands.

  • Contacts disappear from address book but in messages

    Hi,
    I have an iphone 3g which I had unlocked by the network in Australia and have since moved back to the UK.
    Since placing a UK sim card (o2) in the iphone whenever I add a new contact to my phone book, it does not display in the Phones contact list. However it does show if i search under my messages, and I can then make a call to the number this way.
    A slight but not idea work around is to call the number and then add it to my favorites in address book. Does anyone know why this is happening ? I thought it maybe saving on my sim but have since read that iPhones cannot write to the sim.. Thx

    So in fact Address Book synchronizes with iCloud only, not locally on the Mac.
    And when I sync with iPhone, it syncs with the Mac and not with iCloud.
    No better way t have non updated Address Book.
    I suspect this is another Apple ID mess. Apple resembles Land Rover here (never could properly
    update my Address Book in my GPS contacts from my iPhone)

  • When i add a new contact to my phone, their details are saved in my contact list, but the name doesn't show up when they ring or txt me, how can i change that?

    when i add a new contact to my phone, their details are saved in my contact list, but the name doesn't show up when they ring or txt me, how can i change that?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
