How do I customize the toolbar in my address book in Leopard? Is it gone?

My old Ibook with tiger crashed and I upgraded to a macbook pro with leopard. It appears that I can't customize the toolbar on the address book? I used to have actions (send email, configure, etc) on the address book in my old tiger system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Skip

Hi Skip
Yes, Apple removed the "Actions" icon from Address Book in Leopard. You have to use the "Send email" option that appears when you click on "Work" or "Home" next to the email address on a contact page. Similarly "iChat". I'm not sure about "Configure", but you can use the Edit button at the botttom of the window to change a contact's details.

How do I restore the toolbar to my address book file?

I was cleaning out old addresses and setting up a collected address folder within address book. I clicked on something and now I have no toolbar. How to I get it back?

The universal keystroke for revealing hidden toolbars is the '''alt key''' or '''F10'''.
Press one of these to make the Menu Bar appear. Select '''View-Toolbars''' and turn on the missing toolbars.
You have to do this in the window where the toolbar is missing since all windows have different toolbars.

How do you customize the toolbar in Windows XP?

How do you customize the toolbar in Windows XP? When I right click on the menu bar the "Customize..." option is there but it does absolutely nothing.
Which brings me to the rhetorical question as to why it was necessary to shuffle everything around, was it broken? Did it not work? Since 2006 I've moved my mouse pointer almost instinctively to the left side of the screen, now all of a sudden I have to go right, is there a point?
This is like supermarkets that as soon as you have figured out where everything is, they shuffle everything around and now you are stuck in mystery shopping. At least they have economic reasons. Meanwhile Firefox seems disposed to make itself look more like Chrome, but hey if I wanted Chrome I'd get it.

Nope... Thanks, but Safe Mode does not do the trick. Oh sure you can move the buttons around and rearrange things to your liking, unfortunately it does not stay that way once you get out of Safe Mode.
I guess if you use an XP machine you are doomed to use FF's interpretation of what it should look like, which is ass backwards from what it has been for the past FIVE YEARS!!! Why not? It seems XP users are now the Freddo's of computing.
Someone should go to you developer's homes move everything around, forks in the basement, beds in the bathroom, TV up in the attic with the mice, dining table outside on the porch, see how you like it.

How can I customize the toolbar when using the attribute browser

In CVI 2012, the toolbar changes depending on the environment, e.g. it is different for the source window and the UI editor. The toolbar can be customized using the menu Options / Toolbar...
Unfortunately, when using the attribute browser of the UI editor, another toolbar is displayed, i.e. not the UI editor toolbar.... I would have assumed that the attribute browser belongs to the UI editor, obviously it doesn't... So how can I customize the toolbar when using the attribute browser?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Luis,
It's nice to have you back
Thank you for the clarification, so I'll elaborate a bit more: In the regular workspace toolbar, I have a disk symbol to save the file. This symbol is gone in the attribute browser...
So I have three different toolbars, for source code (workspace), UI editor, and the UI editor displayed but the attribute browser clicked on (selected)...
Thanks
Wolfgang

How do I get the groups in my address book to my contact lists in Mail

The groups in my address book are displayed in my contacts list in Mail

Hi. I honestly am not sure how I transferred it (I am dealing with several issues in getting the new iMac set up right now) . . . I think I exported from one and imported to the other. Maybe that is why the notes did not come over even though the contacts did. But I tried your method and it seemed to work so thatnk you very much!

How can I print out a small size address book in Leopard?

How can I print out my address book in Leopard, preferably in pocket size and preferably
without each card having a separate page?

First off, you've posted in the Tiger forum, even though your profile says you're running Snow Leopard. Even worse, you're asking about Leopard. You need to be sure you post your questions in the corrrect forum.
As for the question itself, all you have to do is select the Group you want to print in Address Book, choose Print, select 'Pocket Address Book' from the pop-up Style menu, check the attributes you want included for each contact, and the paper size you want to use and Print.

How do I customize the toolbar if I've removed the "view" tab from the toolbar?

I was trying to customize my toolbar while working in excel and accidentally removed all of the tabs along the top toolbar (File, Edit, View, etc). I can't figure out how to put them back as all of the help threads begin with "go to the View tab".

Hi, ryanfromtorrance.
I think I'm understanding what you did.
You will need to start in the Excel menu bar at the very top of your screen. The one with the  in the far left corner. Find the View menu there. It should be three over from the  icon.
Click View > Customize Toolbars and Menus...
When the Customize Toolbars and Menus window opens, click the Toolbars and Menus tab, then make sure the checkbox next to Standard is checked.
That should return the display of your toolbar when you close that customize window.
I hope this is helpful.

How do I customize the toolbars to put the Navigation and Menu toolbars on the SAME line? I want to maximize browser window space on my laptop.

I want to keep my browser tools very minimalistic so as to maximize the browser window space on my small laptop screen. I only need the navigation and menu toolbars, plus a Google search window. I'd like to put them all on the same line on the toolbar. Right now the navigation toolbar defaults to sit below the menu bar.
Is there any way to combine them on one line? Thanks.

How can I copy the contents of an address book group

Does anyone know how I can copy the entire contents of an Address Book group and paste the results into an e-mail to send to others? When I select the group and then the "copy" tool, it copies only the first address in the group. If I select "select all", it selects all e-mail addresses everywhere, not just the ones in the intended group.

He did not want to add them all to his address book; he simply wanted to have my long list of staff email addresses without having to type it or create it himself, like this: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. We used to use an email application called Eudora which allowed you to copy and paste group lists as though they were just text characters. With Mail (and Address Book), everything is connected to everything else and a group list is actually a set of flagged contacts from your "All Contacts" list.

How Do I edit the Categories in Office Address Book?

I have figured how to assign a category to an address in Office Address Book, but I can't edit the categories in order to create the categories I need.
When I open an address book entry, the categories pull-down menu is in the top bar, when I open up the menu, the choice to assign categories is there, right below it, it says "Edit Categories" but it is impossible to select it.
Any thoughts on how to edit the categories?

Ahhhh...Yeah. That should be automatically set up from the day you signed up. For example - if you signed all the digital paperwork with Honeydew Melon Publishing. The seller would then be Honeydew Melon Publishing.
One thing I can say is that although I'm big an Apple user for quite some time they've really dropped the ball on their service to smaller and independent publishers. You can't actually talk to anyone from what I've found, although I'd love to be corrected since I have a pending issue that's over a week old and have no idea what I've done for them to Remove my books from sale. And I had an earlier issue where they didn't respond for nearly 4 weeks.
If I find out something soon I'll let you know and vice versa. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how to contact someone or to get them to set up a forum, similar to this, for publishers where they can respond to us directly and we can work with each other to find solutions.

How can I block the access to my address book?

So yeah, the title says it. I actually wanna know how to manage the access of apps to my address book. Just like the location services.
Is there any control panel? I was googling and searching on my iPhone but couldn't find anything.
albin

Yes, I am. But this example with Instagram doesn't sound like asking for permissions to me. I think that any app can load the contact list in the background and no one would notice it. I mean this is not right. However, it seems like I can't do anything. So yeah, thank you guys for your support.

How can I customize the toolbar to show undo button??

Is there a DW equivilent to the "standard toolbar" in CFB2, because I am looking for a way to put the most basic editing commands of Undo/Redo/Copy/Paste and do not see a way to add these to a visible toolbar. All I see is I have to click the Edit menu, then select the command I want. I will be really disappointed if I cannot include basic commands like this on a toolbar. Please don't tell me about keyboard shortcuts, I know they are there but I like to have the visual buttons up on my toolbar, too. Save All and Word Wrap would be another command I current have on a DW toolbar but can't see how to customize this in CFB2. Am I missing something?

I have news for you, some good, some bad, and some where you can still help your cause.
First, I'll note that I raised this issue for you at RIAcon this weekend, when Hemant (Engineering Director for CF and CFB) spoke on CFB2. He agreed that adding more buttons for folks who prefer that could be helpful.
I have to admit, though, that I couldn't remember which key it was, and thought it was a bold. Someone pointed out that there was indeed a button bar for such HTML things (though behind a tab you have to notice and open). I think that may have then deflected Hemant's concern for this.
So I have added him here as a CC (don't know if he's a member of this forum. BTW, Hemant, if you're not, then any reply won't get to the group, but if you add me in manually ([email protected]), I'll forward your reply if I don't see it appear in the forum.)
And as I noted, DCwebGuy--why don't people use first names in these forums? -- you could and should at least raise this as a feature request. There may well be other who are with you. The bugbase does support voting, and you could reply to this note with your bug id to give it more pub.
Moving on (and not to be snarky but instead speaking sincerely) while you say you're a hard-core coder, I'd think there must be "designer-like" features of DW that you like (way beyond this one button click issue) enough to lead you to prefer to stay there and not leverage the many features in CFB that are NOT in DW. If that's not so, then perhaps you didn't see enough of what CFB could do for you.
I'll say this: some features (like some elements of the fantastic code assist) only work if you go the extra steps of enabling a server connection and things like that. If you don't do that, you won't see and appreciate these unique new features that DW does NOT have. Have you at least seen demos or read the guides to fully appreciate what you're forgoing? It's not "just another editor".
But again, DW certainly does some things that CFB does not (and may never), so it really different strokes for different folks.
Finally, if it really were just about keyboard shortcuts vs mouse clicks, I'll suggest that, at least with undo, ctrl-z is used in nearly every app out there, so it's not like it's a burden to learn and use it. That's a terrible way to end, as I'm sure it sounds snarky. Again, I don't mean it. I'm just saying what I'm sure some reading this would think, so if you're moved to respond feel free to do so for their sake--but please take a breath first if this got your blood pressure up. And please don't shoot the messenger.

How do I customize the toolbars to show in english?

My firefox toolbar is shown in spanish, what I have to do to change its view to english?

What do you mean with "Firefox toolbar" -- do you mean the entire UI of Firefox, including menus, or do you just mean the default list of bookmarks that came with Firefox? It sounds like you have installed the Spanish version of Firefox at some point, either in the past or recently.
If this is a fresh install, I would advice you to reinstall Firefox and be sure to pick the English version from www.mozilla.org/firefox. You will also need to create a new profile, since your bookmarks and other settings will be kept even if you reinstall, so they will otherwise remain in Spanish. See here for info about how to create a new profile: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?s=profile&r=0&e=sph&as=s
