How do i delete contacts in my mail address book

how do i delete contacts in my mail address book

You don't, if you're referring to addresses that appear when you click the "Address" button.. Mail is just reading from the Address Book application's data. Open the standalone Address Book and you can edit and remove contacts there.
If you want to clear the list of addresses that pop up as suggestions but that are not in your address book, go to the Window menu and select "Previous Recipients". You can edit or clear that list from there.
Regards.

How can I delete a primary e-mail address and replace it with a excisting Apple ID?

An email address can only be used one account at a time, so if you want to replace it with an email address that is currently being used on another account then you will need to remove it from that account first before trying to put it on that account. You should be able to change the email address either by logging into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, or via http://appleid.apple.com

How do i import contacts from iPhone to address book?

how do i import contacts from iphone to address book?

Ok, I knew it was a long shot. The merge prompt normally is only available when you first sync your device. I'm not sure how things got out of sync in the first place, but you may have to manually delete the contacts from your phone that you don't want there at this point. I would try adding a new contact on your phone followed by sync to confirm that it's picking up new contacts though.
Unfortunately I need to go now, so if you're still having problems I suggest your start a new post in the forum to see if someone else can help. Good luck!

How do I delete Smart Group in my address book

Deleting contacts or groups from address book impossible

How can I delete contacts or groups from my address book? The corresponding menu items "delete contact" or "delete group" are greyed. Pressing the "delete" buttom only works for contacts. But the deleted contact isn't really erased. There remains an untitled contact at the end of the list that I cannot delete. Not very nice :-(
Does anybody knows some help?

I can't recreate that on my Mac, so I suspect something got corrupted in your preferences.
Quit Contacts.
Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library".
Then go to yor Preferences folder and and drag com.apple.AddressBook.plist to your Desktop.
Relaunch Contacts and test.

Can't find how to get iPad Contacts into new iMac Address Book

I've got a brand new iMac and if I look in the import feature of Address Book it wants to import from a file on my iMac but there's no iPad listed there even though it's plugged in. iTunes only seems to sync first time from iMac to iPad but all my contact details are on the iPad. Surely there is there some way to migrate my iPad Contacts to my iMac address book isn't there?

Data to and from your iPad is managed via iTunes. With your iPad connected to your iMac, open iTunes and then select the Info Pane. There you can choose to sync data. I would advise that you first right click on the name of your iPad in the iTunes Devices list and choose BackUp. Just in case anything goes funky!
From the iPad 2 manual:
Info Pane
The Info pane lets you configure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and web browser.
• Contacts
You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Microsoft Outlook Express), Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one application at a time.)
If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve set up syncing.

How can I copy my FF e-mail address book to newly installed T-Bird?

Win7, 32bit, PC. I'm moving to a new ISP (i.e. from BT to Plusnet). I've been using Firefox as both browser and e-mail client but to help me maintain clarity I want to use T-Bird as e-mail client. I would like to copy my address book from Firefox to Thunderbird but cannot find out how to do it. Can you help, please?

Hello Humsh!
Not sure if I got your question correctly. I believe you were using Firefox to access a webmail from your current ISP (as far as I know Firefox has no built-in mail client)?
If your provider was BT (as you mentioned above) you need to export your address book and then import it to Thunderbird. I've check that BT uses Yahoo mail as backend (bt.yahoo.com) and their instructions on exporting contacts' list can be found here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/manage/manage-10.html
Once exported, in Thunderbird go to '''Tools|Import''' and follow instruction on the screen. Also you might need to configure your Thunderbird to use configuration from your new ISP first. Check this help pages:

Hope above can help you move to Thunderbird smoothly!
Cheers!

Deleting contact's picture in Address Book (so frustrated)

I can't seem to accomplish this. Each time I delete the contact's picture, it immediately reappears.
I think the picture was automatically added back when I was using Adium. (I've since swiped Adium from my computer and only use iChat and Mail.)
I've deleted a file for her contact in ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/, however each time I delete that and then proceed to delete the picture from the contact, the picture not only reappears, but so does the file in this cache folder! This contact is the only one in which I am experiencing this strange behavior, and it is the only contact with a file in that cache folder. Yikes!
I've also tried deleting the contact from my iChat, and even deleting the contact from my address book and re-adding. When I re-add, the picture reappears. Grrrrrr.........
Any ideas?
Also.. this is a contact with a MobileMe account. I too have a MobileMe account. The picture crap only happens when I add their MobileMe email to the contact, and the picture deletes itself if I delete the MobileMe email. Again, this only happen with this single contact, even though I have other contacts with MobileMe addresses in my Address Book.

How to get the contact photos from the address book on the ipod ??

Hello !
I figured out that it was available to sync the address book (on Mac OS)with the contact photos and find them on your ipod nano chromatic... But I have Windows and I can't make it work with Outlook. I can sync it with itunes and have the contact names and few infos but not the pictures, there is just a grey silhouette instead of the contact photo. Is there anybody that know how to get the contact picture on the ipod (with Windows OS) ?
Thanks a lot in advance !
Hyrekia

Hooray !! I have found how to do it !! There is a new option now on itunes when you sync your ipod with outlook. You just have to check the box entitled "add the contact pictures". I'm not sure it was there before, but I did an update today !!
I'm really glad !!

How to hide some contacts from Yahoo's address book?

I have recently acquired the iPhone 5 and am very impressed with it. I like the idea of using contacts from the iPhone, iCloud, GMail and Yahoo and linking them together in a unified contact, very cool idea!
The problem that I have is that I have some contacts in my address book in Yahoo that are there just so that messages from those email addresses are not bounced to the Junk folder. I want to keep them around but I do not want them clogging up my iPhone.
I can delete them from the iPhone but does this delete them from my yahoo account as well or is there a way of just hiding them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That is a cop out, there is obviously a need to have unified contacts otherwise Apple would not have gone to the trouble of providing the feature in the first place. The hole in the feature (in my opinion) is that it assumes that every contact in Yahoo, Facebook and GMail are equal when they are not.
I have a workaround but it is not pretty, I created a dummy entry and linked every email address that I am not interested in to this contact, so they are "hidden" as such in a single entry. The problem with this approach is that it takes a long time to get everything in the unified contact (lots of scrolling), also, there is no way of managing this through iTunes (on a PC in my instance).
Bottom line is that it is a pain (you said that it would be) but there is no real alternative unless anyone else knows otherwise.

How to import a contact into an existing address book? contact is exported from outlook.

I have created 3 address books. I want to import new contacts into these address books selectively.
I tried importing a contact that was exported from Outlook as a v card. It worked fine except that it created the new contact as yet another new address book!

Importing contacts does create a new address book. Then just drag and drop the contacts into the book of your choice and delete the new book when it is empty.

How do I delete everything in my iMac address book?

I imported a csv file but it omitted the email addresses. I want to try importing it again but when I select all it greys out the delete option. I am a newbie to Apple so this is all completely foreign to me after 20 years of Windows......
I also am having problems with Office 2008. It won't import everything from Apple Mail though it tells me it has. I also can't delete from its address book either!
Where can I find the list of software so I can uninstall Office and try reinstalling again? I am having real issues....................!

OK. Then try rebuilding the database that Address Book uses.
To do that, first quit Address Book.
Then open the Library folder in your home user folder (Hard drive > Users > yourusername > Library). If you're using Lion, that Library folder is hidden but easy to get into - while in Finder, hold down the Option key while opening the Go menu, then select Library from the list.
In that Library folder, locate and open the Application Support folder, then the folder named AddressBook. In that folder locate the file named
AddressBook-v22.abcddb
and throw it away.
Restart the machine, then open Address Book and test.

PC Companion 2.01, How to sync outlook contacts instead of windows address book

After the first installation of PC Companion the program uses the outlook contacts database to sync my phone. There was no problem.
After some weeks the program uses the windows phone book (wab-file) of outlook express instead of the original outlook 2000 contacts database.
The picture (image1) shows the sync target on my system: In this case the program uses the windows address book instead of the outlook.
I am sure, some weeks ago, I have seen the outlook icon on this place. In the meantime I have installed the media go extensions.
In the settings I can only select windows address book.
In advanced settings of pc companion only outlook express (windows address book) is available.
How can I configure or hack the program to use outlook 2000 contacts database again?
Is there any registry key or settings file?
Uninstall an new install does not help.
