How do I do a search based on a range of dates in Address Book?

In Palm Desktop, when I performed a search, a dialogue window would pop up that gave me a drop down list of every category in my database (ie. date modified, company, first name, last name, etc.).  I could choose to just search for entries that were modified between january 2011 and March of 2011.  I could choose to search for just the entries that were from the city of New York.
How do I taylor a search to just Address Book entries from Jan 2011 to March 2011?  I can perform a smart search in a finder window, but that won't be able to only search Address Book, and it doesn't seem to bring up Address Book entries at all anyway.  Does anyone have any ideas or is this just an insurmountable short coming of Address Book?
Thanks for your help.

Try creating a Smart Group within Address Book with a couple of statements to specify start date and end date.
This criteria I used in this example finds Address Book entries updated after 1/1/2011, and not changed in the last 48 weeks.
Testing on my Address Book this logic located 10 records meeting the criteria of almost 400 total entries over the last 4 years.

  • How do I assign a particular email account of mine to a particular Address-Book contact?

    I have a few email accounts. I am also on several 'Email Lists'.
    when I am reading an email from one of the "Lists" and I want to reply, then I'd like Thunderbird to use the correct email account to match the contact in the address book which is associated with the Email List.
    So how do I assign a particular email account of mine to a particular Address-Book contact?

    Thank you for the reply.
    Thunderbird may do that. Somewhere.
    However, as I test this theory, in my own "Local Folders" area, in all cases, when I hit 'Reply' or reply-all, Thunderbird uses the 'Default' email account of the program Thunderbird, for want of a better description.
    Recall that each incoming Email is filtered as to some criteria then placed in appropriate "Local Folders" named folder.

  • How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book

    How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book? This is happening when I am not on my computer.

    I've been using a local isp and have recently gotten my mac email up and running. I think you are correct about the limitation being from the local isp as I was able to right click and send to all 67 via the Bcc. Good info, thanks.
    I promote the use of Bcc any chance I get. Seems so many out there just don't understand the forward/reply issue where names are scanned from nearly infinite lists of forwarded emails.

  • How do I remove on my mac data from address book

    I want to get rid of my on my mac data from address book locally on my imac and just use the icloud data to populate address book.  Someone else set up my other machines in the office that way, and I want to do it the same on this imac.  How can I do this?
    Thank you.

    Hi Csound1,
    I am stogling with the same issue posted on this discussion.
    Exchange2013 and raw contacts populated on my contacts as well as on the exchange server (I have seeing it using a PC and outlook).
    You sugest to clean on My Mac contacts. Do not set on My Mac as a default account. Following is what I found:
    There is no way to get out the on My Mac account from contacts.
    There is no way set any default account on contacts>preferences>general
    The on My Mac contacts list IS EMPTY and the '-' sign is hidden on the contacts>preferences>accounts.
    When I turn on my Exchange Account on my contacts are downloaded from the server, however, I still not able to set ANY DEFAULT ACCOUNT at all.
    If I leave like it is 2 days later I will have at least a dozen of those expurious emails on my contacts list.
    Thanks,
    Edson

  • How can I get my phone to stop deleting my changes made in Address book without deleting the changes made on the iPhone?

    On my old Macbook whenever I would sync my iphone, if I had changed something on the calendar it gives me the option to choose between the computer event or the iphone event (so lets say I'm out and I changed the time of my appointment on my phone, when I get home and sync my phone I choose to keep the time I changed it to on my phone, not what's on my computer).
    Now... what's happening is I'm getting the message: syncing your contacts will change more than 5% of the contacts on the COMPUTER. So that means, all the bulk changes I just made in address book on the computer are going to get deleted and replaced with what is originally on the phone. That's not what I want. I want to change what's on the phone with the changes I made on the computer in address book. Make sense? How do I do that? Because I don't necessarily want to wipe out everything on the phone because I don't know if that has been transferred to the address book... So If I added some phone numbers within the last month (i don't remember the last time I synced my phone), then I would loose them if I chose to replace information on the phone with what's on the computer (there's an option to do that under info when syncing).
    Does that make sense? Please let me know it this is at all confusing. I'm really trying to resolve this before Saturday early morning ... My mom is going out of town and it's her work phone, so I need to figure this out for her. Thanks a bunch!

        mnjclark,
    I'm glad to hear that you have found a work-a-round so that your device works while making calls meanwhile being connected to Bluetooth to your automobile.
    At this time, based on the way the device was manufactured, there is no setting available that will allow this change to be permanent. When the device is rebooted, the settings may be adjusted which will require you to manually change back to CDMA only mode if needed.

  • Searching AW database for range of dates in AW 6.2.4

    I can no longer use my Microsoftworks 4 on eMac since doing a clean install of OS 10.4.11. Prior to that it worked fine in Classic mode. I copied Works folder from old Mac 6500 via home network using ethernet connection to router. Setup program became corrupted when copying from Mac 6500 to eMac, so now unable to use MSWorks. Database was pure simplicity for copying individual fields to next record, searching for range of dates, and matching records with partial string using "contains" function.
    Now using AW 6.2.4 which is more powerful but not as simple to use. Is it possible to do any of those tasks in AW? If so, how?

    1) copying data into a field in a record from the corresponding field in the preceding record
    Not automatic, but no more complicated than copying the information from the first record, then command-down and command-V; command-down and command-V; command-down and command-V; etc.
    2) matching records containing partial string
    If the partial string is expected in a particular field, use the "Match Records..." dialog from the Organize menu. Looking for records containing the word, "hoopla" in the field named "event", enter the following command: FIND("oop",'event',1)
    -- Note single quotes around the fieldname, and double quotes around text to be found. -- Search multiple fields by imbedding multiple FIND statements in an OR statement.

  • How do you add Blind Copy to the options listed in the mail address book?

    My I-Mac is the 20 inch Intel model running OS 10.4.7 and mail is 2.1.1.
    When trying to forward mail I can chose Bcc by going to "View" and selecting Bcc, but then when I go to the address book to select the names that I want to Bcc there are only two options listed in the address book and they are "To and Cc". The only way that I have been able to set the addresses into the forwarding message is to drag each address from the address book and place it into the Bcc field on the forwarded note. There must be some way to enable the address book to list Bcc. Does anyone know how? Thanks

    Hi Austin,
    Thanks for the response, but you kind of misunderstand my question. I actually want something much simpler than this:
    When the Mail.app Data Detection recognises a telephone number or address, via a drop-down menu, I have the option to create a new contact or add the data to an existing contact. If I want to create a new AddressBook contact I am presented with a pop-up. This pop-up gives me the choice to enter a persons name, or by ticking the box, designate the entry as a company. I can edit the person's or company's name - this is often necessary as Data Detection, though generally quite good, doesn't always pick the correct data; for instance when the data is in the body of a forwarded e-mail. But what I can't seem to do is edit the entry to include a Contact Name and a Company Name. I may have to hand enter this information, I can accept that, but what I want to avoid is having to move away from Mail, open AddressBook and complete the contact creation therein.
    What I simply require is the option to enter at least the standard AddressBook 'new contact' template fields from within Mail. So I need to know: Is there is a way of configuring the pop-up fields beyond the Mail.app defaults?
    I hope this makes sense..
    Thanks again..

  • How to i get my contacts on my phone to sync into my address book on my macbook?

    i synced my phone to my macbook and the newer contacts wont show up in the addressbook on the laptop. how do i make them sync to the address book from my phone?

    What Operating System is your Macbook running? If it's Lion, then you can go into the iCloud control panel in System Preferences, sign in with your Apple ID, and check "Contacts". Then it should sync with your iPhone contacts.
    Oh, and make sure your phone is set up with iCloud as well. Of course, only if your Mac is running Lion.

  • Equipment search based on Class and Characteristic data

    Hello Experts,
    We are looking for some inputs on how to get index created on Class and Characterstics for Equipments.
    We are using Embedded Search , TREX Version 7.10.44.00,  Changelist 323327 (710_REL),   InstallationType ESH along with ECC 6.0/Ehp4.
    We can't see any standard template available in our cockpit(ESH_COCKPIT) for Class and Characteristic but we can see a template on Equipment(EQUI).
    We have the following software components available : EA-HRGXX, ESH_COMMON_OBJECTS and SAP_APPL however class and characteristic are missing.
    We tried to import it but unavailable in the import queue. Hence it seems we need to create it manually.
    Question:
    Is it available in some patch or something from where we can import it? We assume these should be definitely available somewhere since these are standards templates.
    From where we can get the technical details if we want to create these manually?
    How to configure the index to get the relevant field data from ECC-->TREX for these new indexes(Class/Characteristic) created?
    What extra coding required to do this? Where we can find the details on how to program and run this?
    Any other related info around this will be really helpful.
    Many Thanks
    Sanjay

    hi,
    the standard templates are only delivered with EHP5 and NW 7.2 as part of the standard delivery.
    cheers,

  • How do you transfer ical data and address book from a mac back up to an ipad?

    I have a HD back-up from my mom's dead imac g5.
    I am sending her an iPad, and would LOVE to have here Address Book and iCal data so she has that all set up.

    If you want to transfer a large amount of files, the best way would be to use an external drive. If you do not have one, consider the option of using Target Disk mode, so you just have to get a Thunderbolt cable; this is the fastest option.
    To use Target Disk mode, connect the Thunderbolt to the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro. Then, start up your MacBook Pro and hold the T key while it is starting up until you see the Thunderbolt icon in the display. Now, go to the MacBook Air, open a Finder window and you will see the MacBook Pro hard drive in the sidebar, so access to them and transfer the files you want to.

  • How does one modify the Notes field in a contact already in the address book?

    The iPhone is running iOS 5.0.1
    [as upgrade from purchased iOS 4].

    The reason the that the edit button ( - ) top righthand corner had 'disappeared', was that iCloud was enabled but that the Addressbook subsetting under iCloud was set to off in the phone settings.
    Changing it to 'on' made the edit button reappear.
    Thanks to the guys in Cambridge Apple Store!!

  • How do you import contacts if you didn't export from old OSX Address Book?

    I have a bootable backup of my old PowerBook's system, but I did not export the contacts into one of the formats needed for import. And the bootable backup will not boot my new PowerBook.
    I can find no method to import contacts after the fact.

    With the Address Book quit on your new PowerBook, locate the AddressBook folder on your backup of the old system which is located in your Home folder/directory at Home > Library > Application Support > AddressBook.
    Copy the backup copy of the AddressBook folder and place the copy at Home > Library > Application Support on your new Mac. If there is an existing AddressBook folder within the Application Support folder on your new Mac, this will replace it.
    Launch Address Book on your new Mac and all Address Book contacts should be completely restored along with the list of Previous Recipients in Mail.
