How do I see a list of all my Apple Mail contacts. I do not use address book. I just want to see all the email addresses stored on my Mac

Hi All,
I have been using Mail for the past three years without need to send a regular mailing list mailout.
I now need to send group emails and all I want to do is browse my contacts aquired over the last three years to create a list. I have not used Address Book for anything other than phone contacts so please do not point me in that dirrection.
There must be a list of all email contacts stored somewhere on the Mac that I can look through. It is an almost impossible task to do this by browsing my inbox/sent folders.
Hope you can help and thanks in advance!
Best
Adam

I bought pages ages ago using an iTunes account that no longer works as the email address has been closed down. How can I now update my Pages app, if it asks me to sign in using this now defunct email address?

I bought Pages ages ago using an iTunes account that no longer works as the email address has been closed down. How can I now update my Pages app, if it asks me to sign in using this now defunct email address?

All apps are always tied to the account from whaich they were purchased and will always have to be updated using that account.
Just because the e-mail account is shut down, has nothing to do with the itunes account. Why did you create a new account? Why not just change the e-mail associated with the old account?

I have an itouch that will not let me sign in to my itunes account. The email address that it is associated with is no longer valid. I keep entering the correct password but it says that it is incorrect. I cant get a reset all of my credentials dont work.

I have an itouch that will not let me sign in to my itunes account. The email address that it is associated with is no longer valid. I keep entering the correct password but it says that it is incorrect. I can’t get a reset all of my credentials don’t work. Now all my apps won’t work. it looks like they load for half a second then disappear. What can I do?

- Try contacting iTunes for the password problem:
Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
- For the other problem you can try a reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- The next standard thing to do is to download/install a new app but you cant 'do that.
- Instead, try restoring from backup.

HT5621 I just want to delete my primary email address as it no longer exists but it says I'm already using my new address so how come I can't find it. I just want my new main address to be the only one registered to this account

This is going around in circles I want to delete my existing (closed) address and replace it with my now only functioning address but it won't let me saying it is in use. Well not by me on this account its not

In short, you have a problem we can't solve.
I suggest you contact Apple support and make an appointment to get help. Expect to pay for it.

How do I change the email address associated with this account?

I can find no option to update the email address associated with this account. This is causing a problem since the Apple Support Communities ID that I use is different than my iTunes account name, but the email address for both is the same. it's causing all sorts of weirdness with Game Center, logging into this site with my iTunes account (errors out), etc.
I see no options in preferences ot update this account email address.
Am I missing something obvious?

Well 99% there anyway. Now that I've successfully updated my email address, it asked me to merge the new email address as the login, which is fine, so I did that, but now I no longer see the option to edit the "Username" value.
What I'm trying to do here is to retire my username under this account, and take it on under my primary iTunes account. It won't let me do that while this old account has it reserved.
Hopefully that makes sense
Once I merged my new primary email address with this account, the 'Username' field disappeared and now just shows the new email address with no option to edit the friendly 'Username' *sigh*.

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account. Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

HT2486 How do I remove the grey "contact" selection highlight? This contact always appears as the email address for the group I want to send to.

How do I remove the grey "contact" selection highlight? This contact always appears as the email address for the address book group I want to send to.

The group is "undisclosed" there are 6 contacts in the group. The contacts are listed in 2nd column entitled "name", one of these contacts remains highlighted or selected in grey. I can't remove the grey selection of the contact. When you select the "undisclosed" group as the "to" address the contact highlighted in grey appears in the email address box. The group name should appear in the email box, but it doesn't. This began to happen after I upgraded to IOS 10.6.8. However I'm not sure that has anything to do with the problem? I do not have "show all member addresses selected." Your help is appreciated.

Outlook Add-In Mail Item Address How to get the email address for Receipents & Sender?

Hello,
I am developing an outlook add-in and unable to retrieve the email address from the To,CC,BCC field & the "Sender".
I have written the below code -
//Prepare list of receipients.
List<string> emailIds = new List<string>();
foreach (Outlook.Recipient recipient in mailItem.Recipients)
{ emailIds.Add(recipient.Address); }
emailIds.Add(mailItem.SenderEmailAddress);
In the code above, if the receipient/sender address is saved in the address book, I get the details else "null".
Could someone please help me in fetching the correct email address irrespective of it been saved in the address book or not?
Thanks!

Hello Starain,
I am sorry but I do not understand why this is happening as I get proper results.
Coming to the recipient from the address book, I just want to re-confirm what we mean by "recipient
from the address book". By this, I mean that whether my recipient is a contact in the outlook address book or not, I get proper email address.
Please confirm are we on the same page? As other than this, I do not see any difference.
Thanks!

TS2972 I can get my music, movies and tv shows to play through my apple tv, but I cannot see my photo stream on my apple tv. What can I do to get my photos to show up on the TV?

I can get my music, movies and tv shows to play through my apple tv, but I cannot see my photo stream on my apple tv. What can I do to get my photos to show up on the TV?
I have a mac and wireless internet.

Because you've got music and movies streaming to your Apple TV, I know you've authorized Home Sharing under the file menu of iTunes. But under that same iTunes file menu you must also go to the "Home Sharing" pull-down and select "Choose Photos to Share With Apple TV". You can select All photos, or just specific albums. Maybe worth saying again that this is done from iTunes and not iPhoto.
If you've already done this and still no photos on AppleTV, check to see that your photo file names (previously imported into iPhoto) have valid suffixes (such as photo.jpg). Without that valid suffix, iPhoto on your Mac will show the photo just fine (courtesy of the hidden Type Code embedded in the photo file), but AppleTV will not.
Good luck and let me know if either of these worked.

We reset back to factory settings, we had to try a few email addresses before finding one we could use. Now it is asking to verify one of the email addresses we didn't use. How do we get out of that?

We reset back to factory settings. After a few attempts we found an email we could use to set up as Apple ID. Everything was working great. Now it has pulled up one of the email addresses we tried to use, and is trying to verify, and asking to continue to complete the set up. It gets to a certain page, and stays there, won't let us get out of the page. We shut down the iPad, but it came back to the same thing, when it restarted. What do we do to stop this?

You will need another iOS device or a computer in order to do this, but I assume that's not a problem since you are on this forum.
see if you can change the ID using the instructions here.

Did you try starting all over again to see if you can start from scratch now?

How to find the email address by display name

as title,
i can get the display name from the to, cc, bc edit box,
then i need to get the email address,
current i use object API to query: GWAccount->GWAddressBook->GWAddressBookEntrie->get_EmailAddress,get_DisplayName
but i find it is really slow when there are many contacts, example 10000.
so is there any other effective method to get the email address?

First off, you are not really doing:
GWAccount->GWAddressBook->GWAddressBookEntrie->
get_EmailAddress,get_DisplayName()
are you?
If you enter the full line, it will read in all
of the entries each time it is called.
You should break each part into an object:
gwAccount
gwBook
gwEntries
I'm not sure what you are doing.
Are you trying to compose an email?
If so, why are you not using Recipients.Resolve()?
Are you trying to get the recipients from an email?

HT5620 I want to change the email address to which all the reset security information (emails) go to. But I cannot see that email address in the list when I click on the 'Name, ID and Email Addresses' section.

I want to change the email address to which all the reset security information (emails) go to. But I cannot see that email address in the list when I click on the 'Name, ID and Email Addresses' section.
How can I change it when I cannot view it on my account. I am not even sure how this got setup.

If you mean your rescue email address, it's in the Passwords and Security section, after you answer the two security questions.

I just want to see my files with explorer. Then transfer all pics to my computer. With the new update I can't.   How do I access my file with just explorer?

    Let's bring back your file control, jpandwibble. What happens when you connect to your computer? Are you trying to use Explorer on the device or on computer? I am eager to continue troubleshooting!

Don't understand your problem... Contacts sync with a compatible address book or cloud service. Contact records can contain names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, notes, or any combination of these. If you have records you don't want in your address book that you don't want in your contacts, then segregate them into groups in your address book and only sync the group(s) you want. If you don't want them there at all, then delete them.

How do I see a list of all my Apple Mail contacts. I do not use address book. I just want to see all the email addresses stored on my Mac
