How do you handle multiple at the same address?

My wife just got an iMac. She is using the Birthday feature in Address Book and iCal to track our friends and family birthdays and anniversaries.
Question:
How do you track it when multiple people are at the same address? For instance, our friends are a family of four, but they all live at the same address. Do you need to make a separate Address Book card for each of them, even the 1 year old baby? Or can you track multiple people in a single card with custom fields?
If you do need to make multiple cards, then how do you handle mailing lists? For instance, if I make separate cards for all four of them, how do I make sure I only send on Christmas card when I use my Mac to print labels?
Thanks for any advice.

This is really an issue that you're going to have to resolve yourself since Apple's address book isn't really built with this in mind - darn it. For me there are three scenarios. First, a singleton. No problem. Second a family for which all members share the same information - acquantences to whom I don't send birthday greetings. These get one card and I'll put in both (or all) their names in the first name field (as in Bob and Jean). If there are children, in the last name field I'll add 'and Ken' or 'and the kids'. Third, a family for which some fields are different - perhaps cell phone number, birthday, etc.
For mailing purposes, I create a holiday group and put the people I'll be sending cards to into the group.

  • HT4236 How do you keep photos in the same sequence on the iPhone that they are on the PC folder?

    How do you keep photos in the same sequence in the iPhone as they are in the folder on the PC??

    When I sync my photos they are listed alphabetically (by folder) and within the folders, listed alphabetically again by the name assigned to the photo. The only way I can think of to keep the order that you have in your computer would be to assign a letter as a prefix to each photo. If you have more than 26 photos in a folder, you can double the letters, etc. I think that will keep the photos in the order you want.

  • How do you combine 2 of the same albums?

    iTunes *****. I miss my Zune. All I want to do is combine one album that has most of the songs on it....to the same exact album that I downloaded one song from iTunes.
    Witht he zune software all you had to do was drag and place. I don't even know where to start with this software. REALLY!?!? iTunes found the first one that I ripped, how is it not the same????

    What i did to combine an ablum was to change the album information so it is exactly the same as the one you want to merge it with. i did this and it worked. it has to be exactly the same, word for word. to edit the album information, right-click on the album and click "get info". a Box will appear. click on the 2nd tab to edit info. you can even change the album cover!
    *note: this hasn't been tested for music downloaded from the iTunes Store.
    Hope This Helps!

  • How do you share photos on the same computer between users???

    Hello,
    I would like to know how to share photos on the same computer between users...
    My wife and I have different user accounts on our iMac and I can't figure out how to share photos.
    I tried everything as told by Apple but it seems you can only share photos on your iMac with a network. If that is what I understand...
    I just want to have all the photos on my user account and when my wife is on her user account I want her to be able to view the photos.
    Again, we are only using one iMac.
    Thank you for your help in advance...

    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • How do you force instances with the same name on the same layer to update?

    Maybe someone can tell me why flash doesn’t redraw
    components’ x,y positions if they have the same instance name
    and are on adjacent frames? (movieclips work fine, just not
    components) If I have a button on frame 1 and a button on frame 2
    both with the same instance name but different locations on the
    stage, frame 2’s button doesn’t show up in the position
    I placed it, it stays at the position of frame 1 but still has the
    properties of frame 2’s button. The label changes and
    everything. If I stick a button on a frame in between and give it a
    different instance name there is no problem. I thought it might be
    the style manager bug
    http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2007/12/cs3_component_b.html
    but it didn’t seem to affect. This happens for textareas too
    and probably all components although I haven’t tried them.
    I’ve tried using drawNow() and validateNow() with no luck
    either
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/creating_as3_components_pt3_05.html
    Thank you!
    // put this on frame 1 along with a button on the stage with
    instance name: b
    function doit(event) {
    if (currentFrame == 1)
    gotoAndStop(2);
    else
    gotoAndStop(1);
    b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doit);
    stop();
    // put another button on frame 2 along with this code and
    also make it’s instance name: b but move it so it’s not
    in the same x,y coordinates as the button on frame 1
    stop();
    Something possibly related. I have a movieclip on a layer,
    one instance with name “a” on frame 1 and one instance
    with name “a” on frame 2 and it has event listeners
    inside it that update something on the movieclip. Unless I put the
    movieclips on separate layers the event listeners won’t reset
    each frame. (example: a button with a tooltip onmouseover that you
    want to change the text of from frame 1 to frame 2) You’d
    think if they were on separate keyframes at least but no, they need
    to be on separate layers too.
    I want the movieclip to update each frame. Any ideas?

    instances (whether components or not) with the same name may
    or may not be the same instance. it depends upon how they were
    created.
    for example, if you create an instance on frame 1 of your
    main timeline, give it an instance name and then create a keyframe
    on frame 2, the two instances will be the same.
    but if you create an instance on frame 1 of your main
    timeline, give it an instance name and then create a blank keyframe
    on frame2 and create another, what you think is a duplicate,
    instance and give it the same name, it will be a different
    instance.

  • How do you find duplicates in the same album? I keep creating albums and it's frustrating because I keep having to go back and personally scan for any duplicates. Isn't there a shortcut to finding these?

    I'm knew to the iMac, although I've been using my Macbook Pro 2011 for some time and I love it. I've had an iPad and used the iPhone 5 and love the streamlined way you can share pics etc. between all devices. However, I've never used the iPhoto program until now. I am trying to organize my photos into albums and it is frustrating because I select photos from the main "Photos" on the Left Sidebar and because I have so many photos I tend to put duplicates into my albums. Then I have to spend hours searching to make sure there are no duplicates before I upload them to my website. This is tedious and time consuming. Surely there is an easier way to find all the duplicates IN THE ALBUMS I CREATE. I've looked everywhere and I can't find a sorting tool to put all the duplicates side by side so I can delete the proper ones.

    If they are duplicates then sorting on title will put them together, no? If you have two photos called IMG_1234.jpg or 'Last Xmas 01', then they'll have the same name.

  • In iTunes, podcasts are sorted in the library alphabetically. In Version 1.2.1, there is no order and there are duplicates.  Can you sort the library? and how do you remove duplicates of the same podcast (not episode)?

  • How do you sort numbers in the same field in excel 2010 the same for access 2010

    Hi,
    Is there a way to sort data horizontally in the same field in excel and for access, or is there an addin that can do this
    or  function code
    field data    6-4-25-23-11-45
    sort order 4-6-11-23-25-45
    Regards,
    Rudolf
    rudolfelizabeth

    sort data horizontally in the same field in excel
    Does "in the same field" means that the string "6-4-25-23-11-45" is located in one cell?
    In that case you have to use an UDF. Paste this code into a regular module:
    Function SortNumbersPrim(ByVal What As String, Optional ByVal Delimiter) As Variant
      Dim Arr, Temp
      Dim i As Long, j As Long
      Arr = Split(What, Delimiter)
      For i = LBound(Arr) + 1 To UBound(Arr)
        Temp = Val(Arr(i))
        For j = i - 1 To LBound(Arr) Step -1
          If Val(Arr(j)) <= Temp Then Exit For
          Arr(j + 1) = Arr(j)
        Next
        Arr(j + 1) = Temp
      Next
      SortNumbersPrim = Join(Arr, Delimiter)
    End Function
    Then use a formula like this:
    =SortNumbersPrim(A1,"-")

  • How to fill out multiples of the same form without having to input e-mail every time?

    I am making a almost check list for my boss while he inspects die cast machines. He would also like to use the form so clients can fill the form out themselves and send them to us. Problem is if my boss is inspecting 10 machines it doesn't make sense if he he has to input his e-mail in the e-mail tab everytime to know that he filled one out on my end.

    Hi,
    You could use a selection field instead, so the user won't need to type the email address each time.  For example,

  • Help!! How do you keep objects in the same order in a 20 page doc when inserting a new object?

    I am creating a catalog of pictures only, as objects.
    They are organized alphabetically, 4 images per page as a 2x2 grid, for 20 pages.
    I want to insert a NEW object (image) in the middle of these 20 pages, and want all the objects after it to shift over one spot to make room.
    How do I get the objects after the inserted ones to shift, as text would if you inserted more text in the middle of a paragraph?
    I can't figure out how do do that (without just putting the images in a text box and in-line, but then I lose all the spacing controls)...
    Thank you!
    Lawrence

    ID ships with a free Image Catalog script in the sample scripts. You don't need to buy one.
    And that isn't going to do what you want, exactly. You'd have to re-run the script each time you add an image to make a new file, and you don't get to set the sort order yourself.

  • How do I put multiples of the same button in different places on my tool bar?

    I'd like there to a new tab button to left of the address bar and to have the option of also clicking to right of my tabs as well. Like the old version. The customize toolbar option only allows me to use one button of each kind, and I'd like to have multiples for this and perhaps other uses.

  • Solaris 11 IPS:  How do you post multiple versions of the same package?

    How do you post multiple versions of the same software package on a single IPS instance(port)? Oracle was able to do it here with versions 151 and 175 of S11:
    http://pkg.oracle.com/solaris/release/
    Unfortunately, based on my searches, no where in the documentation (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/technologies/ips-323421.html) does it explain to the development community how this is done. The best I can do is create pkg repo instances on different ports to host each different software version.
    We are trying to deploy an IPS repository for our drivers and utilities that our customers can link to and pull updates from. We have been able to post a software package to the repository using the command:
    pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 -d ./ Appv1.p5m
    This posts the package on the IPS repository instance at port 1234 on the server. However, we would like to post multiple versions of the package on the server at the same URL. Why the same URL? So that our customers and end-users need only point to a single URL to pull down our software rather than having to add a new URL to the publisher list each time we have an update. We want at least 5 of the previous software versions to be available on the server. Posting each version of the application or driver on a different IPS instance on a different port will require customers to add multiple URLs to their publisher list and they also will not be able to initiate remote scans for updates.
    Has anybody been able to do this? Is any documentation forthcoming?
    Edited by: user13489824 on Jun 25, 2012 10:17 AM

    dhduvall: Thanks for your response. Yes, one would think that as long as the version numbers are different, you should be able to accumulate multiple versions of a package in a repository. It looks like Oracle has done it in their S11 repository unfortunately, as far as I know, they have not shared the steps on how to do this. I would like to publish two versions of the same package. I.E. two different manifests with two different fmri.pkg version strings and two different binaries.
    If I publish one package after another like this:
    pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv1.p5m
    pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv2.p5m
    Then only the second package shows up in the repository, as if it over-wrote the first one.
    Running pkgsend with two manifest, like this:
    pkgsend publish -s http://localhost:1234 Appv1.p5m Appv2.p5m
    Will cause pkgsend to combine the packages and manifests as if they were a single package... not what I am trying to do.
    Both approaches are complete without errors but neither achieves what I am trying to do.
    alan.pae: Thank you. Unfortunately, the link didn't really help. I've read Oracle's white papers and IPS developer guide so I'm familiar with the topics covered.
    Lex: Yes, I know. I specified the versions in the pkg.fmri value string.
