How to edit multiple contacts in Address Book?

Hi,
I'm doing some cleaning in my Address Book; I have lots of contacts, where I'd like to put similar information (eg. Company or Address). Is there any way to edit fields in two or more contacts at once (like editing tags in multiple MP3s in iTunes?)
Thanks in advance
Paul.

Hi,
Having exactly the same problem here. On 10.6.8, using the white MacBook last model.
did anyone resolve this issue yet?
thanks

  • How to hide a contact in Address Book?

    May I hide certain contacts in Address Book?

    I'm assuming you don't want to hide a contact from yourself ... it sounds like you just need to start using the multiple-user nature of OS X (System Preferences - Accounts). Use one login for yourself, and set up others for anyone else who uses your computer (or one "general" account for everyone else - make sure you set it as Standard and not Admin). They will have their own address book, and yours will remain private.

  • How to delete ALL contacts in Address Book 10.6.3.(1091) in Macbook?

    I made no effort ever to add the contents of my iPhone to my Macbook. Ever. Right now in my Skype app that I have only Just downloaded have I just found ALL of my iPhone contacts in it's contact list. NOT GOOD. I am looking for a way to remove my iPhone phone book from the Address Book on my Mac and then remove ALL those same contacts from the Skype contact list.
    I am now removing my iPhone contacts from Address Book on my Macbook one by one manually. Is there a shorter way of doing this?

    Are you using iCloud?
    What is the file format you intend to use to import contacts? If it an Address Book Backup (.abbu) then perhaps you can import it. That would delete your entire Address Book and replace it with the backup.
    I might suggest simply moving your entire ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book folder to the Desktop. That seems rather drastic though, and if your contacts are stored in iCloud it might not make a difference.

  • How to copy the same address for multiple contacts in Address Book?

    Hi! I got a question, I didn't find an answer for yet.
    How to copy the post address from one contact to another, without manual entering. I mean if I have one contact with already entered post address, can I just copy it someway at once to another contact?
    I don't want cards to merge, I need separate contacts, that may have different phones, e-mails, but the same post address. Please, advise.

    Thanks! yes, this is a solution I'm following now. But I was wondering about the similar way as it is made in Daylite or Contactizer - you create company with name and post address first, and then can create a contact for that company. And company name and post address will appear in contact name.
    I just wonder why such a simple and useful solution isn't available in Address Book as default.
    I know there are many scripts written for Address Book. Maybe there is something for this purpose?

  • How do I delete multiple contacts from address book?

    Hello,
    I have been using Macs for well over a decade. As a result my Address Book has become crowded with a large number of contacts for people I don't know anymore, most of which are out of date anyways.
    Is there a way to quickly delete multiple contacts? I think I have about 100 contacts to delete. Doing them all manually will take forever.
    Thanks!

    I assume that this will work, but I thought my first suggestion would work so ....Log into iCloud.com on your computer. Click on contacts. Click on the settings icon in the lower left corner - then click on Select All - then click on Delete.

  • Apple Mail: How do I add contacts to address book?

    In the Apple Mail program, there is an option to add sender to address book. But when I do that, it just adds the sender to my address book, oftentimes without a name associated to the contact. So that contact could easily get lost.
    I'd like to be able to add a sender from Apple Mail, then, at a later point, go to the address book and review who I've added, and edit their information.
    Is there a way to add the sender to the address book, and have that contact added to a default folder within address book. That way I could later go back and review a bunch of contacts I've added at the same time. Thanks.

    Adding an address to Address Book opens Address Book so that you can edit the card before saving it.  Is that not happening for you, or is that happening but you want to ignore it until you're ready to go add other information?
    If the latter, you could always create a smart group in Address Book with the criteria "Name" "is not set".  Then just go in now and then and add names to everything in that group.  Of course, the problem with this technique is you may have to go back and find that address in Mail and refresh your memory as to who it belongs to.  It would probably be quicker, overall, to just add the name at the time you're adding the contact.

  • How do I delete contacts from address book in Snow Leopard OSX 10.6

    I thought I had deleted some contacts from my Address Book but when I then typed in a similar name, all the old addresses came up as options. Can anyone help on this please?   I feel stupid having to ask something that is so simple.  Many thanks.

    I think I may have found my own solution thank you.    I deleted a contact in the Address Book by using Edit and deleting all the contents from the card.
    I also went to the WINDOW MENU and found 'Previous Recipients".   This brought up a whole list of people who had received or sent emails and I deleted the ones I didn't need and now when I start to type in an address in my email I only get the relevant options - not ones from way back.
    This might just help somebody else.

  • Multiple Contacts in Address Book

    I have found that I have 2000+ contacts in my Address Book. Most of those are empty or repeated records. I don't know where they came from. I have recently hooked up mobile me and an iphone, so I should have push technology. Is there a script to delete them so I don't have to do it manually? Where did they come from?

    Need to take the time to edit/fix your address book on your computer. Once fixed there is a checkbox in the tab for iPhone syncing of contacts (may need to scroll down) that says replace all contacts on phone with what is on computer on next sync. Thus it won't try to merge but take your computer as master and remove all contacts on phone and replace with what is on the computer.

  • How to select multiple groups in Address Book???

    In Snow Leopards Address Book, I was able to select an Address Book Group and then shift-click to select a range of groups. How do you do this in Lion????

    ShonaIL04,
    It's amazing that it has now been close to three years and no one else has needed org missed this function with the exception of the two of us.
    On top of that, my original post was written when I was in 10.6.8 and the same issue is present with 10.9.5!!!!
    I'll guess we'll have to wait another few years....

  • How to batch add contacts from Address Book to Jabber?

    Hi Guys,
    I've recently imported my contacts from my hotmail account. Some of these are AIM, Gmail (iChat compatible accounts). Instead of adding one by one can i batch add them from my address book?
    Cheers
    Jim

    Hi,
    Yes.
    Click on names in the Address Book (you can either do this with the Shift or Apple key as Modifiers or create Groups to keep Jabber and AIM buddies separate at this stage.)
    Once Highlighted drag them to the relevant iChat Buddy List.
    (I once did 249 people like this.)
