How to set up 'add sender to address book'

I somehow lost all my contacts!! How can I add the sender of an email to my address book on a one-click basis. I think I have searched all avenues with no success. Have I missed something? Thanks

When you are viewing a message in a tab or message pane there is a star to the right of the sender. If the star is filled with color they are already in one of your address books. Clicking an empty star adds it to the address book. Clicking the filled star opens the contact edit dialog box to fill in more details.

Undo 'add sender to address book' ?

Hi
I just accidentally added a whole load of people to my Address Book unintentionally
From Mail, I had a whole bunch of emails selected (100+) and chose 'Add sender to Address Book' by mistake (I intended just to add one of them).
So my question is this. How can I identify those contacts in my Address Book? 'Undo' was not available in Mail, and they don't appear to register in Address Book as 'last import'.
Is there a way of searching by date added?
TIA
James

There's no way to display contacts by date added. You could go to View > Last Import and this should display a new group called Last Import with details. not sure if 'Add to senders' are classed as an import tho.
If this doesn't work go to File > New Smart Group. In the pop up box for adding smart rules set the rule to Card has changed in 3 days and Ok this. You will now have a new group containing all the contacts that have been changed in the last 3 days which should include all the ones you are after. Just check there aren't any you need to keep before making any deletions.

Add Sender to Address Book Category?

Does anyone know if you can set up a "rule" or something of that nature to the Add Sender to Address Book feature? I would like all of my contacts from my .me email to be saved in a preset category in my Address Book.

Take a look at Andreas Amann's Mailscripts. His add to address book script instructions:
"Select all messages you want to use for creating the mailing list (for creating a mailing list, you would choose all messages in a mailbox which contains all messages on a certain topic).
Run the script and you get a list with all addresses contained in the selected messages - mark all the addresses you want to add to the Address Book using the checkboxes.
From the popup menu, choose which group you want to update with the selected addresses or select "Create new Group..." and enter the name for the new group to be created.
The script checks whether an address is already present before adding it to the Address Book in order to avoid duplicate entries. If additional information is available for an entry already present in the Address Book (e.g., full name information for an entry which had prior been email-only), the entry will be updated."

Speech command "Add sender to address book"

Hi,
This command 'add sender to address book' is recognized, but in the end, nothing new has been stored in my Address Book. What did I miss, or how could I fix it ?
Thank you for your help.

Keith,
Since you have confirmed that the maintenance scripts have been used, then you may benefit from the troubleshooting procedures listed in Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption.
I would also suspect .plist corruption with com.apple.mail.plist and/or com.apple.AddressBook.plist.

Add sender to address book no longer working

"Add sender to address book" no longer works. It flashes the menu bar as if it is working, however, when I go to the Address book, the new person is not there. This has been going on for a number of weeks.
Any ideas?

TS3276 I cannot add contacts to the address book by clicking "add sender to address book."

In Apple Mail, OS 10.7.3, when I click on add sender to address book, nothing gets added. The address book doesn't change. When I try adding addresses via previous recipients, the button is active, but when I click, nothing is added to the address book. Any ideas for me?

Same thing happens to me. Running 10.9.2 on Macbook Air. Everything worked fine up until a few weeks ago then it stopped behaving.

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.

Mail not adding Sender to Address Book

When I have a message from someone I want added to my address book, I hit the menu button to Add Sender to Address Book, yet nothing at all happens, and I end up having to enter all the info manually. Any ideas as to why this occurs, or how to get it working?

The shift, command, Y didn't work, and when I opened the Console app, and tried the menu command, it didn't work, and I didn't see anything showing up on the Console, relative to Mail.
What I did see on the Console was endless lines like this:
MacKeeper Helper.app/Contents/MacOS/MacKeeper Helper", ...): No such file or directory
Nov 14 11:10:04 stevens-computer com.apple.launchd.peruser.502[106] (com.zeobit.MacKeeper.Helper[40111]): Exited with exit code: 1
Nov 14 11:10:04 stevens-computer com.apple.launchd.peruser.502[106] (com.zeobit.MacKeeper.Helper): Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
Do you have any idea why it keeps doing this, despite my not having MacKeeper on my computer? Could there be a hidden file I can't find? And do you know what "Throttling respawn" means?

How to set the IP and MAC address in C program?

My working environment is Sun250 Server, Solaris 7 operating system. I encountered a problem ---- How to set the IP and MAC address in C program to make the system change it IP & MAC at runtime?
Any idea is welcome! Thanks!

Hi
As a simplest possible solution, you can use the system command
to run ifconfig that can set both the mac address and the IP address of the system. You will have to use setuid though.
Or you can use the DLPI calls ( do a man DLPI or search for a
Sun documentation on the same at http://soldc.sun.com) to write
a pure C program.

Sync it to an app on your computer using iTunes, then sync your Samsung to the same app. Or sync your address book to gmail, yahoo or hotmail, then sync your Samsung to the same service.

That's not the way to do it. Instead, do this:
From your copy of Address Book, select the All group and export it as a single vCard; this will include every contact in your Address Book.
Copy that file to the other account on the Mac. Launch Address Book there and then drag & drop that vCard file you copied over onto the open Address Book window; that will import all the contacts.
