HT2486 Address book assigning images on its own.

Images getting changed by address book. From time to time, AB unilaterally decides to change a few contacts images, or to attach images from other contacts to contacts without an image. Anybody seen the same problem ?

You're not using Address Book correctly; you need to enter both a First and Last Name for each contact; not just a Last Name, or in All Caps. Mail and Address Book communicate, so when you receive an email from someone in Address Book, their name as they associated it with their email address when the account was setup is sent to Address Book and updated immediately.
That's why you will end up with double first names or last names, depending on what you entered. The solution is not to do that and use Address Book correctly.

    Oh, that's too bad...well, let me know if they ever come up with that idea. Thanks.

  • Script for placing an image in its own paragraph (for eBooks, etc)

    This is for flowing text formats.
    With the cursor placed at the beginning of the paragraph, the script needs to:
    - paste an image from the clipboard at that insertion point
    - place a break paragraph return (to put the image in its own paragraph)
    - apply a paragraph style to the image (zero leading)
    - add an XML tag "image"
    Is this doable?

    Absolutely.
    - After you did a previous manual "copy", from within InDesign or in just about any other program, app.paste() will do a regular paste operation on your current cursor position.
    - use app.selection[0].insertionPoints[-1].contents = "\r" to 'insert' a paragraph return before your current cursor position.
    - use app.selection[0].paragraphs.previousItem(app.selection[0].paragraphs[0]) to set properties of the paragraph before the one your cursor is in (as you may already know, scripting usually does not move the cursor around).
    - so, since 'allGraphics' is the property that holds images for paragraphs, app.selection[0].paragraphs.previousItem(app.selection[0].paragraphs[0]).allGraphics[0] targets 'the first graphic in the previous paragraph that you are currently in', and you can set its properties in turn to anything you'd like.
    As for the finishing touch, setting the XML tag of an image, I don't know how to do that ... there doesn't seem to be a 'tag' method for graphics.

  • HT2486 Address book will no longer sort when typing name

    Address book will no longer sort names when you begin to type

    Have you tried resetting your sort option in Address Book / Preferences? Change it from whatever you have it (e.g. First Name) to the other choice. Then try to Search a contact. If it works, then go back in and reset it to what you had it before.

  • HT2486 Address book data loss / iMac 10.5.8 / despite backing up on a NAS all data lost, including in the backup. How can I retrieve it? Thanks

    Help! All my address book data disappeared from one day to the next. I entered my NAS back-up but all the address books going back in time are empty.
    Then I got clever and thought I would sync my contacts from my iPhone 4 to my iMac. Brilliant idea - now all my iPhone contacts are gone as well except for 14 address that must have been input after my last sync with iTunes.
    Can anyone help my find my lost data?
    Thanks

  • HT2486 address book

    I have groups set up in my address book.  How Do I send an email to the group without having to pull each name? Also, It used to allow me to access the address book when I was writing an email.  Now I cannot figure out how to make that work? This seems limited!

    In Mail, click New Message.
    Then select View > Customize Toolbar, and drag the "Address" icon into the toobar.  (You may want to do that with Reply and Forward as well).
    When you're composing a new message, click the Address icon in the toolbar and select the group you want.  Then either click "To" (to copy all the addresses) or drag the group to the "To" field in the new message.

  • HT2486 Address book help.

    I added one contact now I can't get my details to open in the address book, I have to double click on the name and it opens in a separate window and I can't change it. HELP! It's driving me nuts!
    I also can't import my contacts from OUTLOOK on my Windows laptop and forget Migration assistant!

    Note that with iCloud (and I guess any other source) there is a Sources folder inside of the AddressBook folder. It has the same indexing databases. At this point, I don't know of you would need to remove those, also. When you throw away the iCloud one, it will take a few moments for the iCloud contacts to reindex.
