I have no option to export address book - Thunderbird 24.5.0 Win*

I wish to export my email addresses to create a back-up.
Running Thunderbird 24.5.0 under Win 8.
There is no Export button showing although there is an Import button.
Otherwise how can I back up my email addresses?
Thanks for helping

You need to reinstate the toolbar and menu '''in the Address Book'''. You may also wish to restore these features in the Write window and the message view window.

How to export Address Book content as Unicode with applescript?

Hello,
I have a problem for exporting address book content. I'd like to export "My Card" to a vcf file and use another application to read it. So I have the following applescript:
*+tell application "Finder"+*
*+set theFolder to folder "TemporaryItems" of folder "Caches" of folder "Library" of home+*
*+end tell+*
*+tell application "Address Book"+*
*+set theVcard to (vcard of my card) as Unicode text+*
*+set theFile to (theFolder as text) & "myCard.vcf"+*
*+set theFileHandle to open for access theFile with write permission+*
*+-- write (ASCII character of 254) to theFileHandle+*
*+-- write (ASCII character of 255) to theFileHandle+*
*+write theVcard to theFileHandle+*
*+close access theFileHandle+*
*+end tell+*
OK, now the problem is that if "My Card" has any double-byte characters like Chinese or Arabic, the output file will just hold some question marks ("??"). The code works in Tiger but not Leopard. (Add char 254 and 255 just to make it a UTF16-BE file. So it doesn't really change the result of this script.)
I started digging and guess here is the reason: in the following statement the "vcard of my card" will always return plain text:
+*set theVcard to (vcard of my card) as Unicode text*+
I got this clue from the help of ScriptEditor:
+*vcard (text, r/o) : Person information in vCard format, this always returns a card in version 3.0 format.*+
But in Tiger, you can see:
+*vcard (Unicode text, r/o) : Person information in vCard format, this always returns a card in version 3.0 format.*+
Any workaround to solve this problem?
(And if this is not the right place to ask such question, please just let me know.)
Thanks a lot!

Hello Calvin,
Since your code works under OSX10.4 and fails under OSX10.5, the cause would be the change made in AppleScript 2.0.
Try -
write theVcard as Unicode text to theFileHandle
instead of -
write theVcard to theFileHandle
The read/write commands in AS 2.0 have been change so that they will always interpret the text in system's primary encoding if 'as Unicode text' is not specified in commands' parameter.

HT2486 When I use my iPhone Siri for dialing, it is better to have the names in the address book listed singularly. But when I want to print envelopes from the address book in a formal manner - "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". Is there any way to have both options?

When I use my iPhone Siri for dialing, it is better to have the names in the address book listed singularly. But when I want to print envelopes from the address book in a formal manner - "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". Is there any way to have both options?

Only way I can figure is having double entries one with singular + some unique field, (maybe called Siri), then making a Smart group for one or both.

How do I Export Address Book data?

Is there anyway to insert Address Book data into other (non-Apple) applications, e.g. Word?
I want to send out some letters and I would like each letter to have the recipiants address at the top of the letter. Even if I could export the data to Excel first would be OK but I only seem to be able to export vCards from Address Book and Excel (nor Word) can read them?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Yink,
you can use some third-party applications to export Address Book data as plain text files (e.g., csv) which you should then be able to import without any problems in Excel and the like.
Some options are:
• Export Addresses from Mail Scripts

• Address Book Exporter

• Export Address Book

Exporting Address Book to Excel

I would like to export addresses from my Address Book to Excel, to create a database Christmas card list that I can update every year with "sent", "received", and related information. Is it possible to do this? If not, does anyone out there know any good christmas card list database software? This seems a natural for both AddressBook and Excel, but neither have any helpful tips in their Help.

Option Two: Use Address Book, itself.
In the Note field, add keywords for sent and received. I'd use something that you would not add to the notes normally (e.g. xMasSent, xMasReceived). You can then create smart groups to find all with xMasSent--call it Cards Sent; one that finds all with xMasReceived--call it Cards Received. You could also use the "does not contain" option to find ones not sent or received. Finally, you could find all that you sent, but not received.
Taking this further, you could create an applescript that would "reset" all the cards--erase the xMasSent, xMasReceived. Or, you could add the year to the keywords to keep a log of the years you sent and received. I think I could create the Applescript easy enough if you decide to go this route. However, some things I think should be easy turn out to be very difficult.

Export Address Book into Outlook

How do you export Address Book to use in Outlook?

You connect the iPhone to iTunes, select Outlook as to where you want to sync contacts, and calendar if you want, and then sync. The only thing you need to do is make sure if the Outlook on the computer is completely empty, put in a unique contact in Outlook to force the merge option to come up.

He needs to add your Apple ID in settings > mail, contacts, calendars (as a secondary iCloud account), then check contacts and calendars from the options available.
Note, he would be able to enable mail, reminders etc as well at will. should he wish to do so. If you are OK with that, it should all work as you want it to.

Is the Gmail sync option in Mac Address Book bidirectional ?

Is the Gmail sync option in Mac Address Book bidirectional ?
basically, If I put information directly online on Gmail Address Book will the information go on my computer's Address Book ?
can anyone explain with his/her experience ?

It is bidirectional, but I'm not sure how often the sync is triggered, or what triggers it. I saw some stuff on the web that talks about setting it up with Google Sync, but I have not really tried it.
*_Question on: Is it Bidirectional ?_*
How can you confirm it is bidirectional ? I have not seen a site that confirms that is it bidirectional.
*_Question on: How often the sync is triggered ?_*
ONLY when Google Sync is activated from Address Book, you will see a file created in ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.google.GoogleContactSyncAgent.plist which contains the sync schedule, which by default is 3600seconds (an hour).
The user can change the sync schedule by editing that file using TextEdit.
*_Duplicates using Google sync with Address Book_* ?
I've noticed that my 2000 contacts where duplicated at least 3 times which then I had 5800 contacts about.
Is there any way to stop that ?

Birthday calendar for only some of my contacts are showing up twice in my iPhone. They are not showing up twice tho on my iMac. No, I do not have duplicate names in my address book either. Any idea how to fix that?

I have uploaded the InDesign file so that you can take a closer look at:
http://www.hsdesign.comuf.com/downloads/
The file is called "Template_File.indd"
So, as discussed the main issues are:
1) The TOC doesn't generate all the listings (only those with the applied paragraph style "Heading 1 - Appendix")
2) When I try to create a new pargraph style and apply it to existing or new text, it reads the pargraph style in the Paragraph Style menu, but the style doesn't actually apply.
Hopefully you can figure something out from this. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks!

Why can't I send an email to a "group" if I have a group in my address book??

Why can't I send an email to a "group" if I have a group in my address book??

You are not doing anything wrong. Unfortunately, that's just the way that the built in mail app works. It really is a basic no frills mail app with not much to offer compared to other apps.
There are third party apps that let you create groups and email to those groups. I don't use either of these, but I've seen them recommended here in the past.

I have a "?" on my address book icon.

I have a "?" on my address book icon and it won't open. I am syncing to mobile me. My iPhone and iPad contacts still are there. ideas?

That means that the Address Book application has either been moved, renamed, or deleted from its original location. Drag the icon out of the dock (that won't do anything to the application itself) then go to your Applications folder and find the Address Book app. Once you've found it, just drag the icon back into the dock where you want it.

My iPod touch 2nd generation does not sync my contacts. I only have iCloud contacts in my address book. How can i sync that?

My iPod touch 2nd generation does not sync my contacts. I only have iCloud contacts in my address book. How can i sync that?

I do not fully understand you question. To use iCloud on an iOS device requires iOS 5 and the 2G only goes to iOS 4.1.2 and thysyu can't access iCloud, including contacts.
Maybe you could sync the iCloud contacts with anopther program and sync that program with the 2G iPod.
The following smple states the following for Contacts:
iCloud: What if my device or computer doesn't meet iCloud system requirements?
Contacts
If you want to check your iCloud Contacts, you can do so by visiting icloud.com from a Mac or PC (as long as it meets the browser system requirements for icloud.com).
