I am creating a template with drop down menus in Numbers. I want to be able to insert options into the middle of my list at a later date if I need to, but I can only insert at the end of the drop down list. Is there a different program I could be using?

I need to be able to add in more options into my drop down list in Numbers at a later time, not only at the bottom but say in the middle of the list. Should I be using a different program that can allow this to work? Thank you!

This forum thread appears to point towards the problem.
Re: Unable to Switch Audio Sync Settings

HT1351 My fifth generation nano will no longer sync my address book from my Mac. It gives me an error message that "You have no contacts" and asks me if I want to create some. My address book is full of contacts. Sync works for everything else.

My 5th generation nano will no longer Sync my address book from my Mac. It gives me a message that I have no "Contacts", and asks if I want to create some. My address book is full of contacts, but for some reason it thinks it is empty. All the other sync operations work fine including iCal. My Mac is running OS X 10.7.4.

It sounds like all of your contacts on your Mac running Lion are actually stored up in iCloud.
Several users running Mac OS X Lion and now ML (and iCloud) have no longer been able to "sync" contacts over to their older iPods models.
A work around is to export all of your contacts out of Address Book as vCards and them copy these vCards into your iPod's Contacts folder. You'll need to have the Enable Disk Use option ticked from under the iPod's Summary tab in order to browse out to the iPod's Contacts folder via the Finder.
Using your iPod as a storage drive
That's the only "solution" I have been able to use to get contacts to sync/appear on my 5G iPod Video.

How to copy address book archive to a dvd

Recently synced iphone to imac and lost all contacts (aargh!!!!). Itunes was set for automatic backup, so the backup contact file was also blank. Found a two year old copy of my contacts. I have now manually inputted them all. I created an addressbook archive file. However, I can not find out how to (1) copy or burn this archive to a dvd so I can restore from it if needed again and (2) how to print a copy of the entire addressbook>
Please help!!
P.S.
I read through a lot of previous posts and saw where this iphone syncing and deleting contact lists is not a new problem. It also is not a function of my being a neo-luddite. Many others have had this happen. Is there some type of fix in the works to deter this from continuing to happen?
Thanks,
Ralph

Also found how to copy Address Book, as well as all others files on my computer.
The answer is to open Address Book.
Under FILE menu>Export>Address Book Archive
at prompt, Save to which ever location you wish on your computer ( I chose Documents). This will create an archive of your contact list with that date. Archive after anytime you change or add an address card. If saved to the same location on the same computer, prompt will ask if you want to Replace current>OK. If you archived on different days, you will create a new file with different date. You can throw away previously dated file or save as a backup.
To copy this file and all other files on my computer, I had to download the latest copy of Backup (v3.2) from the Apple downloads page under Apple support. This provides an installer to create a back up iDisk. I installed Backup>( it creates an Umbrella icon on my desktop)>followed the instructions to create a backup>program has standard backup protocols or you can customize.
I chose to backup my Home folders to a CD/DVD. System will tell you the size of the file and how many CD's or DVD's you will need. Select Burn.
Voila!!!!
I now have a DVD that contains all of the files in my Home folder (including the Address Book archive). This DVD will allow me to restore files to my computer, if I accidentally erase it again. Note that this method will not allow you to backup the entire startup, only files. You must use an external drive or Time Machine to create a rebootable copy of the operating system.
Hope this helps others.

How can I copy address book content from user 1 to user 2 in my iMac

I have my iMac set up with 2 users. The address book is in user 1. I need to establish a copy of it in user 2 so that the icloud I have set up for that user icludes the address book. How can i copy the address book from user 1 to user 2?

Are you sure you did that right ... because I did a File/Backup Address Book, and the file named included the date. I then copied the file through our Airport network from the Powerbook to a new iMac. The opening Address Book on the iMac, I did a File/Revert to Address Book Backup, which allows you to choose the file. Now the iMac had the same Address Book file as the Powerbook. This looks to me to be the same thing you are trying to do.

Before, when reading PDF files, I was able to copy and paste part of the book. Now it is not possible. I can copy but when pasting gets nothing. Antes, quando lia arquivos PDF, eu conseguia copiar e colar parte do livro. Agora isso não é possível.

Caro Fabiano,
Obrigado por ter contactado as Comunidades de Suporte Apple.
Na origem do seu problema podem estar várias causas. Nomeadamente:
O ficheiro (arquivo) que está a ler pode não ser texto, ou seja, pode ser texto transformado em imagem e exportado como PDF.
A aplicação de destino (onde está a tentar colar o texto copiado) pode não aceitar a colagem de texto formatado.
A aplicação que está a utilizar para abrir os ficheiros PDF pode não ser indicada para certo tipo de documentos. Experimente o iBooks, o Dropbox ou até mesmo o seu e-mail.
No caso de nenhuma destas causas estar na origem do seu problema, forneça, por favor, mais informações sobre a origem do ficheiro (descarga pelo Safari, Mail ou outro) bem como o destino (documento Pages, Keynote ou Numbers ou outra aplicação que não o iWork).
Atentamente,
Gonçalo Matos

I have a Macbook Pro, and I'm wanting to be able to plug it into my TV to watch Netflix. What cord(s) do I need to buy??

I have a Macbook Pro, and I'm wanting to be able to plug it into my TV to watch Netflix. What cord(s) do I need to buy??

I do this sometimes and it works well.
First of all more info is required like the macbook pro model identifier number found in 3 steps by first selecting the Apple Menu in the far top left, next select About This Mac and finally click the more info button. It should open under hardware and the second line has the number. (ex.) 2,1 or 4,1. With this info a person can look up the HD or other video out port to HDMI or SVGA monitor input.
Secondly what type of T.V monitor do you have? Is it HD or an older CRT. Does it have multiple types of inputs? Some are limited.
I dont want to start a list for every version MacBookPro but older MBP's can use an HDMI to DVI adapter.
Hope this is helpful... If not get back to me.

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?

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 to copy address book contacts to Numbers 3

I updated to OSX 10.9 and Numbers 3. I can't drag or copy address book contacts to spreadsheets anymore. Apparently this feature has been removed. Any work arounds out there? Any ideas how to do this? I am utterly dependant on adding Address book contacts to Numbers spreadsheets.

Pete,
We feel your pain. Nothing keeps you from continuing to use version 2.3. Just carry on as though nothing ever happened. It's not as though you'll be missing much by not running the latest version.

You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

Address Book List Output to File

How can I output an Address Book printed contact list to a file (instead of to my printer) so that I can do further editing on the file in Pages? Alternatively, how can I input the PDF file into Pages which can be produced by the Address Book list print function?
Thanks for your suggestions.

I think that Pages is the wrong choice.
I use a program called Address Book Importer which allows me to use CSV files that can be edited in Excel (or possibly Numbers)?
See http://homepage.mac.com/sroy/addressbookimporter/
You will need to be very careful doing the external edits. I experienced a LOT of problems with delimiters (commas and semi-colons) in notes and business names. I had to strip ALL of the commas and semi-colons from the address book file in Excel before I could import back into Address Book.
Be SURE to back up the Address Book (File -> Export) so you can get it back if you have a disaster in the external editor. Be sure to do a test on the reimport to make sure the fields are lining up the way you want them.
BTW - PDF is a printer format, not a data base so it will not be possible to edit the PDF files as if it were a data base.
Hope that helps.

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).

I have lost Address book app how do I recover it please. Thank you.

I have lost Address book app how do I recover it please. Thank you.

No kids or pets --- just me!I don't think there is too much mystery about the deletion of Address Book on my laptop. I was trying to get it up-to-date from my desktop computer and as that is Lion and the laptop is sitll Leopard (all these ***** cats!) I must have trashed the laptop Address Book, then tried to install the one from Lion but, of course it couldn't be installed - wrong system! By then I had lost Address Book!! Horrors! I then lifted it from my husband's computer (Panther or something!) et voila! But I had expected to have all HIS names and address in Address Book when I opened it but -- not so, his were not there and mine were! Don't ask!!
Thanks again and regards, Lecia

How to copy Address Book info to paste into a document or eM?

This seems like something everyone would want to do all the time - but I don't know how to do it in ADDRESS BOOK. I go to an Address Book card which I've filled-out with all the key information. OK but now I want to take all that info and copy it to the clipboard (or clipboards thanks to CopyPaste) - and then paste that contact information somewhere.
I don't find how to do that simple act! I can copy line-by-line the name, address, eM etc. etc. etc. - but unless I have pasted all that info previously into the NOTE section, then it is aggravatingly impossible to just do a copy paste -- unless I'm missing something - I must be!
ALSO: Printing a card is also 17th century - each time I must click on all the items I want to print - why can't the default mode be to print EVERYTHING?!
Any comments - perhaps I'm really missing something here - but I don't think so...

...create an automator service to copy the contact info to clipboard.
You start with a Service that receives no input in Any application. Add a Get Selected Address Book People action. Add a Get Contact Information action and set it how you'd like, returning Formatted Text. If you want to be able to choose the items that you copy each time, click the Options button and select "Show this action when the workflow runs." Now add a Copy to Clipboard action. Save the Service and go to Keyboard Shortcuts of the Keyboard System Preferences. Enable the new service and give it a command key shortcut. Now, with a contact selected, hit the shortcut you made and it will copy the info to the clipboard.
Hi Barney,
This workaround is fantastic. Thanks. It took me 15 minutes (plus 15 mins getting distracted and trying to get my head around the automator application).
Now I can copy and paste contacts from Addressbook to emails quickly and easily. In the most part it solves my issue which was exactly as described by Stephen.
It's not quite perfect though. If you select the option to bring the field labels to the clipboard, the resulting paste is messy (tabs, spaces and carriage returns) and takes quite a bit of tidying. Any way around this?
Also, I cant see a way to get some missing fields (EG work Fax). Not that this is all that important because most of the important fields are there (who uses fax's these days?).
I cant understand why Apple don't have this feature in Address book, especially when it is so easy to create a workflow for it , but only when told how to with step by step instructions such as yours. The Automator application seems powerful and user friendly, but requires some training. Do Apple have any tutorials on it?
Thanks again.

Not able to copy music into ipod

Have an Ipod Shuffle 2nd gen. Am not able to copy music from the library either manually or thro autofill. The msg flashed is - "the ipod is synced with another itunes library. Do u want to erase this ipod and sync with this lib". Have deselected the "replace all items ..." in Autofill settings but no respite. Same msg flashed while trying to copy manually. No memory space issue. Any help ???

Tell it yes you want to delete the music and sync the music from this computer. The Shuffle can only be linked to one library.
