Image Capture in Address Book

It's not possible for me to capture an image in Address Book with the built in webcam. When I try to make a picture it counts back, the led is on but no image is taken and a blank image is dispayed. If I retry the capture, the webcam light is no longer on and an error message appears in the Console:
Address Book\[2812\] --ImageKit Error: QTKit launched an error : userInfo = {
QTCaptureSessionErrorKey = Error Domain=QTKitErrorDomain Code=-1 UserInfo=0xf21c6f0 "Operation could not be completed.";
error's userInfo = {
NSLocalizedDescription = "Operation could not be completed.";
NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion = "The operation could not be completed due to an unknown error. (Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=268451843 \"Operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error 268451843.)\")";
NSUnderlyingError = Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=268451843 "Operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error 268451843.)";
The webcam works fine in Photo Booth and Skype, except if I launch Photo Booth right after quitting Address Book (than it crashes), a minute later it's OK.
Am I the only one with this issue ?

The <$sectionnum> building block is controlled by the Section tab in the numbering dialog. But you are not using that. You are using <n+>, which is a paragraph counter. So, you use the Paragraph tab in the numbering dialog to control paragraph numbering. Select "Restart Paragraph Numbering".
NOTE: After you set the numbering in all the files in your book, you need to update the book in order to see the changes. Did you update the book?

  • 100,000+ "image" files in Address Book's home Library folder

    I was backing up my home folder and noticed that the directory ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Images had 105,619 files taking up over 800 MB of space. I was wondering if anyone else has had this "problem" (I'm not sure what to call it...)

    Hi
    Sorry about the delay in replying to your last message, but I've had a print deadline to meet, which always puts everything else on hold.
    I've opened a few of the .abcdp files with Text Edit and the information is in there, buried among loads of code, so many thanks for telling me that. I've beamed the address book from my other half's Palm (which used to be mine) over to mine, so I should have most of the current contacts which I hope I can transfer onto the iMac. The missing ones, distant members of my family for instance, I will have to search for in the .abcdp files and enter manually into AB (always remembering to take a backup regularly!).
    Unfortunately I don't know anyone with a Mac running Leopard, in fact I only know one other person with a Mac. We freed ourselves from the thralldom of the PC only three years ago and are still the odd ones out with colleagues and friends. Having the Macs has made using a computer enjoyable for the first time in 25 years, ever since we bought a Commodore 700 and I began the daily struggle with various pieces of user-hostile software.
    Many thanks for helping me out. I've put Snow Leopard at the top of my shopping list by the way.
    Regards
    Susan

  • Images lost in Address Book!

    Address Book crashed this evening and the .previous file didn't work. Luckily last month I copied the Address Book Folder in the App support folder in my user folder -- so I transferred it over. My contacts and groups are back BUT the images on the vcards are GONE! The folder for images is still in Address Book>App Support> library>user (all 228 images!) but they're not showing up in Address Book.
    Help!
    Thanks!

    Just something to try. Have you gone to Disk Utility and repaired permissions after doing the update? If not, go ahead and try it.

  • Address Book - how do I remove image when printing labels?

    Hi
    Just getting ready to print the Xmas card labels - thought i'd add an image in the Address Book 'Print' Dialogue - then changed my mind!!!
    Big mistake - there appears to be no (easy / obvious) way to remove the image!!!
    Any ideas please.
    Thanks

    I never could figure out how to do this via the GUI and had to resort to a bit of "trickery". i.e.:
    - quit the Address Book application.
    - in Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences and double click
    on com.apple.AddressBook.plist ( or just type
    "open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    in a Terminal window
    - in the property list editor, delete the value for
    "ABImagePath" , which is under "0" in "ABCustomEnvelopeDefinitions"
    - save the file
    - quit the Property List Editor
    - start Address Book

  • Address Book Images Missing

    Almost all of my images in the Address Book have disappeared. The few that are there are the last 3 or 4 I added. When I look in Application Support/AddressBook/Images folder, I can actually find the missing images. However the UUID doesn't match the contact file in the Metadata folder.
    1) What could cause this to occur?
    2) Is there any way to fix it?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    I've had the same thing happen to me, too. I'm guessing it happened sometime in the last few weeks. I can find the folder with the images but they aren't showing up in the address book or mail. What happened?

  • Images in Address Book 4.0.4

    Hi,
    I am updating my address book and I was wondering if there is way to increase the image size for my contacts. At the moment it just show a tiny image and I have to double click it to see a larger version.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi petelocke,
    The maximum image size for Address Book is 64X64 pixels or a multiple thereof, but if you have something larger (ie.128X128) it will still display 64 pixels square. A larger file size will sometimes compress to a smaller image, and I have found that 72 dpi at 64 square gives me the best resolution.
    But like Allan said, no way to get that image any bigger. Actually, I would be interested in knowing how you are able to double click and get the image to display larger - is this in Address Book?
    Good Luck,
    John

  • Address book image

    please help, how do i transfer an image from my address book to use. it is the only place that i have this image

    Simplest is probably to open the folder Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Images in your Home directory. There you will find a series of image files with long UID-style file names. If you select the first file you will get a preview of it in the directory window; scroll down through the files with the down-arrow key until you find the one you want. Copy it, rename it with a jpg extension and then do with it what you will.
    The quality will not be great.

  • How do i remove my photo from my Address Book entry?

    two questions: first, how do i remove my photo from my entry in Address Book? i should be able to click "Edit", select my photo and hit the Delete key and be done, but no - hitting the Delete key does nothing except make the photo blink.
    second, i just posted a comment on a web page that i've never been to before, on a site that i've never been to before, and my photo appeared on the web page next to my comment. very creepy. anybody know why this is and how i make it stop? does it have something to do with my Address Book entry?
    update: i've consulted Address Book's help and it tells me to select the card then go Card -> Clear custom image, but when i do, that menu item is grayed out.
    further update: i've worked around the problem by taking a screen shot of a blank white area of a webpage and making that my photo...but i shouldn't have to do that and would still like to know how one actually deletes one's photo from Address Book. Address Book's help indicates that i'll find such photos in Library/Images/People, but there's no such directory in any of my Library folders. Address Book's help is not being very helpful today.
    tia...

    there is actually no way to completely delete an image for you address book entry. you can only change it to something else as you did.
    as for the image on that website, most likely it pulled your photo from your webpage on some site like My Space, Facebook etc. do you have a page like that? some sites will tap directly into your webpage and pull your pic from it.

  • Address Book Image Capture

    Hello sorry for posting this again but this bug really annoys me and I need some help:
    While using address book; when I want to set custom image using isight cam, cam preview doesn't work (it captures but without a preview). Cam works fine in other applications but why it doesn't work in address book?
    Thanks Again...

    That's odd, because I checked it (with an external iSight) and it worked fine. I can't suggest why it's not working: you'; just have to smile nicely

  • How do I stop iChat/Address Book image picker attempting to connect to unavailable server?

    I'm using Mac OS X Lion. In iChat, if I click on my personal image then select Modify Image, I get the image picker that allows you to change the image, take a picture from iSight, etc. In Address Book, I can get to this same or similar window when I double-click on the personal image placeholder.
    In both cases, a spinner starts up in the lower left corner and after a few seconds I get an error stating that "the connection to server XXXX has failed." This message will pop up continuously until I close the program. The server that it is trying to connect to is a local Mac OS X Snow Leopard server that used to be part of the network but no longer exists.
    By setting up a DNS entry to get it to attempt to connect to a server that does exist and using Little Snitch, I've been able to deduce that it is NetAuthSysAgent trying to make a TCP connection to port 139 TCP (netbios-ssn).
    First, I find it odd that a Mac program trying to connect to a Mac server would use NetBIOS. I also find it odd that either of these programs would need to connect to the server.
    I have a new OS X Lion server but I no longer join to its directory services. As the issue seems to be some configuration left over from when I was connected to that server, I tried joining the new server and then unjoining to see if that would clean up the settings, but that did not help.
    Performing a find . -type f -exec grep -l "<server name>" {} \; revealed two files:
    .viminfo
    ~/Library/Application\ Support/SyncServices/Local/TFSM/com.apple.Keychain/data.syncdb
    The latter was a SQLite database that did not revel anything very legible.
    I've search high and low for a setting that points to this old server name to no avail.

    First off I want to thank you for sticking with me through this, it's nice to have somebody to shoot ideas around with, it made me think up ideas, what I'm trying to say is, by just writing this down in this thread I solved my own problem. Linc I already deleted almost all of the Login items previously, as I did have the same idea, that something in that spot was trying to connect to the desktop through the network, that didn't work, but for some people it could be a problem. When you first mentioned, "make sure that new windows don't open to a folder on the server.", that comment made me look around for any folders connected to the server, then in my last comment I mentioned the word "alias", turns out that was the problem. In my users folder on the Macbook Pro, I had 2 folders that were alias folders, one was the download folder and the other was the Movie folder, I made new folders and put copies of everything into the folders, then threw away the alias folders and renamed the two new folders I created with their original names, presto no more problem.
    Must be getting old, cannot remember making any alias folders, but I probably did, probably had some great idea to save hard disk space on the Macbook Pro, only has 250 GB disk, the Mac Pro has over 8 Terebytes of space so I thought I'd use it probably, bad idea, sometimes I get too Geeky for my own good. Again, Thanks Linc for sticking with me on this.
    There were interesting ideas on the internet, seems other people have run into similar problems, one suggestion was the terminal to check for any "open processes". link was here, if interested....  http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/25639/why-is-my-mac-constantly-trying-t o-connect-to-another-server
    I'm going to mark your last comment as being helpful, as actually all of it was helpful in forcing me to find those pesky alias folders.

  • Reduce size of custom images in Address Book

    I love Address Book's wonderful integration with Mail.app, my iPod and even my phone. So, one day I decided to set custom images for almost all of my contacts - copying and pasting images into the fields.
    However, afterwards, I realised that my 275 contact address book has ballooned from 2MB to 49.9MB thanks to the pictures. If I export the contacts into a Group vCards, it is an astounding 121.8 MB.
    I feel that Apple should've limited the size of the pictures (automatically resize it just as iPhoto does for email and iWeb does for the web). However, this isn't the case.
    Thus, my question is:
    Is there a script or anything to reduce the size of those custom images? I am not looking forward to deleting the pictures and resizing them before importing them into Address Book. If there is an automated way of resizing the pictures, please let me know!
    Thank you very much!

    Hi mintchocicecream,
    Have a look at this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2271577#2271577
    May be of no help, but sounds like you have larger that necessary files.
    I do mot know of any script, short of a photoshop group resize that would work. Certainly nothing in Address Book.
    Good Luck

  • Mail App connecting to Exchange via IMAP - Address Book Images

    Not a life or death problem, I have multiple accounts in Mail App - some using POP3, Some using IMAP. The IMAP accounts don't show Address Book images at all. The POP3 accounts are fine.
    Odd one, any ideas why?

    For the best Mac compatibility with Exchange, I suggest you use Microsoft Entourage, part of Microsoft Office.

  • Address Book "images" folder is 64GB

    Hi..
    I am hoping someone can assist me. The "images" folder in "user\Application Support\Address Book\" is 64GB and contains over a million items. All items are photos with random names like "41464863-F2BB-4BF2-9494-8161D45F0312.jpeg". (Not all item have the jpeg suffix.

    The "random" names are UUIDs for the person they are attached to.
    I'm not sure how to fix it, but I would consider [resetting sync services|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627].

  • Address Book images not syncing via .Mac sync

    i recently decided to get serious about attaching images to my contacts in address book. the images sync perfectly with the iphone, but they dont sync at all between the other copies of address book on the various macs in my home. the addresses (text) sync just fine -- but not the images.
    what am i missing, here?

    I had the same problem. My Mac's address book (including images) were synced via Missing Sync from my Windows Mobile phone. None of the images transferred to the iPhone. I then went into each Address Book entry and manually resized the image (edit, dc on the image and drag the slider to resize the image) and then resynced. Now all is perfect!
    One side note- if you assign a contact image on the Mac or PC and sync to the phone, the image is shown in a small thumbnail on the top line of the phone when that person calls, etc... If instead you assign a photo on the iPhone itself using the "select current photo" option, then the photo is shown full screen instead of thumbnail! I copied all of my "CallerID" photos to an iPhoto photo album, synced that album to the phone, then manually assigned a photo to a contact on the phone and now they are full screen. Very cool!

  • Address Book Images?

    Has anyone been able to get their contact images from Address Book to sync with their iPhone?
    It appears that in order to have a caller ID image you currently have to take a new one via the iPhone camera unless I'm missing something obvious.

    It works for me, but weirdly I checked an entry in favorites and it didn't show, so I went to the Contacts tab and it was there, then when I looked at favorites again it was there. Strange.
    I also was able to get contact photos from my synced photos, scaled and cropped, and was surprised to see that the photos thus assigned to the contact synced back to the mac.
