Import addresses into previous recipients but not into address book

I would like to import a list of email addresses into the previous recipients list. I know how to import them into my address book but I don't want them all in my address book. I just need them to be available to auto complete when I start typing them. Is there a way to do that?

Mail's previous recipients list is not a user modifiable database other than to remove entries in the database.

LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

Imported Address Book not linking - when typing, results are red

OS - Windows Vista
Thunderbird Version 24.6.6
Issue: Address book was imported into Mozilla from Windows Live Mail 2006. When trying to send an email, even though the contacts are listed in the address book, when typing them out in a new email, they are still flashing up in red.
Troubleshooting performed: Composed new mail, typed out email manually - this added to address book. There were four copies of the address book listed, deleted the duplicates and migrated the addresses from the imported book to Personal Address Book. Still not working. Opened Address book and selected contact, attempted to compose mail to selected contact, failed. Checked Address Book entries - found that the entries didn't import properly into the following fields:
First, Last, Email - rather they got imported as Display Name, Nickname (with nickname being the email address)
Solution: Went into each contact, and modified them by moving the 'nickname' (which contained the email address) to the 'email address' field. Now able to send emails through to the contact.
Questions:
1) When importing the Address from Windows Live Mail - how can we stop it from importing/mapping the email address field into the nickname field?
2) Is there a faster way to update all the contacts to copy across from Nickname field to the Email field?
Thanks,
Angela

If you import via CSV fie, you should be shown a dialog that asks you to re-sort address book fields so the fields in the imported address book correspond with those in Thunderbird's Address Book.
Did this not happen?
See "From somewhere else to Thunderbird:" here:
http://www.ramsden.org.uk/11_Thunderbird_Settings_and_the_Profile.html
I don't know of any easy way to work directly with the address book file itself; it's not organized in a user-friendly manner internally. These matters are usually best addressed either before importing (i.e. tweak the CSV file in a spreadsheet program) or via the import dialog.
Alternative formats such as vcf or vCard may avoid the need to massage the data, but IMHO are less suited to managing address books. If you can use these formats, this add-on can be useful:

Imported address book contains six copies of each address

I imported my Outlook Express address book (Address Book.WAB) into TB, but now I have six copies of each address in the imported address book. Deleting the imported address book and importing again only adds another copy of each address. How can I eliminate all the extra copies of each address?

Gosh, after three days cannot anyone tell me how to (COMPLETELY) delete my imported address book so I can start fresh? Each time I think I have deleted my imported address book, I try to import again and the book contains one additional copy of each address. I am up to six copies at present. It seem apparent to me that each time I am not successfully deleting the imported address book

How Do I Make Import Address Book Archive Work Properly?

I have several address books archived. I have one for Christmas cards, I have another for my neighborhood watch program and others that I use at various times. Some of the archives were made using Tiger and some I have created in Leopard. When I Export an Address Book Archive it does so without a problem. When I Import one of my Address Book Archives, to replace whatever address book is currently located in Address Book, the import does not work. Once I try to import, I must quit Address Book then reopen it and I still have the Address Book resident that I was trying to replace. The only way I have found to replace the resident address book is to first archive the current book for the sake of having it backed up, then delete all the names in the book by selecting all then deleting by hitting the delete key or by selecting Delete Cards using the Menu. After the names are deleted, then Importing an archive works fine.
Is anyone else having this problem or possibly have a solution to making Address Book work properly without having to delete all the current names before Importing an archive?
Information: I have deleted the Address Book Folder located within the Home/Library/Application Support folders and rebuilt it under Leopard OS and then pasted the names that were resident before deleting the folders. So far, I still cannot get the Import Address Book Archive function to work properly. Thanks in advance for any helpful information or hints.

Ok! Hmm... I indeed have tried to import an archive, did get the message, replaced all and had it working fine for me so it should for you I would think.
Have you tried to log in your computer as a different user, launch AB and try to toggle back and forth between archives to see if you experience the same issue? If not, then it is a user specific issue, if yes, then it may be more a case of app/system issue.
If you are able to overwrite in AB under a different user, then I would suggest you log in back to your main user and repair permissions (applications/utilities/disk utility repair permissions.
As for your use of AB and different archives, I am sure no one is bothered by that. We are all users here trying to learn and/or help others. I would only point out that if you cannot find a solution to your problem, you may want to consider working with AB in a different manner than you have in the past and by your description of usage groups and smart groups will more than handle your contacts while avoiding mixing apples and doughnuts - but I am sure you have thought of that already !!
hope this helps

Can I import address book info from mac 10.5 to 10.7

Can I import address book info from Mac 10.5 to 10.7? It tells me "You can't use this version of the application Address Book with this version of Mac OS X. You have Address Book 4.0.6."

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Try moving just the folder at Mac HD/users/~/Library/Application Support/Address Book from 10.5 to the same location in 10.7.
Or in Address Book on the old Mac go to the File menu and choose Export Contacts Archive, copy that file to the new Mac and in Address Book on the new Mac go to File menu Import, browse to the archive file on the new Mac and choose it.

Import Address Book into Entourage

I posted a question before about a problem with Mail and Exchange/Outlook. In doing some additional research it appears I can solve my problem by using Entourage.
Now I have to try and export the addresses in the Apple Address Book into Entourage. It appears Apple Address Book will not export in a comma delimited format and Entourage will not import vCards.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
David

David,
This was posted in MacFixIt and it works perfectly:
Entourage addresses into Address Book:
1. Create a new desktop folder. Name it anything you want, but v-card would be appropriate, because that's what you will be creating.
2. Open Entourage's Addresses and select the ones that you want to bring over.
3. Drag these addresses into the v-card folder.
4. Drag the v-card folder into the Name field of Apple's Address Book. You can safely trash the folder after you are finished.
Apple addresses to Entourage:
1. In Apple's Address Book, select the addresses that you want to export to Entourage.
2. Open Entourage Address Book and drag those addresses into Entourage Address Book. If you are exporting multiple addresses, hold Option while you do this, otherwise only the topmost address will be exported and you'll have to do it one-by-one.
These methods are not perfect. You may find some minor errors, such as a Home email coming across as Work, but otherwise you'll get everything.

Import address book into messenger express (csv to ldif tool)

i have read here there is no support for this.
but i searched google, and found what appears to be a nice tool from novell.
http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/13658.html
however - i need a little help figuring it out.
it includes an exe, a control file, and maybe some sort of data mapping file.
i have my csv of addresses, does anyone have experience with this tool?
can someone provide advice on the formatting sun's directory requires, and how to import it into a user's address book (so that the addresses would show-up using messenger express)?
thanks,

ME is going away. CE is the future.
Yes, you can run CE/UWC without Calendar Server. The Calendar tab simply does not show up.
JES 5 is scheduled to make a rather major change. ME will be gone, and UWC will communicate via IMAP.....
This may slip to JES6, but that's the last map I heard about..........

Import Address Book 4.0.6 into Address Book 4.1.2

My MacBookPro (purchased July 2007, don't know operating system) broke June 2009. Mac store put hard drive in an external case. I'm trying to import my contacts from the MacBookPro external hard drive Address Book 4.0.6 into my new imac desktop Mac OS X 10.5.8.
The new computer will not open the old Address Book at all. Can't read, can't export. The new Addresss Book 4.1.2 will not import or open the Old Addresss Book contacts. I've tried dragging too. I also tried to replace the new Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder with the old one from the external hard drive. Any ideas?

The new computer will not open the old Address Book at all. Can't read, can't export.
That's to be expected. Address Book 4.0.6 requires Mac OS X 10.4.x, so if you're not running that, you can't open it and export the contacts.
You need to install 10.4.x, open Address Book 4.0.6, export all the contacts as a single vCard file, then on a Mac with 10.5.8 installed, open Address Book 4.1.2, then drag & drop the vCard file onto the open Address Book window to import those contacts.

XML import issues in CS5.5, but not CS5...

Hi guys,
I'm currently using the Production Premium CS5.5, and have been trying to import an XML from Final Cut Pro 7 into Premiere. The issue is that none of my audio tracks appear in the sequence, nor any video tracks aside from my 2 main tracks.
This isn't a problem in the previous version (CS5), as I can import the same XML and all my audio tracks, etc. show up in the sequence.
Since I just started playing with CS5.5, I'm wondering if there's something I don't have set up properly? Is there a conflict w/ having CS5 and 5.5 installed? Has anyone else encountered a similar issue?
Thanks for the response, if you got it. I really really appreciate it.

So, I started figuring out what the issue is, but not how to fix it:
I had some overlay graphics (Quicktimes w/ Alphas) that were placed over my main video track, which I suppose Premiere doesn't like.
The thing I can't figure out, is why I could still bring in the rest of the project with CS5, but not CS5.5.....
