In Address Book, how to stop notes insert point jumping to the top? of the page

Completely maddening thing that address book - and no other app I have ever encountered does, as you are typing information into the notes field of a contact, it will suddenly jump the cursor up to the start of the page, often leaving one word half finished and adding onto the front of some other bit of information is a totally crazy way.
I use three Macs, all of them do it. Has anyone else encountered this?
It seems to be since the ghastly faux leather Lion address book has been introduced, ( I assume Mr Jobs had nothing to do with that )
Any ideas on how to prevent it happening? Im not a touch typist, so I have to keep looking at the kbd, then I wont realise until half way through a sentence it has decided to split it in half and put some of it at the top of the page. Crazy.
Thanks
Stephen

Address Book in Lion will not launch an email from the contact card.

I used to be able to go to a contact in Address Book on the macbook pro and double click the Email field on the contact card and it would either launch Mail with an email addressed to that address or it would give me the option to do so. In Lion nothing happens. If I right click it asks me to open the URL of the website of the email address with Safari and not Mail.
For example: Open Address Book, double click a contact and double click the Email field lets say just for example, [email protected] It used to launch the Mail app with an email addressed to [email protected], however now nothing happens when you double click the Email field on the card. If you right click it you get the option to open the URL and it sends you to www.apple.com
Is this new with Lion? In Snow Leopard it worked great.

Address Book v 6.1.3 allows you to place the mouse cursor over the word "home" and then
click to reveal a context sensitive menu - "Send Email" is but one of the options available.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

How do I create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address book. I already have three address books created for me by Thunderbird. I add all new addresses to one of those but am afraid to delete the other address books because some of their addresses are not repeated in my "main" address book. So if I don't delete all the names in one of the existing books, I need to create an empty book that will not mix the addresses with those in another address book. HOW DO I CREATE A NEW, EMPTY ADDRESS BOOK? I want to be able to create various mailing LISTS using the addresses in this new book so I will eventually have a special address book with a variety of mailing lists I can use as I wish.

In 24.4.0 there is no File|New|Address Book. There is File|New|Address Book Contact. How do I create a new address book ?

How to send a message to an address book list as "bcc", not as "to"?

I have various lists of different people on my personal TB addressbook. If I press "write" (to a particular group), TB by default creates a message with all the recipients in "To" mode - i.e. all the recipients will see each other's email addresses. How do I change the default message setting to "bcc" without having to change every single entry in the email manually?

Do not start a message in the address book. It is not the best place to do that.
That is what the Write window is for. Open the Write window and turn on the contact sidebar by pressing F9.
Select the contact, contacts or list that you want to send to and then use one of the ADD TOO: buttons at the bottom of the sidebar.
Hold the control key while clicking items to select multiple items.

n Mac Mail on OS 10.5.8 I am receiving bogus emails which claim to be sent by people in my address book, but actually are not. How does this happen and how can I correct this problem

You said:
I am receiving bogus emails which claim to be sent by people in my address book, but actually are not.
...and:
Are you saying that my address book has not been hacked into? That others are getting these email addresses from another source?
This confuses me. Are you saying that you are receiving bogus e-mails from some of your contacts, or are you saying that they are receiving bogus e-mails from you?
If the latter, there are a number of reasons that people might be getting e-mail from you. Malware, though technically possible, is extremely unlikely. See Someone is sending messages from my e-mail address!
If the former, that's rather unusual. The only decent explanation I can think of is that a bunch of your Windows-using contacts got infected with something and their machines are being used to spam everyone in their contact lists, which would include you.

All of my Internet Explorer addresses disappeared from my address book - how can I get them back (I do not use Outlook)??

I just downloaded the newest version of Firefox (from 3.6 to 4.0). I went into my address book, and only a couple of names appeared - all the rest (groups and individuals) disappeared. I found them in an old version of Explorer. How do I copy and export them to Firefox (I don't use Outlook)?

What happened when this change occurred? What is an "IDN update"?
Can you provide a screenshot (suitably obfuscated) to demonstrate the "my name appears broken seemingly into columns" effect?
I don't know of anything formally called a "group" in Thunderbird's address book, so any other words or names that appear might help here. For instance, my Address Book has mentions of Address Book Contact, Address Book and List. The "List" is perhaps the closest to the group concept used in other address book environments.
Finally, what version of Thunderbird and what OS are you usng?

In Address Book, how do I move all cards from my 'last import' smart group into a new group that I will create? So far I am not being allowed to Edit Smart Group!

You’re going to have a very big problem and very soon. These missing pics are the beginning of trouble.
the total size of all my folders on my 60gb internal drive is 46.5 gb, yet only 1.9 gb is available,
OS X needs about 10 gigs of free space on the hard drive for normal OS operations such as virtual memory and temporary files. Without this space the machine slows down as the OS hunts for free space, files become fragmented and applications begin to crash. The risk of data corruption increases exponentially.
You must, as a matter of urgency, make space on the drive. I cannot stress this enough.
You may be able to recover the pics from your camera card using an app such as MediaRecover

Address Book "Edit Distribution List" not working in Lion 10.7.2

I have been told by people in my "Groups" that I am sending to the wrong e-mail addresses. I checked and sure enough so I went to edit the distribution list for that group and it's greyed out. It worked prior to this update. My wifes is still using 10.7.1 and edit didtribution list is not greyed out.....anyone having the same issue or any ideas where it is now or how to re-enable it....or is it just broken? Also I am contented into iCloud.

To add to my original post.... My wifes OS was 10.7.1 and I just finished the update to 10.7.2 and signed into iCloud. I first transfered iCal but left Address Book. When I went into Address Book and checked the Distribution List it was not greyed out. Next I transfered Address Book to iCloud and checked Dist List and it was greyed out. Next I removed Address Book from iCloud (leaving a copy of it on the computer), restarted AB and checked to see if DL was still greyed and it was not. So no fixes here but if you want the functionality of the DL you could turn off Address Book in iCloud temp until they come up with a fix. Important: if you turn off Address Book from iCloud be sure to leave a copy on your puter and of course before doing any of this make a Archive Backup of Address Book. I guess at this point it'll just be a waiting game until a fix comes out. Cheers, Neil

How to do not insert the message content in the Message Inbox when use MFMessageComposeViewController control

I can't remember the steps, but if i'm not wrong, there are many "next" to click, and at the last windows, there is one dialog box with "do not show this message again".Maybe something to do with the registry, to enable to view this dialog box again. Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2012 06:38:24 -0700

Address Book vCard export includes Notes, even when I turn off the option.

When I do an export of an individual vCard, it exports the notes field, even though I have that box unchecked in preferences. I will uncheck the box again and after I do the export I notice the program has re-checked the box automatically. If I look at the exported vCard it will includes the notes field. How do I do an export and exclude the notes field?

V.K. -
Thanks for the help. I tried both methods with the same results. I then tried deleting both files at the same time and also the file com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist, then emptying the trash and re-launching the program. I unchecked the box to export the notes field and it worked for the first export only. After a second export the box was checked again and the vCard had the notes field.
I was wondered if it was related to Mobile Me, but I looked on my Powerbook which also has OS X 10.5.8, Address Book 4.1.2, and is also synched and the exports are working fine there (no export of the notes field).
Any other ideas? Everything is backed up with Time Machine, so I wouldn't mind nuking the whole thing.

When I access the address book, how can I copy an address without having to open the person's info in the edit window?

When I find a person's address in the address book and highlight their name in one pane, in the lower pane their info shows up. Unfortunately, highlighting the information I want is disabled. So, I open their info in the edit window, and then click on the appropriate tab.
Getting a single piece of information is not so inconvenient, but when you're putting together lists it is rather onerous to do it that way.
Being able to highlight and copy off the address book panes would be cool. Thanks

In an earlier communication, I had said that this was possible, at least with TB on Windows, but I realize now that it's only possible when a certain add-on is enabled: [https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook]
http://chrisramsden.vfast.co.uk/3_How_to_install_Add-ons_in_Thunderbird.html
Install the add-on, and see if you can now highlight info in the Contact Pane by dragging the cursor. Ctrl-C (or the Mac equivalent) to copy the highlighted text to the clipboard.
You may notice that right-clicking an address in the Contact Pane now shows a Copy command, but a bug in the add-on prevents this option from being active.

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade.
It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
After printing, trash the added versions.

In Address Book, how can i modify several contacts (several cards) at the s

Hello,
In Address Book, how can i modify several contacts (several cards) at the same time ?
for exemple : I have 100 contact which live in Paris, I select all of them together, but when I put "Paris" in the field "city", it puts "Paris" only in the fisrt contact !
how to edit several contact at a time ?
And I would like to put some kind of "tags", or words, in "remark", also by selecting several contact and edit them together...
Thanks by advance !
Alexandre.

Welcome to the discussions, Alexandre1975 et bonjour.
Just using Address Book this can't be done, but if you are prepared to try a little Applescript it is easy. This script will set the city for example - but only if there is already an address.
AK
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "Address Book"
set ContactList to the selection
repeat with ThisOne in ContactList
set city of first address of ThisOne to "Paris"
end repeat
end tell</pre>
(The recent upgrade to the discussions has disabled the link that allows direct opening of a script, so run Script Editor and copy in the script.)
