In address book on my new macbook pro I can't drag contacts to a new message or drag a group to bcc. What do I need to do?

in address book on my new macbook pro I can't drag contacts to a new message or drag a group to bcc like I could on my 2007 macbook pro. What do I need to do? 

The issue has nothing to do with your MacBook Pro. You are using a different version of OS X.
If you are using Apple's Mail application, it will search both previous contacts and the address book as you type the send address.

  • Address book missing in New Message Window

    Although I can append the Address Book icon to the toolbar in the main Mail window, this is not acessable from the New Message Window.  I have several email accounts and prefer to not use the auto-complete tool in Mail.  However, I'd rather not have to enter the email address manually.  In Snow Leopard, I could search the addressbook directly from the new message window.
    How do I add address to the "To Field" from my address book once a new message is created besides drag and drop from Address Book app?

    Hi.
    You can add the contact to Address Book once you have sent the message. Go to Sent, select the message, and when you see it on the preview pane, in the "To" field, click and hold on the address you want to add, and select "Add to Address Book" from the drop down menu.
    Good Luck.

  • HT2486 Is Mac Address Book already on my MacBook Pro (purchased Nov. 2012) or is it an App. I need to purchase and add?

    I am trying to create an email group and am new to the mac world.  Everything I see points me to the Address Book, but I can not seem to find it on my MacBook Pro.  Can someone point me in the right direction?  Thanks.

    Thanks for the help.  Articles I found all referred to the Address Book and not Contacts...just trying to create some emails lists instead of typing each one, each time.  Thanks again.

  • Address book entries doubling on macbook pro, but not on ipad or iphone, latest everything. Any suggestions?

    Using icloud, address are correct on iphone 4s, and ipad version 1, but are doubling on my macbook pro. All updates are current. Any suggestions? Driving me crazy.

    Check the duplicate contacts are not in another account other than your iCloud account. Turn to Users and Groups view to see what accounts you have.

  • I used an HDMI cable to connect my MacBook Pro and my TV, however, my computer won't recognize that my TV is connected. What do I need to do to be able to watch a movie from my Mac on my TV screen?

    My Macbook doesn't have an HDMI port, so I bought a converter. So I now I have my HDMI connected to my Mac and my TV. The problem is, I can't figure out how to make my computer screen show up on my TV. Do I need to download different software or update something? Or is it as easy as changing a setting?
    When I go to my display settings, my computer screen shows up as an option, but my TV does not. I don't think my computer is reading it is connected. Please help me.
    I will openly admit that I don't know very much about computers, so if you can help me, please break your explaination down for me. This is the info for my Mac:
    I have a Macbook Pro 13-inch,
    Mid 2010 OS X
    Version 10.9.3
    Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256MB

    I am assuming that you are using a Mini Display to HDMI converter and then a HDMI cable.
    Have you opened System Preferences>Displays and selected Detect Displays?
    Ciao.

  • I bought an iphone 4. I have a MacBook Core Duo running 10.4. My husband has a Core Duo 2 running 10.5.8. Is there a way to move my ical and address book info. to his computer so I can sync with my new iphone?

    I bought an iphone 4. I have a MacBook Core Duo running 10.4. My husband has a Core Duo 2 running 10.5.8. Is there a way to move my ical and address book info. to his computer so I can sync with my new iphone without upgrading software.

    Hello hbell,
    is there any reason that you do not want
    to upgrade to v10.5.? Suggest you call
    1-800-275-2273 Apple Support. Automated call
    yet if you call back you can get in touch with an
    Apple Software Specialist. They may be able to ship
    you Leopard so that you can synch your new iPhone
    to you own computer. Have the serial numbers of your
    Mac and iPhone written down and ready for them.
    As far as transferring data to your husbands MacBook
    so that you can sync your iPhone on it I am really not
    sure. Seems like a lot of trouble to get your data onto
    your iPhone.
    Good Luck,

  • Getting Address Book Data to new PC

    Hi.  I need to transfer address book data from my MacBook Air synced to an "old" iPhone 4s to a work pc and then synch that pc to a "new"  work iPhone 4s....any thoughts?  Thanks.

    Normally I'd just say to back up your address book and then use that to re-populate the new one. But you'll have to do some digging to find out if he two versions of the app are compatible.
    Not sure what you are running but the latest Leopard version is 4.1.1 (699).
    If all is good then just;
    +Address Book>File>Export>Address Book Archive...+
    Double click the resulting file on the Leo machine.

  • I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one?

    I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one? There are only a few of the contacts I had, so there must be a location where the rest are, but not sure where to look. And once I find them (with your help), how do I get them into the address book?

    If you copy abook.mab or history.mab into a profile folder, they will show up as Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses. But if the mab files have names other than abook or history, they can only be imported to TB with the use of [https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook].

  • How to bring in Address book to a New User I created on Mac

    I had to create a new userid on my mac and I have an address book on the old userid. How can I bring in the new address book into the new user?
    On the old user I exported the address book to the User\shared directory. Then I logged into the new user and tried to import. It doesn't import.
    Both accounts are Admin. When I look at the address folder in User\shared, it has the red circle on the bottom of the folder. I can't bring it in. HELP

    When I tried to bring in the file, a message says "Reverting will cause your current database to be overwritten".
    When I click Replace All, nothing happens, my entries are not imported. I am not sure what to do next.

  • I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

    I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

    There are a number of developers who have chosen for various reasons not to offer their software through the Mac App Store, so don't assume that if an application is not in the App Store that the application is not available. It may well be available directly from the developer or some other download site. MacUpdate is a good resource for looking for applications:

  • I have a new Macbook pro and can't recall the password I used with my Time capsule - How can I (ideally) retrieve or possibly change the time capsule password?

    I have a new Macbook pro and can't recall the password I used with my Time capsule - How can I (ideally) retrieve or possibly change the time capsule password?

    Remember security on a TC is an illusion.
    Simply press the reset button for 1-2 sec.. you must not do too long .. it will then hard reset.. but soft reset will revert all passwords to default for 5min. ie TC password is now public.
    Remember this the next time because anybody at all can change your passwords.
    Once into the TC you can then open the view passwords if you wanted any weaker security. Click and open the TC.. and click on edit.. then go to the top menu..
    Voila .. all your passwords in plain sight to any Tom Dick and Fred.

  • When I try to access my online bank account thru Firefox, the session times out. This is on a new Macbook Pro. On my old Macbook Pro I can access the site.

    When I try to access my online bank account thru Firefox, the session times out. This is on a new Macbook Pro. On my old Macbook Pro I can access the site. I know it is probably something in settings but cannot figure it out.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • I bought a new Macbook Pro, how can I get my very old macbook cleared of my stuff so I can give it to my grandson. I just want him to be able to use it.

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window.
    Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility.
    You can now follow the instructions on the install screen             

  • I own PSE 10 installed on my MacBook Pro.  Can I use the disc to install it on new iMac?

    Have PSE 10 installed on my MacBook Pro.  Can I use the discs to install it on my new iMac?  also considering PSE 11 and Lightroom 4. Comments?

    Yes you can install it on your new Macintosh.  If it does not have an optical drive then you can copy the contents of the installation media to a USB drive and then install the software from there.
