Is it possible to remove "Contacts" from my Macmini and then reinstall it?

The Contacts program has changed the name of a contact that I had a correct email address.
The example you gave (now removed by a moderator) doesn't show that the email address changed. It shows that the recipient's name associated with the address changed. I don't know why that happened, but it doesn't necessarily indicate a problem with Contacts. You might have had two contacts with the same address.
I don't seem to have a Address button in my toolbar.
Open a message-editing window and select
View ▹ Customize Toolbar...
from the menu bar. From the sheet that opens, drag the button labeled Address upward (not downward) into the toolbar if it's not already there, then click Done.
Click the button to see a list of your contacts. You can make multiple selections.

  • How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only?

    How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only, which have a different user with a separate Apple ID?

    You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How do i remove  osx server from my mac mini and just run mac osx lion

    i don'r wish to run osx server just osx lion. how do i remove the server software?

    One possibility is to obtain the DMG for OS X Lion, boot from it and reinstall the client version.
    In my past experience, you'll keep the OS X Lion Server recovery partition, but you will most definitely be running OS X Lion without the server software deployed.
    (I'm not sure if you can uninstall the Server software from a Mac Mini Server -- this appears to be integrated with the OS)

  • I purchased a used Mac Mini and the previous owner did not remove their information.  How do I do this?

    Operating System is Mavericks and I have no discs, etc.  I've tried to add a new admin and delete the old one but everything is asking me for the original password, which I don't have.

    Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
    The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
    How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
    1. If you don't own another Mac
    a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
    2. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    3. Partition and install OS X
    a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the  Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
              OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
              The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
              You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
    In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
    d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
    4. Other issues
    a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

    1.  You cannot download files with RDC.

  • How can I transfer Elements 10 from my Mac Mini to my new iMac?

    Hi all!
    I recently purchased Elements 10 and installed it on my Mac Mini only because my old iMac was dying.  I now have a new iMac and I would like to have Elements 10 on the iMac and remove it from my Mac Mini.  I want to do this because the Mac Mini is used as a music server.  The iMac desktop is my main computer and is a much better place to have Elements 10.
    Can I do this?  What do I need to do?
    Thanks in advance!

    On the mini, go to Editor>Help Deactivate. Then install PSE on the imac. You can actually have it on two computers, but if you don't want it on the mini anymore you might as well free up that activation for future use.
    Don't try to copy PSE to the new computer. It installs stuff in many places, not just the applications folder, unless you have the app store version, in which case you would just go to app store>purchases on the imac to add it there. The app store version can be installed on all the macs that use the same app store/itunes ID, no matter how many that may be,

  • Airplay icon disappeared from Yosemite menu bar. Yet appears in iTunes. How do I get it back so I can airplay from my mac-mini

    This seems to have transpired since the upgrade of my Motorola ARRIS SURFboard  modem/router to the duel band 2.4G/5G model. (white) All my apple products work great via WI-fi and I'm getting 58Mbps average. I can stream audio through iTunes. The existing issue is simply no icon to mirror or stream content from my mac-mini to the Apple TV.

    First, open System Preferences -> Displays, and make sure that the option "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" is ticked. If it is ticked, untick and tick it. Note that you can also try choosing your Apple TV there next to "AirPlay Mirroring" to check that it shows up correctly.

  • ITunes removed contacts from iPhone and will no longer sync

    iTunes 10 on OS X Lion removed all my contacts from my iPhone 3G and will no longer sync them. I had about 500 contacts, I'm not about to enter them manually. Now I have no idea who is calling or texting. This is absolutely ridiculous! There is absolutely no support!

    If iTunes will not sync contacts to your iPhone4...
    Go to
    Settings
    Main, contacts etc.
    scroll down to "Contacts"
    under "contacts you see a list. Choose the menu "Default Account"
    You will see a choice between "From My Mac" and "iCloud"...select "From my Mac"
    This solution worked for me!

  • Is it possible to pass contacts from pc to iphone 5?

    is it possible to pass contacts from pc to iphone 5?

    Hello yoseba, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you want to move or sync contacts on your PC with your iPhone 5.
    Depending on which application on your PC stores your contacts, you may be able to sync them with your iPhone using iTunes or iCloud. 
    For example, iCloud will sync contacts from Outlook 2007 or later, as mentioned in the System requirements for iCloud.
    You can find the steps to set up iCloud or iTunes to sync on these support pages:
    Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
    Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
    Sincerely,
    Jeremy

    This information is correct for Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.
    It's also correct for Outlook if the Outlook Calendars where exported in the ics format.

  • Remove Contacts from all Devices and PCs

    Hi:
    I'm an old Skype user and i have never been in the need of removing contacts since i had to remove one two weeks ago.
    I did the "remove contact" from Skype for iPad... Then i logged in with skype for mac and everything ok, the contact was not showing in my list. But today, my Android Skype logged in accidentaly and it had an old contact list because it has been offline for weeks. When i checked the contacts, it showed the contact that i removed two weeks ago as "pending request", and then when i checked it in Skype for Mac it appeared again as "pending request".
    My question is:
    Is Skype sending a request to a contact that i removed when i sign in from a device that was not connected when i performed the removal?
    Do this contact receive any kind of contact request when that happens? or is it only a sync problem between devices?
    I'm concerned because i don't want to seem sending a request every time i sign in from a device that was not connected when i actually removed that contact for privacy reasons.
    Regards!

    All Contacts is exactly what it says, all of your contacts. You can't remove contacts from that group.
