Labels for christmas cards.

Before downloading Lion OS I used appleworks to print lables with names and addresses on a sheet of 30. I used these for Christmas card
mailing. Is there any other program that will do this?

Print labels for Christmas cards from all Contact cards

I want to print labels for Christmas cards from all Contacts. It looks like I can print only the active card. Don't see any way to print them all on a labels sheet from Avery

http://www.podfeet.com/blog/tutorials-5/how-to-create-address-labels-from-osx-co ntacts/

I need help entering ALL of my addresses for Christmas card address labels on my new iMac. Whats the best way to do this?

Anyone have any tips how to get started with address labels? I went to my address book, but it looks so time intensive. Can I mail merge addresses I put into a excell spread sheet to print labels??

Don't waste your time with formatting in any of those programs - creating two pages for cards, blah blah blah.
The best way to mail merge on a mac is using address book.
People think merging got harder, but apple made it easier - more intuitive. You don't merge mailing labels through a word processor - you do it through the program which houses the addresses. If the addresses aren't in address book yet, that's a snap.
First, go to your program/file with the addresses (pages, numbers, excel, etc.). I think it's easiest to use numbers.
make sure the column headings are set to Mac Address Book Standard Names - that way you won't have to spend too much time mapping them in address book. (if you're not sure what those are - open address book and just a view a card/record, or open pages or numbers and search in the help menu for the term "merge field names" and it will give you a list. They're pretty simple - things like "First Name" "Last Name" "Street Address" etc.
For christmas cards, I add an extra column under the heading "Note" and input "Christmas Card List" for every record.
Once your data is formatted with the correct column names, export the list to a csv file.
Open Address book in mac and import the list - make sure the columns match up with the correct fields.
It might ask if you want to overwrite or update - that's up to you.
If you know your christmas card list has the most recent address info, hit update.
Once the import is done it should take you to the front page for the address book in which you'll be given the choice to view Icloud addresses (if you sync those) and also the Last import. Any groups or smart groups you have will show up in the list too.
Click on Last import - make sure all the addresses and names you just imported are there. If not, something went wrong - go back and check your import field mapping. If all's good, keep rollin'. (it helps to scroll to the bottom of the import list to get the count of imported records)
Here, you can do one of two things - create a group or a smart group.
For a regular group - Highlight all the records on the right panel in your last import, then go to file > new group from selection. Rename your group christmas cards or something like that.
I prefer to create smart groups.
For that, goto file > new smart group. You'll come to a filter window. Click on the first drop down box and scroll to "Note." Then in the second drop down box choose "is" and in the third and final input box on the right, enter the text from the note column you created in the address list file. I used "Christmas Card List".
That will create a smart group, such that any time you enter a new address or contact in the address book with the note field that equals "christmas Card list" it will automatically be entered into this group.
Either way, you're only one step away from labels.
With that Christmas Card List selected in address book, go to print. When the print dialogue box opens, make sure to click on the button for show details toward the bottom left. That will open up your choices for style.
Under "Style" click on mailing labels.
Under "Layout" choose your label layout (i use avery 5160). It will show you a picture of the label and you can tell if it's the right one. You'll also notice the labels are being merged correctly, with one address per label, rather than one name for the entire page - like if you try to do this through pages.
Print away.
Hope that helps.

In Address Book, I would like to have a field "File As". So, l can list "Joe Smith", as "The Smith Family". I will use this when I print labels for Xmas cards and such. Thanks!

How do I print "and Family" on address labels for Holiday cards?

I have a holiday list and when I try to set it up to print labels, I would like to be able to add Family on the labels so it appears to go to everyone in the family.
I don't want to change the "card" to include & family because it affects all emails etc. I just want to do it for these labels. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Skip

Hi Todd
I've managed to solve this for the moment but it's a long-winded way of doing it. I used Entourage to import contact details from Address Book and then exported the data as a CSV file. I was then able to import this into a Filemaker Pro database which allows a bit more flexibility for creating labels with spouses and "& family" etc.
It's a shame Filemaker couldn't come up with a better Address Book application for Apple. I love the integration with Mail, .Mac and the synching capabilities but as an application, I find it pretty inflexible.

I bought itunes cards for my boys for christmas, cards will not load to their ipods

I am having the sasme problem. I got two itunes gift cards and I cannot redeem them.

Printing Addresses for Christmas Cards

How do I print a group of addresses from my iCloud contacts to self-adhesive mailing labels? My computer is a PC.

Mail merge prints two labels for some contacts. Why?

We use a Mail Merge from our Contacts.app to print mailing labels for Christmas cards. FWIW, our Contacts are kept in sync with a Gmail account. (This hasn't proven faultless, but that's a topic for another time.) For many Contacts, where *only one address is listed*, two address labels are printed. I cannot determine how to avoid this waste of paper. Suggestions?

Hi Daniel, and a warm welcome to the forums!
After all those progress bars, have the other PDF files been saved elsewhere?
Did you check if it might be one big multi-page PDF?

Contacts - print address labels for a family instead of several individuals - i.e. "Smith Family" instead of Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith

Greetings
I'm trying to print out address labels for Christmas cards. Is there a way to print out one for an entire family instead of everyone separately as individuals? For instance, I have a separate entry for Mr. John Smith and Mrs. Jane Smith. I'd like to print out one label that is for "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith" or "Smith Family."
Is there a way to do this? I suppose I could just do a company that is "Smith Family", but I'm trying to avoid that if possible.
Thanks!
John

I think you may want to export your contact list to Excel (or Google docs) or another format where you can edit the list (remove names, change fields, etc.).
Once you have a clean list that has all the names in a clean format that you want to print onto the labels then you import that spreadsheet or document into a program that has label making abilities and a mail merge feature.
What type of labels are you using?
There are several label programs out there that have mail merge capabilities and labeling support. I am happy to provide some recommendations once I understand your needs.

Can you print thicker envelopes (ones for holiday cards have are a little thicker paper stock)?

Have an HP C7200 AllPurpose Printer >> Can't seem to print to envelopes that are a little thicker in stock, such as for Christmas cards. I have the paper size set up correctly (5"x7"); but does not feed/print consistently or sometimes jams. I usually only put a few envelopes, maximum 5 at time. Any advice? Is there a place to specify thicker paper/envelope is being used? Couldn't find on the printer menu, or in Word Printer setting options.

Hi,
All printers (from any brand) can only support the thickness of paper (using weight) up to a limit. Using heavier paper than maximum supported weight on any printer, printer can not feed the paper or/and can jam the machine.
Regards.

How do I delete information from my Christmas card label list?

How do I delete information from my Christmas card LABEL list? I have tried and tried.

First, be aware that this isn't an area where I have much knowledge or experience -- so you may get a better answer from someone else here.
Preview is usually used for PDF and pictures to view documents or photos and while it has some capabilities to "mark up" those documents it isn't meant to work like a word processor to modify them. PDF is Portable Document Format and is primarily used to send a document to someone in a way that they can read it on their computer without having a particular program (that you might have but that they might not have), but not have the ability to change that document.
I have Christmas labels that were created via Avery (their online site) and they are also in PDF format and are also not editable to my knowledge. If I need to change any of them this year I will go back to the Avery program and create a new batch from the saved source address list. How were your labels originally created? You may have to go back to that point and create another document.

Christmas Card Labels

I have a moderate-sized list of contacts in Address Book, including about 250 people that I like to send Christmas cards. Many of these people are business associates, so correspondence during the year requires Mr. John Doe or Dr. William Smith on the envelope or address labels. However, I would like to send the Christmas card to John and Sally Doe or The Smith Family. In prior years, I just spent an afternoon and re-typed the first name slot for the card-receivers, and later restored the first names from a backup for business correspondence. There has to be a better way--any suggestions? Thanks.

We use a program called +The Printshop 2+.

My girlfriend gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, so I switched to the Canada store and spend most of it with .02¢ remaining. *Now I want to switch back to my original store, but I can't.

My friend gave me a $25 iTunes gift card for Christmas, so I switched to the US store and spend most of it with 11¢ remaining. *Now I want to switch back to my original store, but I can't. iTunes keeps saying "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores.*

You might just have to contact Apple and ask them to remove it (losing it). Usually people clear a balance by buying one song and having the exact remainder charged to their credit card, but if you don't have a US credit card you cannot do that.

I got an 15 dollar iTunes card for Christmas. I took a picture of the card code to redem the card I accomplished that but when I try to download an app that cost money it asks me two security questions that I forgot the awnsers to.what do I do?

I got an 15 dollar iTunes card for Christmas. I took a picture of the card code to redem the card I accomplished that but when I try to download an app that cost money it asks me two security questions that I forgot the awnsers to. Than I click the forgot security questions than it sends it to my email but that's the problem I do not get any email.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of doing so include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
