Lion address book prints extra page

For years I had no trouble printing envelopes straight from Address book. But since I upgraded to Lion, when I print an envelope, it prints (1) the envelope just fine, but then also (2) a blank 8.5"x11" page. How do I get it to stop printing the extra page?

HP printers for years have had a problem printing an extra envelope from the Apple Addressbook Application with the # 10 envelope.
Solution: Select a #9 envelop. This prints about the same size and does not have an extra envelope.
How to: From Address book, select print, Style: Envelopes, Layout: Layout pulldown Official 9 then print
Interestingly the two smaller and two larger sizes only print one envelope. You can test this by clicking pdf and open pdf in preview.
On System 7.4 I cannot find a way to change the orientation to verticle as described above.
I have told Apple.

Invoice print extra page w/o any data in repetitive area or end of report

I did not use Page Footer and reduced those "hidden fielded" height to 26 with checkmark for Adjust Area Height, but the invoice will print extra page with blank repetitive area and page footer, Report Header and Repetitive Header showed.
How to remove the extra page?
I have another one that do not print the extra page but each page has same Invoice Total, Frt, Tax with Remittance Address that should only show in the last page. I know this is because I put Invoice Total in Page Footer. When I remove Page Footer to End of Report area then I got extra page with no data in repetitive area or end of report.

Hi Lily,
i think problem be create in Repetetive Area.
Do this in your PLD,
->> Open your PLD and save as a duplicate PLD (Just testing PLD).
->> Right Click in PLD and Choose the Display Hidden Fields in PLD.
->> Reduce the Height of all fields in Repetetive Area, Page Header and End of Reports.
for example,
->> Select all fields including Hidden fields in Repetetive Area & Repetetive Area Footer and
Reduce the Height in General tab on Properties Widnow.
put the Height -> 15 and Font Size -> 10
->> Reduce the Repetetive Area Height and put the Tick mark in Area Height Adjustment in Format Tab.
Try to remove all fieds(including Hidden fields) in Page Footer and Reduce the Height.
ex. Page Footer Height -> 0
Regards,
Madhan.

Lion address book 3 columns

Is there anyway to pruduce the veiwing of 3 columns in the new address book without turning pages. It seems they have made this not user friendly with this upgrade. I am constatnly going back and forth between pages. OR is there another app out there that uses the old system?

I definitely wrote a piece of mind a few weeks ago.
It sounds horrible, but in my opinion, Steve's last hurrah was a total wooden spoon. Lion is a weak update, and doesn't actually add any cool new features. Instead, it tries — and fails — to bring the simplicity of iOS to the Mac. That "natural" swiping thing is just the tip of the iceberg, there are hundreds of "features" that are just terrible.
iCloud is a disaster. The fact that it doesn't work on Snow Leopard is a travesty, and approximately 1/3 people in the Apple store are having problems with syncing, retrieving, or installing it somewhere. Photostream is tragic in its heavy-handedness. Not to mention the fact that they are incredibly inconsistent in how they name and assign IDs with @mac.com @me.com and @icloud.com (for example, you go to icloud.com, log-in with your @me.com address, but actually, your Apple ID is @mac.com since you're a legacy user.) Ridiculous.
Similarly, Address Book and iCal have been disimproved. I do not understand why they took away useful sidebars in iCal and the third column in Address Book and replaced them with faux-leather body styling.
I hope 2012 is a better year for Apple, starting with fixing some of their last roll-outs.

Pld printing extra pages

hi
i seem to have a problem with print layout designer. it seems to be printing extra pages for my clients AR invoice. it does not happen every time though. the client works with data brought into sap through a add on. we also feel that the problem could be due to the invoice not having to print all the child items and just the parent items alone.
the extra pages are basically blank with all the header and footer information. any idea what this could be? or what i should be looking at to rectify this issue?
thanks

Prem,
It all depends on how your template is setup. Is you template set up as a Multi Page Invoice template.
As you have said it could be because of how the data is for the Invoices imported through the Add On.
What do you exactly mean by "invoice not having to print all the child items and just the parent items alone."
Please let me know

Lion Address Book doesn't accommodate "yyyy-mm-dd" date format..., Lion Address Book doesn't accommodate "yyyy-mm-dd" date format...

Help! How do I get Lion Address Book to accommodate "yyyy-mm-dd" date format?

Nor does Lion appear to accurately insert "long" date format in Word 2011.
Although long date format appears correctly in Language & Text Preferences, when inserted in Word the year inserts only the last two digits of year, e.g., July 27, 11 -- should be July 27, 2011.

Lion Address Book not functioning properly

I am finding OSX Lion Address Book very frustrating.
The search feature sometimes works, sometimes does not.
Even when it finds and highlights the searched contact, that contact's information does not show up.
I have bookmarked one contact and that is the only contact that shows up unless I double-click the contact in the list, then it opens in a separate window.
This is so very inconvenient.
What am I doing wrong?
How does one properly use the Address Book to make it smooth-sailing?
Thanks
Nancy

I'm glad you got your problem solved. Mine was a different solution as shown below.
Thanks for updating.

Give this a shot.
If you are syncing your contacts with something, disable that for now.
Archive your Address book by going to File menu, Export, Address book Archive.
Close Address Book.
Go to the Finder and while holding down the Option key, select Library from the Go menu.
Navigate into Application Support/AddressBook.
Delete addressbook.abcddb.
Open Address Book and see how it works
Turn Syncing back on if applicable.
The file you deleted is a database that indexes the raw data to make display, search, etc faster. However, it does seem to get corrupted with updates.

Lion address book search

lion address book search no longer works - it did a few days ago.. any ideas how to fix?
have just made spotlight reindex the disc. no joy.

Barney 15E has a fix:
If you have MobileMe or any other syncing of your contacts, turn it off.
Open Address Book and archive your Address Book (File, Export, Address Book Archive).
Close Address Book
Go into your user/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the addressbook.abcddb file.
Start Address Book and see if all is ok.
If so, turn syncing back on if appropriate.
I don't know if this will work for your problem. I haven't seen those errors, but I haven't looked for them, either.
The addressbook.abcddb is database that indexes the contacts that are stored in the metadata folder. If that gets corrupted, you'll see things like you describe. Address Book will recreate it when you delete it.

How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2

How do I import addresses from Address Book Ver 4.1.2 to the Lion Address Book version 7.0? Mountain Lion will not allow me to open Address book Version 4.1.2

Do you have any addresses in the Lion version?
If not, copy the AddressBook folder from your username/Library/Application Support/ folder on the old mac (or backup).
Copy it to the same location on your new Mac, replacing the one that is there. Start Address Book in Mountain Lion and it should convert the files to the correct format.
If you do have addresses, it is a little more complicated.
First, create a Contacts Archive (from File>Export menu). This will be your backup.
Next, export the current contacts as vCards.
Then, follow the steps above.
Then, import all the cards you exported. If you select all and double-click, it will ask if you want to add them. You'll then have to add them to whatever groups you had set up.

Address Book printing completely broken

I cannot print at all from Address Book. I am trying to print labels on an iMac G5 with 10.5.8. Here's what happens:
I have a group with about 25 contacts selected in the left column, then choose File>Print. (Often the first time I choose print it does nothing, so I choose print again.) When the print dialog opens, the preview is blank and underneath it says "Sorting..." but never seems to stop. If I then choose the "Layout" tab and click on any of the drop-down menus, the addresses show up in the preview, but "Sorting..." never goes away. The number of addresses reported and previewed in the print dialog is seemingly random (11 or 13 or 22 of the actual 25).
At this point, if I click "Print," the Address Book print settings disappear from the dialog and nothing happens. If I press cancel, either the same thing happens or the whole app crashes. Print to pdf doesn't work either.
I tried printing from a MacBook that is synced to my iMac with MobileMe, but got the same results. I also reinstalled the 10.5.8 combo update and repaired permissions.

Okay, the one test I didn't try before posting turned out to be the answer. The group included some contacts that did not have complete addresses. I didn't realize how badly that would screw things up. After selecting only the contacts with complete addresses everything worked as expected.

Address Book Print problems

I noticed a probable bug in the new version of Address Book in Mountain Lion.
When I want to print a list of my contacts this did not appear in alphabetical order but the printed list is in random order.
This did not happen in the previous version of Lion.
Please can you help me why?
Massimo

I just found a way to print contacts in ABC order. I signed in to my iCloud account online, then went to Contacts. I selected the contact group I wanted to print on the left page (example Xmas card list). On the right page at the bottom, I clicked on the gear symbol and clicked "select all", then clicked again on "print". When the print window appeared, I saved the file to PDF, just to see if the information was in ABC. It was!
print groups or all.... no choices but at least it's a start until they fix it.

How can I make Address Book print labels how I want, or export to Word?

I have found a number of serious problems with Address Book, which unless I can overcome them mean it is entirely useless for me. Almost all are to do with creating mailing labels or envelopes:
1.I can't find any way of defining a sheet format for labels different from those on the pre-defined list. My labels are in 2 columns of 8, on a sheet 12” long by 8” wide, margins 0.5mm top and bottom, and ½” left and right. The labels themselves are 3½” x1½”. Address Book can't do it. It is odd that this is so restrictive, whereas with envelopes one has total flexibility.
2.Although I can define which address I want to print on each label or envelope, I can't find a way of defining which field should be used for the first (name) line. It always consists of the First and Last names as recorded on each card. This is not what I want. For different mailings, I want to use different first lines, as in many cases each card is the address of a family group, the First and Last names simply recording the names of the parents e.g., John and Mary Smith. But for my Christmas mailing I want to print 'The Smith Family', whereas for my charity mailshots I want to print 'Mrs Mary Smith', as she is the charity supporter, not her husband or children.
3.The address layout seems to be fixed, with each element on a separate line. This is not how I want to print, as in some cases it makes for too many lines, particularly on labels. I want to put the zip/post-code on the same line as the county or state, separated by about ½”. But I can't see how to dictate the layout at all. On labels there is a further problem, in that I can't define a vertical and/or horizontal off-set for the text.
4.The Country does not print at all on labels, making the application quite useless for foreign mailings, and I can't find a way of overcoming this. Over half our mailing addresses are affected by this.
5. And another problem really puts the final cherry on the icing of this cake: There is no way I can find of exporting the data from the address book in a format, e.g. a csv file, that I can bring into a word processor where I could do these mailings how I want them. Not only does the box fail to do what I need, it is also locked.
I don't understand why, having set up Address Book on the database principle that one should have have to record each contact only once no matter how many ways one needs to use the data, it seems it has then been implemented in a way that prevents it being used in one of the most obvious ways, to print addresses in a format of the user's choice.
The Applecare adviser tells me the problems I have can't be overcome. Is that right, or is she, and I missing something? Please help.

"It's Christmas card time again and the fact that Address Book is useless for this purpose is really frustrating."
While I sympathise with the functionality of Address Book, I'm old-fashioned enough to write my cards and envelopes by hand (shock! horror!) and get quite p***-off to receive bulk-printed stuff.
Just a thought, peeps.
It'd be all too easy to follow that up with a cheapshot making reference to how many Christmas cards you have to send, but I'll rise above that and explain that some of us might want to use this for business contacts and have 300+ cards to address.
It is a shame that the printing feature from Address Book is so close, yet so far from performing this simple task. It is a shame that Pages can run mail merge, but only for one record per page (which is useless for label printing). It is also a shame that MS Word for Mac does proper labels but doesn't recognise Address Book as a datasource.
These things are all a shame because with Apple's software, you rather expect things to "just work", as per their advertising, and when very simple things don't "just work", it difficult not to feel cheated.

Address Book Print list view column format

Is there a way of changing the column width of the List View when printing the contacts in Address Book? I select all contacts, check the boxes for address and notes and send so PDF in Preview. The left hand column (Names) takes nearly half the page width. The center column with all the addresses, e-mails and notes is very narrow, which causes the text to wrap in the middle of the address or e-mail.
If it can't be changed, does anyone know of an application that will use the address book data and allow me to format pages to my specification?

Thank you KT. I downloaded the utility and was able to create a tab delimited file from Address Book. I also imported the data into Numbers but I could not produce a report format I wanted. I was afraid I was forced to copy the data into Windows and use one of the many address book formatters.
I kept searching the web and read about Palm Desktop for Mac but that did not include the Notes field. Last night, I believe I found a reasonable solution, it is called "Address Book Reports" by Scruffy Software. There are choices of format and page size. I will try it out today and if it's OK will send the $15 shareware fee.

Iphoto photo books with extra pages

I am currently making a photo book. As I scroll through my book, there are no blank pages, but in the photo layout across the top of my screen it shows 2 blank pages. What will my final book look like? Will the extra pages across the top be visible in my photo book even though they aren't visible in the computer version?

I've not seen that in iPhoto '08 - iPhoto '09 does have a thumbnail bug like that that has not been fixed yet
Try clicking on the blank thumbnail and seeing what it shows in the main window
And remember the sure way to know what is going to print is to preview it according to this article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference
