Looking for more columns in Address Book

Hello,
I am a long time (over 10 years) Palm user so I have gotten used to the Palm Desktop displaying a good amount of information in the Contacts area. I just got an iPhone so I am converting over to iCal and Address Book world. Some thing are driving me crazy and I am wondering if I just don't have a setting right. Here are my questions:
1. In the main Address Book pane, is there a way to have more columns of information about a contact card displayed in the contact finder list? It currently only shows "Name." Is there a way to add other data columns to the screen such as "Company?" Just a list of names can be hard to navigate if you have a lot of contacts and want to quickly find someone by a second field.
2. What is the logic to the order it displays the contacts in the list? It seems kind of random. Does it look at "Last Name" first or "Company" or what?
Thanks,
Sam

No, it's name only, I'm afraid.

The Search field is not limited to the visible information (e.g. name). If you type in a company name the list will update to show people from that company only, even though you're not showing company name.

You can set this in preferences. IIRC the default is Last Name.

  • Tungsten T5 iSync, HotSync, Missing Sync for iCal, Mail and Address Book

    I have just been given an old Palm Tungsten T5 and have been looking at the various options available to make it do what I need with regard to syncing it with my G5 PPC iMac with 10.4.11.
    I use the T5 only when I am away (from the iMac) and travelling and would like a set- up that allows me to sync, in this order of priority:
    iCal, including annual events such as birthdays, and differently colour-coded calendars and, if possible, to dos although these are less important
    Mail
    Address Book, in which I really only have e-mail addresses
    According to some old threads on the subject, Missing Sync appears to be the program of choice for syncing iCal and Address Book, but not Mail. Instead there appears to be something called Mail.App Conduit 2.0.1 requiring at least Palm Desktop 4, and presumably HotSync.
    Is there a single program that will sync all three of these Mac applications effectively? If not, am I going to have to (buy and install and then) uninstall Missing Sync and Palm Desktop (or HotsSync) alternately?
    Is iSync a real option?
    Or is there some clever way of using one or more programs to start with and then switch over to just one?
    I would be grateful for any advice as to how to deal with this. Thank you.
    Nick

    I don't know if you can do this with the Centro. I should have mention that I was talking about webOS (Pre and Pixi). To sync with webOS you need Mac OS 10.5 or later for iCal, and 10.6 for Address Book.

  • Can i have more than one address book

    Is it possible to have more than one address book on my computer.  I would like to have 2 so I can use one for personal and use one for special projects

    Until I tunes match comes out it does not matter.  I cloud is for e mail, contacts, and calendars.  Your I cloud ID MUST be an @me.com ID.

  • I have business and personal e-mail accounts with different contacts. Can I have more than one address book on my iPhone?

    I have business and personal e-mail accounts with different contacts. Can I have more than one address book on my iPhone?

    Set up an additional user account and use one for work and one for personal stuff - each will have a separate address book. Turn on fast user switching for easy switching between the two.

  • More than one address book

    I know there are groups in the address book, but I have a reason to want to not include all the addresses in one address book. Is it possible to have more than one address book on my IMac G5 running Tiger? If so, how would I do it?
    Also, I am having a problem sending to a large group of 155. The message comes back that it cannot send because of a syntax error. Could that be caused by importing my addresses from an older system? Does anyone have a quick method for testing to see which is the bad email address that is causing the problem? I know the problem is not with the server because I can still send to this group on my older Mac running 9.2 system.

    I see two possibilities, neither of them very convenient. One is two set up a separate user account. Each account will have its own address book, and you will need to switch between accounts to switch books. The other is to have a second address book stored somewhere away from ~/Library/Application Support/AddessBook/AddressBook.data. You would move the current book to the desktop and drag in the alternate to use it. You could set up a script to move them around. I see great opportunities for getting them confused! A variant on this, perhaps simpler and more reliable, would be to use the AB backup facility to keep two separate backups - restore whichever you currently need.
    Can you give more details of the syntax error? Where is it coming from?

  • More than one address book account

    Does anyone know if its possible to have more than one address book account.
    I have two e-mail addresses, one work and one personal and I want to use address book for my contacts. Is it possible to keep these two lists of contacts separate in Address Book on a mac and if so how.
    The problem is I sometimes have to export my business address book and don't want to send personal contacts.
    Does anyone have a solution??

    You could always create 2 groups in address book, one for business and one for personal. You will then have an "all contacts" list which will have them mixed, but you can also view by group, which will show just business or just personal. When you need to export, just export the business group.

  • How do I print envelopes for everyone in my address book?

    How do I print envelopes for everyone in my address book?  It seems so simple but after half an hour... no joy!!

    I have spent most of the morning in a frustrating search of a way to print labels for my contacts. I have a couple of problems. I want to send every label to a different person at the same address. I have hundreds to do and most of them do not have a mailing address so I tried to do a bulk change of the address ... without  manually changing every contact there is no way to do this. I've tried to create a template with a table (10x2) and added merge fields to each of the cells but when I do a mail merge all I get are hundreds of pages with a page dedicated to each contact whereas I want to merge on a cell by cell level, i.e. 20 different contacts on the same page.
    How do I do this? I can't find label style that is appropriate and I'm not sure how to create one with 10 by 2 labels per page.
    Help!

  • I am using garageband.  May upgrade.I am looking for more sounds....

    Hi,
    I am looking for more guitar sounds and software sounds (violin). Does Logic Express provide this? Is there a list of what it provides (I mean different guitar sounds and software sounds for a MIDI keyboard)
    Thanks!

    Just add more sounds to GB.
    "Upgrade" to Logic if you want more knobs to twist, not because you'd like a few more samples.

  • Duplicates and more in my address book

    hi,
    my address book is creating duplicates and triplicates etc. of each entry on it's own... everyday i "look for duplicates" and merge all the records, then the next day have duplicates and triplicates again.
    how do i stop this? at one point i was attempting to use .mac to sync my address book, so i could maintain it on two computers. but i stopped since i was not able to get it working properly and the wrong records were getting over written and disappearing. I suspect my problem is related, since it started around the same time.
    any help is appreciated.
    thanks.

    Do I turn off the local accounts in the iCal and Address Book applications? I understand what you're suggesting, but I don't know where to do it. Can you explain in more detail?

  • Looking for a good tutorial or book for 3D composite

    Hi, I do editing for 3D animation at work (simple kind) and working along with 2 other 3D modelers.
    We recently came down to the conclusion that we need to composite to be able to render our animation.
    However, none of us really know how to do 3D composite, including myself.
    (I mean we know the simple composite using alpha channels and such... but not to the point to using z-depth or shadow maps... etc..).
    I was looking around online and book store to find out if there is any good resources for us to learn. I do not have much luck of it, unfortunately.
    I'd like to have our 3D modlers to know how to split to all different layers for a clean composite purpose.... (like for me to use in Shake ). From what I found out, higher end composite, you can split most of the gemoetries its own object IDs, and shadow map/layers, lighting layers... (even they render separetely, it do cast shadow as other objects surrounds it, or refection..) and then composite in one scene.
    I believe we create pretty good animation when we rendered them all together in one scene, and now we are up to the point that there are too many geometeries and render farm computers can't handle to render (and they are not lower end compters but they crash when we try to render with not enough memories).
    I'm not really looking for having real footage as background and 3D infront .. that kind of composite...
    If there is anyone can direct me to a right book? or online website to learn more of this stuff for all of us, I'll be really appriciate it.
    Thank you for your time...

  • Looking for app to design a book

    Hello
    I will try to design a book on arch, and I'm looking for the right software.
    I've tried Libreoffice (a bit messy for the task) and Scribus (master page handling lacks some flexibility) for the moment.
    I know this is a bit off-topic, but I would be very interested by your feedback.

    LaTeX can't be beat when it comes to layout/typesetting. However, I do all my actual writing using Pandoc's extended Markdown syntax. I can think of three reasons to prefer Pandoc, at least for the writing process:
    - LaTeX makes gorgeous final products but it's syntax is tedious to work with compared to Markdown, even the more complex Markdown used by Pandoc. Block quotes, lists, citations, headings, footnotes and bibliographies are all much easier to work with in Pandoc since you don't have to switch between writing prose and writing code---you just place simple punctuation marks in the appropriate place to get the desired effect.
    - Pandoc can output to damn near every format imaginable (including different TeX derivatives), so you can use LaTeX just for formatting the final product rather than writing the whole document.
    - In contrast, LaTeX can only output three formats on its own: PDF, Docbook and (unless I'm mistaken) ODF. You'd need an extra tool---like, say, Pandoc----to convert your LaTeX document to HTML or EPUB or MediaWiki or something if you wanted to publish in a medium other than print (or one that mimics print as PDF does).
    - Another possibly less-compelling reason would be that Markdown is deliberately designed with the intent of making an unprocessed document human-readable. Most people should be able to open or print out a plain text document marked up with Markdown and generally understand what the markup signifies. This makes collaborative editing with people unfamiliar with Markdown possible.

  • Can not add more contacts on address book

    Hello
    i have a blackberry curve 8520.
    at the momment i have 288 contacts but i can not add more. I go to menu, address book, new contact, the window give me the options, i add the information (name, phone, email, etc) and when i want to save the contact it do not save
    i tried to reboot removing the battery for a minute and restart but still with the same problem.
    Also i figured out that when y sync my bb with the desktop manager, the address book is not sync it says (Adress book not installed) that is why i can not swipe the contacts to reinstall the info because i have no back up of the address book
    Please i need some help with this issues
    thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    While there is no hard limit on how many contacts you can have in your device, there is a soft limit in that you can only have as many as your device memory can handle. Check your available memory to see if you have any remaining space. If not, then consider cleaning out/uninstalling some things you do not need in order to increase available memory for more contacts.
    Disclaimer: I'm just a regular user like the rest of you. I have spent a lot of time learning the limitations of the Blackberries to know how to fix most problems. If I have suggested a fix, please give a kudo and mark as a solution!

  • Unable to load Facebook on MBP in any browser - looking for more information

    I have searched the Internet far and wide trying to figure out what is wrong, but every suggestion I have tried has failed.  So here is my question:
    Last night, I turned on my MBP and tried to log onto Facebook.  I use Google Chrome as my default browser.  Chrome was unable to connect to www.facebook.com.  I tried in Safari also with no luck.  Facebook seems to be the only web site I cannot connect to.  Over the same wifi connection, I was able to connect to Facebook from my home PC, my iPad, and my iPhone (the actual web site and thru the app).
    This morning, I brought my MBP to work to try again.  Same problem.  I cannot access Facebook from my MBP, but I can from my work PC and my other iOS devices.  I even tried turning Personal Hotspot on my iPad and connected my MBP to that.  Still no luck.
    Based on everything I've read online, I've done many things to try to resolve this.  I've cleared my cache and cookies, I've rebooted my MBP several times, I've flushed my DNS.  I've even tried using Open DNS.  I even tried some of the more ridiculous sounding ideas, like changing the date on my MBP.  I am currently running Sophos in hopes that maybe the reason this is happening is because of some malware or trojan or something.  The only thing I HAVEN'T done yet is completely reinstalled Mountain Lion.  Honestly, I would rather avoid having to try this approach, as it seems that is a slightly extreme approach to fixing what should be a relatively straightforward problem to diagnose.
    I've been racking my brain, trying to think of any updates I could have done in the last day or two that might have caused this very specific problem.  According to System Information, the last set of updates I probably made right before this problem manifested were for Microsoft Office.  I'm showing "Office 2011 14.2.5 Update", "Microsoft Error Reporting for Mac", and the very cryptic sounding "Plugin" as all having been installed yesterday.  Based on the times each was installed, "Plugin" was not installed with the Office updates, so I'm wondering if maybe that is the culprit.  Unfortunately, I have no more information than that.
    I guess what I'm looking for are ideas on how I can better diagnose what is going on.  I've tried the solutions people have posted online to no avail. If I knew what was happening behind the scenes, that might help me figure out what I really need to do to get this working again, before I'm forced to resort to a reinstall of Mountain Lion that may or may not even resolve this issue.  If anyone has better ideas on what could be wrong or ways in which I can get more information to better diagnose this problem, please post them here.  Thank you!

    I didn't think reinstalling was gonna do me any good except for getting rid of every single thing I have ever installed since getting this MBP.  I'm thinking it has to be something that is on my computer causing this, especially since it only affects my ability to get to this one site and I only started seeing this problem yesterday.
    So, I went ahead and disabled all my Chrome extensions and I don't have any Safari extensions at all.  That didn't fix my issue.
    I've been trying to run Sophos on here, thinking that maybe I've got a Trojan or some kind of malware, but it never seems to finish a full scan of my hard drive.  That "Plugin" that I mentioned above has me very suspicious, except that whatever that is, it's been on my computer since basically when I first got it.  Maybe it's malicious, or maybe it's just a poorly named piece of software.  In any case, it got updated last night around 11pm, about the same time I noticed my problem.  After trying everything I have, it's hard for me to overlook that as coincidence.
    But, where do I go to gain more information about what that could be?  I should mention that this MBP is basically my first Apple computer.  I've been a PC guy (still am mostly) forever, but I finally dove in and got a Mac to start iOS development.  So I'm sure there are ways to get more information than I am currently aware of.
    Also, apologies if I posted this in the wrong forum.

  • How to copy the same address for multiple contacts in Address Book?

    Hi! I got a question, I didn't find an answer for yet.
    How to copy the post address from one contact to another, without manual entering. I mean if I have one contact with already entered post address, can I just copy it someway at once to another contact?
    I don't want cards to merge, I need separate contacts, that may have different phones, e-mails, but the same post address. Please, advise.

    Thanks! yes, this is a solution I'm following now. But I was wondering about the similar way as it is made in Daylite or Contactizer - you create company with name and post address first, and then can create a contact for that company. And company name and post address will appear in contact name.
    I just wonder why such a simple and useful solution isn't available in Address Book as default.
    I know there are many scripts written for Address Book. Maybe there is something for this purpose?
