'Notes' field within the Address Book is greyed out

The 'Notes' field within the Address Book is greyed out. The resolution seems simple enough yet this does not work: "Select the person in the Name column in Address Book, then click the Note field in the card."
It's still grey after doing so and data cannot be entered into the 'Notes' field.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks!

Merge Address Book Cards Greyed out

Hi all,
I've got an envelope that I use every once in a while. It has a logo and return address. For the recipient address, I just go to address book, change the information in the group that I call "current envelope" then I go to pages, merge and print.
However, last time I went to do this, it added the address that I wanted from the group, plus 3 other addresses (i don't know where they came from.) When I try to merge again with the address book to refresh the data, the Merge Address Book Cards option is grey. What is going on?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Osvaldo
I can just confirm I had it once too. I just restarted. That solved it. But I always tought that is a Win solution If I can reproduce it I try to search why it happened.
But I have an other problem with mail merge:
If I merge more then 1 address it asks me if it shall put it in a new document. If it does so it removes all the empty fields. If you merge only 1 address it merges it always in the curent document and the empty fields stay. That still would be ok but they also print with the field name on the letters. Looks like a bug to me.
Sure I could remove the fields manually... but hey? Either it should give the possibility to merge it into a new document even with 1 address and remove the empty fields or keep it in the same document with the empty fields but shouldn't print them.
I think this are the small thing they will need to sort out over time (like that there is no possiblity to choose from "recent documents" in the open/create file wizard - if you close the wizard it closes Pages too. Or that after opening Pages without the wizard and choosin from the recent documents the blank document created automatically with the start up is not closed automatically if it wasn't edit before an other file was opened (yes , even MS has some smart tricks)).

Changes I make to contacts on my touch will not sync with the address Book on my mac.

I have made changes to my contacts on my touch , but since I have gone to ios5 and icloud, the changes show up on my ipad, but wont sync with my mac.
Don't know what I am doing wrong, any suggestions?

Check in Settings > iCloud that Contacts is on (green) in both devices. If that isn't it, the following may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998

Need to uninstall plugin from FF, but not IE - however, the uninstall button is greyed out?

So I use a shared PC and we have all 3 browsers on it, IE,FF,GC. Now, my mom installed the mywebsearch plugin - which is fine. However, she also made it so that it installed it into FF. I have disabled it, but I want to remove it completely.
How would I do this? I have had a look where you rename the file, however I fear this will disable it in IE. Many thanks.

The following is only specific to Firefox, it will not change Mywebsearch in IE.
Mywebsearch may add the following files to the Firefox installation folder:
* C:\Program Files\mozilla firefox\chrome\m3ffxtbr.jar
* C:\Program Files\mozilla firefox\plugins\NPMyWebS.dll
* C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\chrome\m3ffxtbr.manifest
If you find those files you can delete them. The above folder locations are based on a default installation on a 32 bit version of Windows.
It may also add a Mywebsearch search engine to the search bar, for details of how to remove a search engine see the [[search bar]] article.
Finally it may change the location bar search option. To reset that do this:
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# In the filter box type keyword
# Right-click on keyword.URL and choose Reset (if it is already using the default Google search you will not be able to reset it)

What is the deal with the new Mavericks version of the Mail program..? I cannot simply double click in the address book to place names in the address line?

I can no longer simply double click on a name in the contacts list to place that name into an an email??
You now have to select a single name(or a group), and hit the "TO" button.
Have the engineers at Apple gone nuts?? They just made it more difficult to add names?? Are they going for a windows workability??
If anyone out there can tell me how to go back to this feature, please, please let me know..
Adding addresses is now not working very well....?? Please help!
Randy

OK, JUST TO CLARIFY: I OPEN MY MAIL PROGRAM. I then start a new letter. I then click on the little person icon button which opens up the address/contacts list. This action does not open up the address book as such.
I simply want to select various contacts from the list. But now I can no longer simply go down the list to double click on those contacts that I want to automatically drop into the TO field of my new message. It does not work any longer in Mavericks??
Now I have to click on each contact, and then go up, and click again on the TO button ....
Can Apple please stop making tasks more difficult?? The previous version worked great, and now it has been upgraded so that it doesn't work as simply as it did??
Frustrated.!!!

Why is the Address Book app slow to update my contacts?

When I try to import my Google contacts into my Mac Address Book via vCard (.vcf) format, Address Book app takes an eternity to finish updating (like a half hour or more), during which I cannot do anything else in the Address Book.
The last time I tried to do so, yesterday, my entire system became extremely slow and I had to restart the computer. BTW, I use Mac OS X v. 10.7.5 (Lion).
I also notice that searching for contacts within the Address Book is an extremely slow process. I begin to type a name and the program is very sluggish to respond or display anything, forcing me to type very slowly.
What can I do to resolve these issues so I can update and search for my contacts in the Address Book within reasonable amounts of time?

you have a 4G iPod. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

How to delete a custom field created in Address Book template?

It is possible to create a new custom field name in any of the pop-up field categories in the preferences template for Address Book.
But, once created, there does not seem to be a way to delete or edit the newly created custom field name. That doesn't make sense.
Tell me that I am wrong, and then tell me how to delete or edit a custom field name. Thanks!!

Thanks Pascal, I can change the viewed template field areas as you have described. My problem was with modification of the pop-up list entries: adding, deleting, and renaming user created custom field entries. I have since figured out how Address Book allows these functions; unfortunately, that specific information is not present in the Address Book help file.

The Address Book Contacts doesn't always show the Titles.

Among the contacts I have, some entries do not show the title in the name field of the address book. I tested on one of them that used to show the title by removing the tiltle and saved it and then putting it back in again and saved it. From
then onwards the title no longer shows up.

Groupwise Field Definitions for Address Book entry

Hi,
I am looking for Groupwise Field definitions i.e. Field Names associated with Address Book entry (Contact and Organization). I am using OAPI to access the Contact's field values and set the Contact's field values by Field Name. Is there any place which has the list of all the field Names associated with Contact and Organization Address Book entry.
Note: Field Definitions for Address Book entries that are in PAB.
I also look for the comparision of Field Names in Groupwise 7.0 and Groupwise 8.0.
Thanks,
Pranav

Why don't you iterate through all the field definitions of a given abook?
This will give you the list of all possible fields for an entry.

How do I import the address book from my E72

I just got a iPhone 4 and have over 300 contacts from the phonebook to import from an E72. Can someone advise.
Thx

The iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
You need get the contacts available in either Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 or in Windows Contacts by whichever method is supported for this with the E72 and Windows - software available for the device that can get the contacts in a supported address book app on your computer or by transferring the contacts from the device to supported address book application on your computer via Bluetooth.

HOW TO SEND PERSONALIZED EMAILS (WITH SAME MESSAGE) TO ALL ADDRESSES IN THE ADDRESS BOOK - WITH RECIPIENTS SEEING ONLY THEIR NAME BUT NOT WHO ELSE IS GETTING IT

HOW TO SEND PERSONALIZED EMAILS WITH THE SAME MESSAGE, BUT WITH THE INDIVIDUAL RECIPIENT'S NAME... (OR NAME AND THE EMAIL ADDRESS) TO ALL ADDRESSES IN THE ADDRESS BOOK - WITH RECIPIENTS SEEING ONLY THEIR OWN NAME WITHIN THE BODY OF THE MESSAGE TO THEM ?
ALSO, HOW TO ELIMINATE ALL THE OTHER NAMES FROM THE LIST - SO THEY CAN NOT SEE WHO ELSE IS ON THE MAILING LIST, AND WHO ELSE IS GETTING THE SAME MESSAGE?

In the csv file, the column headers must match the the special references in curly brackets.
So you either change the column header in .csv file or the bit in the curly brackets in the Template email.
To change the column header:
In the example shown below, I wanted to use the first two columns
'First Name', 'Last Name' note the exact spelling.
I also wanted the email address which was in a column called 'Primary Email'.
To make it easier for me, I copied the Primary Email column and inserted it into the third column position and then changed the column header name from 'Primary Email' to 'Email'. (This meant I still had the original column header just in case). see image below.
But you could just change the column header name from 'Primary Email' to 'Email' without moving column about - up to you.
At this point check that all the contacts do have a valid email address.
then save the file.
If you do not want to edit the .csv file, then you need to edit the template email.
eg: {{First Name}} {{Last Name}} <{{Email}}>
change to : {{First Name}} {{Last Name}} <{{Primary Email}}>
If still having an issue, please post two images.
One image needs to show the row of column headers used in .csv file.
The other image needs to show the Template email, so I can see how you have used the curly brackets.

Mac OS 10.6.8. In address book I have tried to delete some groups (created when I created an account in mail which I then subsequently deleted). However in address book edit the delete button is greyed out.

I cannot delete groups in address book because the delete button is greyed out. I have deleted the original mail accounts which created the address book. I could just leave the groups there but the problem it creates is that address book tries to connect to the relevant server every time I open mail, then I get various error messages because it cannot connect. Thanks for any assistance.

I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

Using the Photo/send a link/ function does not link to my address book

Having upgraded to FF4 using the Photo/your albums/send a link/ the 'To' data input line does not interact with my Hotmail Address Book.

This usually means that the address book data file is corrupt.
I'd suggest you export your misbehaving address book to an LDIF file, delete the original address book then re-import its data from the LDIF file.
Note that you won't be allowed to delete either ''Personal Address Book'' (PAB) nor ''Collected Addresses'' (CA) within Thunderbird. You'll have to close Thunderbird, open its profile and delete:
''abook.mab'' for PAB, or
''history.mab'' for CA.
When you next run Thunderbird, it'll create a new empty address book to replace the one you deleted. Import your address to a new temporary address book, then move the Contacts (drag-and-drop) into the preferred address book.

Field links in Address Book do not work

"A left click in the field of Address Book opens a contextual menu" does not work. All the fields in my Address Book are light gray, and however I click do, not yield any menu. I know they did a while ago, but did not record with what update this feature became disabled. Any explanation and solution? Thank you!

Hi Ludwig,
Thank you for letting us know about the issue with the links in the document. We will work to fix it.
I believe the document you are referring to is called "SAP Discovery Demonstration Access" which can be found at the bottom of the How To Set Up your Discovery System page and not the "Quick Guide", as the "Quick Guide" doesn't contain any links to demos/scenarios.
In the mean time please go to the Out Of The Box Demonstrations section on the website, you will see there the links to all the demos:

TS1702 I LOST CONTENT WITHIN AN ADDRESS BOOK APP, THE APP WAS REGULARLY BACKED UP, I REMOVED THE APP FRONM MY IPHONE AND SYNCED IT BACK IN .THE APP SYNCED OK BUT THE CONTENT IS STILL MISSING

I LOST CONTENT WITHIN AN ADDRESS BOOK APP, THE APP WAS REGULARLY BACKED UP, I REMOVED THE APP FROM MY IPHONE AND SYNCED IT BACK IN .THE APP SYNCED OK BUT THE CONTENT IS STILL MISSING

That's because app content is stored in the iPhone backup, not the app. What you should have done, is first restore from backup, then sync your iTunes content...the app in question...back to your phone. That would have restored the app data. However, if you've synced, since restoring the app to your phone, the app data is gone.
