Only a fraction of the email addresses I have received mail and sent mail to show up i my collected addresses list.

I have thousands of email addresses I have sent to and received from but maybe 50 show up in my collected address list. I want to export my emails contacts but I can't find the majority of those names and addresses.
Thanks

read section 'Share the OSX System's Address Book'
Do you have 'File' > 'Use Mac OS X Address Book' selected?
This might explain where the other email addresses/contacts are available.

Did you see my answer posted earlier in this string? "Apparently at the latest Thunderbird upgrade, the Mac OS reset a security preference. Found under System Preferences/Security & Privacy is a check box to Allow Thunderbird to access CONTACTS. Now all my Mac Address Book contacts are visible." This worked for me, and I am able to update CONTACTS, and see them in Thunderbird. I think I had to restart for this to take effect.

  • How can I reset my security questions?  The email address listed to send the reset information to is no longer active.

    My security questions need to be reset.  The email address used to set up the account is no longer active so I cannot get access to the security question reset information.

    You will need to call Apple at 800-275-2273 and ask for the Account security department.  They will have you sign into the My Apple ID site at id.apple.com using the Manage Apple ID button and generate a temporary support pin.  It can be found in the lower left corner of the Password and Security section once you log in.
    Once you give them the support pin, they will ask for one other piece of information from the account in order to verify that you own it.  This can either be one of the current security questions, the credit card linked to the account, a device serial number, or a device verification code that they can send you.
    Good luck!

    How did you contact iTunes support, and you've checked your spam as well as your Inbox ?
    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • On my Mac, when selecting an email and entering it won't open the email. I have rebooted twice and no change.

    If I get an email reply, I won't be able to open it to get the answer. This just happened out of the blue. I can check the box to the left of the email, but when I try to open, delete, or put in stored mail, nothing happens.

    Have you tried closing the app completely and seeing whether it works properly when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the scrabble apps 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My iphone 3gs cannot connect to the server.  i have full wifi and att full bars showing up.  any ideas of how to fix this?

    my phone has full wifi and full at&t bars.  it will not connect to server/network.  i just updated it to the new ios6 software and it still cannot connect.  any thoughts on how to fix?

    The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.

  • How do I change the email address linked to iCloud

    When I open icloud on my devices using my apple ID, my ID/ email address shows as the user but the email address listed in the advanced tab is a me.com address. This would be fine but it is a mid-spelt version of my name at me.com. I can log in to the correctly spelt version of my name at me.com via apple ID but cannot use this. It seems that in the move from me.com to iCloud I have ended up with an association to mis-spelt me.com. Can I change this? If not, I am happy to set up a fresh iCloud account but I still have the issue of disassociating the mis-spelt address which seems to be something Apple do not allow. apple have told me to start from scratch - new ID, new iCloud and all linked to a new email address that I would need to set up. This seems tediculous!
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    You can do it directly on your iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and logging into it. Or you can do it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or via http://appleid.apple.com

  • Hi, can you help?  My emails that I have received show the date received as either today, yesterday or July 28.  How can I get the correct date received?

    Hi, The emails that I have received show the date received as either today, yesterday or July 28.  How can I get the correct date received?

    That's very scary. They might do it, but I personally have never had Apple contact me re id's except on their site when signing in. I suggest you DO NOT respond until you have a phone conversation with Apple security. They can verify if they sent you the e-mail and why.
    While it's very possible it's true,again, I suggest you not respond until you speak to someone at Apple. I've often read here that when people sign in they are not allowed to because "someone else has used the id" type of statement.
    Also, you should be able to go to the app store and see what apps you have downloaded.
    Though it could have been a free app, have you checked to see if any were bought with your id account?
    I've gotten these types of e-mails from places like USPS and FedEx which look amazingly authentic and were from their website. I also received an odd e-mail from my cousin in Ireland last year that clearly was not from him. It was also sent to others in his family in Ireland. I e-mailed him that I only opened it because it had a .ie, but suggested he change... Days later I received mail from 'him' - same name, but at yahoo.com. 
    Again, I would call Apple. You can also report it at [email protected], but I would not settle for that given your situation. If nothing else, call Apple sales (sales depts. anywhere answer fast) and ask them to transfer you to security. Apple will not want anybody accessing their name, and while it's unlikely, it's not impossible that it is someone phishing.
    Hope this helps and can you let the support community know your results by posting on this thread when you're done? Thank you.
    Hope this helps.

    If the seller will not respond, contact Ebay and report the fraud.  The device is most likely stolen.

  • Capture only the email address in a muse form

    How do you create a form in Muse where you capture only the email address?

    If it is actually an Acroform as you imply, then open the form tools, double click the submit button (or right click and select properties), go to the last tab, highlight the submit, and edit it. You can change the submit properites there. If you used Designer for the form, then ask in the LiveCycle forum. The process for Designer is quite a bit different.

    Hi Aurion23,
    If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

    hi Guys, i mistakenly synced my iphone and all my email contacts appears in my contacts list. its mixed up. can someone please assist me on how to delete the email address ONLY?

    Don't understand your problem... Contacts sync with a compatible address book or cloud service. Contact records can contain names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, notes, or any combination of these. If you have records you don't want in your address book that you don't want in your contacts, then segregate them into groups in your address book and only sync the group(s) you want. If you don't want them there at all, then delete them.

  • I want to copy only the email address from Mail, not the name and email

    When I get an email I want to be able to copy ONLY the email address and NOT the name.
    Before I would click on an email, click on the email address and paste the email address to a list.
    Now I do that and I get the name AND the email address, which makes me edit out the name every time. UGH.
    Mavericks 10.9.5

    did not make a difference. If I copy from the email (that has a name & email) and paste to text file (Bbedit) the name and email still show. I do not want the name, just the email.

  • How do u delete iCloud account or CHANGE the email address?

    Long story short, I ended up having to restore to factory settings my iphone.  I had planned on restoring one of the backups that I had done through iTunes.  (Yes, I now know to backup through iCloud so please do NOT suggest that -.-) but it kept telling me that there was a threat detected in the backup file??? So skipped it. And tried again. Didn't work. Got same msg about the threat. So I ended up healing the threat and then it told me that it couldn't restor the backup because a file was either missing or corrupted. I'm like..***!!! Ughness.
    So now I'm trying to set it up so that I can back it up via iCloud so that this stupid issue doens't occur again, but my old @rogers.com email address is the iCloud email addres and I'm trying to change it in the iPhone to my @bell.net email address.  I have changed it in itunes.  It's working there...but my stupid iPhone keeps asking me for the password on the Apple ID that has the @rogers.com email address. THAT IS NOT THE EMAIL ADDRESS THAT IS SET UP IN MY APPLE ID! I have already set up the new one....which is the @bell.net one but for some stupid reason, iCloud keeps wanting the @rogers.com one...and whenever I enter it, it's not correct because that email address has been removed.
    Can someone PLEASE help me.
    Thanks
    Rose

    You can't actually terminate an iCloud account, though obviously you can simply log out of it on all your devices and then ignore it in future.
    I gather that the @icloud.com address is also the actual ID? You can't change that. However if your Apple ID that you use to log into iCloud is a non-Apple email address you can change that - please follow carefully the instructions here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudfaq2.html#6
    If it's this non-Apple address which is compromised then changing the ID will solve that. If it's the @icloud.com address which is compromised then you cannot change that though you can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    However if you add an alias the original address will still function, so if you are getting a lot of spam it will still arrive.
    You can get a completely new iCloud account simply by creating a new Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com , for which you will need a new non-Apple address which has never been associated with an Apple ID.
    You will need to sign out of the old account on all your devices and sign in with the new ID.
    If none of this solves the problem and it is a security issue, go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Apple ID account Security'.

    Email addresses can only ever be used once in an Apple ID. They cannot be deleted from one Apple ID and moved to another.
