Opt in Page using Address Book

Does anyone know if I could create an opt In page using Address book for my blog? Thanks. I'm new to MacBook Pro.

You'll probably need to write an AppleScript or Automator workflow to process the information from your source to Address Book. How easy this will be will depend on how the information is processed from your blog and stored (i.e. in a database of some sort, just emailed to you, etc.) Unless someone else knows of prepackaged software I don't, this probably isn't going to be simple to accomplish.
Since this isn't related to your Mac hardware, you might get more suggestions if you ask in the AppleScript forum.
Regards.

Mail merge in Pages using Address Book - problem with fields

I am a fan of using the many of the Mac OS, iLife and other Apple applications together and just purchased iWork '09. I'd never done mail merges in previous versions of Pages, but I decided to try today with my Address Book data. I stumbled across some problems related to Address Book that have bothered me for some time and wonder if there is a simple go-around. Many of the cards in my Address Book have more than one line in the street address field. For example, they have street and street number in one line and the apartment number in the second. When Pages encounters such vCards in my Address Book, it doesn't know what to do and skips the next line of the address, which includes city, state and zipcode. I have also altered my Address Book template to include such things as the person's college (as I work with lots of college students), but this field is not recognized in Pages' mail merge feature. So, if I put the college name at the beginning of the street field in Address Book (which is what I have done until today), I can get excellent mail labels to print from Address Book, but I now I realize that this causes the mail merge problems in Pages described above. If I list the college elsewhere in the vCard, such as under the guise of "department" (an accepted field for mail merge in Pages), I lose the ability to get accurate mail labels in Address Book. Any ideas?

Page's Mail Merge doesn't show up any "Custom" fields in its list?

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade.
It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
After printing, trash the added versions.

Using Address Book with Word

Does anyone know of a way to use Address Book with Word? I've looked here and other places and can't seem to find an answer. My guess is know, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks!

Forget Word - I've moved on to Pages.

How do I see a list of all my Apple Mail contacts. I do not use address book. I just want to see all the email addresses stored on my Mac

Hi All,
I have been using Mail for the past three years without need to send a regular mailing list mailout.
I now need to send group emails and all I want to do is browse my contacts aquired over the last three years to create a list. I have not used Address Book for anything other than phone contacts so please do not point me in that dirrection.
There must be a list of all email contacts stored somewhere on the Mac that I can look through. It is an almost impossible task to do this by browsing my inbox/sent folders.
Hope you can help and thanks in advance!
Best
Adam

Using address book to share mobile me gallery

Have new ilife and do not know if i can use address book to share my mobileme gallery! Help

Hi aksmitty99,
Welcome to AppleWorks Discussions.
Peggy is correct saying "...click on Style drop-down menu & choose Mailing Labels...". Yes, that is exactly where it is.
Perhaps you see the small print dialog window. If so, look to the right of the printer name, there you will see a single twisty (upside down triangle) pointing down. Click it, you'll now have more print options available for you. There in you will see the Style drop down list; choose Mailing Labels.
Hope this helps.
Cordially,
RicD

Using Address Book Exporter to move Address Book Contacts to Palm Desktop

I have had strangely mixed results using "Address Book Exporter" to create files that can be imported into Palm Desktop.
I really want to export all 1200 of my Address book cards to my new Treo 700P. Too complex?
I set up a new group in my Address Book and placed about 400 cards in it. I then used Address Book Exporter to export all of these records using template "Palm Desktop" onto a .txt file on my hard drive.
When I opened my Palm Desktop application and clicked on import, I first had to cause the dialogue box to show all files rather than just "readable files" in order for the exported files to be available. When I clicked on the file of 400 Address book cards that I had exported, I got the dialogue box similar to FileMaker where you have to line up the receiving fields in the Palm Desktop application with the fields in the file that Address Book Exporter created.
When I set the "fields" drop-down menu to "addresses" and set the "Delimiters" drop-down menu to "Palm Desktop", everything just lined up automatically. No futher adjustments were needed. I just clicked OK and the 400 records were transferred to my Palm Desktop Address list - ready to further transfer to my new Treo 700P - successfully.
But when I went through this exact same routine, instead exporting all of the cards in my Address book, when I got to the last step and set the two drop down menus - the "fields" drop-down menu to "addresses" and set the "Delimiters" drop-down menu to "Palm Desktop" - nothing happened. The fields in the exported file did not line up at all. The created export file I opened showed only one "superfield' with all the data in it (just as the earlier example had, at first) which would not change to all of the fields needed to line up with the Palm Desktop importing fields as had happened in the first example.
Why the two different reactions to what seems to be the same routines? Does Address Book Exporter have a cap on the size of the export it can handle?
I just don't understand it.

Using Address Book to send SMS via Bluetooth

Hi all,
I recently upgraded to 10.4.6 (from 10.4.5) to take advantage of the new iSync support for the Nokia N70.
(I had previously been using a modified Metaclasses.plist hack for this and prior to the upgrade to .6, restored the original .plist)
I also followed the advice in Apple article 303419 about removing the phone from iSync.
So, upgrade fine and re paired phone with iSync but now find that I can no longer use Address Book to send SMS message or dial a call to current contact.
This worked fine with the hack!
Any ideas?

I am using OS X10.4.6 via Bluetooth connecting to Nokia N70 also. I have no problem with iSync and file transfer. But I can NOT send and receive SMS from Address book.

Using Address Book with 2 mobile phones

Since a few weeks I have a second mobile phone that I also use with iSync for contact and calendar synchronisation. The problem was that Address Book could only pair with / connect to the newly added phone, not the 'old phone' anymore.
I found some old threads with the same problem stated, but no answers were given. I did find a fix for it though. I used the application Pref Setter to clear the preferences of Address Book (you can also delete the file located at: /library/preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist). Restart Address Book and the bleutooth mobile phone entry is now empty again. You will be able to choose a phone to pair with.
However, if anyone knows how to use 2 phones simultaniously, please tell me!
Powerbook 12" Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You can't use Address Book with more than one phone at the same time unfortunately, it simply does not have this functionality.
I developed a little application called "Reset Address Book Pairing" which does exactly that without deleting (and therefore losing) your Address Book preferences. Just one setting in the prefs actually needs changing.
It's included with the Sony Ericsson Address Book Enabler, which adds Call & SMS support for over 40 new Sony Ericsson phones to the Mac Address Book.

Using Address Book as a Rock-solid business database?

My address book loses entire GROUPS.
MY wife and I sync Address Book of our business and personal contacts via MobilMe across our two Mac Desktops, our 2 Macbook pros, our iphones and an ipad. Somehow the Address Book data gets corrupted enough so that groups disappear every few months. It's very frustrating. We'll fix it and a few months later it happens again.
Address Book is the preferred database for our business contacts because of how easy syncing is and how it's so easily built within OSX. But the corruption drives us crazy. If you use Address Book for business are you NOT having this problem? Please only answer if you've been using it for a while. If I just started with address book I wouldn't have seen the problem.
We often fix it, then upload the fixed Address Book data to Mobil Me and then make sure it replaces all our data on the computers, iphones and iPad.
Is Bento an answer? Bento syncs with Address Book which is GOOD because I want access to the database everywhere. And it's BAD because this will probably happen again as Address Book syncs across the various devices.
For business contacts, what do you use so that it's more rock solid with your data? Thanks in advance.

Using address book to print mailing labels

Hi all
I am trying to print mailing labels using the addresses in my address book. In the past, I had a PC and was able to put in a title such as "The Smith Family" and it would be simply applied to all labels by exporting only the last name and of course the address. How do I do this using address book?
Thanks so much for your tips.

Here's a way to get somewhat similar behavior. Hopefully you can adjust it to get the best result.
1 - Select a card that you want to print
2 - Choose the Card > Add Field > Related Names menu item. If that menu item is grayed out, you can just press the Edit button
3 - Find the related names fields in the card. They have default labels of "friend" and "assistant". Click on one of the labels and change it to "spouse"
4 - In the field for the spouse label, type "Family" for example
5 - Press Edit to close the editor and save the card, then print
Now the envelope or label will be addressed "Bill Gates and Family".

Automating Envelopes using Address Book

I have created a template in Pages 09 for an envelope. When I want to create an envelope I have to open Pages, open Address Book, drag an address book label over to the envelope and then print. Seems like I should be able to script Address Book so that I can just select one or more addresses and then select the script and it will make and print the envelope.
Anyone know of any script like that?

Problems using Address Book

Hi I have two problems using address book:
1) I am writing a new email and I need the address from adsress book. How do I do this while the Email is already open? There is no icon to open the adress book?
2) When I open the adress book and add people to a group it is not updated when I type in the name of the group in while I write an email. I just added 2 people to a group of 4. It shows all 6 members in the group but only 4 show up when I want to send them an email...
I hope I was able to describe my problems.
Thank you.

For 1) just customise your toolbar to add the Address:
Sorry, don't know the answer to 2).

Want to use address book like Pages on Numbers

I am a PC person turned Mac about a year ago. I will NEVER go back!.
Here is the issue, I love the way I can type one letter in Pages and highlight and drag my contacts from the address book to the application and it will automatically populate a new letter for each contact.
Now, I have build a form that I have to hand fill every single day. What I need to do is as such, Row 15 Column D = last name, Row 15 Column F = first name, Row 15 Column H = SS number, Row 18 Column D = town, Row 18 Column F = state.
If possible, I would like to highlight all 55 people, Drag, Drop and have 55 doc populate. (i can do one at a time and print to .pdf instead).
I searched and I am so new to this, I really don't know the terms I am looking for. I also used the help tab on the program and found some "address" formulas which didn't seem to work.
please dummy the answer down for me.
Sry about the edits, posting a photo.
Message was edited by: canosgmk1

maybe i am not too clear.
The merge would be the ideal, but I tried to do that today, and WOW, what a MESS! The table fits in Numbers but extends for 3 pages in Pages. I have shrink to fit option on.
I think using numbers may be the best.
I do not want ALL the address information in the form, I also don't want a visible header on it either.
At the end of the day, the jpeg file I attached where the person's name, ss number, town, state, miles is the only information I want to input.
I may have to go to a mac store so they can walk me though this. lol

How to use Address Book to enter addresses in mavericks Pages

Is it possible with the new Pages (mavericks) to import addresses from Address Book as it was in Pages 09?

Apple has removed 90+ features from Pages 5.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Trash/Archive Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store.
