Printing labels from Address Book

Hi there,
I have tried to print labels from Address Book using the provided template within the application.
The probem however, is that if I want to print a number of labels, say for myself, I can not seem to specify how may labels to print with a selected address.
As well, if I print one label from the application, I do not see a way to tell the printer or the application to use the next field of the label sheets.
Am I missing something completly obvious or is it an oversight in the Application?
Thanks in advance

Jim,
I think I understand your question. Hopefully this will help you with at least one of your problems. In order to print out address labels for just your name and address, you'll have to duplicate your personal address card several times. I duplicated mine 29 more times so that I could print out 30 sticky labels. Here's what I'd suggest:
1. Create a new group in the far left side of your Address Book window by clicking once on the "+" button found at the bottom of the Group column, and then title your new group something like "My Return Labels."
2. Locate your main personal card in the "All" group, and then slide it (or add it) to your newly created group.
3. Highlight your card from within your new "My Return Labels" group, copy and paste it about 29 times.
4. Once done, make sure you have just your "My Return Labels" group highlighted, then go to your Print command.
5. Choose the proper label style, and print away.
Good luck, Grampa Doodie.

  • Printing Mailing Labels from Address Book

    Stupid question, but one that is driving me crazy.
    How do you print a sheet of mailing labels from Address Book but when the entire sheet of labels is the SAME label?
    I can print labels successfully in address book, can select the label type and number, etc.
    However, when I select a single contact, I can't find a way to print up an entire sheet of labels (e.g. 14) of all the same contact - it only prints one label of the single contact.
    Please help! I know it must be a simple fix but can't find it anywhere to select as an option.

    OK, weird that this morning (one day after you posted this question) I had the same question. I just want to print some return address labels for my own company. While I haven't been able to find a software based way to do it, I did think up a workable (if a bit ridiculous) hack. Copy the address you want to fill the sheet of labels with however many times there are labels on the sheet and select those however many copies and click print! I created 30 copies of my own company's address in Address Book, selected them, and printed a sheet of labels without problem. A bit dumb, but it works!
    Hope that helps.

  • Change labels in print menu from address book

    I am trying to print invitation labels from my address book for a personal party. I would like to change the labels in the print menu to add "and guest" or "and family". I called Mac support but they couldn't help me. Does anyone know how to manipulate the the guest names in the print menu to make it "party friendly" versus "business version"? Thanks!

    Welcome to the Discussions Jenp13,
    NO, you can't edit any data in the print menu in OSX. There are several programs that you can use that will interface with or accept data from Address Book. From searching sites like Apple's Made4Mac page or checking out macupdate you can find many.
    PearLabelizer is free and Mail Factory and HomePrint Labels are other options that I came across. Most are able to d/l and try for free before purchase, so check out a few and make sure it fits your need before buying.

  • How to clear image in sender label to print envelopes from Address Book

    Hello!
    I had been printing envelopes for greeting cards using Address Book. I had always ignored the "Image" option under "Label" for the +sender's information+. Today I decided to explore this option and clicked on "Set". Then I chose a picture from my "Pictures" folder. It looks nice and I was able to change the picture several times, but now _I do not want any "image" in the sender's label_.
    *How do reset the "Image" to none?*
    Thank you in advance for your assistance!

    Hello captfred! Thank you for your reply. I tried to do what you suggested but it seems that it only works for cards in my contacts or for my own card. My problem is within the settings under label when I am printing from Address Book.
    This is how I have been doing it:
    1) Select a contact or a group of contacts
    2) Click on File on the top of the screen and then select Print
    3) A window pops up and there I can choose whether I want to print an envelope, a list, or mailing labels
    4) In that same window is where I clicked on "Image" and "Set"
    5) Finally I click on "Print" on the bottom right corner and I get neat envelopes with my address (sender) and the recipients (my contacts)
    I hope this helps you to help me!
    Thanks in advance!

  • Print Mailing Labels from Address Book

    After following the convoluted rules for Address Book, I finally got my Leopard computer to print Mailing Labels with proper relationships displayed. I upgraded to Snow Leopard and now this is all broken again.
    I read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3952 which describes the changes made to Snow Leopard, however for anyone who already put in a lot of work to get labels working correctly for Leopard (or Tiger), this is a major set back.
    Not only that, the Snow Leopard method for printing labels breaks so many other uses of Address Book. I will name a few:
    iPhone:
    I sync my address book with my iPhone. My buddy calls, now instead of "Bob Smith" displayed on my iPhone, I will see "Bob & Jean Smith" even though the call is from Bob's cell phone....all because I followed the new 10.6 rules to get proper labels printed by 'hacking' the first name field and changing "Bob" to "Bob & Jean".
    Mail:
    When I receive and email from Bob, instead of it saying "Bob Smith <[email protected]>" it will display: "Bob & Jean Smith <[email protected]>"
    I'm sure there are other examples of how this change will break other apps.
    Solution:
    Apple should add a Print option to Address Book with a backwards compatibility checkbox that will include relationships with matching addresses to support 10.4 - 10.5.8 address book printing usage.
    If you agree that Apple should add this Print option to add back support for relationship printing, add your voice to this thread, as well as post a bug report to Apple with similar contents.

    A vote here for a checkbox in preferences to "include related names," allowing for 10.5 style behavior.

  • How to Print on either Avery 8160 or 8250 labels from Address book

    Hey all,
    I'm trying to do Christmas Address Labels and I have my addresses in Address Book, and I have Avery Labels 8160 or 8250 (3 rows of 10, can't tell the difference between the two).
    I've created a group in Address Book that has all of the people who I want to send cards to.
    I highlight all of them go to Print, then change to labels, but Address Book shows only a 2 columns of 12. How do I change this to 3 columns of 10?
    If I can't do this from address book. I do have the new version of MS Office for Mac, but It's label wizard isn't very easy to use, I either get a whole bunch of junk, or one sheet of the same address.
    Any help would be nice since Christmas is the end of the week.

    If I only looked a bit further. There is a "layout" option once you open up the print dialogue. Thats where you select the correct type of avery label.

  • Any way to create labels from Address Book WHICH I CAN EDIT?

    I know how to print labels direct from Address Book but I need to be able to edit the labels before printing. Anyone know how to do that?

    I had to chose "Desktop" to be able to set 1920x1080. Not sure what Desktop means.
    Which raises the question of what the render codec will be. I'm trying AIC since it is more compressed than "422 uncompressed" yet can be 1920x1080.
    AIC works, BUT it is darker. HDV is also darker. DVCPRO HD is also darker.
    422 uncompressed and PhotoJPEG and Component are almost equal brightness. Both are slow.
    So one has a choice of slower than normal playback with correct image or full speed playback with dark image. Can't have darker because it screws-up CC.
    Also: The QUALITY parameter is critical for PhotJPEG, yet not only can't one define it one has no idea what Adobe has set it to.

  • Printing envelopes from address book always has a second page

    When I print an address onto an envelope from address book, it always has a second page without any text on it even though I only want to print the address. So I have to select print 1 of 1 from my print options. Is there a way to eliminate this phantom second page?

    Without actually seeing the screens you open on your system to set this up and print, it's hard to offer any ideas for a fix, since I cannot reproduce it on my system. Can you post links to screen shots here of these different windows from your system?
    And are you running 10.5.3, or have you updated to 10.5.4 yet?

  • Printing problem from Address Book

    This is driving me crazy. I am printing envelopes for Christmas cards from Address Book and I was trying the different options for printing my home address on the envelope (selecting a different font from the default and selecting a photo as an image to be included). I've now concluded I don't want to include any image when printing my home address but now can't figure out how to get rid of it. In the print menu it has a "set" button for the image, but it just takes you to a finder window to select a new image, but I can't see how to select no image at all. Can anyone help?

    Hi, I had the same problem. I solved it by selecting a spacer.gif image. This is an image of 1 white pixel. This was the only way I could think of and works fine.

  • Problems printing envelopes from Address Book since Lion upgrade

    I've been printing envelopes to my HP PhotoSmart 2575 All-In-One printer from Address Book without any problems for years. I upgraded to Lion and now the first envelope is blank. Second one is okay but after that their print position slips little by little up the page until they become usless. I see on the forum that there are other people with different printers but the same problem. Has anyone found a solution to this?

    Hi David and Everyone Who it Might Help
    I was having this problem too!  *Many* thanks to you! 
    I was having it with both a new brother and Epson printer. 
    I followed your advice and created a custom envelope and just to clarify for any future reader.  The "rotate 90 degrees" is changed under the "orientation" tab by simply selecting the layout with the picture sideways inside of straight up and down.
    Second, the size change you mentioned is for the "Height," naturally, not the Width.
    Many thanks!!!  Great find.

  • How to print editable mailing labels from Address Book?

    I am once again working on Holiday Mailing Labels (450 pple) and needing to export editable mailing labels from a smart group in my Address Book.  but I can only print out non-editable pdf labels.  Is there a way around this?  Editable labels are vital!! Can I export my contacts to a file that can be imported into Microsoft Word Labels Mail Merge?

    I have the same problem. After much searching for easy solutions, I just added a user account on my mac, and use the address book/contacts for the end of year mailings. This meant copying, manually, a lot of contacts! At the same time as they were entered the edits were made. I can make edits ongoing within these lists without changing the contacts in my personal user account. There oughta be a better way!!!

  • Print Labels in Address Book - 'portrait/landscape' option?

    I need to print labels "sideways" due to custom label loading in my printer.
    I have tried setting up a custom label layout in Address Book. However, it consistently prints the labels such that the text is horizontal to the printer feed. I need it to print the text vertical to the printer feed, basically rotated 90º.
    If I wanted to rotate text printed from Pages or Word I would switch from portrait to landscape or vice-versa. Is there no way to do this in Address Book? Am I overlooking one of the custom settings? Thank you!

    Great news so far, thanks!
    A possible workaround for adding text...

    To add a pic/logo to the left side of each label, click on the Label tab, look for image and set..., it will resize it to fit automatcally...

  • Labels- How to populate labels from Address Book

    In OSX Address Book - how do I populate an Avery 5160 label sheet?  Also I'm looking for Christmas labels - any suggestions? I found nothing in Word.
    Thanks

    Open Contacts and select the contacts you want to print (Command A to select all or Command click to select multiple individuals), then File menu Print. In Style select Labels and in Layout select Avery Standard and 5160.
    For Christmas labels (and most other label printing) I use the Avery Design and Print software and import data to it from a spreadsheet file. You can download the Mac version of Avery Design and Print at http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Help-Center/General-Help/Avery-Design--Print.ht m

  • Deleting custom labels from Address Book (& iPhone !)

    Not sure if this has been covered, but I've got a lot of extrraneous custom labels created in Address Book.
    Does anyone know how to remove the ones not wanted any longer ? Just that the list gets longer and longer each time !
    Shame Apple didn't think to have all labels done with the first letter capitalised - looks much better that way.

    I also migrated from a Treo to an iPhone, and was hoping to have custom field information transfer from my desktop to my iPhone. It would be rather handy when I need help remembering the name of someone's spouse, etc. Has someone created an iPhone app for this perhaps?
