Problems with autofill when editing address book entries

When i try to change eg miller to Miller, anna to Anna etc
1) the initial letter remains lower case and
2) even worse, another iller/nna is added on to the end - milleriller, annanna etc.
I've tried deleting the whole name and starting again - no joy. Is something going wrong with Autofill? Are there any preference files i should try trashing?
NB this problem only occurs with names which appear more than once in the address book.

Hi,
i was having this problem, specifically it kept offering me the word I wanted except all in capitals, which I didn't want. Turned out the cause was that the word was actually used in all capitals elsewhere in my Address Book. Once I hunted down all occurrences of this word in capitals and changed them to my preferred format the autocomplete stopped offering the all-capitalised version. Perhaps this approach will help for you.

Batch edit Address Book entries

Does anyone know of a way to change a number of address book entries at the same time?
Say, for example, You move offices. Now you need to change the work address for 150 people... how would you go about doing that?

Applescript.
Here for example is one that changes a load of email addresses. You would use something similar for changing postal addresses.

Mail hangs sending an email, with attachment, to some Address Book entries

I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Mail hangs when I send an email (with an attachment) to some contacts in my Address Book. If there isn't an attachment then it works fine.
If I type in their full email address (i.e. not their name) into the To: field, it sends it just fine.
Any suggestions please?

I am seeing the same thing with SL but without an attachment. If I create a new email and type an email address in the To field then either hit tab or enter the programs freezes for around 8 seconds.
I wonder if it is trying to lookup/verify the address with an external server? Apple mail is attached to an Exchange 2007 server here as well as Gmail. My address book contains both local and Exchange contacts.
For me the problem seems to be intermittent.

Problems with Reverting to an Address Book Backup

I keep my address book updated on my iMac at home that is running OS v10.6 Snow Leopard. At work, I am now using a G5 that is running OS v10.4 Tiger. I have created a +Backup of my Address Book+ at home and brought the .abbu file with me to work so that I could +Revert to an Address Book Backup+ on my G5.
I've done it twice already and I'm still missing vCards (mostly recently added). Also, some of the other vCards have old information. Is there something I'm not doing right? If the solution is to highlight all vCards and +Export vCard...+ then what is the point of +Back up Address Book...+

Dear Pat,
Thank you. I have received the exact same reply from Amreso.
I thank you both for your replies. If the problem occurs again, I shall follow your advice.
I just need to pluck up the courage. I get so nervous with the computer when it plays up.
Regards
Anthony

Problem with mailing Groups from Address book

I have been using Groups in my address book for a while - adding people to Groups and using the Group name to email them all at once. Recently (since turning on iCloud, though I don't know if that is the cause) I am finding the following problem. I add new people to my address book. I add those new people to a Group. I go to mail and use the Group name... but the new people are not in the email list (when I drill into it). If I go to the address book and use control-click and the drop-down box to select the option to send a mail to the Group, the same thing happens. Any suggestions out there? Thanks.

I am having a similar problem. All the addresses are correct, and I know this because I use them all the time with no errors. BUT when bundled into a group - actually any group I set up I cannot send successfully. I have two groups in my mail program and neither will work.

Problems with envelope-printing in Address Book: First and Last names

New entries I make in Address Book are printing incorrectly, with Last name then First name. Most of my older entries print correctly as First name then Last name (though oddly I have a small batch of entries I imported ages ago which have always exhibited the same transposition problem).
I have prefs set to display entries by Last name. Problem entries WILL print correctly if I change this to 'display by First name'. (older entries print correctly regardless of 'display by..' pref).
I'm having the same problem if I create a new account, which made me suspect the app was corrupted, but not helped by deleting app and re-installing from Tiger DVD then running combo updater.

Thank you for the suggestion.
However, it doesn't make sense for the LIST display-order to swap the first-and-last names on an ENVELOPE. Secondly, most of my entries DO print correctly: it's only NEW entries that transpose the first and last names.

Problem with synchronization of the Address Book

My problem is in the synchronization of the Address Book:
if I add or delete a contact in the iPhone or nell'iPad, syncing, iTunes tells me that there will be a change in the address book, but then in the Address Book on my Mac the new name does not exist or, if I deleted, remains .
If I make a change (eg. Put an address or a birthday) in contacts of the iPhone or iPad, iTunes tells me that I'm editing the Address Book, but then the change is not in the Mac
The strange thing is that after the synchronization, if I delete the new name or the variation in the iPhone or iPad, iTunes tells me again that it is making a change on something in the Mac Address Book I can not see, but which evidently is somewhere, but does not appear for whatever **** reason.
On the contrary, working on the Address Book in Mac, synchronization is successful, and devices that I feedback positively what I added or removed from my Mac
The synchronization of iCal instead occurs regularly in both directions.
MacBook Intel Core 2 Duo
OS Snow Leopard 10.6.8
iPhone 4 16G
iPad 3 16G
All applications updated
I do not use iCloud

Hi Krishna,
The only solution I can think of displaying the doc inside the portal content area is to create a document iView, embed this iView in a role and then in the link use:
http://<server>:<port>/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://<PCD Location of the iView inside the role>
But that is not very short.
Best regards,

Problem with Entourage to ICal & Address Book sync

I have recently has a problem with syncing information logged in Entourage's calendar & address book across to iCal & Address book, which then in turn syncs with my iPhone.
For some reason the information is not now being sync'd across to iCal & Address book. I have checked that I have set the preferences correctly both in Entourage & Mac sync preferences but still it doesn't transfer the info.
Can anyone help?
Simon

Since the issue with is with Entourage, and it's not an Apple product you should consider posting your question on Microsoft's own forums as they would be geared more toward your issue than an Apple forum:

Editing address book on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

I can't figure out how to edit address book entries on my printer. Can someone provide some tips?

One of the easier ways to do this is through the EWS, or embedded web server. Find the IP address of your printer by pushing the wireless icon on its display, and put that ip in to a web browser ad if it was a web site. After that if you go to scan to email along the right, or you may have to go to scan along the top first, you should see address book on the left column. This is going by memory so if that doesnt work let me know and i confirm on an actual unit.

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.

Editing multiple address book entries

I'm trying to update the "Company" field with the same value on dozens of Address Book entries at the same time. Having no luck. Anyone know how to update these all at once?

I am attempting to do the exact same thing - did you ever find a resolution to this problem?

I'm using Lion on an MBP and Numbers is the latest version

May you give more details about what is wrong with your dates ?
M…oSoft products aren't allowed on my machines but I use LibreOffice which is a clone of Office.
When I export from Numbers to Excel and open the result with LibreOffice, the dates are correctly treated.
To be precise, dates after 01/01/1904 are correctly treated. dates before 01/01/1904 are exported as strings but, as it's flagged during the export process, it's not surprising.

How do i remove my photo from my Address Book entry?

two questions: first, how do i remove my photo from my entry in Address Book? i should be able to click "Edit", select my photo and hit the Delete key and be done, but no - hitting the Delete key does nothing except make the photo blink.
second, i just posted a comment on a web page that i've never been to before, on a site that i've never been to before, and my photo appeared on the web page next to my comment. very creepy. anybody know why this is and how i make it stop? does it have something to do with my Address Book entry?
update: i've consulted Address Book's help and it tells me to select the card then go Card -> Clear custom image, but when i do, that menu item is grayed out.
further update: i've worked around the problem by taking a screen shot of a blank white area of a webpage and making that my photo...but i shouldn't have to do that and would still like to know how one actually deletes one's photo from Address Book. Address Book's help indicates that i'll find such photos in Library/Images/People, but there's no such directory in any of my Library folders. Address Book's help is not being very helpful today.
tia...

there is actually no way to completely delete an image for you address book entry. you can only change it to something else as you did.
as for the image on that website, most likely it pulled your photo from your webpage on some site like My Space, Facebook etc. do you have a page like that? some sites will tap directly into your webpage and pull your pic from it.
