Purpose of the Address Book and the Bookmarks Menu

What is the purpose of the Address Book and the Bookmarks Menu under the show all bookmarks? What is a useful way to use the two? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
In Address Book, you have the option of entering a web site address in an individual's record. In Safari, by selecting Address Book in System Preferences>Bookmarks, you can access a list of these web addresses via either the Bookmarks Menu or Bookmarks Bar.
Entries in the Bookmarks Menu are one way to enter, sort or access specific bookmarks. My preference is to access my Bookmarks via the Bookmarks Bar. More information can be found via the Safari Help menu (enter Bookmarks in Help's spotlight panel.

What are the steps to burn a cd of my home folder, my address book and my bookmarks folder? Using OS 10.6.8, iMac 27 inch .

What are the steps to burn a cd of my home folder, my address book, and my bookmarks?

Well, I am running Mountain Lion, so I can't send you a screenshot of what SL's would look like, but as far as I remember, Finder windows in column view still look the same. To open a Finder window, simply click on the Finder icon in your Dock. Then click on the little column pic above the "view":
Once you see your home folder, there is nothing to save - just drag that from the window to the burn folder. It will copy it.
As for address book, open it, go to Edit: Select all, then go to File > Export:
Save it to your desktop for easy access.
Safari Bookmarks:
File menu > Export bookmarks. Save to desktop.
Then drag all three files to burn folder.
Edit: The system is not allowing me to post a screenshot of the Safari File menu window. Will try one more time. Edit again: not working.

Syncing iCal, Address Book and Safari Bookmarks via AirPort Extreme?

Does anyone know of a way to keep iCal, Address Book and Safari Bookmarks in sync across three Macs that are connected via AirPort Extreme? I don't want to use MobilMe at this time.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Hey, Lehmann:
You need a server to process the information being sent out by your Macs. The server is what will determine which machines need what information, and will initiate the transfer. The Airport Extreme can't be this server as it only contains the functionality of a router. Most developers opt to develop WAN-based syncing (ie, MobileMe, Exchange, etc.) because LAN would be covered under that umbrella, so it's two for the price of one (I also think syncing over WAN is more convenient and more often the desired solution).
I don't know of any LAN-based syncing solutions (ie, one that would turn one of your computers into the server to process the data and manage the syncing), but I can at least give you some of the tech language to help define what you're looking for and help your search.
Can I ask why you want to keep the syncing server local? Is it a security concern? I love MobileMe and would highly recommend it unless there is a need for military-level security.

Can you rename the Personal Address Book and the Collected Address Book?

I would like to rename my Personal Address Book and my Collected Address Book for aesthetic reasons - is it possible and how do you do it?

You can rename them but it is not recommended. What purpose is served by renaming the default books? You can create new books and name them anything you like.

I want to replace address book and keychain and safari with the info from my old system.

In the old days of Leopard and Snow Leopard, replacing your address book with one from another computer or another user was quite easy. Likewise with Safari and Keychain, but now with Lion I can't see how to do it.

Do you still have the old system running?
Then you can export your old Address Book as archiv
Address Book -> Export -> Address Book Archive
Transfer this archive file to the new computer, delete all adresses in the address Book and import your archive.
Your Safari Bookmarks can also be exported
Safari -> File -> Export Bookmaks
and reimported on the new System.

I have TB 24.6.0 and I deleted the menu or tool bar from my address book and I can't figure out how to get it back.

I am trying to figure out how to efficiently copy a contact so I can add the contact information to an email. While experimenting I unchecked the menu bar or the tool bar from my address book and now I can't figure out how to get it back. So you could say I have two questions for which I would welcome suggestions:
1. How do I get my menu/tool bar back into my address book?
2. How can I efficiently copy and paste contact information?
Thank you
Rowdy1

The alt key or F10 will reveal hidden toolbars. Then use View- Toolbars to turn them back on.
Then press F9 when in a write window to turn on the contact sidebar for access to your address books.

I Need to build a database/booking and dispatch system that intergrates with iCal, Address Book and all Apple device's What would be the best Way.

Hi
Can anyone give me some useful information on the best ways to design and build a database/booking & dispatch system that can be intergrated through ical, address book and available on my macbook, ipad & iphone and all accessed through icloud.
I started my own chauffuer Service a year ago as an independent. it's becoming a massive bore that most of my time is spent taking down information, checking if i am available for clients and with alot of diary checking and repeatative entries and email ping pong and invoicing, what i want to do is concerntrate on advertising and marketing and using my time off for R & R
What i would like to do is access my information in an app and automate most of the processes like
assigning the job to the client with intergration through iCal and Address Book
be able to email confirmation through mail with an invoice produced through numbers or excel
payment is already done through payleven mobile and must be done in person so i'd rather keep that seperate to all processes apart from a tick box to say it has been paid for.
I have been looking at all options FileMaker, Bento, Automator, Apple Script. to be frank im no expert and am a little confused as to what to do any advice would be greatly recieved.

Hi,
I would suggest that is going to be an involved and complex process.
I would personally look into some of the invoicing and time scheduling software available and see if any fit your needs.

Has anyone found a solution to sending mail to groups in Mavericks? I've been given 2 approaches - 1 to type user name group into address and the other to go to address book and right click on group. Neither are satisfactory. Does anyone have a solution?

Favicons not displaying in tabs, but showing fine in the address bar and with bookmarks.

We had a power outage this evening while I was on the computer, and now, all of a sudden, when I open a site in a tab, the tab itself fails to display the site's favicon when applicable, but the icons display without any issue in both the address bar and in bookmarks. Is there any way to fix this without having to reinstall?
The same issue occurred yesterday while reinstalling Firefox after I had to reinstall Windows. But after reinstalling Windows a second time, things worked in Firefox fine, up until said power outage.

Check to see if you have the FavIcon Picker add-on installed. If you do, this is the culprit. I had the same issue and disabling this add-on fixed my problem.

I want to delete all the cards in personal address book and collected address, so I delete all of them, but when I reboot thunderbird, they all came back.

Select Help/Troubleshooting Information, click Show Folder to open the profile folder in your OS's file manager, exit TB, delete (or move to another location) abook.mab (Personal Address Book) and history.mab (Collected Addresses). When you restart TB, you should have empty PAB and CA address books.

Is there a difference in the mac mini address book and my iPhone contacts? I have them both as well as my Ipad2 connected on I could but these don't seem to be sharing contacts. It worked in the store. What have I done wrong?

I need path to the address book, and to internal folders

I had to refresh windows, and subsequently Thunderbird. I am trying to restore my address book and the internal folders such as sent and saved. I have backup but I cant find the files in it.

Address Book and mail files are all stored in your profile. Restore the entire profile from backup, not just individual files.
To locate the profile folder:

HT2486 is address book and contact the same program

I need to build and print a mailing list, is Address Book and Contact the same program on my Macbook Pro? I was considering getting Bento4 - not sure what to do

Yes.
Address Book came with OS X 10.7 Lion and earlier versions of OS X.
Contacts comes with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Apple changed the application name.
