Re: Apple address book application PRINT PROBLEM

When printing a hard copy of my address book, I encounter these problems...
1, in any print format I use,  whether compact or indexed, whether I choose landscape or portrait, some info for the last contact in a column will "wrap" up to the next column with the 1st line cut off at the top!  The card name in the first column prints just fine, but one column over doesn't start with a card name and the info that starts to print there is only half a line, cut off at the top!
2, the "Notes" field won't print.  I cannot find any print field option to show the notes I have made.  I cannot find any way to add a "notes" field in the card template.  I would change a field to a custom name, but then the field itself doesn't accommodate what I need to record there.
3.  I have tried to change the font size in the print options, but the font size will not change to a larger type when I print.  
Can anyone help with a Fix for these issues?  Or can anyone suggest a purchased Apple application that I could export my address file to and print with more options than the standard Apple address book application? 

Hi,
have a look at Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/
It should do the trick.

  • All fields in apple "address book" to iPhone "contacts" possible?

    I need to have the complete record from my apple "address book" application on my phone's and iPad's contact info. Are the fields even there? For example, the "child", "partner", "Spouse", etc. Is there a better app that mirrors the info perfectly and syncs w MobileMe?

    I have a problem similar to DeeRun's.. I would like the IM fields to be synced.. I use them to send e-mails to when the e-mail field is empty or when i just want to use that specific address.. Very annoying, would take hours if not days to transfer all those IM adresses to e-mail fields in addressbook..
    EDIT: not to mention the mess it would make in my address book!

  • Apple address book is not responding -can i delete the application , and then reinstall it

    on my imac apple address book is not responding -can i delete the application and then reinstall it - all contacts are backed up to icloud

    If you have in mind backup, I would not count on iCloud backup, just go to ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book. In Lion, ~/Library is available by pressing Option key when selecting Go while in the finder. Backup that folder.
    Deleting that app will create further troubles. When a basic Apple app bahaves like that, you should better identify why it behaves like that, it may mean a more serious system issue. Is this the only app, which presents this problem? If yes, rather delete its associated plist file in ~/Preferences (the same location, press Option when selecting Go).
    Do regular backups of your data, choose a backup app you consider appropriate and proceed. When you are familiar with its reactions, you may then ‘play’ with deleting the partition and install/reinstall.

  • Problems with Apple Address Book Sync after upgrading BBDesktop s/w. Also, no more Rogers support - abandoned customer

    I just upgraded my BB Desktop Software but now have a sync error - details show that over 800 entries need to be synced.
    When I look at 'details', the 'before' shows a phone number field called "Main Fax" the 'after' shows a phone number field called "Other", with the same phone number targeted.
    There are a handful of other syncs such as address blank in 'before' and completed in 'after.  I found these by just scrolling down the list with my down arrow and scanning the 'before' entries as they flew by. 
    There seems to be no way for me to manually choose which of the 'before' and 'after' I'd like to have.
    Worst of all, I called Rogers for sync support, as I have done for years.  Guess what? They've stopped supporting anything but their actual network connections, but didn't bother to tell their customers.  There I was in a 'user down' situation, late for an appointment (missed it totally thanks to this), and they were telling me the most they can do is send an e-mail. or have me *pay* for the support that used to be free, selling me a 'premium support' package. Yikes!
    So I clicked 'sync later' on the address book, and am looking for help before I try another sync tomorrow.
    For example, ideas to help me manually over-ride the data field mapping from 'Main Fax' to 'Fax' in Blackberry Desktop Software.
    Anyone have any ideas?  Much appreciated!
    I live in Canada, by the way, so if you are a Rogers customer in Canada, take note of their change in support.
    Thank God I did  a backup before I upgraded my Blackberry Desktop Software.

  • Importing Netscape's address book into Apple's Address Book application

    I want to import my email Netscape email address book into Apple's Address Book application. So I open the Address Book application and select import from the pull down menu. That brings up three choices, vCards, LDIF and Text. I previously had saved my Netscape address book as a pdf file. So I selected, Text. A window appeared from which I was to select where I wanted to get the file from. I made selections until I got to where my pdf file was and selected it. But I got the following error message.
    The file you selected does not appear to be a valid comma separated values (csv) file nor a valid tab delimited file, please choose another file.
    So I tried again and this time I selected LDIF, but when the file in my Netscape Users Profile that would appear to be my address book came up, it was “greyed out” and I could not select it. The file had the name “abook.mab”. It is not an LDIF file. There are no LDIF files in my profile.
    So I tried selecting vCards, but I got the exact same results as above. The file that looks like it is my address book, is grayed out and cannot be selected.
    So I went into Netscape to see if I could export my address book into Apple’s Address Book. I chose export from the Netscape menu and a window opened asking me to select where I wanted to export the file to. But when I got to Apple’s Address Book application, it was greyed out and could not be selected. The same thing happened when I tried to select Apple’s Mail program.
    I have about three hundred email addresses in my Netscape address book. If these addresses have to be manually entered into Apple's Address Book, I will not make the switch to Apple's Mail program.

    Netscape's Address Book window does not have that option. The Export option is under the Tools menu, but does not give you any options in the Tools menu. Once you select Export, the Export Address Book window opens. This window does have a format option where you can select either LDIF, Comma Separated or Tab Delimited. But it doesn't matter which of those I select, Apple's Address Book and Mail applications are not available for selection.

  • Printing labels with Apple Address Book

    I like to print Avery labels ( J8160-J8151 ) from my Apple Address Book.
    A single label works perfect but I like to print 65 of the same labels on one sheet. How can I do this ?
    How can I tell Address Book the printing-position on a sheet of labels when the first five labels are used ?
    Where can I find a manual of Address Book ?
    Please I like to have some suggestions,
    Thanks, daans

    Daan,
    There isn't a manaul for Address Book really, just the Help info.
    You can't print a page of the same label. You also cannot choose the printing position. Apple has left it up to third party developers really to design products to take advantage of the Address Book database. The real power of Address Book lies in that it works seamlessly throughout the system and acts as a centralized contact database with which other software products can make use of the data.
    Here are some programs that might help you:

  • Cannot print from Address Book! Print freezes and will not proceed.

    I want to print an address list for Christmas cards. When I select the Group, select all and select Print I get the option box. I then select my printer and use the down arrow to open the dialog box that shows I am printing from Address Book and gives the different forms I can use (ie list, label, envelope) as well as the fields to include in the list. Once I have everything selected I click the Print radio button. All of the information under the Address Book options line disappears. Print remains highlighted and my printer Que never opens or appears. If I manually open the printer there is no print job showing. At this point the Address Book application is frozen. I cannot select cancel on the print dialog box (I can click it, but it does not highlight and it does not close the dialog box! In order to get out of this situation I have had to close Address Book. The quit option on the menu does work and Force Quit is unnecessary.
    I actually spoke with AppleCare on this issue on Friday 05 Dec 2008. The tech I spoke with knew of no other such situations, but when I started checking on this discussion page I see a posting from REECO from clear back on 24 Sept 2008. His posting can be found at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8161605&tstart=0
    The technician had me do several things. One was to pull my Caches folder out of my system Library folder. He also had me remove some Address Book preference items. The end result of these actions was a Mac Pro that would not boot! (The failure followed an Address Book crash with a "KERPROTECTIONFAILURE" and the message that some QualityMedia plugin might have created the problem!)(I could find no such plug in either on my system or via Google search!) The tech had asked me to boot to safe mode by booting while holding down the shift key untill the spinning gear appeared. The machine never progressed to a successful boot! I ended up having to use a 2nd hard drive and physically place it in internal slot 1 on my Mac Pro proceeding to reinstall Tiger! The bad news is that this did NOT solve my printing problem.
    If I am attempting to print from a new install with just the Apple address card and the Owner's card in Address book the print proceeds fine. Once I import my data I am back to the same print failure.
    Some diagnostic steps I have tried. I have tried USB local printers and bonjour printers. I have used Epson and Canon printers. I have tried to print to a PDF. I have tried printing from another computer (12 inch PowerBook) with identical results!
    At this point I am going to call AppleCare Monday morning and see if anyone there has any more suggestions. Any suggestions this forum has will be received gratefully!

    I was having the same crash or "just not print" problem as seen in other posts. I was able to fix it however, by making changes in some of the address cards I was going to print. By editing the "parent", "child", "spouse" fields which will get added to the name line of the label, I was able to get labels to print (or pdf preview) without difficulty.
    I did not try and determine exactly what the problem was, but basically did a data cleanup. Since I didn't know that those fields would print, I had previously included information beyond just a name in the fields, like birthdates and such, eg. "Jimmy - 12/1/05". After either removing the fields entirely where I didn't really need them, or just cleaning them down to names only, they printed just fine. I'd considered trying to disable the feature entirely but the data cleanup was not hard for a dozen or so names.

  • MacBook Address Book Application Does Not Run

    MacBook OSX 10.5.8 - Address Book application will not run - it shows up in Applications Folder but will not run - either double click or command File - Open.  I have reinstalled the Address Book application with the original installation disk, which indicated the application was installed, still will not run.  Rebooted, reinstalled again - same result -- the Applications Folder shows the file size as 1.4 Mb - updated today - the installation disk showed approx. 53 Mb was being installed - not sure if the Application Directory is only showing a command file or what - also ran the hardware diagnostic and found no problems.  Software update shows current software is up to date.
    Haven't used Address Book so do not know if it ever worked.  Need it now to sync with IPhone 4.  Any Ideas?

    rjackjr,
    After reinstalling an Apple application from the installation disk, it is also necessary to reinstall the latest Combo Update for the installed system. In your case that would be Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update.
    Try that and see what happens with your Address Book application.

  • Apple Address Book Won't Open

    On my iMac G5, my Apple Address Book won't open. It has been working perfectly and I've never had a problem since buying the computer about a year ago. Though the name appears on the top menu bar and the triangle shows beneath the Address Book icon on the Dock, nothing appears on the screen. I ran the Disk Utility Repair Permissions, but aht didn't correct it. I've rebooted and that didn't solve the issue either. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Verify/repair your disk first (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    I don't know how to troubleshoot Address Book, other than replacing its data with a backup copy if you have one, or just getting rid of that data. Address Book stores the preferences in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist, and everything else in the ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder.
    You may try moving those files out of there, to the Desktop. You may try removing just the com.apple.AddressBook.plist preferences file (so that Address Book re-creates it again), for example, or removing just AddressBook.data and renaming AddressBook.data.previous to AddressBook.data. Whatever you do, make a backup copy of those files first, just in case.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder.

  • Looking for a More Robust Address Book Application for Mac

    Hi-
    I have been assigned the task of consolidating all of our mailing lists into a single file. The final database will be 10,000 entries.
    Required:
    - normal address book fields (name address, phones, email)
    - six customizable fields (pull down menu or alpha)
    - easy print to Avery laser labels for bulk labels
    - easy print to Dymo label printer for one at a time labels
    - email bulk mail or export functionality to send bulk emails
    - interoperability with Apple Address Book, Apple Mail etc a plus
    Can the Apple Address Book do this or is there a third part application that will do the trick?
    Thanks in advance!
    LAHD

    Address Book is robust, but it's a contact manager, and you're wanting it to be a CRM application. There are a variety of CRM applications available some with sales tracking and others without:
    Daylite
    Redlien Account Executive
    I'm told the developer for Redlien is not actively working on the product anymore, but I have no confirmation of that from the company.

  • I get an error trying to use Apple Address Book with Word Mail merge - says it cannot open data file?

    I am running MS Word 2011, latest Mac OS, and trying to use the Mail Merge option with the Apple Address Book as the data source.
    However whenever I select the Apple Address Book as the data source, I get the error "Word was unable to open the data source".
    Anybody got any idea why?
    Thanks for your help

    I am guessing you could have solved this little problem already but perhaps someone else may benefit:
    I struggled with the same problem - not being able to use Mac Address Book (i.e. Contacts) with Word 2013 for mac mail-merge (on Mountain Lion and, now, on Mavericks) - with the exact same error message reported by Klausngigtoas above .
    So I read lots of techie stuff on forums which passed a nice few hours but didn't help. Finally, with slumped, defeated expression, I gave up.
    But I just now (such is life) I accidentally stumbled upon the simple solution:
    1. Enter System Preferences and click Security & Privacy.
    2. Select the Privacy tab and then on Contacts on the left hand panel.
    3. In the right hand panel ("Allow the apps below to access your contacts") just tick the Contacts box.
    4. And Voilà! - at least it worked for me - hope it does for you.

  • How can I migrate from Outlook 2011 to iCal and Apple Address Book in Mavericks now that synching is no longer possible?

    Now that I am on Mavericks and no longer able to sync between my iPhone/iPad and Outlook 2011 on my MacBook Pro, I'm finally taking the leap (which I should have done long ago) and abandoning Outlook 2011 all together (doesn't help that Outlook now prompts me to rebuild by Identity multiple times per day). I am hoping to export from Outlook to iCal, Address Book, etc, but I would love it if someone could check my steps.
    Delete iCal and Apple Address Book content -- Because I have old data in iCal and Address Book (that was synched before I upgraded to Mavericks), I planned to delete this data as follows:
    Manually deleting my multiple calendars in the iCal app
    Go to Go>Home>Library>Calendars and drag "Calendar Cache" to trash
    Go to Go>Home>Library>Caches and drag "com.apple.iCal" and "com.apple.AddressBook" to the trash
    Go to Go>Home>Library>Application Support and drag "Address Book" to the trash
    Export Outlook 2011 Calendars to iCalIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into iCal? I will use this file format to individually export each of my calendars from Outlook 2011 and import them into iCal.
    Export Outlook 2011 Contact List to Apple Address BookIs there a file format that I can use to export from Outlook 2011 and then import into Apple Address Book?
    Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi acs4055,
    As per your query I found a relevant solution for resolving this,  actually I haven’t tried the steps you wrote here in your query.  But I found a solid key answer for exporting from Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.1) Outlook 2011 to iCal for Apple mail. This is possible through Drag and Drop method via this you can undoubtedly migrate Outlook 2011 Calendar to ical format.
    Hope it will assist you and you will be able to attain a desired solution.

  • HT4489 How can I synchronize contacts between Apple Address Book/iPhone address book and Outlook (I'm on Mac OX10.7.4 and using Office 2011)?

    I appear to have done what I should to move to iCloud on my Mac, MacbookAir, iPhone and iPad.  Using Outlook 2011 on the iMac and unable to sync contacts between Outlook and my Apple Address Book and iPhone over the cloud.  I gather lots of people have the same problem but some appear to have solved it... any ideas?
    Also, in some sync, I managed to duplicate the entries on the Address Book on my Mac, whereas the iCloud Address Book is ok.  How can I replace the Address Book on my computer with the one on iCloud?
    Thank You for any help!

    Hi Lucy, I had the same problem with Outlook data sync. Once you've enabled iCloud all your contacts are moved to iCloud and are no longer stored on Mac, that's why Outlook cannot reach them - there is simply nothing to reach as data physically stored in cloud.
    I use SyncMate to solve this problem. This app allows connecting and syncing numerous devices and accounts with your Mac and they have recently added iCloud into this list (here the page where they describe sync with iCloud http://www.sync-mac.com/cloud-sync.html ).
    This is how I established sync of my Outlook data with iCloud via this app.
    1. SyncMate syncs only that data which is located on your Mac so you will need to move your contacts back to Address Book on mac from iCloud and disable iCloud for contacts (in order they were stored on Mac, not in iCloud).
    2. You install SyncMate and add iCloud as a new connection (depending on data you want to sync you need to choose "Cloud contacts" or "Cloud calendars" connection in SyncMate wizard and log into your iCloud via SyncMate). Once you've done this, you can sync data on Mac with iCloud via SyncMate.
    3. I may assume that automatic sync option is enabled in Outlook preferences (as previously your contacts on Mac were synced with Outlook). If no - please, enable it (got to Outlook preferences).
    4. Once all this done, data will be automatically synced betwen Outlook and iCloud (latter via SyncMate). The trick of SyncMate is that data is physically located on your Mac (thus ensuring it will be synced with other devices and accounts SyncMate supports, as I said before, SyncMate works with data which is located on Mac), but you still can have it in iCloud (sync will be performed via SyncMate, no need to enable iCloud itself).
    5. And of course, you will be able to sync your iPhone contacts with your Mac (SyncMate supports sync with iPhones also). These contacts will be also synced to Outlook.

  • How do I download a new address book application?

    My son deleted Address Book and now he wants its back. A software restore did not put the address book back. How do I find a way to download a new copy of the application Address Book? (He also deleted Mail app but I transferred mine over to his computer but that did not work for address book. I am running Tiger and he panther) I will strangle my son soon. Help. He should not delete applications willy nilly..not to mention they are really useful. Help.
    Ella

    Hello Ella.
    If you are running Tiger and your son is running Panther, I'm not sure how the Tiger Mail.app version is working with Panther. If it is working, it probably won't be for long. Your son needs the Panther version of Mail and Address Book which are not available as a download.
    You need to use an application called Pacifist with the Panther install package which allows for installing individual applications from the Panther install discs without re-installing the entire OS.
    You can download Pacifist at the following link.
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12743
    If your son is currently running 10.3.9 and the Panther install package includes an earlier version, after re-installing the Panther Mail.app and Address Book using Pacifist, you need to download the 10.3.9 Combo Update and re-install 10.3.9 to get the re-installed Mail.app and Address Book applications to the current version as of 10.3.9.
    You can download the 10.3.9 Combo Update here.
