Sending faxes using Address book

I am able to send a single fax from my MacBook Pro (10.5.5), using my Apple USB modem attached to my phone line.
If I type two separate fax numbers into the "To:" line in "Fax Information", I can send two faxes, one after another.
But if I set up fax numbers in my Address book, and then in the "Fax Information" box click on the little silhouette to bring up my Address book... it won't let me click on anything in the Address Book box that it brings up. It just gives me the "boing" sound whenever I click anywhere in the Address Book (just like it would if you were trying to print a page, and clicked anywhere outside of the Print Dialog box).
So if I have a fax I need to send to a dozen clients, I have to enter each client's info in, one at a time. It would be great if I could actually use the Address Book to save time in this process.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

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".

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.

Sending Faxes using internal modem and DSL

I found that I can receive a fax, but I cannot send one. When I try and send one the internal modem tries to connect to the internet using "internet connect". It searches for a number to connect to the internet. Since I am using DSL now I don't have a phone number to dial into the internet. If I put my phone number in it calls me and gets a busy signal.
Can someone tell me how I should be configuring the internal modem?

From the Knowledge Base at

Sending a fax
You can fax files directly from your computer to any fax machine or computer that is set up to receive faxes. If your computer has a modem that is connected to a phone line, it is automatically configured to send faxes.
Open the document you want to fax.
Choose File > Print.
Choose Fax PDF from the PDF pop-up menu.
Type the fax number of the user you want to receive your fax in the To field.
You can also choose users directly from Address Book by clicking the Address Book button to the right of the To field. Be sure you have a fax number listed for each user you choose in Address Book. For more information about using Address Book, see Address Book Help, available in the Help menu when Address Book is open.
If necessary, type the dialing prefix required for the phone system you're using in the Dialing Prefix field. (For example, if you need to dial a 9 to access an outside line, type 9 in the Dialing Prefix field.)
If you want to send a fax through a modem other than your computer's built-in modem, choose it from the Modem pop-up menu.
If you want to send a cover page with your fax, click the Use Cover Page checkbox and type a message in the Message field.
If you need to change any of the preset faxing options, choose the type of options you want to change from the Fax Cover Page pop-up menu. (To see options for the application you're using, choose the application from the pop-up menu.)
If necessary, select options for the type you chose. (For example, you can select the number of copies you want faxed if you chose Copies & Pages in step 8.)
Tip: If you have a combination of options that you frequently use when faxing a document, you can save it as a "preset." After choosing your options, choose Save As from the Presets pop-up menu and type a name for the set of options. If you want to use this set of options when you fax a document, choose its name from the Presets pop-up menu.
Click Fax.
The fax is sent as soon as your modem is available. (For example, if you're using your modem to connect to the Internet, the fax is sent after you disconnect from your Internet service provider.)
You may want to send your fax at a later time. For example, you may want to send it at night when telephone rates are lower. Just choose Scheduler from the Fax Cover Page pop-up menu, and enter the time. Make sure your computer is on, is not asleep, and is connected to your phone line at that time.

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!

Faxing And Address Book

Finder Help <keyword FAX> says "You can also choose users directly from Address Book by clicking the Address Book button to the right of the To field. Be sure you have a fax number listed for each user you choose in Address Book. For more information about using Address Book, see Address Book Help, available in the Help menu when Address Book is open."
Neither Mac Help nor Address Book Help say where to enter the fax number in AB. Fax Number is not one of fields into which one can enter data in AB. So where does the fax number go?
Thanks

At the Address Book menu bar, go to Address Book > Preferences and under the Template tab, select the green + sign at Phone to add a phone field. I believe the default field is Main. Select the pop-up next to Main to change it to home fax or work fax or you can add two phone fields - one for home fax and one for work fax.
When editing a contact in the Address Book or when adding a new contact, the fax field will be available to add a fax phone number for a contact.

Apple script to send SMS via address book.

I've pair my mobile with my Mac and can send sms through address book but can i create a script to do this automactically?

Well, yes and no. Address Book's scripting dictionary knows nothing about SMS, so you can't do it through Address Book. You could conceivably use GUI scripting, but I think that would be a pain. There is a scriptable utilty from SMS MAC which looks if it might do the job - if you decide to try it I would be interested in hearing how you get on.

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).

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

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,

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 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.
