  • Nicknames in Address Book

    I was wondering if there was a way to have the "nicknames" in Address Book be used as the default name for the entry? My problem is that when I use iSync to synchronize my address book to my cell phone, it pulls the first and last name of the person from my contact, when I would prefer that their entry be their nickname that I have entered in Address Book. Additionally, when I type the nickname in Mail when composing a new message, it doesn't recognize the name from my Address Book and so doesn't grab the e-mail of that person. Does anyone know of a way to make this work? Thanks!

    I was wondering this too... it seems like the only options are to have the person's nickname in the first name field and put the full name in the notes field, or to put the full name in the prefix, first, middle, last, suffix fields and the nickname in the nickname field. Some problems with the latter are that the full name appears in the name field in Address Book, is the one that must be typed in Mail, and is the one displayed in iChat.

  • Field links in Address Book do not work

    "A left click in the field of Address Book opens a contextual menu" does not work. All the fields in my Address Book are light gray, and however I click do, not yield any menu. I know they did a while ago, but did not record with what update this feature became disabled. Any explanation and solution? Thank you!

    Hi Ludwig,
    Thank you for letting us know about the issue with the links in the document. We will work to fix it.
    I believe the document you are referring to is called "SAP Discovery Demonstration Access"  which can be found at the bottom of the How To Set Up your Discovery System page and not the "Quick Guide", as the "Quick Guide" doesn't contain any links to demos/scenarios.
    In the mean time please go to the Out Of The Box Demonstrations section on the website, you will see there the links to all the demos:

  • 'Notes' field within the Address Book is greyed out

    The 'Notes' field within the Address Book is greyed out. The resolution seems simple enough yet this does not work: "Select the person in the Name column in Address Book, then click the Note field in the card."
    It's still grey after doing so and data cannot be entered into the 'Notes' field.
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    You'll want to post this in the Mail & Address Book forum. That link will take you to the Mail & Address Book forum for Tiger, and there is a link at the top of the page to the Mail & Address Book forum for Panther and earlier if you need to go there.

  • I would like to add a new card date field to my address Book Contacts. Is this possible? Thanks, Jeff

    Hi,
    I would like to add a new card date field to my Address Book Contacts. Is there any way to do this? I have a lot of contacts and it helps me remember who I talked to, if I had a new card date field in my contacts.
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    I found the applescript below from Michael Bach that works well.
    (* Find recently modified entries in the Address Book
    Input: a time interval (backwards from today) in the variable "daysBeforeToday"
    Output: a string on the clipboard, format: YYYY-MM-DD (tab) Name (return)
    ©2009, Michael Bach, <www.michaelbach.de> *)
    set daysBeforeToday to 7 -- <<<  change as desired or read from a dialog
    tell application "Address Book"
      copy (current date) - daysBeforeToday * 24 * minutes * 60 to referenceDate
      copy (every person whose (modification date > referenceDate)) to modifiedPersons
      set s to ""
      repeat with aPerson in modifiedPersons
        set d to ((modification date) of aPerson) -- now change to international format and forget the hours
        set dateString to (year of d as string) & "-" & (my twoDigits((month of d) as number)) & "-" & (my twoDigits(day of d) as string)
        set s to s & dateString & tab & (name of aPerson) & return
      end repeat
      set the clipboard to s --for pasting into other applications
      s -- to view immediately in the script editor
    end tell
    on twoDigits(aNumber) -- trivial utility for formatting
      if aNumber < 10 then return "0" & (aNumber as string)
      return (aNumber as string)
    end twoDigits
    I changed the modification date to creation date.
    Thanks for the replies.

  • Sync all fields from Mac Address Book to iPhone Contacts

    You would think that all the fields entered in Address Book would sync to iPhone Contacts. I have fields for "spouse", "assistant" and some custom fields like "skype", "blackberry", etc, which do not get transferred over to iPhone.
    I migrated from Entourage/Palm to "all Mac apps" to resolve this problem and now have fewer fields available than before!
    I want ALL fields sync'ed over to my iP3G!
    Anyone have a fix for this?

    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!

  • 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.

  • How to delete a custom field created in Address Book template?

    It is possible to create a new custom field name in any of the pop-up field categories in the preferences template for Address Book.
    But, once created, there does not seem to be a way to delete or edit the newly created custom field name. That doesn't make sense.
    Tell me that I am wrong, and then tell me how to delete or edit a custom field name. Thanks!!

    Thanks Pascal, I can change the viewed template field areas as you have described. My problem was with modification of the pop-up list entries: adding, deleting, and renaming user created custom field entries. I have since figured out how Address Book allows these functions; unfortunately, that specific information is not present in the Address Book help file.

  • 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?

  • Not all fields in Address Book are syncing

    For some reason not all the fields in my address book get synced from one computer to another. The template for all the fields in address book are the same on the different computers but the 'Department' field does not get synced. Any ideas how to fix this?

    So sorry...yes I'm using Contacts from Outlook.
    When I launch Field Mapping from the Advanced Settings for Address Book, the Handheld fields that are available for me to map to my Contacts in Outlook, do not include the fields previously mentioned so there is no way for me to map them to a destination field in Outlook.
    Maybe I'm using an old version of Desktop Manager??? Mine is version 3.6.0.63 (June 11 2003)...could you please let me know what version you have?
    Many thanks!

  • How do you get the custom fields added to a address book to show up on Pages 09 when merging fields?

    I created some custom fields in the address book and want to get them merged into a Pages 09 document.  When using the merge fields feature in Pages, only the standard fields are displayed.  I am looking for a way to have the custom fields from the address book inserted into the document.

    I believe you will find them if you go to table - unhide all columns.  When you drag and drop card(s) into pages, it automatically shows default fields.  The others are there but hidden.  I hope this works for you!

  • How can I customise the fields shown in the main Thunderbird address book window?

    When I click the odd-looking icon (a book with an arrow?) at the top of the vertical slider, I get a list of only 13 fields. I can display, hide and rearrange these fields. But I cannot see how to access any of the other fields in the address book, which I would prefer to see in the main window.
    (I know the fields are there because, yes, I can see these fields for individual entries. Also they appear in an exported csv file.)

    Quit Address Book then delete ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb - it will be rebuilt from data in the ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata folder.

  • Address Book Adds Carriage Return to Street Field on Import

    I've been having some fun and games trying to import a large list of addresses in a tab delimited file into the Address Book. After finally managing to sort out all the issues with importing the file, I have now discovered that the value for the Street in all of the imported addresses has a carriage return (\r) character appended to them. There was not a carriage return present in the tab delimited file.
    I doublechecked the Address Book entries using Applescript to inspect the final character of the Street field and it was indeed a carriage return.
    I presume that this is due to the mapping of fields in the Address Book to the columns in my file. The Address Book allows you to enter 2 values for the Street, yet I am only using the first one with the second one being set to be ignored.
    However, the import still adds the carriage return character despite the second Street field not being required. It's not obvious that this is happening when viewing entries in the Address Book, yet when it comes to printing the imported addresses onto labels, a blank line is left due to the empty second Street field.
    If I edit the card and amend the Street field to, say, add a comma to the end of the Street or, take it away, the problem disappears. I don't want to manually edit all the imported address of which I have 275. Is there a workaround for this, or some Applescript that will automatically edit all the Street entries to remove the carriage return?
    Is anyone else experiencing this? Could this be classified as a bug?
    Before someone suggests I use the thirdparty Address Book Importer, I have tried that too and it also results in the same problem.

    The blank line appears when looking at the addresses through applications like SOHO Labels and Envelopes or Imprint. The problem is that the carriage return is added by the Address Book as it is being imported, rather than the carriage return being there already, so loading the tab delimited file into a spreadsheet will not show any carriage return characters.
    In the end I cooked up some Applescript to go through the Address Book and strip out any trailing carriage returns from the Street field for all addresses. I'm no Applescript guru, but the following seemed to do the trick:
    tell application "Address Book"
    set thePeople to every person
    repeat with thePerson in thePeople
    set theAddresses to every address of thePerson
    repeat with theAddress in theAddresses
    set streetinfo to street of theAddress
    if streetinfo ends with "\r" then
    set streetinfo2 to (text of characters 1 thru -2 of (streetinfo as string) as string)
    set street of theAddress to streetinfo2
    end if
    end repeat
    end repeat
    save addressbook
    end tell
    The other alternative was to write a script to parse my file in something like Ruby and then use Applescript to add the records rather than use the Address Book import feature. That would probably have given me some flexibility with being able to add multi-line notes, but the above was quicker to hack together.

  • New Field Type's in Address book

    Is there a limitation in field creation for Address book that precludes new field types. For example I would like to have a boolean field called "New Contact" true/False. When I export the vCard file I can process to pull the new contacts that must be processed, either with a script or a sort. Can be used to select only the new entries from exporting a smaller file too (5000 person's records).
    Would I be correct in assuming (from my trials) that importing a vCard file will only add the new contacts and overwrite any changes in the existing ones. Or will I get duplicates from differing records with same name.
    Hope it makes sense. To explain I am trying to find a method for syncing contact data between mulitple users, most on Macs but one (the boss!) on PC. Address book has no autosynce between remote users only iTouch/IPhone I gather.
    Cheers and Hi to this forum I new here.

    You can't add fields. Address Book keeps somewhere an "updated" date for each contact, but you can't see it in an exported vCard nor with Applescript.
    Importing a vCard where the name matches an existing one pops a prompt, which is not what you want in any sort of automated multi-used system.
    Have you considered setting up an LDAP server on one of the machines and having the other Address Books pull their data from it? I don't know any operational details, but think your situation is what it is intended for.
