  • Unable to send mail to importet contacts via address book

    Hi all,
    I've searched the web without finding a solution to my issue with one of my users, so I had to create my own thread.
    My issue is that one of my newly employed users importet a large amount of contacts (over 3000) from his previous workplace (which worked after a little trouble via manually importing a .pst file), but when he tries to add contacts to a mail via address
    book and send the mail, he receives a mail back with "the following recipient(s) cannot be reached"
    I can resolve the issue by copying the mail address, under the contacts profile, and pasting it in the "Email" field, basically retyping the same mail. The mail will then go through without any return mail stating the above error. I could do the
    same for all 3000 contacts, BUT that is a lot of time needed, which I would really like to avoid.
    We are running Exchange 2010 and Office 2013.
    I'm hoping for a fix from one of the clever minds in here!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Does the issue happen when sending mails to all these 3000 contacts? Please send test message by adding other contacts to a mail via Contacts in Address Book to check whether the issue can be reproduced.
    Please make sure the latest patches and service packs are installed for your Outlook 2013. Additionally, please try the following test to narrow down the issue:
    1. Please switch to People panel in Outlook, click a imported contact, click Email in HOME tab. Then send a message to check whether this message can be sent successfully.
    2. Please open the Contact PST file in Outlook instead of import PST file. Then do step 1 to send test message and check whether the issue persists.
    If the issue doesn’t happen when sending message to contacts in opened PST file, it indicates the Contacts which is saved in the PST file should be correct. The issue may be related to Contact resolved in Outlook client. Please create a new Outlook contact
    or create a new Outlook profile to have a try.

  • How to edit multiple contacts in Address Book?

    Hi,
    I'm doing some cleaning in my Address Book; I have lots of contacts, where I'd like to put similar information (eg. Company or Address). Is there any way to edit fields in two or more contacts at once (like editing tags in multiple MP3s in iTunes?)
    Thanks in advance

  • How do I delete multiple contacts from address book?

    Hello,
    I have been using Macs for well over a decade. As a result my Address Book has become crowded with a large number of contacts for people I don't know anymore, most of which are out of date anyways.
    Is there a way to quickly delete multiple contacts? I think I have about 100 contacts to delete. Doing them all manually will take forever.
    Thanks!

    I assume that this will work, but I thought my first suggestion would work so ....Log into iCloud.com on your computer. Click on contacts. Click on the settings icon in the lower left corner - then click on Select All - then click on Delete.

  • How to copy the same address for multiple contacts in Address Book?

    Hi! I got a question, I didn't find an answer for yet.
    How to copy the post address from one contact to another, without manual entering. I mean if I have one contact with already entered post address, can I just copy it someway at once to another contact?
    I don't want cards to merge, I need separate contacts, that may have different phones, e-mails, but the same post address. Please, advise.

    Thanks! yes, this is a solution I'm following now. But I was wondering about the similar way as it is made in Daylite or Contactizer - you create company with name and post address first, and then can create a contact for that company. And company name and post address will appear in contact name.
    I just wonder why such a simple and useful solution isn't available in Address Book as default.
    I know there are many scripts written for Address Book. Maybe there is something for this purpose?

  • Multiple Contacts in Address Book

    I have found that I have 2000+ contacts in my Address Book. Most of those are empty or repeated records. I don't know where they came from. I have recently hooked up mobile me and an iphone, so I should have push technology. Is there a script to delete them so I don't have to do it manually? Where did they come from?

    Need to take the time to edit/fix your address book on your computer. Once fixed there is a checkbox in the tab for iPhone syncing of contacts (may need to scroll down) that says replace all contacts on phone with what is on computer on next sync. Thus it won't try to merge but take your computer as master and remove all contacts on phone and replace with what is on the computer.

  • Add area codes to multiple contacts in address book

    We are having to add area codes to contacts due to having to dial 10 digit phone numbers. Is there a way to do this for multiple contacts at once, rther than changing each one?

    Export your database to a csv file, open in a spreadsheet, add area codes and then bring the file back.

  • Adding notes to Mutliple Contacts in Address Book

    Does anyone know how to add a note to multiple contacts in address book? For example I have a list of people I sent holiday cards to and would like to add a note "Holiday Card 2005" to each contact. I do not want to create a "Group".
    Thanks!

    There's currently no way to do this within the application, but Address Book's applescript support should make this possible. You can select a number of records, and have a script operate on the people within the selection.

  • Problems syncing from contacts to address book

    I have an iMac which now runs OSX 10.6.8 and an iPhone 3GS that runs the latest iOS 5.
    Long story short, I downgraded from OSX Lion back to OSX 10.6.8 a few months ago.  Got quite a few problems doing so...  ended up creating a brand new user and transferring music, videos and photos manually.  Then, the iOS 5 got out and I upgraded my phone right away.  I couldn't figure out icloud at first but understood yesterday that it works only with Lion.  I thought I'd keep it on my phone if I ever want to install Lion again.
    I also realised that I never transfered back in my iMac all my iCal events and Contacts.
    So yesterday, I tryied to sync my Contacts, iCal and Notes from my iPhone to my iMac.  In the iTune info tab, under each section, there was a message mentioning that since I use iCloud, I don't need to sync my info through iTune and doing so would possibly create duplicates.  I try to sync them anyway since I only had to in Address Book.  I got the message to merge or replace.  I selected merge (yes I had at least one contact in Address Book).  Nothing happened...  iCal didn't merge anything and neither Address Book.  I tried to create new events in my phone and iMac and these were syncing but not the original ones.  Also added a contact in Address Book and it got sync with my phone.  I didn't try creating one on the phone to sync it through but assumed that it was working.
    After going through a few discussion threads, I decided to delete the iCloud account on my phone since I didn't need it and try re-syncing.  The iCloud message in the iTune's info tab was gone so I thought everything would be good and I could select merge my contact again without any problem.  I was wrong...  I lost all my contacts...  I freeeeeeeeaked out !!  Thank God I didn't unplug the phone and restored it right away to get everything back.
    I tried it again this afternoon but only tried to sync iCal.  I didn't get to choose between merge and replace and the same thing happened again...  lost everything...  iCal but also Contacts which I find strange because I didn't check the Contact option in iTune....   I got everything restored back even thought it's always scary to try things like this....  So for now on, I don't delete my iCloud info on my Phone and do not sync any other info.  I'm actually scared to plug it in and always double check that my contacts are all there before unplugging.
    So here I am...  don't really know what to do...  I read stuff about removing apple.isync files or something...  or other options but they never quite answer my problem...
    There is still the option to type all my contacts back in Address Book..  I don't have that many... but it's a pain...
    Sorry about the long message here
    Thanks for your help and for your time.
    Ben

    Clearly iSync has got confused about what new data it needs to pull from the phone. Usually resetting the sync history solves this, but as it hasn't for you... try this:
    I would suggest sending all the contacts from the phone to the Mac manually via Bluetooth: *Contacts > Options > More > Advanced > Send all Contacts > Via Bluetooth* (or similar, depending on the exact phone model)
    This will send vCard(s) which can be imported into the Mac Address Book simply by double-clicking the file that arrives on your Mac.
    Merge or remove any duplicates as they are imported. You can also use the *Card > Look for Duplicates* command in Address Book.
    Once all your Contacts are exactly as you want them in Address Book do a full backup of them:
    *File > Export > Address Book archive...*
    Finally, load iSync, click your phones icon and choose *Reset Device...* from the Devices menu.
    This will force iSync to remove all the existing contacts from the phone and completely replace them with all the new nicely sorted out ones from the Mac Address Book.
    From this point on, iSync should keep track of what needs updating on each subsequent sync.

  • How can I send a message to multiple contacts using "groups".

    How can I send a message to multiple contacts using "groups".
    It was easy on my sony ericssonn....do i need to download an app?

    There is no group send option like you are looking for.
    To send to a group you have to pick each person you want to send to and send as a group that way. Then don't delete that SMS thread and you can reuse it again later.
    As for an app, well SMS works via your carrier and the OS, not something an App can do unless the app send the data to them (a third party) and then they relay it to the carrier. Do you really want to be sending your SMS to some 3rd party first?

  • HT3529 SMS sent to multiple contacts were converted into mms.

    SMS sent to multiple contacts were converted into mms, text only 61 characters long including spaces. Carrier O2 have said it is an known issue with apple products. This has cost me £50 to say happy new year to my family and friends. Anyone know of this issue with iPhone. Called into apple store who were unaware of this? Everyone blaming each other as usual! Can't see in term and conditions for O2 or apple that this would happen. The message is stored on the phone as a text message! Thanks

    Thanks Tim, apple say the same thing, carrier's method of handling multiple SMS creates this issue, can't see anywhere which alerts the customer to this on terms and conditions so back to O2 it is then!

  • Can I overwrite contacts in Address book with my iPod Touch contacts?

    I'm an idiot - I somehow managed to delete ALL of my contacts in Address book. I don't use Time Machine (not enough external HD space) so I can't restore that way.
    I did happen to sync my iPod Touch shortly before I deleted everything so my contacts are fine there. Short of re-typing everything into Address Book, is there a way I can tell iTunes to overwrite my contacts with the ones from the iPod touch?
    It's the only place I have my contacts - and because I enabled Google sync, it deleted all of my Google contacts too! HELP!!

    If you sync, the contacts will be copied back into Address Book on your Mac. You should get an error message that pops from iSync (a warning about changing more than 5% of your data), which you should Allow.
    In case you're worried, I have tested this (backed up my address book, then deleted the contents, then synced and my contacts were restored from my IPT).
    Hope this helps...

  • No Contacts or Address Book app

    My new iPhone doesn't have an icon for Contacts (or Address Book).  Is that something I have to add myself?  That seems odd.  I can see contacts if I set out to create a message, but don't see any way to pull up a list of contacts right from the start.  User error, I'm sure.

    Swipe down on the home screen and type Contacts in the search field. If it is on the device (and it should be) it will show up, and if it is in a folder, will tell which one. Assuming it does show up in the search, go back tot he home screen and swipe left-right to see your alternate screens and locate it.

    how do i import and sync my icloud / iphone contacts into address book on my macbook pro, how do i import and sync my icloud / iphone contacts into address book on my macbook pro
    Runnig 10.6.8 on a MacBook PRO.....

    The easiest fix if you're running Snow Leopard is to export all your contacts, then import them into something like google (I already had a gmail account), and then just use google to sync your contacts instead of icloud (via the sync with Google button in the address book settings).
    Its a bit sluggish to update, but it works well.  You can then point your iphone, and other iOS devices to use google for contacts too.
    If Apple don't want to look after their customers, other companies will gladly do so....

  • Import contacts to address book

    Does importing new contacts via a csv file overwrite or delete existing contacts in Address Book?

    Nope.
    It makes an additional contact.
