Snow leopard and envelopes from address book

I was able to print out an entry from my address book onto an envelope--easily and intuitively even
for an over sized envelope. However, I can't figure out how to get both the return address name (mine) and the recipient's name to print with first name before last name. How do I do this?

Go to preferences int the address book. Select 'general' tab and you should see option to display first name before or after last name. Select the way you want.
Then select an entry, go to print... select 'envelope' and you should be able to see a preview of how it will print. Cheers!!

  • Problem printing labels and envelopes from Address Book

    I am very frustrated by the impossibility, when printing labels or envelopes from Address Book, of including both an individual name and a company name on the label or envelope. The Address book will only print one or the other. When sending correspondence to a person in a large company or building, the correspondence will not get to that person with only the company name or the individual name. It shocks me that in all these years I have been a Mac user, Apple has never noticed and fixed this fundamental problem. I would now like to buy an Ipod or an Ipad, but I am reluctant because I do not want to have to sync my addresses to Apple's juvenile address book. Is there any solution to this?

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard!
    Or check out the Mail & Address Book - Tiger Forums & ask if there is a work-a-round.

  • Printing envelopes from address book always has a second page

    When I print an address onto an envelope from address book, it always has a second page without any text on it even though I only want to print the address. So I have to select print 1 of 1 from my print options. Is there a way to eliminate this phantom second page?

    Without actually seeing the screens you open on your system to set this up and print, it's hard to offer any ideas for a fix, since I cannot reproduce it on my system. Can you post links to screen shots here of these different windows from your system?
    And are you running 10.5.3, or have you updated to 10.5.4 yet?

  • Can I back up computer with time machine on lion then reinstall snow leopard and restore from backup safely

    Can I back up computer with time machine on lion then reinstall snow leopard and restore from backup safely?

    If your machine came with Snow Leopard or earlier and you have your install disks, yes, you can reinstall SL. However, you will need to erase the entire hard drive so you will lose all your files. Also note that there are some apps (such as Mail) which can't be downgraded "automatically" such as with a restore from Time Machine. Here is some info on TM:

  • Can't drag and drop from Address Book to Mail?

    Hi,
    I have always used Address Book to store my email contact information in SL. When I wanted to send an email, I would drag and drop from Address Book to the "To:" field in Mail and it would add the contact information to Mail. I upgraded to Lion, and now when I try this, the address icon moves like it should, the little green circle with the + in it appears when I hover over the field, but when I release it does not add the address to Mail. The drag and drop does not work at all, but it looks like it should. I have searched all around but have not found any information about this. Does anyone know what's up with this? How can I fix it? Thanks in advance.

    Are you dragging from the actual AddressBook application, or the Address icon you can add to the NewMail and Reply toolbars in Mail?  (It ought to be there by default, but isn't).
    Either should work, but if AB doesn't, try the icon method:

  • Printing multiple envelopes from address book with Lion

    I am having trouble getting envelopes to print properly from Address Book in Lion.  I have specified size #10 envelopes.  When I print them, the text printed on successive envelopes moves further and further down the page until the address drops off of one envelope and is then printed at the top of the next envelope.  If I print to PDF, I see the same behavior.  I have an HP Photosmart Premium printer.  I didn't have this problem before I upgraded to Lion, and all my settings are the same as they were prior to the upgrade.  I have seen that other users have the same problem on the forums, but there isn't a clear cut answer to how to solve the problem anywhere.  I also tried using the easy envelopes widget, and I still have the creeping further down the envelope problem.  HELP!!!

    It seems to be a bug in Lion. Try the solutions provided in other disucssions about changing print size and orientation. Create a custom size and save it. You should be able to test it by printing to pdf first to check it. That way you won't have to waste paper.

  • How to clear image in sender label to print envelopes from Address Book

    Hello!
    I had been printing envelopes for greeting cards using Address Book. I had always ignored the "Image" option under "Label" for the +sender's information+. Today I decided to explore this option and clicked on "Set". Then I chose a picture from my "Pictures" folder. It looks nice and I was able to change the picture several times, but now _I do not want any "image" in the sender's label_.
    *How do reset the "Image" to none?*
    Thank you in advance for your assistance!
    Osk Asks

    Hello captfred! Thank you for your reply. I tried to do what you suggested but it seems that it only works for cards in my contacts or for my own card. My problem is within the settings under label when I am printing from Address Book.
    This is how I have been doing it:
    1) Select a contact or a group of contacts
    2) Click on File on the top of the screen and then select Print
    3) A window pops up and there I can choose whether I want to print an envelope, a list, or mailing labels
    4) In that same window is where I clicked on "Image" and "Set"
    5) Finally I click on "Print" on the bottom right corner and I get neat envelopes with my address (sender) and the recipients (my contacts)
    I hope this helps you to help me!
    Thanks in advance!

  • Problems printing envelopes from Address Book since Lion upgrade

    I've been printing envelopes to my HP PhotoSmart 2575 All-In-One printer from Address Book without any problems for years. I upgraded to Lion and now the first envelope is blank. Second one is okay but after that their print position slips little by little up the page until they become usless. I see on the forum that there are other people with different printers but the same problem. Has anyone found a solution to this?

    Hi David and Everyone Who it Might Help
    I was having this problem too!  *Many* thanks to you! 
    I was having it with both a new brother and Epson printer. 
    I followed your advice and created a custom envelope and just to clarify for any future reader.  The "rotate 90 degrees" is changed under the "orientation" tab by simply selecting the layout with the picture sideways inside of straight up and down.
    Second, the size change you mentioned is for the "Height," naturally, not the Width.
    Many thanks!!!  Great find.

  • Bulk mailing possible using address and information from Address Book?

    Hello,
    I'd like to send some bulk mailings utilizing data from Address Book like unique names, email addresses, and some other information in each message. Is there a nice clean way to do with with OSX components or iWork '09, or is some 3rd party software needed?
    Thank you,
    Jacob

    There are several 3rd party tools available -some of them are listed atemail.about.com. You can't do it with just Mail and AddressBook.

  • Cannot print name and company from address book...

    When you choose to show and sort by COMPANY in address book, though there is also a person in the entry, only the company shows when you print using Mac's print options.
    If the PERSON is shown and sorted on, then the COMPANY can also appear. But not other way around.
    Is there a 3rd party software that gets by this?
    I'm switching from PC, and this is the sort of nonsense I thought I was leaving.

    Welcome to Discussions
    Yes real pain this problem
    I use SnailMail from http://nixanz.com/ it does a good job
    Read the info about setting up and it should do most things but it is really for envelopes not labels but I think labels could be done with a bit of thought
    Happy New Year

  • Can I install Snow Leopard and boot from software RAID 1 (mirror)?

    I have a Mac Pro (quad core 2.66 GHz) on order for my office workstation. Yeah, I know new ones are probably coming out early next year but due to budget and upcoming projects I need one now. What I'd like to do is replace the pre-installed 640GB drive with two 1 TB drives and mirror them. The 640GB drive will be redeployed to another machine in the office. Can I boot from the Snow Leopard install DVD, go to Disk Utility, setup a RAID 1 with the two drives, install Snow Leopard to the mirror and then boot off the mirror set?
    I've searched and found offhand comments to the effect that installing to and booting from a software mirror is OK, but I'd like to know for sure that it's OK. Any experience that you have with such a configuration would be nice to hear.

    Yes. But before you do read the following:
    RAID Basics
    For basic definitions and discussion of what a RAID is and the different types of RAIDs see RAIDs. Additional discussions plus advantages and disadvantages of RAIDs and different RAID arrays see:
    RAID Tutorial;
    RAID Array and Server: Hardware and Service Comparison>.
    Hardware or Software RAID?
    RAID Hardware Vs RAID Software - What is your best option?
    RAID is a method of combining multiple disk drives into a single entity in order to improve the overall performance and reliability of your system. The different options for combining the disks are referred to as RAID levels. There are several different levels of RAID available depending on the needs of your system. One of the options available to you is whether you should use a Hardware RAID solution or a Software RAID solution.
    RAID Hardware is always a disk controller to which you can cable up the disk drives. RAID Software is a set of kernel modules coupled together with management utilities that implement RAID in Software and require no additional hardware.
    Pros and cons
    Software RAID is more flexible than Hardware RAID. Software RAID is also considerably less expensive. On the other hand, a Software RAID system requires more CPU cycles and power to run well than a comparable Hardware RAID System. Also, because Software RAID operates on a partition by partition basis where a number of individual disk partitions are grouped together as opposed to Hardware RAID systems which generally group together entire disk drives, Software RAID tends be slightly more complicated to run. This is because it has more available configurations and options. An added benefit to the slightly more expensive Hardware RAID solution is that many Hardware RAID systems incorporate features that are specialized for optimizing the performance of your system.

  • Printing envelopes from address book

    I want to send out letters to family so I want to print envelopes out of my address book except the name comes up as the contact (first and last name) and then the spouse and all the children after the last name. Is there any way to change the display name on the envelope?

    I'm not sure if there's a way to change that within address book, but you could always use the free EasyEnvelopes dashboard widget to customize the text of an envelope.

  • Searching and printing from address book

    Is there a way to do a find or sort on an address book field? That is, I'd like to find within "all" or a specific group which entries have (or don't have) an e-mail address associated with it. I'm aware that I can choose fields to display when printing, but it's not quite what I need. Is this a case for scripting or exporting? Or am I overlooking something really obvious? Thanks for any tips.

    Sorry, you can't do that. You can only search for text found in a name field for a card or group of cards, not for anything else.
