Sorting address book for latest updates of cards.

I had to use my Powerbook for several months and I therefore added or updated cards on that version. I want to transfer those changed cards to the iMac. If I can sort chronologically by updated date on the lower right of card then I can transfer them. Don't want to merge both address books.

Hello Stephen,
Make a new Smart Group, on the Alias/Smart Group you can Select All, the Export a vCard for that group...

Separate address book for my wife and I

I reently switched to Mac and this is driving me crazy. I would like to keep our computer under one user so we don't have to switch user profiles to access her address book or if I update and address in my book, it doesn't get updated in hers. But, when I go to address e-mails I don't want her huge list of names being auto-suggested and me having to sift through all of her addresses in order to find the people I want to address the email to. The question: Is there a way to keep all of our addresses in one address book (one user profile), but when I am logged into my mail, Mail knows to only look in MY address group for the email addresses I specify, instead of pulling up my wife's rediculous sized (and often unorganized) bunch of addresses. I don't want to accidentally slip up with the arrow keys and add one of her recipients to an outgoing email. Sometimes my wife's friends wouldn't appreciate emails that guys send to each other if you know what I mean...
Thanks for any help...and please tell me there is a way to separate my wifes email address book from mine...please tell me Mac thought of this.
PS I've tried the whole 2 user profiles thing and the idea of seperate address books for updating sake and other reasons, I'd like to try the single profile thing.

I thought Mac would be better with their mail client than this.
But Mail has nothing to do with this at all. Address Book is a completely separate application, and it's that way for good reason; it's not merely a whim.
I can't imagine what Mac is thinking that if a family of 5 uses the family computer, that all 5 people's email addresses clog up the search for the person writing the email at the time.
Each user has a separate Address Book (and other applications like Mail and Safari) to keep that exact scenario from happening, as well as to keep people out of each other's accounts so things don't go missing, private emails aren't being read by overly curious people, and so your account doesn't get screwed up by someone else playing with things they shouldn't be touching.
Are there any third party apps or plugins I can download in order to tell Mail that when I am in my account to only search for the contacts in a certain group that I create?
Sorry, but there's no such things available. It would be impossible for your Mac to become sentient and know what you created versus someone else creating.

Using Address Book for mailing labels

I know how to use the address book for mailing labels, but when I went to print I had children's names appear on the labels. Is there a way to request souces, but not children. In other words can you select specific information to appear on the labels. Or do you have to go into address book and delete the kids names. Any advice would be great.

There are several 3rd-party applications which will print mailing labels from your address book data and give you greater control of what is printed.
Roll Call Directory and Imprint have both been mentioned.
I don't know how they handle linked cards, so if you try either you might let us know.

Address Book creating thousands "No Name" cards

Thought I had a MobileMe syncing problem, but have now narrowed it down to Address Book creating hundreds and thousands of Contact cards for "No Name" all by itself. I go in and delete them and they reappear seconds later. It's a loop: delete them, Empty trash, they come back.
Just installed Aperture 3 last night. Could this be the problem?
HELP!

Thanks! Unfortunately, throwing away the plist file has not helped. I delete the extra thousands of "No Name" cards in Address Book and they come right back. I have MobileMe syncing turned off right now, so it is out of the picture. But, did a reset of the sync data last night in during the middle of all of this, and that still did not help.
quit address book.
reset your sync folder.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
then delete the file homedirectory/library/application support/address book/AddressBook-v22.abcddb. then start Address Book and see how it works now.
To repeat: deleted all "Address Book" plist files, launched Address Book, deleted 4000 "No Name" cards, waited a few moments, Quit and re-launched Address Book, waited a few moments, 4,000 + "No Name" cards add themselves back into Address Book.
YIKES!

Address Book automatically changes the "Me" card to somebody else's vcard

We are using 10.6 server to provide LDAP and Address Book services, lately we've notice that Address Book automatically changes the "Me" card to somebody else's vcard which causes iChat and other apps to show the wrong user name.
Is this something that might be caused by an issue in LDAP? I created a record in LDAP which we use as a common account that can be accessed via CardDAV and everybody "shares" this address book (our version of a GAL).

No solution for you... only a half hearted "me too"

Can not Create Address Book for new Supplier

Hi,
I am trying to create a supplier in R12. Under create Address Book for the supplier, I have created the address and when I select the operating unit and click apply, I am getting the following error:
Address and Site Creation - Unable to create address and sites because of the following error when trying to create the site in operating unit [Anirudh Operations]: [ORA-01403: no data found in Package AP_VENDOR_PUB_PKG Procedure Validate_Vendor_Site]. Either resolve this issue and try again or deselect the operating unit with the error and continue. Note: any new address requires at least one site in order to be created.
Oracle Version: 12.0.4 - Vision Database.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Sasibindu.

Looks like the responsibility you are using is pointing to a new operating unit created by some one. But for that operating unit all the fundamental options are not complete (financial, purchasing, payables and so on). Hence you are getting this error.
If they are setup, you can try adding this operating unit into your security group associated to the MO: Security group profile and try.
If not use the Vision Operations responsibility and give it a try.
Thanks

Lotus Notes 5.x Personal Address Book for mailings?

Is it possible to use the Lotus Notes 5.x Personal Address Book for mailings in StarOffice 7?
There is no direct choice for Notes in Extras/Datenquellen.

You will need to check to see how you configured CCM Enterprise parameters. most of the time, the pararemeters need to be set to IP address, not hostname. I find hostnames for the CM servers to be a pain in the rear for "services" "directories" etc.
Unless you want to configure DNS on the IP phones to resolve the hostname of the CM5 server, then then it will also work. But your problem is that your phones configs think that the Directories URL is http://cmhostname/xxx/xx instead of URL http://ipaddresscmserver/xxx/xx

Address books for another user sharing my computer for now

At this time I am sharing this computer with one other person ..I have set up and named another address book for them.
Is there a way that their email addresses do not get added too mine.. is there a setting where we can set it up so each one has there emails being added to their own addy book.. At the moment there emails are being added too mine... this problem will be ongoing fpr a period of time....
Thank you in advance. :)

''re: At this time I am sharing this computer with one other person .''
Usually, when people share a computer, each user has their own User Account which they logon using a password.
This means that Thunderbird then runs in that User Account and creates a profile in that User Account which holds all the Profile data, emails, passwords, address books etc specifically for that users email address mail accounts.
So then no one can read each others emails nor access other peoples passwords and they can use their own address books.
So if you are sharing a computer and sharing a Profile, then it is advisable that you do not have any stored / remembered passwords, unless that person is eg: spouse and you do not mind them having full access to all your personal stuff.
You have a couple of Options:
'''1.''' Create User Accounts on your computer so that each user has their own User Account, Create a Thunderbird Profile folder and set up mail accounts storing personal emails and address books.
This is the only method offering best security.
'''2. ''' Create another Profile for the other person. then create mail account for that Profile. This will then have it's own folders, address book.
Use Profile Manager to create another Profile.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager
Make sure to uncheck the box 'Don't ask at startup' to force it to ask which Profile to use.
Any user can still access any profile.
'''3. ''' In current situation.
Stop auto saving outgoing email addresses that are not in the address books as this uses only one setting per Profile.
Tools > Options > Composition > Addressing tab
uncheck: 'Automatically add outgoing email addresses to my'
click on OK
Then you would need to use an Addon in order to be able to select a specific address book when you wish to add the email address/contact to an address book. At the moment, if you click on the FROM header email address or right click and select 'Add to address book', this adds to the default address book called 'Personal Address Book'. This you cannot change because you are using the same User account and Profile.
But with the addon 'MorefunctionforAddressBook'
Right click on eg: From header and choose > Save recipients addresses' > as Contacts
This allows you to select the address book you require.
Addon 'MorefunctionforAddressBook':
* https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html
Download to desktop.
In Thunderbird:
Tools > Addons
Clickon on gear wheel icon and select : Install addon from file;
locate file you downloaded and click on Open
You may need to restart Thunderbird.

Company's Address Book for external contacts

Hi all,
I'm currently deploying a new Exchange 2013 in a company who had a different email system, so far.
One of the achievement would be to have an address book for external names (so, not in AD) shared within the company but managed only by a restrict number of people.
As example, list of vendors contact. The list should be available read only for everyone, but only the IT Infrastructure and few other people in the management should be able to add/remove/change the items.
Whato would be, in your opinion, the best solution to achieve that?
I was thinking using Public Folder. Create a sub-PF of contact objects and restrict permission accordingly. The only issue I can see, so far, is that seems not possible grant permission on a group basis to PF. Am I missing something here? It's the first
time I'm working with PF in several years :)
However, if there's a different solution you may advice, I'm all ears.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance to everyone.
Alessandro.

I was able to solve this myself.
Security groups has to be enabled on Exchange before being used to assign permission to PFs:
Enable-DistributionGroup -identity <SecurityGroup>
Add-PublicFolderClientPermission -User "<SecurityGroup>" -AccessRights
'<AccessLevel>'
Hope this helps someone.

Why does the display name in older messages change if I update my address book for that E-mail address?

I have recently installed Thunderbird 24.5.0 after upgrading a WinXP machine to Win7. I have discovered a strange problem with older mail that was imported from Outlook Express 6.
The pastor of my church uses a generic E-mail address <[email protected]>. This address belongs to the position, not to an individual. We recently had a new pastor come to the church, and I updated my entry for this E-mail address to reflect the new person's name. This is fine for new mail sent since the new person arrived, but Thunderbird has also applied the new name to older mail from the previous pastor. This is very confusing, since the current pastor could not have sent mail from that address prior to her start date.
How can I get Thunderbird to stop changing the Display Name in archival messages that were sent by the previous pastor prior to September 01, 2013? I have not encountered this situation before using Netscape 4.x Mail, Outlook Express 6, and Windows Mail (Vista version).

Of course it does. It looks for a match between the sender's email address and a Contact in your address book. You've edited the Display Name for this account so it gets applied to any message with that email address if that's how your Address Book is configured.
In the Contact card for this address, you can tell it whether or not to use the "real" email address within the message, or the Display Name from your Address Book. Telling it to use the name found in the message ''might'' resolve this, but it depends on how the sender has formatted it. If he includes his name then Thunderbird should be able to resolve it, and you just add both configurations to your Address Book as two separate Contacts, rather than modifying the existing entry.
However, in this situation you're using the same email address for two distinct people, so Thunderbird may not be able to know who sent the old messages. If both have sent using "rector@stpeterscobourg.org" without any personalization then Thunderbird won't be able to differentiate between them.
I have to say that I haven't recently tried using different display names with the same email address, so I don't know for sure if TB can use the display name constructively. If there's nothing in the old messages to tell you which sender wrote them, then TB can't do anything about it.

Need to update address book for snow leopard

I just recently downloaded the snow leopard to my Mac and now my address book icon says my version 4.1.2 does not work.
How do I update?
Thanks

I don't see how you could have downloaded Snow Leopard, when it's not available as a download and never has been.
Please explain.

Is there a place to download address book for tiger?

I was dumb and pasted my address book from my laptop which runs 10.5, to my G5 which is still on 10.4...so I pasted the address book application to the G5, overwriting the original file and the new file doesn't want to open...so is there a way to get the old address book from somewhere??

You don't need to download Address Book, nor can you. It's on your 10.4 install/restore disc. You just need to insert the disc, navigate to the Optional Installs folder, open the Optional Installs.mpkg file and check the box to install Address Book and run the installer.
You will also need to run Software Update to update your system to 10.4.11 if you haven't already done that, or apply the 10.4.11 Combo Update again to update Address Book to the latest revision for Tiger.

Cannot access address book after software update

I am unable to access the default address book after doing the software update - I restored my backup and everything is there except for my contacts. When I open my address book it is labeled personal and there are no addresses and when I add a contact it does not show up, but I noticed when I go into options it shows only default under address books with 99 entries and when I try to add a contact it does not show in the list on my phone but the number of entries in the default book goes up so they are going into that one but I cannot access it? Any idea how I can get my contact list back? (hope this makes sense to someone )
Thank you
Solved!

Sdgardne, thank you so much! Using your post and links I was able to restore my address book after upgrading my software and having trouble with my address book. And I am very technologically challenged so I appreciate having something I could understand and follow.
