Using map image in address book

I would like to use a map image of a persons address as their photo in address book. I have done this before but have forgotten how to do it again. I click on a contacts address and it takes me to the pre loaded map app on my ipod touch. I want to save that map image into the photo image for that contact. How is it done???

Pull up the Maps app and go to their addess
Take a screen shot and edit as necessary
In the contacts app tap Add Photo, or tap the existing photo. You can take a photo with the camera or use an existing photo.

  • Rotating images in Address Book??

    I am rather confused at the determination of Address Book to store contact photo's on one side??
    I have rotated images right round 360 degress but no matter what way up they are once I drag them on to the image frame, address book automatically rotates the image 90 degrees counterclockwise of the right way up???
    It is clever how it knows but also very frustrating? Does anybody else have this experience?

    Hi Wesley,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Are you saying that Address Book takes an perfectly good upright image and rotates it 90 degrees CCW?
    I am a little confused by your statement.."It is clever how it knows but also very frustrating?"
    What program are you using to edit/rotate your images?

  • Preference for not using middle names from address book in emails

    I have quite a few contacts that I have their middle names in my address book. When I type their name in a new email, their full name is displayed in the "To" field. I don't want the middle name to show up in my outgoing emails. I also don't want to delete everyones middle name from my address book. Are there any preferences or plugins that allow this behavior?
    I also have some contacts that I have nicknames for...the most glaringly obvious being "Mom" and "Dad." I don't want to send an email to my parents with their name in the "To" field. Is there a plugin or a preference for this as well

    Greetings,
    Sorry, but there's no way to do what you want. The only way to avoid using a middle name in the To: field is for you to delete that from your contact, and from the Previous Recipients list in Mail. The same would be true for those contacts where you have a nickname.
    But ultimately, the name use by Mail and Address Book would be determined by the recipient when they send you an email; if they use their full name, that's what Address Book will change it to.

  • Can't change contact images in Address Book

    I am trying to update contact images in Address Book. Everytime I add a new image, it blinks for a moment, then goes back to being black. In my email, the images flit between being available, being old images, and being blank. I've been trying for two hours so it's not a "sync" or "just wait" issue. It keeps telling me that I am a different person, assigning a different contact card to myself, flitting back and forth between contact cards declaring that they are "me," and randomly allowing or not allowing pictures to be updated. What's going on?

    Problem solved. Finder > Library > Preferences. There were three files: com.apple.something or another and address book.something.. (I can't remember).
    Please realize that is only slightly more helpful than it started with a letter in the alphabet and ends in plist. Almost everything in that folder starts with com.apple. That is the default naming convention. It is a reverse domain name system (think reverse web address). So all Apple's preferences start with com.apple.
    For anyone trying to fix a similar problem, please don't randomly delete plist files. While most will cause no harm and will get rebuilt automatically, deleting some will cause a little shock and awe. com.apple.mail.plist being the most shocking. If you delete it, you will not see your email in Mail until you recreate your accounts exactly as you had them before you deleted the plist. The email is still there, it is just that Mail doesn't know how to find them.

  • Cannot change images in address book

    I have a very vexing problem that I cannot solve and would appreciate some help.
    I am running OSX 10.7.2, although I had the same problem with Snow Leopard. I have an iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 with 8 gig of RAM, although I don't thing that's relevant.
    For some address book records, every time I change the photo, it reverts to the original photo. And it happens almost immediately. All I have to do is update the photo, navigate to a different contact and back again, and the photo has reverted.  I can't even clear the image. I keeps returning. I have tried the following:
    1. Confirmed that all synching is OFF. I am not  using iCloud, I am not syncing contacts with Spanning Sync or Bento or any other app.
    2. Trashed all address book preferences.
    3. Trashed all images in User/Library/Application Support/Address Book/Images. They all magically reappear when I relaunch AB.
    4. Tried steps 2 and 3 in combination.
    5. Repaired my disk permissions.
    6. Tried launching AB in 32 bit mode.
    Nothing works! Very frustrated and would appreciate any help.
    Thanks.

    I can't help,but I have tried to get photos into Address Book (when they are supposed to appear in Mail as well). I have succeeded with two photos but the third will not appear anywhere. I have given up on this. Its a nice feature but not essential and not worth the effort.

  • Error Code 0x82bc1095 trying to map folders in Address Book synching with MS Outlook 2003 SP3t

    Help please. My BB Curve 8900 OS v5 has suddenly stopped synchronising with my MS Outlook 2003 SP3. It gets as far as address book then stops, giving error message " One or more configured folders is not availablr. Update mapping field and try again". Configuring my organiser, when I click on a tab I get another message saying "No available Message stores". I click on OK and get the tabbed page opern but the mapping folders field is empty and greyed out.
    If I click on Map Fields, I get another error message "Error encountered. Error code 0x82bc1095"
    No synchronisation takes place at all.
    I am far from technically minded, say about one step above being a Luddite. Can anyone please advise me?

    Thanks for your suggestion, but things have moved since then. I tried swapping my mapisvc by changing the extension to 'old' and running the repair, but this did not recreate a mapisvc.inf file, so I changed the extension back to inf. I also uninstalled Outlook Connector as other threads have suggested.
    However another thread suggested resetting the organiser using the reset settings button.  I did this, but the DTM will not now let me set up synchronisation with my Outlook. Outlook is shown as an option, along with Yahoo and ASCII.
    It just lets me go through the process but does not produce a tick in the appropriate box at the end.
    I did tell it to synch with Yahoo to see if it would take and it does, but when I try to change it to Outlook it does not register the change (leaving it as Yahoo). I have to select 'none' to clear the tick.
    You can probably tell that I'm useless at this sort of thing and I'm getting very frustrated with the whole thing. I've had numerous problems ever since I upgraded the device software. I think that if I ever get this working again, I will not do anything else.
    Hope you can help an old duffer and thanks again for your input.

  • How do I force Mail to use contact names in Address Book?

    I ~need~ Apple Mail to display sender names as I have them in Address Book. My students are Thai and have typed their sender names in Thai, so I can't recognise a thing. I've sorted all the names out in Address Book (in English) but Mail still displays sender names using the email default, rather than the names from Address Book.
    • Upon receiving new mail however, the message's sender name ~WILL~ show up as the name put in Address Book. HOWEVER, after viewing the message the name reverts back to the one specified by the email author!! After that I can't get the name to show up as the Address Book name!
    Is there a toggle somewhere? How do I force Mail to use the contact names from Address Book?

  • Reduce size of custom images in Address Book

    I love Address Book's wonderful integration with Mail.app, my iPod and even my phone. So, one day I decided to set custom images for almost all of my contacts - copying and pasting images into the fields.
    However, afterwards, I realised that my 275 contact address book has ballooned from 2MB to 49.9MB thanks to the pictures. If I export the contacts into a Group vCards, it is an astounding 121.8 MB.
    I feel that Apple should've limited the size of the pictures (automatically resize it just as iPhoto does for email and iWeb does for the web). However, this isn't the case.
    Thus, my question is:
    Is there a script or anything to reduce the size of those custom images? I am not looking forward to deleting the pictures and resizing them before importing them into Address Book. If there is an automated way of resizing the pictures, please let me know!
    Thank you very much!

    Hi mintchocicecream,
    Have a look at this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2271577#2271577
    May be of no help, but sounds like you have larger that necessary files.
    I do mot know of any script, short of a photoshop group resize that would work. Certainly nothing in Address Book.
    Good Luck

  • Having problems using mail merge from address book to word for labels

    I've downloaded and opened avery labels to word and would now like to merge an address book from my mac.
    When I get to the Mail Merge Manager and go to 'get list', my address book is not accessible.
    I'm sure there's a simple way to do this but have not been successful googling or using the help options on both
    pages and address book.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Hi shaun
    Looks like Pages '08 works the same as the previous version. You can't get data from multiple cards in one document. Try using Address Book's native label printing feature.
    Good luck!

  • Custom image from Address book not syncing to Exchange.

    I am running Mac OS X v 10.7.5. I have added custom images to contacts in address book. I have an Exchange account which will sync the data (ie name, address, email) but not the custom image. Is there away to have custom images sync to Exchange/Outlook?

    I'm Running Mac OS X Lion, and have seen that changes made in the mac address book do not sync to gmail contacts but changes to gmail contacts do sync to the mac address book.
    Making a change to a contact on my phone does sync to gmail contacts, and then to the mac address book.
    Another test I ran was to change the same contact in gmail and mac address book.  I made a change to a mobile number and notes in one contact on my mac address book, attempted to sync, and the change does not appear in my gmail contacts.  I tried multiple times, restarted my web browser, restarted mac address book, the sync would not work.  I changed the same contact mobile number in gmail with a slightly different change to the notes field so I could see when an update occurred, and when I told mac address book to sync it recognized a conflict. When I select the mac address book change to resolve the conflict, the gmail contact is not updated.  When I repeated the experiment and selected the gmail contact to resolve the conflict the change is made in the mac address book.

  • Images in Address Book 4.0.4

    Hi,
    I am updating my address book and I was wondering if there is way to increase the image size for my contacts. At the moment it just show a tiny image and I have to double click it to see a larger version.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi petelocke,
    The maximum image size for Address Book is 64X64 pixels or a multiple thereof, but if you have something larger (ie.128X128) it will still display 64 pixels square. A larger file size will sometimes compress to a smaller image, and I have found that 72 dpi at 64 square gives me the best resolution.
    But like Allan said, no way to get that image any bigger. Actually, I would be interested in knowing how you are able to double click and get the image to display larger - is this in Address Book?
    Good Luck,
    John

  • AppleScript and importing images into Address Book

    Hi all:
    I have a simple AppleScript that will create an Address Book entry. I want to import the picture as well, given a filename, but nothing I've tried will work. I get stuck on the fact that AB expects to be fed a TIFF picture, yet I can't figure out how to extract the actual picture data from the file.
    My AppleScripting is terribly rusty, so any help would be welcome - no matter how detailed.
    elderly G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Figured it out -I ended up putting the picture file directly into ~/Library/Application Support/AddrressBook/Images and naming it with the record ID provided by Address Book.

  • Mapping Issue from Address Book

    I've been having an issue when looking at map infomation in the address book on an iPhone 4s.
    When I go in my contact information to check my home address, which is all correct, whenever I tap on my home address Google Maps opens and the pin is about 10 houses out.
    However, if I type the address in manually in Google Maps or simple just click in the address field of Google maps and search again without changing anything, it shows my address exactly.
    I've had a few friends also try this and with the same result.

  • Help with moving contact info using Apple Script in Address Book

    Hi folks,
    I wonder if someone can help? I imported a few hundred contacts via a Gmail created vCard into my Address Book. The problem is that instead of inserting the email addresses into one of the email fields for each record, it has inserted the email address into the Notes field as follows: "EmailAddress: [email protected]".
    I would like help to write an Apple Script that will search my contacts in Address Book, find those with "EmailAddress:" in the notes field, cut the email address that follows it, and pastes it into the Work Email field, carries out the operation for the whole address book and saves the changes.
    Can anyone help me write a script for this. I've not used Apple Script before so this will be my first attempt!
    Thanks in advance,
    ayworld

    This should work:
    tell application "Contacts"
      activate
              set thePeople to every person whose note contains "EmailAddress:"
              set {oldTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, ":"}
              repeat with thePerson in thePeople
                   set nn to thePerson's note
                    make new email at end of emails of thePerson with properties {label:"Notes", value:text item 2 of nn}
              end repeat
      save
    end tell
    It will leave the entry in notes and make the label of the new email 'Notes"
    Normally when I post an AppleScript like this I tell the user to test it out before using it on the actual data but in this case I don;t know how you'd do that given there is only one Contacts and only one Contacts database.
    Just make sure you have a backup just in case. I tried it here on some dummy entries in my Contacts and it worked OK.
    Again this totaly relies on the data you presented. The Notes field has to be in the format
    EmailAddress:[email protected]
    for this to work.
    regards
    Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - If you select all the text in the box, then right click and select Make new AppleScript the script will open in the AppleScript editor. Just make sure you get all the text it is easy to drop the first or last char when selecting.
