Viewing the updated date in Address Book

Does anybody know a consistent way to view the "updated date" on an Address Book card if you have lengthy notes for every contact?
In Apple's desire to keep things beautiful instead of functional, they have placed a very light "updated date" status in the lower right-hand corner of each contact card in the Address Book.
However, if you have lengthy notes for that contact, you CAN'T SEE the updated date at all, because the notes obscure the updated date! The ONLY way that we have been able to figure out how to see the updated date is to select all of our notes for the card, CUT the notes to our clipboard, look at the updated date, and then PASTE the notes back into the contact card again.
Ridiculous, right?!
Any ideas on this? ALSO -- while we're on the topic -- does anybody know of a way to show the updated TIME in conjunction with the date?
Thanks,
Scott

Other than expanding the size of the Address Book window, there is no way to accomplish that.

That cannot be done at the present time, though it's possible that Apple may add that feature or option in the future.

Where does 10.6 keep exchange data for Address Book?

Today I lost many of my exchange contacts (??) and I'd like to restore from a backup, but the database in ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book only seems to contain the "on my mac" addresses, and I really need to restore from a backup that contains my exchange contacts. Restoring from time machine fails, it only restores my local contacts. Anyone know where I can find that data? Totally baffled by this...

It's not only Exchange entries, I have the problem with regular address book entries stored locally (and synced to MobileMe). Sometimes they pop up, sometimes they don't, sometimes some show up but not all of them, it's very odd. I can temporarily correct the problem by adding the Library/Application Data/Address Book folder to Spotlight privacy exclusion, letting it sit for a few minutes, then removing it (so that it re-indexes the data), but with hours, it back to mysteriously dropping data.
Also recently all data in my Address Book disappeared, and I had to delete all the files in the Library/Application Data/Address Book folder, then re-sync to MobileMe in order to get it back. Very concerning!
I've been having this issue since 10.6 was initially released, and it concerns me that 2 point releases have gone by without a fix for this.

Importing iCal dates into Address book

I have a calendar in iCal that stored severyone's brithday and I would like now to import these dates into my address book. Is there any way?
Thanks

Hi,
You may be able do this with an Applescript. However there is not enough information supplied to know.
How are ther events formatted in iCal? Do they contain the full name of the person? Do they say how old they are? Are the people already in Address Book, or would they all be new cards?

New users are not updated in Outlook address book (Offline)

Hi All,
We are having an Exchange 2010 environment. from few weeks we are experiencing this issue. When we create new user or change the name of a existing user, it is not updated in outlook address book. Can anyone help me to sort this issue?.
Regs,
Sachitha.

What is the Outlook client you are using? Is it 2003 or 2007+
You are right, you don;t have to update the OAB manually, the kind of issue you are facing is very know (As far as I experienced). After you update the OAB manually, check the issue and it should be fine.
After that create a Test User and check in Outlook if you see it populated.

I would like to change the display way of address book.

Hello~
I purchased Blackberry Q10 and have a question.
I would like to change the display way of address book.
Now BB Q10's address book show contact's name by "First Name -> Last Name" (Tarou<First Name> Yamada<Last Name>
But I prefer "Last Name->First Name" ( Yamada Tarou)
Because My native language is Japanese...
When I using Black Berry Bold 9900, I could change this setting by below way...
Options -> Typing and Language -> Language -> Global Name Display (Change to "Last,First")
But I can't find this option in my Black Berry Q10.
Could you let me know how to change this setting?

Hello yshr_825 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for your question on sorting contacts by name.
Launch Contacts and swipe down from the top of the Bezel and select Settings. In the tab Sort Contacts By tap on it and select Last Name.
This should now update your contact list to sort them by surname.
Let us know if this helps.

Export Your Mac OS X Mail Address Book Contacts to a CSV File
To save your contacts from the Mac OS X Address Book to a CSV (comma-separated values) file, which lets you import the data to many other address books:
Download and install AB2CSV.
Open AB2CSV.
Select Mode | CSV from the menu.To configure which fields will be exported, you can select AB2CSV | Preferences… from the menu and go to the CSV tab.
Now select File | Export from the menu.
Go to your Documents folder.
Click Choose.
The exported address book contacts are saved to a file called "everyone.csv" in your Documents folder.

Completed sales order changed with the updated ship-to address

Hi,
My client did the following test and found that:
- Change the ship-to address of a customer
- new sales order of this customer defauted to the update ship-to address (good!)
- old/completed sales orders of this customer show the new ship-to address (bad!)
Data used in occurred transactions should not be affected by data maintenances that made after the transactions. So, is the finding a design flaw in OM or there is parameter that can be tuned?
Thanks in advance for any input!

Hi,
Oracle will not store the entire Address in Sales Order tables. It will only store the internal id.
Now there could be two possible scenarios for which your client tried to chance the ship to address:
1) There is a correction required in the address(e.g. change in street name). If this is the case then changing the address would be correct approach, and I think all the sales orders(old or new) should reflect correct address.
2) If there is a relocation, then the correct approach would be to make the current customer site inactive and create a new site for the new address instead of changing the existing site. Changing the address of existing site for such a business scenario may not be a correct approach.
So based on what was the reason for changing the ship to address, I would say the system is functioning as expected.
Hope this helps.

Nitin S. Darji

Is it possible to subscribe to dates in Address Book other than birthdays?

iCal can subscribe to birthdays that have been entered into Address Book. Is it possible to have iCal pick up other dates that have been included in Address Book entries (anniversary, etc)?
Steve

Hi Steve,
I wrote an application that would enable you do this. Take a look at Dates to iCal. It is £4 shareware with a 3 week demo.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. It application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified.

Reset the device. If it doesn't work try removing your account and adding it again. If that doesn't work then try restoring the device to factory settings by pluggin into iTunes and clicking "Restore".

How do I remove on my mac data from address book

I want to get rid of my on my mac data from address book locally on my imac and just use the icloud data to populate address book. Someone else set up my other machines in the office that way, and I want to do it the same on this imac. How can I do this?
Thank you.

Hi Csound1,
I am stogling with the same issue posted on this discussion.
Exchange2013 and raw contacts populated on my contacts as well as on the exchange server (I have seeing it using a PC and outlook).
You sugest to clean on My Mac contacts. Do not set on My Mac as a default account. Following is what I found:
There is no way to get out the on My Mac account from contacts.
There is no way set any default account on contacts>preferences>general
The on My Mac contacts list IS EMPTY and the '-' sign is hidden on the contacts>preferences>accounts.
When I turn on my Exchange Account on my contacts are downloaded from the server, however, I still not able to set ANY DEFAULT ACCOUNT at all.
If I leave like it is 2 days later I will have at least a dozen of those expurious emails on my contacts list.
Thanks,
Edson

The search feature in Address Book no longer works

I have over 2,400 contacts. For no apparent reason the search feature in my Apple Address Book no longer works. The Address Book app has quit several times recently, again for no apparent reason. It is probably unrelated, but Preview has also been quitting. I have repaired permissions and used Disk Warrior 4.4 to rebuild the directory. Any thoughts?

That was a while back...after a little research to jog my memory, it had to do with iCloud. I found this on another page, and I think this is what I did to fix it:
"I had the same problem and fixed it a slightly different (and probably safer) way:
Backup your Address Book - File > Export > Address Book Archive
Go into preferences > iCloud - untick syncing for Contacts
When it asks you, tell it to delete the contacts from your local Mac (all your local address cards will be deleted but they will still be in iCloud)
All your cards should now be deleted from Address Book on your Mac
Quit Address Book
Go into preferences > iCloud - tick syncing for Contacts (this will download your contacts into Address Book again)
Open Address Book and after a few secs you should see all your cards and the problem should be fixed"
The important part is to be sure to export your Address Book before doing anything. I think I ended up afater deleting all the cards and quitting address book, I reimported them from the backup I exported. Has been fine since. This is pretty safe as long as you have that exported file.

Contact photos are not showing up in Mail message list, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it.

I'm using Mail 5.3 and Address Book 6.1.3 on X 10.7.5. I want my contact photos to show up in the message list on Mail, but only some of them do, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it. I've even tried replacing a photo that doesn't show up with a photo that does show up for a different contact but no luck. I am syncing to one other Mac, an iPhone and an iPad via iCloud.

Why are none of the groups in my Address Book showing up the address book tool in the new message window in Mail? Actually how do I get the two to match?

I seem to have lost the groups from my Address Book in the address book tool in Mail. When I try to address a new email, all my contacts are grouped under all and the other groups found in my Address Book application are missing. Is there a way to get the groups to show up in the address book within Mail?

When you make changes in AB, quit Mail for the changes to be added to Mail's database file. Reopen Mail and try it.
