Where do new added contact go when you add them to address book???

In address book on your mac you used to be able to designate where new contacts were added so you could find them easily. From what I can tell the option is not longer available. Suggestions?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
From the open Application Address Book go Menu->Help:Address Book Help. There's lots of good information there, and you can search (like using an index in a dead-tree version).

IChat always adding contacts to "On My Mac" (cf. Address Book Server)

Originally asked by oprah_noodlemantra in the iChat discussion group for Snow Leopard client, but I’m reposting here as it’s related to Address Book Server…

I've been trying an approach where I move everything out to our Mac OS X Server so I don't have to sync contacts, calendars and so on… I moved all my entries to the [Address Book Server] which worked fine but when I opened iChat… to edit the contacts, selecting the correct cards for all the contacts… it automatically adds that card to "On My Mac"… I've noticed that FaceTime.app only reads "On My Mac" cards as well…
I added:
Encountering exactly the same issue here on the Snow Leopard Server and clients I set up at our office. When joining an iChat contact to a Contacts stored in an Address Book Server card a (slightly incomplete) copy of the Address Book Server card is created in the “On My Mac” location and it’s this new local card that iChat connects to.
I don’t want these duplicate cards in my Address Book. The ones stored on the Address Book Server should be enough.
This whole local vs server card access issue seems… unfinished (and at a lower API level, if indeed FaceTime exhibits the same issue). Is there a solution to keep these cards on the Address Book Server but still reference them in iChat, without ending up with a duplicate local copy of the cards? Do I need to log this in Radar as a bug?

I have the same issue, and it is quite annoying. It seems as though Apple got the CalDav, CardDav, Push Notification, and iChat servers working just well enough to release, but didn't really get them working well.
I would file a bug with Apple, as I have not found any way of preventing a local copy being made.

Can't find the "Hidden" album (where photos are meant to go when you "Hide" them).

Any idea where I can find it?
As a workaround, I know I can make a Smart Album to achieve the same thing, but I'm pretty mystified as to why the built-in Hidden album doesn't appear at all, despite it being mentioned in the dialogue box every single time a photo is hidden.
Also, anyone else noticing photos becoming un-hidden for no good reason?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Just to be sure you have checked View > Show hidden Album I assume.

Updating Contact info from Mail not displaying in Address Book

So I was updating an existing contact from Mail using the data detector feature. Address Book was already running in background. I clicked on the data detector and said "update existing contact". I pick the contact that I want to update. When I go to address book to see if the contact was updated, it "appears" that it hadn't updated. However, if I exit address book and restart the data does appear. So it get's in the database but doesn't display until exit and restart.

After several days of trying, i finally seem to have it working. What i ended up doing was exporting my backing up my addresses on another computer that still had Snow Leopard on it. I exported both as .abbu and vCards. I was then able to get the vCards into iCloud.
Problem was, i could not get them to import into Contacts in Mavericks. I could not even add the iCloud account to contacts. It would let me sign in and choose contacts, but iCloud never showed up in the accounts nor did the contacts show up in Contacts.
After trying repairing permissions and resetting the PRAM to no avail, it occured to me to delete the Address Book folder from /Library/Application Support
Once that folder was gone, i was able to add iCloud to the accounts and import the .abbu file from Address Book.
So if you did not export your Address Book contacts before updating, you will need a second computer that is still running Snow Leopard to export the contacts. Then you can delete the Address Book folder from the Library and you should then be able to import the contacts into Contacts on Mavericks.
Hope this helps.

Contact Modify & Create Date not displayed in Address Book

I use the create & modify date a lot in Microsoft Outlook's contacts. Although those fields are supported and updated by the Apple Adderess Book, I can't see a way to display or sort on those in the Apple Address Book.

Adding contact in 7.1 adds as new contact

Is anyone else having issues with 7.1 when you add a phone number, to a exsiting contact? It removes the old number and on top of page says new contact

What is g? A constant? Another fitting parameter?
It is hard work to adapt the old lev-mar fit to a new model. Things are much improved in LabVIEW 8.0+, where the model VI is called via reference and tons of other improvements were implemented.
I made similar improvements in 7.1 and you can e.g. try to modify one of my many such postings. I posted one involving exponential integrals a long time ago.
(Download the example EI_Fit.llb)
To adapt, just change the model and adjust the number of parameters if needed.
For details, check the original thread. Let me know if you have any questions.

HT5262 where does the information get stored when you back up your i-phone? It just reports its done but I have no idea where to find it if I need it again!

Where does the information get stored when you sync/back up your i-phone. I have no idea where to look if I need it again!
Thanks

You can chhose the backup when you would reset your device. In this case you would get the option, during the set up process, to choose your backup and restore your device from it.
(You can find a few information e.g. size and date of your backup in "Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage")

Why is it on the photo app is that when you add your photos to new albums and when you are deleting from camera roll it will delete photos from everywhere so therefore once your photos are in the albums you have chosen you cannot delete f

Why is it on the photo app is that when you add your photos to new albums and when you are deleting from camera roll it will delete photos from everywhere so therefore once your photos are in the albums you have chosen you cannot delete from camera roll

Your photos are actually all in the Camera Roll. The album you create only contain pointers to these pictures. Albums are like music playlists; when you delete a song from the playlist it doesn't delete the song from your music library. But when you delete a song from your music library it will also be deleted from any playlists that it may have been in as well.

HT4623 My deleted contacts still show up when I want to send a text message. But when I go to my address book there not there only when I want to send a text MSG there name comes up and if I select them it only show there number not name in the message.

Try this...
have a text convo with the person you want to delete. Go to the top contact in the text convo, hit edit contact, and delete that contact.
That resolution came from another thread on this issue, and this did solve to poster's issue.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

Is there a way in Pages to show and print all the added "comments?" (those you add by highlighting text) I'd like students to be able to view my comments on printed version of their papers.

Is there a way in Pages to show and print all the added "comments?" (those you add by highlighting text) I am a teacher, and I would like students to be able to view my comments on printed versions of their papers. I know word displays the comments off to the side of the document, and those comments can be viewed all at once and printed alongside the document.

There doesn't appear to be a way to print conmments in either Pages or Numbers in the Mavericks versions.

In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail

In mail how do we stop the e-mail's showing as read when you select them without opening the full e-mail? I want to click on a mail and read this in the preview pane only without showing it as read.

Not possible. In order to read an email in the preview pane requires opening the message. You can mark a message that you've read as unread after reading it.

How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?

How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?
Even when I try to change the featured artist in my I tunes, it won't stay with my other songs, and I want to be able to listen to my album in the order of the songs that the album has it.

The iTunes/iPod software isn't set up to let you sync songs from more than one libray, but if you manually manage the iPod you can add tracks from multiple computers without removing the existing content. Personnaly I think syncing with a library is a much better way to manage your iPod, so I'd suggest you just copy the stuff you bought at work onto a memory stick, then take it home and import it into your iTunes library there.
