Which Address Book names have a picture?

Is there any way to easily see which cards in Address Book already have a picture? I was hoping that the tiny icon in the Name column of Card and Column view would change if you already had a picture attached to that card. Some visual indication, like the indicators for whether the card is a person, a company, or My Card. Has anyone found a way to do that?
Failing that, is there any way to persuade a Smart Group to indicate that a Card includes Picture? Or that a Card doesn't include a Picture?
Am I missing some easy way to do this? Haven't found it searching the forum, nor via Google.

If you run this script with Script Editor it will list in the Result pane the contacts with a picture. Remove the "not" from the line "if (count of image of APerson) is not 0 then" if you would prefer a list of contacts without a picture.

  • How to tell which address book contact belongs to?

    Hello
    I have multiple address books (gmail, Outlook, work, etc...).
    As each address book has over 100+ entries, I look for contacts by searching (Simply starting typing their name!)
    When viewing the contact, how can one tell which address book they belong to?
    When I try editing, unable to edit which address book they belong to.
    I'm sure I'm not the only one. Search here ... nothing yet ... at least I do not see it
    Super thanks Blackberry lovers!
    Anthony
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Open the contact in question. At the bottom click on Links. It will tell you the contacts list(s) it belongs to.

  • Address Book (Name) Doesn't match up with my Mac Mail Inbox

    I have a contact who is filled out in my address book but when He sends me an e-mail my Mac Mail gives him a weird 'From' name instead of showing his 'Full Name'. (Which is correct in my address book)
    I have his e-mail address filled out in my address book and it matches the one he contacts me at.
    ex: http://screencast.com/t/Njg1ZDg4ODY
    He appears as JS in Mac mail instead of showing his full name (which is what I'd prefer)
    I hope that makes sense. If you need me to clarify anything, let me know.

    The From name will be whatever name the sender is using. Not that the from address displayed in Mail is J S <etc....>. What you see within the angle brackets should be the actual mail address.

  • Changing the shared address book name.

    I am sharing my addressbook through .mac to serveral other .mac users in the office. When they subscribe to it is shown as "Homer Simpson" (name changed to protect the guilty). I want to change that name to "Office Address Book". I tried change "MyCard" to read accordingly in Address Book but that wasn't it.
    Where is the shared address book name getting pulled from?
    Thanks All!!!

    When I select print for an individual contact or for all contacts, I have an Attributes section to select which attributes to include with the printing for each contact that includes the following:
    Phone
    Email
    Address
    Instant Messenger
    Photo
    Job Title
    Department
    Company
    Nickname
    Mainden Name

  • Address Book entries have very strange appearance

    Since updating to Leopard, my Address Book entries have a very strange appearance. When I copy and paste them the info is correct, but in the Address Book right-hand window the name (first and last) appears like gobbledigook, as if it was a strange font that is almost like mathematical equations
    With my utmost thanks in advance (as ever) if anyone has the answer to this weird problem
    Kind Regards
    Bernard

    Thanks a million for taking the trouble to respond Ashka.
    I was only reminded of the problem when I opened a web page and saw a similar effect on a couple of lines as I had in my Address Book and having discovered your response, I followed your instructions and on scanning through my fonts, I also turned off "Helvetica Fractions" (as the gobbledigook looked as if it might be fractions). One of these actions seems to have done the trick.
    Whilst looking for a particular font a while back, I ended up downloading absolutely hundreds, but it wasn't until I foolishly installed them all that I realised what a mistake I had made, as Word wouldn't even open, as it couldn't cope with the number of fonts. So I had to keep deleting fonts until Word was happy and even now, I still have far too many fonts. I kid myself that I like having so much to choose from, but truth is I am never going to use 90 per cent of them. Moreover, having discovered this problem, I wonder if there are any others in there that are going to cause me problems in the future?
    Again, can't thank you enough for your trouble
    Best Regards

  • Why Mail displays the name and address instead of address book name?

    File under the category of unanswered miscellaneous quirks by a new Mail user (the old posts were archived/locked)....
    I have found that by eliminating any spaces in FIRST name field, the Address Book name appears w/ blue losenge (w/o the e-mail address).
    I had many of these entries due to an incorrect import from Entourage that concatenated first name & MI with a proper space between.

    I've been looking for some time, does anybody have a work around for this?

  • Mac OS 10.6.8.  In address book I have tried to delete some groups (created when I created an account in mail which I then subsequently deleted).  However in address book edit the delete button is greyed out.

    I cannot delete groups in address book because the delete button is greyed out.  I have deleted the original mail accounts which created the address book.  I could just leave the groups there but the problem it creates is that address book tries to connect to the relevant server every time I open mail, then I get various error messages because it cannot connect.  Thanks for any assistance.

    I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

  • POP3 Mail & Address Book contacts have gone!

    I recently did some housekeeping on my Mum's iBook G4 (OSX 10.4.10), part of which was purchasing and installing SpamSieve into Mail. This all went fine. Today she said all the mail in her POP3 inbox had gone, she couldn't send/receive and all her address book contacts had gone (Except hers and Apples).
    I've got the iBook now and have noticed that her account type in Mail has somehow changed to a .Mac account (did I somehow do this, or did she???). This is obviously the root of the problem as the
    email address now has '@mac.com' appended to the end and the incoming mail server is now 'mail.mac.com' and the outgoing is 'smtp.mac.com:heremailaddress' which is all wrong. I'm unable to change the account type back to POP or the incoming mail server from 'mail.mac.com' (it's greyed out) back to what it was.
    I have now created a second account with the correct POP settings and have received in all unread email, but the read email messages have gone. I am unable to send as the new correct pop account is only offered the incorrect outgoing server ('smtp.mac.com:heremailaddress').
    Having read several post on this forum, I feel the Mail/Address Book issues are connected and that maybe the application(s) database(s) have been corrupted. I've tried the Address Book remedy at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5248351&#5248351 but this does nothing. The 'user'>Library>Mail folder shows the two accounts as two separate folders. The recently recreated account folder has the new unread messages in the 'INBOX.mbox folder, but the older account folder (which now has 'MAC-' added to the front of its name) only has 'info.plist' in a 'INBOX.imapmbox' folder!
    I don't believe any back-ups are available. Can anyone help me restore her old unread mail, and possibly her address book contacts?
    I've also just noticed that SpamSieve does not launch as it should when I launch Mail, even though It was purchased and the scripts installed correctly.

    Didn’t you make a backup prior to the housekeeping?
    I don’t know why would Spotlight find contacts that are gone from Address Book (if that’s what you mean), but as far as Mail goes, under some circumstances (e.g. lack of available disk space, filesystem corruption, repeated crashes), Mail may discard the current ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist preferences file and create a new one. This file is where all the account settings are stored. As a result, all the non-.Mac account settings (but not the messages themselves) are lost. If you had a .Mac account, its settings would appear to have been preserved because Mail would set up that account automatically using the System Preferences > .Mac settings.
    What’s the capacity and space available on the startup disk? Take a look at the comments about disk space in the following article, in case they apply to you:
    Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what’s it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), quit Mail if it’s running, and make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, just in case something else goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. This is where all your mail is stored.
    You have three options now:
    (1) Restore ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist from a backup if you have one. Mail shouldn’t be running while you do this.
    (2) Set up your mail accounts again (you may want to quit Mail and trash the new com.apple.mail.plist first to start over). If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done. You’ll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    (3) Mail may have renamed the old preferences file to com.apple.mail.plist.saved. If that’s the case, you may try trashing the new com.apple.mail.plist and renaming the old com.apple.mail.plist.saved back to com.apple.mail.plist. Again, be sure Mail isn’t running while doing this. Given the circumstances, there exists the possibility that com.apple.mail.plist.saved became corrupt, but that often is not the case and the settings can usually be restored by just renaming the file back to com.apple.mail.plist.
    As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

  • Address Book Names Missing -- Just Phone Numbers

    A friend of mine has an iPhone, but does not have MobileMe. She wanted to sync her contacts (which were on her iPhone) to her Mac's Address Book (which had no contacts).
    After connecting her iPhone to iTunes, she went under the "Info" tab and selected the checkboxes to sync Address Book information. The problem with this was that there were no contacts in her Address Book. So now, her phone no longer shows the names of the people she added -- just their phone numbers!
    Any way to find out these peoples' names?
    Thanks.

    One thing that might help.
    If itunes did a back up of the iphone before the sync.
    First open itunes preferences and go to the devices tab.
    Check the box to disable automatic syncing for all iphones and ipods.
    Now, she can try to right click, or control click, on the name of the iphone under devices in itunes and choose restore from back up.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPhone sync to Address Book - Name vs Company

    If you have a contact in your Address Book (Mac) noted by selecting "Company" versus the default which is the person's name associated with that company, does that entry appear on the iPhone contact list under the company name or the person's name when you perform a sync? No one at Apple Tech was really sure and I want to know before I buy.
    I know you can not select "Company" if you are entering the contact via the iPhone. HOWEVER, I found a 'work around' for that issue. On your iPhone, if you first enter the company name and press "Done" and then select the contact in the contact list and select "Edit", at that point you can enter a persons name and it will continue to show in the contact list under the "Company" name even though you now have a name associated with it. If you enter both "Company" and "Name" at the same time and press Done, it will display only the Name in the contact list.

    My apologies:
    When you add the "Company" name and person's name (on your "Address Book" on your MAC).. there's that lil' box to check that says "Company"..right? Ok..make sure you check that box. Once you sync it will show as the Company name on your contact list. When you select it.. it will show both the Company and person's name at the top. I just tried it and that's how it showed. The icon on the left will show "the buildings" as oppose to a "head" lol. (until you assign it a pic)...

  • Address book entries have vanished

    I needed to move my address book from my Mac Book Pro to my Power Mac G5. Here's what I did:
    1. On Mac Book Pro, I did a "Backup Address Book" to FILE 1
    2. On Power Mac I did a "Backup Address Book" to FILE 2 as a precaution
    3. Then I did a "Revert to Address Book Backup" on the Power Mac G5 and selected FILE 1 (the address book from the Mac Book Pro)
    4. Nothing, no records in the address book.
    5. Tried doing a "Revert to Address Book Backup" on the Power Mac G5 and selected FILE 2 (my backup)
    6. Nothing. I don't have the data from the Mac Book Pro nor the original data from the Power Mac G5
    What can I do? Now I have no address book records from which to do Holiday Cards. Is this the universe saying Bah-Humbug? Is there any way to fix this problem?

    David,
    You should have a copy of one of your address books that works...
    Rather than trying to revert to your previous address book, try this:
    1. Locate a copy or copies of your AddressBook.data
    (the main file for this lives in your Users/'yourname'/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook.data
    2. Try replacing your "AddressBook.data" and then opening up your Address Book. You must quit your Address Book before replacing the AddressBook.data so when you open up the Address Book again, it will read the AddressBook.data that you just put in.
    3. You can keep replacing this AddressBook.data until you get the correct one you are looking for. Make sure it is named, "AddressBook.data".....
    I always try and keep a copy of this AddressBook.data on a separate computer or external hard drive as a backup. You can even burn this on a CD to keep a copy.
    Give that a try and let us know if this worked.

  • Address book names are now sorted by first name.

    After installing Snow Leopard my mail it is now sorted alphabetically by the first name, not the last. How do I change it back?

    I just talked to an Apple Product Specialist about the change in Address Book searching with Snow Leopard. Here is where it stands right now:
    In all previous versions of Address Book, the user could simply type 'T' to instantly go to contacts with last names that start with 'T' (and businesses that start with 'T').
    In Snow Leopard, Address Book can no longer search with one letter the way it did before; it uses a 'Spotlight' type of search where the user must type the full name in order to get an exact match. This type of searching is useful for finding documents on the Mac or searching the Internet, but is totally inefficient for finding contacts in Address Book.
    It sounds like someone at Apple decided this was a better way to search for contacts, because this change in search method is described in the new Address Book 'Help' file; it says, "As you type, Address Book begins to search all the information on the cards, including notes, and displays matching contacts, with the matching text highlighted in each card." For example, let's say someone used to type 'T' to search for a contact named Bill Tilman. Now what happens is that Address Book stops at the first person who's first name starts with 'T', and highlights all the T's in the person's card (the T in 'telephone', the T in 'Street', etc. The user must now scroll through all their contacts manually to find Bill Tilman, or else manually type out the complete name 'Bill Tilman'. (If they just type 'Bill', they will only get the first person named Bill.)
    I hope Apple will reconsider and will allow Address Book to do the quick one-letter searches by last name (as opposed to 'Sort' by last name, which it still has) like it used to. (Or at least make this a choice in Address Book Preferences.) This would also be more compatible with the way iPhone searches for contacts; when you select a letter in the iPhone's contacts, it finds contacts who's last name starts with that letter, as well as businesses, just like Address Book always used to.
