Brilliant Severin.
Sounds like a logical sequence.

Stephen that may be it.   When I turn off sharing with cloud the duplicates 
vanish but I can not see where other set comes from.

Hi Severin.
This may not be your case, but my iPhone did that recently after an update.
It turned out that it was listing “from my Mac” and “from iCloud”.

Address book anomaly

[Severin Crisp]

On our phone, iPads and desktops I have 5 Contacts (Address) Books all shared 
and working fine.   Recently, by some unknown circumstance all the cards on the 
book in my MacAir are duplicated identically.  Card/Look for Duplicates insists 
that there are no duplicates.   I would like to fully clear out the entries and 
let it reshare but of course High Sierra security makes this difficult.  
Suggestions please.

Re: Address Book/Contacts mayhem

[Peter Crisp]

Hi Ronni, thanks for this tip, I had 71 duplicates in the first pass before I 
did the Merge using the MBP. Following this I had a quick scan of the Contacts 
on my iPhone and noticed a duplicate there. I went back to the MBP and searched 
for that name and only there once. The name happens to be my boss (not the wife 
one but the other one at my work!!). I waited a while to see if it would 
resolve and still the duplication remains there after 10 minutes on the iPhone. 
My work uses Exchange server and the credentials in the work contact contains 
all the work related credentials for my boss, pager number, program details 
etc. On my iPhone I have in Settings>Contacts>Default Account set as iCloud and 
has been like that for ages though at some time in the past I think it was set 
as “XXX” - my work Contacts account. Is this just a time delay before the merge 
will truly merge across all linked devices or will this duplication remain 
forever - unless I do something else?

I re-ran the Look for duplicates process a second time and 5 were found. A 
third time and none found.

Regards

Pete.

Re: Address Book/Contacts mayhem

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Severin,

Using you Mac is the most efficient approach and there’s a handy tool built-in 
with macOS. 
NB: Don’t forget to make sure you’ve got a copy of your contacts backed up 
somewhere before making changes.

1.  Start by launching the Contacts application. 
2. Make sure All Contacts is selected in the top left corner of the window 
(this will include local and cloud stored contact cards).

3. In the menu bar click on Card → Look for Duplicates…

4. Next, a pop up window will let you know how many duplicates will be merged 
if there is different information on cards that share the same name and also if 
some duplicates will just be removed (this is automatic and in this example all 
the duplicates are being cleaned up by merging).

5. Click Merge and you’re done!


Cheers,
Ronni

Address Book/Contacts mayhem

[Severin Crisp]

I have 3 iOS devices and  2 OSX (High Sierra) desktops and all share the 
address book.   Following some recent family messaging mixups due to sharing 
information on single cards rather than having separate cards  (this is 
historical) I set about a clean up doing my operations on one or other of the 
two OSX machines.  This has proceeded fine apart from the fact that on my 
MacAir I now have four copies of each card.   I have not a clue why!  The 
“master” information held in the cloud  is fine.   I suspect the way is to 
reinstall OSX, maybe from the Recovery sector.  
All advice welcome

Re: Continual Console Log Entries re Address Book

[Alan Smith]

Any suggestions for clearing this ongoing problem?

More information found:   The associated plist has a setting for a 3600 second 
call.  As the call is happening every 30 seconds, something is wrong.  There is 
probably a Scheduler somewhere that has stored corrupt data for the call time.  
A hidden file?  The found plist filename is: System/Library/Launch Agents/ 
com.apple.AddressBook.SourceSync.plist.

More observations, but may not be relevant:  The Console log entries continued 
regularly after trashing all ~/Library/Caches, and also continued when computer 
was disconnected from the network.

Most Apple Community requests for help re "AddressBookSourceSync" refer to 
system memory avalanche problems while connected to iCloud.  I am normally  
“permanently” signed out of iCloud, but even when signed in I did not notice 
any significant CPU usage.

Cheers

Continual Console Log Entries re Address Book

[Alan Smith]

The iMac Console Diagnostic and Usage Messages log is recording the same pair 
of entries every 30 seconds.  I would expect that an entry at hourly or longer 
intervals would be normal.  How can I fix this?

The first message (preceded by date and time) is:-
   AddressBookSourceSync: com.apple.message.domain: 
com.apple.AddressBook.accounts.providers
and the second is:-
   AddressBookSourceSync: com.apple.message.domain: 
com.apple.AddressBook.accounts.summary

Both entries have several lines of detail exposed with the flippy triangle.   
The “provider” details include:-
   com.apple.message.signature: com.apple.google.iaplugin

Hi Bill,

Sounds like you might not have setup iCloud correctly on your Mac and iPhone.
Is Calendar syncing correctly on your Mac & iPhone?

In Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your Contacts, Calendars, and other info are 
updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. 
Only Contacts in iCloud will sync.  Contacts which are local to your computer 
do NOT sync.

* Only Calendars and Contacts in iCloud groups will sync.

I posted this information to WAMUG just before Mavericks was released:
/Quote:
Just a very quick message to people who might rush in an upgrade without first 
doing the preparations and backups which include a bootable backup & checking 
that all your applications are compatible with Mavericks.

Note: If you use an iTunes sync to transfer contacts, calendars, or notes to an 
iOS device or if you rely on older third-party software for syncing data like 
contacts or calendars,...
Mavericks no longer includes Sync Services.
“Most users won’t even notice it’s gone, but it will affect people who still 
use older versions of apps that rely on this mechanism to sync data with iOS 
devices”

“The loss of Sync Services also means that you can no longer use iTunes (via 
Wi-Fi or USB) to sync calendars, contacts, and notes between your Mac and iOS 
devices. You must instead use a server-based system of some sort on both your 
Mac and iOS devices, which could be (among other options) iCloud, Google, an 
Exchange server”

“You can still sync media, apps, and documents with iOS devices via iTunes, by 
the way—this change affects only calendars, contacts, and notes.”

For more information, see "OS X Mavericks: Keep content current on all your 
devices with iCloud" <http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14354>


Bill, If you wish to have a copy of my two Tutorials: "Setup iCloud on a Mac 
and iOS Devices.pdf" and "Calendar & Contacts Not Syncing to iCloud.pdf"email 
me offlist and I will post to you. If you find my Tutorials helpful a donation 
is very much appreciated.

Bill, If you are sure you do have iCloud setup correctly on your Mac & 
iDevices, post back.

Cheers,
Ronni

Address Book gone

[Bill Parker]

Looks like the upgrade to Mavericks has destroyed my Address Book ( where 100’s 
of emails were stored).  Looks like it got replaced with a collection from my 
iPhone, most of which have no emails.  Is the original file recoverable?

Re: Address Book in Mountain Lion Mail ?

[Ronni Brown]

Ah ok Stephen,

I think what you are meaning to find is Address Panel.

Mail relies on the system-wide Contacts app to store frequently used email 
addresses. If you haven’t already filled in Contacts with your most frequently 
used email addresses, consider doing so—it will make your life a lot easier.

In Mail, you can address your email 'manually', using the Address Panel (which 
provides a little portal to Contacts), or using 'Automatic Address Completion'.

A) Automatic Address Completion:

If you type the first few letters of a person’s first or last name or email 
address, or a group’s name, in the desired field (To, Cc, or Bcc), Mail 
automatically displays all matching entries from Contacts, your Previous 
Recipients list, any Exchange server to which you’re connected, and any defined 
LDAP servers. Then you can use the Up and Down arrow keys to select the one you 
want, press Return, and you’re done.

Automatic address completion is on by default, and when it works
well, it is certainly an easy way to address messages; however before you 
decide to use it unthinkingly Address Panel

B) Address Panel:
Another way to address an email message is to find the desired address(es) in 
the Address Panel. Here’s how:

1. Working in an outgoing message, if the Address panel isn’t already open, 
open it by choosing Window > Address Panel.

2. If you can’t easily find the email address or group you want, search by name 
or address using the handy Search field at the upper right.

3. Once you locate the address or group, select it (or Command-click to select 
multiple addresses).

4. To address your message, either click the To, Cc, or Bcc button or drag the 
selected items to an address field in the message window.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Address Book in Mountain Lion Mail ?

[Stephen Chape]

Sorry Ronda - I must have been a bit vague.
Had day surgery today and I am a little sore.

When in Mail in SL I was able to select contacts by clicking a button.
This opened the Contacts list.
Then simply double click each address I wished to send to.
As I did so each was placed into the TO box.

I cannot see this facility in ML.
So I do not have a prompt to help me place addresses in the TO box.

Re: Address Book in Mountain Lion Mail ?

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Stephen,

Not sure exactly what you mean or are trying to do. If you are trying to send 
an email from a contact in your Contact.app:

1. Open Contact.app 
2. Select the Contact you want
3. Click on the work, or home, or email button - to the left of the email 
address you wish to use
You will then see these options: 
"Send Email, FaceTime, Send Message, Send My Card, Search with Spotlight".
4 Select 'Send Email' if that is what you are wanting to do, Mail application 
will immediately open with the address of the contact in To:

If this is not what you are meaning post back with more detail.

Cheers,
Ronni

Address Book in Mountain Lion Mail ?

[Stephen Chape]

Hi folks,

In Snow Leopard I could choose the addresses to send to from Address Book.
Now I have ML I don't seem to have that option and I cannot find how to add it.
Is it not available or am I suffering fem temporary blindness ?

Re: Address Book

[Tim Law]

You sync it via iCloud.

On iPhone iPad, go to settings, iCloud, and slide to ON, all the apps you want 
to sync. Similar actions will be required on your desktop machines, and I'll 
that little exercise for you to do, I'm on my iPad watching morning TV

Hi David,

What OS X are you running?

To transfer Address Book data across.
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
 
If you have any Address Book Plugins 
/Home/Library/Address Book Plug-Ins (copy the whole folder)

Place the folders in the same location in your Wife's Home Account.

Re: Direct dial/Address book

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Stuart,

Are you meaning on your iPhone or computer?
On your iPhone you have always been able to tap the phone number of a contact 
in Contacts (Address Book) and phone?
On the iPhone 4S, you can also ask Siri  to phone anyone in your Contacts.

I don’t know how I ever did without Siri, she is a wonderful Personal Assistant.

Re: Copy Snow Leopard Address Book contacts

[cm]

Hi Stuart,

Yes you can. Just make a full copy of the address card and then modify any 
field you choose or leave any field as it is. To make a copy select the card 
and use menu item Edit => Copy, or press Command-C. Then immediately select 
Menu => Paste or press Command V. You will then have two version of the same 
card. Pick one version and modify it as desired.

Cheers,
Carlo

Don't forget that if you have a copy of Bento, all you need to do is  
access the Address Book library which is part of the native setup of  
Bento. This is an exact duplicate of your Address Book file, and  
Bento can export it to .csv with ease.

Hi Justin,

In AddressBook2CSV Exporter, if you click on the minus ( - ) sign  
beside "Export",
you can then select what you wish see in the export i.e. email,  
phones, title, addresses.

But yes, I do agree it doesn't do as good a job as others.

Looking in my Applications folder, I actually found that I had a  
paid copy of "Export Address Book.app, that I must have used ages  
ago.
Gave it another try and was quite pleased with the result, but  
I'll give your suggestion of 'Address Book Exporter' a try (when I  
next find time) ;-)


Below are details of 'Export Address Book' which I have used before.
Export Address Book 1.5.3

<http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/productivity_tools/exportaddressbook.html 
>


About Export Address Book:
Can export all the data in your Address Book into a data file. It  
even recognizes fields with self-defined labels. You can choose  
between various export formats, like TSV, CSV, HTML table and  
adapted vCard (in Address Book, you cannot specify which fields to  
export when you create a vCard - in Export Address Book, you can).


You are able to select which contacts to export, which fields from  
those contacts and how to order them. For later reuse, you can  
save all of that as a template. In Address Book, you can assign  
self-defined labels to various fields. Export Address Book can  
recognize and export fields with self-defined labels. With the  
built-in Automator action, you can automate exports.

With a cut down set of fields (just the ones needed) it was

Ronni, I tried the AddressBook2CSV Exporter, but the CSV was  
unusable.

The multi line fields threw it right off.

Hi Glenn & Justin,

Justin, I'm not sure if you meant this application. I've used it a few times, 
works well. Exports to .csv, then I click on the .csv file, Numbers opens and 
there is my contacts all in a Spreadsheet. Works in Snow Leopard also.

Thank you so much Ronni.

I had missed a step within Print; mainly I print photos or letters, even labels 
- but had no awareness of  Style, nor therefore "Lists"!

All printing away cheerfully now.

Have a great day (my poor puppies have never had to walk so fast as we just 
did) - but they are happy now.  As am I.

Re: Address Book

[Eugene]

You can just select the cards and drag them to your desktop. It will make a single VCard which can be mailed or placed on a thumb-drive and then dragged into Address-book. I would actually create a separate group for the wife's friends first and drag the vCard onto that group.

Re: Restoring lost Address Book Contacts data from Time Machine

[Tim Law]

Thanks Alex,

That's very clever.

Unfortunately the only data that is showing is from end December 2009.  
My Entourage data is more recent, so I'll use that, but why would the  
Address Book data not be current?  That seems odd to me.

Re: Address Book snowed (The fix)

[Daniel Kerr]

Hi Paul

Glad you got the AddressBook working, which was the same way Ronni had
suggested as well.

I would also agree that anyone doing a Snow Leopard update would backup
their data. 
I would also go further and suggest people ensure that they've checked
compatibility of their apps they are using. And if aware of any "third
party" "cool" "helpful" apps that are installed. As it's normally these
weird and wonderful things that can often make the installation process go
astray.
If you're running a "clean" system and follow all the steps then I've found
everything goes well with no problems. The problems arise when there are
lots of "other" things installed.

But yes, if you follow the steps and do some of the research/tidy up before
hand the Snow Leopard install goes well.
There are some quite nice things inside it, especially start up and shut
down times...as well as a lot more.


Just my 2cents worth. :)

Kind Regards
Daniel

Hi Paul,

This is why we are always advising people on WAMUG list to "BACKUP"  
before doing a system upgrade.
Back on 25th August I sent a post to WAMUG with suggestions How to  
Prepare for installing Snow Leopard   "Make sure that before doing  
the Upgrade you do a BACKUP!"


We can't do more than suggest people "Back Up", if people don't take  
our advise .?

Was this "Other" account "Your Account"? Otherwise it would be

What was the error you received when you tried to replace the  
"Application Support/AddressBook folder"?


My original instructions were for "Your" Address Book backup folder to  
be copied to the same location in your new home folder, replacing the  
AddressBook folder there.

Another suggestion you could try is:

1. Select all your contacts (from the Address Book that is functioning  
correctly) and drag them to the desktop.

   This will make one big vCard with all your contacts on the desktop.

2. Move it to your Account and drop it on the address book there.

If you can’t import because of permissions errors.
In the Finder, select the vCard file you’re trying to import and  
choose File > Get Info.
In the Sharing & Permissions section, choose Read & Write from the  
Privilege pop-up menu


 I see there is a file named Configuration.plist.  Should I try  
deleting that?


No.

Re: Address Book snowed

[Alexander Hartner]

Depending on how many contacts you have in the backup it may take some
time. What I suggest is you close Address Book, reboot the Mac and then
restore again. Don't open Address Book before restoring, just click on the
backup file. Then go for a cup of coffee or something. When you get back
your contacts should be there. If nothing happens after like 10-15 mins
then try more drastic measures.

Hi Paul,

You say you have a backup of your previous AddressBook folder.

1.Locate in Home > Library > Application Support > AddressBook folder  
in your previous home folder.
2.Copy that folder to the same location in your new home folder,  
replacing the AddressBook folder there.

3.Open Address Book.

See if your Address Book works then and has all your contacts.

Addresses can come from either of 2 places

Under the Window drop down menu find   Previous Recipients

and I think once you find one to delet , click once on it and hit
the Delete key

In Address Book  Click once on the name adn " Delete

Re: Mail Address book

Hey Ken,

Are you in the Address Book Application? It should be in your Dock, if  
not look Applications.


In Mail you only have "Previous Recipients" that you can click on &  
"Add to Address Book" which then opens up Address Book application.


Cheers,
Ronni

If it was as simple as u folks r describing it wouldn't be a problem.
There is also no + or - button to add groups with.

I dunno

You can only 'remove' from the list' in the Previous Recipients &  
when u select from Address book u can't delete.



Any other ideas ?

Addresses can come from either of 2 places

Under the Window drop down menu find   Previous Recipients

and I think once you find one to delet , click once on it and hit  
the Delete key


In Address Book  Click once on the name adn " Delete

Re: Mail Address book

[Ronda Brown]

Hello Brett,

You can create "Smart Groups" in Address Book Application.
To create a Smart Group:
1.Choose File > New Smart Group.

2.Enter a name for the group, and then specify search criteria.
Use the pop-up menus and entry field to set the criteria. Click the  
Add (+) button to specify additional criteria.


3.Select “Highlight group when updated” if you want Address Book to  
highlight a Smart Group’s name whenever it automatically adds or  
removes a contact.


4.Click OK.

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: Mail Address book

Thanks Ronni but it deletes the email file last selected & NOT the  
address book file.
You'd think with an archive install it would have reverted to the  
original/default setting but something is amiss here!?

If it was as simple as u folks r describing it wouldn't be a problem.
There is also no + or - button to add groups with.

I dunno

Thanks again,

Hi John,

Your Address Book > Preferences > General Window is NOT the same as  
mine, it is not showing the "Show first name: Before last name"
Your Window only shows partly "following last name" there should be  
above that "Show first name: Before last name"
I will attach both your Window & Mine in an email to you so you can  
see the difference.


I notice also that it is back before the change from .Mac to MobileMe.
There is a yellow exclamation mark with a message "No me card is set.  
Locate it and choose Card > Make This My Card.
Address Book automatically creates an address card for you using  
information you supplied when you first set up your computer.

And you "Choose Card > Make This My Card"
To see your card, Choose Card > "Go to My Card"
Do you have a "My Card"?

I also think you are using a older version of Address Book.
Version 4.1.2 (700) is the current version for Leopard.

Ronni

Hi John,

Ok, if you are not having any other problems in Leopard, you could  
just reinstall the Address Book Application.
You will lose all the names you have in Address Book unless you want  
to Export All your cards out as vcards & then Import them in when  
you have the new Address Book installed.


You need your Leopard Installation Disc.

1. Delete Address Book Application from the Applications folder.
2. Insert your Leopard Installation disk into the computer.
3. The disk will appear on your desktop.
4. Double click on the "Optional Installs" folder.
5. Double click on the "Optional Installs.mpkg."
6. Click on (Continue) in Introduction.
7. Click on (Continue) in Software License Agreement.
8. Click on (Agree) to agree to the terms of the software license  
agreement.

9. Click on the disclosure arrow ▶ next to Applications.
10.. Select (✓) Address Book
11. Click (Continue).
12.. After Address Book has been reinstalled, download and run the  
10.5.7 Combo Update <http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_7_Combo_Update 
>

to bring your system back up to date.

Am I correct in understanding that in your Address Book

at the top of the Preferences Window does not show?
You do not see the toolbar at the top with "General",  
"Template","Phone" etc icons?


If this is the case try: Quit Address Book.app & Move   ~/

If that fixes your problem you can then trash the plist file

Re: address book

[Ronda Brown]

Hi John,

Ok, if you are not having any other problems in Leopard, you could  
just reinstall the Address Book Application.
You will lose all the names you have in Address Book unless you want  
to Export All your cards out as vcards & then Import them in when you  
have the new Address Book installed.


You need your Leopard Installation Disc.

1. Delete Address Book Application from the Applications folder.
2. Insert your Leopard Installation disk into the computer.
3. The disk will appear on your desktop.
4. Double click on the "Optional Installs" folder.
5. Double click on the "Optional Installs.mpkg."
6. Click on (Continue) in Introduction.
7. Click on (Continue) in Software License Agreement.
8. Click on (Agree) to agree to the terms of the software license  
agreement.

9. Click on the disclosure arrow ▶ next to Applications.
10.. Select (✓) Address Book
11. Click (Continue).
12.. After Address Book has been reinstalled, download and run the  
10.5.7 Combo Update <http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_7_Combo_Update 
>

to bring your system back up to date.

Let's know how you get on please.

Cheers,
Ronni

I think you are right. There is no Address Book in the Library

Did you look in your Home /Library/Preferences/ 
com.apple.AddressBook.plist  NOT your HD/Library?



Maybe reinstall part of Leopard again?


Are you having any other problems, or is this the only problem you  
are experiencing in Leopard?

Hi John,

This is strange, I haven't heard of this happening.
Have you tried the Quit Address Book App & moving the  ~/Library/

Then restart your Mac, then Open Apple Book.app?

The only thing I can think of is a corrupted preference file.
Try above and see if that makes a difference.

Am I correct in understanding that in your Address Book

You do not see the toolbar at the top with "General",

If this is the case try: Quit Address Book.app & Move   ~/

"Following last name" immediately beneath the toolbar and then  
"Sort by", "Address format" etc beneath. It seems that there  
should be something more above "Following last name".. How can  
I reveal the rest of the window?

Re: address book

[Ronda Brown]

Hi John,

Are you using Address Book.app version 4.1.2 in Leopard?

If you are using a previous version of Address Book.app in Tiger, I  
don't think it had "Show first name: Before last name"
I can't really remember but it could have just had "Show first name:  
Following last name" ...


Your Window shows everything the same as mine, except for the "Show  
first name: Before last name"?


Cheers,
Ronni

You do not see the toolbar at the top with "General",  
"Template","Phone" etc icons?


If this is the case try: Quit Address Book.app & Move   ~/Library/ 
Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist

to another location (desktop) and then restart Address Book.app.

If that fixes your problem you can then trash the plist file on

Re: address book

[Adrian Skehan]

Hi Bill,

When I had this problem I finally found that from time to time I had  
switched entering the names from First name first to last with the  
result that when I sorted them they were all over the place and re  
sorting then Last name first just reversed the probble.  To fix this I  
had to reverse the individual names so they were all the same entry  
set up.

Adrian

'first name before last'.

From Mail, I just added your address to my address book by right

Hi Susan,


Using 10.5.6

I have managed to cull a lot of unwanted email addresses by using
"Previous reciepients" under WINDOW in Mail. Then added the wanteds  
to Address Book.


However, sorting the address book doesn't do what you  
say.   its AddressBook.appVer 4.1.  It makes no  
diff. whether I check first or last, there's no sorting happening  
either way.

Re: Synching Thunderbird address book to iPhone?

Hi Rob,

For a one way sync, this is a fairly simple manual method:

1. Export thunderbird address book as an LDIF
2. Import the LDIF into the Apple Address Book.
3. Plug in the iphone to sync as normal.

I found this which might help you:

Re: Address Book problem

[Rob Davies]

Morning,

Sounds like printer driver is running out of real estate, so have you  
tried other printers on said machine. Resetting labels info through  
layout button, correct page size (A4 or US Letter) or labels selected  
in drop down box is correct, with relative page size which then  
corresponds with printer actual page size it is attempting to print on.


Does it show country in preview window as I found it prints only what  
it previews, this is a direct relation to your printer and relative  
software.


I had trouble replicating issue on three different printers in my  
environment, but not ticking print country box for each print run was  
basically it.


Cheers!

In Address Book, the country code can be changed by clicking on the

I have noticed that each time I print an envelope I need to check

It doesn't hold the tick from previous print of envelope.

Re: Address Book problem

Hi folks,

I have been using Address Book to print mailing labels for Christmas  
cards for a couple of years.
However I do not seem to be able to get the COUNTRY to print on the  
labels.
There is a point in the print setup where you can check a box to  
PRINT COUNTRY

and then a further box to check EXCEPT MY COUNTRY.

However when I do this the counrty still will not print.
This means I spend time every year writing the country below the  
address on all my

overseas envelopes.


Hi Stephen,

I'm using Address Book v4.1.1 in Leopard OS X 10.5.5 and my Address  
Book printed envelopes include Australia.


In Address Book, the country code can be changed by clicking on the  
address label (home, work, etc.) while in edit mode, and selecting  
"Change Address Format..."


I have noticed that each time I print an envelope I need to check the  
box again for "Print Country" in my printer setup dialogue box.

It doesn't hold the tick from previous print of envelope.
I'm using an Epson TX700W MF Printer.

Cheers,
Ronni
