address book imported contains six copies of each address

I imported my address book Outlook Express (Address Book.WAB) to the TB, but now I have six copies of each address in the imported address book. Remove any address book and import doesn't only add another copy of each address. How can I eliminate all additional copies of each address?

No one comes to my help, in spite, I came across a solution on my own. In my TB profile there is a file named impab.mab that I'm going to make a wild guess that means any Address Book.Mozilla address book. If that is correct, I deleted and re-imported successfully then my addresses. Then, I deleted abook.mab and renamed my new impab.mab as abook.mab. Voila! The addresses appear in my personal address book TB. That may help some other poor soul looking for a response.

  • Address book import of csv file gets empty address book

    I have a .csv file from a Windows 'Contacts' window. It contains four hundred entries, each composed of a name and E-mail address. The first line of the file says .csv "name, Email '; the entries are separated by returns and the areas that fall within the comma.

    When I import to intoThunderbird, I say to import an address book from the file and to import only the Email address and display name fields. When the import is executed, it is very fast and no errors are displayed. The new address book is displayed among the Thunderbird address books, but it is empty.

    Thank you
    Joe Nelan

    To import an address book, try the following steps:

    Of the Treasury Board, click "Address book" (or 3-bar menu-> tools-> address book).

    In the list in the left pane address books, click the one you want to import (or use the "personal address book").

    On the menu bar, select Tools-> import. Opens a new window "import."

    Click on "Address books" and "Next"

    Select "Text file", click "Next".

    Near the lower-right corner replace LDIF 'separated by commas.

    Navigate to the folder where your CSV file. Left click on it once. Click on 'open '.

    For CSV, there is no standard for the number or the order of the fields. The screen you see allows you to 'match' your entry with the fields of TB.
    With respect to mapping of the fields, you have two columns: one of your CSV names and one of the CT. What you're trying to get first name, last name first name family name, etc.. If you are lucky, they will be already matched to the top. But if not, you can click on one and move it upwards or downwards in the list until it is opposite the name of the corresponding field. This will get names, email, phone, etc. in the right places. Make sure the fields are checked and the ones you don't want is unchecked.
    Once you have everything set, click OK.

    Note 1: the file name of your CSV file becomes the name of the address book (for example AddrBook.csv will produce an address book named "AddrBook").
    Note 2: when you first watch the imported address book, it can be empty. Click on another (for example, "personal address book"), and then return to that matter.

  • Why the sent folder contains 2 copies of all messages from MacBookPro?

    Why the sent folder contains 2 copies of all messages from MacBookPro?

    Whenever I have send a message to my Mac Book Pro there is a duplicate in the sent folder. This does not happen with messages sent from the iPhone 6s or Outlook Web site. This happens only when I send a Hotmail.ca and not Gmail.com

    signed,

    Irritating confused

    Hey TaylorP56659,

    I understand how to duplicate emails sent may irritate you, no worries however! I can help you to see if we can get this sorted out. So if it happens with your Hotmail account, try to check in Mail preferences, behaviors of the Hotmail account mailbox. It is possible that you have sent items save on the server that will allow the Mail application to have twice. This is because a local copy and the copy on the server downloaded is in the follow-up of the app the steps below to disable the registration of sent items on the server and will not happen. You can also check the Hotmail settings via webmail.

    1. launch the Mail application

    2 select email preferences from the Mail menu bar

    3. click on the tab accounts

    4. highlight your Hotmail account

    5. click on behaviors of the ball

    6. click on "store sent the Server Messages.

    7 close the preferences of Mail and send a test message

    You can see the other Preferences in the mailbox behaviors

    The steps above should stop these form of duplicates to appear in your sent folder in app Mail thank you for using communities of Apple Support

    Have a great day.

    Master Pages are part of each document.

  • three copies of each calendar in the calendars

    Preface: There are several similar questions recently, but none responded, and my situation is a little different.

    Running on a late 2009 iMac 10.11.4.

    I have 4 shared calendars and shared in iCloud and used calendars on multiple devices.  All still look normal if I go on iCloud on the web.  In addition, I am subscribed to four other calendars and there is a family calendar that was added when we did the family share the thing (but this calendar go unused).

    Thinking about another problem, I signed on iCloud completely, in the preferences system and back in.  When I started timing, I had three copies of each calendar.  Enter in information for one of the calendars iCloud double, they are all still appear as iCloud.

    All calendars icloud normally appear on the web and other devices.

    I tried to remove some of the calendars shared double, but if I can do a 'refresh', the duplicates back.

    If I delete one of the subscribed calendars, she and all the duplicates disappear.

    Any ideas on how to get my iMac to think there is only one of each?

    Thanks in advance.

    I would simply note that a workaround is to hide duplicates of each calendar - at least I have only one occurrence of each event. Just fix the symptom, not the problem.

  • installation of iTunes on Windows 10 many double copies of each song

    When I first installed iTunes on my Windows 7 PC I was told to adjust the following parameters to make sure that all the music files added to the iTunes Library is copied to the folder of my iTunes on the PC

    iTunes > edit > Preferences > tab advanced and then check keep iTunes Media folder organized and copy files to the Media folder when adding to the iTunes library have been selected.

    And that if they were not already selected, select these options, then go to

    iTunes > > file > library > organize library > select consolidate files > OK

    So far so good, it worked a treat on Windows 7

    I got my years re-built PC for facing the windows of 10, which was all the same a Windows 7 upgrade, but a clean virtual install as all programs had to be reinstalled. I had backed up my music and copied this back on the PC before installing iTunes v 12.3.2.35 (64-bit) and proceed as follows, but to my dismay, I discovered that there were 2 or sometimes even 4 copies of each song that took a while to sort manually

    What had I done wrong?

    And what should I do to install iTunes properly with one copy of each song, and to ensure that all files added to the iTunes Music Library is copied to the folder of my iTunes on the new PC?

    It will be more useful to know the correct procedure, so I don't make the same mistake again.

    You must have saved the folder iTunes as a working library, then restored it. No need to add multimedia elements as it would all have been in the library. The approach I recommend is given here: backup your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library.

    I saw you asking about duplicates before you set about cleaning them I would have offered this: Re: removing duplicate songs he removes ALL the same songs who has saved you some time and effort.

  • When I tried to save copies of some e-mails on a disc, multiple copies of each email appeared on my desk

    original title: dozens and dozens of copies on my desk!

    When I tried to save copies of some e-mails on a disc, multiple copies of each email appeared on my desktop running Windows XP.  When I try to delete them, more appear.  Similarly when I drag and drop into the trash.  In addition, there are more icons that I can see on the edge of the screen that I can't even.  All these icons are concealing my common icons on the desktop.  What is happening and how to fix this?

    You reply to the message of the month:

    What you were doing was to occupy the office with the files.  Right-click on the Start button and select Explorer.  Then in Explorer navigate to the office on the left in the list of folders.  Then to the right, go to view | Details and you should see then the entire list of files on the desktop and you can prune from there.

    The file exists and contains all my addresses and they have also highlighted when I start typing a name in the To: field. How can I make the vissible addresses in my address book window again?

    OK, the part of the directory is empty. First of all, start in safe mode (hold SHIFT when you start TB) and see if the pane looks correct. If this is the case, delete localstore.rdf (see below).

    If it's still empty, open a window of writing (new message), press F9 and see if the Contacts sidebar displays your contacts. If this is the case, delete the files in the profile folder. they will be automatically recreated when you restart TB: directoryTree.json, foldertree.json and session.json. See the paragraph to the bottom of this article, starting by «If deleting localstore.rdf does not help...» ».

  • Import the external drive, indicates each clip

    When I import media in FCPX from an SD card, I am able to select the appropriate folder that contains my support.

    After a meeting, the first thing I do is to empty the gross support on an external drive.  If I try to import media for this drive, every single clip on the entire disk, no matter which folder it is located, appear in the import window.  I can't simply navigate to the folder that interests me.  Is there a setting I'm missing?  Any help would be appreciated.

    Put the contents of the card in files rather than the level of the root of the drive. If the application considers DCIM and AVCHD, it assumes that it is watching a disc of the camera and show all available media.
