Auto fill in Windows Contacts... Please! ___

When I compose mail in Windows mail, my addresses not auto filling and I always have to click on 'To' and search through my address myself. Much too long! I already have the box "automatically complete addresses" checked and the problem persists.  It seems that a few names (not all), that I used recently do automatically, but most of the contacts are not auto filling.  I use Vista. I have seen this exact question posted here on 04-05-09, but he did not. Thank you!

This is becase Windows Mail only remembers the last 29 contacts. Ashish G (MSFT) the posts here workaround.

  • Auto Fill contact and map

    When I bought my Mac I added my personal details as my card for an auto-fill.  Some how my card spent at my sisters name and information. I followed the steps to activate it using my information as my card for an auto-fill, but when I click on "Go to My Card", my sisters card shows always also my card to autofill.  Any ideas on what to do next?

    Please, back up all data. Export the map to your brother by dragging to the desktop to create a vCard file. Remove the card Contacts and try again define your own card than yours. Success? Restore the deleted map by double-clicking on the file that you created. After you import the map, you can remove the vCard file.

  • Want to auto fill a context menu

    Hello! I'm looking for a way to auto fill a context menu with the data of a column on a separate sheet. On sheet 1, I have a bunch of product names in column A (with their prices and taxes from columns B.). On the sheet 2, column A, I would choose the products required for this project in a context menu (drop-down) which includes all items on sheet 1, column A.

    I have a lot of products listed in sheet 1, column A, so it is not practical for each context menu manually. I also need to add more products to sheet 1, column a quite regularly, so need it to update automatically. I can't for the life of understand me. Any help would be much appreciated.

    I'm using 3.6.2 for Mac numbers.

    Hi Liz,

    We do not have the feature of auto filling of the popups at this time. In other words, we don't have popups that will update when a column is revised.

    It may be that you work hard for you to complete your pop-up windows. If you have a column of items, select and change the format of "popup" each of these cells is a popup with all values in your column. You can copy and paste them to your other journal and he use it.

    A while back I developed an applescript script to automate this process, but it is still a process that must be run-it introduces himself. Let me know if you are interested and I'll see if I can dig it up.

  • How can I prevent the Thunderbird auto fill email addresses that I deleted?

    Thunderbird fun to auto fill email address that I deleted. How can I stop this?

    If they were not in one of these 2 books that Thunderbird could not provide them as a suggestion.
    Sometimes contacts added to a book without all the info and does not seem to appear. You can find them by starting an email and it was addressing the problem email address. Save the email in drafts.
    Now go to the drafts folder and select the message by clicking it once.
    Make sure that the message pane is enabled in the drafts folder. F8 activates / deactivates the message on and outside pane.
    In the message header at the top of the message pane the info From that will be you and the info that will be the address of problem will be displayed. To the right of the addresses is a star. If the star is filled with the color, the address is in one of your address books. Click on the star and open an edit dialog box. This box will tell you which book is the contact, but more importantly, is there a delete button when you remove it.

  • Yahoo mail address auto-fill lists everyone already included in every email I ever sent/received

    At least that's what it looks like...

    FF (29.0.1)

    Re Yahoo mail: when entering a container for an email, the auto-fill drop down shows possible is well beyond my contacts. It includes everyone that I have never sent/REC/WAV and all addresses that have been also cc would be in these emails.

    What I read on the Yahoo boards that suggestions are generated from the data browser stored (IE. It's a browser problem is not a problem with Yahoo Mail). I have FF options to delete the history (disabled/offlinedata browse/download/cache/forms/search/cookies/connections/people) each FF closes.

    I am able to delete unwanted suggestions one at a time, but as a practical approach that goes beyond ridicule.

    FF maintains a master list of addresses of the party? If so, how can I delete everyone except my existing contacts?

    Thank you!

    Firefox does not save addresses except that form data; the data that you entered previously in Firefox.

  • The drop-down menus, context menus and menu for Auto-filling items are not displayed!

    I FF4 beta, it started from FF4 beta 7. I'm working on Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.

    The problem is that I can't see drop-down menus unless they have many elements, or context menus (such as highlighting a text then right click on it), auto fill bars no longer view AutoFill info is entered before... the menu itself appears a bit. but it is transparent and I can not display the items, do not know where to click to select the thing I want.

    I don't have this problem before 4.0b7... after I got it, I thought it was one of the plugins, so I disabled them all but still have the problem!

    A picture describing the problem encountered is taken here, now on this page, I've highlighted a text and right click on it: here you can see the menu appears somehow, surrounded by the red border, but I'm not!

    Under navigation try disabling use hardware acceleration when available. It shouldn't affect the context menus like this, but who knows with NVIDIA cards.

  • How to stop itunes from Auto-filling of music on my ipod touch

    How can I prevent itunes AutoFill music on my ipod touch unwanted 5 without having to delete songs or hide the songs (the ones I bought from the iTunes Store) my library on itunes (Windows)? I think that the songs that continue to if autofilled on my ipod are the ones I bought in the store. I didn't hide them in my library, I want to hear them more later to see if I want to add later, but I got fed up and did exactly that.  I will not hide from my library is because I want to be able to see without having to connect to my apple account in the itunes store, to see what songs I bought but have 'hidden' from my library or deleted the download of the.

    I have no music sync checked, however, whenever I plug my ipod into my computer, music always synchronizes on my ipod.  I don't have the option to automatically download the songs I purchased on iTunes store checked.  I usually manually delete each of the songs, but I'm tired of having to do so.

    I just tried to erase my ipod first of music, including those I wanted to keep, but I came across the problem where they would not disappear, even after reset everything on my ipod touch. I had to manually delete all (before doing so, I did what I do always when running in auto-fill issue - delete music in data storage settings manage, which works normally, but this time he did not).

    I'm really starting to hate Itunes because of this auto-fill problem.

    I'm on Windows and iTunes 11, for what it's worth, but I think it should work even if you have a slightly different version.

    Before you plug in your iPod, go to the menu small case in the upper left corner of iTunes (or if you have the menu bar visible, click on change). Select Preferences, go to devices in the pop-up window, and check the box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads of automatic synchronization. Click on low OK.at of the pop-up window.

    This should solve the problem. Worked for me anyway (I am like you and prefer to manually manage all my stuff).

  • automatic filling of the contacts in the mail are stored where?

    I'm running on my iMac and could always Yosemite 'manage' my e-mail contacts.

    I was happy enough to just start typing its name or your e-mail address and their name appears (along with other similar names), and that's worked pretty well for me. Is not ideal, but I did not had the time to add them manually to the app "AddressBook."

    I KNOW my mac has those who are stored somewhere, but when I try to find them in the address book sad, well, nothing appears.

    How can I find the file or the library that contains all these e-mail addresses that it stores and uses to auto-fill?

    Thank you

    PS the reason I want the file's to use in an another e-mail client (post office box) or a third-party address book. I'm done with mac Mail and address book!

  • Software "Windows Contacts" does not exist in my Vista

    I finally decided to try Windows Contacts (formerly address book) in Vista. But the software does not exist among my many Windows program files. It is possible that I deleted the software somehow. I tried to find a way to download just this Microsoft software, but don't find any option to do. Any ideas? Thank you 1 million.

    Hi debussymuir,

    Windows contact is not software, so there is no option to download. Windows contact is a contact manager that is implemented in a special folder in Windows Vista. It's in the Start Menu of Windows Vista.

    Windows in Windows XP address book has been replaced by the Windows touch in Windows Vista. Windows contacts has all the features of the old Windows address book, as well as some new features, such as the ability to add pictures to your contacts.

    To access the Windows Contacts:

    Open Windows Contacts by clicking Start , allprograms, and then clicking Windows Contacts.

    For Windows Mail, open a new message window and right click on the toolbar. Customize and Add button.
