    Is it possible to post macOS Contacts / Address Book .png photos?

    With so many OS options (iOS, macOS Mojave day/night), the interface of Contacts changes. Being a graphic designer and photographer, I like keeping consistency. Ideally I would like to post a png portrait of my friends and their background would change based on the UI. However, I've tried on...

    To all of you who use a PowerPC Mac as your daily driver: What apps do you use for your calendar and contacts and why? I use iCal and Address Book because they can sync to my iPods and Address Book works with Mail. I like the UI and features as well. I thought it would be interesting to see...

    What software do you use to edit you address book?

    I like iCloud and how it syncs with your iPhone an other devices. However the Mac Address book is not that easy to use and would prefer an Excel-like table view to edit my contacts, quickly jump between field and quickly copy addresses between different contacts for instance. This used to be...

    iPhone "Default" Ring Tone for People NOT in my Address Book?

    I can't seem to find how to do this and I find it hard to believe something so basic isn't in iOS, but I would like to have a "default ring tone" for anyone who calls who is not in my iPhone's address book. The only "solution" I've seen (not) is to manually assign ring tones to the hundreds of...
