I have a large Address Book (on Mac 10.5) that has 80% of the phone numbers listed as "other".
When I sync the address book with my server, the "other" numbers aren't included.
Is there a way to batch change all "other" labels to "mobile"?

I have successfully used the following AppleScript:
tell application "Address Book"
repeat with thisPerson in every person
try
repeat with thisPhone in every phone of thisPerson
if label of thisPhone = "other" then
set label of thisPhone to "mobile"
end if
end repeat
on error errorMessage
log errorMessage
end try
end repeat
save
end tell
In short, it changes all other
phone numbers to mobile
, which in turn causes the phone number to be synced.
1Hi Vidar. Thank you for Your answer. I did originally find a cumbersome solution of importing everything to Outlook 2011. Here "other" is changed automatically and can then be exported back to address book :-) – ulrikhansen – 2011-01-03T08:25:18.493
