Address Book – Feedback which contacts in which groups

Context: I am looking into my Address Book in Lion. Left groups, right contacts
Action: I select a contact
Idea: Wouldn't it be neat if I would see in which groups this contact resides? Please give me some feedback!

My wife's mac mini suddenly had one 'No Name' card in it, and it was causing problems, after clicking on this card, it showed the 'apple' entry ( the apple company contact details) and every card then showed tha 'apple' entry. Sometimes it would show the contents of whatever card I clicked on next.
I could not delete this card, backing up did nothing. Today I selected all cards and exported them to the home folder. Then deleted the Library/Address Book folder and all contents.
I started up addressbook and imported all the contacts from the exported file, including the 'no name' entry. I deleted the 'no name' card and, so far, everything is fine!
Hope this helps with your problem.

  • From old "Address Book" to new "Contacts" - lost my groups

    I have old 2009 laptop (Snow Leopard) and just bought new 2015 13" macbook pro running Yosemite 10.10.2
    I transferred my Address book over to Contacts but lost my groups.
    Instead it is showing my Yahoo mail folders on the left hand column.
    I use the groups a lot for work and really hope I don't have to recreate all of them.
    Thanks!

    My mistake - my groups are there! They transferred perfectly. Still getting used to my wonderful new machine. Sorry to bother you!

  • Address book - finding a contact's associated group

    Hello!
    Question for the community. I'm going through my address book at the minute. I've got the latest version of Lion and everything's all pretty much up to date.
    When selecting a contact, is there an easy way to see which group I have assigned a particular contact for? All the help I can find are for previous versions of Address Book.
    Thanking you kindly,
    Pete

    Highlight the contact and then hold the Option key down.  The groups it's a member of will highlight.

  • HT2486 Is it possible to notate in each Adress Book Card which Groups it belongs to?

    It would be helpful to know ofr each Address Book entry which Groups they belong to. Does anyone know how to notate on each entry which Groups they belong to?

    idip31 said on http://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/2juazy/can_you_nickname_your_credit_cards _associated/ that "You cannot change the name of the card to a nick name. And you can't change the design, it will be whatever is associated to it by ApplePay/Bank".
    Hopefully a feature like this will be added in a future update of the stock application.

  • I am sending emails to a Smart Group created in my address book.   The contact in my address book has multiple email addresses.  Is there a way for the email to go to both addresses?  (ex:  work and home email address under one contact)

    In my address book, I have contacts that have multiple email addresses.  (ex:  home and work)   I have created a smart group off of the company name in the contact.  When I send emails, I want it to go to both email address listed in the contact.  Is there a way to make this happen?  Or do I have to have a separate contact for each email address?    

    I will agree with you on this one. Version 31 and all the fixes so far are a mess. Since I have been here answering questions for a little more than a year now I have learned to wait to upgrade until all the dust settles. I see no end to the dust storm version 31 has caused. I am still on version 24.6 and plan on staying there for the duration. At least until the developers comes to their senses and put out a working product.

  • Sync Address Book with Google Contacts

    Hi,
    recently I am syncing the Mac Address Book and my iPhone with Google Contacts.
    If I add a birthday to one of my contacts on my iPhone, the birthday also will be added on Google Contacts. If I sync my Mac Address Book with Google Contacts now, the birthday doesn't show up on my Mac Address Book.
    So my birthday calendar in iCal always is empty...
    Any solutions?
    Regards and thanks,

    Hi,
    Google uses Google Sync to synchronize your contacts with your iOS and OS X. But this, from Jan 30, 2013, is only available to the paid versions of Google Apps (read more on http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2716936).
    You can continue to sync on both iOS and OS X using the CardDAV protocol, which, IMHO, is even better.
    Follow the instructions in this post: http://support.google.com/mail/answer/2753077?hl=en
    Mountain Lion Contacts also supports CardDAV accounts. All you need to do is add the CardDAV account with your account credentials and it will synchronize again.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • Synching Address Book with Google Contacts

    I currently use Google Sync to keep Google Contacts and Google Calendar synched to my iPhone and it works perfectly. I want to also sync Google Contacts to my Apple Address book, and while I know where to configure this, I have a question before I turn it on.
    In Address Book preferences if I check the box to sync Address Book with Google contacts is this going to wipe out my Google Contacts? Or will there be an opportunity to select which way I want the sync to occur? I want my Address Book to be the target in all cases and my Google Contacts to be the default master. I do not use Apple Mail, iCal, or Address Book on my Mac...I use Google Apps for everything, but I would like to keep my Mac Address Book as a carbon copy of my Google Contacts.
    Thanks for any help before I start this sync.

    I have had a similar problem. I can't find "contacts cleaner" in versiontracker. Is this an iphone app?

  • Data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts do not match.

    The data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts are different. How can I get my iCloud data to accruately reflect that of my iMac address book? It appears to be an initial synchronization issue. New entries synchronize fine. Appears that initial entries in my Address Book are not showing up in the iCloud Contacts list. Hense, My iPhone coantacts don't match those in my iMac.
    Is there a way to clean out my iCloud contacts on reload/re-sychronize it with my iMac Address Book?

    Nuts isn't it. This seems to have been an issue snce dAY 1.  iT FROSTS ME THAT THERE IS NO SIMPLE QUICK WAY TO UPDATE OR CORRECT the data in both programs simultaneously.. Thats why i decided to just put everytning into the i cloud address brook, and let the one other sit and rot.
    then i got smart and said, why don't I delete the outlookaddress book files. and save on confusion.
    result - both addresses books  and their contents became invisible to outlook.!!!!!! and I can find no way to correct this...to go back to the imperfect world that was.
    I did get the outlook contact s back from an archive - but any thing from icloud has become inaccessible from outlook.  (fortunately i can get the vcard infformation directly from icloud. but I can't access it from outlook mail.... means no replying, forwarding etc - and a time swallowing nuisance..
    aNYONE WILLING TO DUMP SEWAGE ON MICROSOFT AND aPPLE... UNCOOPERATIVE TWITS. -  boh should be smacked.

  • Address Book and Google Contacts...?

    What's the story with syncing Address Book with Google Contacts?
    I set it up once, but since then it has not been able to syncronise changes made to either AB or GC (nb. even after clicking the sync button).
    Is there a trick to maintaining syncronisation???

    Now I'm no longer using the address book application, so answering this question would be pointless.

  • Address Book - Create multiple contacts at one company?

    I am using Address Book v 4.0.4 and I want to be able to create multiple contacts at one company without having to reenter the Company, Tel. and Address information each time.
    Is there a way to duplicate an address, say the basic company address, to make the process of entering multiple people at one company any faster?
    Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks, Michel
    MBP Laptop & G5 Tower   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Address Book v 4.0.4

    I talked to Apple today and here is how you create multiple contacts at one address, company etc. without having to reenter everything.
    1) In Address Book, highlight a contact in the name list
    2) Go to the Edit Menu & COPY
    3) Go back to the Edit Menu & PASTE
    4) Make changes to the new 'duplicated' contact
    Seems easy if you know how to do it.

  • How to force Address Book syncing Google contacts immediately?

    Hi everyone,
    Last time I configured the Address Book as syncing the contacts with my Google account, but there was nothing changed in the Address Book. A couple of days later when I run Address Book again, the contacts in my Google accont was already transferred into the application. I mean I don't know when the synchronization would happen and I don't know how to force it happen immediately.
    I did some changes in my Google account and wish the modification being synced to the Mac asap. I'm desperate to see it happens since the modification was three days ago and the content in Address Book just won't change. I also delete all contacts in my Address Book and re-configure the synchronization but no luck either.
    Wating for the answer. Thanks in advance.

    I believe you can force the sync from isync. put an isync icon in the menu bar and when you want to sync AB choose "sync now" from the isync menu.

  • I synced Address Book with Yahoo Contacts BUT....

    My iPad Address Book and Yahoo Contacts are sorta synced, but how can I make my Apple Address Book look more like my Yahoo Contacts? Address Book displays the contacts by first names and there are LOTs of "no names" even though I deleted the duplicates in Yahoo.

    If you have contacts in both and you have the iphone/itunes set to sync with your Yahoo Address book, then the two sets should be merged.

  • How do I use the address book feature which allows you to connect your contacts to their social networking profiles? (in Lion)

    When I look up the 250+ new features of Mac OSX Lion, under address book, there's a new feature that interests me.
    "Address Book lets you quickly access the social network profiles for your contacts, including Facebook. Press and hold an email address to select the appropriate profile."
    Somehow I can't get it to work. What do I do?

    Make sure it's on the Template (see the entry for Twitter):
    Then update the contact with the relevant info.
    For Twitter you can then click and hold the Twitter tag to either View Profile or Send Tweet.
