Address Book Groups - Distribution List problems

Recently upgraded to 10.6 and now on 10.6.3 - 2 Problems which are probably related:
1 - I cannot save changes to an edited Distribution List- I select the desired email address (ie it's in bold) and then click OK. When I go back to edit the list the changes have not been saved and it seems to randomly make changes to the selections.
2 - I have a (Smart) Group in Address Book and when I use that group in Mail the wrong email is selected for some of the members of the group - ie the emails used by Mail does not always match the selections in the Distribution List
Used to work fine in 10.5

Oh no!
until now I though, it was my fault, but it seems to be a bug. I have the same problem with the distribution list. In my system, the mails are allways sent to the upper emailadress, even if the lower adress is highlighted.
Did anybody file allready a bug-report to apple?
Regards
Robert

  • Address Book "Edit Distribution List" not working in Lion 10.7.2

    I have been told by people in my "Groups" that I am sending to the wrong e-mail addresses.  I checked and sure enough so I went to edit the distribution list for that group and it's greyed out. It worked prior to this update. My wifes is still using 10.7.1 and edit didtribution list is not greyed out.....anyone having the same issue or any ideas where it is now or how to re-enable it....or is it just broken?  Also I am contented into iCloud.

    To add to my original post.... My wifes OS was 10.7.1 and I just finished the update to 10.7.2 and signed into iCloud.  I first transfered iCal but left Address Book.  When I went into Address Book and checked the Distribution List it was not greyed out.  Next I transfered Address Book to iCloud and checked Dist List and it was greyed out.  Next I removed Address Book from iCloud (leaving a copy of it on the computer), restarted AB and checked to see if DL was still greyed and it was not.  So no fixes here but if you want the functionality of the DL you could turn off Address Book in iCloud temp until they come up with a fix.  Important: if you turn off Address Book from iCloud be sure to leave a copy on your puter and of course before doing any of this make a Archive Backup of Address Book.  I guess at this point it'll just be a waiting game until a fix comes out.  Cheers, Neil

  • Personal Address Books and Distribution Lists

    We have a problem with users sending email to large PAB's and DL's. When mail is sent to the users in these lists GroupWise slows to a snails pace until the mail is delivered to all the users in the list.
    Is there a size limit to PAB's or DL's?
    We are running Netware 6.5 sp7
    GW 7.0.3

    There are ACLs on the DLs in GW802

  • How to turn mailing lists into address book groups

    I'm looking for better ways to manage groups in the address book.
    I especially need a way add recipients on distribution list for a particular piece of email to a particular group. I have a bunch of implicit groups I've created that way in gmail and I'd like create explicit address book groups out of my (informal) email distribution lists. Mail.app does a good job of downloading the mails via imap or pop, but now I want to select a message and say "Add everyone who received this mail to my alumni [or whatever] group in the address book."
    I'm also looking for other ideas, tips, scripts for managing groups in my address book.

    OK, how about you open your csv file in Excel and put a tag identifying the custom label in front of each of the items (so eg 05991444555 with label special becomes sp-05991444555), then do your import. Then after the import run an AppleScript to strip the tag and reset the label.

  • Getting a list of email addresses into address book group

    I have an email with a list of 91 addresses. I need to send mail to this list quite often. Now I highlight the list, copy it, and paste it into the new email. Is there a way to transfer the addresses from this email directly to an address book group without having to do it one by one.

    Julia,
    I have the same problem. I want to make a group from a list, even from a email header list. My address book has close to 1000 entries. I'm looking for an easier way (like in Eudora with Nicknames) where I can copy and paste (or something!). Anything better than making a card for each and then finding them one by one to add to the group.
    Did you ever figure it out? Or get an answer elsewhere since there have been no responses here?

  • Address book groups not updated in iSync and iTunes-iPod-info sync

    Changes to address book groups are not reflected in iSync and iTunes. I.e. if I remove a group or add a group it is still the old list of groups that is listed in iSync and iTunes available for syncing with my phone or iPod. How do I get these list to be updated and reflect the present list in Address Book?

    The suggested resolution essentially said "delete the address book and start over."
    Ok, I can see how this will help but... a few questions:
    1. How to I re-load the address book with my 500+ contacts without loosing my groups and all the data? The suggestion in the other discussion doesn't give any guidance on this
    2. What caused the problem to begin with? In other words, how can I prevent it from happening again?
    I discovered the syncing problem about the time I did the following three things:
    1. Upgraded to 10.5.2
    2. Upgraded my iPhone (and iTunes) to 1.1.4
    3. Installed Bento (possibly a red herring) -- but it DOES connect to address book

  • Address Book Groups - Squrrelmail

    Hello,
    We have a OS X Leopard server running the stock installation of squirrelmail, we have not configured any plugins, etc.
    Is there a way to allow our users to setup address book groups/lists? I see a few plugins on the squirrelmail website, but they indicate you must have Squirrelmail using a database backend for address books. I do not believe Squirrelmail, on a mac server, uses a database as these plugins require. Now we have users who have built up address books, so switching would be more difficult.
    Does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions?
    Thanks

  • ISync syncs to wrong Address Book group

    When I sync my phone (Nokia 3230) with my MacBook, I designate the Address Book group titled "Contacts in 3230" to be synced. But contacts that I've added to the phone (my usual way of adding new contacts) are transferred to my "All" contacts in Address Book, but NOT to the designated group. To correct this, I have to manually try to remember what contacts were added to the phone, and then copy them from "All" into the "Contacts in 3230" group.
    How can I make iSync sync to the designated group?
    Many thanks for your advice.

    I have the same problem with a Nokia 6230. Really annoying as i sync has now cluttered up my mac address book with phone contacts that i wanted in a specific group called 'nokia back up' Also I tried putting a test item in this folder and this did not download onto the phone. I don't want my phone filled with all of my contacts and i don't want my mac filled with all the temporary contacts that end up in a phone on a Friday night. All i want is to back up my phone to my mac in case i loose it. should be simple enough!

  • How can I copy the contents of an address book group

    Does anyone know how I can copy the entire contents of an Address Book group and paste the results into an e-mail to send to others? When I select the group and then the "copy" tool, it copies only the first address in the group. If I select "select all", it selects all e-mail addresses everywhere, not just the ones in the intended group.

    He did not want to add them all to his address book; he simply wanted to have my long list of staff email addresses without having to type it or create it himself, like this: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. We used to use an email application called Eudora which allowed you to copy and paste group lists as though they were just text characters. With Mail (and Address Book), everything is connected to everything else and a group list is actually a set of flagged contacts from your "All Contacts" list.

  • ITunes' iPod preference missing Address Book Groups

    Just got an iPod Touch. When I first synced the ipod all of the contacts were from my Entourage account. I wanted them from Address Book. When I go in iTunes, under "Devices" and get the preferences for the iPod, I look under the "contacts" section. There are none of my Address book "groups" to select from. iTunes is not recognizing my Address book.
    How do I fix this?

    The Mac specialist over the phone said that my iPod was malfunctioned and needed to be sent in. It ends up that the iPod touch has a few limitations that other iPods I've owned do not have. While my 80 gig video ipod would show all my groups, the iPod touch would not. After about two days of playing around I found out that once I eliminated some of my groups they appeared in iTunes preferences. I don't have an exacts count but I think more then 15 groups is too much for iTunes.
    Problem solved.

  • Add contact from Mail directly to Address Book group?

    I am aware of adding a contact to Address Book by Control-clicking the email address, however I would like to add an address directly from Mail to an Address Book group. How is this done?

    You first need to open the message(s) that have the addresses you want to add to Address Book, then select the Add Addresses… script from the Mail Scripts folder listed in the Scripts icon in the menu bar (you can activate this by launching the AppleScript Utility.app program in HD/Applications/AppleScript and check the box labelled "Show Script Menu in menu bar" if it isn't already there).
    The script will launch and gather the information it needs about those messages, including the To: and From addresses and present them to you in a window; you need only check which ones you want to add and select the group you want them to go to from the drop-down menu it has and click Add or Okay, or whatever it has listed there to execute the script.
    Rinse and repeat for each different group of messages you want to add to a specific group.

  • How do I get a message filter to recognize an imported Address Book "Group"?

    When I imported my address-book from RitLabs, "The Bat!", it came with "The_Bat_Addr", under which were five groups containing all the actual contacts and emails.
    So I make a message filter at Inbox level to filter on the From: address being in one of the five groups.
    However, in Thunderbird, filter will allow selecting "The_Bat_Addr", and never sees the 'Groups'. Thus no filtering.
    How might I resolve this ?
    tnx

    The 'Address Book' contains 'address books'
    'address books' contain 'Mailing lists'
    the 'Groups' you refer to are the 'Mailing lists'.
    All contacts in a 'Mailing list' are in the associated 'address book'.
    the purpose of a 'Mailing list' is to enable sending one email to a specific collection of contacts. It is not another address book.
    The best way to filter those email addresses/contacts currently selected as a Mailing List, is to create more 'address books' and place a copy of those contacts into it.
    Then you have both options.
    The ability to use as a Mailing list and also the ability to filter.
    So a filter parameter will be:
    eg; 'From' and 'is in my address book' and name of 'address book'.

  • Using Address Book Groups in Mail

    If I type the name of an Address Book Group in the To: filed of a new Mail message the field will automatically be populated with the email addresses of the members of that Group.
    Does anyone know if there's any rhyme or reason to the order that the names appear in? It's certainly not alphabetical.
    Matt

    I have seen it asked for before, so you might try adding your voice to OS X Feedback.
    Meanwhile, if you REALLY REALLY want it there is a slow painful method ... see what order they appear in, then edit the cards so that the first one listed has the details of the first one you want listed etc. I don't think the UID changes when you edit a card.
