Address book groups in icloud

I have been a long time mac mail user and love it.  With iCould I cannot seem to access my address book groups like in mac mail.  Is there any way to send mail to these groups in icloud mail, like I can in mac mail.  The reson being is that my office has sbcglobal as our IT provider and it has glitches with mac mail.

  • Can you have two address books on one icloud account?

    My wife and I want separate contact lists.  Is there any way to do this with 1 ICloud account?
    Thanks,

    No, you need separate iCloud accounts. If you want to maintain separate Address Books you and your wife should have separate user accounts on your Mac anyway.
    You can setup separate Address Book groups within a Address Book in a single Mac user account.

  • Can a share certain Address Book groups only using Mobileme?

    I'd like to share an address book group called 'work contacts' with a colleague. I managed to allow him to share my address book, but he could see all my contacts. Is there a way to allow him to subscribe to that group alone?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    iCloud appears to provide no Address Book sharing. You might be able to do this through Google, but it would be likely to be all contacts or none.
    iCloud allows you to share calendars privately (editable if you wish) to other iCloud users or publicly (non-editable) to anyone - they would need a CalDAV client to read it, such as iCal or Google Calendars.
    You share individual calendars, so private events should be in their own calendar which is not shared.

  • 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!

  • Sending an email to a 250 person address book group.

    I am trying to send an email with a picture attached to a group from my address book using Mac Os X mail. It will not send when I click the send button. There are 250 people in the address book group. Is there a limit to the size of group that OS X mail will send to?
    when i remove the group and send to 2 individual contacts, it sends right away...help.

    Not sure that there is one in today's world of spamming - frankly, I'm glad my ISP and/or web email hosting service et al have these in place.
    This is what I do for any emails which need to be sent to more than about 10 - 15 people:
    I prepare an email with attachments if necessary and have my address book open. I start inserting email addresses in the BCC field until I reach a certain number. I open a new message window, paste in the email, and work on the next 50 or so. I do this until I've enough emails to cover every recipient I want to send this to. I then send one or more emails, wait about 2 hours, send more, etc, etc - you get the idea.
    Also, be advised: Comcast has told me that they watch the activity; although they do not have a maximum in my case, if they feel that you could be a spammer by the number of emails and recipients, they may not allow the usual port for you to send email through and you will get errors.

  • 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

  • How do I move/copy contacts from Entourage to iCloud Address Book without creating duplicates? Address Book on Mac, iCloud, iPhone and iPad is now empty

    How do I move/copy contacts from Entourage to iCloud Address Book without creating duplicates? Address Book on Mac, iCloud, iPhone and iPad is now empty

Just realised that amongst the software is ibiz and have lost al my accounting and billing files for the last 7 years want to cry so losing my contacts now will really tip me over the edge!
    Fingerscrossed this works!

  • 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.

  • Set outgoing account based on address book group

    Hello -- I am looking for a way to automatically set the account of new outgoing messages based on the address book group membership of the email recipient. For example, a script or rule that works something like:
    If [any recipient] belongs to group [employer1] set message account [employer1];
    If [any recipient] belongs to group [employer2] set message account [employer2];
    If [any recipient] belongs to group [personal] set message account [personal];
    etc.
    Paul Berkowitz has written a very clever script to do exactly this for Entourage (see http://scriptbuilders.net/files/otheraccountx2.0.5.html) but I have been unable to locate an equivalent for Mail.app.
    I would very much appreciate any suggestions regarding where to find (or how to build) a script, automator workflow, etc. that accomplished this task.
    Thank you!

    Thanks for the feedback. Assuming your point above is correct, is it possible to create a script or workflow that initiates a new outgoing email message then changes the account to something other than the default? For example, I might might disable [cmd-n] for new messages, then set up new shortcuts linked to simple scripts so that that [ctrl-cmd-A] would initiate a new message with the account set for Employer Alpha and [ctrl-cmd-b] would initiate a new message with the account set for Employer Beta. An alternative solution might be to write a script to replace the usual [cmd-n] with a simple dialogue box that forces me to make a conscious decision about the From account every time I initiate a new outgoing email message.
    My goal here is to prevent a situation in which I forget to manually switch from the default account to the correct account for an outgoing message, thus inadvertently sending email from the wrong address. Either of the solutions I described in the paragraph above would meet my needs... might one or both of these might be possible?
    Thank you again for your support,

  • Sorting address book groups

    Is there a way to sort the order of address book groups other than alphabetical?
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Question: why mail does not recognize an address book  group

    i could not find an address book forum - excuse me if i post here.
    an address book group with about 20 names has worked well for a year.
    today i added and deleted a few names. now mail does not recognize the name as an email group.
    i created a new group with a new name and imported all the names in one block from the non working group. the new group also is not recognized as having email addesses in mail.
    my other groups seem to work fine.
    i had entourage for awhile and had to rebuild it periodically. do i need to do something similar here.
    thanks

    Check the names of your groups that you have this issue with to make sure you don't have any special characters or extra spaces at the beginning or end of the group name.
    I just found another posting on the message boards that solved my issues. Someone discovered that they had a blank space in their group name which was causing the error. I didn't have any extra spaces at th end of the group name, but I did have a period in my group name (St. Francis). I removed the period from the group name in address book and now the emails send to that group without the error message.

  • My address book contacts in icloud

    Hi All,
    I cannot seem to sync my address book contacts in icloud. I have search for some info online which suggested that I go into my address book preferences and set it up to icloud but this option does not show in the preferences.
    Any advice?
    thanks.

    You need Mac OS X 10.7.4 or later to use iCloud and have the iCloud system preferences pane.
