Address Book's Large Groups

I need to create a very large group on Address Book (sync'd with iCloud).
Now I've reached 1792 entries and it's impossible to add even a single entry more.
Did i reach a limit of entries that the Address Book's groups support??
Thanks for reply!

I have similar problem with Mawerkicks. Did you find some solution since you posted your question in 2011?
Thanks

When I send a Group message from my address book, the entire group gets listed in the "To" line. How do I get each member to receive the message individually without listing all members? Its just messy is all.

Hey Grupo Castillo,
Thanks for the question. You can actually configure this behavior from Mail preferences:
1. Choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
2. Click Composing.
3. Deselect the checkbox for "When sending to a group, show all member addresses".
When you send an email to the group, only the groups name will be seen.

How do I create address book entries for groups of individuals

How can I group several individual people in my address book into a group to collectively send them a msg without adding each one separately?

Look under Address Book/File - there should be an option to create a new group.

I have 67 email addresses I want to add to address book into a group, how do I do that

Adding address from Mail to Address Book as a Group

I receive email as part of a group, or multiple email addresses. I want to add everyone to my address book as a group.
Do I have to add each individual and then drag them into the group?
I mean if my church choir director sends email to the choir and it shows all the emails, can I just add al my choir mates to my address book and a new Group in my address book?

OK here is the solution to the fix. I simply deleted the account in address book and set it up again.
Working like a charm now.

Adding an Address Book card from a shared address book to a Group

I have an Address Book Sharing Question/Problem. With the .Mac Family Pack, I have multiple .Mac Accounts. I have set up Address Book to share addresses from the individual .Mac accounts and set each to be able to edit the shared addresses. Initially, I was hoping that these would appear in each users Address Book and sync all changes, instead of just appearing as a shared Address Book below the users Address Book. But that does not appear to be the case.
However, my question/problem is that I want to be able to add a card from a shared Address Book (for example from my wife’s Address Book) into a current group in my Address Book (say a family member group). I can drag the card in, but the information is apparently copied as a new card into my Address Book and changes I make are no longer synced with the shared Address Book (my Wife’s Address Book). Is this working correctly? (I know .Mac has been acting up in the last few weeks) If so, there does not appear to be much value in say sharing family, doctor, and friends info from my wife’s address book, as I can not create my own groups or if I do, our contact info is no longer synced. The new cards I copy in are also not visible to the shared Address Book, so we will also have no way of seeing that a card has been changed. Is there anyway to truly share a card or group of contacts between users of separate .Mac accounts so that the contacts can be separated into different groups for each user and card info / changes will remain synced? If this is already supposed to be occurring, any ideas as to a fix?

Also, if I drag an entire group from a shared Address Book to my Address Book, it is copied in a blue color, making me think "Cool! It is different from a group that I create (which are white), so it must be shared!" But it is not. Changes to cards in this "copied" group are not synced to the original shared Address Book. So, what does the blue color mean?

How can I stop a shared address book from duplicating groups?

Hi,
in our company we want to have one central address book, because we basically all contact the same people.
What I did was create an account on my Mac Mini Server and added that users address book to everyones addressbook app.
The problem I have now is that regularily all groups we have are duplicated, simply by opening the addressbook on a second machine.
Is there a better way of sharing an address book?
How do I stop the duplication of addresses?
(All machines are Mountain Lion!)
Thank you for any tips!
All the best
Christoph

Creating a group in address book from a group of emails

Hello,
I would like to create an email group in Address Book from a list of email addresses that was sent to me.
The scenario: I receive an email from our team manager for my son's baseball team. Listed in the "To:" header in the email are the 20 email addresses for the parents. I would like to copy/paste those emails or highlight/drag them into a new Group created in Address Book.
How do I do this without adding each individual email into the address book and then dragging each individual contact into the Group?
Thanks,

I too am looking for a solution. I found this script on another thread that worked but would rather a more direct connnection.

Natively on iPad you can not send to groups. There apps in the App Store which you can get for this. Here is one that may work for your needs: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mailshot-group-email-done/id410279354?mt=8

Address Book Contacts and Groups Randomly Disappear

I have been having an odd problem with my Address Book lately. From time to time when I open Address Book, all of the groups will have disappeared, except for the smart groups. After I go through and recreate all of my groups, I can close the application and reopen it without having lost them, but then a few weeks or months later they'll be gone again.
Today I had an even stranger problem. I was filling in the birthday field for several existing cards and in the middle of typing, almost all of my contacts disappeared. The only ones left were the ones that I had just created yesterday. Fortunately, I had backed up my database yesterday, but this seems like a serious problem.
I share my address book with my wife via .Mac. I'm not sure if that affects anything, although my computer does seem to spend a lot of time syncing whenever I have Address Book open.
I don't think this is a problem of low disk space as I still have over 11 GB left on my hard drive.

I have been having the same problem. Contacts will disappear randomly. It is very frustrating especially when you go to write an email and realize that mail no longer has an email address for someone and you know that you have to input all of their info again.
I wish Apple would figure this problem out.

Address Book names and groups are gone - forever?

Hmmm.
After I added two names to Address Book from a message header in Mail, I noticed a duplicate name and selected the menu item to merge the two "cards."
Boom, as teh steve would say, several groups and over a hundred names are gone, now.
Only two names remain—the name I was adding and the duplicate name I was merging
(the one with the wrong spelling, ironically).
No undo was available. Nothing appeared in the trash. No, "Are you sure?" No warning messages about the change having no recourse, etc.
I've already had 2 very stiff drinks (I'm over 21 and do not intend to drive and feel otherwise socially responsible and do not condone irresponsible behaviour, etc., etc., etc.)
Any ideas about recovering any data would be REALLY helpful. Thank you.
I notice there's a way to back up the Address Book data. Gee, that's really nice to know, now.
Edit: OS is 10.4.11 with this problem

Sorry Stan... have you rebooted yet?
Look & see if you have a file like this...
Address Book - 7:31:08.abbu
Date will be different.
In finder go to /Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
see if there are any files like this in it...
AddressBook.data
Images
AddressBook.data.previous
ABPerson.skIndexInverted
.import.lockN
.skIndex.ABPerson.lockN
.database.lockN
AddressBook.data.beforesave
ABPerson.skIndex
LastImport.plist
If it's really gone, quit using the computer if you wish a chance to recover it.

Address Book Server & Smart Groups

Do these two even work together?
We are running OS X Snow Leopard Server and Address Book. Clients can see the records as expected.
But clients that create Smart Groups can't use them with records on the server. You can create a Smart Group, and it will show the desired records in the "Name" column, but no other clients see the Smart Group on their versions of Address Book. And when you try and print a Smart Group, no records show up.
It looks like regular groups work, but smart groups don't? Is this correct?
Thanks,
Kevin

Address book spontaneously deletes group

I've had this happen three times now:
Address book just spontaneously deletes one of my groups (two times with the same group).
Or else the group just vanishes somehow.
I'm just switched to Mail after using Entourage for five years, so I'm not a power user or anything. I may be missing something.
any ideas appreciated.
Ken

You may have to delete the address book plist file, and restart your mac. You can find it here:

Synch Palm desktop contacts with address book and keep groups

I currently have a palm treo and run the palm desktop to coordinate all of my contacts and would like to import this into the address book. The problem is I have the contacts seperated by a category and would like to keep them seperated when they are in the address book. is there a way to do this when they are imported?

the missing synch software takes care of this.
