Address Book smart groups - can't use job title in criteria?

Trying to create a smart group in Address Book. One of the search criteria I want to use is based on information I am entering into the Job Title field. However, the Job Title field is not one of the options that is available in the drop down menu. I'm using the Job Title menu on at least 12 of the cards in my address book.
Suggestions?

sorry, what you see in the smart group parameters is what you get. as something of a workaround you can copy the job titles into the Note filed and use that in the smart group.

  • Address Book Smart Groups and Custom Fields

    Anyone have issues syncing Smart Groups in Address Book? Seems like an awful waste of resources if we cannot keep that synced between MobileMe, our Mac/PC and iPhone.
    Also, same issue with custom fields I've created for certain contacts. For example, I've created hours of operation for certain businesses. These fields sync into my contacts in MobileMe but it's not pushed to my iPhone. Again, such a waste to have information that cannot be maintained.

    I have been advised by the .Mac team that Address Book Smart Groups cannot be synched between two (or more) computers using .Mac

  • Address Book Smart Group question

    Hello all,
    I want to create a Smart Group in Address Book that compiles people according to their job title.
    For example a group of everyone whose job title is 'Manager', i.e. Job Title contains Manager. But for some reason Job Title is not in the list of options when creating a Smart Group.
    Is there a way to make it work?
    Also, (a question for all the Snow Leopard users) is the option for Job Title there in OSX 10.6?
    I'm using Tiger 10.4.11.
    Thanks all.

    There is no such field for Job Title by default. If you select the Add Field item from the Card menu you can add that field to a card. However, I do not see Job Title as a search field for a Smart Group. I assume this is a bug which you can report here: Feedback.

  • Why Address Book Smart Group Doesn't Work?

    I'm unable to find a solution to, or explination for, the following problem with Address Book and Smart Folders.
    I added a custom date field for my contacts.
    Set the date for one year and five days ago.
    Created Smart folder with condition:
    custom date 'is not within' one year.
    Well, my contact I created with custom date of one year and five days ago did not appear in the smart group I created.
    But it does appear in a smart group with condition 'is within' one month.
    Seems that the Smart Group is ignoring the year. Doesn't seem very smart to me, lol.
    Any advice on what is going on, or how to fix it would be greatly appreciated. I've spent hours looking for answers online and haven't found anything. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi The Zack,
    In case you think you are crazy, I can confirm that in this area you are not. I just switched from years of PC drudgery to the the new Mac religion. I even switched all my email/address/calendar stuff to pure Apple. Some bumps and hiccups, but still I guess the real test is when I log back onto my old PC I feel like I am watching a rerun of a black and white sitcom.
    I digress. On of my hiccups is exactly the same as yours. Address Book is always able to search. It seems a good number of the names in my address book can not be found by typing in any part of their information in the search box. I could not fix this by duplicating the address entry, but I could get it work by hand typing in a new duplicate address entry. I am hoping you and Barry discover a cleaner solution to this.
    Thx, Kmon23

  • Address Book: smart group conflict

    I created a smart group in Address Book with some flawed logic and it rendered my Address Book unusable. When I launch the app, all I get is a spinning rainbow wheel, then the app crashes. I am still learning my way around the mac, so I'm looking for some advice here.
    So here's my big question: Is there some way for me to delete this smart group without launching the app? I believe the app has gotten itself into a logical infinite loop when trying to build this group. If I remove the group, I believe I can get the app to work again.
    If there isn't a way, can someone offer another solution?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to access Address Books "Smart Groups" on iPhone ?

    Address Book on the Mac allows for the creation of both Groups and Smart Groups.
    Although my Groups show up fine on the iPhone, the Smart Groups do not.
    How can I access my Smart Groups on the iPhone?
    Thank you.

    Unfortunately, the iPhone does not sync SmartGroups from the MacOS X Address Book, at this time. Only regular groups.

  • Address book smart groups not syncing

    I'm using a 3G iPhone, Macbook Pro and MobileMe. Everything is pretty much working ok, except my Address Book's smart groups don't sync to MobileMe.
    My standard (non-smart) contact groups - the ones created with the + button on the bottom-left of Address Book - sync just fine, but smart groups don't. This is a real nuisance as I rely on smart groups to keep track of certain sets of contacts. Anybody got any ideas please?

    Sorry to nudge, but anyone any thoughts on this?

  • Number of address book contacts on MacBook Air using iCloud is one less than my other iDevices using iCloud.  Is this a known bug?

    Number of address book contacts on MacBook Air using iCloud is one less than my other iDevices using iCloud.  Is this a known bug?  I've checked for duplicates on my iDevices and I can't find any.  Additionally, I have wiped all the data from the Application Support folder of the address book and re-connected to iCloud, but it always shows 308 contacts instead of 309 found on iCloud and the rest of my devices.  Any ideas?

  • My iPod touch 2nd generation does not sync my contacts. I only have iCloud contacts in my address book. How can i sync that?

    My iPod touch 2nd generation does not sync my contacts. I only have iCloud contacts in my address book. How can i sync that?

    I do not fully understand you question.  To use iCloud on an iOS device requires iOS 5 and the 2G only goes to iOS 4.1.2 and thysyu can't access iCloud, including contacts.
    Maybe you could sync the iCloud contacts with anopther program and sync that program with the 2G iPod.
    The following smple states the following for Contacts:
    iCloud: What if my device or computer doesn't meet iCloud system requirements?
    Contacts
    If you want to check your iCloud Contacts, you can do so by visiting icloud.com from a Mac or PC (as long as it meets the browser system requirements for icloud.com).

  • Uwc address book problems (groups)

    I downloaded and installed communications suite 5. As I was playing around with it (trying to get a better handle on the changes from what we have today), I discovered an oddity with the address book and groups in the "cooperate directory". I wonder if anyone else has noticed this as well as if anyone knows of any patches for commsuite 5.
    Details:
    when I expend a group from from the cooperate directory, the members do not appear (though they do appear in a group I manually assemble in my personal address book). The little icon simply just changes directions no matter if members appear when the group name is clicked on or not.
    Another oddity is that if people are associated with groups (in the directory) via "mgrpRFC822MailMember" attributes, they also do not show up as members of the group (when the group name is clicked on). Though, members which are associated via "uniqueMember" do appear in the member list.
    This is a schema 1 directory which works well with our. I am unsure if these are incompatibilities with schema 1 vs schema 2 or if these are bugs in the product. Anyone have any insight?
    (hopefully that all made sense)

    Hi,
    Excuse the ignorance. I assume a "CR" is a bug
    report? How would I go about reading the bug report?Correct. As for reading the bug report itself I don't think you can read this from outside of Sun. I read through it myself and it definitely reads as the same issue, in this case though it affects 6.2 and is fixed in the next point releases:
    125813-01 (messaging server)
    125819-01 (uwc)
    I recommend if you have a support contract that you log a support case via http://www.sun.com/service/online/ That way when the patches for 6.3 come out you will get them first.
    I have not done any patching (I can't find any
    patches for Comm suite 5). It is possible we are at
    the same patch level?There aren't any patches yet available - so if you are running the GA release (and there is no reason to think you are not, then chances are you are running the same patch level).
    Regards,
    Shane.

  • Two address books so i can merge one with other software?!

    apologies again for the multiple mac mail questions today. i am a relatively new mac user, have upgraded recently to lion and am trying to finally put it all together.
    does anyone know if it is possible to create a second address book account?
    i would like to merge my contacts in CardScan with Mac Address Book but i would like to keep my Address Book contacts (the ones i use on my phone all the time) separate from this more business oriented database.
    any ideas?
    TIA

    CC,
    you can add a new user account on your Mac (open system preferences / accounts) and start fresh there with an empty AddressBook.
    If you want to fill this with a part of your original AB, select those and export as vCards. Drop this export file in your shared folder so you can access that from the new user account. Open AB ther and import the vCards

    I can see my folders by clicking the X next to my name on the Inbox Folder.  So I have my folders now, just cannot see them in the left colum or see multiple windows on Outlook.  At this point, I can use the folders, just with limited functionality.  Thanks -Gina

  • Is there any Contact Manager or Address Book that I can install on my PC (Windows 7) that when synced to my Iphone that will accept my custom Lables for type of entry, such as you have- Home, Work, then "Private Line" ?

    I am wondering if in fact there is any Contact Manager or Address Book that I can install on my PC running Windows7 that when synced with my 4s that it will retain all my custom lables for phone numbers in Contacts on my iPhone, such as Sandra's Private Line, Cadillac, Bat Phone or what ever?

    Hi sahgin,
    The issue eventually resolved itself, I still don't really know why. I kept up with Windows update, and attempted downloading iTunes again from the Apple website, and it just... worked. It now works fine. I don't know why it took approximately 4 months to work, though.
    I'm sorry I don't have any more helpful information. Posting here was my last resort, and clearly Apple never bothered to reply.

  • Can we print job titles from the address book?

    In Address Book we can print name, address and the business if we want to. We need to print the job titles with the name, the address and the business. Is it possible in the app Address Book from Apple? If not, is there an app that would give us the flexibility to do it?
