Address Book Suggestion: See who is NOT in a Group

I recently moved all of my contacts from Entourage to the Address Book in OS X, and am very happy with it. On top of the ease of use of the Address Book, its integration with MobileMe and the iPhone is wonderful.
As I organized and updated my 300+ contacts, I began to sort them into Groups. I quickly found that I could move people to the group easily, but I had a hard time remembering who was NOT in that group already.
I would like to suggest adding a view or filter to see who is NOT in a given group. That way, you can quickly scan your list of contacts, and add any that are missing, completing the group.
Thank you!

This would work for contacts that are only in one group, but some are in more than one - rather than creating a smart group for every group (doubling the number of groups I have), I would like to suggest this be a feature of the Address Book app, much like how Home Sharing in iTunes 9 will tell you what music is NOT in your current library, so you can choose to import it.

  • How can I see in my address book all contaacts that have not been placed into groups?

    How can I see in my address book the contacts that have not been put into groups?

    The best way to do that is create a new "smart group" with the following:
    This way you can identify those without a group and drag them to one.

  • Address book of my mac does not show all my contacts in iphone. What do i do??

    Address book of my mac does not show all my contacts in iphone. What do i do??

    iCloud, which replaced MobileMe, requires OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  You will need to upgrade to OS X Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac.  First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
    Lion system requirements are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Mountain Lion and Mavericks requirements are the same, as listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
    If you can run Mavericks, you can download a free upgrade from the Mac App Store.  If your system can only run Lion, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.  If you prefer Mountain Lion for software compatibility reasons, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
    After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
    Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing applications by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.   Also be aware that older PPC programs such as AppleWorks and Office 2004 for Mac will not run on OS X Lion or higher.

    5 crashes after upgrade to ios my address book immediately and I can not access emails, because the password is wrong and when I go to mail settings crashes the application immediately from 

    Same issue also. Occurring both on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 after upgrading to ios 5
    By the way, Mattban and Sancasslano, are either of you also experiencing any of the following issues:
    * Problems with Contacts either crashing or listing no names
    * Problems with turning iCloud on or off for application under Settings->iCloud... On both mine I just get a pop up saying that iCloud is being turned off but Contacts then just locks up.
    * General problems when trying to synch applications on the iPad or iPhone over iCloud?
    I am wondering if all these issues are in someway related to and whether it is worth trying to turn off iCloud somehow, though I cannot work out how this can be done once set up.

  • HT1386 Address book on my mac is not syncing with my iPhone

    Address book on my mac is not syncronising with my iPhone, address book is not affected, but iPhone loses all contacts after syncronising, any help would be appreciated. Mike

    1. Connect the iPad to your computer via USB.
    2. Open iTunes.
    3. Select the iPad, then Books on the "tabs" along the top.
    4. Select "Sync Books" if it is not selected, and "all books."
    5 Click the "Sync" button in the lower right corner.

    How can I send my address book to my new samsung note 10.1 2014 edition?

    Sync it to an app on your computer using iTunes, then sync your Samsung to the same app. Or sync your address book to gmail, yahoo or hotmail, then sync your Samsung to the same service.

    Having problems with Winmail.dat attachments?  This is really Windows problem but their hubris will not allow them to admit it. 
    Windows does have a global fix for this problem but it is not a general patch - in their KB there is a fix for Exchange servers which cause the winmail.dat problem but most users don't know about it or have it implemented. 
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138053http://
    Here is a solution that Apple users can get for $30.  An Austrian program and APP called Letter Opener http://www.creativeinaustria.com/http:// is the solution to seamlessly opening Winmail.dat files.

    Can we control syncing at all? I can't seem to make a Local/On My Mac group in Address Book.

  • List of users who do not have USER GROUP.

    Hi friends,
    I want to find out the list of users who do not have USER GROUP.
    Can any one please let me know how to find out.
    Thanks,
    Ankitha

    Hi,
    use the transaction "suim" or the abap report "RSUSR002"
    -> user information system
    open tree -> user -> users by compley.... -> exec. users by complex...
    next screen -> Group for authorization -> select multiple selection (right symb.) -> in the tab 'single vals' -> click on the left symb. -> select '='
    leave the fields blank. -> 'F8' or ok. -> then in the main screen 'F8' or run.
    so you will get all users without a group asignment
    I hope it was helpfully.
    best regards

  • Address Book and MailStreet Exchange Server not synchronizing

    I was reading the discussion in this thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1008103&tstart=3147) but it has been archived and I can't reply there. So here's a new topic.
    I'm having the same problem, only I'm trying to connect to a hosted Exchange 2007 server through mailstreet.com. I also successfully connected and synchronized to a hosted Exchange 2003 server through mail2web.com, so it appears that the poster who says that Address Book only works with Exchange 2000 was mistaken.
    I found little reference to this issue online except for one article at Snerdware (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1008103&tstart=3147), which mentions in the fourth and fifth paragraphs from the bottom that this person had the exact same issue with the MailStreet setup.
    I have a hard time believing that it is specifically the MailStreet service that is at fault, since Address Book connects to the same ports that are opened for Outlook Web Access and the WebDAV services that Entourage connects via (and Entourage successfully connects to the MailStreet server using the Exchange WebDAV protocol).
    Is it a setting thing? I've tried every permutation of the MailStreet Exchange server's address (including prepending it with http://, https://, suffixing it with /exchange, /exchange/username, /exchange/domain\username, using my login with just my username and with domain\username, etc. I cannot get it to work.
    MailStreet customer service said that unfortunately they do not support synchronzing with the OS X Address Book. However, the agent who emailed me back did say that he has heard of it working sometimes with the same settings I was attempting to use, so that both encourages and discourages me.
    Any ideas how to make this work?
    Also, I have the install disc for 10.5 but have not yet upgraded. Maybe the Leopard Address Book app has additional Exchange functionality...?

    I found another thread that more closely describes the problem I'm having:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1045312&tstart=3705
    I've identified the same Translator crash mentioned in that thread. Each time I try to manually sync Address Book with the Exchange server, I see the Translator crash pop up in the console.
    This is now happening on two Exchange servers. I have not gone back and tested to see if the Mail2Web one works--that will likely be my next step. But what on earth could be configured incorrectly to cause Translator to crash?
    Interestingly, if I change the Outlook Web Access server setting from https://server.domainname.com/exchange/domain\username to https://server.domainname.com/exchange, I get an error popping up that "iSync couldn't connect to Exchange / Could not reach the server specified." With it in the former setting (which is how Address Book defaulted the Outlook Web Access server setting after I entered the username and password), it fails silently but Translator crashes in the background.
    Interestingly, too, with the former option, I see either no TCP traffic with tcpdump or one short line of gibberish with my IP address talking to the Exchange server's address. With the latter option (without the domain and username appended to the end), I see a good bit more TCP traffic--more like 20 rows in a standard-sized Terminal window, so it is talking to something.

  • Unable to access emails and address book using Firefox 5, but not using explorer

    Since installing the latest updated version of Firefox, I can log into my Tiscali email account, but once there I cannot open my emails. Instead of saying 'You have (number) new emails' it says 'You have unspecified new emails'. If I click on Inbox or 'Check new mail', nothing happens at all. Also, if I try to access my address book either to read or edit it again nothing happens.
    Emails works perfectly well using Windows Explorer, which would suggest that the problem does not lie with my ISP (Talktalk) or my Tiscali email account.

    You can install both your accounts in Thunderbird and then simply move messages from one to the other. You then have the choice to continue using Thunderbird, or to switch using Gmail via its own website.
    Address Books are a bit harder to transfer. I'd suggest you go to the msn account, in your browser, and seek options to download or export your address book there. I expect it will offer CSV as an option, and vcard format is a possibilty. Both of these can be imported into Thunderbird and into Gmail.

  • Address Book Opens Automatically and will not close (even with Force Quit)

    The address book automatically opens at times and I cannot close it. Even with a force quit, I cannot close it. It takes up over 80% of CPU cycles when it opens automatically. Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks
    Robby

    This is happening to me too. Has occurred on MBP 17" about six or seven times over the past couple of weeks. Have not been able to replicate it. But recently suspect that it may be related to auto syncing and/or syncing my iPhone 3G.
    Anyone else have an idea?

  • Address Book import from hard drive NOT runnung computer

    I am ReCoVeRiNg from BOTH of my Macs dying! Now I have a Mac Pro. zthe old hard drives are still usable (firewire accessible) I figured how to get ZSafari bookmarks... Now I want my old asddress book contacts. Everting I see say export then import - I can not export - all i can do it see the AddressBook.data file. How can I get at it???
    BTW
    the Mac Pro is VERY QUICK!!!!!

    Hi Jonathan, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    For Address Book...
    Files...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
    Folders...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook/
    Doubtful any of those will be of use except...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata/<36 digits>:ABPerson.abcdp
    Which AB in 10.5 or higher should import I hear.
    The other way would be to use Migration assistant.

  • 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.
