Adress Book Groups in IOS 6

Why Apple developper's remove the old way of selecting and finding a contact inside groups !!
it is a nightmare now , i have more than 1200 contacts and how can i find someone inside the new way of working ?
how it's possible someone at Apple decide this unproductive way of working !
now i need to deselect all the contact and select the group i want to see in, an then enter inside that group !
and if i want to switch back to an other group i need to undo and redo this selection.
Seriously is it a beginner who decide this kind of functionnalities ????
And there is a Senior something that let this append on the market ???
Steve Jobs will never let do such a pain to use intrerface !!!
They change the mistake they make inside Lion with adress book, and now they make it worst inside IOS 6 !

Yes this *****. Why is this the only reply? Let me make this clear if "features" like this become common Apple will lose it; How in the world did this even make it into IOS 6? Jobs would have rained down profanities on the "genius" who let this through. It ***** it ***** it *****! Get rid of it now. I know this sounds stupid but I feel betrayed here, this is a moronic move ala Microsoft. I can't believe this. I really am outraged; in this case Apple is not hungry only foolish.

Mail & Adress Book: issues sending group mail - Problem solved

I started writing this discussion because I could not get something to work. As I wrote it, I made many tests to confirm what I was writing and also read several past discussions on the subject. I ended up solving my problem and decided to share my findings. Hope it is useful to other people.
EMAIL TO A GROUP WITH ALL RECIEPIENTS SHOWING IN THE «TO» HEADER - My problem solved
SENDING FROM THE MAIL APPLICATION:
To start do the following: Mail/Preferences/Composing check «Show members of a group»
Then for a group name with two or more words OR wit a one word group name, start writing the group name in the «TO» header of an email wait until the « () » appears highlithed in a color as you slowly write the Address Book group name and then select the group name from the scroling list appearing below which comes from your Adress Book (whether it's open or not). If you choose in a selection list before the « () » appears as you type, you could end up with an empty list and the group email does not work. When the « () » does not yet appear but the group name does below, it most likely will not work but if you scroll down you may find a second one that will. The whole thing is wear but once you get the hang of it you make it work everytime.
SENDING FROM THE ADDRESS BOOK APPLICATION:
If you try to send the email to a group from the application ADRESS BOOK by pressing «ctrl» & right clicking the name of the group and select «Send an email to GROUP-NAME», it will work also. But the group name must not have a space before its name in the Address Book (one could decide to do this to have a group to appear at the top of a list of groups). The latter was my problem and sending from the address book application did not work.
EMAIL TO A GROUP WITH «UNDISCLOSED RECIPIENTS» SHOWING IN THE «TO» HEADER - My problem solved
First one has to uncheck the «Show members of a group» in Mail/Preferences/Composing
Second strat a new email and proceed as described above in «1.» in the second and third paragraph.
As suggested in one discussion, if you still can not get it to work try closing your Mail and Address Book applications and re-open them.
As suggeted in another discussion by Ernie Stamper on May 15 2009 in the «Can't send an email to a group»:
«In Mail Preferences/Composing, select to Show members of a group, and then compose a message (no need to send for this test) using the group address -- do the 9 addresses show in the message header? If so, then report the name of the provider of the SMTP you are using. It might be that they do not allow the Group in the To -- when working correctly, the recipient sees only Undesignated Recipients in the header.»

Lost all my concats in my adresse book

I was putting new adresses in my adresse book and there in 2 sec, the were all gone.... is there a way I can get them back???????
Thank you

I am sure your English is much better than my German, Italian, French, or any other language would be. I have once been to the beautiful city of Geneva, Switzerland and am amazed at the ability of its residents to master several different languages, and their kindness when dealing with Americans like myself who can barely master just one. But I am still not clear about some of the things you say. I will do my best to make myself clear to you by numbering the important questions I must ask about this, and then discussing what I mean about each one:
1. When you say "new files without name show up," where did these things show up?
In the main Address Book window there are 3 columns. On the left is the list of groups. In the center is the list of names of all contacts (people or companies) in the selected group. On the right is the information about the selected contact. The information in the right column includes things like names, email addresses, street addresses, a picture of the contact, and so on. In English, Apple calls each contact a "card," because it is like a business card or a card in a rotary office file.
Did these 20 new things show up in this window? If they did, which column did the show up in?
I ask because none of these things would be a "file." When you create a new entry (a new "card"), all of the information is blank at first -- no name, email address, or anything else. You can do this by clicking the "+" button at the bottom of the name list. This may be what you did, but you would have to do it 20 times to create 20 new blank entries (cards).
2. What did you highlight when you "try to delete only this one"?
Was it in the group or name column, or something in the contact information? Is is possible you highlighted more than one thing?
3. How did you try to delete this one?
If not with the "-" button or keyboard, did you drag something to the trash, or use the menu?
I am not sure any of this is important because it does sound like you somehow have lost all your contacts. I ask these things only in the hope that I do not understand what happened.
If your Mac is new or you are still covered by Applecare, it might be best for you to contact Applecare in your country for better help than I can offer you. You may also want to try posting here in your own language. I won't understand you but someone else who does may be able to help you more.

How can I insert my adress book from my gmail account to my Iphone 4S

How can I insert my adress book from my gmail account to my Iphone 4S

Rudegar - the iOS on the device would not support syncing with iCloud. iCloud would work with iOS 5.0 and later. Preferable way is to have a back up created on another computer.

IPad2 Adress Book (Contacts) crashes directy

Hi all,
A few days ago i bought my iPad2 and I am very happy with it.
Unfortunately, when I try to start the standard Adress Book app, it directly crashes.
I also have an app wich can use the standard adress book to create classmates in that appl but that app crashes when I press 'create new classmate'.
I think it has something to do with the fact that the adress book does not work.
I have this standard adress book app crash since the very beginning of using my new iPad. My iPad runs on ios5, wich I downloaded directly when i bought my iPad. My dad has a iPad wich stilll runs on ios4.xxxx and he does not have that problem with the crashing adress book app.
I also checked google and saw many more people who have the same problem as I have, but I couldn't find a working solution.
So please help me with this one, I realy enjoy my iPad and it is so sad that the adress book app doesn't work.
And yes, I did shut off the Adress Book app and rebooted my device
Thanks and have a nice day,
Jordi

Ive go the pad this way. IOS 5 is preinstalled. I use googlemail, maybe that causes the problem.

HT2486 Address Book Groups for emailing

I had groups that worked Back in December '11 (for emailing) and now they don't, and haven't for a few months. It's driving me crazy. Anyone have any ideas of what might have changed in the meantime? I'm using iPad 2, iPhone 4Gs, and a new desktop Mac. All software is up-to-date.
Thanks!

Had the same problem, went crazy over it... I don't believe how simple it was to solve : once you created your adress group in adress book, you have to QUIT mail and QUIT the adress book. Once you reopen Mail, it will work... But you might not be able to have more then 25 members in your group, the adress must all be good, and some mail server will want you to put yourself in the "to" field and your group in the BCC field.
At least, that works with Lion 10.7.5.

HT2486 restore address book groups

Does anyone know how to restore _Groups_ to the Contacts.app?
When my wife updated to Mountain Lion, her individual cards carried over from Address Book to Contacts, but her groups vanished.
We have tried several ways to move them over from TM, but all failed: e.g., entering time machine and restoring the ~/com.apple.AddressBook.plist and restorng that file.
Thanks.

Adress Book not tranlate in French ?...

Hi.
I've juste upgrade my MBP in 10.6 (in French) and the Adress Book talk US ?...

For me the menus and menus' items are in French (Carnet d'Adresses, Fichier, Edition, Présentation, ...) but not the labels in the window : "group", "name" although I can read "fiches" at the bottom of the window. Thus I think it's only partially translated. Quite messy and unprofessional, isn't it dear Steve ?

ICal, Mail, Adress book and more crashes upon launch

This morning I tried to open iCal, it crashed immedialtly. A window opened asking me to restore my window. Did'nt have time to click yes, the app is gone.
I trashed preferences and plists, restart computer, no amelioration.
Then tried to open Mail after restard and it does the same thing (it was working fine before retart). It offered me to retore window then it closed.
Same with Adress Book.
Then I opened my system preferences, click on Mail, contacts and calendar, System prefs crashes.
Tried to open iCloud in syst. prefs, it also crashed (all other items in syst. prefs do not crash).
Repaired permissions (just in case) but everything still crashes.
I have no clue to what to do next... can someone help me with this?
Thank's

Create a new User go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the apps in this new account, if they work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide.
If the issue is limited to your user account Did he have you try try starting up in Safe Mode and test.
(It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your apps functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not Copy & paste this is your "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library
Then go to/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the Desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, moveUsers/yourname/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.

Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on different devices.

Is there a way to make a smart "playlist" of specific books in my iTunes library, and copy ONLY THOSE books to an iOS device? I own an iPad and an iPhone but I want different books on each different device. When I've tried this, the iOS devices don't seem to respond.

There is no playlist for iBooks, butther eis nothing to preent you from choosing to download specific titles from itunes, or syncing just specific titles to an individual device.

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.

My Adress Book shows strange behavior, cannot search or edit

Hi folks!
I recently updated to Lion, also switched my .me to iCloud. At first everything was perfect, now I am experiencing strange behaviours:
I am starting to add fotos to my contacts because I like the view in Mail.app where the contact fotos are shown in the list of emails. After I added some more photos I cannot search in the address book anymore. Typing a name into the search field and nothing happens. Also clicking on a name an nothing happens on the right side. Absolutely nothing. There's only one entry that does not change and when hitting the "edit" Button, only this one contact is changed. Also this one contact changes when doing a right click on a contact name on the left side.
I did some searches here but did not find anything. What I did was deleting the "AddressBook-v22.abcddb" in the ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ Folder as suggested in some other threads but this does not change anything.
This is really annoying and I cannot use my Address Book which I really need. I have more than 2000 contacts inside and it's essential for my business!
Please help!
Thanks and best, Jochen

OK, seems like I can replicate the behaviour:
- repair Disk Permissions
- restart MBP (do not open all apps again)
- after reboot, only the Finder is open
- open Address Book
- click on contact name on the left side, brings details on the right, editing works also -> great!
- click in the search field and type a name
-> no filter of the list or search result appears
- click on any contact left hand side, nothing happens on the right, the last clicked contact before the search remains open
- double click on contact name opens separate window as expected
- no search possible anymore
- no editing possible anymore
-> again repair permissions, and restart and same procedure ...
this is Adress Book 6.1 (1062) on MacBook Pro 17'' with 10.7.2
