Any way to see which contacts are NOT in a group?

Hi. In Contacts in Yosemite, is there any way to see a list of contacts who are not in a particular Group?
I've been using Macs for years, and I still can't believe that this is not a fundamental feature. Sure, it's good to know which contacts are in a Group. But it's maybe even more important to know which contacts are not in that Group. (Scanning a list of non-members for people who should be members is a simple task. Scanning All Contacts for people who should be in a Group, then checking each and every one to see whether they are in that Group, is a crazy way to spend time. Sure you can dump it out to Excel or something, but...really?) Not having that feature in a contacts-management app is almost unthinkable, and yet...I've been poking around for years to find it in Contacts. So I'm hoping that Yosemite now has it, but I haven't been able to find it.
Sorry to rant. Thanks!

Is there any way to see which calls are forwarded

I have a iphone 5s and I use it for my business. All my office calls are forwarded to my cell phone but I want to be able to tell which phone calls are office calls and which one are personal.

This has nothing to do with Apple or the iPhone.

Is there a way to delineate which songs are not in ANY playlist?

I want to pick up strays in my music library because if it's not in a playlist it probably wont be listened to. Also, I'd like to know which individual songs are spread among many playlists. Any way to see this?

See this -> Not In Any Playlist v1.5
Check there for other scripts which may help you out.

Groups: any way to determine which contacts aren't part of one?

For 99% of my Addressbook entries I create them on my Mac and immediately put them into one of about 7 groups.
Occasionally, I create one on my iPhone and, as far as I know, groups cannot be assigned from there.
When I finally get back to my Mac, I have no idea which entries are not filed under a specific group.
Is there any way (short of remembering) to determine which Addressbook entries aren't part of a group?
Thanks!

Leopard has a new option for creating smart groups based on group membership. I don't have Leopard right in front of me at the moment, but this is basically what you do. Create a smart group, and add rules like "card is not member of (group)". You can add multiple rules like this and require that cards match all of the rules for this group in order to be displayed. If you have more questions about this feel free to send a reply.

Is there any way to see which songs in itunes are linked to an itunes account as a group.

Ok, I know if you view the info on a song you can see if it is tied to a account. I'm wondering if there is a way to see them in a group or have it pulled up uner the view opitions.

I agree that it seems crazy that this can't be done on an iPhone.
Here is the best work around I have found so far.
(It's much quicker and easier to do than to describe.)
In outline, you make an elementary Automator patch
that uses your playlist folder to create a hard coded playlist on iTunes
then just sync across to your iPhone.
1/ Run Automator on your Mac.
2/ In the Automator library select 'Music'.
3/ Under Actions for 'Music' select "Get specified iTunes items" and drag this into the workflow area.
4/ Using the "Get specified iTunes items" widget in the workflow area, press the "add" button.
5/ This allows you to choose from a menu that will include your playlist folder.
6/ Now under Actions for Music select "Add songs to playlist" and drag this into the workflow area
so that the results of the first widget will feed into it.
7/ In the "Add songs to playlist" widget choose "New playlist". Then enter any name for your new playlist.
8/ Run the patch (takes a fraction of a second).
9/ Sync generated playlist to iphone.
Job done.

Is there a way to see which images are linked to .indd files?

After working for this company for the past year and a half I'm accumulating tons of image files. I want to eliminate any superflous images and before I start cleaning house I want to see if there's a way of telling whether or not they're linked to an .indd document. For obvious reasons I don't want to delete a file if it's in use somewhere.
I checked in Bridge, which I rarely use, and I see that you can tell which files are linked from an .indd document, but how about the other way around? If I highlight a .jpeg is there a way to trace if it's linked?
I have a feeling the answer is no, but I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Before I start a new topic, I was wondering if anyone knows if there's a way to save URL's within Indesign. I'm tired of typing out http://ect.ect.ect. or going to the site and copying and pasting the URL over and over. In my documents I don't want to include all the extra slashes and periods so if there's a way to bring up those previously used URL's that would be great.
So, for example in my document it'd say something like, "visit us on the web at adobe.com" but it would link to http://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign/indesign_general
So, instead of having to go back to the website, copy, paste I could load up my list of URL's from another document.
I probably just answered my own question. Feature request, perhaps? Or hopefully I'm missing something.

Any way to see what apps are running in IOS7?

To see what apps were running on my iPhone 4s with IOS 6 all I had to do was double click the main button. Now that I've upgraded, this action brings up a ribbon of all the apps I have. I'm trying to find out why my battery life has shortened considerable with IOS7.

You are not seeing a ribbon of all your apps. Just like under iOS 6, double tapping the Home button will show you your most recently used apps. Most of them are not actually running. Just like under iOS 6, force closing apps will, unless the app is misbehaving, have minimal effect on battery life.
There are some new features of iOS 7 that can result in increased battery use. See this article for some suggestions:

TS1398 Is there any way to see if you are connected via 2.4GHz or 5GHz on the iphone5?

In an area where there are multiple wifi connections, is it possible to see if they are 2.4GHz or 5GHz (or both)?

Yeah, which is helpful if they have id'd their SSID's labeled to id it somehow, but I'd like to be able to see what kind of connection I am getting. I'm doing a job where it would be nice to be able to see this info.
Thanks.

HT201299 Is there any way to see what apps are consuming the iPad's cellular data?

The rapid usage of my cellular data and resulting drain on battery life has been a real issue since iOS6. If I disable cellular data, things improve dramatically. It would sure be nice to know who the culprit is. Any apps to help with this?
Thanks!

Never heard of one - the sandboxed nature of iOS would make it impossible to build an app to do so, since apps are isolated from each other and each others data.
All you can do is the trial and error method.
A couple of iOS features to check though, are
Settings - General - About - Advertising - Limit Ad tracking = ON
Settings - General - About - Diagnostics and Usage - DON'T SEND (checked)
Settings - General - About - Date and Time - Time Zone = OFF (uses location services to check if you've crossed a time zone - unnecessary use of location services if you are not travelling outside of any wifi or cell coverage)
Settings - General - Restrictions - Location Services - System Services - all OFF (these involve transmitting location based data out, ie. from your device).

I have tried to use the deauthorize all and I have already done this once this year, so I have to wat until September.
Maccbook will not power on, so there is no way I can deauthorize using that computer.

You would have to contact itunes support and ask if they will allow anther deauthorize all.

Is ther a way to see which devices are connected?

It shows 3 devices but i have noidea which is which. I have prem. services is that the same as the family plan? I want to be able to have it on my phone, wifes and childs along with a computer. How do i do that and also have them login without using facebook?

Hey there !
So you'll need a separate account for each user as the terms and conditions only allow a Spotify account to be used for one individual. If your daughter and wife don't have a Spotify account of their own, create one one for them using their own e-mail addresses here. When their accounts are created they can then link their Facebook accounts to their Spotify account in their account overview. Once all those accounts are made and set-up, login with account that you want to manage the family plan and head over to the Family Plan page. Since you only need just you and and two other family members select "Me + 2 family members" which will be a total of $19.99/month (pricing varies between countries/currencies). Once the payment is processed you'll be able to add the accounts by inviting them to your plan which will send them an e-mail once selected. You then have to go into those e-mails and click those links to get attached. After that, you are all set!
Those accounts can be logged into as many different clients at the same time, but now they can only have one stream at a time per account and can only have a maximum of three devices that hold music for offline use. For more information on listening offline view this link here.
Let me know if you have any further questions! :)

HT1420 Is there any way to see the computers authorized on my account so that I can deauthorize only the ones that are no longer functioning?

Is there any way to see which computers are authorized on my account so I can deauthorize the one's we don't have anymore?

You can only do that by deauthorizing all computers then re-authorizing the ones you still own.
De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.
Before you get rid of a computer you should do certain things: What to do before selling or giving away your Mac.

How can if figure out which contacts are in both iCloud and on my Mac?

I keep contacts on my Mac and on iCloud. I want to see which ones are in both databases. Some of them automatically "linked" and others did not. The search for showing contacts that are both a member of "my Mac" and a member of "iCloud" does not seem to work. I also want to figure out which contacts are not in a group and this has been difficult as well.

If you change your preferences so that the defaul is not iCloud then you get two sections like this:
When I don't have it set to On My Mac then I only get one section because all of my cards are in the cloud.
