Better Contacts Manager app, sort by company?

I am a sole proprietor (not needing a shared database) looking for a basic Contacts Manager app (for OSX primarily) that allows contacts to be organized by company. Also, for new contacts at any organization to be added without having to manually key in all common data for each new contact. (both the preceding are not features offered in current Apple Contacts) The ability to generate a CSV database is important.
Apple Contacts requires that all fields for new contacts be entered manually, no simple copy/paste feature for adding new contacts within the same company. Yes, I have found awkward work-arounds that don't really work. Most personal contact manager apps seem to be written for IOS and those for OSX are often complex & expensive (many require a monthly subscription). Many apps listed on review sites are no longer developed, or still in beta.
The desired features above would seem to be a no-brainer, but I have spent hours fruitlessly seeking a simple workable solution.
thanks in advance

Contacts will sort by company if the Company checkbox is checked in the card.
To add multiple contacts to the same company I just duplicate a card from the company and edit the name, telephone number and email as needed.
To get just the companies to display create a Group, Businesses or Companies, and add all company cards to it.  Click on the group and you have only the cards you want.

  • Whatsapp and Contact Management App Problems After iso6 Upgrade

    Dear Apple Support,
    I have a problem here! As soon as I upgraded my iPhone to iso6, all my contact management app as well as Whatsapp messaging app's contacts were gone. I would like to find out what has happened to the contact sync with other apps as the phone contact I sync with iCloud seem intact. I hope the developers can come up with a solution to work closely with Apple on this.
    So far all upgrades were perfect, wonder what went wrong with iso6? A big disappointment for a Apple Fan like myself to face this problem and it seems to be Major to many of us here. Please do something Apple... ...!

    Pal,
    you're actually upgrading 6 support pack levels (btw., why SP10 - SP11 is available, too...), so please be sure to follow all the post-installation steps outlined here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c0f0e585-1f57-2b10-ac80-8f6c37b9453a
    The UME roles are included in the VIRACCNTNT*.SAR file, it is recommended you upload those with every support pack (import into UME).
    Regarding Mitigating Controls: try to generate one in DEV and see what the difference to SP04 is - it's probably just visual.
    Frank.

  • Seeking recommendations for contact management app

    I'm looking for a great professional contact management app for use on ipad, iphone, and Mac.
    Need base functionality:
    Import 1,000 contacts from .csv file
    Contact tracking (history and details of discussions), ticklers (reminders for next contact)
    Search and filter functionality
    Nice to have:  custom fields
    Thanks for suggestions!
    Lynne

    I do a lot of counselling about a very complicated and dynamic subject.  Right now I have to lug 20-30 pounds of reference texts from point A to point B to point C.  I bought the iPad Air in hopes I could store this material in the tablet.  But the reference material is complicated -- I guess I said that -- and I need lots of words to clarify what the subject is of each pamphlet and brochure, etc, before I can clearly differentiate one from the other.  Imagine I have documents A, B and C.  In the best of all worlds I would see a metadata display that looked like this:
    File A -- Comments
    File B -- Comments
    File C -- Comments
    Taking the filenames and the comments together I decide I need to look at C. I tap that and it displays.
    That is the best of worlds.  But I see GR allows me to rewrite filenames and maybe doing that will get me to where I want to go.
    It does seem strange that with all document-handling packages out there there isn't one that allows comments in metadata.  Oh well.
    Thanks again,
    Fred

  • Contacts Display and Sort by Company Name

    I have over 1000 contacts in Outlook which synced wonderfully with my new iPhone.
    Alas, I need to lookup and sort by Company Name. This is a VERY standard method for contacts. The options presented by iphone are first and last name, sigh and tech support had no suggestions and the helpful tech support genttleman could find no 3rd party applications which could help.
    Help!
    I relly like my iPhone, but I need to be able to look up contacts and notes by company.
    Thanks

    I have noticed something useful when entering contacts directly into my iPhone. When entering a contact that I want shown in the list by the company name, I enter the company name first (without entering the "first name" and "last name") and save it. If you do it that way, the little square where the photo would be will change from the blank head to some buildings, and the contact will be listed by the company name. You can then go back and edit to add a first and last name and it will stay listed by company name.
    However, if you enter the last name, first name, and company name all at the same time it will list the entry by the "last name" instead of by the company.
    For example, if I want my son's doctor's office to display as "Arizona Pediatrics" instead of "Dr. John Smith" in the contact list, I would enter the Arizona Pediatrics first, save, and then go back in and add the Dr. John Smith in the last name, first name fields.
    I need to check the manual to see if this is detailed, as I stumbled on it accidentaly, but it's pretty useful.

  • Pages.   Is there a better document management App?

    I have had Pages for a few months.  I downloaded it, knowing it had some editing drawbacks.  But one major irritant is that documents copied to Pages drops text - even whole sections of a WORD document.  Of course, it messes up text in tables but I didn't expect it to drop so much.  Frankly, I am now reluctant to bother with it.
    There are a number of other apps which refer to documents.  But I wonder if there is a recommended one?  I don't want to pay, say, $20.00 and find it to be little better than Pages.
    Thank you.
    Ron

    I've never used pages, but I do use Documents to Go and I've been happy with it. I don't think they have a free version you can play with, however other apps do if you want to try the free version (Lite) to see if they are worth paying for.

    not that i'm aware of, but you could set up a company as a "group."

  • Contact Manager Problem Lenovo A7000

    hii,After the last update Lenovo A7000 contact manager app not working properly. its not showing all my contacts saved on gmail account. Thanks & Regards,Vishal Agarwal

    I have already mentioned this in other discussion thread but was never got noticed by lenovo staff. So once again for your kind infirmation I am explaining about this issue. After the s142 update any new contact added under the Google account is not getting synced to google servers though in setting-> accounts-> google accounts its always showing synced recently but changes don't get updated on the server. This is another serious issue in s142 update. Pls don't let it unnoticed. My humble request to lenovo staff is to kindly look into this matter . At least acknowledge this issue. I don't know how else I can bring this issue to your notice. People will loose each and every contacts added after this update.
    PS: Issue exist even after factory reset.

  • IOS changes contact from sorted by company to first name when edit is hit

    Can anyone tell me how to stop iOS from changing to sort by name when edit is hit? 
    Scenario:  Contact has first name, last name and company.  In OSX I hit edit and check the company box.  The contact now sorts by company name.  I then go into iOS to that same contact and hit edit and then done.  The contact now sorts by name and there is no way to undo this that I can find in iOS.  There is no company check box and iOS defaults to sort by name automatically.  Which means that any information I edit on my iphone or ipad will get miscatagorized by simply tapping the edit key. 
    Help!!!

    I would ask, why are you going into the same contact in iOS if you have already edited it in OS X? But then, I digress.
    True, there is only two settings for sorting contacts in iOS, Last Name or First name. The same as display. When you have a name and Company, it will only sort by name.
    You can provide feedback to Apple if you would like to see this feature change by going to www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

  • FDS and Tomcat : Flex Sample App - Contact Manager

    http://localhost:8080/samples/dataservice/contact/contactmgr.mxml
    When loading, I see the contact list load with Randy Carter
    as the default.
    1. Click on New
    2. Fill in my First and Last Name
    I get the following error messages:
    Error
    Unable to access UserTransaction in DataService.
    I followed these directions for Tomcat for installing JOTM
    and editing the conf/server.xml for Tomcat
    http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex:Install_Instructions
    Please advise on how I can get this sample app to be able to
    add new Contact details.

    If you're getting the error message - "Unable to access
    UserTransaction in DataService", then your transaction services is
    not set up correctly. There is not enough detail in your message to
    diagnosis what the issue is but this is what I would recommend and
    the configuration that works for me.
    (a) During development, get in the habit of running the
    server in debug mode and check for errors in the server console and
    logs frequently, especially when you encounter errors on the
    client.
    For FDS, you'll want to set debug level logging in
    enterprise-services.xml. Restart the server after making changes.
    (b) Double-check that JOTM is configured correctly.
    These are the steps I used to get Flex running with Tomcat
    5.5.17 and JOTM 2.0.10 - the latest versions.
    With Tomcat, there are several different ways of configuring
    the server so this is not the only way of doing things. The
    directions under 'Configuring Tomcat' seems to have the most
    details for all versions of Tomcat -
    http://static.raibledesigns.com/downloads/howto-tomcat-jotm.html
    i. drop the JOTM jars into <tomcat>/common/lib
    ii. add the following line to my application configuration
    file <tomcat>/conf/Catalina/localhost/samples.xml
    <Context
    docBase="c:/dev/flex/enterprise/apps/j2ee/samples"
    privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false"
    antiJARLocking="false">
    <Transaction
    factory="org.objectweb.jotm.UserTransactionFactory"
    jotm.timeout="60"/>
    </Context>
    iii. restart the server for good measure, check the logs
    localhost-xxxx.log and catalina-xxx.log to be sure that everything
    started correctly.
    (c) Verify that transactions are working correctly with this
    test JSP page. Just drop the jsp page into your web application and
    access from the browser. If you see an exception, go back to the
    JOTM setup. If you see, 'success'. Then proceed with the contact
    manager example.
    <%@ page import="javax.naming.*,javax.transaction.*" %>
    <%
    Context ctx = new InitialContext();
    UserTransaction tx =
    (UserTransaction)ctx.lookup("java:comp/UserTransaction");
    tx.begin();
    tx.commit();
    %>
    success!
    (d) Run the contact manager sample and try to update a
    contact. If you see "Unable to access UserTransaction in
    DataService", then check the server console and server logs for
    errors and/or exceptions.

  • I looked in app store: can't find a basic name, address, phone contact manager

    I need another contact manager  (separate from the one that comes with the iphone 4S)
    Any ideas?  need following fields:  name, phone, email, and a note section for general info.

    Why do you need a separate contact manager?  All of your requirements are met in the iOS contact app.

  • Disallow app access to Calendar and Contacts by app in Profile Manager

    Is there a method to disallow app access to Calendar and Contacts by app within a profile and push that out via Profile Manager?
    I'm aware that you can do this on the device itself but I'd like to enforce policy.
    I'm guessing I'd need a custom profile.
    Thanks
    Tim

    Create a profile that contains an Restrictions profile and add thoase apps to the list of app you want to restrict.

  • New to Apple.  Any suggestions for a contact mgmt. app for Mac similar to ACT?

    I am totally new on Apple products.  Can anyone suggest if there is a comparable product such as ACT or Goldmine for Customer Contact Management purpose?  I am excited about the simplicity of "Contacts" on Mac compared to ACT or some of the more complex programs where we never use all those fancy features.  I am not fully aware of Apple's "Contacts" program capabilities yet. 
    I run a small business and need some basic features such as being able to sort contacts based on City, type of client, or any other fields, so I can create reports and use the list for marketing purposes, etc.
    I will greatly appreciate if anyone has suggestions on the following two items:
    How to migrate my ACT contacts easity into either iCloud or on my new Mac?
    Any tutorials that I can look at how small businesses are using the Mac contacts database?
    Thank you so much for your help!

    Daylite from Marketcircle is probaby the best bet: It's a full-fledged CRM solution.  It will work for a single person, though it's most targeted at small workgroups (5-50 people).

  • Business Contact Manager 2013 Issue with drop down menus not working correctly and BCM disappearing.

    We upgraded from BCM 2007 to BCM 2013.  Now the BCM disappears from Outlook occasionally and the drop down menus are confused. for instance when accessing the drop down for phone numbers, the user selects company - but the field for TTY/TDD comes up.
    Shows fields that don't exist etc.
    The client is using Office 2013 Pro Premium from Office 365 Small Business Premium subscription and BCM downloaded from Microsoft website.
    Please let me know what the support avenues are for this product.
    Chris Smith

    Hi,
    This issue may be caused since the BCM was not installed properly.
    Please go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features, find Business Contact Manager for Microsoft Outlook and Uninstall it.
    Then go to
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36513, download the right version of BCM(32bit or 64bit) and install it.
    If issue persists, you may provide the screenshots of the issue, post them to SkyDrive and share it via a link:https://skydrive.live.com/, then we will have a better understanding on the issue.

  • ** CONTACT MANAGER and CONTACT CATEGORIES **

    I am a 9930 owner. Is there any discussion about fixing the Contact Manager in the new OS to include more of vCard fields as in BB OS version 7x and prior? We need Contact Categories field in the Contact Manager and the tight integration with MS Outlook(not limited cloud version of Outlook). For me the Blackberry Classic is not just about the keyboard. The superior business functionality (--in BB OS version 7x and prior--) of the Contact Manager set Blackberry apart from the rest. Please get this fixed. 
    Best regards,

    Yes yes and yes...hope you have better luck at getting some credible answers. I've been asking for same since the launch of OS10. Have yet to get any sort of formal response. I so miss some of the basic functions from OS7 !!

  • Basic flowcharting/project-management app?

    As a small business owner, I'm discovering that lists are just not enough to help me track my deliverables, deadlines, and dependencies.  
    I'd love an app that graphically displays my short- and medium-term goals and sub-tasks  - basically a very scaled down version of MS Project.
    The main contender I've found so far is Pagico - I'm trying out the free version.  Pagico's flowchart functionality, while much better than nothing, seems limited.  I don't think it manages dependencies, and it seems to look ahead only one month.
    What other low end flowchart and project management apps exist for the Mac?  Surely there must be something between Pagico's $20 price point and the professional $150+  project management tools?
    Thanks.

    If you happen to use Microsoft Office 2004, the Project Manager in Entourage is actually quite good. I started using it a few weeks ago.
    There are a bunch of open source web based project managers that you could setup pretty easily on your system as well. That with the use of MAMP, you could easily setup something up for free in no time.
    I did run across this this which was directed towards writers, when i was looking for some sort of project manager a few weeks ago.
