Can groups of contacts be contained within a master group in the address book? I used to be able to do this but it no longer seems possible.

Sometimes I want to email everyone in the gorup, sometimes only one or two subgroups.
By defining subgroups of activities it is easier to keep members up to date in those groups.

You seem to be missing the Tools and Help menu items on the Menu bar.
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Trouble with forwarding emails. Can't seem to find a way to get rid of previous senders' email addresses before myself forwarding on the email. I used to be able to do this before I upgraded. Any ideas?

Current Firefox versions have enabled a new build-in PDF Viewer and that viewer doesn't have all the features that the Adobe Reader has.
You can change the action for Portable Document Format (PDF) from Preview in Firefox to use the Adobe Reader or set to Always Ask.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file
You can set the pdfjs.disabled pref to true on the about:config page to completely disable the build-in PDF viewer and use the Adobe Reader instead.

Changes I make to contacts on my touch will not sync with the address Book on my mac.

I have made changes to my contacts on my touch , but since I have gone to ios5 and icloud, the changes show up on my ipad, but wont sync with my mac.
Don't know what I am doing wrong, any suggestions?

Check in Settings > iCloud that Contacts is on (green) in both devices. If that isn't it, the following may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998

How do I delete contacts from the address book?

Purchased a new MacBook Pro and iphone4 yesterday. The phone has several hundred contacts that I no longer need. How do I deleted the contacts that I don't need anylonger from the address book on my MacBook? There are still several hundred that I need to keep. I don't see an easy way to delete them on the computor. I can't imagine that I'd have to go through one by one on my iphone.........seriously?

On the MBpro, click on the card to delete or mark several in a row by holding Shift down/up arrow. Then hit the delete key on the keyboard.

Lync client can't fetch the address book files

Hi,
We have 3 FE Lync 2010 servers. All the clients are giving an error "cannot synchronize with the corporate address book".
I can access Internal Web services URL and download the AB file. I have also made an entry for Lync Internal web services in the host file and signed into the Lync. Then the client was able
to download the Address book files successfully. Any ideas to resolve this.?
Thank you !

Force a contact list update to make sure that your information is synchronized. To this, follow these steps:
Locate one of the following folders, depending on your operating system:
For Lync 2013:
Windows 7 and Windows 8: %localappdata%\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\sip_<sign-in name>
For Lync 2010:
Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista: %localappdata%\Microsoft\Communicator\sip_<sign-in name>
Windows XP: %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data \Microsoft\Communicator\sip_<sign-in name>
Delete the following files:
Galcontacts.db
galcontacts.db.idx
CoreContact.cache
ABS_<sign-in name>.cache
Mfugroup.cache
PersonalLISDB.cache
PresencePhoto.cache
Restart Lync, and then wait for 30 minutes for resynchronization to finish

HT204150 I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help

I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help?

Also, what are the source of your contacts? are they created on the phone, or you synced from yahoo/hotmail etc.
If thats the case, the circular arrow wont be visible but instead show "groups"
Contacts from different accounts are not synced to iCloud.

Selected under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes.
With such a question, you should spend some time with the user guide.

I am trying to create a group in the address book. When I drag over the contacts from the contact list they duplicate in the address book. I am using "Lion"

When I try to create a group from the address book, when I drag over the names from the contact list, the names duplicate in the address book.

Hi cavu10horses,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has instructions for changing a contact's photo using a photo from iPhoto's Faces feature:
Contacts: Add or change contact pictures
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11580
Select a contact or your own card, and then double-click the picture well.
Select a picture:
Drag an image to the picture well.
Click Camera to take a picture.
If you have pictures in iPhoto, click the Faces button to use a face from iPhoto.
If the contact is linked (it’s in multiple accounts, but displayed only once in Contacts) and has multiple account pictures, click Linked.
Click Edit to edit the picture.
To zoom in and out of the picture, drag the slider. Drag the picture to change which part of it is visible.
To rotate the picture, hold down the Option key while you click and drag the picture.
To apply special effects, click the Effects Gallery button and choose an effect.
Click Done.
Cheers,
- Ari

I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when i try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported

Thanks,

If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts. There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

HT2486 I can't get the address book (Contacts) to work on my computer.

Everything is on my phone but not on the computer. Can't add anything to the address book on my computer. I have everything set to back up to the computer from my phone but it doesn't.
Can anyone help with this issue.

Hi jackie1b,
Thank you for your reply,
I see you do not wish to purchase the adapter online and are having difficulty locating one locally. I Googled DVI adapter at Staples.com and they carry the cables. You can try any computer shop or office depot, staples any place like that, they usually carry the accessories, if not if you spoke with a sales person, they would most likely order it for you. They would also be able to assist you with getting the correct cable for your situation. They also produce cables with different connection on either end, you could also check into.
Here are two document that I hope will be of assistance to you. No Sound from the Speakers or Headphones (Windows 7) and Connecting Monitors and TVs to Your PC (Windows 7).

How can I sync the address book from Mail to my Address book?

Ok, I open a new message and click on the Address Book icon in the new message to find my contacts on the address book, I choose the group I am looking for and the group has people on it that I have already deleted from my address book! How can I sync the address book from Mail to my Address book?

It is using the same database on disk. You may have to re-launch Mail.

Why are none of the groups in my Address Book showing up the address book tool in the new message window in Mail? Actually how do I get the two to match?

I seem to have lost the groups from my Address Book in the address book tool in Mail. When I try to address a new email, all my contacts are grouped under all and the other groups found in my Address Book application are missing. Is there a way to get the groups to show up in the address book within Mail?

When you make changes in AB, quit Mail for the changes to be added to Mail's database file. Reopen Mail and try it.

Why is the Address Book app slow to update my contacts?

When I try to import my Google contacts into my Mac Address Book via vCard (.vcf) format, Address Book app takes an eternity to finish updating (like a half hour or more), during which I cannot do anything else in the Address Book.
The last time I tried to do so, yesterday, my entire system became extremely slow and I had to restart the computer. BTW, I use Mac OS X v. 10.7.5 (Lion).
I also notice that searching for contacts within the Address Book is an extremely slow process. I begin to type a name and the program is very sluggish to respond or display anything, forcing me to type very slowly.
What can I do to resolve these issues so I can update and search for my contacts in the Address Book within reasonable amounts of time?

you have a 4G iPod. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

How do you import contacts if you didn't export from old OSX Address Book?

I have a bootable backup of my old PowerBook's system, but I did not export the contacts into one of the formats needed for import. And the bootable backup will not boot my new PowerBook.
I can find no method to import contacts after the fact.

With the Address Book quit on your new PowerBook, locate the AddressBook folder on your backup of the old system which is located in your Home folder/directory at Home > Library > Application Support > AddressBook.
Copy the backup copy of the AddressBook folder and place the copy at Home > Library > Application Support on your new Mac. If there is an existing AddressBook folder within the Application Support folder on your new Mac, this will replace it.
Launch Address Book on your new Mac and all Address Book contacts should be completely restored along with the list of Previous Recipients in Mail.

Can groups of contacts be contained within a master group in the address book? I used to be able to do this but it no longer seems possible.
