Cannot move Contacts/Buddies to a different group in Messages

Hi All,
I love the iMessages integration function in Mountain Lion, allows me to have conversations over iMessage easily while I'm at my desktop instead of having to pick up my iPhone everytime someone sends a message to me. I've basically stopped using Adium just for this feature alone and given the Gtalk and YM capability, I really have no need for Adium.
The problem I have is everytime I move a Contact to another group, after a while that contact will revert back to the Buddies Group. Only the contacts that were already grouped prior to my migration to Messages will stay in the groups.
So basically I move those 2 contacts to the Friends group but after a min or so, those 2 contacts would basically move back to the Buddies group. Is there a way to fix this?
I've logged into YM official client as well and those 2 contacts are in the Friends group, both contacts have Gtalk as well.

Hi,
FIrst of all go the the Messages Menu > Preferences > General Section and Untick the item that is linking your two non iMessages accounts into one Buddy list.
Only your Gmail and the HR Republique... ones are displayed together.
If one is Google talk and one is AIM yu will not be able to move the Buddies to another group (the Group may not belong to the Buddy List the Buddy is in)
I have several Accounts that lead to this (and you can only see some of the title bars)

I have also tried to make sure the "Buddies" which appears in several Buddy List by default have been renamed to show where they come from.
Some Buddy lists do not use Groups normally when I have them separated so they get the strange "Non Group Buddies" buddy group added to the list.
Therefore the people in the "Buddies" group may in fact be a mixture of Google Buddies and Republique Buddies (or rather the Combined List is the two Buddies groups even if those two Buddies only belong to one)
However those Buddies may not belong to the Buddy list that owns th "Friends" group
Lets say the Republique Buddy list is an AIM one
And the Friends Group is Google group.
You can't put AIM Buddies in a Google (Or Jabber ) Buddy list
An Example of two Buddy list both with a "Home Use" group but logging in to Jabber and AIM

As I said, separate out the Buddy List and check which Buddies are in which List.

My contacts are organized in different groups. An iPhone trade show app (Vinexpo) displays exhibitors infos and allows to create new contacts. Is there any way to save a new contact in a specified group instead of the contacts root? Thks in advance

My contacts on my iPhone are organized in different groups. I have downloaded a trade show app which gives infos on the exhibitors of the show. It offers to create new contacts from these info. Is there any way to save these new contacts in a specified group instead of putting them into the contacts root, where they are mixed with all the old ones? By the way, can we create a new contacts group directly from the IPhone, without having to go through the sync process with the PC?
Thanks a lot in advance

Sorry, I forgot to bookmark the thread where the app was mentioned, but searching for "group" or "contacts" should bring a few results in the AppStore.

Easily duplicate / paste layer in different group folder?

I design Web sites using Layer Comps so the homepage and innerpage examples are all in one .PSD. This means my Photoshop CC file has TONS of layers and folders that require me to scroll in the Layers Palette.
Is there a way to copy/paste or move a layer to a different group folder without dragging it? Copy/paste for layer styles is a great tool. Is there anything like this for layers themselves?
Sometimes I resort to opening a blank PSD to drag the layer to that, then go back to my source document and auto select the new group I want it in, flip back to the blank doc and drag the layer from there. That is not a great workaround if I want the positioning to be the same as the original layer.
Thanks!

Hi Nik,
use of with() is generally not good, maybe:
http://yuiblog.com/blog/2006/04/11/with-statement-considered-harmful/
without with() it looks like that:
#target illustrator
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
var ln = 'Layer 1';
var ol = docRef.layers.getByName(ln);
var nl = docRef.layers.add();
nl.name = ln+' Copy';
for (var a = ol.pageItems.length-1; a >= 0; a--) {
ol.pageItems[a].duplicate(nl, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING);
the second document is a new document?
var doc2 =app.documents.add();
or you can get it by name just like the layer
or by index
var doc2 = app,documets[ indexnumber ];
then var nl should be:
var nl = doc2.layers.add();

Move contact address from ipod to imac

I cannot move contact address from ipod touch to imac

You can do one of two things:
1) Create a dummy contact in the Mac Address Book (make one up), then sync the iPhone - you'll be prompted to merge or replace - choose Merge.
2) Export the contacts from Outlook or WAB and import them into Address Book. If you're using Outlook, select all the contacts in Outlook, then right-click one of them and select Forward Items. You'll then get an email with all your contacts as individual .vcf files. You can email that to yourself, or just copy all those files to a flash drive.

Cannot move mail to the mail trash

I cannot move mail to the mail trash without a message that says: 65530.emix couldn't be copied to 'messages'because an item with the same name already exists. The mail is transferred to the trash but still remains in the inbox.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Cannot drag contact to group in iCloud contacts

On my iPad 2, I cannot drag a contact from All Contacts to a group, because I can't see the contact and the list of groups at the same time. Where do I set it so I can see both? Also, how can I unmark a contact as a favorite?

I can't move a contact from one group to another either - anyone know a solution?

I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S5 two months ago. I'm still unable to sync or move contacts from the phone into my 2012 Toyota Camry. I've been to the dealership to have them look at my car. It also has been tried in 2 different 2014 models. I don't know if it's a Verizon/Samsung issue but I'm quite upset about it. I would have stayed with the S4 if I had know so many issues were on the horizon. I need a fix. Please help.@

There are several possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps until it's resolved.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article.
2. Reset the System Management Controller.
3. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
4. A swollen battery in a MacBook Pro or Air can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced.
5. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
6. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
7. If none of the above applies, or if you have good reason to think your computer is being controlled remotely, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi, disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop immediately, you should suspect an intrusion.

On iPhone move contact from one group to another

Still don't see an app (or ability in native Contacts app on iPhone using ios5) to move a contact from All Contacts to another established group. Is this possible without syncing with my Addressbook program only MacBook?

Email the contact to yourself (share contact).
In the contacts app, make sure you are in the proper group.
Import the contact. It should be added to the group you selected in the previous step.
Now go check the contact is in the correct group, and if so, delete the one in the old group.

Is there a way to create different groups for my contacts using the installed contact app

I am trying to make a group on my contacts. So that it's easier to just make messages to people and not having to make group messages every single time. For example, making a group for a sports team so that I can just message everyone in the group at once.

No not possible but you can create contact groups at www.icloud.com and if you have contact synced thru cloud the groups you make at www.icloud.com will appear on your phone

How do I share my contacts with more than one group? I really don't want to have re-type them into a different group. Help!

How do I share my contacts with more than one group without having to re-type them into each group?

Without "pretending" to be yourself on the other phone (change settings) there's nothing else you can do.
iOS devices are meant to be single user and can't view iCloud.com the same way a Mac or PC can do.
You need to find a desktop or laptop machine (Mac or PC) to log in at iCloud.

Active Directory does not exist or cannot be contacted

Hi: We have a server 2008R2 x64 bit. The DC is an server 2008sp2. Single domain.local On trying to install Exchange 2010 we get a series of errors:
1. AD doesn't exist or cannot be contacted
2. must be a member of organization Management role or enterprise admins
3. The credential for machine|Administrator is not on bind
4. The user is not logged on to a windows domain.
DCDiag >> no errors. Have read through a lot of posts with these errros but most apply to server 2003 where there were tools used not available in 2008. Help is greatly appreciated. Chris

Hello Chris,
Are you installing Exchange 2010 on the same server that is a domain controller? if this is a different member server, please post the complete ipconfig /all
Make sure the domain controller is a global catalog server
make sure DNS is functioning well dcdiag /test:dns
You donot need to manually add admin to all these groups as exhange 2010 will do this automatically as long as the account you are using is and administrator and a member of the schema/enterprise admins group

Where should I look to find out how to unmerge and keep separate 2 Contact lists from 2 different iPhones syncing to the same iMac?

I am a relatively new iMac user (2009), but don't use the computer for much beyond basic communication and media functionality (internet, iTunes, iPhoto, syncing iPhones, etc.). I have a new iPhone 4S (switched from a Droid) and my wife has an iPhone 4. When I was using the Droid I was not syncing my contact info or any other information through my iMac. Once I moved to the 4S and transferred all of my contact information, I set up my Contacts to sync with the iMac, and also set up my wife's iPhone to do the same. Now we have one master Contact list, so all her Contacts are on my phone, and all mine are on hers. I don't necessarily want all this extra data on my iPhone.
Another relevant fact is that my wife uses my iTunes login info for her phone, i.e., for app and music purchases, etc. I wonder if this may have something to do with it?
What do I need to do to separate our profiles? I am happy to do some searching within the community but did not even know where to start.
Thank you!

i have 2 separate IDs and also 2 separate itunes library hoping the contacts won't sync and mix together but both libraries only syncs from/to the same address book in my MBP. i cant separate the separate the contacts in the address book unless i manually move our hundreds of of contacts into different groups then sync from only my group.... but thats just too much... any easier way?
