Copy multiple contacts into group

I received an email addressed to about 400 individuals. I want to make all of those addressees members of a new contact group. How can I do that without clicking on each individual name and putting it into the group?

Welcome to the discussions, raccoonpoint. Take a look at Andreas Amann's Mailscripts.

Import multiple contacts into a group from an email message

I have received an email from which I wish to import the additional contacts into my address book.
I used to be able to drag/drop them into my address book all at once, but can't any more.
I have also tried drag/drop into a Numbers file to try to convert to a csv and then import, but it copied all the addresses into a single field and I couldn't get them to separate.
UGH. How can I import multiple contacts into a group in my address book from an email message?

That is a few too many to do one at a time.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

It was easy on my sony ericssonn....do i need to download an app?

There is no group send option like you are looking for.
To send to a group you have to pick each person you want to send to and send as a group that way. Then don't delete that SMS thread and you can reuse it again later.
As for an app, well SMS works via your carrier and the OS, not something an App can do unless the app send the data to them (a third party) and then they relay it to the carrier. Do you really want to be sending your SMS to some 3rd party first?

How do you get your contacts into groups?

When you ask a question, please include the version of Mac OS X on your computer. iOS is not a Mac operating system.
Assuming you are running OS 10.9.1:
Open Contacts. Click File in the menu bar and select New Group. Enter the name of the group in Contacts on the left.
Go back to All Contacts (on the left) then drag and drop the names you want in that group on to the folder you just named.
Repeat as necessary for other groups.
Note that the names remain, as they should, in All Contacts, even after you have added them to a group.. You can delete a group if you want. The names will still remain in All Contacts.

There seems to be no way to do this in either iOS or OSX. Android figured this out and I see no reason why Apple can't give us the capability to group medical contacts for example into an easily accessible group without having to resort to using Dr. as the first part of the last name in order to have them in a convenient group.
There are many posts that ask for this and Apple seems to have no desire to give us something useful in the entire spectrum of software while fiddling around with watches etc.

In the Contacts app in OS X click the "+" at the bottom and choose New Group. Once groups are created just drag the entries into the group list on the left in the Contacts app. You may have to go to the Contacts View menu and click Show Groups.
You cannot create groups in iOS, or assign contacts to groups using the built-in Contacts app. However, there are several 3rd party apps that allow you to move contacts among groups. I use Speed Names, but there are several others that people have told me are easier to use.

You can't create groups in the contacts app on the iPad. See my post in this discussion here for alternatives.

HOW DO I COPY IPHONE CONTACTS INTO MY YAHOO MAIL BOX

JUST WANTED TO COPY MY IPHONE CONTACTS INTO MY YAHOO.COM MAIL CONTACTS, PLS HOW

* "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
* Smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores bookmarks and history in Firefox.
* Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
* Bookmarks and history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.
You will have to visit such a link often enough to make it appear in Most Visited.
You can make the Visit Count column visible in the Bookmarks Manager (Library) via the Views menu.
You can clear all history to reset the visit count.

Copying Multiple Arrays into One Large Array

I'm currently trying to copy multiple character arrays into one larger character array in a method that prints data gathered from a database. Here is my code:
private static void printData(String[] data){
        try {
            int totalLengthOfAllStrings = 0;
            for(int i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
                data[i] += '\n';
                totalLengthOfAllStrings += data.length();
int runningLength = 0;
char[] printArray = new char[totalLengthOfAllStrings];
for(int j = 0; j < data.length; j++) {
char[] tempArray = data[j].toCharArray();
runningLength += tempArray.length;
System.arraycopy(tempArray, 0, printArray, runningLength - 1, tempArray.length);
DocFlavor df = DocFlavor.CHAR_ARRAY.TEXT_PLAIN;
Doc printDoc = new SimpleDoc(printArray, df, null);
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(new Copies(1));
aset.add(MediaSize.NA.LETTER);
aset.add(Sides.DUPLEX);
PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(df, aset);
if (services.length > 0) {
DocPrintJob job = services[0].createPrintJob();
try {
job.print(printDoc, aset);
System.out.println("Print successful!");
catch (PrintException pe) {
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
I keep getting an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException and for the life of me I can't figure out why.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks!

I think your problem lies with the second for loop:
for(int j = 0; j < data.length; j++) {
    char[] tempArray = data[j].toCharArray();
    runningLength += tempArray.length;
    System.arraycopy(tempArray, 0, printArray, runningLength - 1, tempArray.length);
}If I am not wrong, you should swap the sequence of the runningLength and System.arraycopy statements, and also move the minus 1 from arraycopy statement to the runningLength statement. The result would look like this:
for(int j = 0; j < data.length; j++) {
    char[] tempArray = data[j].toCharArray();
    System.arraycopy(tempArray, 0, printArray, runningLength, tempArray.length);    // swapped and removed the -1
    runningLength += tempArray.length - 1;    // swapped and appended the -1
}The main reason for these changes is because when j == data.length - 1, the value of runningLength would have already exceeded the size of printArray. Therefore, swapping the position would be able to overcome this problem.

Import Contacts into Group

1st of all, besides paying for MobileMe, there isn't any way to sync Address Book across Macs, is there? I will be upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard any day now... any pleasant surprises in this regard?
So assuming no to my above questions, is there a way to import contacts into a certain group? I use groups in Address Book like different phone books to organize contacts. I need to import & merge a group on 1 Mac to another. Right now when I do this, it puts them in All. This means I would have to search the newly imported contacts one by one and manually drop them into the group.

How do you get the vCards into their own folder when importing? I just noticed there is a Group called Last Import that has my import test contacts in it. Looks like I can shift click all those contacts & drag them into the group.
Now if I had 2 separate groups on the other computer that needed to be kept separate & dragged into 2 separate groups on the new computer, how would I handle that?

Contacts into groups

The contacts catorgories in Outlook 2003 won't sync into
groups in Iphone.
any help welcome
chas

I can't use iCloud because my computer is running 10.6.8 and can't go to 10.7 (older machine). Otherwise this wouldn't be a problem. I have individual contacts and I have contact groups, both on my iPhone. I want to do some housecleaning and put individual contacts into specific groups. I can't figure out HOW to do this. Can't do it on the iPhone, can't access iCloud Contacts. Do I use the Mac Address Book? I can't figure out how to sync that with my iPhone either.
Thanks!

Have issues with Contact locking up while dragging contact into Group

After creating a new Group in iCloud-Contacts, while dragging and dropping new contacts into the group, the browser locks up each time I try to drag a new contact into the group.
Browser: Firefox 10.0.1

I am also having a similar problem with my 13 " macbook pro purchased in Aug 2011. I took the same to
m/s Unicorn Infosolutions Pvt Ltd , Mumbai ( authorised service centre for apple). They first checked it and said that it was a hardware problem and I will have to keep the MBP with them till they get the replacement part from Bangalore and the repair would be free of cost since it was under warranty. So far so good. Then late in the evening , they called me up to inform that there was liquid found inside and the mother board would have to be repaced and the same would cost Rs 64,000/- which is slightly less than the cost of a new mbp.
Unable to understand the formation of liquid since the time they checked up in the morning and their discovery in the late evening.
They probably had a change of heart regarding replacement of the part under warranty.
Apple should take serious action against such firms which indulge in such unscrupulous activities.
Now I am left high and dry since apart from scrapping my new MBP, my data is also lost.
Hope Apple can come out with a solution for this problem and replace/rectify the machine.

Steps to copy iPhone contacts into Outlook ?

What are the set-up steps to copy my iPhone contacts into Outlook please ?

Thank you very much ! But unfortunately the "Sync Contacts" does NOT have a Box for me to check, but it does only for e-mail Accounts. Could this be because, as it says, that my iPhone is being synced over the air ?

Multiple Contacts into a group?

I would like to create a "group" contact of 9 members who are also individual contacts in the iphone. I want to be able to just click one entry in the contact list to send text messages to. Any ideas on how to do this? I tried to just add all of the individual phone numbers, but then when I want to sent a text, I still need to enter each number from that "group" contact.

Once you have sent the first SMS to a group of people, it will remain in your message list as a sent message
To send another one to the same group you just select that group again and type your message.
It will go to the same group of numbers
In summary, you select the group from the SMS app, not the Contacts app

Can't drag and drop individual contact into group?

I upgraded from SL to Lion. In the address books, I still have the individual contacts as well as groups. However, when I add new individual contacts and then drag them into a pre-existing group, it doesn't work. In fact, I can't figure out how to add new contacts to the groups. When I try to great a new group, it gives it the name "untitled" and I can't figure out how to change it or delete it (the delete option is greyed out in the edit menu).
Can anyone help?
Also, is there a way of restoring the three pane view instead of the present two pane view?
Thanks!

I need an answer to this, too! There seems to be no way to move contacts around unless you start new groups!
HELP! I'm beginning to be sorry I switched to Lion...

OWA - Bulk Import of Contacts into Group

What is an option for importing a list of email addresses into OWA Contact Group/creating OWA Contact Group and pasting members' mail addresses into it? Similarly, if I create a new folder in My Contacts, how I can bulk import into this new folder? When
I use Import Contacts standard OWA feature, contacts always imported into default Contacts folder?

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, there is no feature available in OWA 2013 for you to import Contacts. Please refer to the following article to import Contacts or Contact Group from Outlook 2013 to have a try:
