Create folder in address book

Does anyone know how to create a folder in the address book? I do not want to create a group, but an actual folder where multiple contacts can be put into that folder and not exist on the main list of contacts. Any ideas would be great.
Thanks

There is not an option to create folders within the address book. If your device is running OS 4.2.2 or later you can create folders on the home screen to keep applications in. So groups would be the only way to accomplish that you're looking for.

    I just set up a new group and then added myself to the group.  I clicked on send E-mail to group and a message appeared.

  • Is there a Way to create 2 separate address books?

    Perhaps this is an easy question but I am relatively new to Macs. I was wondering if there is a way to create 2 separate address books under the same user profile? I have a palm device and a cell phone and i would like to create a separate book just for isyncing with the cell phone since my phone only holds 500 contacts and the palm holds more. I don't need every palm number on the cell. The only way I can see is to create a separate user profile on the iMac. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance for your help.

    You don't have to include every contact in Address Book in the sync - you can choose to sync just a group. So make two groups, one for the palm and one for the mobile phone. A contact can belong to multiple groups. I THINK (you will have to check yourself) you can have different settings in iSync for the different devices, so just associate each group with the appropriate device.
    One thing to watch out for - if the synchronising process finds a new contact on one of the remote devices, it will make new contact for it in AB, but it won't add it to the group, so you'll have to do that manually.

  • What are the steps to burn a cd of my home folder, my address book and my bookmarks folder? Using OS 10.6.8, iMac 27 inch .

    What are the steps to burn a cd of my home folder, my address book, and my bookmarks?

    Well, I am running Mountain Lion, so I can't send you a screenshot of what SL's would look like, but as far as I remember, Finder windows in column view still look the same. To open a Finder window, simply click on the Finder icon in your Dock. Then click on the little column pic above the "view":
    Once you see your home folder, there is nothing to save - just drag that from the window to the burn folder. It will copy it.
    As for address book, open it, go to Edit: Select all, then go to File > Export:
    Save it to your desktop for easy access.
    Safari Bookmarks:
    File menu > Export bookmarks. Save to desktop.
    Then drag all three files to burn folder.
    Edit: The system is not allowing me to post a screenshot of the Safari File menu window. Will try one more time. Edit again: not working.

  • How do I create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address b

    How do I create a separate Address Book? I'm not asking about a mailing list but an address book where the addresses are not mixed in with my regular address book. I already have three address books created for me by Thunderbird. I add all new addresses to one of those but am afraid to delete the other address books because some of their addresses are not repeated in my "main" address book. So if I don't delete all the names in one of the existing books, I need to create an empty book that will not mix the addresses with those in another address book. HOW DO I CREATE A NEW, EMPTY ADDRESS BOOK? I want to be able to create various mailing LISTS using the addresses in this new book so I will eventually have a special address book with a variety of mailing lists I can use as I wish.

    In 24.4.0 there is no File|New|Address Book. There is File|New|Address Book Contact. How do I create a new address book ?

    This information is correct for Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.
    It's also correct for Outlook if the Outlook Calendars where exported in the ics format.

  • How can I create a new address book in Thunderbird?

    I cannot figure out how to create a brand new address in which to place 'contacts'.

    I repeatedly followed your above instructions and "Address
    book" does NOT appear as a choice. Presently existing address books do appear but not a new address book. Perhaps I have a corrupted file????? I just don't know what to try next, I have already downloaded / installed a new copy of Thunderbird 24.4.0 directly from the Mozilla web site.
    Thanks for your efforts, sorry to bother you again. I'm frustrated!

  • I am sending emails to a Smart Group created in my address book.   The contact in my address book has multiple email addresses.  Is there a way for the email to go to both addresses?  (ex:  work and home email address under one contact)

    In my address book, I have contacts that have multiple email addresses.  (ex:  home and work)   I have created a smart group off of the company name in the contact.  When I send emails, I want it to go to both email address listed in the contact.  Is there a way to make this happen?  Or do I have to have a separate contact for each email address?    

    I will agree with you on this one. Version 31 and all the fixes so far are a mess. Since I have been here answering questions for a little more than a year now I have learned to wait to upgrade until all the dust settles. I see no end to the dust storm version 31 has caused. I am still on version 24.6 and plan on staying there for the duration. At least until the developers comes to their senses and put out a working product.

  • How to create a duplicate address book contact?

    This seems so simple yet I cannot determine how to create a new duplicate address book contact. I have a few contacts from the same company and want to change the variable data instead of re entering the data
    I can create a new contact, copy the data of the record I want to duplicate yet when I paste the info into the new record - address book puts everything into one field.
    Why not a duplicate contact command?
    GRRRR

    Rich,
    According to Address Book Help:
    To duplicate an address card:
    Select an address card.
    Choose Edit > Copy, and then choose Edit > Paste.
    Works for me

  • Creating lists in address book

    Help! I have details in my address book of members of our club together in a group, I wish to create lists for our members showing all details ie address phone nos email etc... with 2 columns on A4 page similar to labels, (cannot do this choosing a label format as it does not give options to add fields).
    The pocket address book is very untidy could not find a way of customizing this(cuts details in half at bottom of page), the 'list' option available only shows 7 people's details per page too many pages to print to give to the members.
    I am a bit of a novice at this, can anyone suggest a solution please?

    Hello Golden Shoes, further to your reply I am disappointed there is not a satisfactory solution to my simple requirement. I managed a result it worked, however I feel it was a bodged one, after a lot of effort & frustration as I am not an expert, in précis I did the following:
    Address book -services- text edit then 'list' in address book (select fields required) then 'open PDF in preview' on desktop - select - edit - copy & paste on the text edit document- save as RTF document.
    I then amended, deleted, made spaces of the information which was shown in one long column. Then used help for 'columns' info.
    Used 3 columns on each page, cut & pasted the information as required. Now I have a list of names & addresses to give to our members on 2 pages only instead of 'list' which is 5.
    I can amend this list as required.
    Laborious, untidy, unsatisfactory, frustrating, it would have been great if a labels format was possible to show addresses, e-mail & phone nos.
    I would be interested in your further comments, thank you.

  • Question about importing from mac mail to folder in address book

    Is it possible to place imported email addresses (Mac email) into specific folder(s) in Address Book rather than into just the All Folder.? For example, I have several business addresses that I want to import from Mac Mail automatically into my Business Folder and several others that I want to go into Friends Folder. Can this be done? If so how? Thanks

    The Address Book database is similar to the iTunes database and iPhoto database.
    If you use iTunes then you know you can't place a song in a playlist without the song being in the primary iTunes database first and the same with iPhoto. You can't place a photo in an album with the photo being in the main iPhoto library first.
    The same with Address Book. You can't place a contact in an Address Book group without the contract being in the primary Address Book "All" Group and I'm not aware of a way to place a contact in the primary All group and in a designated group at the same time.

  • Create an emai@ address book

    HHow do I create an email address book

    The iPad has a built in Contacts App. That is an email address book. I'm guessing that you are asking about how to create groups or distribution lists in the Contacts App. You can't if that's what you mean. You can create groups in iCloud.com for your contacts and even though they will sync to the iPad, they are useless for a distribution list.
    There are third party mail apps that let you create groups. I don't use either of these, but I have suggested them to others in the past.

  • HT2486 Help creating group in address book

    I can not figure out how to create a group in my Mac address book even after exhausting the internet searching for help. I've attached a screen shot of my address book and as you can see I have three selection to choose from in my address book: "All Contacts", On My Mac "All on My Mac", on Mac OS X Server "All on Mac OS X Server" and when I go to add a group it automatically adds the group to On My Mac "All on My Mac" and does not give me a way to add a group under "All Contacts". When I do add a group to "All on My Mac" and click and drag the contacts I want in that group it does not accumulate the contacts it only replaces them as I go. It also adds a duplicate contact into "All Contacts". I am at a loss as to how to add a group with my current address book configuration. Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Those are not groups, they are accounts, On My Mac is local, On Mac OSX Server is a network account. All Contacts does exactly what it says, displays all of your contacts (wherever they are from) in one view.
    To make a new Group in Mail go to the File menu and select 'New Group'
