How can I migrate my group lists with my address book?

I have moved from Windows XP to Ubuntu (YEAH!). I was using TB in XP and I was able to successfully move my address book with all of my contacts' information by copying and pasting the abook.mab file. But I seem to have lost (or at least I am currently missing) the group lists that I had created using that address book. Where is that information stored and how do I transfer it to TB in Ubuntu? Is it as simple as copying another certain file or will I have to extract and then import some information from some file(s)? Those group lists were almost as important as the address book itself and I made the assumption (yes, I know!) that the group list info was integral to the address book itself. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

No, I did not export and then import the address book. I just copied the .mab file. Is that what I have to do? Is there another file, or portion thereof, that I can just copy across? I have all those #appdata# files saved, but i do not have Windows running anymore. I have also now noticed that my "Collected Addresses" were not contained in the abook.mab file either. It would be good if I could recover them too.
Thanks again for any help. Much appreciated!

How can I send someone a 'list' from my address book?

I see that you can't from one of the previous answers. So I tried to 'export' the 'list'. I don't see how you can do that. If I highlite the list, it exports the entire address book (1600+0 items and I can't edit that down to my 40 member list. So what else can I do?

Try this add-on: https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html
According to its author's webpage:
''- gives the possibility to import and export a single contact or a list;''
And this very evening I have used it myself to export an address book whilst investigating a query about sending to multiple addresses. The add-on let me export a Mailing List so I could create a file containing a list of valid email addresses.

How can I email a group list from my contacts/Mac address book?

I love the Apple address book for making media lists for my PR business because it enables me to add dates and actions. But when a client wants to see the list via email, I'm flummoxed. I've been rewriting as a Word document, but that eliminates the convenience of Address Book. I could print, scan, and send,but that's cumbersome. If we can share a contact, why can't we share a Group list? Or, am I missing something simple?
Thanks!

Howdy J-carolyn9,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Take a look at the article linked below, it’ll walk you through the process of printing a group of contacts from Address Book on your Mac.
Mac Basics: Address Book - Apple Support
If you'd like a tangible address book, print out a pocket-sized version of Address Book. Select the names that you want to include from the contacts list, or select a group, and choose Print from the File menu. Click Show Details, and choose Pocket Address Book from the Style pop-up menu, select any other options you want, and click Print.
Ciao,

When connection your iPhone to iTunes, go to the "info"-tab (I think it's called), and check the box "Sync contacts from Address Book". This should do the job.

How can I create a XMP List with multiple selection

Hello,
I try to build my own XMP custom panel. Herefore I need a couple of lists with the possibility for multiple selections (e.g. the choice for one language or multiple languages).
But how is it possible to integrate a list into a panel? There is no XMPList inside the custom folder. I have experimented with the standard mx:list and an array collection for data binding into the list. But how can I write the user selection into an XMP field? Example: In the List the user choose three languages (DE, EN, FR). Is it possible to collect the choice into a string and to write the result into an XMP standard field (e.g. dc:description)?
A further question is, if it's possible to use the "HTTPService" to bind an external xml-file with the languages and other informations into the panel or is it only possible to work with an array collection inside the code?
Here is my code:

Hi Markus,
the FileInfo SDK does not offer a ready-made list component allowing for multi-selection.
So you would need to implement one using the FileInfo SDK API. Your component "XMPList" would inherit from mx:list and would need to implement the XMPRead and XMPWrite events and talk to the XMP using the IXMPAccess interface within those event handlers.
Please have a look at the Programmer's Guide, section "XMP Flex components" and at the API description available in "docs" for further guidanc.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards
Jörg

How can i add a contact to a global address book in exchange 2013 or other global list?

I would like all users in Exchange 2013/Outlook 2013 to use the same addressbook. It must be possible for all users to add or edit extra contacts. I cannot find anywhere how to do this. Sharing an addressbook is not an option but a workaround. Can anyone
tell me how to solve this problem? I created a Global Addesslist named ROLODEX with the Exchange 2013 ECP. This shows up under Outlook 2013, but i cannot add contacts (or even better copy them from my own addresslist). Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe a YouTube
link?

How can I print out a list of email addresses from my address book?

I would like to print out a hard copy of all the email addresses which I have in stored in my address book or are they stored in "mail"? It would come in handy at times especially when using a public computer somwhere.
Thanks, Hans

Hi,
If you have Lion on the computer then all the Contact Info is sent via iCloud to the iOS 5 device which presumably you do take with you.
The Address Book stores the info you have told it.
This tends to be Contacts that you have "Real Names" for in addition to something like an email or iChat Screen Name.
The Mail App does store all contact emails that you have had.
See Window Menu > Previous Recipients.
These are marked as to which are already in the Address Book.
You could select this whole list and copy it to text Edit and Print from there.
I have not tried Printing from the Address Book

How can I copy contact entries from the "Personal Address Book" to a subsidiary list without typing 500 individual entries?

There is about to be a death in the family. I need to establish a mailing list of all immediate family members, but it should not contain *EVERY* entry in either my Personal Address Book or my Collected Addresses. Is there something like a drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste facility to accomplish this task?

Check this article for more information on how to create a mailing list.
When sending a message to 500 recipients you may hit a limit imposed by your email provider.

How can I get my iphone to sync its address book with my mac?

I have iCloud configured to sync my address books, but they don't. I have all my contacts on my phone and want to be able to have them put onto my mac. I've never been able to figure this out. I used to have the sync address books setting selected (before iCloud), and it still never synced. I've read other discussions on this and have tried adding a contact to see if it prompts a message about merging contacts come up, but nothing seems to work. I have tried everything it seems. Any help?

You'll have to use Wi-Fi to sync, Bluetooth is not supported:
You can use iPhone with the Apple Wireless Keyboard and other Bluetooth devices, such as Bluetooth headsets, car kits, and stereo headphones. Third-party Bluetooth headphones may support volume and playback controls. See the documentation that came with your Bluetooth device. For supported Bluetooth profiles, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
From the manual: iphone_user_guide 5 page 109
Use iCloud to keep Contacts up to date on your iOS devices and computers
Go to Settings > iCloud, then turn on Contacts. See “iCloud” on page 17.
