How do I create groups in my address book

I recently upgraded to an iPhone. Can groups of contacts be made on iPhone 4 or iPad? I cannot sync with my Mac computer because the operating system is old...Previously I was able to create Groups in my Address Book and then sync with my iphone 3.

Sorry No you can't.
If you have groups in the Address book on a Mac they will sync to your iPad.
Apps are available that might help see.

HT2486 How do I create a second, separate address book on Mac?

How do I create a second, separate address book on my iMac? Is it possible?

Unless you are willing to continually do an export of one contacts database and import of the other, switching back and forth, you'll either need to use some third-party contacts application or maintain two separate user accounts in Mac OS X. The built-in Address Book/Contacts application does not allow multiple address books.
Regards.

How can I make groups on my address book?

I have an iphone 5c. I am trying to make a group in my address book. I need to be able to send a message to a group but have the members of the group respond to me only. At this point, every message I send to them is getting read by them but then they send a response to the entire group. It's annoying when not all the members need to hear what is being said.

FYI - this is the Using iPhone > Mail discussions group.
At the Address Book menu bar, go to File > Export and select Address Book Archive.
Transfer the exported Address Book Archive file to your new Mac.
At the Address Book menu bar on your new Mac, go to File > Import and select the Address Book Archive file that was exported from your other Mac.

How do we create two completely separate address books?

Under our mailboxes folder, we have created two separate email accounts. How do we create an address book for each email account? (they need to be completely separate from each other)

This is easy. You can do an export (backup) and import of the address book. So get one you like, export it. Create a new one, export it. Now just import the one you want to work with. Just be sure to export it again before you import the other one, in case you have made changes.
I do this for separate mailing lists, etc.

How do you bcc groups from the address book in MAC OS X?

I am tryign to do a group email from the address book in MAC OS X, everytime I highlight and drag the contacts to my email they don't attached. The only way it appears to work is when I email group but this goes into the TO field.
Any ideas in what I can do?

Mea culpa. Yes, the Cc/Bcc disclosure button IS to the left. I mis-typed that. (stupid keyboard!)
I'm at a loss as to why this is not working for you.
I will tell you the versions of the players involoved that I am using are:
• OS X 10.8.1
• Mail 6.0
• Contacts (Address Book) 7.0
And while I realize that you are running OS X 10.7.4, the process has been similar for some time now.
I would run Software Update and make sure that my System, Mail and Address Book apps are all up to date. That is NOT to say you should upgrade to Mt. Lion, just ensure that there are no outstanding updates available for your current setup.
Then run Disk Utility and perform the Repair Permissions routine on your startup disk. When that process is finished, reboot your machine and run the Mail app again.
It would be nice if it's just a permissions issue or can be fixed with a software update. Let us know if any of this helps.

I have created a group in my address book, but when I try to use it to send out a group email, only a comma shows up. How do I send out an email using my new group contact list?

I have created a group in my address book, but when I try to use it to send mail, only a comma shows up. How can I send mail using my new group? I have an IMac with OSLion.

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 do I create groups in Mail and add contacts to that group?

How do I create groups in Mail and then add contacts to that group?

Look in Mail > Preferences > Composing tab > If you want all the email addresses to show, check "When sending to a group, show all member addresses". If unchecked, just the groupname should appear.
If it still doesn't work then review the email addresses for each of the group members looking for errors in format.
Also, clean up the list in previous recipients in Mail > Window > Previous Recipients.

How do I send a group from my address book to someone else?

How do I SEND A GROUP FROM MY ADDRESS BOOK TO SOMEONE ELSE.

Yes you can by creating a group and then dragging the contacts in to it. However, since iCloud, the Edit Distribution List feature has been grayed out. Without that feature, it is not possible to specifically select a single email address for those contacts that have multiple email addresses. A major flaw that will hopefully be fixed.

How can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

how can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?

You used to be able to do this through leaving unchecked the box in preferences "when sending to a group show all member addresses". However, that feature failed some time ago (two or three years?) and the only way to hide the addresses now is to put the group in the BCC field.

How do i create a new email address?

how do i create a new email address in Mail?

Have you already established a new email account with an email provider such as Apple, Yahoo, Google, etc.? From the email provider you will need to know the email address ([email protected]), and the password for the account. If this is a common used provider such as iCLoud, MS Exchange, Google, Yahoo, or AOL that is all you will need to know Mail will fill in the rest of the information automatically. For other accounts you will need to know the acount type (POP3 or IMAP), the URL for the POP or IMAP server, the security type for the server, the URL for the outgoing email server (SMTP) and the security type for it. Don't panic over all this, most email providers have instructions on their site for setting up Apple Mail -- you just have to find it.
Once you have the information together, open Mail then on the menu bar at the top of the screen select Mail > Preferences > Accounts. Click on the plus sign at the bottom of the list of accounts and start by entering your new email address and password. Mail will then attempt to fill in the rest of the information it needs. If it is unable to do so, you will have to fill in the information yourself hopefully following the instructions provided by the email provider.

I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
More information on aliases here:

If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

How do I get the groups in my address book to my contact lists in Mail

The groups in my address book are displayed in my contacts list in Mail

Hi. I honestly am not sure how I transferred it (I am dealing with several issues in getting the new iMac set up right now) . . . I think I exported from one and imported to the other. Maybe that is why the notes did not come over even though the contacts did. But I tried your method and it seemed to work so thatnk you very much!
