How do I tell what GROUP an address book CARD is located in?

Any help would be appreciated:
When I look at my address book I use the 'CARD AND COLUMNS' view; I usually have it preselected to 'all groups' and do searches there; my question is this; is there an easy way to display what group a selected card is attached to? I can't seem to find an elegant way to do this...
Thanks. Ger

Thanks for the INFO!!

How do I isolate a group in address book - or other solution

History: I used my MAC to print Christmas card envelopes and wanted them to be addressed as "The Smith Family" but I do not want the original contact card to read that way. I set up a new "group" that was my Christmas card list and copied all the addresses over but, when I change the name it changes it in all groups.
Is there any way to isolate a group within address book so I can keep a different name on the same card?
If not, is there a field or way that I can print a different name than what is on the v-card? Another annoyance is that I used the "children" field but, when I printed an envelope it added them tot he end in a senseless fashion. I had to move all "family" information to the general comments.
Thanks in advance.

There is only one set of data for each contact. A group is, effectively, a list of contacts, rather than a copy of a set of contact data. When you change a contact's details in a group you are making the change in the only copy of the contact's data.
One suggestion for address labels recently was to put eg The Smith Family in the company field, and at Christmas time run quickly through the cards marking the company flag - this could be easily automated in Applescript.
Even though it goes against the grain to have multiple copies of information, I keep the details for Christmas cards in a separate Excel spreadsheet. Address Book I use for email addresses and phone numbers.

Mac OS X v10.7 Lion How to Tell Which Groups an Address Book Entry Is In?

Under Snow Leopard's address book, I could press the Option key and it would highlight which groups the selected address book entry was in. How do I do that with Lion's address book?

Hey Mr. Picasso,
You need to be in "Groups" View in Address Book. Hit Command-3 to get there.
Then click (highlight) an address book entry on the right hand page.
Next, hit the Option key. The groups that the entry belongs to will highlight in blue on the left hand page.
BTW, to me the "highlight in blue text" is badly chosen by Apple, 'cause it is hardly discernable from the other "black on white" texts. No way to change it, AFAIK. The old "yellow highlight" worked much better, IMHO.

How can I get smart group in address book to email?

Hi
I'm trying to send an email out to a smart group I created which has about 150 members. I right click send email while in the address book. The group ends up in the 'To:' field. I do a 'cmd A' to select all and move them to the 'bcc' field. I put my email address in the 'To' field. I create the subject line and body text which containes a url and an image with a url link.
When I press send it immediately moves to my outbox and sits there with no activity showing in the MAIL ACTIVITY preview pane.... I've left it for quite a while thinking it might take a while but nothing changes.
When I send it to my self only it works. I've tried taking a smaller group last names A-C 30 recipients and it does the same thing.
Would appreciate some help if you have had the same problem or maybe know what I've done wrong. Oh, I've also tried it sending it out on me.com and shaw.ca email accounts...
Thanks

If you want to "send an email" to the group, you need to get the group into your email client's Contacts first...
Select your Group > Select All
From Address Book.App "Help" (±10 years old)
*See emphasis below* -
Importing and exporting vCards
A vCard, or "virtual address card," is a standard method of exchanging data between applications. Address Book can create and read vCards, so if you have another application that also works with the vCard format, you can import or export addresses as vCards.
Also, you can send your own card to other people in vCard format. They can use the vCard to add your information to their address books.
You can also use vCards to add addresses to the Contacts list on your iPod.
To create a vCard, drag an address card out of the Address Book window.
To add someone else's vCard to your address book, drag it into the Address Book window.
To create a single vCard with multiple entries, drag more than one card out of the Address Book window.
To create multiple vCards at the same time, hold the Option key when dragging multiple cards out of the Address Book window.
You can also work with vCards using commands in the File menu.
Address Book also supports Lightweight Directory Interchange Format (LDIF). LDIF is an ASCII file format used to exchange information and enable synchronization of that information between Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) servers. You can't export information from Address Book in LDIF format; you can only import it. Address Book can import and export vCards.
To determine the format of a document, select the document and choose File > Get Info. The format, or kind of document, is listed at the top.
If another application won't accept vCards in the default 3.0 format, try changing the format to 2.1 in the vCard pane of Address Book Preferences, and send the vCard again.

Hello, if you have the font that Photoshop is supposed to use to write the barcode, and each image is also listed in the spreadsheet, you can use the little known feature called variables: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7417a.h tml

How do I add multiple birthdays to address book cards?

I am trying to figure out how to add multiple birthday's to cards in my address book. Example I have Jennie & John Smith & their daughters Sue & Susie. How do I add a birthday for each one? There does not seem to be a way to add more then 1 birthday but I can add as many URL's, e-mails, phones, address etc. as I want?

Hi RSER,
Apologies in advance for quantity of detail following..
Currently there appears to be no way to add an additional birthday. (Haven't explored command line options)
There are shareware options that will allow you to utilise the 'anniversaries' field to make additional birthdays and add them to iCal.
Personally, when I want that level of individual detail for a person I make a sep. card and add a note or 'related person' item.
I can only assume that the decision was made by Apple that we can have (and do) any number of phones and emails etc, but usually have only one birthday (some lucky people ie Queen Elizabeth have an official public holiday 'birthday' in some Commonwealth countries, so they get more gifts... but then have your issue)
With iCal you are potentially stepping into a minefield (so many things could be improved)
But consider that Apple have a key philosophy of simple.
There is enough for everyday use, but not so much it is overwhelming to the new user
If you want advanced functionality/technical capabilities, buy a 3rd party product
Certainly there are additions I would like to see:
The 'related names' field would be very useful if it were threaded within the address book to link/refer to other contacts, not just a static field.
Threading within contacts would also be convenient for adding names/addresses to an appointment in iCal (but not have to send requests etc)
Making a contact a 'Business', should allow multiple 'people', or as above, tie in multiple contacts
Maybe something for v6...
Maybe I should buy another app too
Hope that at least eases the pain.

HT2486 How do I see what groups a particular business card belongs to?

I want to do this without going through all the groups and searching for the card in question ...

HI,
Great, it works!. However, I have one additional doubt/issue. I use to have ALL my contacts assigned to a group (1760 contacts, 9 groups). Since I am adding new contacts "on the go" using my iPhone, there is no way to assign the new comers to a group using the iPhone, so I have to wait till I get my iMac at the of the day or the week. The question is easy: how do I know which contacts are not assiged? (other than going through the entire list pressing the Option key, of course)
Thanks!

How do I tell what version (update / release level) of version 6 has been applied to my system?

Question
How do I tell what version (update / release level) of version 6 has been applied to my system? I have applied several different release levels to version 6 of FF but all the about feature tells me is Version 6.0. no version! This seems to be a change in the way updates are handled. Is that a bending because of the speed of which you're pushing out updates and new releases?
contact me if you need something more

@cchur <br />
Nope, I never used Chrome, but I did try Chromium on my Windows desktop PC for a few months last year. I got tired of the Google updater. exe running all the time and Google's method of doing updates, so it's gone. I do have Chromium on my Linux EeePC since last summer, but Ubuntu handles all updates and gives the user the capability to accept or deny, any or all updates - much more to my liking, similar to the way Mozilla does it. I don't like software developers forcing to update until I am ready to proceed.
There's a lot more about this new Fast Release system, than just the lack of visible version numbers, that I don't like. The Nightly, Aurora, Beta, & Release sequence is dumb with the way it changes the version numbers. I prefer installing (for instance) what will become version 7 and have that installation progress thru the 4 stages, instead. Now it's like Nightly going from 7 to 8, Aurora going from 6 to 7, and Beta doing - hell, I won't know if it becomes a Release or if it just dies and I will have to install the Release version myself. ''Quite honestly I don't care, because I don't think this new "system" is going to last too long without major modifications. Too damn many users are so pissed off, that when Firefox starts losing large numbers of users, Chrome keeps growing and eventually passes Firefox in number of users and market share of usage - Mozilla will wake up and see the "light" and change back to the way things used to be done, to a certain extent.''
I also dislike the UI changes in 4/5/6/7 enough that I am still using Firefox 3.6 for almost everything and Firefox 2.0.0.20 for the rest. I have been setting my toolbars up almost like Mozilla did for Firefox 4, since Firefox '''0.7''' in 2003 and I haven't come up with a workable combination of mods and extensions to configure Firefox to look and work the way I have been doing for almost 8 years now.

How Can You Tell Which Group a Contact is In (in Lion)?

Before Lion, you could hold the option key while viewing an address book entry, and it would show you what Groups you assigned it to. It would highlight in Yellow. That seems to be gone in Lion. Is there a way to go down your adrress book listeings and tell what group each name is assigned to?
(I know you can highlight a group to see it's members. That's not what I mean here. In Snow Leopard and before you could go through each address book name and tell what group it was assigned to.)

the most reliable way is to go on the phone and tap
Settings/General/About - that will tell you the capacity (among other things)
but remember the actual space wont be what Apple advertises - my 128 GB iPhone 6 + says it has 114 gb of space - there is formatting and the operating system to take into account
the size is also printed on the back of the original box but unless you have the phone and get get the serial number off the phone (which is in that same location) you cant be sure the box is from the phone you are trying to buy

How do you tell what week your computer was manufactured?

How can I tell what week my computer was manufactured? My serial number is [..snipped...]. Week 19 translates to what month?
Thank you

Someone, somewhere could theoretically, trace your serial number to your name, address and maybe even how you paid for your computer. I recently had my identity cloned in Mexico. I wouldn’t think of posting any unnecessary information on any website. But that’s just me.
