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.

  • 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 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 can i remove duplicates from my address book?

    When I synced my phone through icloud my contacts were all duplicated on my address book on my desktop.  is there an easy way to remove the dupilcates? thank you!

    Here's one such AppleScript I found on the web
    The script will Find the duplicate Entries in Your AddressBook.app and put them into a New Group Called "Duplicate Entries" Allowing you to easly compare and edit them.) ***NOTE: The script will ADD a NEW GROUP IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK : NAMED "Duplicate Entries" if it does not exist:

    tell application "Address Book"
       set biglist to {}
       if not (exists (group "Duplicate Entries")) then
           make new group with properties {name:"Duplicate Entries"}
       end if
       set the_names to the name of every person as list
       repeat with i from 1 to number of items in the_names
           set this_Name to item i of the_names
           set theName to name of person this_Name as string
           if this_Name is not in biglist then
               copy this_Name to end of biglist
           else
               add (people whose name is theName) to group "Duplicate Entries"

  • New iPhone 4, How do I sync contact photos of address book on Mac to the iPhone contacts?

    I have a new iPhone 4s, Cloud.  I have Mac with Cloud now.  Photos added to Mac address book do not always sync into the contacts of the iPhone 4s.  Ideas of what I need to do to get photos to show up on the iPhone contacts?

    Connect the device to the computer.
    In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
    Sync.
    This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start.

  • 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.

  • 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 ?

  • How do I create a second user on my MacBook pro?

    I am a new user to the Mac family, and I'm loving it! I bought my MacBook Pro 15" with retina display with the intention of me being its only user. I am now reluctantly thinking of letting my almost 15 year old daughter use it. She has used it as a "Guest User", but upon logging off, all of her information gets erased. How do I create a second user? I want to make sure she cannot access my files, alter my settings, etc. But I want her to be able to save whatever she is working on. And I also want to be able to access her user to monitor her internet usage, and also add parental controls. Mahalo folks!

    Open System Preferences -> Users & Groups and use the plus sign to add a new user. You can elect to give your daughter admin privileges or not, etc.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • How can I create a second sheet within a tab?

    How can I create a second sheet within a tab? I have tried to add another table but it shows up on top of the existing table. I want to have two sheets or tables within one tab so I can further sort and categorize within a section. Is this possible? Thanks for all the help!

    You can insert a new table on the View Responses Tab with
    Insert > Table
    You can also insert a new sheet with a new table with
    Insert > Sheet
    You can drag and drop the table if it does overlap with another table. Just select the table you want to move and drag the top-left corner of the table to move it.
    Hope this helps
