HT6065 Mavericks and Mail Contact Groups

Fixes an issue that prevented contact groups from working properly in Mail?
No it doesn't - unless you ask Apple Care how.
I had to have a lengthy session with a Senior Advisor to sort out this and for the record this is what was subsequently sent to me, which resolved the issue, but not everyone may be aware of the solution as stipulated below.
'Upon checking the issue with the engineering team, it seems the issue should be resolved but the feature of emailing a group of contacts has changed.
There are several ways to send a email to one your groups. I have put them in the preferred order.
1) Type the name of the contact group into the "To field" of the email. i,e Group Name "NHW" - Type this into the "To" field. This should allow you to send a email to everyone in this group.
2) Right click on the group name inside "contacts" then choose the option "Send Email to Group Name".
3) Copy and paste the list of contacts from the group and paste them into the 'To" field in Mail.'
Hope this helps

Hi - I saw this reply from someone else wiht the same question ... its not perfect, but its a BIG step forward.
I had the same problem this morning. Here's what APPLE help said:
Open Address Book from the Dock
Hold down CTRL key and then click on your group.
The option to "send email" or "export...." should be there and click on it. A new email will appear with your group names.
If you have "right click" enabled, open Address Book, and right click on your Group. The same window "export or send email" should appear. Click on send email.
Hope that works for you. It helped me.

Aha. You mean "an email message won't open", not "the Mail app won't open"?
Do you have "Use classic layout" checked or unchecked in Mail > Preferences > General?
Is it possible you have minimized the preview pane to a tiny sliver at the bottom or right and just don't see the messages there?

ActiveSync and Personal Contact Groups for Mobile (incl Windows Phone)

Hello,
As more MDM's (including BES10, Airwatch, native Windows Phone etc - besides Good For Enterprise) are moving towards EAS for enterprise e-mail sync, and I myself have 2 devices which have forced me to use EAS, I noticed that the various personal contact
groups that I've created in Outlook are no longer available from these devices. Only on my BES 7 blackberry torch can I still find the personal distribution lists a.k.a. contact groups (not from GAL, but created in outlook) to appear, probably since it doesn't
use EAS.Is there a way to enable syncing personal distribution lists? It seems to be a real productivity killer to not have this ability and to try and remember the group's members or select them especially for larger lists each time.
Thank you

Thanks for the reply (although the link you provided is referencing using Outlook 2013 for Outlook.com type hosted accounts). My situation is Outlook in an on-prem enterprise Exchange environment but with mobile devices that connect to exchange via EAS.
If the response is still the same, then my follow up question is - why not? And what is the alternative to "contact groups" in the EAS world?

Address Book and Mail - Using Groups for e-mail

I've noticed something strange about Mail and Address Book in Tiger:
I created a new Group in Address Book. The Group contains people who are involved in a project. I have names, home addresses and phone numbers for eveyone, but a few people do not have e-mail. When a try using this Group to send out an e-mail message, Mail warns me that John Smith does not appear to have a valid e-mail address. I can't send the message unless I select only those in the group who have e-mail addresses and only send to them. This is a pain.
Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug in Tiger's Address Book and Mail.app? How can I get around this? I have several Groups like this that contain entries with no e-mail.

It's not a bug in Address Book, it's a limitation. Your only way to get around that is to either remove those from the group, or give them all the same email address; i.e., send those to you so you are reminded that they didn't get the email and you have to notify them some other way.
And of course, when sending to more than one person, never put the recipients in the To or CC field; they should always go in the BCC field.

How to export an Mac Mail/Contact Group directly to a Google group

Hi, for my new blog, I would like to use Google Group to distribute it, but would like to avoid retyping each address into the Google group list. Is there a simple way to export the group I have already set up in my Apple contacts list directly to the Google Group? There are several hundred names.

Hi,
Export from the first machine running outlook 2010
Open Outlook on the computer containing the desired contacts and click the "File" tab.
Click "Options" then click "Advanced" to display advanced Outlook options.
Click the "Export" button, then select "Export to a file" and click "Next."
Select "CommaSeparatedValues (Windows)" as the file type and click "Next."
Select the Contacts folder when prompted, then click "Next." This will export all individual contacts and contact groups within the folder.
Click "Browse" and select where to save the export file. The destination location should be on a removable storage device such as a USB flash drive to allow you to import the file on the other computer.
Type a name for the file in the file name box and click "OK."
Click "Next" when prompted and then click "Finish."
Import to the second machine
Open Outlook on the computer you want to import the contacts to and click the "File" tab.
Click "Open" and then "Import."
Select "Import from another program or file" and then click "Next."
Select "CommaSeparatedValues (Windows)" when prompted to select the file type to import and then click "Next."
Select "Browse" to locate and choose the export file and then click "OK."
Select the desired import options and click "Next." The first option, "Replace Duplicates with Items Imported," allows the import process to overwrite existing contact information to prevent duplicate contact creation. The second option, "Allow Duplicates
to be Created," retains existing contact information and creates duplicate contact entries with the imported data. The third option, "Do Not Import Duplicate Items," retains existing contact information. These options only are relevant if duplicate contacts
already exist in Outlook on the computer running the import.
Click the Contacts folder when prompted to select the destination folder. Click "Next," followed by "Finish."
Hope that helps.

Maverick and Mail

I just installed Maverick and I can't get Mail to open a viewer window. cmd opt N doesn't work, neither does the pull down menu option. (Terrible start Apple!)

I don't suppose it's already running? Try force quit just to see if it's running.

Google apps and mail, contacts, calendar setup

I'm trying to setup my mail, contacts, and calendar in Lion with my Google Apps credentials. On my iphone I set things up as an Exchange server, provide my credentials and connect to the server 'm.google.com'. This doesn't work on Lion -- is there another server? Another approach? Is this supported?

I've got mail and Calendar working perfectly with Google Apps and Lion, but Contacts not at all
Spanning Sync seems to be an option but I'm reluctanct to introduce a third party
Surprising in 2011 to still be having problems on something as basic as Address sync!

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS Maverick, and mail will get stuck trying to upgrade...

Hello,
I just recently became a Mac user, everything has been great so far with the exception of upgrading to OS Maverick. My mail client will no longer function. It appears to attempt to open, or update, but it doesn't fully open. I restart and the same thing happens.
Thanks in advance!

Mail App and Mail, Contacts and Calendar Settings Crashing

After upgrading to 2.1 on 3G...
I posted a response to a post for Mail settings problem here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1708101&tstart=0 but noticed that after restarting my phone now the Mail application crashes and in some cases the Contacts app if open more than 10 seconds.
I've noticed a few posts and possible fixes on the forums like updating the Region but none of those solutions worked for me. I'm hoping an Apple "Genius" would read this and offer a fix!

I'm having a similar issue;
I go into Settings -> Email, contacts, etc.
Then i scroll to almost the very bottom. I see the first two items of "Calendar settings", but if I scroll further settings crash and I'm shoved back to the homescreen. EXTREMELY frustrating since I'm in sweden and the time zone is london I think - all my meetings are pushed 1 hour ahead.
I have an iPhone 3G with the latest 2.1 firmware.

Maverick and mail - it doesn't work.

All my e-mail accounts (gmail) won't sync any more. Can somebody help me with this?

Welcome to the discussions, guidow.
You're absolutely right, IE IS a total waste of time due to it's poor handling of graphics. Unfortunately, if a site is meant to be viewed by the largest audience, that's going to include a LOT of IE users.
First, what version of IE are you using? Is it version 6 or much older? Also, do you have Java turned off? Either of these can affect how you (and, by extension, your viewers) are able to see the site. Essentially, IE is very bad at displaying PNG images with a transparent layer so a workaround was devised to force IE to display them properly. This requires a script to run as soon as all the images are loaded and, if Java is off, the script won't run. This should, however, leave your images looking like each one is behind a grey window, so perhaps there's something more here.
The solution is to convert your images to .jpg's before placing them on your site and then ensuring that they are placed with no resizing.
BTW, like the layout of the site. I'll take another look at it with IE when I get to work.

HT2500 upgraded to maverick and "mail selected document" is missing

Look on the toolbar for the Share icon.
If it's not there add it (Customize Toolbar)

Exchange 2013 mail contact in Active Directory missing SMTP email address but has a primary email address

Outlook 2010 Distribution Group contact member "Al" is not showing an email address. In Active Directory "Al" is showing an email address but it's not a SMTP email address that is created when you add a new Mail contact using EAC.
When the DG owner sends out an email using DG email account, the mail bounces back as undeliverable.
Exchange Admin Center is not showing the member. The only way to fix the member is by deleting the contact. Re-add contact in EAC then add to Distribution Group. We have over 30 DGs that are missing the SMTP email addresses.
Can a Powershell command fix this issue or is there a sync issue between AD and Exchange?

Hi,
From your description, the contact you specified should be contact not mail contact. Contact and mail contact are two different things. If you create a contact in ADUC, you need to mail-enable it and then set the primary SMTP address for it.
For more information, here is an article for your reference.
