I've got my contacts in groups in my address.
I've just dragged and dropped a group into a numbers doc and the process has gone wrong!
I've got the email addresses on the numbers doc but the group in basically empty...help
I've done something silly...but what?

I beleive they were synced with iCloud before I ran out of storage I then backup to my PC periodically.
My contacts switch is off, I have now slid this across and no contacts have come back. Is there any other steps necessary for me to take? Switch my phone off or reset again?
Thanks for your assistance!

I am trying to create a group in the address book. When I drag over the contacts from the contact list they duplicate in the address book. I am using "Lion"

Hi cavu10horses,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has instructions for changing a contact's photo using a photo from iPhoto's Faces feature:
Contacts: Add or change contact pictures
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11580
Select a contact or your own card, and then double-click the picture well.
Select a picture:
Drag an image to the picture well.
Click Camera to take a picture.
If you have pictures in iPhoto, click the Faces button to use a face from iPhoto.
If the contact is linked (it’s in multiple accounts, but displayed only once in Contacts) and has multiple account pictures, click Linked.
Click Edit to edit the picture.
To zoom in and out of the picture, drag the slider. Drag the picture to change which part of it is visible.
To rotate the picture, hold down the Option key while you click and drag the picture.
To apply special effects, click the Effects Gallery button and choose an effect.
Click Done.
Cheers,

When I send an email my contacts are changed in my Address Book on both my Mac and iPhone4.

All my contacts are entered only in the first name space. ie John Smith is entered as John Smith in just the first name entry space - I don't use the last name space at all. When I send an email, that person's address gets changed immediately my address book which duplicates the first name into the last name space. I have tried deleting all my contacts and resynching them from my iPhone but the problem persists. Can anyone help me fix this?
I am running an iMac with Lion and my mail client is Mail. My ISP is gmail.

Double check your contacts email, and if its incorrect, go to their contact and change it and save it or you can delete the email you put in, and manually type it in.
Hope this helps.
How would that help the original poster?

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!

Hi,
After i upgraded to iOS5, I cannot select 'selected groups' to sync address books to ipad. I am syncing via icloud, but there is no option so sync selected groups contacts, nor via itunes for manual sync.
Can anyone help, please.

Exported addresses from Address Book to desktop and then deleted all addresses from Address Book.
Deleted file AddressBook-v22.ab** from Library>Application Support>AddressBook.
Exited Address Book and iTunes, restarted Address Book and imported addresses from desktop.

Contact syncing and Groups in MacOS address book app

I have my iPhone set to only sync certain groups from my Address Book to the phone, not "all". When I add a new contact via the iPhone there's no way to designate which group it goes into so every now and then I have to do into the Address Book app and try to figure out which ones aren't in the correct group and fix them.
Is there any way I can assign contact groups via the iPhone?
thanks,
Bill

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.

Is there an easy way to print address labels or multiple envelopes from a group in the Address Book contacts?

What is the best way to make address labels from a group in my Address Book?
Or can I print multiple envelopes - for an entire "group" of addressees?

Hi,
I am doing the same thing too. I have to call my reports thru menu. I tried web.show_document in my menu and it works. I also added paramform=yes and it gives the report parameters, but I want to give the user the choice of format for the reports. eg. pdf, html, excel, etc. instead of hardcoding it.
Could you please give me some idea on how can I do that??
Thanks.

Transferring "group" from my address book to someone else's

Recently, I was attempting to send another Mac user a group of contacts from my address book. I exported them and then emailed the export to my friend. However, when she went to import them, she got a message saying that by doing this, she would be overwriting her current address book; something we don't want to do. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Russ

I'm guessing that you exported as an Address Book Archive. If so, then it will indeed overwrite an existing Address Book file. If you want to send contacts to someone to incorporate into an existing Address Book, export your contacts as VCard. Those can be imported to an Address Book without erasing the existing contacts.
Hope this helps.

How can I put a contact in two or more Address Books without making a 'new contact' for each?

I would like to put several of my contacts in more than one Address Book; but, if I move them (drag'n'drop) from one they no longer remain in the original Book...which I want. I'd like to segregate different interest groups and file them in separate Address Books, but many of my contacts fit in several Address Book identities. Any solution to keep from having to make whole new contact addresses for existing contacts? Thanks for any help you might offer..... NJR

If I want to copy a contactl to another address-book I simly hold down the ctrl-key when I drag and drop

Why are none of the groups in my Address Book showing up the address book tool in the new message window in Mail? Actually how do I get the two to match?

I seem to have lost the groups from my Address Book in the address book tool in Mail. When I try to address a new email, all my contacts are grouped under all and the other groups found in my Address Book application are missing. Is there a way to get the groups to show up in the address book within Mail?

When you make changes in AB, quit Mail for the changes to be added to Mail's database file. Reopen Mail and try it.

Iam trying to download data from a group in my address book into Numbers. When I click on the data to move and drag to Numbers nothing happens. Using OS X ver 10.9.2 iMac

With Numbers 3.2 (released April 2014) drag and drop works on my machine again, either onto the canvas or into an existing table.
What also works (as Wayne described): select multiple contacts, command-c to copy, and (after clicking the canvas or a cell) command-v to paste.

An efficient means of n naming and organizing Groups in the address book

Hello,
First, I hope you are having a nice day. If not, I hope it gets better soon!
Next, I would like to provide the following before explaining:
Here is an article regarding a novel means of uploading pictures with descriptions from a Mac to Flickr without a "third party" application.
A novel way to upload photos from a Mac, with a complete description, to Flickr [http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474978195922].
A very simple example:
Possible list of names in the "Groups" section:
National Politicians
California Politicians
Texas Politicians
Colorado Politicians
In the address book, the above would be organized in the following order with "N" names between. "N" is the other alphabetical names:
California Politicians
<N>
Colorado Politicians
<N>
National Politicians
<N>
Texas Politicians.
*Greater Efficiency*
In my opinion, the following is more efficient means of naming and organizing the address book:
Politicians.National
Politicians.California
Politicians.Texas
Politicians.Colorado
As long as the spelling of the first description and period are included, the latter will be organized as follows with "n" "group names" where "group name" is the "Politicians." group with a "name" between:
Politicians.California
<n>
Politicians.Colorado
<n>
Politicians.National
<n>
Politicians.Texas
If the above four are the only names in the "Politician." "group name", the list would be organized as follows:
<N>
Politicians.California
Politicians.Colorado
Politicians.National
Politicians.Texas
<N>
* The Colon and Problem with "linking" in Mail*
As a side note, I have noticed some Library of Congress links do not "link" in Mail. As an example, I recently noticed that I could not "link" the following "URL" because there was a ":" at the end. If the ":" is not present, the URL will lead to a different page. I will be contacting Apple technical support and report this problem, but, I have figured out a way to circumvent this problem. I explain below.
+Link with colon and then a colon and zero+
• Library of Congress: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:S.2925:
If you paste the above link into the Mail message body and select "Edit" » "Link" » "Add" and "Paste" the link into the text box, the "Add" button will not be triggered. If the ":" is removed, the "Add" button will be triggered and highlighted. Sadly, the link will be incorrect.
Circumvention
In the above case, the solution is quite simple. Just add a zero, "0", after the colon, ":" , as such.
• Library of Congress link with a zero: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:S.2925:0
The above link works and Mac's Mail "Add" feature will add a properly working link to the message body.
By the way, please ask your Congressional Representatives to support the above bill!

So how the Addressbook's Group List would look after syncing with the Soho Organizer's Contacts Subgroups organization? If Address book don't have that ability of Subgrouping.
I have been researching after a while now every single possible way without a luck. Please let me know if you find a solution.
Here are a are a couple of interesting apps that are taking contacts organization more seriouslly. But still dont have the answer for it.
5degrees.
http://www.5degrees.us,
$9.99 a month
Desktop and iphone.
Bento
Great for customizing the contacts template.
Also an iphone app.
http://www.filemaker.com/products/bento/
My favorite would be Cobook Contacts since they also have the iphone app. Very clean design.
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/41822/cobook
http://www.cobookapp.com
But still, none of this have the Subgroup organizing feature.
Please let me know if toy find a solution.
