In Address Book, how do you create a new group under "On my Mac", not under "iCloud"?

In Address Book there are groups under "On my Mac" and groups under "iCloud".  When I do File -> "Create new group", the new group always goes under "iCloud".  How can I make a new group to go under "On my Mac".  I also tried dragging the new group from the iCloud area to the "On my Mac" area, but that doesn't do it.  Address Book is version 6.1.3.  Thanks for your help.

Maybe look in the Preferences > Accounts & disable the iCloud account? That should force it to create a local group then re-enable the iCloud account. I would use the 'File > Export… Addressbook archive' to make a backup before you begin, but it should be fine.
I'm not sure 10.6.8 supported iCloud natively, so perhaps that is why it is being wierd?

    How do you create a  new folder in the library?

    In the user Library? Open Finder and select Go then press the Option key. In the list you will see your user Library folder (underneath Home). Click it to open it. Now you can add a folder inside. You can left click/hold and drag the Library icon at the top of the Finder window to your Finder Sidebar so it's always avaliable.

  • How can I create a new folder in Word for Mac ?

    How can I create a new folder in Word for Mac?

    You don't do this in Word. You do it in the OS X Finder.
    All you need do in Word is open the file, then select Save As from Word's File menu. Change the destination to your new folder then click on the Save button.
    The Finder method is much faster if you have a number of files you want to move. Just remember that to open those moved files in Word, you will have to change the directory from which you will open those files.

  • How do you create a new account for a family member?

    My daughter and I both have Ipods, and want to setup SEPARATE accounts. Itunes 7 worked great, but now when we 'upgraded' to 8, it MERGED all our files. So I thought I had a separate account, but it turns out when I load a new song, it goes into HER Itunes files. She deleted all my info, and I REALLY want a separate account (that sticks).
    My songs are still in my directory under "Mikes Itunes", but when I reloaded them into what I thought was a fresh entry, it turns out it went into my daughter's Itunes file too! What is up with Itunes 8? and how can you create a TRUE separate account so I have control over MY songs!?

    First, let's make it easier to swap between accounts. In the Accounts pane of System Preferences click on the Login Options (after unlocking the pane). Enable fast user switching. This will put a new menu in the top right of the screen. You can then swap to the other account without having to log out of the current one.
    Log into the original account. Select the folder you want access from the other account and choose Get Info from the file menu. There is a section called Sharing & Permissions. You will need to click on the padlock to make changes. Click on the + to add permissions for the other user account by selecting the user account from list that appears. Set the permission for that account to read only. Once you have it listed then choose the "Apply to enclosed items" from the gear menu below the list. This should give you access from the other account to that folder and any folders contained in it.
    For iTunes you will want to do this to the Music folder, giving you access to the files below. From within iTunes you can select Add to Library from the file menu, and then select the music from the other account to that account's iTunes library. Once you have set up the new library whoever's library is the original can clean up the library to remove any music they don't want (now that it's in the new account).

  • How do you create a new OneNote notebook and/or cr...

    I have a Lumia 800 and I was wondering how to manage certain files in Microsoft Office better.
    The whole Microsoft Office in a phone experience is quite new to me and I was wondering how I can create a new notebook in my Lumia 800's OneNote, rename page sections like the one under the default "Personal" notebook that is defaultly named "Unfiled Notes", and I was also wondering how to create more of these page sections on my phone.
    I've tried searching "Lumia 800 OneNote how to create notebook" on Google but has failed on finding any site that shows relevance to my question.
    If someone could just give me tips or tricks on how to use these kind of apps, I would be very grateful.

    If css style panel is missing then you can reset your designer.  In CS6 the process was:
    Windows >> Workspace Layout >> Reset Designer
    See this picture:
    Now to create a new style should be easy.  Just see this picture:
    I don't use CC so I don't know if the process is still the same.
    Good luck.

  • Address Book: How do you select, copy and paste info to an email?

    I look up a contact in my Mac Address Book and want to cut and paste email/address and phone into an email I am writing in another application - in this case using AOL online.
    It seems that you cannot select and paste the information or selected parts of it from the Address Book to the email using the usual key commands to select/copy/paste text?
    It is as if you are trying to copy from a photo... am I the only one to find this a completely mindless limitation of the Address Book?
    Or is there something obvious I am missing?
    thanks in advance

    This is insane!  I switched to Mac a few years ago (still use XP/Win7/Linux at work) and generally like it. However, I keep running into these idiotic and arbitratry limitations!  I want to create a bunch of address cards for people I work with.  Everthing is the same except phone extension, name, and email.  There's no way to copy/duplicate contacts in Mac Address Book or on my iPhone.  And, like many similar issues, if I dare to ask about it at an "Expert Bar", I'll first get a look of confusion and when I finally get the person to understand, I'll just get the useless response of "that's how it works".   No ideas for work-arounds. No reporting to Apple development. Just the attitude of "why would anyone want to do anything it doesn't already do?"
    It's great having all the Apple stores around here and being able to ask (simple) questions, but they're really not able to deal with much more than older folks who just bought a Mac and don't know how to use a computer at all. If you've been using dozens of computers and operating systems for 20+ years, they don't want to talk to you.
