Is there a way to create a email distribution list from my contacts?

I am converting from PC to apple.  I have many contacts and want to learn how to create distribution lists.  If anyone knows, please help.

That feature does not exist currently in the Comtacts app on the iPad. There are third party apps that let you do it - Group Email with Attachements (?) is one such app - I think!
I read where one user actually created a distribution list in the notes app bytry ping the email addresses and leaving a space in between each address and then copied the list from the Notes app and pasted it into the To: field in an email as a workaround. I tried it and it will work - you have to play around with it a little. I can't remember if you leave a space in between the email addresses or separate them with a comma, but I did get it to work.
Of course now I have this bizarre looking distribution list that pops up when I'm typing an email that I will never use and can't get rid of, but curiosity got the best of me on that one.

    Nope.
    You might be able to find another calendar app that can do that in the App Store.
    And, you can always leave Apple feedback here -> Apple - iPhone - Feedback

  • How can I create email distribution lists in my contacts on my macbook air?

    How can I create email distribution lists in my contacts on my macbook air? I could do this on a pc using outlook, but I don't see how to do it on my new mac.

    UPDATE, ok, I figured out how to make a list, but how can I remove specific contacts from the list? The "Remove from Group" is greyed out & not available.

  • Since the last IOS update, I still can't drag distribution lists from my contacts to my email.  Apple has been absolutely no help, in spite of contacting them 5 times on this subject.  Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

    No Mac can run any version of iOS, that is for iDevices only.
    Macs run OS X. What version of that do you have?

  • Is there a way to create an email button to multiple addresses within a PDF?

    I have to regularly update a list of committee members and their email addresses which is then sent to all of the members. 
    Does anyone know if there a way of creating a button for each of the committees in the list which, when clicked, creates an email to all the  members contained within that committee?  I will need to add up to 14 email addresses to the one button. I need to know this because the various members in the committees are  fed up of copying and pasting all the email addresses into their email messages.
    I am now using Acrobat XI but I still can't figure out if this is even possible. If not a button, is there some other way of being able to launch an email to multiple addresses within a PDF?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Not really. But you can combine the data from multiple forms into a single (new) spreadsheet via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet...

  • How to create an email distribution list?

    How do you create an email distribution list

    This is what I do and it works!
    1.  Create a new contact in iCloud (iCloud.com) or from your iPhone or iPad.
    2.  The company name field is your distribution name.
    3.   In one email field type in or paste in all the email addresses you want in the format as listed below. That's open double quotes follow by person's name close double quotes. Open greater than sign e-mail close greater then sign.  Each additional entry follow by a comma.  Last entry you don't need to.
             "first lastName"<[email protected]>,
    I would suggest do this in Note (on the iPad) or somewhere you can see your entres. Then paste them to the email field.
    Good luck!  Hope this helps.

  • When sending an email I used to be able to add a distribution list from my contacts, I now have to add each email address individually, does anyone know how I can add the whole list?

    When sending an email I used to be able to click on a distribution list in my contacts and it would add all the email addresses, I now have to add each email address individually and this takes a lot of time.  Could someone tell me how I can add a distibution list/group to my emails?

    Barney,
    I have four groups.
    I just typed the name of one of those groups in the To field on the iPhone's email, and received:
    Invalid Address
    "<group name>" does not appear to be a valid email address.  Do you want to send it anyway?
    I clicked continue and it remains in my outbox.
    Help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Michael

  • Is there a way to create address labels using data from a Numbers document?

    I'd like to print mailing labels for holiday cards and my wife created the list in a Numbers spreadsheet.
    Is there any way to export to Pages or some other label printing application?
    Thanks.

    Righty-ho. This is based on a spreadsheet like this with named columns in Numbers 3.5. (The rows must be consecutive - the script moves on as soon as it sees an empty row):
    With the spreadsheet open, run the following AppleScript. It will create a group called Christmas List in Contacts, and then import the name and address data from the spreadsheet, adding each person to the group:
    tell application "Numbers" to tell front document to tell active sheet to tell table 1
      set all_contacts to {}
      set row_count to count rows
      repeat with each_row from 2 to row_count
      set nu_contact to {}
      set first_name to value of cell each_row of column "First"
      if first_name is missing value then exit repeat
      copy first_name to end of nu_contact
      copy (value of cell each_row of column "Last") to end of nu_contact
      copy (value of cell each_row of column "Address1") to end of nu_contact
      copy (value of cell each_row of column "Address2") to end of nu_contact
      copy nu_contact to end of all_contacts
      end repeat
    end tell
    tell application "Contacts"
      set group_exists to (every group whose name is "Christmas List")
      if the result is {} then
      make new group at end of groups
      set name of the result to "Christmas List"
      save
      end if
      repeat with each_contact in all_contacts
      activate
      set nu_person to (make new person with properties {first name:item 1 of each_contact, last name:item 2 of each_contact})
      save
      make new address at end of addresses of nu_person with properties {street:item 3 of each_contact, city:item 4 of each_contact}
      save
      add nu_person to group "Christmas List"
      save
      end repeat
    end tell
    Contacts will look like this:
    With the Christmas List group selected in Contacts, go to the Print menu and choose the label format you want:
    Once the labels are printed, select all the names in the Christmas List Group and press the delete key:
    Click the middle "Delete" button and the contacts will be gone.You can then delete the Christmas List group itself.
    This can also be done in Numbers 09, but the script would have to be modified slightly.
    Hope it helps,

  • Is there a way to remove Exchange global address list from phone/Mail app?

    I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.3. Wondering if there is a way I can prevent an Exchange global address list from loading when I compose a message. I am only syncing Mail - not contacts or calendars. Also tried dropping and re-adding account to see if that did anything. This is a personal phone connected to company's Exchange account (legitimately) - I would like to reduce the chance that I incorrectly email a company employee from my personal account when composing a message.

    That is what I expected Chris, but to answer your question - yes. I have two accounts setup with the Mail app - Gmail and Exchange. Gmail is the default even. When I am in the Gmail account, compose a new message, just typing "john" for example, brings up most recently used john's first, then all the Johns in my company. I really would prefer not to even have those names populate. Not sure if that can be prevented without dropping the Exchange mail account altogether. That is my question - and thank you for your reply.

  • Is there a way to add an existing distribution list to a document?

    i created a distribution list with CVI1 and i am trying to add it to a document, NOT via the distribution list but from the document itself.
    via the "environment" menu, I can create a new list or change a list in which the document is already written in: but i cannot add an existing list from the document.
    any idea?

    i am aware  of that: that i why i asked this question. i need to upload distribution lists to be added to documents and i did not find a way to add the documents to the list (cvi2) in a recording: the amount of document i can add is limited to the amount of lines i see on the screen;
    my final goal is to add existing lists to documents or documents to lists, via upload (excel sheet or txt file) LSMW or other methods!
    any idea is welcome: i have searched and not found solutions

  • Is there a way to create an "edit decision list" (clips, start/end points, timeline order) from a project?

    I have completed a project draft and would like to record the clip information so I can carry it forward to another project.  I can look up the information manually, but wonder if Premiere Elements 10 has a way to export that information to a printable (or electronic) format.

    VDRAVES
    Thanks for the reply. I do not see Premiere Elements offering what you seek.
    If we eliminate any contributions from the Elements Organizer
    a. In Project Media, there is a list view where the imported files are listed. There are columns of data associated with each file.
    It used to be that one of those columns was for Comments and a few other fields for user input. That has long since disappeared, and what is still there appears non functional for user input. The user can right click a blank area in Project Media and select Edit Columns, but that is about it. There is no user entry opportunities that I see.
    b. The Timeline unnumbered markers offer the opportunity for comments for each of the Timeline clips as described in the following blog post
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Forget Me Not Clip Details and Timeline Unnumbered Markers
    c. The project file (project.prel) has an associated Notepad document that could be looked for for project data. Much is in codes. The Elements Organizer details would seem to me to be preferred over trying to draw information from the Notepad document of a saved/closed project.prel.
    I am not sure if those with scripts and programming know how could find a way to force Premiere Elements to yield the information that you want in the format that you want?
    I will think about this some more. But, right now the above is my impression of your thread question and a possible Premiere Elements project Edit Decision List.

  • Is there a way to create new 'To Do List' items?

    My team is making a Help File for our software and it would
    be very helpful if the To Do List within RoboHelp 6 would allow us
    to customize it in such a way as to make it more suited for our
    needs.
    Thanks.

    Hi Platinu and welcome to our community
    Unfortunately these items are hard coded. About all you can
    do is to make note of what they are and use what is listed by
    mentally swapping your own preferences in.
    If you would like to see this change in the future, consider
    submitting a Feature Request. You may do this by
