Is there a way to create a group in contacts without individual contact cards

I need to send emails to 100 people at a time. The addresses are in an excel spreadsheet. How can I create a group without having to create a contact card for each individual?
I'm using Mountain Lion.

If you are referring to photo albums no you can't create them on the iPad with the current iOS software. You could not do it on the iPad original either as stated above.
You can purchase third party apps that allow you to do so. One app that I know of is called Photo-Sort. I am sure there are others available in the app store if you care to search.
You can provide feedback to Apple here and let them know how you feel.

Is there a way to create albums on iPad 2 without connecting to a computer? I heard the iPad 1 did that? It's rather stupid that they don't have that function built in.

Is there a way to create a group function?

I want to create a group function like max,sum,count for a
pl/sgl function. This group function will be something like max
(let's call it max2) but it will return the second highest value
of a group.
Any ideas anyone?

Since you might not completely understand what i mean i give you
this example:
the ranktest table is:
A     B     C
a     b     1
a     b     1
a     b     5
a     b     12
a     b     7
b     c     1
b     c     3
b     c     2
b     c     4
b     c     8
c     d     4
c     d     3
c     d     6
c     d     1
c     d     2
c     d     12
c     d     7
c     d     3
a     b     5
c     d     12
SELECT A,B,C
FROM (
SELECT A,B,C, dense_rank() over (
PARTITION BY A,B
ORDER BY C desc) AS sorted_c
FROM ranktest a)
WHERE sorted_c = 2
-- this way we get the c column to have the 2nd highest value
-- for each set of A and B
--RESULT
a b 7
b c 4
c d 7
SELECT a.A,a.B, sum(a.C), count(a.C)
FROM ranktest a
GROUP BY a.A,a.B
-- this way we get the group functions to work on two of the
-- columns
--RESULT
a b 31 6
b c 18 5
c d 50 9
The result that i want is
a b 31 6 7
b c 18 5 4
c d 50 9 7
My question is can this be done in a single select statement. I
know it can be done with an intermediate step (of the creation
of a temp table).
Plus i would like to ask the experts, would a single select
statement be more efficient?
NOTE: the tables and data are just test data. The real tables
and data and the select query are different. The real ranktable
has about 1 million records. That's why i am worried about
efficiency.

Is there a way to create a group alias that I can text/message?

Similar to an e-mail alias that contains multiple e-mail addresses which makes it easy to send one message to multiple people, I'd like to be able to create a group alias from some set of contacts in my Address Book that I can send a message (either text or iMessage if supported by the recipient) to. Does the iPhone 4 running iOS5 support this and if so, how do I go about using this feature?
Note, I'm not looking for a group chat function where people have run a particular app in order to join a group, I just want to be able to easily send a message to > 1 person and if they want to respond it's directly to me.

You can group your contacts, but you will not be able to send group messages natively. You need a 3rd party application for this. I have developped a free one, Easy Group, to create group of contacts (family, football team), and then send group texts and group emails.

Is there some way how to pay in app store without having credit card?

Hello,
I wanted to pay in app store but it isn't possible without having a credit card. Is there any way how I can buy applications and pay for example by telephone bill?

You purchase an iTunes gift card. You redeem it using your iTunes account. You then get credited with whatever the value of the gift card was. You then make purchases & it gets deducted from your balance.

Is there a way to create a group email list?

I am trying to set up a group email list so I don't need to restyle addresses every time. Easy to do in Outlook but how do I do it on my IPad?

Unfortunately, that isn't possible in the iPad mail app or the contacts app. You cannot create groups or email to groups.
There are third party apps that will allow you to do that. I believe that MailShot and Group Email with Attachments will both let you create groups and mail to them. You can check them out in the App Store.

Is there a way to create different groups for my contacts using the installed contact app

I am trying to make a group on my contacts. So that it's easier to just make messages to people and not having to make group messages every single time. For example, making a group for a sports team so that I can just message everyone in the group at once.

No not possible but you can create contact groups at www.icloud.com and if you have contact synced thru cloud the groups you make at www.icloud.com will appear on your phone

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.

Is there a way to create a local package repository

Is there a way to create a local package repository without technically being a mirror. For example, setting up multiple AL box's on my network and having them grab all the latest packages from one AL box?
Thanks,
Craig

What you most likely want is an ABS tree of your own, containing only the PKGBUILDs of those packages which you want to be included in your repository.
You should already have heard of the gensync program. In short, the parameters are the root of PKGBUILDs, sorted in subdirectories (ie. like the ABS tree), the intented name and location of the repository database file, and the directory containing the binary packages.
Let's assume you downloaded the current ABS tree to your hard drive, as well as all matching (same version as in the PKGBUILDs!) packages from a mirror, but you don't want the reiserfsprogs package in your repository. To achieve that, you must remove the /var/abs/base/reiserfsprogs directory, and may optionally remove the binary package, too. Since gensync analyzes the ABS tree you supplied as a parameter, removing the subdirectory of a specific package will cause this very package to not be included in the generated database. Assuming your packages lie in /home/arch/i686/current, your gensync call would look like this:
gensync /var/abs /home/arch/i686/current/current.db.tar.gz /home/arch/i686/current
If there are any discrepancies like
- PKGBUILD, but no matching binary package found
- PKGBUILD and binary package versions do not match
- permission problems (writing the db file must be possible)
gensync will gladly complain.
Otherwise you should find the db file in the place you specified. Keep in mind that the name of the db.tar.gz file must be equal to the repository tag in the pacman.conf to use the repo.
To make sure the db contains the right packages; use
tar -tzf current.db.tar.gz | less
to list the contents. Every package has it's own subdirectory including the metadata, which is rather obvious considering the file's generated from such a structure in the first place.
The binary packages along with a correctly generated db file are all you need. Make the repository directory containing these files available through FTP if local availability doesn't cut it for you, edit your pacman.conf if needed, and use it!
Adding packages works similar; All you need to have is the PKGBUILD in an ABS-like tree (it doesn't have to be the official tree; gensync doesn't care where the files come from. Just stick to one subdirectory per PKGBUILD, and you'll be fine), and the matching packages somewhere else, run gensync with the appropriate directories, and cackle with glee.
HTH.

Not exactly your own app store, but close. Apple has an App Store Volume Purchasing Program for Business > http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/
It allows you to purchase apps in any quantity you desire and pay using a company credit card. You will receive a spreadsheet of redeem codes which you distribute to your emloyees. The program guide has complete information > http://images.apple.com/business/docs/VPP_Business_Guide_US.pdf

I just purchased an Iphone and love it except I'm surprised and annoyed that there is no way to create a group within contacts. I coach a youth basketball team and routinely want to fire off a mass email or text to the same group. Am I missing something?

When I click on my contacts icon on my phone there is a Groups choice in the upper left hand corner. Make sure you are in All Contacts and not a specific person.

HT3529 group texting. is there a way to create group texting without downloading an app?

i send a group text every night for my job and I want to know if there is a way to create a group text so i don't have to click on each contact everytime

I don't use group messageing but I believe that once you send it to the group the first time you should be able to open the conversation and send a new message to the same group without re-addressing. As you may know, there are apps that will create groups for text messaging (like Speed Names).

SCOM 2012 - Is there a way to create a class/target/group based on the presence of a folder?

I need to create monitor(s) for an application, but the application services are different on all the servers. Usually I would find a application service that is common among all the servers I want to monitor to create the target,
but this does not exist. There are no common services for this application. However, every server does have a common folder in the Program Files on the C: drive (i.e. "xyz" folder exist on every server for the application).
Is there a way to create a target based on a folder in the Programs Folder?

Please refer to the following, which is quite exactly fit your requirement.

Is there a way to create user logins or some other way to ...

Is there a way to create user logins or some other grouping for a set of applications to use (memory) resources optimally -- for example only mail and Safari and Word in one grouping and another for Safari and an audio recording application, etc.?

It is possible to use Parenal Controls to limit which applications can be used be a particular user account.
But it's not really necessary as far as managing memory.

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,
H
