More than one address book account

Does anyone know if its possible to have more than one address book account.
I have two e-mail addresses, one work and one personal and I want to use address book for my contacts. Is it possible to keep these two lists of contacts separate in Address Book on a mac and if so how.
The problem is I sometimes have to export my business address book and don't want to send personal contacts.
Does anyone have a solution??

You could always create 2 groups in address book, one for business and one for personal. You will then have an "all contacts" list which will have them mixed, but you can also view by group, which will show just business or just personal. When you need to export, just export the business group.

    Set up an additional user account and use one for work and one for personal stuff - each will have a separate address book. Turn on fast user switching for easy switching between the two.

  • More than one address book

    I know there are groups in the address book, but I have a reason to want to not include all the addresses in one address book. Is it possible to have more than one address book on my IMac G5 running Tiger? If so, how would I do it?
    Also, I am having a problem sending to a large group of 155. The message comes back that it cannot send because of a syntax error. Could that be caused by importing my addresses from an older system? Does anyone have a quick method for testing to see which is the bad email address that is causing the problem? I know the problem is not with the server because I can still send to this group on my older Mac running 9.2 system.

    I see two possibilities, neither of them very convenient. One is two set up a separate user account. Each account will have its own address book, and you will need to switch between accounts to switch books. The other is to have a second address book stored somewhere away from ~/Library/Application Support/AddessBook/AddressBook.data. You would move the current book to the desktop and drag in the alternate to use it. You could set up a script to move them around. I see great opportunities for getting them confused! A variant on this, perhaps simpler and more reliable, would be to use the AB backup facility to keep two separate backups - restore whichever you currently need.
    Can you give more details of the syntax error? Where is it coming from?

  • Can i have more than one address book

    Is it possible to have more than one address book on my computer.  I would like to have 2 so I can use one for personal and use one for special projects

  • More than one ADDRESS BOOK possible on one computer?

    I would like to have a BUSINESS and a PERSONAL address book on one computer. Is this possible? I would then open one "address book file" for all my business contacts; another for personal ones.
    OR IF NOT POSSIBLE-- or maybe less confusing-- a way to sort business from personal?
    Thanks for any comments.

    Create a couple of Smart Groups. Make one business
    and one personal. Make sure you pick a parameter
    that you know you will put in all of your business
    contacts.
    I believe "Smart Groups" must be only available in Tiger-- I am running Panther but will be moving to Tiger later this month. I did create several GROUPS, but not certain about the definition of a "Smart Group". Thanks for any comments,

  • More than one paid books account?

    I made a paid books account.
    in spite of being 100% shure to have done so, the support said (by e-mail) it is NOT a paid, but a free account.  without giving further instruction what to do now. or explaining if the status "free" might be due to the fact that it not "validated" yet.
    now I wonder if I should make a new one (with another apple id), just in case the account is  really not a paid books one. I ask that to avois further confusion.

    You could always create 2 groups in address book, one for business and one for personal. You will then have an "all contacts" list which will have them mixed, but you can also view by group, which will show just business or just personal. When you need to export, just export the business group.

  • Re:Is it possible to have more than one Address Book file

    My Address Book file has many, many contacts listed. My problem is that when I sync my iPhone with my desktop, all of the contacts go to the iPhone, even though I don't want them all in the phone. Is there a way to control the phone contacts by having two Address Book files? Or is there a better solution. Thanks.

    No, you can't have multiple Address Book files. You could create another User account on your Mac and use the Address Book in that account to hold the contacts you don't want synced to your phone. Another option would be use another application such as SBook to sync your contacts with it, then delete all the contacts you would sync with your phone from SBook and keep the ones you don't want synced in SBook.

  • Exporting more than one address book at at a time

    How can a modern system such as mozilla not have a way to export and import all one's address books at one time. The old outlook was just one shot and done. So far the only way I can export or import address books is one at a time and I have 10 books so is a pain in the butt to do. there must be a way to do this.

    J'ai aussi ce problème... depuis longtemps.
    en fait, j'aimerai pouvoir synchroniser mes carnets d'adresses entre mon ordinateur de bureau et mon ordinateur portable.
    I have that problem:
    i'd like to synchronize my address books from my tower computer to my mobile computer (the best would be a two ways synch...).
    The "save and restore" method is too heavy..
    Thanks for help; merci de toute suggestion autre que "sauvegarde" qui est un procédé lourd.

  • Merging more than one address card into the same document

    Is there a way to merge more than one address book card into the same Pages document? I am wanting to create a photo directory and I don't want more control over the formatting than Address Book would probably give me. I would like to be able to set up multiple merge fields in a Pages document, and then merge in a whole group of Address book cards and have them populate the merge fields in my pages document with probably about 4-8 address cards represented on each page. Any help you can offer would be appreciated!

    I wanted to do the same thing with tickets that had unique numbers on them, so I created a group in my address book and put the numbers in the notes section, then I made my document just a little bigger than my ticket and had the Note field in the ticket where I wanted the number. When I did the mail merge it created the tickets with the numbers, then to print I put 9 pages per sheet and that way I have 9 tickets per sheet and only 20 sheets for 180 tickets.
    Worked that way for me, hope it helps!

  • HT4436 Can i have more than one address on iCloud?

    Can i have more than one address on iCloud?
    I already have a personal one, but would like to create one for
    my business  (ie [email protected] ) 
    So that my partner and I can share data between each other
    throughout the day....
    We both already have iphones and ipads
    Do we need to buy new devices and set them up that way?

    You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    The main issue is that mail to the alias turns up in the same inbbox as that to the primary address. Though you could instead create a new iCloud account and sign into it in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, Contacts and Calendars, probably the easiest way to deal with this is to set up a Rule to move all messages to the alias to a new folder which you would create. (You do this on the iCloud website; click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Rules'.)

  • HT4314 Can I have more than one Game Center account on the same Apple ID? If so, how do I set it up?

    I am playing Clash of Clans on my iphone and on my iPad. I would like to connect each of my games to a different Game Center ID so I don't lose them if something happens to my device, but I can't figure out how to do that without creating new Apple IDs for each device and I don't want to do that. Any advice? Can I have more than one Game Center account under the same Apple ID? If so, how do I set it up? Thanks!

    If you use the same account see the following to separate Messages and FaceTime between the two iPod see:

  • Why do we need more than one retained earnings accounts & what is the use?

    Hi FI Experts,
    Why do we need more than one retained earnings accounts, what is the precise use of two?
    I know the retained earnings account is used to carry forward the balances during the year end to the balance sheet and there by making the p&L A/cs balances as zero.
    I guess the second one is used for different valueations for example  as depreciation accounts for different valuations will have different retained earnings accounts.
    Kindly correct me if I am wrong and eloborate on the use having more than one retained earnings accounts.
    with regards
    Ramesh Y

    Hi,
    Well, separate retained earnings accounts are used for parallel financial reporting, it means when you need to report in accordance with, for example, local GAAP and IFRS or US GAAP at the same time. Several retained earnings accounts  are necessary when the company chooses account based approach for parallel reporting. (GL accounts are broken down into several groups, for example you use different accounts for IFRS valuation, for local GAAP and they are also shared accounts common for both principles.)
