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,

  • I would like to only have one address book, the iCloud one, on my iPhone. How can I do this?

    As the question says. On my iphone I have two Contacts 'On my iPhone' and 'iCloud' but I would just like to have the iPhone one as this is just duplicate of the one on my iphone!
    Or am I missing the point of having the two?

    Made a typo in my question -- it should have read

  • 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

    Until I tunes match comes out it does not matter.  I cloud is for e mail, contacts, and calendars.  Your I cloud ID MUST be an @me.com ID.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • I have business and personal e-mail accounts with different contacts. Can I have more than one address book on my iPhone?

    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.

  • 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.

  • One Computer, Two Users, One Address Book

    This question came up in the dim and distant past without a solution and I was wondering if there was one to it in the here and now.
    My wife and I share 1 MacBookPro
    We each have a user account.
    I have a full .Mac account
    She has a .Mac Email Account
    We would like to have only one address book or at least have the same info in each of our respective address books. (not too big a request?)
    I just can't find out how to do this other than her having a full .Mac account too which is just plain expensive overkill just to sync two address books!
    Is there a way to do this please?

    It can certainly be done. If you are sharing one computer, then with the right permissions and linking, you can use the same address book.
    All the Address Book information is in a folder Library/Application Support/AddressBook in a user's home directory.
    If you make an alias of all the files in that folder from your directory and put them in the same folder in your wife's home directory, and then ensure that both you and your wife have access to read and write all of those files, it should work.
    As a result when either of you is using Address Book, you would be using the same files and the same data. Each will see the updates of the other.
    If the permissions are not right, AddressBook will hang, and you have to force quit, but otherwise, it seems to work OK.

  • Contact with more than two Addresses on Bold not all showing on device

    I have a blackberry bold and noticed that when i input more than 2 addresses in Outlook on the desktop, the 3rd one (called "other") shows up on the desktop but does not show on the handheld?  is this a bug or is there a trick to having all three addresses visible?  It seems odd to have the Other Option if it is i not able to be viewed remotely?  Many thanks for anyone's help here.

    You will need to "map" that other address field to your BlackBerry for syncing.
    1. Connect your BlackBerry® device to your computer.
    2. Open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
    3. Double-click Synchronize.
    4. On the Configuration tab, click Configure synch.
    5. Select the Address Book check box.
    6. Click Configure > Advanced Settings.
    7. Click Field Mapping.
    8. Map a field in the right column to a custom address book field in the left column.
    9. Click OK.

  • Syncing will change more than 5% of your calendars on this computer

    Hi all,
    I'm new to iPhone, but very familiar with Mac. When I attempt to sync my iPhone to my calendars in iTunes I get the message that syncing "will change more than 5% of the calendars on this computer."
    What's this mean?
    I always hit cancel because I don't want to lose any calendar info on my Mac.
    I'm attempting to sync 9 or 10 iCal calendars.
    I'm sure this has been well covered in these forums, but I'm able to find my answer.
    Thanks!

    What's this mean?
    Basically you have more or newer info on one side of the syncing devices.
    Click on Details when you get this message and you'll see the entries that differ on the phone based calendars. One solution could be to set up your calendar on your computer as desired and replace the calendar info on the phone during the next sync. Click the option in the info pane/ advanced section in itunes with your phone connected.

  • Multiple address books on the same computer: How to

    Hi!
    I'll get in the near future my wife's iPhone 3G (unless she keeps it and take her 3GS instead) - but want want to be 100% sure we can have separate address books on the same computer. The question is simple: how do we go about that?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi!
    If it's just the address book that should be different: in iTunes, you can specify for each device what it should sync. For your contacts, you can specify in iTunes which contact groups to sync (at least on my Mac using Address Book I can).
    Does this mean I need to create separate contact groups in the same address book file or can I create a second file? I'd much rather use the second solution. The first solution would in fact mean creating three groups: "His", "Hers" and "Both". This is a shotcut for contact management nightmares!
    Thanks in advance,
    Claude

  • I bought an iphone 4. I have a MacBook Core Duo running 10.4. My husband has a Core Duo 2 running 10.5.8. Is there a way to move my ical and address book info. to his computer so I can sync with my new iphone?

    I bought an iphone 4. I have a MacBook Core Duo running 10.4. My husband has a Core Duo 2 running 10.5.8. Is there a way to move my ical and address book info. to his computer so I can sync with my new iphone without upgrading software.

    Hello hbell,
    is there any reason that you do not want
    to upgrade to v10.5.? Suggest you call
    1-800-275-2273 Apple Support. Automated call
    yet if you call back you can get in touch with an
    Apple Software Specialist. They may be able to ship
    you Leopard so that you can synch your new iPhone
    to you own computer. Have the serial numbers of your
    Mac and iPhone written down and ready for them.
    As far as transferring data to your husbands MacBook
    so that you can sync your iPhone on it I am really not
    sure. Seems like a lot of trouble to get your data onto
    your iPhone.
    Good Luck,
    A

  • 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.
