Multiple contacts in one business card in Address book

Does anyone know if it is possible to add more then one contact into the same card. I have business contacts where sometimes I have two reps I work with. It would be great to have them on the same business card in the Addy book.
Any ideas.

You may need to use Add Field in Preferences/Templates to turn it on for new cards, or Card/Add Field for individual cards. Once on it can have label values such as "Friend" "Father" "Assistant" etc, or of course you can set your own. You put a name in the value portion of the field; subsequently clicking on the label allows opening of the card with the related name. You can have multiple related names on a contact card.
Unfortunately you can't set up the link automatically; it would be nice if you could drop one card on another and it would prompt you for which related field label to use.
You could for example have a master card for some company that you do business with, and on that card put links to the various people within the company.

  • HT2486 Is there a way to save business cards in address book, by scanning or the camera on the iMac.

    Hi All,
                at times we feel that the business card sent by the client or friend is also necessary for future. is there any way we could save the jpeg of the card by a click onto the address book in the mac.
                It would be cool if we could make some use of the camera in the front to take a snap shot of the bc.
    Regards

    I appreciate the link but wasnt really looking to go through a 100+ page iphone guide.  From what I saw, it said what other people have told me - which is it will sync contacts from Google (Gmail) or Yahoo...so that doesnt mean it will sync contacts directly from an Android phone's contact list.  All the manual said was you sync thru itunes.
    It looks like what I should do at some point is manually input all my contacts into a new "clean and unused" Gmail account...Unless there was an easy way to transfer my Mac Address Book to a Gmail Account.
    It seems like if you have contacts in a Gmail account, it will be easy to transfer anywhere.
    Im starting to wonder if an Android would be bette than an iphone anyway.  Considering the nightmare time Ive had with a Mac in just a few months, Im surprised Im even still considering another Apple product.
    Thanks

  • Address Book - Create multiple contacts at one company?

    I am using Address Book v 4.0.4 and I want to be able to create multiple contacts at one company without having to reenter the Company, Tel. and Address information each time.
    Is there a way to duplicate an address, say the basic company address, to make the process of entering multiple people at one company any faster?
    Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks, Michel

    I talked to Apple today and here is how you create multiple contacts at one address, company etc. without having to reenter everything.
    1) In Address Book, highlight a contact in the name list
    2) Go to the Edit Menu & COPY
    3) Go back to the Edit Menu & PASTE
    4) Make changes to the new 'duplicated' contact
    Seems easy if you know how to do it.

  • How can I copy all the info from a contact card in address book to paste into a documnent?

    How can I copy all the info from a contact card in address book to paste into a documnent?

    You can do that in FCPX too, as all the things you cited are listed separately in the inspector.
    Here's a little gotcha. Let's say you've color corrected a few clips and you've applied an effect to one and want to paste it the other clips. You switch off color correction and copy the clip. You select the other clips and paste effects. What do you think happens? The effect is applied, but the color correction is applied as well, only it's switched off as it was in the first clip, so all the color correction on the other clips is lost. Fun, eh?
    I'll try to replicate your gotcha - but no, that doesn't sound like fun at all!

  • Contact photos are not showing up in Mail message list, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it.

    I'm using Mail 5.3 and Address Book 6.1.3 on X 10.7.5. I want my contact photos to show up in the message list on Mail, but only some of them do, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it. I've even tried replacing a photo that doesn't show up with a photo that does show up for a different contact but no luck. I am syncing to one other Mac, an iPhone and an iPad via iCloud.

  • How do I create a duplicate card in Address Book?

    I have searched and found plenty of posts on how to FIND, MERGE or DELETE duplicate cards in Address Book...
    - But I want to CREATE a duplicate card. In other words, if I want to create separate cards for 2 married people with the same last name, address and home phone number, is there a fast way to create a second card without having to manually fill in all contact info?
    Also, WHERE does one post Address Book questions? This was just a guess.
    Thanks.
    Robert

    I think I understand your question and if so, this is a decently speedy workaround.
    1) Create your first card with say the husbands name
    2) Go to File > Export > Export vCard
    3) Change the name of the card that is in Address Book to the other person ie. the wifes name
    4) Go to File > Import > Import vCard (shortcut is Command+O)
    5) Now you will have the original vCard you created which is the husbands name and you will have the wife's name as well because you just changed it.
    You can import and export multiple vCards at once so you can create all of them, export them, change all the names, and then re import.
    Hope this helps!

  • Drag card from Address Book adds a row?

    I have a small table in an estimating spreadsheet into which I can drag a card from AddressBook.app. That populates the table with name, address, etc., providing info that is picked up elsewhere in the file. In my old template, this worked fine. But I must have changed something (or perhaps it's just the new Numbers '09 update) because now when I drag a card, Numbers inserts a new row to hold the card's info, pushing everything on the page down to make room.
    Does anyone know why it's doing this, and how I can turn that "feature" off? Thanks!

    More on this subject: As a test, I dragged a single V-card from Address Book into a blank area of a spreadsheet. As it's supposed to, Numbers created a table with all the card's information.
    I then deleted the data but left the header row exactly as Numbers created it. Then I dragged the same V-card back onto the now-blank cells. This time, it added TWO new rows. One above the data and one below.
    Weird behavior, eh? Anyone else seeing this kind of thing happening?

  • How to copy addresses (not email) between cards in Address Book?

    I can not copy and paste postal addresses between cards in Address Book. I select the address in one card, Copy, and when I select another card the Paste option is grayed out. Copying postal addresses line by line between cards is quite tedious. Is there a better method?

    While I can't offer a solution I can offer some commiseration. I have been trying to do the same thing and am stumped by both Address Books numerous deficiencies and the forums silence.

  • Mail thinks I am a different card in Address Book

    For a couple of days now, when I receive new mail, Mail displays the name from a different card in the address book in the "To" section. It should recognize "my card" from the address book, but is picking up my entry for my AAA membership card in address book.
    Anyone know of a way to unconfuse Mail on this point?
    Thanks much! Mary-Chicago

    It shows "AAA" and it shows my e-mail address correctly....and when I select Open in Address Book, it takes me to the AAA card.....AHA! Thank you for leading me to figuring this out!
    In my address book card for AAA, I made 2 custom entries....I am tracking both AAA memberships, for myself and my daughter. I am using 2 of my e-mail addresses to do this, so in my AAA address book card, I listed these 2 accounts with reminders of which e-mail I am using for each of us. Mail FOUND the e-mail address on this AAA address book card and since that e-mail is associated with my Mail account, it apparently adopted this card as me for incoming mail. As soon as I adjusted this on the AAA card to be a hint rather than the actual e-mail address, the problem was immediately fixed in Mail!
    Thanks so much for helping me find this.....was a strange one.

  • How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book?

    How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book? Everytime I write an email on the Apple mail app (as well as in Gmail) it recommends a bunch of emails that are not my contacts. I want it to just autofill for the contacts that I have in my address book. Is this possible? Thank you. I have an Imac Intel version and an Iphone 5 phone.

  • Ical alarm default email is incorrect, how do I change it to match "my card" in address book.

    When I create a new event in Ical the default email that appears in the ical alarm drop down menu is incorrect.  I have changed My Card in Address Book to match my new email address but ical still wants to use the old email address.  I have also completely deleted the old email account from Mail too.  Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    If you've updated the account to have the correct email email address on the other devices tap on the old id id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out of it and then log back in with the updated version of the account so as to 'refresh' the account on them.

  • One of my 2 address books can no longer be viewed, how do I access it?

    ''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1051908 /questions/1051908]''
    one of my 2 address books can no longer be viewed, how do I access it? It disappeared within the last few days. I can still find addresses that are in the 2nd address book, but I cannot view it, so only 1/8 of my addresses are now viewable. How do I access the 2nd address book?

    Hi ronc2, there isn't a specific setting for this. Firefox's built-in JavaScript settings allow you to control several aspects of scripts*, but unfortunately not this one.
    I previously tried to find some other options for individually turning off this event, but I couldn't find a way. Someone might be able to create an add-on to solve this problem, but it will take someone cleverer than I.
    Extensions that disable scripts on a site-specific basis:
    * If you regularly visit some sites which do this, you can block JavaScript on that specific site using the YesScript extension. Unfortunately, other script-based functionality will be blocked as well.
    * YesScript does not preemptively block scripts on every site. If you have to visit a lot of random sites and want to take a paranoid approach of having scripting blocked until you see as much of the site as you can see without running scripts, then the NoScript extension would be for you. But even then it's "all or nothing".
    ''* These include: JavaScript enabled yes/no, override right-click menu yes/no, change order of windows yes/no, move and resize windows yes/no, close windows yes/no, specific features of pop-up windows, change images yes/no, detect copy/cut/paste and modify selection yes/no.''

  • Cannot transfer contacts from iPhone 3GS to Mac Address book

    Hi there
    I've been searching for an answer all over these forums and google, but to no avail.
    I'm using a 3GS and I'm on Snow Leopard on the mac.
    I have tried resetting the sync utility settings and all other tweaks with the phone and the iTunes panels, but I simply cant add any of the numbers that I have added to my phone on to the mac address book. The contacts are transferred to iCloud though. But there is no way to export the iCloud contacts over to the mac address book either. I have to now manually search for all the new contacts I've added (which is a project in itself) and retype it in the mac address book. Pretty ridiculous!!!!!
    Is there a fix for this or is Apple wanting everyone to buy Lion to use the dektop version of iCloud.
    Please let me know
    Thanks
    Best regards

    Hi guys
    Managed to find the solution
    1) On the iPhone go to settings > iCloud > Switch off contacts. (Keep contacts on phone)
    2) Then on the mac go to address book and make an archive of your contacts just in case something goes wrong. You can do this by going to File > Export > Create an archive.
    3) Then delete all the contacts and groups from your mac address book.
    4) Then go to iTunes and backup by right clicking on the iPhone on the sidbar.
    5) Sync
    Your contacts from the phone should repopluate the mac address book
    Hope that helps. It worked for me
    Best regards

  • Adding my card from Address book

    Does anyone know how to add My Card from Address book to my signature everytime you send an email from mail? I'm migrating from Windows and outlook.

    When creating a signature you can drag n drop your vcard onto the window.
    Mail--> preferences--> signatures click the + sign create your signature and drag n drop your vcard.
    Then from the drop down menu at the bottom of the signature windon choose your default signature.
    Then it will add that file every time you add your signature to your message.
