Smart Groups possible in Address Book for PANTHER?

Can you tell me if "SMART GROUPS" is just something in TIGER's version of ADDRESS BOOK or do these exist in PANTHER as well? Actually, I'm not sure what they are, but someone mentioned that I should use them...
Thanks very much!
Regards,
Steve

Steve,
"Smart Groups" are not available in Panther. This is the Tiger definition of Address Book Smart Groups: Smart Groups are group addresses that Address Book automatically updates with new contacts when they fit the criteria you've specified for that group. For example, if you create a Smart Group for all the members of your swim club by searching for "swim" in the Note field, then every time you add or change a contact and put "swim" in the Note field, that contact is automatically added to your swim club Smart Group.
You can also create a Smart Group by entering a word or phrase in the search field in the upper-right corner of the Address Book window, then choosing "Save Search" from the Action pop-up menu near the upper-left corner of the Address Book window.;~)

    How do I delete Smart Group in my address book without deleting all my addresses

    deleting a smart group will have no effect on any addresses in your address book. just select the group and press "delete".

  • Still no Smart Group syncing in Address Book???

    I do not understand why it is still not possible (after nine revisions of Tiger) to sync Smart Groups across .Mac Sync between two computers. iTunes syncs Smart Playlists with my iPod. Mail syncs Smart Mailboxes. What on earth is the hold-up with Address Book? Can anyone shed some light on this? Smart Groups are a feature that I use every day, and not having them on one system is a royal pain.

    Have you sent the suggestion to Address Book developers by going to the Mac OS X tab above and then Feedback? You should also go to .Mac and then Feedack to get your suggestion to .Mac. Only features with enough demand make it into software updates.

  • How do I send a group from my address book to someone else?

    How do I SEND A GROUP FROM MY ADDRESS BOOK TO SOMEONE ELSE.

    Yes you can by creating a group and then dragging the contacts in to it. However, since iCloud, the Edit Distribution List feature has been grayed out. Without that feature, it is not possible to specifically select a single email address for those contacts that have multiple email addresses. A major flaw that will hopefully be fixed.

  • Company's Address Book for external contacts

    Hi all,
    I'm currently deploying a new Exchange 2013 in a company who had a different email system, so far.
    One of the achievement would be to have an address book for external names (so, not in AD) shared within the company but managed only by a restrict number of people.
    As example, list of vendors contact. The list should be available read only for everyone, but only the IT Infrastructure and few other people in the management should be able to add/remove/change the items.
    Whato would be, in your opinion, the best solution to achieve that?
    I was thinking using Public Folder. Create a sub-PF of contact objects and restrict permission accordingly. The only issue I can see, so far, is that seems not possible grant permission on a group basis to PF. Am I missing something here? It's the first
    time I'm working with PF in several years :)
    However, if there's a different solution you may advice, I'm all ears.
    Any suggestion would be highly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance to everyone.
    Alessandro.

    I was able to solve this myself.
    Security groups has to be enabled on Exchange before being used to assign permission to PFs:
    Enable-DistributionGroup -identity <SecurityGroup>
    Add-PublicFolderClientPermission -User "<SecurityGroup>" -AccessRights
    '<AccessLevel>'
    Hope this helps someone.

  • I have created a group in my address book, but when I try to use it to send out a group email, only a comma shows up. How do I send out an email using my new group contact list?

    I have created a group in my address book, but when I try to use it to send mail, only a comma shows up. How can I send mail using my new group? I have an IMac with OSLion.

    I will agree with you on this one. Version 31 and all the fixes so far are a mess. Since I have been here answering questions for a little more than a year now I have learned to wait to upgrade until all the dust settles. I see no end to the dust storm version 31 has caused. I am still on version 24.6 and plan on staying there for the duration. At least until the developers comes to their senses and put out a working product.

  • Separate address book for my wife and I

    I reently switched to Mac and this is driving me crazy. I would like to keep our computer under one user so we don't have to switch user profiles to access her address book or if I update and address in my book, it doesn't get updated in hers. But, when I go to address e-mails I don't want her huge list of names being auto-suggested and me having to sift through all of her addresses in order to find the people I want to address the email to. The question: Is there a way to keep all of our addresses in one address book (one user profile), but when I am logged into my mail, Mail knows to only look in MY address group for the email addresses I specify, instead of pulling up my wife's rediculous sized (and often unorganized) bunch of addresses. I don't want to accidentally slip up with the arrow keys and add one of her recipients to an outgoing email. Sometimes my wife's friends wouldn't appreciate emails that guys send to each other if you know what I mean...
    Thanks for any help...and please tell me there is a way to separate my wifes email address book from mine...please tell me Mac thought of this.
    PS I've tried the whole 2 user profiles thing and the idea of seperate address books for updating sake and other reasons, I'd like to try the single profile thing.

    I thought Mac would be better with their mail client than this.
    But Mail has nothing to do with this at all. Address Book is a completely separate application, and it's that way for good reason; it's not merely a whim.
    I can't imagine what Mac is thinking that if a family of 5 uses the family computer, that all 5 people's email addresses clog up the search for the person writing the email at the time.
    Each user has a separate Address Book (and other applications like Mail and Safari) to keep that exact scenario from happening, as well as to keep people out of each other's accounts so things don't go missing, private emails aren't being read by overly curious people, and so your account doesn't get screwed up by someone else playing with things they shouldn't be touching.
    Are there any third party apps or plugins I can download in order to tell Mail that when I am in my account to only search for the contacts in a certain group that I create?
    Sorry, but there's no such things available. It would be impossible for your Mac to become sentient and know what you created versus someone else creating.

  • Why are none of the groups in my Address Book showing up the address book tool in the new message window in Mail? Actually how do I get the two to match?

    I seem to have lost the groups from my Address Book in the address book tool in Mail. When I try to address a new email, all my contacts are grouped under all and the other groups found in my Address Book application are missing. Is there a way to get the groups to show up in the address book within Mail?

    When you make changes in AB, quit Mail for the changes to be added to Mail's database file. Reopen Mail and try it.

  • Can not make Groups work in Address Book

    I'm running Mac OS X v10.7.4 with the latest version of Address Book. I'm new to Apple and am trying to set up groups in Address Book for ease of mailing to a number of contacts.
    I'm connected to iCloud and am able to create  group names under iCloud. I can also drag contacts into a group from my iCloud contact list to populate it and the names are displayed on the opposing page from the page listing the group names. However, when I enter the group name into a Mail message address box the box remains blank. Also, if I right click on the group name in the group list and select "Send an e-mail to the group" that will open a "new message" window but again the "to box" will be empty. When I click on a group name and then select from the task bar "Edit>Edit Distribution List..." that choice is grayed out and non-responsive. So I end up with a defined group with group members in it but it can not be edited nor available for actually addressing an e-mail message.
    However, this is the weird part: What I described above was my effort yesterday, trying to get Groups going and finally shutting down in frustration. Today when I opened Address Book the groups worked! I could address e-mail messages using either method. The "Edit Distribution List..." was active and I was able to modify my group members. I was so elated that I immediately created another group. Alas, it behaved as the other groups did yesterday. The group was populated but unable to be inserted in the "to box" and I was unable to edit the distribution list. Also, after creating the new group, yesterday's groups would no longer permit being edited although I was able to earlier in the day. However, the addresses still appear in the "to box" when I invoke the group.
    I am confused and frustrated. Do I have an incorrect setting that hinders the use of groups? Is there some system reset or iCloud update that occurs on a daily basis that activated the groups created yesterday? Why would my creating a new group cause me to loose the ability to edit any of the groups?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for reading such a long message.
    Mike

    Eureka. You are right. I just tested closing and reopening Mail and now today's groups work. Regarding editing the existing groups, I found an article from 2011 on CNet that claimed that iCloud disables the Distribution List Editor. The work around is to create a single dummy group under "On My Mac" which will reactivate the editor which can then be used for iCloud groups. I tested this and it works.
    Thank you so much for your prompt and helpful comment.

  • I am trying to create a group in the address book.  When I drag over the contacts from the contact list they duplicate in the address book. I am using "Lion"

    Hi cavu10horses,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has instructions for changing a contact's photo using a photo from iPhoto's Faces feature:
    Contacts: Add or change contact pictures
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11580
    Select a contact or your own card, and then double-click the picture well.
    Select a picture:
    Drag an image to the picture well.
    Click Camera to take a picture.
    If you have pictures in iPhoto, click the Faces button to use a face from iPhoto.
    If the contact is linked (it’s in multiple accounts, but displayed only once in Contacts) and has multiple account pictures, click Linked.
    Click Edit to edit the picture.
    To zoom in and out of the picture, drag the slider. Drag the picture to change which part of it is visible.
    To rotate the picture, hold down the Option key while you click and drag the picture.
    To apply special effects, click the Effects Gallery button and choose an effect.
    Click Done.

  • Can not Create Address Book for new Supplier

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a supplier in R12. Under create Address Book for the supplier, I have created the address and when I select the operating unit and click apply, I am getting the following error:
    Address and Site Creation - Unable to create address and sites because of the following error when trying to create the site in operating unit [Anirudh Operations]: [ORA-01403: no data found in Package AP_VENDOR_PUB_PKG Procedure Validate_Vendor_Site]. Either resolve this issue and try again or deselect the operating unit with the error and continue. Note: any new address requires at least one site in order to be created.
    Oracle Version: 12.0.4 - Vision Database.
    Am I doing something wrong here?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sasibindu.

    Looks like the responsibility you are using is pointing to a new operating unit created by some one. But for that operating unit all the fundamental options are not complete (financial, purchasing, payables and so on). Hence you are getting this error.
    If they are setup, you can try adding this operating unit into your security group associated to the MO: Security group profile and try.
    If not use the Vision Operations responsibility and give it a try.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I am doing the same thing too. I have to call my reports thru menu. I tried web.show_document in my menu and it works. I also added paramform=yes and it gives the report parameters, but I want to give the user the choice of format for the reports. eg. pdf, html, excel, etc. instead of hardcoding it.
    Could you please give me some idea on how can I do that??

    You will need to check to see how you configured CCM Enterprise parameters. most of the time, the pararemeters need to be set to IP address, not hostname. I find hostnames for the CM servers to be a pain in the rear for "services" "directories" etc.
    Unless you want to configure DNS on the IP phones to resolve the hostname of the CM5 server, then then it will also work. But your problem is that your phones configs think that the Directories URL is http://cmhostname/xxx/xx instead of URL http://ipaddresscmserver/xxx/xx

    The native mail app in iOS does not support group mailings (groups in contacts are just an organizing and filtering tool for the contacts app). You will need to select the recipients one at a time or explore alternate mail apps that handle group mailing (distribution lists).
