Viewing my address book by Company

Hi, I changed to MAIL. I am using Address Book now. Is there any way to see the cards order by Company instead of by Name?
Thanks
Lourdes
g4   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

I too just switched from Entourage and wanted to view by company. I went though all my contacts and clicked company. I purchased an iPhone and what I found out is that because it was listed as company vs. person - I couldn't send them emails from the iPhone - it was attaching the company name to the email address - thus making it an incorrect email address. I had to go back through and unselect company and then I was able to send mail from the iPhone. That issue didn't happen if I was using Mail on my machine though.
I did find out that if you search for a company - all the people that are associated with that company comes up (even if the company box isn't selected).

  • How do I sort my address book by company name

    My new iPhone comes tomorrow. I need to sort my address book in iCloud by company name, not last name first name. If I cant do this is there a third party software I can download for an address book that will allow me to do this?
    PS I am currently not using an iPhone and am manually entering addresses.

    Enable the menu in the Address Book. Then look at the options under View and Sort By.

  • List view in Address Book

    I have recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, but notice in Address Book that prefixes(Mr, Mrs etc) do not appear in the list view, but do on the card. In Leopard the prefixes appear in both views. Is this just a fault in the program, or can it be rectified?

    I'm going to bump this up - I, too have this problem/question. Any suggestions?

  • How to revert to Classic view in Address Book?

    I tried to use it, but this NEW look of Address Book in LION is just a worthless pile of junk!
    Not only is fake book look out of place and a ridiculous addition to a MODERN OS, but I'm also getting sick of the new trend to hide info that was once easy to see with no extraneous need for interaction. 
    This new 2 column view is full of new extra mouse clicks.
    I want the old CLEAN CLASSIC 3 COLUMN VIEW back!! 
    I want to see "Groups", "Names" and "Individual" info all at the same times!

    The 10.8 Beta is under NDA, which is why I did not want to get more specific. I am one of the testers and can assure Address Book salvation there. But I still think it should be fixed in 10.7 as well…

  • View all address book contacts?

    I've used Outlook on my work PC for the last couple of years. One feature I like is the ability to view all contacts at once, in a grid view, when you click the Contacts button. Is there a Mac Mail plugin that would give me a similar view of my Address Book contacts? Thanks.

    well you could print the address book to PDF. but that only give you a list in a grip. You wouldn't be able to edit the contacts. You could get entourage for the mac (Microsoft's version of outlook for the mac)

  • Increasing size of the display view of address book

    Can the display of address book be increased in size? Or can the display of the fonts be increased in size? It is hard for me to see.

    Andrea,
    It seems to me that there is no way to do this across the board. Seems like there should be, however.
    There is a way to temporarily increase the size of a phone number so you can see it more easily when dialing. In the listings for the contact you are interested in, click on the label (mobile, home, etc) to the left of the phone number and then choose large type. This will display the phone number in VERY LARGE type. To revert to normal, just click on the big number.
    This is certainly not a solution to your problem. I'm surprised that there is no apparent font adjustment in Address Book.
    Regards,
    Steve M.

  • IMAC - lost view of Address book/Contacts and System Preferences

    Need help.  Contacts and System Preferences show they are open, but never show up on the screen

    Resolved!

  • Address Book, no sort by company?

    I'm newish to the Mac world and in the Address Book I noticed that you cant sort by Company. That seems very lame to me. Ok for my wife, but not for me. I'm I missing something on the ability to sort my address book by company?

    You should have a group called "business" and if you enter company in edit And you check mark "company on the card", you'll have the proper setup in your address card.
    If for some reason you don't have that group you can create it by hitting the + button on the sidebar.
    If you don't have a sidebar go to your View menu and choose "card and columns".
    EDIT: Since you now have a Mac please list its specs in "My Settings" on the sidebar over here --- >

  • How do I access my address book when forwarding an email to multiple addresses. I want to be able to view the names and click on them.

    I'm trying to forward an email to multiple addresses.  I want to be able to view my address book and click on the names I want to the email sent to. How can I do this. Have a MacBook Pro. Thanks.

    this is not MBPro forum.
    you want Maill Community and if you want to lean how to use Mail, start with Help menu and then I assume you would use BCC

  • Address Book window not visible

    Have a strange problem with Address Book on a friend's new 27-inch iMac.
    When Address Book is launched, the menus appear at the top of the screen but there is no window. Some menu items are greyed out but some are visible. Have tried various things:
    Window > Address Book does not make the window appear. Repaired permissions, removed .plist files.
    Can view the Address Book entries from the Address Book button in Mail.
    Any ideas, anyone?

    Start by backing up the user/Library/Application Support/Addressbook folder.
    In that folder is a file called AddressBook-v22.abcddb. Delete that and start address book. That will delete the index and have AB recreate it. I don't know if that is the problem, but may be.
    On a different tack, download and install the 10.6.3 combo updater. It may fix what is broken. However, most problems are data-related, not the application itself.
    Can you log into a different user and open Address Book? Just create a new user account for testing, if there isn't another. I keep one just for checking stuff like this. Checking in a different user will tell us if it is a system-wide problem, or just that one particular user.

  • What's with the double window appearing out of nowhere in Address Book?

    There is one window visible all through the Time Machine process until the very end when suddenly a phantom Address book window appears.
    To recreate:
    Open Address Book
    Open Time Machine
    Scroll to the oldest address book window in TM
    Click Cancel
    TM returns to present and as TM quits the two windows appear.

    I duplicated this, and indeed, a second window shows up. However, it vanishes in less than a second on my machine. I believe it's the one shown while in Time Machine mode; apparently, when viewing the address book, Time Machine moves back to "real time" before closing the window, the opposite of what one usually sees. Are you saying that in your case, the second window stays open?

  • Mac OS X v10.7 Lion How to Tell Which Groups an Address Book Entry Is In?

    Under Snow Leopard's address book, I could press the Option key and it would highlight which groups the selected address book entry was in. How do I do that with Lion's address book?

    Hey Mr. Picasso,
    You need to be in "Groups" View in Address Book. Hit Command-3 to get there.
    Then click (highlight) an address book entry on the right hand page.
    Next, hit the Option key. The groups that the entry belongs to will highlight in blue on the left hand page.
    BTW, to me the "highlight in blue text" is badly chosen by Apple, 'cause it is hardly discernable from the other "black on white" texts. No way to change it, AFAIK. The old "yellow highlight" worked much better, IMHO.

  • Address Book data GONE!

    I;m shocked. Address Book froze on my today and when I restarted my machine, all data was GONE! Went to library and tried to use "previous" - nothing.
    I do have an older back up from few days back on my PowerBook, but I'm still kind of in shock at what happened. I'm not used to apps freezing on me in OSX?
    Isn't there a single data file AB works "out of"? I understand about creating a back up and I do have some, but I'm still kind of wondering how is it possible that AB doesn't have an actual file where it works "out of".
    I never had freezes like this working on my PBG4 for a year and a half now. With this new PowerMac G5, (I've had it now for about 2 weeks), I've had several OSX apps freeze on me for no apparent reason. I don't get it. When I was in Winland, this was "normal", but after a 1,5 year on OSX, I'm spoiled and not used to apps crashing and freezing on me.
    Any ideas anyone?

    I have just experienced the same problem. Mail was in the background, as I was composing a new email, but I was also adding a new contact to Address Book (a "Company" contact). I got the spinning beach ball for both Mail and Address Book, and quit each regularly (they quit without having to force-quit them).
    I opened Address Book immediately after, and all my contacts were deleted except for my own default one (missing information) and Apple's.
    ~/Users/Justin/Library/Application Support/AddressBook had renamed a file to AddressBook.data.previous, but after changing the name back to AddressBook.data, Address Book did not recognize it, and it's not import-able. Spotlight turns up nothing on any of my old contacts. Recovered Files did not appear in the Trash following a reboot. I'm stuck.
    I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.5 on a PowerBook G4 1.5GHz, 1GB RAM, 80GB.
    This is a major problem, especially seeing as years worth of contact info was in this address book. A very old backup is all I have left.

  • Sort address book (and show) company names

    Hi all,
    I would like to be able to do the following in Address book. Any help/suggestions would be most appreciated:
    1) Display a contacts First/Last name and the company they work for in the list of names
    2) Sort the list of contacts by company they work for
    The reason I want to do this is so that for our media list we can put in the individual PR contacts names, email address and blog, website etc they work for and then be able to quickly see this information without having to click on each one. It will also speed up dragging multiple contacts to one email.
    I realise that you can use groups to do this but it seems somewhat pointless to have one group per blog sometimes with only one contact in it and anyway why bother having the company info in the first place.
    It does seem somewhat strange that the list view cannot at least show some pertinent info about each contact without having to click on them...

    you should back up your whole system not just those two files. then you'll never miss anything. what's your backup setup?
    the address book data is stored in home directory/library/application support/address book and the ical data in home directory/library/calendars.
