VIP selection will not work on contact with multiple email addresses

Trying to add more people to my VIP list. When selecting a name that has multiple email addresses, I select the address I want added and selection will not "stick" or accept that contact to VIP list.
Help?

Hiya!
Well first off... I'm baffled that you succeeded in setting up personal email without a data plan.
You need a data plan to access the BIS network which allows you web browsing (off wifi), email, BBM and the like.

Setting up one contact with multiple email addresses-i.e Family & Friends

Would like to setup one contact " Family & Friends " and show multiple email addresses - such as 20 or 30 addresses - can this be done >??

I the Ipad contact app does not handle groups. However, there are apps such as Mail2Group. They have both free (lite) and more fully featured version.

When I add a contact with multiple email addresses to an email, how do I get the email to send to both addresses?

I want to send out an email to one of the groups in my address book, but when I add the group to my email only the first email address for each contact is added. How would I make it so Mac always adds all of a contacts email addresses to the email.

I look at it like this, it was a solution to my problem. There is obviously something wrong with the new version. When everyone starts complaining, and some genius figures out the fix, then I will worry about the upgrade. Until then, I am fine with running 4.0. I have to disagree with you though. 6.0 is a downgrade for sure. There is a lot to be desired compared to this version. Who wants price gong, and screwed up emails. Not me. The problem is out there, and now someone needs to work on the bug fixes on this BETA version.

My iphone5 will not sync my contacts with my icloud account

my iphone5 will not sync my contacts with my icloud account I am signed in with the same login and password

Did you request to sync your contacts from the iPhone?

Mavericks will not sync Apple Contacts with Google, Linkedin, and Facebook?

I just upgraded to Mavericks. Here is what I find shocking...
1. Mavericks will NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
2. During the upgrade, Mavericks linked some of my Apple Contact cards with Google Contacts, but not all of them. It need to be clarified that linking is not syncing. Worse, it corrupted data, and deleted some of the contacts on Google Contacts.
3. Similarly, Apple Contacts will not sync with Linkedin or Facebook Contacts.
4. When I contacted Apple, Level 1 support had not idea and assumed that adding a Google Account with automatically sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts as it did in OS Mountain Lion. Level 2 support did not have much of an idea either, but called me this morning to say that the matter has been escalated, and confirmed that OS X Maverick does NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts.
CAUTION before upgrading to Mavericks:
5. Your Google Contacts / Android devices will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.
6. Your Facebook / Linkedin contats will not be updated by Apple Contacts, and vice-versa.
The workaround:
7. Before upgrade, ensure that your Mountain Lion or earlier address book in synced with Google Contacts.
8. After upgrade, go to Contacts > Preferences > General > Default Account, and choose your Google Account as your default account. You will now add New Contact (or update existing Google Contacts) in Google Contacts, which your android devices can sync with. You will also see your Google Contacts in Apple Contacts. However, Apple Contacts will NOT sync with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
Welcome to Mavericks...

With all due respect @McFly_Marty, kindly do not mislead readers. As funny as it may sound, but you have been taken for a royal ride by Apple Support. Keep in mind that the tough taskmaster Steve Jobs, is no longer there, and it is no surprise that Apple’s innovations are sliding.
You probably have chosen Google as your default account under "Contacts > Preferences > General > Default Account”.
Now, when you add New Contact (or update existing Google Contacts) in Google Contacts, you will also see your Google Contacts in Apple Contacts. However, Apple Contacts will NOT sync with Google Contacts and vice-versa.
Try disabling your Google account in Apple Contacts, and all your new contacts are no longer in Apple contacts. Therefore Apple contacts is not syncing with Google Contacts.
Therefore, read the following from my original post again.
“1. Mavericks will NOT sync Apple Contacts with Google Contacts and vice-versa.

How to select Contacts with identical email addresses in BB Calendar

This might seem odd, but here is my situation. The physiotherapy clinic that I visit uses a general delivery email address for all staff, therefore I have the same email address for my physiotherapist and my massage therapist. When I enter an appointment into BB Calendar and try to select the name of the correct therapist as an attendee Calendar automatically inserts the one whose name sorts first alphabetically. Is there a workaround for this behaviout?
Thanks, Frowie

Hi Boris,
The easiest way to get emails automatically sent to the same person with multiple email accounts is to duplicate the person in your Address Book and insert the secondary email address(es)
Copy and Paste within the same group saves time.
Or you can as you mention, manually add the other address.
Good Luck,
John

Address book groups: can't customize contacts with multiple email

I have many groups setup in address book and frequently like to use them. Additionally, several of my contacts assigned to groups have multiple email addresses. Is there a way to specifiy which email address of a contact's associates itself with the group? I have not been able to figure this out and am aggravated when I send out personal emails to my friends' work addresses, much to their chagrin.
Thanks in advance for the help and ideas!

Thanks Lanny, but that is related to an iCloud issue. My issue is not iCloud related at all, rather when I use a group on any platform.
I am hoping there is someway to set a default email to a group for a contact having more than one email? I haven't seen any other forums discussing that issue, but if you are aware of one I would very much appreciate your help. Thanks!
Then you would use the, "Edit Distribution List" from the Address Book's Edit menu. Select the applicable group and then select which email address that you want the group to use.

Sync Session Failed to Start iTouch iOS5: Apple Support Communities
iphone could not be synced sync session failed to start...: Apple Support Communities

When sending a calendar invite to any email address (regardless of provider) that is associated with an Apple ID will not get the invite. Any email address not associated with Apple ID will. Why? Using iOS 6.0.1, iPad, iPhone and PC.

I have sent an invite to an email associated to an Apple ID and that email never received the invite. I then changed the email associated with the receiving Apple ID to something new and removed the original email address (the original email address is no longer associated with any apple ID even as the alternate). I then cancelled the first appointment, created a new appointment and again invited the original email address. That original email address then received the canceled appointment notification and the new appointment invite. This problem is not just with my Apple ID (sending or receiving) but several other people that have tested sending iCloud invites to other Apple ID users. Any thoughts?

Hi Stateler74,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You might be able to find the Apple ID that her email address is associated with by following this article's instructions:

Need to add contact with 2 email addresses

I have a contact in my address book for whom I need to add 2 email addresses in the same field. I know I can add multiple addresses, but that gets confusing for this contact, because I need to send every email to him at both addresses. I tried adding both addresses in the same field, separated by both a comma and a semicolon, and when I tried to sent the message Mail told me it was an invalid address. Is there any way to do this?

There is no reason why you should not be able to enter both addresses in the Address Book as two separate addresses on the same contact card (e.g. "home" and "work") and when typing in the To: field of a Mail message, start entering as one address at a time. If the addresses exist in Address Book or previous recipients list, each will "quick fill". After first is entered (as a "bubbled" address), enter a comma then start entering second address. If either address is not in Address Book or previous recipient list, separate each entry with comma and spacebar while typing.
If launching Address Book as a helper application from within the Mail application, single-click each email address (not the name) and either drag each, one at a time, to the To: field or click the To: button in Address book helper app. Repeat with other address. You can't snag 'em both at once.
I just tried all of the above so these methods work here.

Mail has correct outgoing smpt address, but Comcast will not accept it for the correct email address. Only on one of the computers (MacBookPro Lion)

Always worked until this morning, and works on a different copy of MAIL on the other computer. When I try to send mail using my comcast email address, as always, Comcast rejects that email address for the smpt address that is correct and has always worked before. I can't find any .plist files for MAIL to delete, either.

Icloud will not back up because it says email address not verified. I am not getting a link in my email to follow to verify account, checked email address listed is correct, so how do I verify email address when I dont get the email link?

I am unable to verify email address to sign in to icloud so that I can backup my stuff. I am not getting an email from apple to follow a link to verify email address. I have checked to make sure the email address is correct in the icloud settings, but all it will tell me is to check my email for instructions on how to verify my account. I am not getting the email! Please help, I am able to sign in to my itunes account and buy new music all the time! I get my itunes receipts and everything, and know the email is correct so what is the deal?

If you have given correct info about you ios 6.1.3 - all you need to do is delete account. You will be able to sign in with new one afterwards. Make sure you don't delete any info when you see those prompts.

Mail will not allow me to edit an email address

I have an e-mail address that shows up with the wrong last name.
I right-click, delete the incorrect last name. But as soon as I change to a different field it puts the wrong last name back in.
Why won't my changes stick?

I've tried changing first, last, and only one name and they all work despite having it in the address book. It doesn't change the contact in address book nor does it add to the previous recipient folder when using a name in the list.
Seems you would have a corrupt file. Question is which one.
Try the autocomplete file first: Quit Mail and move this file to desktop and restart. If it doesn't work, you can put it back.
Home Folder>Library>Application Support>AddressBook folder>MailRecents-v4.abcdmr
