What Decides the Display Order of Subscribed Address Books?

I have asked this question before and received no help with it. The people who can help me are people who have at some time or other subscribed to 2 or more Address Books belonging to others.
Can anyone tell me what decides the order in which the address books I am subscribed to appear in the Groups Column? Obviously they appear below all local groups, but when I subscribe to more than one, I can't work out what decides the order in which they appear in the Groups Column. Its not alphabetical and its not creation order (new ones can appear "anywhere" in the list in my experience) and its not based on what subscribed Address Book is selected at the time I subscribe to a new person's Address Book. Any ideas much appreciated.

The box to the far right (Settings) provides only for sort by newest or by oldest.  Obviously, a designer who never listens to podcasts via iTunes was in charge.  Yet another demonstration of Apple's growing design sclerosis.
I'm finding an old version of iTunes to which I can resort.  I use iTunes for podcasts more than commercial schlock -- obviously not in keeping with Apple's business plan -- and there's no advantage to staying with 11.1.  Here's an article from SF Chronicle how to do this (it's a popular article!):

  • What is the best way to sync Address Book contacts?

    Please help!
    I run a small Mac network and I need to sync all (we have 8 Macs) the Mac's Address Book's with each other and also with 5 different iPhones. We have a Mac Server running Tiger and all the Macs are running Tiger. 4 of the Macs are Intel. The server is PowerPC.
    At the moment I am just using 1 .Mac account to sync to them all, but this is causing many problems with duplications, errors and 'stress!'
    The reason for the above setup is money. But, as the problems continue and the syncing become more important, money is now allowed to be spent.
    My question really is, as the subject header says, 'What is the best way to sync Address Book contacts?' In the past I have tried XC Connect, and a few other apps, but with the introduction of the iPhones, the setup has become more complex.
    If I were to buy all new Intel Macs and an Intel Mac Server all running Snow Leopard, would the 'Address Book Server' do the job? I have found very little information on the net and the information I did find was all negative.
    Is there something Leopard can do that Tiger can't? Is Tiger nolonger a good enough system to try and run an Address Book network?
    Does anybody else out there in the Mac world have a similar setup to mine, and if so, how do you have your setup.
    Incidentally, ALL users, incuding iPhone users, need read & write access to the Address Book!!
    Any solutions or suggestions would be most welcome.
    Thanks in advance

    Oh, I meant Leopard does do more than Tiger Server.
    I don't know enough about Server, even less abut Syncing.
    SL is to new, not enough time to iron out the kinks yet imho.
    One day SL will be better than Leo, but...
    I'd ask over in server...

  • What is the maximum number of contacts Address Book will support?

    We are a small business who have recently switched over to Kerio Connect. We are currently using Mac Address Book to store & share contacts (sharing via MobileMe), but have been told by our IT support company that we have too many contacts (approx. 4500) and Address Book will not support this many. They have said that this is why we are having issues with contacts emails and phone numbers scrambling. Is there a limit to the amount of contacts that Address Book will support?

    Having values shuffle in the fashion described is indicative of a database corruption or an application bug, and that can (also) effect performance.  I'd suggest trying to get a footprint of that problem, and then report it to Apple.
    And there is no "lol" matter here.  4500 is a comparatively large number of contacts for Address Book Server, and no, AB doesn't tend to scale all that well and isn't (per information attributed to Apple) intended as a shared contact store.
    See this thread and (as you'll learn as you read that thread) make certain your DNS configuration is valid.  Within that thread, specifically see Dr Timbo's post circa Dec 14, 2010 7:31 PM in that thread, and Strontium90's post circa Dec 23, 2010 3:03 PM.
    Just because there's an SQL database underneath doesn't imply that the design will scale, nor that the application will have acceptable performance.  It's possible for an SQL database to have millions of records and to run fast, and it's equally possible for a database to have several dozen records and the application can run slowly.

  • What is the best way to backup Address Book to external HD?

    Hello there
    I would like to backup my Address Book on an external HD. How do I go about doing and what's the best way to doing it?
    I have a vague idea but not sure if it's the correct folder to drag to the external HD. I went to ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book. My question is this: Is that Address Book folder the correct one to drag to the external HD? Am I missing other important folders to drag along to the external HD in order for both the Address Book folders to be the same in my internal and external HD?
    Thanks in advance!!

    It would copy the information into a single file... The same as if you wanted to share your contacts with someone else-you could email the vCard to them, they would import it and have the all the same contact information imported into their address book.
    For your own use, it's pretty much the same and works through the File>Import>vCards option in AddressBook.

  • What is the best way to share Address book between 5 Macs that are networked?

    We have 5 Macs in the office, using 10.6.x or higher, and linked by a network. One Mac has the company database, and needs to be viewed and updated by the other users. What is the simplest way of doing this?

  • What is the simplest way to export Address Book into a spreadsheet (Numbers) and get all the information including physical address?

    Can anyone help with this?  I've exported the address book, but all the information does not appear.  I've expanded out the columns but still don't get the home address.
    Also, formatting is an issue with phone numbers.  Not all phone numbers were entered the same way in the Address Book.  Is there a way to change the entire column with a particular cell format?

  • What is the evaluation order of Page Items

    I just wonder what the execution order of page item assignments are in the page rendering process.
    Sequence (+ Region), Type of items, more clever by checking dependencies ??
    I couldn't find anything here, or looked with the wrong keywords.
    I just need to know, what reliable assumption to make about dependencies amongst page items?
    Is that visible in the APEX code? A pointer to that would be OK.
    Many thanks
    Thomas

    Items are rendered in order of region position/region sequence/item sequence. Item values will be evaluated in this order, but may also be set by computations or processes which run in order of processing point/computation sequence/process sequence.
    You can view page components in event order in the App Builder by selecting the Utilities > Page Events view in the page definition, and the actual sequence of runtime events in the debug trace.That was exactly what I was thinking, but that is not the case as far as I can tell. The order which is shown "*Utilities > Page Events*" seems to be the display order, but not necessarily the evaluation order in order to obtain the values.
    I have a database field that is shown much further down in this sequence, but I have a dependent field that is calculated based on this value and is shown before in that sequence.
    So I was wondering whether there is an implied order - possibly based on the Source Type of the page item.
    And to answer the question. There are no other computations or processes ... other than the associated "Automated Row Fetch" related to the database column used in the page items on the page.

  • What is the Display Duplicates button?

    What is the Display Duplicates button?

    Very likely it is a duplicate.  Use Get Info to see the source details for both tracks and/or use "show in Finder" to see if they trace back to the same file.  If there's two files then it is a true duplicate. If they go back to the same file then iTunes has mistakenly added a second reference.
    If it is mistaken reference you can probably delete it but I am not sure how to do this in your case since I set iTunes to manage my music in a different way. You have to be careful because iTunes default is set up to sometimes delete the file when you delete a track reference. If it is two references to the same file you don't want to delete the file itself.
    If they are two different files then you can decide which one to keep (usually the better quality one).

  • What's the better order to install OEM + AS + DB

    Hi everbody.
    What's the better order to install on RHEL4 Update2:
    - Enterprise Manager Control Grid (10gR2)
    - Database (10gR2)
    - Application Server (10gR3)
    And about the $ORACLE_HOME?? How to? Each instalation have a separate $ORACLE_HOME??
    Tks!

    Rafael,
    Save the Grid Control as the last installation. The order of Database and Application Server doesn't matter, however I would personally install the database first.
    Please read all Installation Guides' before starting any installations, and follow all pre-requisites stated for RHEL4.
    The Installation Guide's states that all products must be installed in separate ORACLE_HOME. As a matter of fact, the Oracle Installer doesn't allow installing any of these products into an existing ORACLE_HOME.
    Regards,
    Martin

  • How do I change the display order in the VPN menu in the status bar?

    Hello,
    How do I change the display order in the VPN menu in the status bar?
    (in the drop-down menu from this icon) ->
    Thanks.

    Hello. Perhaps this is because you are trying to arrange the order of many VPN services, since only one VPN service can be selected at once in System Preferences. In my original post, I did not mean that; I meant that I wanted to arrange the order of VPN configurations within a VPN service. In this screenshot, I have one VPN service only:
    And in the following one, it is shown that there are more than one VPN configurations within that VPN service:
    Furthermore, it was the order of VPN configurations that I wanted to change, not the order of VPN services. If you are trying to change the order of VPN services, I do not have a solution.

  • Is it possible to change the display order of Apple TV applications on my home screen?  i.e. move Watch ESPN toward the top, move the WSJ to the bottom, etc.

    Is it possible to change the display order of Apple TV applications on my home screen?  i.e. move Watch ESPN toward the top, move the WSJ to the bottom, etc.  That way you won't have to scroll all the way down to the bottom to access an applicaton you use most often.

    Yes. Just select and hold until the app starts to jiggle and then you can move it.

  • What's the correct order to install OEM Grid Control + DB + AS?

    Hi everbody! I'm getting start on OracleAS and Grid Control.
    What's the correct order to install:
    * Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control
    * Database 10gR2
    * Application Server 10gR3
    (on RHEL4-Upd2)
    or the order is not important?
    I need have the environment for each oracle software ($ORACLE_HOME, $ORACLE_BASE)? Or install first one, and change the environment and install, change again and install, etc.. ? :)
    Tks!

    Hey Rafael! You only have to use the Grid Control CDS, AS, repository database and grid control software are installed automatically, so you dont have to worry about the order u should have to follow.
    Anyways if u have already installed a database u can use that one as a repository.
    about the enviorment variables i guess u´ll be prompted for just one only directory cause u only need to install the software only one time.
    hope u find this interesting!!

  • What causes the display to develop darkened areas?

    What causes the display to develop darkened areas?

    Have you dropped the iPad?
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • What is this Hour Glass Model and what is the best order of dimensions

    What is this Hour Glass Model and what is the best order of dimensions in Essbase cube (Block storage model)

    Dimension order has a huge impact on performance.. The worst case I ever saw was in a pre-sales situation where an outline was thrown together very quickly by someone not experienced with Essbase. A rather small retrieval took 3 minutes despite the fact that there was absolutely no data in the database! Rearranging the dimensions made retrievals instantaneous..
