I want to share all my contacts with my wife so we don't have to reenter or add them all separately with vcards.
There used to be a way to just share my address book with someone, but now that seems to be gone.Â
I've looked around a bit and so far the only thing I am seeing is where this is done through some server set up, which is way overkill for what we want to do.Â
I just want to be able to share my entire contact list/address book.Â
I tried exporting my address book, and then on importing to hers, I am informed that it will REPLACE everything in her current address book. Not what we want.Â

I'm surprised I wasn't able to find much at all on this by searching this forum or the web. Maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing. Anyway, here goes:
I want to share an Address Book between different user accounts on the same Mac, without resorting to using MobileMe or another sync tool that requires internet access to function. I had hoped to set it up where the Address Book is in the Shared folder and accessed by each user, but that doesn't appear to be possible. It's surprising that this isn't a natural function in native Mac OS X.
I've also tried exporting an Address Book Archive to the Shared folder. It shows on my account to be 1.6MB. When I log in as another user, it shows to be Zero KB, even after changing permissions, and importing into Address Book does nothing.
Is it possible to SHARE ADDRESS BOOK ON 1 MACHINE with multiple users, (no .mac account) I've posted this question in 6 different discussion groups.
Currently I have:
Yes - I do this
Maybe - theoretical
NO
Is it possible to share a group of contacts in Address Book between two Apple IDs, similar to how you can share a calendar in iCal?
View 6 Replies View RelatedUsing a G4 IBOOK with OS 10.5.8. Recently converted IBOOK from just my wifes computer to both of us so it is now dual usuage with both of us signing in to our respective files/e-mail, etc. My side has a problem never experienced before. My apple mail system address book has all the names the dock address book does but is missing almost 2/3rd of the actual e-mail addressess. I have tried to redo the dock address book in hopes it would change the "internal" mail book, but to no avail. It id difficult to add a recipient to an outgoing e-mail via the dock address instead of the apple mail address book.

BUT...Â
Try as I might, doing various combinations of name or group selections in the address book window, I cannot seem to get the "Edit Distributuion List" item to be un-greyed. Effectively, the program is not allowing me to do the edit function I need to do on this one group member.Â
Am I missing the secret handshake in this process? Why should it be this hard to do this simple function?Â
Which raises the larger question of "What did Apple do to the Address Book application in general?" This issue is only the tip of my iceberg. The whole app seems to be harder to use than before.Â

View 2 Replies View RelatedI must be missing something very obvious, but I can't seem to set Address Book to add all new contact info as "Work" entries. I have to edit every new entry and change all the fields from "other" to "work." This appears to happen when I "grab" phone or email info from an email message.

I have an iMac OS X (10.6.8). In MAIL, is there a simple way to save the Cc: addresses, in a received message, to my Address Book? In other words, the option "Add Sender To Address Book" is readily available, but is there a similar option for saving Cc: addresses, such as "Add A Cc: Recipient To Address Book", or "Add All Cc: Recipients To Address Book"?

I have recently updated to iCloud - after trying for months and months to clear problems and more problems with my last year update to Lion..After my recent update to iCloud, several of my groups in the Address Book were duplicated. In the iPhone and iPad I cannot find any editing option for groups. But also in the computer, when I highlight the group and go to the Edit menu the option for deleting a group is gray and cannot be applied.Â

When I open address book on my mac, all of my contacts are on iCloud. When I change a photo for one of my contacts and add an effect to it, the effect lasts for about three seconds and goes back to the original. I'm assuming that a sync with iCloud is occurring and the image modifications are lost since when I turn my wifi off, the effects remain. However, when I turn my wifi back on, the effects disappear and I am left with the orginal. I tried running the app in 32-bit mode with no such luck.
