Address Book Groups not showing up in iTunes

The groups that I have set up in Address Book are not showing up in the Info tab in iTunes when attempting to sync my iPhone. The iCal calendars show and sync with no problems. I have tried resetting sync history, logging off of my .Mac account and logging back in.
Any advise? Thanks.

Don't take what I have to say as fact, because I don't use a Mac and could be mistaken. I remember reading last night something about people taking and checking the box on the Summary page of iTunes to replace the info on the iPhone with the computer. Once that was done, it seemed to correct this issue and showed the address groups after that.
It might be worth the experiment, however I would make sure I had a backup of the phone before I tried it. I know it was only the last day or show that I read it, so if you want to search the forum before you try it, be my guest. I don't want to ruin anything for you, but I just remember reading that someone did that and it fixed it.
Hope this helps.

  • Address book groups not updated in iSync and iTunes-iPod-info sync

    Changes to address book groups are not reflected in iSync and iTunes. I.e. if I remove a group or add a group it is still the old list of groups that is listed in iSync and iTunes available for syncing with my phone or iPod. How do I get these list to be updated and reflect the present list in Address Book?

    The suggested resolution essentially said "delete the address book and start over."
    Ok, I can see how this will help but... a few questions:
    1. How to I re-load the address book with my 500+ contacts without loosing my groups and all the data? The suggestion in the other discussion doesn't give any guidance on this
    2. What caused the problem to begin with? In other words, how can I prevent it from happening again?
    I discovered the syncing problem about the time I did the following three things:
    1. Upgraded to 10.5.2
    2. Upgraded my iPhone (and iTunes) to 1.1.4
    3. Installed Bento (possibly a red herring) -- but it DOES connect to address book

  • Contacts in address book do not show in iCloud

    I have set up the iCloud and got Calendar working fine. Contacts don't. When I merge contacts from iCloud they don't upload and disappear from my Address Book in my iMac ( I have a back up so I ca restore them....). I tried several times but no result. They are fine in my iPhone, though.
    Anybody can help?
    Thanks!

    I ask this because I presume that my Macbook Address book is the master of all, and if I add a contact in here for example, it would be pushed to iCloud and then to my iPhone? But when I add contacts or make changes in my Address book on Macbook Pro, these are not appearing in iCloud
    I think you misunderstand the way it works.  First, there are two places on your computer to see the data. 
    1. "On my Mac" that is not synced to iCloud. 
    2. "iCloud" that is a slave to the Master iCloud dataset. It is somewhat similar to IMAP email.
    When importing data, you can choose which place it goes to. The option is a bit obscure, you need to point to the icon to produce the alternative location ("On my Mac" or "iCloud").
    Don't close iCloud in System Preferences (the term "logout" is confusing, It's actually like deleting an email accout). If you want to "logout" say, on a shared computer, do it in Safari as a session logout.
    What your iPhone or iCloud on your computer is seeing, is the iCloud dataset. With the proviso that it sometimes takes a while for the server to reflect the changes.  You also see the "On my Mac" dataset, which may look like duplicate data, if it is the same.
    If your changes to the address book on your computer are not being changed in iCloud, it is either a server problem, or more likely, that you are working in the "On my Mac" dataset, which is not synced to iCloud.
    If you want to have a simple iCloud only system, I suggest you:
    A. make archive copies of the Address Book by File>Export>Archive
    (and each Calendar in iCal as .ics files by File>Export>Export)
    B. Delete the "On my Mac" Datasets.
    You are less likely to see duplicate data showing, unless it all got horribly merged in iCloud, and duplicated up there already. 
    (Beware the "merge" option when creating an iCloud account, if there is already data in it)

  • Address Book contacts not showing up in Mail

    I'm unable to access my address book contacts from Mail.  The wheel on the right side of the recipient box spins but never finds the contact or group I'm searching.  Can anyone help?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Mail + Address Book - groups not working

    I'm able to create groups just fine in Address book.
    However when it comes to using them in Mail, they won't work:
    I type the first couple of characters and Mail offers to auto-complete,
    so it does know about them. When I hit return at that point *nothing*
    appears in the address field, it just stays blank.
    Any ideas what's going on here and how to fix it?

    Hi jwabbit, I was interested in your reply since it sounded easy to implement. However, my issue is similar but is not fixed with your solution.
    I have created a group in Mail. It displays fine and when I type the first few letters of the name in the "To" box of a new blank email, the name of the group pops up. However, when I press return it only adds the first 2 names out of 8 in the group.
    I have checked that all the names are ones that I have used regularly for some weeks, so they are real emails.
    The other thing I tried was to have both Mail and Contacts open at the same time, then selected all the names in the group and tried dragging and dropping over the To box in Mail. However, again it simply adds the first 2 names and ignores the others.
    Each of the other 6 names add fine individually, but that defeats the point of setting up the group!
    Any thoughts?

    this may not be exactly what you are looking for but i think the issue is similar, tho above thread deals with E series, your navigator in fundamentals in terms of contacts should have the same behavior.

  • Address Book Contacts not showing

    BlackBerry Pearl 8100
    I have 34 contacts added to my personal address book,
    sometimes I see them, sometimes I don't.
    I have to go to options and change the display name from "first name"
    to "last name, save and the contacts will show, and then I
    have to go back to options and change it back to "First name"
    because this is the display I use.
    This is a big problem when composing txt sms and calling from the
    address book because it's like I have no contacts!
    I have to go through all the above steps just to call or write a sms.
    I already removed the battery and put it back in. It doesn't work.
    It keeps happening.
    I have to back-up the address book to outlook everyday because
    I'm afraid someday I will lose all my contacts.
    This BB is new, I've only used for 3 weeks.
    Please let me know the solution because this is getting upsetting!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It didn't work for me!
    I still have to go to options and change the display name from "first name" to "last name", save and the contacts will show, and then I have to go back to
    options and change it back to "First name" because this is the display I use.
    Then I can see them for a couple of times I click on the address book and then they are "gone".
    If you have any other option let me know!

  • IPad address book does not show contacts' details after iCloud setup

    Hi everyone,
    I setup iCloud today on my Mac and my iPad. It is working fine on my Mac - when creating new contacts they show up online and vice versa. However, a strange thing is happening on the iPad. iCloud syncs the contacts list fine - but when tapping on a contact (in the book layout on the left side) the app does not display any details of that contact on the right side. All it shows on the right side are three buttons: "Create new contact", "Add to contact" and "Send contact".
    Does anyone have the same problem? Any tips/solutions?
    Thanks!
    F

    I had the same problem on both my iPad & iPhone. I adding a contact on my iPad and now everything seems to sync properly. Hmmm, interesting.....  THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION.

  • Address Book GROUPS not working w/multiple addresses ?

  • Address Book does not show prefixes or suffixes.

    Looking at list of contacts in column view only shows first/last names.  Contacts on iPhone do show prefixes and suffixes.  Does anyone know a workaround to change this behavior?

    Ditto — this is really annoying. I have family members with the same name, and I have to click through several cards to find the right one at times.

  • When I compose an E-mail my address book will not open when I click on TO or CC, but it does work on other computers and also if I use explorer.

    My address book will not show when I click on the TO or CC button, a mozilla page does open but there is no content. My E-mail accounts work fine on other computers. It also works fine on this computer if I use Explorer instead.

  • ITunes' iPod preference missing Address Book Groups

    Just got an iPod Touch. When I first synced the ipod all of the contacts were from my Entourage account. I wanted them from Address Book. When I go in iTunes, under "Devices" and get the preferences for the iPod, I look under the "contacts" section. There are none of my Address book "groups" to select from. iTunes is not recognizing my Address book.
    How do I fix this?

    The Mac specialist over the phone said that my iPod was malfunctioned and needed to be sent in. It ends up that the iPod touch has a few limitations that other iPods I've owned do not have. While my 80 gig video ipod would show all my groups, the iPod touch would not. After about two days of playing around I found out that once I eliminated some of my groups they appeared in iTunes preferences. I don't have an exacts count but I think more then 15 groups is too much for iTunes.
    Problem solved.

  • Anyone know how to remove Overdrive books from my iphone that have been transferred from my computer? They do not show up on itunes. I see a lot of answers to this question but they all are based on being able to see the books in iTunes.

    How do I remove Overdrive books from the library that were downloaded onto my computer then transferred to my iphone? The problem is that they do not show up in iTunes.
    I see this question asked a lot when I google, but they always give answers that assumes you can find the books in iTunes either under the books tab, or the audio books tab or in the music. They do not show up anywhere for me. They do not remove from the app like the ones I downloaded directly onto my iphone.the related archived article does not answer it either.  I even asked a guy working at an apple store and he could not help either.   Anybody...?
    Thanks!

    Try this...
    have a text convo with the person you want to delete. Go to the top contact in the text convo, hit edit contact, and delete that contact.
    That resolution came from another thread on this issue, and this did solve to poster's issue.
