Certain contact groups are not appearing in iTunes

I am trying to update the contacts on my iPhone, through iTunes, from my iMac.  iTunes is not showing many of the groups that I have in my contacts and when I default to just syncing all of my contacts, it doens't actually synce them all.  How do I fix this?

Have had same problem and read many different posts on the discussion boards. Came to my own sort of hybrid solution that's posted below:
Backup address book.
Turn off syncing to iPhone within iTunes, and then hit Apply to make sure it takes.
Quit Address Book, iTunes, and basically everything.
Go to Finder > Library > Application Support > Address Book … move all folders out of there EXCEPT the Metadata folder.
Go to Finder > Library > Application Support > Sync Services … move everything out of there.
Reboot computer.
Open address book.
Open iTunes, connect iPhone, and sync.
NOTE:  I had to play with these steps, and their order, several times to force iTunes to properly reflect what’s in the address book/contacts, but after about the sixth time it worked.

  • My outlook 2010 Contact Groups are not visible in iTunes; only syncs main Outlook Contact Folder, others not synching

    I have an iPhone (running the latest device software) and have Outlook 2010 for PC on my desktop.  I have several Outlook 2010 Contact Folders/Groups but when I try to sync with my iPhone I only have the option to sync all of my contacts.
    When I sync this -- the only Outlook folder/group that is synced is my main 'Contacts' folder/group.  All the rest of my folders/groups are not being transferred to my iPhone.  I've had this issue for a few months now -- and though I like the iPhone, my old Blackberry nev er presented this problem when it came to the simple base function of syncing.  Appreciate your help -- as I am out of answers.  Thanks.

  • IPad Group Contacts are not appearing in itunes

    I have a Group Contacts app on my ipad mini that syncs with the contacts on my iPad.  I created 4 groups.  I want to import those groups into Outlook.  I tried opening up icloud, select all, export.  Only the 1st contact in that particular group is exported.  I then deleted and reinstalled itunes and my groups are not appearing.

  • Some of my contact names are not appearing when they text message me.  They are just showing up as their numbers. I have them saved in my phone so i am not really sure why their names aren't showing up when they message me?

    some of my contact names are not appearing when they text message me.  They are just showing up as their numbers. I have them saved in my phone so i am not really sure why their names aren't showing up when they message me?

    I have this identical problem.  For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad.  Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something.  Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads.  I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time)  Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc.  There still hasn't been a solution.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • HT1977 Old App purchases are not appearing in itunes 11

    I have recently upgraded from iTunes 10.x to iTunes 11 and my old purchased Apps that were not on my ipad but on my computer are not appearing in itunes 11 to put back on my ipad?

    I solved the issue. Her profile permissions on the Mobile Applications folder for some reason was set to read only. Once I set the permissions for her user account to Read and Write, I was able to download an App and sync her devices, with the Apps syncing back to her iTunes library

  • Names from my contact list are not appearing when someone phones, when a receive a phone call

    Names from my contact list are not appearing on the screen, when I receive a call

    I'm not a Verizon user (I'm with Rogers, in Canada), so this obviously is not a Verizon issue.  Would love to know why one second all my texts and calls had names associated with them, and then suddenly all the names were replaced by phone numbers.

  • New MAC OSX Address Book Groups Do Not Appear in iTunes for iPhone Sync?

    New Groups (and their associated new contacts) created in the MAC OSX Address Book since the initial installation of my iPhone do not appear in iTunes, and hence do not sync with iPhone. I have tried the Advanced - Replace information on this iPhone - Contacts to no avail.

    I had this problem for several weeks now!
    I followed your procedure and - addresses there, calender gone! Even worse!
    So I copied the old SyncServices Folder back into /Library/Application Support/
    result as expected, calender there, addresses gone.
    My lady called, I was on the phone for 10 minutes or so. Coming back to my iMac I see a Sync-Problem-Icon jumping in the dock. I've been told that one of my addresses has a conflict between adressbook and iPhone. OK. Solve it with adressbook, please.
    I open iTunes and everything is there, calender data and adresses!
    Finally!
    Thank you, Maurizio!

  • Apps are not appearing in iTunes

    None of my apps are showing up in iTunes. When I click on the app icon in iTunes, it just says apps you have downloaded should appear here and it only gives a link to the app store.  How do I fix this?

    Also, from 'Devices', click the 'right arrow' and list of folders on iPad appears.  'Apps' is not there.
    Until you posted this - I would have never even looked at this .... but when I click the arrow next to my iPad name under the devices heading - there is no apps folder visible for me either.
    Try this. Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes, right click on the iPad name on the left side bar and select - transfer purchases. See if the transfer process even starts. You can watch the progress bar at the top of the screen to see what's going on. If it looks like the apps transferred - look for the apps again in the Library section of iTunes.
    I assume that you are running iTunes 11, like I am - and maybe the fact that the Apps folder is not viable under the iPad's name under the does headings is some sort of bug. I almost never look at that though like I said earlier so I can't remember what it looked like in iTunes 10.

  • CD'S details are not appearing in iTunes

    When I put a CD in my PC it appears in iTunes but none of the details are there. It just reads "track 01" etc. Why isnt it displaying the track title, artist name and album title?

    Hey joepa327,
    Vista isnt currently supported by iTunes, this link: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305042 gives more information about the compatability.
    You can try to goto Advanced>Get CD Track names. These articles: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93952 & http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61068 give more information about the way iTunes works with the track names.

  • App's are not appearing in iTunes on Shared Library

    I have Mac and had the iTunes library stored on my profile. I then moved the entire library following Apple's KBASE to the shared folder, and pointed mine and my girlfriends iTunes preferences to the shared library.
    Everything on my end seems to work just fine. But with her library, when she syncs her iPad or iPhone, none of the App's are stored in iTunes. It will say they are syncing, every time a device is connected, but the Applications tab that appears for each device is blank, as well as the Applications directory on the top left of iTunes.
    In the Directory ~Users/Shared/iTunes Music/Mobile Applications I can see all of my App's, but none of her App's appear. I have tried spotlight searching for an App name that is specific to her devices with no luck.
    I have ensured her iTunes account is authorized on her profile. All of her app purchasing has been done from the device itself, so she needs them to sync back to iTunes. I am able to go to File>Add to iTunes library, and import my Apps into her library. But even when downloading an App, directly from the iTunes store on her account, they do no appear in her iTunes Library.......I can't seem to figure out what piece of this puzzle is missing????? Any suggestions would be much appreciated
