Groups not showing up in iPhone Sync Options

Runnning iOS 5 on an iPhone 4S (although I don't think that's the issue)
Running iTunes 10.5, Lion 10.7.2.
When syncing my phone via USB (or wireless for that matter) under the info tab the option exists to sync Address Book Contacts and there is a radio button that should allow me to select groups, however there are no groups to select and much of it is greyed out.  I have 3 groups in my Address Book application, but they aren't showing up as options to sync to in iTunes.
I have restarted the computer in an effort to get iTunes to recognize (and offer) the Address Book groups to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Just as a follow up, I opened a support case with Apple on this topic because as stated my wife isn't/wasn't impressed with my Contact list.  The fundamental problem is iCloud basically takes all the Contact Groups and moves them into the cloud which prevents you from selectively putting AB Groups on your phone from within iTunes.  The resolutions was follows:
1.  Close Address Book
2.  System Preferences -> Uncheck Contacts (sync) (Note: Make sure you keep a copy on your Mac)
3.  Wait an unspecified amount of time so that the contacts have time to sync up to the local Address Book.
4.  Open Address Book (I don't believe that opening Address Book before your contacts sync matters) and verify that your contacts show up under 'On My Mac'
5.  Reboot Mac
6.  Open iTunes with your iPhone connected
7.  Verify that you have a recent back up of your iPhone (iTunes Preferences -> Devices)
8.  Goto 'Info' tab in iTunes under your iOS device
9.  Check 'Sync Address Book Contacts' and leave it as 'All contacts'
10.  Scroll to very bottom and check "Replace information on this iPhone' (assuming you don't want to Merge) Contacts sections
11.  Click 'Sync' button
12.  Once it completes the sync you should now have the option to sync only selected groups
I've added a feature (www.apple.com/feedback) to iCloud for the ability to sync iCloud AND to selected groups...or if they are so inclined the ability to sync selected groups with iCloud in general.  This seems like a convoluted process to get this feature back but it works, I just wish Apple wouldn't change expected behavior for what I would think is a popular feature.

  • Contact Groups not showing up on Iphone when syncing with Mobileme

    My contacts show up in my address book on my Iphone but when I go to look at my groups the page is blank and I cannot get back to my contacts without closing and reopening contacts but still no groups. I want my groups to show up. I have at least 4 groups that show up on my me, and syncs fine with ipad....
    I THINK THIS IS A ISSUE with the new verizon iphone.
    Please help if anyone has

    I am having a similar issue. As is my wife. I also believe that it is a bug in the current iOS on the CDMA iPhone 4.
    It is just as you described, and I have to close Contacts completely in order to restore my access to the contacts list. And, like you, our groups show up just fine on our iPads (within minutes of making changes, as we sync over MobileMe).
    It doesn't appear to be a letter-case issue, as at least my login is in all lowercase letters.
    I sure hope that this is fixed in an iOS update soon! It's rather problematic for those of use who use their iPhones for business purposes.

  • Guys, the playlists I created on iTunes do not show up in the Sync options for the iPod. I don't understand why not.

    It only shows me the Generic Playlists but not mine.
    Please help, Thank you.

    I'm not sure what you mean when you say that the wireless devices are not  visible in AirPort Utility.
    Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
    Click on Wireless Clients (3rd line from the bottom) and a window will open to display the AirPort ID of each connected device.
    I'm also not sure what you mean by "manage". Once a wireless device is connected to the network, you cannot "disconnect" it from the network using AirPort Utility. AirPort Utility only monitors the connection.
    Using the Timed Access feature in AirPort Utility, it is possible to assign daily time limits for each device that is allowed to connect to the wireless network.
    So, for example, one iPod would be allowed daily access from 8AM to 11 PM. The iPod would not be allowed to connect between 11:01 PM and 7:59 AM in this example.
    You can set up different time limits for each device that you want to allow to connect to the wireless network in similar fashion.

  • Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

    Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

    Thank you.  This solved my problem too.
    But, one little thing to share:
    "There's an option in settings for Playlists. It was set to Music only. Changed that to All then found the movie playlist under Movies by selecting Genre."
    This is not to be done in iTunes in your computer; this is to be done at your apple TV under "setting". "audio video" "show playlist" "music only/all"
    I am posting this here because I started chat mode with Apple support last night at midnight till 1:30, they didn't know what to do.
    They called me back this morning at 10 am.
    It's not 11:40 they finally know what I am talking about and showed me where to to find the "music only / all" toggle.  My problem is now fixed;
    all these time, they have in front of them a screen shot of your questions and answer but they don't know where to change it from music only to all.
    So, I hope this will save the next victim a lot of time.
    Again, thank you.

    In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.
    Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

    My total amount of DOWNLOADED APPS. do NOT show up on iPhone HOME pages.
    I have the BIG DOG 16 gig iPhone and I am only limitted to 9 pages of APPS.
    For what I PAID for this GREAT Phone, there should be NO LIMIT as to how many APPS. that I can download until and UNLESS my memory is FULL, which it is NOT even half full yet.
    APPLE: Please change this LIMITATION, because there seems to be thousands of APPS. to choose from. Just as you have NO-LIMIT on the number of songs that I can download, I would like it to be the SAME for my APPS.
    Thank you.

    How do I transfer music, videos to my iPhone from another computer that is not the one my iPhone syncs with.
    Thank You!

    Take a look at this -> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Short version: iTunes will transfer the purchases made from the iTunes Store on your iPhoneh to your computer. It treats all other music and video syncing as a one-way street, to comply with copyright laws (wont sync stuff not purchased through iTunes from your iPhone to your computer).

  • Songs purchased on iPhone through iTunes Store will not show up on iPhone after syncing with iTunes

    I recently purchased iTunes Match (about a month ago).  Since purchasing Match, any songs that I have bought on my iPhone 4S (32GB, Sprint) through the iTunes Store app will not sync back to my iPhone after syncing with iTunes on my computer.  I have iOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54.  The only way I can get them to show back up in my iPhone music library so I can play them is by re-downloading the songs through the iTunes Store app.  Which is super annoying because now it is about 10 songs that keep doing this, and they are in multiple playlists.  Is anyone else having this problem and have you found any fixes?  Really regretting purchasing the iTunes Match (which is not enabled on my iPhone, just on my computer).

    How to create custom ringtones ...
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
    3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
    4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
    5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
    6. Click the "Options" tab.
    7. Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
    8. Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
    9. Click "OK."
    10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
    11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
    12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
    13. Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
    14. Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
    15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
    16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
    17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
    Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
    Hope this is useful ...

  • Unable to sync new iPhone 4s. I have iTunes version 10.6.1. Using Windows 7. My device appears on iTunes but I am not able to select the sync option and it does not automatically start the sync option when plugged in. Ive tried reseting the device.

    I am unable to sync my new iPhone 4s OR my iPod Touch 4 to iTunes.(this is the first time I am plugging them into iTunes) I have version 10.6.1. Both devices are up to date with the latest software version. Once I plug the device in, it is recognized on iTunes.The synce process does not start automatically. I am unable to select the sync option. I've tried reseting the device and restarting iTunes and the same problem happens. I have plugged in my husbands iPhone 3gs and the sync process starts automatically. I have also added my computer as an authorized computer for the new devices. What now?

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

  • Events not showing in iCal after sync with iPhone

    A whole week of appointments don't show up in iCal after syncing with my iPhone - all the appointments are on my iPhone but they won't copy over.
    Funnily enough, the week that is not showing up is changing every Monday...
    Anyone seen this before?

    I found this solution in another discussion. It's from this website: http://iphonewriter.blogspot.co.nz/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues .html)
    "You'll know the syncing issue when you see it, because the new events you enter into the Calendar on your Apple iPhone will not appear in iCal. Said another way, you'll enter a new event into your iPhone, use iTunes to sync with your Mac (or MacBook in our case) and the new event on your iPhone will not show up in iCal. Keep trying, synch as you might, iCal and the Apple iPhone just won't get along.
    Here's the down and dirty fix:
    Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
    Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
    Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
    Re-Open the iCal application and Restore your calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier.
    At this point all my appointments were showing up properly in iCal, and did not disappear after syncing again with the iPhone.
