Is there a way to sync iPhone and add just a subset of my contacts to the phone

I have a large book of contacts on my mac.  I want to include just a subset on my iPhone.  I have grouped the contacts on the mac.  The iTunes sync offers just syncing specific groups, but it must refer to groups on the iPhone, because my mac contact groups don't show up.  WHat am I missing?

Yes, connect your iPhone to your computer, click onthe name of your iPhone then click on the apps tab in iTunes.

  • I lost the ability to use wifi after the 8.02 update.  Is there a way to fix this?  I've already tried resetting network.  Turned the phone off and on. Nothing is working and now I have to run on just data.

        csdwarf,
    So sorry to hear about the trouble with Wi-Fi! Let's get that working the way it should. Could you provide us some more details regarding where this breakdown occurs? Are you having trouble with turning Wi-Fi on or connecting to your Wi-Fi? Are other devices connecting to your Wi-Fi without issue?

    I am going back to work in a few weeks and I am looking for a way to sync the iPad/iPhone so that I have quick  saccess to see my son and keep track of his baby app that I use. Plus I want to be able to have easy access to any photos takne with the ipad so I can see them immediatly with the iphone. (if any of that made sense)

    i have the same exact question, so I'll just stay posted except I have my songs stored on an external hard disk connected on my Mac Mini.

  • Best way to sync iphone and ipod touch

    I have had an ipod touch for some time and have just got an iphone. Ideally I want to keep the ipod touch for music, games etc and use the phone purely for internet, phone etc and maybe a couple of cd's on there. Is there a best way to sync them both - ie something I should make sure I tick when I set up the iphone or will it handle it automatically.
    Thanks
    nick

    iTunes on your computer will keep them separate. I have 2 iPhones and 1 iPod Touch all syncing to the same computer, with different playlists, apps, contact groups, etc., on each of the devices.

  • Is there any way to sync books and movies to 2 devices, Is there any way to sync books and movies to 2 devices

    My girlfriend has a iphone 5C and an ipad air, both with ios 7.0.4
    She cant use itunes, so its up to me to sync all her content.  I am an IT expert with 25 years experience, and have developed iphone and android apps.
    Howvever, I find Itunes and apple devices almost impossible to use. 
    Here is the current problem.
    After about 4 hours and a lot of googling I manged to sync our kids movies and her ebooks and pdfs to her Ipad.
    Now Im trying to do the same thing with the iphone.  however, when I drag the same movie from th elibraryI dragged to the ipad to the iphone, I just get a red no-entry sign.
    No errors, no warnings.
    Same with books, which I had put on her old iphone, so I know the format is good.
    so how to get content in the ipad onto iphone is the problem.
    I installed VLC on the ipad, and was able to push content to that using the http upload feature.
    But I cant install VLC on the iphone. I can find it in itunes, but it doesnt offer me the install button, and it is not already installed (no icon). So gave up with that approach.
    I made the mistake of enabling icould on the iphone, which then gave my partner error messages every time she used it saying it was full with her photos.  I have since disabled icould on all devices.
    Any other ideas for getting content onto an iphone?  Both devices use the same itunes account.  We are only talking 4 kids movies and about 5 books.

    I'm not clear on what it is you're doing. If you mean that you're trying to drag-copy a movie or other content directly from your computer's library folder to the iPhone, then except for photos you can't. You can only sync via iTunes, so all the content you wish to sync must be in iTunes. If the content isn't on the computer now, you need to sync the iPad to the computer so you get the content from the iPad into iTunes, and from there you can sync it to the iPhone. Or you can do it through iCloud at least for some content. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109
    and
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Perhaps if you describe more completely what sort of movies (such as where they came from) you're trying to sync and exactly how you've been trying to go about it, we can be more precise in our advice.
    Regards.

  • Is there a way to manage (arrange and add/delete) apps from within itunes while I have my iphone 4S connected to computer... instead of doing it on the phone itself? I have an unreasonable number of apps and need to clean it all up.

    I have a replacement phone and have saved a backup but ideally before or, if need be, directly after I restore from backup I would love to clean up my apps.  I have over 2000 apps which I clearly don't use all at once so like to keep most of them sitting in itunes however recently life got messy and so did my phone so much so that I just lost control of what was on it and not on it because of a forgotten wifi synch that I'd not disabled so randomly id get apps appearing on my phone that I'd deleted ages and ages ago.  Anyway the notion of having to fix it all on the phone with the jiggling icons is a painful one... I am hoping I can do it via my lap top instead.  Anyone? all search efforts have not arrived me at the info I seek.

    Yes, connect your iPhone to your computer, click onthe name of your iPhone then click on the apps tab in iTunes.

  • Is there a way to make Movies and Home Videos show up in different sections on the apple tv instead of showing the home videos mixed in with the movies?

    I have several movies and home videos stored in itunes, when viewing these on appletv, it mixes all the movies and home videos together.
    I would like to beable to select either Movies or Home Videos when viewing on the Apple TV if this is possible...?

    You have 2 options:
    1. Create Video Playlists in iTunes (for example create one for Home movies, the other for Movies)
    You COULD make these Smart Playlists. (see below for one technique)
    NOTE: If you wish to do this don't miss the preference in Settings to enable Video Playlists at least  (at least in the latest ATV updates) I believe it's under Audio setting. Amazingly the default is NOT to show!! (had me going for quite a bit)
    2. Set up your Home Movies as "Music Videos" This has some gotchas:  like you'll probably want to choose the skip when shuffiling, also Now they'll appear in music lists. The only advantage to this is that it makes playlists more available on iOS devices since there are no Playlists displayed in the Videos App.... (yeah Apple's made this WAY confusing of late)
    If you wish to keep these clearly defined (especially for use with Smart Playlists.
    Select the movie
    Get Info (Edit Menu) (or Command-I Mac, Control-I, PC)
    Choose the "Video" Tab - you can select your desired type from the Media Kind pop up.
    Alternate method for setting up smart playlist of home movies would be to set the Genre to "Home Movie"
    Probably more than you needed to know - leigh

  • Syncing IPhone and Macbook Mail To Do List

    Does anyone have a way to sync IPhone and Mail To Do List?

    unless you delete your to dos then once checked they will still appear in the to do list alongside the incomplete ones.
    one work around is to create smart mailboxes, one for your completed to dos, and one for your the others. to create a smart mailbox, go to mailbox>create smart mailbox, then for the rule, select to dos and then select to dos are complete, to dos are incomplete. once these smart mailboxes are created you can then view your to dos with less cluter.
    hope this helps

  • Football manager handheld: I am playing a game of this on my iPad and was wondering if I can get the same game on my iPhone when I go out the house? Is there a way of syncing them together so the same game is on both devices?

    Is there a way of syncing my game to bothe devices an iPhone 4s and an iPad 2 bro!

    You can sync the saves between devices by using the Apple sharing through iTunes to copy save games (and other items) on and off from a device.
    - Connect your iPod/iPad/iPhone to your computer
    - Open iTunes, then select the device in the panel at the left
    - Select 'Apps' then at the bottom you should notice an area called 'File Sharing'
    - Select 'FM 2012' or 'FM 2011' (depending on which game you have) from the apps listed and you'll see a handful of files in the panel on the rightAny ".dat" files are saved games and you'll have up to 5 of them. "hidden.dat" is the autosave file, while "fm_save1.dat" through to "fm_save4.dat" are manually saved files named according to their position in the save slots.

  • My wife and I both have the new iPhones.  Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac?  So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

    If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

  • If I'm reading a book on the iPhone and I want to pick up where I left off on my iPad, do I have to search for what page I was on on the iPad or is there a way to sync it?

    If I'm reading a book on the iPhone and I want to pick up where I left off on my iPad, do I have to search for what page I was on on the iPad or is there a way to sync it? Or do I just have to search for a string of text from my iPhone on my iPad?

    On both devices go to Settings>iBooks>Sync Bookmarks>On. Then when you want to quit reading on one device, tap the bookmark in the upper right corner and it will turn red. That marks your place. Close the book on the device now by tapping on the Library button in the upper left corner of the app. That will put the closed book back on the shelf. Tap the home button.
    On the other device, when you tap on the book, it should open to that page. You have to be connected to WiFi in order for this to work. You can read this older discussion for more information. I was involved in that as well.

  • Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Yes, it will. You cannot merge information on the phone. If you want the old messages, you will need to restore from a backup of the old phone, which will make the new phone look just like the old phone. If you want to save the messages from the new phone, you will not be able to get the messages from the old phone.
