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.

  • 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

  • Help! iTunes not working with Address Book

    I have the latest iTunes and the newest version of Adressbook.
    When I go to Sync my iPhone 4.  The Address Book Groups that appear in iTunes (under the INFO section) are not the same as the groups in my Address Book program.
    I tried deleting all the contacts off my iPhone and then re-starting the computer and then restoring them, but iTunes will not pull the new Groups into the program.  iTunes just continues to display the old Groups that no longer exist in Address Book (because I have deleted them) nor will it show the new Groups I've created. 
    Is there a way to reset this area?  Or wipe out the preferences.  I don't want to lose by iPhone backups.
    Thanks.

    Apple Store said the only soluction was to wipe computer clean and re-install system from original disks and restore from back-up.

  • ISync only certain Address Book Groups ... ?

    Is there any way to synchronize only certain address book groups using iSync?
    Right now, you have to either sync ALL contacts or only ONE group ....
    I would prefer not to have to drag contacts into one new group everytime I add somebody new ....
    Either have this feature or maybe one that recognizes Smart Groups ?
    Or maybe I'm missing a button or preference that can make this happen? :P
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    OK but that not work fine...
    After sync the phone with the Address Book group named TESTGRP I run these steps:
    1) remove a contact from the TESTGRP group (remove only not delete the contact)
    2) sync the phone too
    3) on my phone the removed contact is already present

  • ITunes not seeing Windows Address Book or Outlook 2003

    When I try to sync my iPhone, it syncs the music, videos, etc, but under the Info tab in iTunes it doesn't show me any options to sync my contacts with, nor bookmarks, nor calendar, etc. I have Outlook 2003 with all the proper iTunes add-ins activated as well as Windows Address Book, but iTunes simply doesn't seem to see that I have these programs installed on my computer and that I can sync my iPhone with them! Anyone else has similar problems?

    Yep,
    the first time I got sync probs, I also researched with the root cause is syncing. I tried just everything. It turned out, that address book is just not handling the contacts with all their data entries very well. .MAC, the iPod and the address book itself have all different capabilities to work with the extremly flexible way the contacts are saved. It basicly just works good if you have typed every contact manually into the address book or if they where imported with a very basic set of parameters (e.g. just name and address). Once they are imported from a different software and every contact has a full set of data, Apples address book is overstrained immediatly. And nothing improved thru years. I am starving for a third party application which integrates as good as Apple address book and is working as it is promising to.
    When I just started with Mac, the address book probs almost made me resell my first MAC and get back to Linux or whatever.

  • Address Book Groups - Squrrelmail

    Hello,
    We have a OS X Leopard server running the stock installation of squirrelmail, we have not configured any plugins, etc.
    Is there a way to allow our users to setup address book groups/lists? I see a few plugins on the squirrelmail website, but they indicate you must have Squirrelmail using a database backend for address books. I do not believe Squirrelmail, on a mac server, uses a database as these plugins require. Now we have users who have built up address books, so switching would be more difficult.
    Does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions?
    Thanks

  • Losing Address Book Groups

    My Address Book groups are disappearing. Last evening I restored them from the Time Machine to my MacBook Pro. They duly appeared in MobileMe and my iPhone. This morning they were gone again. Does anyone know what it happening?

  • ISync syncs to wrong Address Book group

    When I sync my phone (Nokia 3230) with my MacBook, I designate the Address Book group titled "Contacts in 3230" to be synced. But contacts that I've added to the phone (my usual way of adding new contacts) are transferred to my "All" contacts in Address Book, but NOT to the designated group. To correct this, I have to manually try to remember what contacts were added to the phone, and then copy them from "All" into the "Contacts in 3230" group.
    How can I make iSync sync to the designated group?
    Many thanks for your advice.

    I have the same problem with a Nokia 6230. Really annoying as i sync has now cluttered up my mac address book with phone contacts that i wanted in a specific group called 'nokia back up' Also I tried putting a test item in this folder and this did not download onto the phone. I don't want my phone filled with all of my contacts and i don't want my mac filled with all the temporary contacts that end up in a phone on a Friday night. All i want is to back up my phone to my mac in case i loose it. should be simple enough!

  • Sending an email to a 250 person address book group.

    I am trying to send an email with a picture attached to a group from my address book using Mac Os X mail. It will not send when I click the send button. There are 250 people in the address book group. Is there a limit to the size of group that OS X mail will send to?
    when i remove the group and send to 2 individual contacts, it sends right away...help.

    Not sure that there is one in today's world of spamming - frankly, I'm glad my ISP and/or web email hosting service et al have these in place.
    This is what I do for any emails which need to be sent to more than about 10 - 15 people:
    I prepare an email with attachments if necessary and have my address book open. I start inserting email addresses in the BCC field until I reach a certain number. I open a new message window, paste in the email, and work on the next 50 or so. I do this until I've enough emails to cover every recipient I want to send this to. I then send one or more emails, wait about 2 hours, send more, etc, etc - you get the idea.
    Also, be advised: Comcast has told me that they watch the activity; although they do not have a maximum in my case, if they feel that you could be a spammer by the number of emails and recipients, they may not allow the usual port for you to send email through and you will get errors.

  • Address book groups in icloud

  • How can I copy the contents of an address book group

    Does anyone know how I can copy the entire contents of an Address Book group and paste the results into an e-mail to send to others? When I select the group and then the "copy" tool, it copies only the first address in the group. If I select "select all", it selects all e-mail addresses everywhere, not just the ones in the intended group.

    He did not want to add them all to his address book; he simply wanted to have my long list of staff email addresses without having to type it or create it himself, like this: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. We used to use an email application called Eudora which allowed you to copy and paste group lists as though they were just text characters. With Mail (and Address Book), everything is connected to everything else and a group list is actually a set of flagged contacts from your "All Contacts" list.

  • Set outgoing account based on address book group

    Hello -- I am looking for a way to automatically set the account of new outgoing messages based on the address book group membership of the email recipient. For example, a script or rule that works something like:
    If [any recipient] belongs to group [employer1] set message account [employer1];
    If [any recipient] belongs to group [employer2] set message account [employer2];
    If [any recipient] belongs to group [personal] set message account [personal];
    etc.
    Paul Berkowitz has written a very clever script to do exactly this for Entourage (see http://scriptbuilders.net/files/otheraccountx2.0.5.html) but I have been unable to locate an equivalent for Mail.app.
    I would very much appreciate any suggestions regarding where to find (or how to build) a script, automator workflow, etc. that accomplished this task.
    Thank you!

    Thanks for the feedback. Assuming your point above is correct, is it possible to create a script or workflow that initiates a new outgoing email message then changes the account to something other than the default? For example, I might might disable [cmd-n] for new messages, then set up new shortcuts linked to simple scripts so that that [ctrl-cmd-A] would initiate a new message with the account set for Employer Alpha and [ctrl-cmd-b] would initiate a new message with the account set for Employer Beta. An alternative solution might be to write a script to replace the usual [cmd-n] with a simple dialogue box that forces me to make a conscious decision about the From account every time I initiate a new outgoing email message.
    My goal here is to prevent a situation in which I forget to manually switch from the default account to the correct account for an outgoing message, thus inadvertently sending email from the wrong address. Either of the solutions I described in the paragraph above would meet my needs... might one or both of these might be possible?
    Thank you again for your support,

  • Question: why mail does not recognize an address book  group

    i could not find an address book forum - excuse me if i post here.
    an address book group with about 20 names has worked well for a year.
    today i added and deleted a few names. now mail does not recognize the name as an email group.
    i created a new group with a new name and imported all the names in one block from the non working group. the new group also is not recognized as having email addesses in mail.
    my other groups seem to work fine.
    i had entourage for awhile and had to rebuild it periodically. do i need to do something similar here.
    thanks

    Check the names of your groups that you have this issue with to make sure you don't have any special characters or extra spaces at the beginning or end of the group name.
    I just found another posting on the message boards that solved my issues. Someone discovered that they had a blank space in their group name which was causing the error. I didn't have any extra spaces at th end of the group name, but I did have a period in my group name (St. Francis). I removed the period from the group name in address book and now the emails send to that group without the error message.
