Auto update of contact groups in Address Book when created on iphone?

So, I'm OK with how to work with two phones on the one itunes account, with regard to contacts and calendars, but can I get Address Book to automatically add any new contacts created on each phone to the correct contact group?

In iTunes, on the Info tab with the iPhone connected, there's a pop-up menu to choose the Address Book Group to which new contacts created on that phone are added. Check the box and select the proper group from the list.

  • Moving contacts into icloud, address book and ultimately onto iphone 5 is impossible. Why so hard?

    NEED TO TRANSFER/SYNC CONTACTS FROM 500+ VCARDS ON MY COMPUTER ---> TO MY IPHONE5.
    Why not just make the phone an open device? Drag and drop. I've spent three days trying to figure out how to easily get my contacts from my dumbphone to the new iPhone 5. I bluetoothed off my dumb phone to my computer. Both my iMac and MacBook Pro have the vcards. And another thing, Address Book, contacts, gmail, iTunes, whatever, I can't import multiple vcards. They have to be done one at a time.
    No mass transfers of any kind? I have over 500 contacts to move. I've tried the following:
    -Importing to contacts onto iMac; address book won't read vcard
    -Importing to contacts on MacBook Pro w/Mountain Lion; reads vcards, only 1 at a time
    -Importing to iCloud; doesn't work
    -Importing to gmail contacts; only reads 1 at a time
    -E-mailing 500+ to self in an e-mail and trying to open/transfer/read all on MacBook Pro and iPhone5; won't do multiple files
    I know I can go pay Verizon to do it but I want to know WHY and HOW this works the way it does.
    Beyond frustrated. Hulk, smash. Please for the love of god help me, and not in an "ambigous remark: sync to iCloud'" kind of way.
    THANK YOU!

    Seriously folks?  I know it was long but I added all info to negate a need for endless back/forth clarifications.  No answers???
    FYI, i tried syncing contacts to google/gmail and it was a total clusterF as well.  No gmail contacts, synced iphone, gmail contacts populated w/ all info but w/lots of repeat entries.  Used seek and merge repeats in gmail and then resync but no such luck.  Lots of iterations and nothing but fails.  Seems everytime the phone and the gmail lists are "as desired" a new sync puts a ton of repeats back into gmail or onto phone.  Still perplexed and still needing help....
    pretty please....

  • Sync does not update Touch Contacts from desktop Address Book

    I add names to the desktop computer's Address Book. When I sync the Touch, the new entries do not appear in Contacts. One entry is for "Dave". So I created an entry on the Touch named "Dave" and then synced, to see if it would acquire the data for Dave from the Address Book. Instead it created a new entry in Address Book for "Dave". So there are now two cards for Dave on the computer but the Touch still doesn't know his phone number.
    What's going on?

    Hi,
    Try Resetting the Sync History from the iSync applications preference window as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030

  • How do I select multiple email address for a single person in my address book when creating a new email?

    I am coordinating a large group of people and created a group list of over one hunderd people.  The group is families and each person in the address book has several e-mail addresses. How do I select all the email address under each person in the address book so every family member recieves the e-mails?
    It appears I can select any ONE email address but selecting multiples from any one person is not allowed, why is that? Any tips would be appreciated, thanks.

    Not sure about this problem. But if you don't get an answer soon, go here which is the Mail forum for Leopard (which you listed in your sig).

  • How do I get my old address book when creating a new profile?

    For some reason my profile quit working on a Win7 computer. I can get my e-mails back but copying the abook.mab over doesn't recover my address book. How can I get my contacts back without having to enter them manually?

    Were you using just Personal Address Book, or had you other user-defined address books?
    I think you might need ''history.mab'' too (this represents Collected Addresses) and any user-defined address books would have names such as ''abook-1.mab'' and so forth.
    But you'll need to import these user-defined address books, and the tool I know for doing this is

  • Add only one contact email in address book group

    I created a contact group in address book and added some people I knew to it.  However some of my friends have multiple email address.  (like JohnMarino @gmail and JohnMarino@yahoo). Can I limit the contact to only the one email I would like to send it to?

    Yes, as long as you keep your contacts "On Your Mac." Use the "Edit Distribution List" feature in AddressBook to select the address that should be used for the group. If you use iCloud for your contacts, the option is not available. Hasn't been since the intro of Lion.
    There are other compromises to get it to work with Lion, but they are clumsy and generally result in multiple contact listings.

  • How to Transfer Address Book from Razor to Iphone

    I have a new Iphone and I want to copy by address book from my Motorola Razer to my new phone. I looked at the Motorola site but I also have a Mac computer so I can't follow the directions. Please help.....

    Make a new contact group in Address Book that will be the place where you store the contacts from the RAZR
    Use iSync to retrieve the contacts from the RAZR over bluetooth, and put the phone contacts into the new contact group you just made
    Then, when syncing the iphone, activate that group in iTunes to sync contacts to the iPhone
    viola! no typing, no nothing way to move the contacts.
    Of course, I am assuming that you have bluetooth on your mac.

  • Smart Groups in Address Book not syncing to Contacts

    I have a couple of Smart Groups in Address Book on my primary Mac, and I sync Address Book with Contacts on my iPhone 4 through MobileMe.
    Today, I noticed that, under Groups in Contacts on the iPhone 4, these Smart Groups do NOT show up. How can I make these Smart Groups on the Mac to sync and show up in Contacts on the iPhone 4?

  • Adding contacts to group in address book

    Arghhh - I searched for Address Book in this support site and they said no matching entries!!!
    So before I "upgraded" to Lion, I could drag a whole bunch of emails into a group in Address Book.  It now will not let me do that! (I hate Lion!)
    Does anyone have a work-around for this?  I sent an email to 50 people and I want to create a group from these emails without importing them one by one and then manually adding each one to a group..
    There must be a way to do this! (And of course "Help" for address book has nothing about this.)
    Thanks,
    Marty

    What is your existing method for adding these contacts? If you are for example selecting a sender's email address in Mail and using "Add to Address Book" then you can't hook in to that process. If on the other hand you are working directly in Address book, adding a card and then fill it in, you could replace that with a script that would prompt for the necessary details, including group (with default Work Phone). You could even put a pretty front end on it with XCode.
    Alternatively you could periodically run a script to periodically trawl for contacts with no assigned group and move them to a default group for analysis. I posted one here recently.

  • Smart Groups in Address Book Do Not Update

    I use Smart Groups in Address Book in Lion.  It has worked great before the upgrade to Lion. Now when I create an entry with the proper fields to activate the entry go to a Smart Group.  It doesn't.  I have compared the parameters and compared with other addresses with the same parameters and still no update of the Smart Group.

    This same concept applies to syncing two macs via .Mac
    The method I use for iPhone is this.
    Define your smart group as needed.
    Define a read group with a similar or convenient name.
    From time to time drag your whole smart group to the real group.
    The real group is the one that then syncs to your iPhone.
    As a safety factor, I usually clear all entries from my real group before I drag over the updated smart group.
    Anyway, this is simple and works well.
    Hope that helps.

  • My friends updated laptop and desktop says "address book" while mine says "contacts"

    What is the difference between "Address Book" on my friends updated apple laptop and desktop and my desktop and laptop which says "Contacts"?

    The difference is different versions of the operating system. "Contacts" was called "Address Book" prior to 10.8 (Mountain Lion).

  • I want iPhone Contacts to override Address Book on Mac #2

    I have updated my Address Book in my MacBook Pro and have synced it with my iPhone - so I'm finally good there.
    However, I am trying to update my iMac and need to update the Address Book there. I don't want to sync it at this point - I want to wipe the iMac Address Book clean and start anew with the iPhone.
    Any tips on how to do this?

    Hi Im running on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 with the updated version of iTunes.
    I just recently changed from using Outlook for Mac to using iCal and Mail. Outlook for mac was my main platform for contacts and calanders. When switching over, i managed to sort out my calanders into iCal, but my contacts do not seem to copy into my address book. All my updated contact are in my iPhone. iTunes still shows options to sync to groups i created in outlook even though i have totally deleted outlook.
    I basically want to syc all my iPhone contact to my Address book and override the contacts I have in there already, and use address book as my contacts platform.
    Help!
