Bb10 and contact group

Will the new 10.1 OS allow contacts on Z10 to once again have a corresponding sync field with "Categories" in MS Outlook ?? This field synced perfectly on my Bold 9900, but it was called "Groups" in OS7.

Hey gliveron,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Currently categories and groups is not available in BlackBerry 10 or 10.1. There is no estimated time when this feature will be available.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Using N79 sync calendar and contact group

Dear all,
I am using N79 to sync contact and calendar to ovi website. But I find that calendar and contact group data cannot sync to ovi website. Is it possible to do it or ovi website still does not support to do it? Thank you

It is possible to use N79 and sync to OVI. I do it all the time and I can sync my contacts, notes and calender. I have had the following observations/problems :
- When syncing you have to log-out - or maybe switch away from the calender before you can see any changes that were made on the phone.
- I had some reoccurring events in my calender (birthdays). For some reason all these were shifted -1 day so a b-day occuring on march 7th would be on the 6th in OVI. I have now removed birthdays from the calender and added them to the contacts instead. Then the b-days should appear on the standby-calender-screen, but I miss an overview of upcoming birthdays.
- It would be nice if you could share your OVI calender with friends or your wife, so you can plan your life together.

Unavailablity of screen saver and contact group im...

Hello
I have nokia 5230 nuron and 3110c handset
even the basic java phones has the option like screen saver contact group image why the 5230 symb. set doesn't having those option
prakash

The 5230 is a touch screen, and the screen lock therefore turns the screen off, making it basically pointless to have a screen saver option since the screen is turned off once you lock it. Also, the screen saver on idle has been removed for battery saving concerns since the large screen would eat up the battery in no time. If you really prefer to have a screen saver instead of having your battery last the day through, you can download lockscreen apps which allow screen savers.
As for the contact group images, I cant remember if my last java phone (5610) had that, but I cant see the point of having it when the phone shows you the contact's image when they call, meaning you really wouldnt see the contact group image anywhere of worth.

HT4897 Icloud email alias apparently causing duplicate notes and contact groups

I seem to be getting duplicate notes and nearly duplicate contact groups as a result of my alias email account. This coincided with the upgrade of my iphone, but the problem is on my iMac running Mountain Lion OS.
When I open preferences for Mail, Contacts, & Calendars, I see one iCloud icon with a cloud and another with an @ sign. The one with the @ sign is associated with my alias email account. I still use that account.
Any idea how to correct this?

Active Synch and contact groups

HI,
I have a new Blackberry passport running 10.3 synching with Office 365 using Active synch and I have one annoying issue. All emails, contacts, tasks, etc.. work fine and synch correctly. However I have my contacts grouped into different folders on exchange and Outlook and these do not seem to synch across to the BB device. My question is there any way to get this to work as I realy do not want to manually resort 600 contacts on my device.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You can't edit them on your phone. You have to do that on icloud.com using your computer.

How to export an Mac Mail/Contact Group directly to a Google group

Hi, for my new blog, I would like to use Google Group to distribute it, but would like to avoid retyping each address into the Google group list. Is there a simple way to export the group I have already set up in my Apple contacts list directly to the Google Group? There are several hundred names.

Hi,
Export from the first machine running outlook 2010
Open Outlook on the computer containing the desired contacts and click the "File" tab.
Click "Options" then click "Advanced" to display advanced Outlook options.
Click the "Export" button, then select "Export to a file" and click "Next."
Select "CommaSeparatedValues (Windows)" as the file type and click "Next."
Select the Contacts folder when prompted, then click "Next." This will export all individual contacts and contact groups within the folder.
Click "Browse" and select where to save the export file. The destination location should be on a removable storage device such as a USB flash drive to allow you to import the file on the other computer.
Type a name for the file in the file name box and click "OK."
Click "Next" when prompted and then click "Finish."
Import to the second machine
Open Outlook on the computer you want to import the contacts to and click the "File" tab.
Click "Open" and then "Import."
Select "Import from another program or file" and then click "Next."
Select "CommaSeparatedValues (Windows)" when prompted to select the file type to import and then click "Next."
Select "Browse" to locate and choose the export file and then click "OK."
Select the desired import options and click "Next." The first option, "Replace Duplicates with Items Imported," allows the import process to overwrite existing contact information to prevent duplicate contact creation. The second option, "Allow Duplicates
to be Created," retains existing contact information and creates duplicate contact entries with the imported data. The third option, "Do Not Import Duplicate Items," retains existing contact information. These options only are relevant if duplicate contacts
already exist in Outlook on the computer running the import.
Click the Contacts folder when prompted to select the destination folder. Click "Next," followed by "Finish."
Hope that helps.

Problem adding members to a contact group in a public folder with EWS

I am trying to create contacts and contact groups in a public folder on Exchange 2013 using EWS 2.1 managed API.
In Outlook 2013, I can see the contacts and groups created. However, when I open the group and try to open a contact from the group, I get the following error:
Could not find contact "john doe ([email protected]". It may have been deleted or moved from its original location.
Would you like to remove it from the list?
I tried different methods to add the contact members to the groups, all with the same result.
If I manually add the contact to the group, or if I create the contacts and groups in a private folder, it works fine.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Are the contacts you added to the group in your contacts? If the shared contacts folder is not in your profile and enabled as an address book, you can't add their contacts to a group. (The mailbox needs to be opened as a mailbox for the contacts folder
to be enabled as an address book. )

How to delete calender and contacts from Sync?

Hi,
I tried to sync my cals and contacts with iPhoneMacMobileMe, and there are always duplicated. So I decided to sync everything over mobileMe only (iPhone MobileMe and MacMobileMe). I unselected the checkboxes in iTunes to sync theses data with iPhone. But on the iPhone, there's still data from last syncs - both from calender and contacts. How can I remove those from the iPhone, so that only mobileMe calenders and contacts are shown?
Thanks

I just, 30 minutes ago, learned, I think, the answer to that. I tried it and it worked for me. I had duplicate events and "sets" of calendars.
Delete the MobileMe account on the iPhone.
Restart the iPhone.
Add the MobileMe account back and turn on Calendar and Contact syncing.
You'll be asked if you want to merge the data. Tap yes.
This should, after a few minutes, set you up with only one set of calendars and contact groups.
Sync only over MobileMe and don't via iTunes.

Specifying certain contact groups to sync to iPhone via Mobile Me?

I'm hoping someone has an answer to this question. Pre MobileMe, I could specify in iTunes which groups of contacts (from Address Book) to sync to my iPhone. Now, I seem to have no control over this, resulting in about 1300 contacts on my iPhone. Needless to say, browsing contact info on my iPhone is sluggish.
Anyone know how to limit which contact/Address Book groups get sync via MobileMe to my iPhone?
Tx,
Bob

I don't believe this is possible.
All contacts and contact groups available in the Address Book on your Mac are kept synchronized with your MM online address book. I'm not aware of an option to sync only select Address Book groups in the Address Book on your Mac.

Hello easbda,
Thank you for providing the details of the calendar issue you are experiencing with your iPhone. I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Troubleshooting on Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)" in the following article to assist with syncing your calendar events between your devices:

How do I fix? Outlook contacts are scrambled/missing and all my contact groups in Outlook have been deleted.

After I installed iOS7 to my iPod 2 and signed up for iCloud, my Outlook contacts are scrambled/missing and all my contact groups in Outlook have been deleted.

if you don't want your yahoo contacts, go to settings - mail - yahoo - then turn off the contacts

Help needed with contact/groups synching between phone and laptop via cloud

I installed OS X 10.7.5 and my software is up to date on both my I-phone and my MacBook. I have the cloud enabled. But now, when I try to access my contact groups on my I-phone, I just get the list of groups with checks beside them; I can't select a group and have those contacts displayed as they were
prior to installing the updates. I have cloud enabled and can see the groups displated when I go to the cloud.com site. But how do I get my iphone to display contacts by groups again? If I click on "Done" with all contacts and all groups checked, the display goes out of the groups category and back to the
list of all contacts. Do I need to change something in settings? At present, when USB-connected to the Mac and in I-tunes and looking at "information"
for my Iphone, I don't have synch contacts selected. I thought synching was happening via the cloud. I didn't make any change in that I-tunes synch setting
compared with before installing the new operating system and updating the rest of my software. If I need to check "synch contacts," do I check synch all
contacts or the box for synching groups. I want to have all my contacts and all group organization that's on my computer duplicated on my phone and would like to have synching happen without having to physically connect the phone to my computer. Help would be appreciated!

How to sync Outlook 2010 Contact Groups to my iPad and iPhone

I am trying to figure out how to sync my Outlook 2010 contact groups to my iPad and iPhone. Also how do you manage the groups once on the device? Seems they can only be selected and not edited. I can get my Good contact group and my Windows Contacts contact group to sync but not my Outlook 2010 groups. Any ideas?

Mac solution. No idea if works on PC:
Work Around:
On your mac:
1. Open a new email
2. Insert name of an existing group into one of the "To" fields as usual.
3. Highlight all the resulting names in the "To" entry
     [Highlight first name, and while holding shift, highlight last name and all will highlight[]
4. Copy (Command C) the highlighted emails
5. Paste (Command V) nto a pages document
6. Remove the name and anything else preceeding the first < and also the first < of only the first entry whixh will look like this:
     [email protected]>,
7. Remove the > of the last email which will look like this:
     , Jane Doe <[email protected]
8. Copy the entire altered list from the pages document
9, Go to Contact Book and click + to add a new entry
10.. Name the entry (XXX Group for iPad) or whatever you wish to call it
11. Paste all the copied altered list into any one of the email entry spaces
12. Click on "Done"
13. Create new email On iPad and click on + in any one of the "To" lines and search for "XXX Group for iPad" You cannot just key in XXX Group for iPad!!!!!!!, you must use + contact search.
14. Enter the selected iPad contact group into the "To" line.
15. All the entries will now appear in the "To" line and you are good to go.
Adding or deleting email addresses from the iPad group:
Easiest: Alter the original mac group in the usual way and repeat steps 1-14 above. It seems impossible to edit within the emai line of the iPad contact entry.
Rediculously simple once figured out.
Happy emailling, but please send Bcc so that you don't spread your groups' email addresses all over the internet for spam, viruses, and other unwanted emails. Be considerate and ask your recipients to notifiy you if they wish to be deleted from the lists you compose.

I just downloaded Maverick last week, and ALL of my contact groups have duplicated. When I use one to send a group e-mail, everything is doubled in the address bar. Any suggestions? Very frustrating.

Hello Joannah,
Thank you for details of the issue you are experiencing with duplicates in Contacts after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. I would be frustrated by this too.
If you have enabled iCloud Contacts, I recommend following the steps in the article below:
iCloud: Resolving duplicate Contacts after setting up iCloud Contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4147
If you’re not using iCloud, I recommend this article instead:
