Cant sync NEW group in Address Book to Itunes

So here is my delema. I got a new Iphone (From BB), and instead of typing with my thumbs to insert all my old contacts, i opened address book on my macbook pro running Lion and firstly created a new group, then started adding and creating new contacts within that new group. Once finished, i opened Itunes and it does not recognize the new group and i can not sync my new entries to my phone. Even tho when i check all contacts in Address book it shows my new entries, its almost like they don't exist. Also if i check import ALL contacts in Itunes it also does not import the new entries. Like i said, in theory they are in Address book, but not recognizable???
Very frustraing. Any suggestions.

Oh flip what did i do.
So i followed the instructions from that link. I re did my address book. That did not seem to work. So i reset my sync folder by copying and pasting the recomended path into the moniter. now when i go to itunes and try and sync my contacts absolutly nothing goes onto my phone.
I am so frustrated and now a little worried.
Sound familiar at all???

Syncing Smart Groups from Address Book

Spent a lot of time creating a smart group in address book, only to find that iphone sync doesn't recognize "Smart Groups", only regular groups. Maybe the engineers can write some script to fix this little bugaboo to have the sync software recognize smart groups from Address Book and place them in the box so that the user can select the smart group and not have to sync the whole address book. Thanks.

Yes. Please. It would be great if the syncing of smart groups were to be added. Right now with the large amount of address' I manage for business, it's important that I see the same groups on my iPhone.
Please add.

Cant add new contacts to Address Book Server

I would like to have a Global Address Book Server where all the user can add/delete contacts. I have done all the setups but in the iMacs (the users) I can see the Address Book Server but NOT the + button to add a new contact. Why ?
In the group name, together to "Address Book Server" there is not any error icon so I understand the client-server connection is well done.
Can someone tell me what should I check ?
Thank you in advanced

I was look ing at this last night. I think there's an 'add new contacts to' type pop-up somewhere in the client account settings. That might be it.

HT2486 adding multiple names to a new group in address book

I have a list of 125 names that I would like to put in my address book under a new group, but I don't want to have to enter each name individually. How do I do that?

Just drag the contact to the new group name.
Edit: Make sure it's a group and not a "smart group". Smart Groups are populated by search criteria.

New group in Address book is not imported

Made a new group, pulled two contacts to it;
group is after twice syncs not imported.
(One of the contacts is imported from mail as a vcard…)
Is there a error seen?

Seen. The new group was not checked for sync in iTunes, Info-Tab.

Syncing smart groups between Address Book and iPhone

When I do my regular iPhone synch, it will import regular groups but doesn't seem to want to import Smart Groups. Am I doing something wrong? If not, is there a workaround? Thanks, Katie

That's the only solution I've been able to come up with, but it makes Smart Groups useless in my Address Book. I was hoping I was doing something wrong.
Glad to know others are doing the same thing.
Thanks so much.

Cant sync new iPhone4S with current version of iTunes (10.6.3)

Trying to sync new Iphone4S with an older Mac (OS X 10.5.8) to pull music and photos from Mac. When i plug in IPhone to the Mac, it says I need to update to iTunes (currently version 10.6.3) 11.1 or higher, but my Mac cant update to iTunes 11. Any suggestions?

Your Mac is running an operating system version that is now four versions old. Leopard (OS X 10.5) was released in October, 2007.
At a minimum, you must purchase the next version (Snow Leopard, which came out in 2008) and update it to version 10.6.8 to install the current version of iTunes.
You can purchase it here:

ITunes not allowing sub group of Address Book to sync with new iPad

When i try to sync part of my address book from iTunes, it only allows my to sync all vs a particular sub group I have created. I had imported these contacts specifically for my wife's new Ipad and we prefer not to have the whole Address Book. Please advise

Oh flip what did i do.

How to create a group in address book from a mail folder

I have a mailbox folder in mail with about 100 emails. I want to add all of these email addresses to a new group in address book app. How can I add all of theses at one time to a new group. I dont want to add each email address one at a time. Is there a way to select all of my mail and just make a new group from that?

One of Andreas Amann's Mailscripts will do the address harvesting - I don't know if it puts them in a group.

Add receipients of message as group in address book

ok, this seems simple, but once again, Mac disagrees and makes it impossibly complicated. I typed in about 15 email addresses for a mass mailing I did in Mail recently, and I want to save these people as a group. I'll send emails to them all again in the future. here are the problems I've encountered:
1. when I select all the addresses in the "sent" message header, and then select "add to address book," it only adds one of the addresses. ridiculous.
2. even if I was to add them individually, I would then need to manually create a new group in address book, and then add each address one by one. again, ridiculous.
3. one suggestion on here was to export my entire address book, then delete all entries, add the ones from the message, save them as a group, then re-import the original addresses. again, and again, ridiculous.
why is this so difficult? am I missing something?

figured it out. when in doubt, drag.
highlight the entries you want to save, open address book, create a new group name, and drag the entries from mail and drop them on the group. done.

ITunes sync doesn't recognize changed groupes in Address Book

iTunes sync doesn't recognize changed groupes in Address Book. What to do?
I've cleared All Contacts on the iPad2 so it is blank now. I want to sync just a particular new group which is the combination of two former groupes which didn't sync correctly.

To be more clear (in hopes you can get it to work!) :
Under Mail -> Preferences -> Composing
1. Be sure to CHECK the box that says autocomplete addresses under the Addressing heading.
2. Quit Mail and restart.
If that doesn't work then I would suggest quitting Mail and trashing the Preference file (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist). Then restart Mail and make sure the box is checked as above and restart Mail. Note that all preferences will be reset to the default and you may need to reconfigure Mail the way you like it. You can always drag the plist file back and restart Mail.app to restore your previous settings.

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?

I just found an answer myself: https://discussions.apple.com/message/4902780#4902780

"Smart Groups" in Address Book not syncing to the iPhone

"Smart Groups" in Address Book not syncing to the iPhone
Normal Groups sync but smart groups do not.
Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix?
Thanks.

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.

Using a smart address group from Address Book

I might be asking sth already been answered but I cant find it, so sorry, but how do you send an email to a group of contacts who have been grouped by a Smart Group in Address Book? Address Book's help says
If you don’t have a group of addresses, create one.
Creating groups or foldersChoose File > Send Updates.
In the dialog that appears, select the group or groups you want to notify.
Type a subject title and a message, and then click Send.
The trouble is that Send Updates is grey-ed out - see below!
What? How am I meant to follow those instructions if the menu option is grey-ed out?
Helen.

Helen,
In your original question, your screen shot shows that the active application is AddressBook, and you are trying to use its File menu. The option you discuss is for sending updates of your own address card, not for sending out group emails. In other words, if you change your own contact details in AddressBook, you can send the new contact details out using this menu option. I hope that this is what you intended, rather than simply sending out an email to a [Smart] group as others have discussed.
However, I cannot get the 'Send Updates' option in the File menu to be disabled in the way you have managed. I note that you are still in the edit mode on the current contact in the screen shot (the Edit button has blue text instead of black). I also note that 'Save' in the File menu is enabled, implying that you have a currently unsaved change somewhere. Maybe one of these issues is preventing you sending out your new contact details.
I expect by now that you have sorted this out yourself. If not, have you tried closing AddressBook and re-opening to resolve the unsaved issue?
