Changing contact group assignment iOS7

On my iPhone 5 running iOS7, I just discovered my "contacts" app has two "groups",  "iCloud" (with 4 sub categories: "all", Mine, Hers, and one more) and then another group, "Work".
The problem is, the "Work" group does not sync with iCloud. When I go on the icloud website and check my contacts, all I see are my icloud contacts. On my Macbook it's the same- the "work" group is totally missing.
This poses a few problems. First, apparently every new contact I've entered for some reason automatically now gets added to the "work" group. So those contacts don't sync with any of my other devices.
I've got some 67 contacts in this "work" group that need to be moved into the general "icloud" group.
Other than emailing myself these .vcf cards one at a time, is there a way to be able to simply move the contacts from one group into the other?
Also, how do I prevent future contacts from getting added into the "work" group?

Hi,
Yes this is a standard SAP feature , you will not able to change the assigned Account from the Contact Overview screen.
To change the assignment you need to go to that particular Account and in the Account Overview page goto Contact AB and then delete that particular Contact Person and then save that account.
Now if you open your contact person you will find the Account field as blank and you can assign a different account.
To enhance the component and just making the field enabed wont work as this feature will be coded somewhere in some class or BADI.
Hope it is clear now.

  • How do I change contact Group?

    How do I change the Group assigned to each contact in iCloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    What exactly are you trying to do, there are ways to move all to iCloud for example, but moving individual contacts isn't possible.

  • Is Apple considering the inclusion of a MS Exchange Groups functinality for iCloud Contacts in future iOS7 updates?

    Is Apple considering Exchange Groups functinality for iCloud Contacts in future iOS7 updates? If not, I am considering a change to an Android or Blackberry device.
    Since converting from Palm and Balckberry devices a few years ago, I have missed the full MS Exchange Contact Group functionality they had.
    I have used many of the work-arounds and thrid party apps people have suggested but I find they are not convnient.
    Does any else want this functionality in iOS?

    We are all fellow users and not Apple employees so no one knows what Apple is looking at for future iOS versions.  All any of us can do is wait and see and give Apple feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback

  • Contacts not assigned to a group

    I've been working on getting my contacts and calendars synced up and going fairly well. Have a completely mixed environment: Outlook 2007, iPad IOS 7.1.2; Android phone and Macbook (10.6.8 but not in the current sync process).
    What I've found after a lot of troubleshooting is that I have duplicate contacts and am trying to figure our how to find and remove them. Now before you just say search for them and remove one of the duplicates, the issue is more complex. First, I am very much a geek so know what I'm doing - that doesn't mean that I don't miss simple things now and again though but please don't assume I've not check to see if it's plugged in and turned on
    I, like most I'd guess, prefer to keep my contacts grouped together. When I first setup the sync, everything was on the iPad as I had manually (wifi/USB) kept the iPad and Macbook synced. Simply setting up the iCloud sync from the iPad was simple enough and never really noticed any issues - doesn't mean it didn't start there though; just didn't see it.
    In Outlook, there is a plugin for iCloud and I have that loaded with no problems. Contacts all came in and the groups all appear to work. If I create a new group in Outlook, I see it on the iPad and phone. If I delete it from the iPad, it's gone everywhere.
    Now to where the duplicates are. When I look at the counts in Outlook - just because it's the easiest place to do it, the total contacts added up from all the groups is 626. The total contacts when I get the properties of the top level is 833
    If I select the top level, I can see the duplicates, if I select the individual groups, there are none. I verified this on the iPad by manually selecting each group rather than the "All Contacts". Doing this, the duplicates are gone. So clearly, at least to me, what has happened is that there are 208 contacts (834-626) that are in iCloud but not assigned to a group. The problem is, I can't see them without selecting "All Contact" and at that point, I won't know which one I'd be deleting and would rather not delete the one that is currently and correctly assigned to the group.
    Hope that gives someone enough details to give me some ideas. I've already though about manually exporting all of the groups one at a time and deleting them until all I have left is "All Contacts"/top level in Outlook and then deleting whatever is left and re-importing all of the groups but would rather not do that unless I have to. I'm guessing the biggest reason this is so hard is that the vCard standard did not fully support groups until v4.0 and Outlook is v2 or v3?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm not sure there is an easy way to do this.  In addition to the approach you mentioned of exporting the group contacts as vCards (which would probably involve importing them to Gmail so you could export an iCloud-compatible vCard), then deleting the remaining contacts and reimporting the vCards, another option would be to identify the duplicates in the All Contacts list and edit the name of one of each of the duplicate (by, for example, adding a "1" to the last name).  That would allow you to go through your groups and identify which one belongs to the group and which doesn't.  It would still be a tedious exercise though.

  • Change the group selection in contacts back please!!!

    Why would you change something so intuitive into the cumbersome system.
    It was so easy before, if I want to see family contacts or work contacts I hit that option and they all appear. This select and deselect the ones I dont want is a pain.
    If something works well, don't just change it for the sake of an upgrade, leave it alone. Apple have always been good at nice interfaces, this is so stupid for a primary feature on a phone.
    Is there an option somewhere to have it work the old way?

    Hi
    Thanks for all,
            Problem i wrote to sap, Once transaction happend, it is not possible to change the group asset. I convienced my client no issue.

  • Changing Contact assignment to account

    Dear experts,
    in SAP standard it seems that it's not possible to change an existing assignment from a contact to an account in BP_CONT component. When I create a contact and assign an account, the account field becomes read only and cannot be changed anymore..
    So I enhanced component to set this field to be input ready after assignment as well. But when I enter another account nothing at all happens..
    any ideas?? Thank you!!

  • Contact Groups Keeps Changing

    Trouble with contacts since iPhone 7.
    When I first used it I noticed that my contacts included everybody I've ever emailed or talked to or was even copied on an email that I sent or received.  Way too many and not like it was on my iPhone 6.
    Under Contact Groups I saw that there were checkmarks for "All Exchange", "Contacts", "Suggested Contacts".  So I removed the checks on all but "Contacts" and then I had what I really wanted which is the Contacts I have in Outlook.
    But, it keeps changing back on it's own.  Every day or so, I have all these thousands of unwanted Contacts and I have to go in and remove the checkmarks again.
    Please help.
    Thanks,

    I've had this problem ever since iOS 8 was released.
    all these updates and still no fix. What is going on Apple?

    and thank you for your swift response . . .
    and thank you for your information (and encouragement!).
    Yes, I read that too, but searched in vain for the specifity of, say, your direction:
    "Go ahead and update to 8.0.2, as it contains the 8.0.1 update."
    So I shall!
    Again, many thanks.

  • Syncing to selected contact group wants to delete files outside of it

    Hello -
    I am trying to sync my iPhone contacts to my address book in a specific way. In my address book, I have my personal contacts - friends and family. I also have mailing list subscribers (which gets into the 1,000s - people with whom I am not personally connected). I copied all of my personal contacts into a separate group and selected that group under the iPhone sync options in iTunes. I also checked the box marked "add contacts created outside of groups in this iPhone to" and again chose the special "personal contacts only" group.
    However, when I go to actually sync, I get a pop-up box saying that so many contacts will be added (to my laptop), so many contacts will be modified, and so many contacts will be deleted. Which ones are getting deleted? All the ones that are not on my phone, so basically all of my mailing list, non-personal contacts.
    Isn't the point of syncing specific contact groups so that you can have your phone dialogue with that particular folder and nothing else - leaving anything outside of that folder alone?
    Just to test it out though, I changed the sync setting to "all contacts" to see what would happen, and I get the same message (it's basically going to delete anything that's on my laptop, but not currently on my phone). Why does this happen? Isn't the whole idea of synchronization that the two devices end up having the same file lists? How can I get the iPhone to populate any contacts I added on it to a specific group on my laptop, and vice versa. Seems like they should populate each others lists with missing pieces, rather than one taking the other one over and deleting, well, anything (unless I tell it to).
    And no, I do not have any of the advanced overwrite functions enabled.
    Does anybody have a solution to this problem? I'd like to sync my contacts, but obviously don't need 2,000 names of people I don't personally know taking up space on my phone.
    Thanks for any advice you all can provide!

    I think MobileMe is all or nothing--I asked a chat agent a few months back, and that was the case, haven't seen any reports or UI changes.
    Send them feedback--it would be great to select Groups and Calendars.

  • 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 do I list the e-mail addresses in my contacts group? It seems to go only to the first address.

    Hi ozziejack123,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The individual contacts are sorted first within the Contact application.  When you create a group in Contacts, the individual names in the group should keep the same sorting order.  Try resetting the name order for all contacts.
    Contacts (Mavericks): List contacts by first or last name
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15091
    Choose whether contacts’ first or last names are listed first, and whether they’re sorted by first or last name.
    Change the name order for all contacts
    Choose Contacts > Preferences, then click General.
    Select an option next to “Show first name.”
    Sort contacts
    Choose Contacts > Preferences, then click General.
    Use the Sort By menu to choose how to sort.

  • Outlook 2010 Contact Group Issue

    We have a Public Folder Distribution List (Contact Group) that is accessible to several users. There are two significant issues:
    When changes are made to the list, they are not always saved. For example if I enter a contact "Jon Smith" with email information, and then realize it should be "John Smith" and correct it, in  many cases when I next open/use the
    list the contact info has reverted back to "Jon Smith". This appears to occur at random.
    Returning emails sometimes have sender addresses that are incorrect, i.e. an item sent to "John Smith" (a list member) will reach him, but his reply comes back as "Don Jones"
    In addition, we get locked out of this list at random intervals. Our environment is Exchange Server (I believe it's 2010, not 100% sure) and Outlook 2010 clients.
    Any insight is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steve Macey

    Hi,
    So this is a Public Folder Distribution List, please first check if you have the right permission to update it.
    Any other users having the same issue? Please share me the exact steps of how you modify the email information in the Contract Group.
    For the second issue, do you mean it's only the name that displays incorrect, but the email address is actually right? Please check if you have the "Don Jones" contact (in your case) in your address book, which has the same address info filled as "John
    Smith", the expected one.
    Thanks,

    The max number of persons allowed in a contact group is (as far as I know) restricted to 20 persons. This seems very low and I wonder why this restriction is applied. A limitation of 20 persons in a group is not practical. Any explanation or any idea if this can be changed in the future?
