Contact Groups not showing up on Iphone when syncing with Mobileme

My contacts show up in my address book on my Iphone but when I go to look at my groups the page is blank and I cannot get back to my contacts without closing and reopening contacts but still no groups. I want my groups to show up. I have at least 4 groups that show up on my me, and syncs fine with ipad....
I THINK THIS IS A ISSUE with the new verizon iphone.
Please help if anyone has

I am having a similar issue. As is my wife. I also believe that it is a bug in the current iOS on the CDMA iPhone 4.
It is just as you described, and I have to close Contacts completely in order to restore my access to the contacts list. And, like you, our groups show up just fine on our iPads (within minutes of making changes, as we sync over MobileMe).
It doesn't appear to be a letter-case issue, as at least my login is in all lowercase letters.
I sure hope that this is fixed in an iOS update soon! It's rather problematic for those of use who use their iPhones for business purposes.

Songs purchased on iPhone through iTunes Store will not show up on iPhone after syncing with iTunes

I recently purchased iTunes Match (about a month ago). Since purchasing Match, any songs that I have bought on my iPhone 4S (32GB, Sprint) through the iTunes Store app will not sync back to my iPhone after syncing with iTunes on my computer. I have iOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54. The only way I can get them to show back up in my iPhone music library so I can play them is by re-downloading the songs through the iTunes Store app. Which is super annoying because now it is about 10 songs that keep doing this, and they are in multiple playlists. Is anyone else having this problem and have you found any fixes? Really regretting purchasing the iTunes Match (which is not enabled on my iPhone, just on my computer).

How to create custom ringtones ...
1. Open iTunes.
2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
6. Click the "Options" tab.
7. Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
8. Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
9. Click "OK."
10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
13. Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
14. Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
Hope this is useful ...

Avatars from Google Contacts is not showing anymore on iPhone after sync in iTunes 10.7

Sorry for my English in advance.
Before update to iTunes 10.7, avatars from my Google Contacts was transfer to iPod Contacts well. After iTunes was update I had to connect with Google Contacts in iPhone “Information” (in Russian) menu again and after that newly create contacts in Google Contacts is transfer to iPhone without avatars.
Please, help.

I was having the same issue too. I was hoping that apple will address this issue with a SW update or at least someone from apple would be kind enough to answer this thread.
After researching for a couple days I found a solution. It's not the most efficient, but it works. You'll need a CD-R or CD-RW with this method. The trick is you need to convert m4p file format to mpa or mp3 file format.
You can follow the following steps:
1. Open iTunes
2. Create a New Playlist: File -> New Playlist
3. Drag the song(s) to the playlist you just created. Note: Depending on the file size you might only be able to burn just 1 song at a time
4. Insert a Blank CD to your disk drive.
5. Right click on the playlist then click "Burn Playlist to Disk." Then click burn. Make sure the Disc format is set to Audio CD.
6. Once the disc is finished, click on the CD in the device section in iTunes. Right click the song and click "Create AAC Version." This will create a .mpa file into your iTunes.
7. Copy that file to your iPhone and you're golden
Hope this helps guys. I know it's not the most elegant solution, but it works and now you can workout with those tunes. I know I've been quite frustrated because my tracks didn't show up, hopefully the new SW update will fix this.
I would appreciate any apple genius' solution that is more efficient as well.
Cheers

I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

Groups not showing up in iPhone Sync Options

Runnning iOS 5 on an iPhone 4S (although I don't think that's the issue)
Running iTunes 10.5, Lion 10.7.2.
When syncing my phone via USB (or wireless for that matter) under the info tab the option exists to sync Address Book Contacts and there is a radio button that should allow me to select groups, however there are no groups to select and much of it is greyed out. I have 3 groups in my Address Book application, but they aren't showing up as options to sync to in iTunes.
I have restarted the computer in an effort to get iTunes to recognize (and offer) the Address Book groups to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Just as a follow up, I opened a support case with Apple on this topic because as stated my wife isn't/wasn't impressed with my Contact list. The fundamental problem is iCloud basically takes all the Contact Groups and moves them into the cloud which prevents you from selectively putting AB Groups on your phone from within iTunes. The resolutions was follows:
1. Close Address Book
2. System Preferences -> Uncheck Contacts (sync) (Note: Make sure you keep a copy on your Mac)
3. Wait an unspecified amount of time so that the contacts have time to sync up to the local Address Book.
4. Open Address Book (I don't believe that opening Address Book before your contacts sync matters) and verify that your contacts show up under 'On My Mac'
5. Reboot Mac
6. Open iTunes with your iPhone connected
7. Verify that you have a recent back up of your iPhone (iTunes Preferences -> Devices)
8. Goto 'Info' tab in iTunes under your iOS device
9. Check 'Sync Address Book Contacts' and leave it as 'All contacts'
10. Scroll to very bottom and check "Replace information on this iPhone' (assuming you don't want to Merge) Contacts sections
11. Click 'Sync' button
12. Once it completes the sync you should now have the option to sync only selected groups
I've added a feature (www.apple.com/feedback) to iCloud for the ability to sync iCloud AND to selected groups...or if they are so inclined the ability to sync selected groups with iCloud in general. This seems like a convoluted process to get this feature back but it works, I just wish Apple wouldn't change expected behavior for what I would think is a popular feature.

Contact Groups Not Showing In Outlook

As of yesterday morning contact groups disappeared from my Outlook 2010 contacts. Logging into iCloud.com The groups are all there with the right people in them. Is this resulting from an update to iCloud, or is something corrupted in my system?
Thanks!
~Mike

Hi,
I would like to create two folders - one for me and one for my wife. So under 'My Contacts' in Outlook 2010 it looks like this:
Suggested contacts
Contacts
Suggested contacts (email address)
Simon's contacts
Julie's contacts
iTunes has picked up these sub-folders - THANKS!
However, I would like to keep the 'Contacts' folder with all the contacts in and only copy selected contacts from there and place them into my wife's folder and mine. The 'copy' function does not seem to work.
Obviously my contacts are different to my wife's and she does not want hundreds of names on her contact list.
So, basically how do I copy contacts without moving them out of the contacts folder and manually typing them all back in my wife's folder (some contacts we both need)?
Hope you can help on this one.
Many thanks,
Simon

Nike+ workout tracks not showing up on iPhone after sync

I have a bunch of the "workout" mixes you can get from iTunes (Increase Your Speed, Treadmill, etc), and with each of those sets, one track is a continuous mix of all of the songs. That one track is what I want to sync with my iPhone.
According to iTunes, the track is on the iPhone. When I click the little triangle next to the iPhone icon in iTunes, I see that the track is on the iPhone, but when I try and find it on the iPhone, it's not there. I have tried creating a playlist and also searching for it by name.
Any ideas why those track are not showing up? Thanks!

IPhone calendar syncing with MobileMe not working

Could somebody help me figger out how to readjust the settings of syncing me iPhone with MobileMe and the latter with my iMac at home?
The thing that's not working as it should is this: when at home, in Belgium, changing/adding appointments in iphones calendar, the next day, when I was at work in Holland, where my 3G network is functioning(I switch off dataroaming because of the huge costs), I often see that appointments were put back to before the change I most recently made. This is frustrating, and cause for difficult planning/scheduling.
Anyone know how to tackle this? Would there be something wrong with the settings? I doubt the latter because, when I do the same thing as I mentioned above in Holland, things work fine.
Bug???
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

My husband just got a new iphone and my notes from my older iphone automatically synced with his phone which he doesn't want. How do I stop my notes from going to his phone

My husbands new iphone syncs with my old iphone. All my notes when to his phone. I don't want this to happen. How do I stop my notes from going to his phone. Thanks

Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

Problem when syncing with MobileMe

I am using iPhone 3G, software 2.1. I use GMail for email (no problems) but my contacts, and only my contacts, sync through MobileMe.
The problem is that with MobileMe active, my Contact list, "Mail, Contacts and Calendars" settings and several other minor features simply do not work - they open, pause for a few seconds, then crash. The Mail application also hangs and crashes every other time I open it.
My local Apple Store restored 2.1, after which my Contact list and Email worked perfectly until I re-activated my MobileMe syncing, after which the problems resumed.
As the problems occurred only after MobileMe syncing is turned on, I assume this is the cause of the problem, but because "Mail, Contacts..." settings crashes every time I open it I cannot disable MobileMe syncing.
Any suggestions please? All help gratefully received...

This was resolved by completely removing the MobileMe account from the iPhone, rebooting it and adding the account again.

Double Calendar Entries when Syncing with MobileMe Cloud

I synced up my new iPhone the other day and all of my calendar entries are doubled up on it - two entries for each. It's been syncing with my MobileMe cloud for a few days now and continues to have this problem. Funny thing is, my Calendar app on my Mac does not sync up the double entries. It only shows one, as it should be. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

This happened to me too and I think it has to do with your phone showing your calendars from your MobileMe and then all of them again from your computer. Go to your Calendar on your iPhone and hit the "Calendars" button top left and it should give you options to select "All Calendars" or "From My Mac" or "MobileMe". I ended up having "All Calendars" selected and it showed both, Computer & MobileMe at the same time so it looked like I doubled everything.
Let me know if this works or if I screwed up on my syncing or preferences somehow.

IPhoto frozen when syncing with MobileMe galleries

Hello all,
I have about 30 MobileMe albums uploaded from iPhoto. I noticed that 3 seconds after i updated metadata (photo title, rating etc) of any photo in the online gallery, iPhoto freezes. I am very positive the freeze is caused by the fact that iPhoto tries to sync that change with MobileMe (the icon next to the online gallery changed to the spinning wheel)
I come from a programming background and it seems to me the freeze is caused by something like "using UI thread to do the sync and because the thread is blocked by the network I/O". I hope this is not the case because it's a very poor/half-*** design.
Does anyone have insight on how to avoid/fix this issue?

syncing with Mobile me does lock up your system - I'm guessing tha this is because until recently you could continue making changes while the update was taking place causing problems with the update
The best way is to make an album of the photos you want in the mobile me gallery, make all of your changes there and then publish the completed gallery

My ical events showing up as "new events" on my ipad and iphone when synced with exchange?

I am running exchange 2010 and have my macbook, iPad and iPhone syncing to exchange.

Tv Show Purchased on ATV, when synced with iTunes wrongly removed from ATV

I have a Season Pass for Family Guy. Every new episode, when I sync the Apple TV - the new episode gets copied to the Mac and is removed!!! from the Apple TV - in contradiction to the checkmark I have on the option "Include Episodes from Playlists:" - "Purchased on Apple TV"
I bought the Season on the Apple TV.
The new show automatically downloads to the Apple TV.
I can start watching the new episode.
When iTunes starts the sync, it does not know about the new episode. But checks for Purchased/New content.
Finds and begins copying the new episode to Mac.
The new episode is no longer on the Apple TV.
I must check the new episode name, and Sync again,
and wait for the episode to copy back,
It was already there, shouldnt need to copy it back.
Please give me the option to say "Dont take it off the ATV" or obey that inclusion checkmark when the new episode is discovered to have been purchased on the ATV. "Include Episodes from Playlists:" - "Purchased on Apple TV"

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
The tv is doing what it should, sorry it's not fully clear whether you realise that and whether your post contained a question or just the suggestion at the end.
I think your 'Don't take it off the tv' suggestion is really good, so let  know about it.
