Contact Groups now difficult to use

Contact groups are now difficult to use. I now have to deselect 9 groups to get to the one list of contacts that I want to see. It was so much easier in ios5. Can this be changed back to the way it was or am I doing something wrong.

Tap "Hide All Contacts" and then tap the one you want

Deleting a contact group on iPhone (not using mobileme)

I am trying to delete a contact group on my iPhone and can't find how to. I do not use Mobile Me which I have read a bit about but can;t for the life of me find a way to delete the group!!

For instance, I use Windows Address Book, because I don't want all my contacts from Outlook on my phone, but you could use Outlook or another contact manager. I went into WAB, found the extra group entries, and deleted them. This does not delete contacts in the group, if any.
Then on the next sync, they were corrected. If you have spurious ones left over from another sync method, in iTunes , choose "info", and down the page under "Advanced", "Replace Info on this iPhone", Choose "Contacts". On the next sync, it should look right.

Does PC suite sync contact groups?

Hi all,
Got the 6230i phone, and I use the Nokia PC suite to sync it with the PC. Now recently when my phone broke down and then replaced by a similar one, I've notice that my contact groups weren't backed up, and I had to enter them again manually. So checked PC suite, and saw it wasn't aware of contact groups at all, although according to its help, contact groups were supposed to be supported. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks,
David.

> - First, unlike what you say, my contact groups weren't safe. As I explained in my original message, contact groups weren't restored to the replaced phone I had got.
You can check if the contact group is correctly backuped using Noki. The problem you mentioned is usually occurred between S40 and S60 phones. They store contact group differently - S40 stores in a separate section and S60 stores contact group together with contact database (in the contacts.cdb file). These two format doesn't recognize each other very well.
What's the law of the jungle?

6233 contact group system sucks

I don't know about you, or the people at Nokia, but I use contact groups primarily for sending a single message to multiple recipients.
Create message (be it sms, mms, voice or e.mail), select which contact group it is to go to, and it goes.
Simple, straight forward, intuitive.
In every phone I've ever had this is how it's worked.
So why does the Nokia 6233 demand I confirm which number I want to use for each and every member of a contact group?
Why?!!
Why break something that was working fine?
I'm not an idiot, I've selected which number I want to be the default for each contact in the address book, why can't it have a selectable setting to automatically use the default number?
IS IT REALLY THAT HARD!
What precisely are contact groups supposed to be used for now? what good are they?
And are Nokia intending to fix this in an imminent firmware upgrade or am I going to buy an SE k800i

How long since you have this problem?
Did it ever work?
Please check if the contacts disappear there when you sign in with Lync 2010.
For further troubleshooting, enable Lync logging for your attendant client.

How am I supposed to use my created iCloud contact group on my iPhone?

I followed the instructions & 'help notes' on creating a contact group by logging into my iCloud account. Now on my iPhone I can see the group when I go to Contacts & click on the upper left hand "Groups" button, but that screen only lists which list of contacts I've got synced with my iCloud. Unless I'm missing something, I do not see how I'm supposed to actually use/implement my new "group." I was hoping to be able to create a new text & type in the name of my group & send, or have an option to choose from a group list to use as my recipients, but instead nothing.
Am I completely missing the point of grouping contacts on the iPhone???

About all you can do is when addressing the email, tap the "+", navigate to your groups, uncheck all groups but the group you want to send the email to and tap Done, then tap each member one at a time to add them to the list of recipients.
Otherwise you can use an app that will allow you to select an entire group at onece (such as Speed Names).

Outlook 2010 using Windows XP - sync specific contact groups only

Hi -
I have an iPhone 4, and I sync it with specific contact groups (work and personal) in Outlook on two different PCs (work and personal) - which used to work.
I'm now usings iTunes 10.2.2.14 and it doesn't on my PC with XP which has Outlook 2010. Instead of syncing my specific folders, it tries to sync ALL of my contacts.
In iTunes, I click on Info < check the "Sync Contacts with" box < choose "Outlook < choose "Selected groups" < check the boxes for my specific folders (do not check the "Add contacts created outside of groups on this iPhone to:" box) < click apply and it starts to sync
You're asked if you want to merge or replace, I click merge, and then it asks me if I want to change my 407 contacts - that's my entire contact list! I don't want that in this computer's outlook ... I only want to sync the folders that I selected.
Note that this process does, however, work using the same iTunes version on my PC with Windows 7 and Outlook 2003.
Help! (and thank you)

Exchange 2013 doesn't support MAPI RPC, it has to use RPC over HTTPS, a.k.a., Outlook Anywhere (or POP or IMAP, which are inferior) so it sounds like everything is working as designed.
The password being rejected for Outlook Anywhere suggests that you have a configuration error. Run this command:
Get-OutlookProvider -identity EXPR | FL CertificatePrincipalName
and make sure that this matches the CN of your certificate. XP has a problem when it doesn't. You can change it with Set-OutlookProvider if need be.

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.

HT201269 My latest back up was on March 14th, 2013. My boyfriend has been using my Apple ID so we are linked on iCloud. Just recently we got each others contacts and now we get each others messages. Will that setting be changed if I switch phones without

Okay, so I cracked my iPhone 5 and just got a new 5s in the mail. I'm using the same number, sim and everything. My latest backup was on March 14th, 2013. My boyfriend uses my Apple ID for a year now but we just recently got each others contacts and now we receive each other's messages. Will we lose that setting if I don't back my phone up before switching new phones? Cause I didn't have that setting before when it was last backed up. If I could back it up I would but I don't have nearly enough storage so that's why I'm asking lol. We want to keep the setting like that so we still get each others contacts and everything

You can always resync the Contacts, Notes, and Messages by signing into those services with the same AppleID once you have the new phone set up.

I stopped using iCloud after another family member received all my contacts. Now I want to restart using iCloud. How do I prevent this happening again? We share the same Apple id password and credit card but different usernames.

If two of you shared the same contacts you were logged in with the same Apple ID. In order to avoid this you need to use different Apple IDs, and be using separate Macs or separate user accounts on the same Mac.
One or other of you should create a new Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com for which you will need a non-Apple email address which hasn't been associated with another Apple ID.

Contacts: Specify which email address to use in Contact Group?

I have a few mailing lists that I keep in Contacts. However, I have multiple email addresses for some of these contacts. When I send an email to the list, the wrong email address will be used for some of the contacts. Is it possible to specify a default email address for a contact? Or a way to specify which email address of a contact should be used for each Contact group?
Thanks!

Yes.
So select the group in Contacts. Then choose Edit->Edit Distribution List... and you can pick which of the emails you want to use for the group in question.
It took me a while to find it, but I've done it before so I managed to turn it up

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:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

How do I use a Contact Group email address as the sender of an email?

I want members of the contact group to be able to manual select the contact group email address as the SENDER. This, primarily, so that recipient clients can respond, if necessary, by merely pressing reply (then the entire group gets the email).
Possible?

By "contact group" do you mean a distribution group? If so, you need to use one of the following the shell commands:
For Send on Behalf: Set-DistributionGroup <group alias> -GrantSendOnBahalfTo <useralias>
For Send As: Add-AdPermission<group ID>-User<user alias>-ExtendedRights'Send-As'

First, we're not Apple here (Apple does not participate in this forum). We're only users like you.
The previous owner has not given you the correct ID and password for you to use.
