Contact Groups

Hi all,
I have a few groups in my Contacts, and every now and then I add a contact to the wrong group, or a contact moves to a different group for some or other reason.
How can I move a contact from one group to another without having to delete from the wrong group and recreate in the correct one?
In the Create or Edit of Contacts, there should be a dropdown of all your groups and you select the group for that contact while creating or editing.

Yes, you can create groups but you can't set ringtones by group. You'd have to create the group, then set the ringtone for each contact manually.

  • 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.

  • Not all emails are showing up when using a contact group

    Hi,
    I haven't seen a similar question posted to the forum, so hopefully someone can help me.
    I have a MBP running Mavericks 10.9.5 and I'm trying to create a contact group to expedite emails. I've created the group in my mac's contact app, however when I select the group to email (regardless of if I select "send email to..." in contacts or do a search for the group directly in the To:  line of the email) only 2 of the 6 contacts in the group show up.
    Some troubleshooting I've already tried:  adding the same group to all the accounts in the contacts app (i.e. iCloud, On My Mac and my personal email account); verifying there's only one email address shown in each of the individual contact cards; switching all the email address labels from "email" to "home" in each contact person's card; and the classic restart.
    It's always the same 2 contacts of the 6 that show up, so I'm assuming there must be something those two have the the others don't. I appreciate any ideas on what else to try.
    Thanks!

    Thanks. I had the first row colored as a header but it wasn't defined as a header. As soon as I did that within Numbers the table appeared.

  • How can I specify which contacts group is my preferred/default for my iPhone?

    Similar situation as others I've seen...
    My wife and I share an iTunes account.  We also use that account for our iCloud account.  We want to share our calendar(s) with each other.  We enjoy having access to the number of contact groups we've put together over the years. 
    I want to be able to designate one of the contact groups as my default reference for my iPhone so that when I recieve messages and calls they are recognized by the identifiers in my phone's contacts list (not as if they are my wife's contacts).  Sure, we could set up multiple iCloud accounts...  We feel we shouldn't have to, besides, that wouldn't allow us to share our calenders and contacts anymore.  It seems to my that the most "Apple" way of fixing this would be to have a "Settings" option in the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" - particularly in the "Contacts" grouping to have a "Primary Contacts Group" (if more than one is detected) option to choose from.
    Is this something that can be done or do I need to submit this as a requested future feature to something like the Apple Bug Reporter?
    Thanks all!

    Is there a way to specify which network card (IP
    address) that the jvm will use as default? (Whenever
    opening a connection such as URL.openConnection,
    sockets without specifying the local address etc.)No there isn't, but if you are only talking about outbound connections and the network cards are on distinct subnets, unicast routing will ensure that the most appropriate outbound NIC is used for the target IP address, so configure your firewall accordingly.

  • How can i move my contacts into different contact groups on my ipad

    i have created contact groups on my ipad through icloud, i now want to move contacts into different groups, but can't work out how to do it!! any help would be appreciated.

    If you have a Mac, create the groups in Address book application.
    You can also log into icloud.com and create the groups there. They will sync to your iPad.

  • If you cannot sync contacts this might be the problem...too many contact groups

    I have a Centro and MAC book and was trying to use ISync and then Missing Sync to sync data. In both programs the contacts would not sync but all else did just fine. I have many contacts but did not need all of them on my phone so I organized them into groups in the address book, with one group being a list of the current contacts I wanted on my phone. With MissingSync the program will only sync a certain number of groups, although I had more than that number I didn't think it mattered because I was only trying to sync the one group. It matters. Even though in the Missing Sync conduit setting the group was listed and I only checked that group off to sync - nothing would sync. 
    The solution was to save a back up of my address book and then delete all my contact groups except the one I wanted to sync. POOF! It worked. I am not sure exactly how many groups would work but if the priority is to get a certain number of contacts, not all, on your phone and you have a lot of groups, maybe this strategy will work for you. If you are using ISync, since the problem was the same for both programs, maybe this would also be the solution in ISync. 
    What led to this ah-ha moment was a forum moderator at MissingSync suggesting I create another user on my computer with administrative capability, create a few test contacts and then try to sync. This did work, the contacts did sync.
    I hope this may be of help to someone and possibly save you a lot of time.  Good luck!

  • How do I find my Contact Groups in iPhone 3G (v2.0)?

    My Contacts are setup in Entourage on my Macbook & they auto-sync with Address Book which has all the contacts setup in Groups. iTunes successfully synched all my contacts across to my new iPhone 3G (I'm not using the iPhone for email yet - haven't set it up). When I go into Contacts, I can't see any buttons/options/anything that lets me see any groups + there's no group info showing within any individual contacts. In iTunes, when I sync, the Info tab lets me "Sync Address Book contacts' but only "All contacts" - the "Selected groups' radio button is greyed out (I can't select it) as is the checkbox for "Put new contacts created on this iPhone into the group". I don't know whether this is just a 'feature' here in Australia, but it seems odd. Am I doing something wrong or missing something here? It'd be really gr8 to get iPhone to recognise my contact groups. Any help appreciated thx.

    Well blow me down & keelhaul me! I've solved my own problem. The issue appears to be that Apple won't sync Smart Groups from Address Book to the iPhone. I created a test group with a few dud contacts in Address Book; iTunes sync'ed then OK & as soon as I went into Contacts on iPhone, there suddenly was the Groups button appearing with 2 Groups - my Test Group + all Other contacts. Nice one apple - another undocumented feature! Looks like I have to do away with the Smart Groups feature & convert them all to normal Groups in Address book - bugga!

  • Unable to view contact name in Contact Group on CX 600

    We have CX600 phones which are tethered over USB to computers. I created a contact group in Lync client with some external phone numbers and I edited their contact card to show up the names for them. When I go to view Contact groups on CX 600 I
    can see the group and I can see all phone numbers but the names do not show up? Should I be able to view names and then click on the name and view numbers?
    Please help
    Thank you

    Hi EddieBro,
    Did you use another CX600 phone to test the issue?
    If the issue still exists, I suggest you can refer to the following steps and retry.
    1. Create and modify the Contact Cards in Outlook.
    2. Add the contacts in Lync.
    3. Check the result in CX600 phone.
    Note: Please make sure the contact only has one contact card in Outlook and remove all double entries.
    Best regards,
    Eric

  • How can I view or sort or group my CONTACT GROUPS together in Outlook 2010?

    How can I view (in my contacts list or address book) or sort/group my CONTACT GROUPS together in Outlook 2010, separately from the individual contacts?

    In the Contact folder, use a custom view that shows only Contact groups.  Create the filter on the filter dialog's Advanced tab -

  • Feature Requests for BlackBerry10 OS: Sync Google contact grops to BB Contact groups

    Hi,
    I am using my Z10 and as well a Q10 for already one year now.
    What I am still missing dramatically is the opportunity that my google contact groups get also synced into groups in the BB device.
    I am using several groups to inform different teams with emails or SMS. All of them are organized in groups on google - unfortunately BB10 is still not able to sync these groups - and I am talking about 390 contacts :-/
    Is there any plan to integrate this feature?

    I don't know if there is any coming funciton for that.
    You can create those Address Book Groups in your device Contacts app.

  • How do I sync Google Contacts groups to iPhone

    I have all my Google contacts in different Groups.  I would like to have those same Google contacts groups synced to iPhone Contacts app. I followed instructions to sync iPhone Contacts with my Google account.  All my Google contacts did sync to iPhone but there were no iPhone contact groups created. So I have one huge list of contacts. How do I sync the Google contacts groups?  Thank you

    Hi - from the"iPhone 6 User Guide for iOS 8.1",I followed the following steps:
    Use your Google contacts: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, tap your Google account,
    then turn on Contacts.
    So I entered Gmail and password. Then withing Contacts app I pressed the Sync link.  Afterwards I've got all contacts in one big list, just not categorized by Google groups.

  • Auto update of contact groups in Address Book when created on iphone?

    So, I'm OK with how to work with two phones on the one itunes account, with regard to contacts and calendars, but can I get Address Book to automatically add any new contacts created on each phone to the correct contact group?

    In iTunes, on the Info tab with the iPhone connected, there's a pop-up menu to choose the Address Book Group to which new contacts created on that phone are added. Check the box and select the proper group from the list.

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

  • 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).

  • 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!
