Contacts groups bug

The groups selector keeps defaulting to ALL GROUPS in the contacts app on my iPad since upgrading to iOS 7.
It works fine on my iPhone.
Anybody else seeing this?

Unbelievable, over a year since your original post and still no solution to this. Do you have more than one iCloud account or other contact account active on your ipad? I do, but I have the same problem with groups regardless of how many accounts I have active on the iPad.

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.

Sending mail to a contact group with a numeric name

Hello!
I have a problem when sending mail to a contact group. The contact group is named "1234", and in Mail the autocompletion of the address is not performed successfully.
However, if I rename the group to "A1234" then it all works. Sounds like a bug to me.
Also, I have 31 people in my contact group. And, when adding the "A1234" group in the To: field - not all in the contact group are added. (And yes, they all have valid email addresses)
This also sounds like a bug to me. Or, am I missing something?
I should also add that when - in the address book - I select the group and "Send email to group", not all people in the group are added either...
Cheers,
/ Peter

Your email provider limits the number of email addresses you can send to at once, so it's likely you exceeded that limit, thus causing their server to hang. Check with them to find out that limit, then try reducing the number of recipients your sending to in that group to that number or less.

Contact groups not complete in Communication Centr...

I'm using Communication Centre 7.1.40.1 on Windows XP with SP3 in order to edit contacts on a Nokia 6300i via bluetooth.
Contact groups created on the 6300i are not displayed correctly in the Communication Centre, eg. a group with 17 contacts appears empty in the Communication Centre.
How can I fix this bug?

Hi,
Does your phone has got latest firmware on it? Why not try Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.2.42 from www.europe.nokia.com/ovisuite and check this issue?

Ghost contact group after syncing with Exchange?

There seems to be bugs in syncing iPhone with Exchange. After I connected to an Exchange 2007 account, I have the following groups on the iPhone:
- All contacts
- (EmployessList)
- Contacts
- WORK
- PERSONAL
- TEMP
I do have WORK, PERSONAL, and TEMP folders under my Outlook contacts, so those three groups are not stranger to me. But I don't understand why other two gets there.
And I understand the "Contacts" groups are for those in the root of Outlook Contacts folder, which haven't been sorted into any sub folder.
But the (EmployeeList) group totally comes out from nowhere, I don't have that folder in my Exchange mailbox. When choosing it to view on the iPhone, it is empty. I created a fake name under this group and it never get sync'ed to Exchange.
Where exactly does it come from, and how could I get rid of it?

This issue was resolved when I changed something for another error. I guess the email address has to match "case sensitively" with what you have in Exchange account. As soon as that was corrected, the (EmployeeList) group disappeared after a successful sync.

How to hide one out of many contact groups?

I have set up more than 10 contact groups on my iPhone 5. One of the groups is 'Inactive' in which I put some seldomly used but not yet want to delete contacts.
When I want to hide the 'inactive' group, I go to the iOS7 Contacts app, tap on 'Groups', tap on 'Hide All Contacts' and tap on 'Show All Contacts' again.
All the contact group are now checked. Then I tap on 'Inactive' group because I suppose it will uncheck the 'Inactive' group only. However, the result is that it just keep 'inactive' checked but unchecked all the other groups. IS THIS A BUG IN IOS 7?
What I need to do is to check other groups one by one. After that, I find the check/uncheck action becomes normal.
I am not sure whether this happen in previous iOS but for iOS7, I can always repeat the bug.

Prior to IOS7, we could manipulate Contacts Groups just as you want. Click All Contacts then click on the group(s) you did not want to be shown. Unfortunately, IOS7 now makes it necessary to click on each and every Group that you do want shown. IOS7 is definitely a two steps backward "upgrade" when it comes to this.
Similarly, prior to IOS7 it was possible to edit (delete) individual "conversations" within a multi-conversation text. Now all you can choose is whether or not to delete the entire text. Another two steps backward part of the IOS7 "upgrade".
Lots of good things about IOS7 too, but these two negatives are features I wish Apple would have left as-is.

Sending to a shared contact group with subgroups fail

Hello all,
I am hoping someone can help me with this one, as I have researched non stop and cannot find an answer.
SCENARIO:
Outlook 2010 (with all the latest updates)
Exchange 2010
Windows 7 x64
We are a group of 15 users. All 15 of us add a shared mailbox used for communications into our Outlook client so we can access and monitor the entire mailbox, including contacts.
When trying to send a communication to a Contact group that is in the shared mailbox contacts, it will work fine unless there is another contact group within that group (subgroup). The email will bounce back with the following error:
[email protected] #550 5.4.4 ROUTING.NoConnectorForAddressType; unable to route for address type ##
If you send to a contact group with a subgroup from your own local contacts, it works fine.
If you send to a contact group without a subgroup, it works fine.
If you log directly into the shared mailbox and send from there, it works fine.
This issue appears ONLY to occur when sending to a contact group that has a subgroup within it from a shared contact list.
Based on my investigation, it appears that Outlook is trying to look for the subgroups within the local contact list, not the location of the actual contact group itself. Perform the following steps:
Add an additional (or shared) mailbox to your Outlook profile.
In the shared mailbox contact list, create 2 contact groups. (Test 1 and Test 2).
Add Test 2 into the Test 1 group. In Test 2 group, create/add a contact. (This may easiest be done by the shared mailbox itself)
Ensure you are logged into your original profile, and Right click the Test 1 group and Create->Email.
You will notice right away if you expand the Test 1 group, it will show up Test 2 (Unknown) and if you try and double click Test 2 to see it's properties, it says it cannot find it. If you perform this same step while logged into the shared mailbox directly,
it is able to locate the contact.
Any information I have found on this bounceback references a bug where a link in an email who try to send to a contact using MAILTO instead of SMTP. However, this is not the scenario I am in.
It is currently not feasible to have everyone add all these contact groups into their own contact list, as these groups change all the time.
If anyone has any ideas how this could be fixed, or have maybe other suggestions of how to use and access groups with subgroups for communications without logging into the shared mailbox, that would be great. We are unable to login to the shared mailbox
directly anymore as we are doing away with shared passwords.
Thanks all

Hello,
How did you select the recipients when composing email? Did you click the To button and select it from the Address Book or use the auto-complete list? If you select from the auto-complete list, please try deleting the contact group from the auto-complete
list and then test again.
In addition, since the bounceback error is similar to the MAILTo bug, we may try to install the hotfix to take a chance.

Delelet about 2000 contact groups with same starting sequence for name

Hi,
I have about 2000 contact GROUPS, which I need to delete. All groups start with _ModGrp and were created by a Deutsche Telekom app (according to the groups names) on my iphone and syncronized to all my devices. I´ve reported this app to apple a while back and the bug got fixed, however I still have all those groups.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

All recently created Group Chats will be Cloud based group chats. It doesn't matter whether a group is created using Skype 6.21 or 7.0 version. Obviously, all groups created using 7.0 are cloud based, because the 7.0 version was not yet available when P2P groups could still be created.
Groups created in the past using 6.21 version might still be P2P type but they can be accessed by the 7.0 version too.
However, groups created on one Skype device are not automatically added to Contact List on Skype clients installed on other devices.
As pointed out by Capreolus, the group created using 6.21 should appear in the Recent tab whenever some one sends a new message to this group, and from there it can be added to the Contact List. At least in theory, this should work. The "real life" might be unpredictable.

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 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
