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?

I need help on syncing groups with PC Suite. When browsing contacts with Phone Browser, I can edit/view contacts, but no info about the groups I've defined on my phone.
I've also tried syncing contacts with Lotus Notes but no groups were exported.
This is a very important feature for my job.
Thanks ,
Silvio

if you are using the ovi.com, i would suggest you get your contacts squared away and sync them elsewhere, that is going to be deleted soon, if not already.
i had issues syncing my data with nokia services for the longest time. it was good, then they "fixed" the nokia suite and it wasnt....then there was ovi suite and that botched them all too.
i used to sync directly to my outlook with the 9500, and then through my other devices until ovi suite when i grew tired of the challenges with the contacts.
eventually, i ended up signing up with office365 to get an exchange account for $5/mo.
i think that the devs for the software products only use thier nokia exchange accounts when testing, which goes around the issues that we have had.
i would create either a google account and sync there, or if you want to also sync directly to an outlook, create a live/hotmail/outlook.com email address and then download the hotmail connector application for your pc, and then it will sync your wireless devices and outlook like a free exchange server and sync contacts/calendar/email.
if you go that route, you can get the hotmail connector here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/microsoft-office-outlook-hotmail-connector-overview-HA0102...

Sync contact groups

Hi
Can anyone tell me how to sync contact groups between an iphone contact list and a gmail contact list including contact groups ?
thanks in advance

I just set up syncing with Gmail Contacts for my wife's iPad this morning. IOS doesn't handle Groups. I've seen lots of gripes about this in many places online. I've also seen it suggested that we should suggest this as a "feature" to Apple. I'm going to look all day today for a place to do this. I hope you will, too. Good luck!

IPhone sync does not show updated contact groups or iCal groups

I have now spent the entire evening chasing issues with the Sync using iTunes 7.31. (I'm betting you'll see 7.32 very soon!) It began when I could not sync my iPhone via iTunes as it would hang when trying to sync contacts. After exporting all contacts, deleting all groups and reimporting the contact, I was finally able to get it working again ... well almost. When I went to sync, it now gets stuck on the calendar portion. So, thinking I had it figured out, I attempted to backup my iCal and restore from backup. I also deleted a bunch of no longer used groups. Well, when I went to sync again, it started hanging once again on the calendar. I also noticed that all of the cleaning up of groups in both the address book and iCal was for not as the changes did not get ported over to iTunes. So ... anyone know where iTunes is caching the info?

Was finally able to solve the issue by deleting all iCal preferences, all iTunes preference, and all iSync preferences in the /user/library/.

Syncing Contact Groups

Afternoon all, wonder if anyone can help me with something. Not sure if this is going to be possible but no harm in asking eh?
Basically, at our company we have 3 senior managers all using iPhone3G. They have their Exchange mailboxes syncing mail, contacts and calanders to their iPhones. They can access our company golbal address book fine in the Groups section of contacts.
Is it possible to sync another address book to their iPhones as well as the global company address list? E.G. in contact groups on the iPhone, they will see Global Contacts as a group and also this other group of contacts.
Hope this makes sense?!?
Cheers

i have a new iphone as of last week -- had all my contacts in outlook 2007 in one group and synced them. then i figured out I could create groups in folders-- which would make searching easier on the iphone. i did that and they show up in itunes and sync perfectly.
fyi -- (i couldn't get "contact groups" to work -- i had to create new folders in outlook contacts instead of groups. that may help the problems listed in this thread.)
now, i'm trying to figure out how to "delete" the initial contacts (that are all of my contacts in one group) from the iphone and leave them on outlook.
i'm working with outlook 2007 and a pc. the initial sync in essence duplicates all of my contacts and is unnecessarily taking up space on the iphone.
any ideas?

Cant sync contact groups from Yahoo

Im trying to sync my yahoo address book to mac address book (Leopard). Contact are syncing fine but it does not show the groups, or "catagories" as yahoo calls them. Is there a way to sync groups from yahoo???
The only reason I need to do this is to get my groups to my iphone, and apparently the only way to do this is from the mac address book.

Does iOS support syncing contact photos using Bluetooth PBAP?

I know iOS supports PBAP.
I know the PBAP protocol supports syncing pictures (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bluetooth/msg28488.html)
Does iOS supports this too?

No one would have any idea what Apple plans, unless they announse - which is very rare.
Iphone does not support bluetooth printing.

Contact Groups synchronization with Microsoft Outl...

It seems one of the biggest problems of the synchronization of S60 with Outlook is that it doesn't syncs contact groups with Outlook categories.
I've searched the forum, and the net, I see a lot of people searching for this and never a solution.
Is there any way of doing this (ex: external application)?
Does anybody in Nokia reads this forum, and maybe, can make this request from so many users arrive to the development team?
Miguel

With all the technology the Nokia does possess its hard to imagine that they cant provide a simple feature that seems obivous to so many users. If they would provide some opensource documentation, I would code it.
I am no programmer, but I believe I can map a string of few bytes to a symbian app after a few beers..
Come on, Nokia..
Please!

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.

Mavericks can't sync contacts need to sync multiple family iPhones to same account but keep contacts in separate groups

Both my wife and son have iPhones and prior to mavericks I was able to sync contacts through iTunes and select which group of contacts synced with the phone so for instance my son would only see his contacts and my wife her own,but the imac would hold the master back up
I cannot see anyway to do this now as the only way to sync contacts appears to be through icloud.i can't find any support documents to explain what happens if I turn icloud sync on as all it says on iphone is merge contacts which presumably would then put all contacts on each phone
Does anyone know how I could achieve the desired goal?

1 person = 1 account
iCloud is for individual use, so if 5 people share the same account they will get all of the contacts (and calendar events) in the account. Kinda messy.
Give each person their own account in iCloud and their own user account on the Mac.
iTunes can still be shared with a seperate ID for all to use.
Syncing via iTunes has nothing to do with iCloud, and is no longer possible with Mavericks.

Outlook contact groups not appearing in iTunes Sync

I was having trouble getting contact groups to appear in iTunes froma outlook. For awhile I got 1 group to appear and no others. I expermentally deleted that group and it remained while nothing else showed up. Apple support had no idea what to do and I stumbled upon a solution eventually. Since other people seem to have had a similar problem judging from the forums I thought I'd post my fix if nothing else is working for you.
When you create a new group in MSoutlook (by right clicking and selecting new folder) in order to keep your contacts orginized it makes that folder in a subfolder of whichever folder you clicked on. This doesn't display in MSoffice at all, all folders simply appear in a straight line with no way for you to tell where they are. The issue is that if you have these groups in any other directory besides Contacts they will not appear in iTunes. In my case everything was a subfolder under Suggested Contacts. In order to fix/check this simply click on your groups 1 at a time and select the "move folder" option, select Contacts, then hit OK. Rinse and repeat until all your folders are filed under contacts.
Once you've completed that open iTunes, go into the info tab of your device, and sync contacts with outlook. Just select sync all if nothing appears. After the sync all your groups should appear below for you to pick and choose which groups you'd like to upload. I hope this helps.
This fix was using Office 2010 on Windows 7 (64-bit) with iTunes 10.5.2.11

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

CONTACT GROUPS BOX is EMPTY in Sync Window for iPhone

Hi,
I go to the Info tab for my iPhone in iTunes to select what I want to sync.
In the Sync Contacts section I have two choices: All Contacts or Selected Groups. But Selected Groups is greyed-out and the box is empty.
I have 6 Contact folders in Outlook but none of them appear in the box so I can't select one.
How do I get them to appear in the box so I can select just one of them?
Thanks!!

Hmmm. If you upgraded in the course of an itunes reinstall, that can sometimes set off a security software interaction. The security software has to update its rules for the new version of iTunes and so forth, and so there's an opportunity for something to start going wrong along those lines after an update.
I'd quickly check through your Norton firewall rules. Quit iTunes before doing the checking.
Is there a rule for iTunes in your Norton at the moment? If not, I'd create one, allowing full access to the internet.
If there is a rule, but it isn't allowing full access, I'd change it so that it does have full access.
If there is a rule allowing full access, I'd delete the rule and add a new one (allowing full access).
After creating and/or amending the rules, try rebooting the PC and then launching iTunes. Are you still getting the same error messages and problems?

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.
