Does the iOS5 allow publishing of a contact list group like it does for the Calendar for synchronization?

I want to publish a group list of contacts so everyone in my group can have an updated list of contacts. Does the iOS 4 or 5 do this?

I know that on the Blackberry z10, i was able to do it before i updated to the latest version. All i did was go under bluetooth settings and then select paired, then the device that i wanted to change the name on, then under device name, i selected the name area, which brought up the keyboard, which allowed me to rename the paired device. But with the latest version update, I'm not able to do this anymore.

Only allow people in my Contact List to contact me...

In my Privacy settings, I have "Only allow people in my Contact list to contact me" checked, but I just recently, within the past week, started getting spam requests from people.
Why? I haven't touched my settings pretty much since I signed up (maybe at the beginning to get things right, but not within the past year and a half).

2 contact lists ( Groups )

I have a complicated problem On my i phone 5s.
i have 2 contact lists ( Groups ) one under the name of I Cloud (750 contacts ) and the other under e-mail name( 650 contact ) some contacts are duplicated in both groups , the problem that i clouds only sync those contact under its name i can't find the other contact list over i cloud . anyone know how can i link both groups or copy the other contact list to i cloud

To copy the contacts from your email account to iCloud, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your email account, you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the email account) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap the email account that you are syncing contacts with and turn off contacts syncing with this account (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your device).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.
All your contacts should now be in iCloud. Since you mentioned that there were some contacts were in both your email account and your iCloud account, you will probably have some duplicates in iCloud now that you have consolidated them there. If that's the case you'll have to go to icloud.com and manually delete these duplicates.

On my contact list I have multiple names for one person

On my contact list I have multiple names for one person.

The Account Owner can see the call/text logs for all lines on the account, but each line needs its own My Verizon account for messaging and backups. Those lines will be listed as Account Members and will have limited info. available to them regarding the account.

Can I have a ringtone for people on my contact list and a different tone for unknown people?

I want to have a ringtone for people one my contact list and a different tone for people not on my contact list, which for me is always commercial that I do not even want to pick up.

To do this, you would have to assign the ringtone to each contact individually, and then set the default tone to something different under the Sounds menu in Settings.

Outlook 2010 no longer displays the calendar and my contacts.

After installing icloud, my Outlook 2010 no longer displays the calendar and my contacts, except in the icloud calendar and contacts listing. How do I restore Outlook calendar and contacts?

Thanks Julian for the suggestion. Unfortunately all still checked out and nothing amiss. However, after reinstalling OS 10.6.8 it appears that my calendar items are syncing once again, but not my contacts. I appreciate the suggestion none the less.
This same thing seems to happen each time I've upgraded Office with the associated version of Entourage, and now Outlook. Ah, well..nothing's ever simple. But I am thoroughly enjoying Outlook and the rest of the Office suite.

Adding caller with name and number from call list to the contact list only inserts the number and not the name

I recently bought a BlackBerry Z10 and moved my cell service to Rogers to take advantage of the name display service offered by Rogers (Fido also offers this service).
Due to the number of calls that I receive from first time clients, I wanted the name display service to help me know who was calling. Evidently it is impossible to add clients to my contact list before they call me so I'm constantly seeing numbers that have no name to help me decide if I want to answer the call.
When I try to add a caller from my call list to my contact list, only the number gets inserted in the new contact. The name needs to be entered manually.
I understand and realize that not all call display formats are the same and that it's virtually impossible to parse the first and last names from the name portion of the caller id.
However, I would like to see BlackBerry add the functionality to insert the name portion of the call entry from the caller list to a "Nickname" entry in the contact list just like it adds the number to a "Home", "Mobile", or "Work" entry in the contact list.
If a user doesn't have a name display service, there would be no change to how their contacts are added because there is no name variable to copy over.
Can someone from BlackBerry please let me know if this feature can be added to BB10 and when it can be added? For me it's an obvious feature that should just work.
I am really enjoying my Z10 but I'm feeling let down that something so logical and helpful is not supported out of the box.
Regards,
Marc

Hey ViciousFerret,
It appears that you are not aware of the fact that both Rogers and Fido offer name AND number display service (although the name display feature is an add-on service) and have been offering it for many years (since 2006). Here is a link to the name display service description of each provider...
http://www.fido.ca/web/content/manageyourcalls/calldisplay&lang=en
http://www.rogers.com/business/on/en/smallbusiness/products/wireless/addons/valuepacks/
As you can see from the link below, Rogers and Fido have been offering this service since 2006.
http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20060914005951/en/Teams-HP-Rogers-Wireless-Fido-Succeed-North
My BlackBerry Z10 shows both the name and number when someone calls (and the caller is not in my contact list).
All I would like is for the Z10 (and Q10) to support the addition of the name and number from the caller list to my contact list without me having to type the name. As I mentioned in my original post, to avoid the OS having to parse the first name and last name from the name portion of the caller list entry the name could simply be added to the contact list as a "Nickname". If your provider only has number display, nothing would have to be copied from the name variable in the caller list to the contact list.
I find it difficult to believe that BlackBerry would not be aware of this name display service since it's been around since 2006 with both Rogers and Fido.
I hope I have clarified the reasons why I would like to have this feature added to BB10 and how it's surprising that this simple feature is not already a part of the BB10 OS.
Either way, I don't think this is a difficult feature for the BlackBerry team to add. They're just copying a 2nd variable from the caller list to the contact list.
I'm surprised that Rogers hasn't asked BlackBerry to add this feature to their phones. I think it would be a popular feature for those who receive a high number of calls from first time callers.
How can I get this feature request to BlackBerry for their consideration?
Cheers,
Marc

My contact list is "stuck" on my FaceTime screen blocking half the image. Thoughts?

This happened when I went to my contacts list to initiate a facetime call and at the same moment a facetime call from another party came in and I answered it. Now I can't get rid of the contacts list from half of the video screen on facetime. Any thoughts on how to make it disappear without losing all my contacts? Thanks.

PS: Making a face time call from this contacts list makes it disappear only for the duration of the call. When I hang up, it reappears.

I would like set up my contacts into groups.

I would like set up my contacts into groups.
There seems to be no way to do this in either iOS or OSX. Android figured this out and I see no reason why Apple can't give us the capability to group medical contacts for example into an easily accessible group without having to resort to using Dr. as the first part of the last name in order to have them in a convenient group.
There are many posts that ask for this and Apple seems to have no desire to give us something useful in the entire spectrum of software while fiddling around with watches etc.

In the Contacts app in OS X click the "+" at the bottom and choose New Group. Once groups are created just drag the entries into the group list on the left in the Contacts app. You may have to go to the Contacts View menu and click Show Groups.
You cannot create groups in iOS, or assign contacts to groups using the built-in Contacts app. However, there are several 3rd party apps that allow you to move contacts among groups. I use Speed Names, but there are several others that people have told me are easier to use.

How do I delete a contact which is not in my contact list or anywhere else?

I need to delete contact information (email addresses and names) on my iPhone which keep coming up every time I type a remotely similar name in Mail, but isn't in my contact list.
I tried searching for the name and then the associated email address using the iPhone but came up with no result. I searched for the name and then the associated email address inside of my HP HDX-18t (Vista Ultimate 64bit) but came up with no result. I tried searching for the name and then the associated email address using the iPhone but came up with no result. I searched for the name and then the associated email address inside of my Yahoo account (using my Vista PC, not the iPhone) but came up with no result. I searched for the name and then the associated email address inside of all of my other email addresses and devices but came up with no result.
These names and the associated email addresses show up only in my iPhone and absolutely nowhere else. I tried Restoring my iPhone and that did not resolve the problem. Using the iPhone I tried going to Settings - General - Reset - Erase All Content and Settings. This did not solve the problem.
Every time I've ever sent an email to an email address and received a response from that email address that email address and name associated with the response has been stored someplace in the phone but no place else. This is a major pain because every time I try to send an email to one of my actual contacts I have to either type out their full name or flick through a stream of contacts which are not in any of my sources. This means I cannot send an email quickly (I'm using an iPhone so I should be used to a lack of speed, huh?) and am often lost in a sea of names and email addresses I cannot eliminate.
How do I get rid of this? I want all of the names and addresses which are not in any of my other locations gone! These are not even in my iPhone Contacts or even in the Sent email folders so there must be a way to delete them without their coming back!?!?!???!??!
Thanks all who answer with solutions which serve to solve the problem.

Try logging into your Yahoo account from a computer, search out the contact you are trying to delete and manually correct or delete the bad contact.
The bad information might be hidden as a second address or other contact information (or misspelled) and not be showing up on the iphone but will pull up the address anyway.
I had one old address in a contact that kept pulling up each time i tried to email him. The new address was there, but the old address was what the phone kept showing. When I edited the contact info from my computer the old address went away, and the new address started poping up.

My iPhone contact list was appropriated and spam emails were sent to them all. How do I stop this from happening again?

It was not, the more likely issue is that someone got access to your email contact list.
Change your passwords for all your email accounts.

All my incoming calls show unknown, even though most a from people in my contact list. How do I correct this?

Why do all my incoming calls show unknown, even when they are from people in my contact list?

Hi Hedland,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to first check your caller ID settings, as mentioned in this article:
iPhone: Understanding phone features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4515
Caller ID
iPhone (GSM networks)
Turn on or off in Settings > Phone
iPhone (CDMA networks)
Contact your carrier for information on using Caller ID
If your settings are correct, try the troubleshooting steps in our iPhone Assistant:

All the best,

Cannot add groups to Lync 2013 contact list

Just recently we've had reports (and I can verify this myself) in the Lync 2013 client if you add a group to the contact list, it says "Cannot perform this action, and the cause is unknown. Contact your support team to investigate this problem."
There is no issue adding individual users to the lync contact list, just if you search for a group (for example, Accounting) and this group is an easy way to add lets say 5 accounting associates to lync instead of individually adding each person at a
time.
Any idea how to diagnose this? In checking my Lync client version I get this:
Microsoft Lync 2013 (15.0.4675.1000) MSO (15.0.465.1002) 32-bit
Part of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013
The server is Lync 2013 as well.
Exchange 2013 is used on premise if that matters.

Hi KJSTech1,
To better understand the issue, I would like to collect the following information for troubleshooting:
1. Group expansion is enabled and disabled by using the
Set-CsWebServiceConfiguration cmdlet. Please make sure
EnableGroupExpansion
parameter is set to
true .
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398396.aspx
2. Can you run the command
Test-CsGroupExpansion to test the ability of a user to employ group expansion ?

How do I remove duplicate entries in my Contact List?

I imported my contact list from MS Outlook, but for some reason there are many duplicate entries in Thunderbird.

This add on claims to do what you want. I have never used it so I cannot comment on if it works.

I've a new account on iMac. When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar. WWhen I start keying in a name, it comes up with the address. How do I engage the contact list from the email?

I've a new account on iMac. When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar, which would allow me to select the persons I want to include on the distribution of the email. When I start keying in a name in the email, it comes up with the person's address, which shows it is synced. How do I engage the contact list from the email like I do on my old account (where a contact list icon shows up, along with the "attach" and other icons) ?

With the New Message window open, go to the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar...".
In the screen that opens, drag the item labelled "Address" into the Toolbar area of the New Message window, then click the "Done" button.
That item should be then added to the Toolbar for the New Message window.
Note that the main Mail window and the New Message window (as well as the separate message window if you open a message that way) use different toolbars - the settings/inclusions for one do not carry over to another.

Does the iOS5 allow publishing of a contact list group like it does for the Calendar for synchronization?
