Contact "GROUPS" won't sync via MobileMe "over the air"

I am having a problem. I just bought an iPod Touch (the latest model). I have upgrade to the latest iOS version. When I use MobileMe over the air syncing to sync my Address Book contacts, I don't get my groups. When I choose "Groups" it's empty and I can't get back to "all contacts." It does sync all my contacts though.
However, when I turn off the MobileMe sync, and sync it manually, by checking "Sync Address Book Contacts" in iTunes, I get my groups back. I have an iPhone 4, and this isn't issue present. Maybe it's an iPod issue?
I only see groups if I "check" sync. Any ideas? Again, iPhone 4 works fine.
Bryan

Who knows what the problem was... I removed groups in Address Book, MobileMe had different ones, iPod different ones, etc... MobileMe needs some work. After an hour, I had to delete the groups then recreate them, then everything seemed to work fine.

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.

ITunes Unable to Sync Google Contact Groups?

Seems the previous topic on "iTunes Unable to Sync Google Contact Groups?" was archived without a fix being reported!
I have iTunes (version 9.0.3.15) running on Windows Vista and iPhone 3Gs (version 3.1.1) and this issue with not being able to select sub groups in Google Contacts is still buggin' me... a lot!
Has anyone heard if Apple have fixed this?
Thanks, Adam.

I just got off the phone with Apple support. They said this feature is not supported. It was, but not anymore.
You would think that this would be pretty easy to figure out.
I'm just as frustrated as the rest of you.

How to sync Google Contacts groups to iPhone?

I can sync my contacts both ways between Google Contacts and my iPhone's phone book.
Contacts in Google contact are grouped. When contacts are synced to the phone, grouping information is lost.
How do I preserve grouping information?
Related question: I only want to have a few selected groups in Google to sync with my phone. How do I do that?
why when I sync google contact at itune, the" selected groups" is gray?

Use your Google contacts: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, tap your Google account,

Google Contact Groups not displaying

I just bought an iPhone, and installed iTunes so I could do some syncing with my gmail account.
I'm selecting "Sync contacts with google contacts", and when I click "configure" I am prompted for my username and password. It then flashes a dialog window for a split second saying that it is connecting to google before it disappears (I assume failing somewhere).
I'm running windows vista, and have the most up to date iTunes (9.0.2.25). How do I get the groups to appear?

I'm having the same issue except Im not even getting all the contacts coming through. The only contacts it now syncs are the ones that are not in groups in Google. This was working before to the extent that it pulled all my contacts but now nothing. A fix would be nice

Difficulty keeping Google Contacts and iCloud in sync

I have an iPhone, an iPad, and a Gmail account. I'd like to keep my contacts consistent across all of them, but I'm finding this to be very difficult.
I followed the instructions on here which seemed to work for editing linked contacts. But there is a problem with this approach: when using my iphone, I can only add contacts on one of the two accounts (either gmail or icloud) but not both at the same time. If I'm in "all contacts" and click the add contact button, it will only add a contact in the account designated as "default account" in the iOS contact settings.
Is there a better way to keep all contacts synced?

Since you are using Google, you might consider not trying to add iCloud in the mix, and just sync your Google contacts to your iDevices. There are many web pages which will walk you through how to setup your Google account on your iPhone or iPad as if it were an Exchange account. Going that route, you can then select to sync your contacts over the air between Google and your mobile device. I used that for about a year, then I made the full switch to iCloud.I've debated about going back, but I haven't gotten that desperate yet.

OS 10.2.1 Contact Groups Won't Close

If I start to create a contact group, select all the members, then go back into the create group window, I cannot save, cancel or do anything. If I close the contacts app and go back in, the same window is still there. The only way out is to reboot.

Hello terpfan4life77, your user agent(in more system details) probably is corrupted (by FBSMTWB) and identify MAC 10.5 and Firefox/3.5.11
see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-say-firefox-outdated-or-incompatible Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version]
note that IF you have 10.5 you can not update to latest version : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works-mac-os-x-10-5 Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.5]
thank you

Another "my contacts & calendars won't sync" guy

My iPhone was bogged down and doing some strange things so I decided I'd reset it in an attempt to refresh things. After resetting it, my contacts and calendars will not sync over the air with Mobile Me. (Mail and bookmarks are fine)
I can switch them off in Mobile Me on the phone and they'll sync fine over the cable, but of course they won't update until the next cable sync.
I've tried deleting the Mobile Me account from the phone and building it again but this did not fix anything.
I've scoured many posts in this forum and found several people suffering a similar type of problem but no one has the definitive fix.
Any more ideas?

Since you've already performed the most drastic step in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1672
10. Delete the account from your iPhone or iPod touch. From the home screen, tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, and then tap your MobileMe account. Tap Delete Account. On the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars screen, tap Add Account > MobileMe, and set up your account again.

Contacts suddenly won't sync

I've been happily syncing my Linkedin account to Outlook, and then syncing Outlook to my iPhone. This worked beautifully until yesterday. Suddenly the iPhone has only two contacts called "Linkedin Test Contact". All my original contacts are still available in Outlook, but syncing doesn't seem to work.
The iTunes Outlook Addin is still active, so I'm not sure what's going on.
Any advice?

Hello nurikabe,
There are several ways to troubleshoot the data in your Outlook profile.
Before troubleshooting your Outlook data, you'll want to back up the Outlook data. A web search for "backup Outlook" will yield various means to do so, including links to Micrsoft articles.
The data or .pst file Outlook is accessing in your original user may not be in a format iTunes can sync:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1324
You can try setting up a "group" subfolder in Outlook and dragging contacts into it in small batches and syncing that one group to the iPhone. You can find some info about groups and Outlook in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1658010
You can try exporting your Outlook data and then importing it into a new Outlook profile:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918
Hope that helps,

HT1386 entourage contact photos won't sync with iphone

I use Entourage for my contacts, email and calendar, the version I use is part of Microsoft Office for Mac 2008, Entourage version 12.3.3 on a MacBook Pro, using Snow Leopard, OS 10.6.3, and I'm trying to sync my Entourage contacts with their corresponding photos for each contact to my iphone 4s OS 5.1.1 The contacts sync but the contact photos did not. I also use FileMaker Pro To Go and managed to sync that with my FM desktop version which has photos that correspond to their contacts and that synced contacts with photos to the iphone without any problems. Does anyone have any solution ideas? has anyone experienced this same problem?

Nope. The only thing I can suggest is disregard the photo issue with the sync. I looked up the issue on Google and some other people were having the same issue with Entourage. I checked Microsoft forums for it but nothing was there.
Other posts indicated that it was because entourage uses a different data entry set for the user photos, which iOS does not use.

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.

Google Contacts API 2.0: Add option to select which groups are synced

This has been a requested issue for quite some time now:
*1) Add an option to control what Google Contact groups are synced in ITunes*
Currently, if you sync to Google Contacts, iTunes will pull in EVERY contact from your Google Contact list. That includes those contacts filed under "Suggested Contacts", which lists contacts you email on a frequent basis. The workaround for this is to delete your Suggested contacts every time you sync your iPhone, or risk the issue of having hundreds of new junk contacts in your iPhone.
I understand that there was an issue in the Google API before, the issue being that there was no way to distinguish between which group the contacts were coming from. That issue is now gone, it was corrected in the update of the Google API to 2.0 on December 12th. Now, when syncing, the ability to distinguish which groups the contacts exist in is there. Below is the documentation of those changes:
http://code.google.com/apis/contacts/docs/2.0/developers_guide.html
With Google's update, the iTunes implementation of syncing Google Contacts can allow the selection of only specific groups to sync.
As said before, this is basic functionality that has been requested by many for a long time (search Google if you don't believe me), and I hope and pray that the wonderful iTunes/iPhone gods will bestow upon us the ability to select Google Contact groups in the near future. Are there any plans to add this functionality? If so, when might we expect an update?

Hello Blindbug.
I do apologize. But this is a user to user community. And no one here knows when or if certain features or products will be released unless there has already been a public announcement by that company released for everyone to view and read.
If I can be so kind as to refer you to iPhone feedback below. And you may wish to also spend some time going to google's site and submitting feedback as well.

Contacts won't sync with my new MacBook (The operation couldn't be completed. (CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1.))

Hello everyone.
I recently bought a used MacBook Pro (Mid 2012, running OS X Mavericks) as my first Mac, so maybe it is really easy but I cannot figure it out myself.
I am really satisfied with the product, the only thing that is bugging me is that the built-in Contacts App won't sync my existing iCloud contacts.
It's working fine on my iPhone and iPad but it does not seem to be working with the MacBook. At first I thought maybe it could use a reboot. That didn't work. Next I deleted the iCloud account from the Mac, rebooted again, entered my account data and opened contacts again. Still nothing even after waiting 10 minutes.
Then I found this nice option "Show Last Import". And behind the "iCloud" group I noticed a little exclamation mark. After I clicked on it I was presented the following error: "The operation couldn’t be completed. (CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1.)"
I don't really know what to do with this error since google and other search engines did not deliver a resolution to this problem which worked...
Is my iCloud broken or something? Everything is working fine so far with my other devices (iPad, iphone, icloud-website, even my Windows PC at work can sync the contacts :-/)
I hope you can provide me a solution because I am out of ideas myself

So for me I found a solution after hours of searching. Surprisingly it is in another thread here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19223886#19223886
Problem solved with a lot of help from Apple Support. After upgrading to ML, I still had all my contacts in iCloud and on the iPhone, but not on the iMac and the MacBook.
1) We have set up a temporary second iCloud account for me.
2) On my iPhone, I signed out of iCloud and did NOT delete the contacts.
3) On the two Macs I signed out of iCloud and had everything deleted.
4) I signed the iPhone up with the new iCloud account and synced all contacts into that one.
5) With Safari I opened the online interface of my original iCloud account and manually deleted all contacts.
6) On my iPhone, I signed out of the temporary iCloud and did NOT delete the contacts.
7) On my iPhone, I signed into my original iCloud account and waited for the contacts to sync.
8) On the two Macs I signed into my original iCloud account and everything was okay again.
So have my contacts back, but we do not really know what was wrong.
As the original author said, I had no idea what exaclty was wrong but somehow it's working.
I'm not using any Google contacts so unfortunately I can't help you with that.

Sync Google Contacts via iTunes not working

Hi
Just got a new Macbook with Yosemite and am syncing my Google Mail, Calendar, Contacts with the Macbook without difficulty, I have disabled iCloud syncing for Mail, Calendar, and Contacts.
Now, I want to get Google Contacts set up on my old iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1) as a stop gap before getting a new iPhone down the line. However, I can't find a reliable way of getting my Google Contacts on to the iPhone 3G.
Exchange Sync and CardDAV do not work. I don't mind syncing via iTunes but I can't set this up either. Despite telling iTunes to sync 'All Contacts' it won't sync those from my Google account. Only contacts in 'On My Mac' group sync across, but I don't want to manually keep track of and copy new Google contacts into this group just to sync.
Why won't iTunes sync the Google contacts group - currently it is the only group in my OS X Contacts.
I have reset sync and reinitialised the iPhone to factory image - neither works.
Any advice appreciated.

try rebooting the appletv.
also, you have a first generation appletv but have posted in the second generation appletv forum.
