Group contacts in Symbian address book (E66)

I'm getting annoyed by the fact that all contacts that belongs to any group contacts are still visible in the address book's "main tree".
I want the usual single contacts visible as they always are and contacts in groups not visible at all at the main contacts list. Contacts included in groups would only be seen in the group contact menu.
The issue is simple but little hard to explain. Contacts included in any group would not be visible among the usual contacts in address book?
Is there any workaround to solve this or any better third party contact application, perhaps?

Mail doesn't have a separate SPAM filter as such, not unless I've completely missed something. How are these emails begin marked as SPAM? Are they arriving with the word "SPAM" somewhere in the subject or body? If so, that's being added by your mail server's SPAM filter, not by Mail, so you'd have to address the issue with your mail service provider.

Can I group contacts like in Address book

I think the answer (at least for now) is no, but I figured I'd ask.
On my ipod, I can view my photos by "album", I can view my calendar by "calendar" why can't I view my Address' by "Group".
This would make things a lot easier. I'd also like the option to view by company vs. by person. Maybe I can do that by clicking the "Company" checkbox in address book. I imported everything from my palm desktop, and for contacts without a name this seemed to happen.
FYI - I'm on mac using ical, addresss book, and iphoto as source apps for the ipod.

I don't think so. It seems that the iPod software reads in all vcf files in the Contacts folder or any subfolders and then sorts and displays them in one list. I tested this by creating a subfolder "friends" in the Contacts folder and dragging my iSync.vcf file into it. Doing so made no noticable difference in how contacts were displayed on the iPod.
Looking at the iSync.vcf file in a file editor it doesn't appear that any group information is recorded in the vCard entries, so even if the iPod software could display people in groups the sync process between Address Book and the iPod doesn't include the group information.

I have many different mailaccounts and different groups of contacts on my ipad and iphone. Sometimes i made the mistake when i create a new account linking it with the standard account. How it is possible to move one account to an other group?

Is it possible to keep Contact List and Address Book seperate on iPhone?

I just made the switch today- big time – from Motorola to iPhone, and from PC to iMac, plus a Macbook Air as well for travel. Thanks to iphone and Mac forums I have been able to resolve most newbie issues and have exported my data, files and contacts without problem.
However there is one issue I have not been able to resolve or clarify:
- My old phone contact list has now been transferred my new iPhone, consisting of about 100 phone numbers which I use regularly.
- Address Book in my new iMac contains about 800 contacts including phone numbers, clients, etc, as well as personal bank account numbers, and other confidential data in the “Notes” field, which I need to refer to only occasionally.
But I understand that if I sync my iPhone with my Mac, it will merge my Address Book contacts on Mac, with the phone contacts on my iPhone Contact list, into one list. Is this true? Is it not possible to maintain 2 separate Apps on my iPhone, i.e
1. The iPhone Contact list for frequently used telephone contacts, and
2. The Mac Address Book with more detailed notes and account numbers, which I only need to refer to occasionally?
3. If this is possible, can I configure it so that a password is required each time the Address Book on iPhone is accessed? (I realise I can configure the iphone to require a pin when turned on), but I would like a password to access the Address App because of the confidential data. Previously I had all this data contained on a Palm Zire 72 handheld and its PC Desktop counterpart, where a password was required to access.
From what I’ve read on the forums, it will be very cumbersome to have a phone contact list with 1000 names on it, so I want to keep phone contacts simple with phone numbers only. (I realise I can set up Group folders in Address Book, but this is not what I need). I'm also concerned about having confidential information on my iPhone which can be accessed without a password for that particular application. I intend to get MobileMe but that also does not address the issue of keeping Telephone Contacts seperate from Address Book on iPhone.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Speculating:
if, as already suggested, you use the Groups function to sync only the 100 contact list numbers, then how to get the expanded Address Book?
I've not used it myself, but Bento might be worth looking into--Bento on the Mac pulls your Address Book data (I'm pretty sure) and syncs to Bento iPhone.
I don't recall hearing about any alternate phone books, but since pretty much any program on the Mac can hook into the Address Book, you might look at the more powerful note organizers to see if any of them pull that data?
You might have a problem getting notes added on the phone back into Address Book on the Mac, though.
I actually right now keep my main address book in MS Entourage (similar to Outlook), and only use the Mac Address Book to sync to the iPhone. I could sync Entourage to Address Book, but I don't--haven't sorted out the data yet, and I don't really need all the same numbers in both places.
If that sounds possible, you might look at Mark/Space and Missing Sync for iPhone---something like keeping all 800 contacts in Entourage, and syncing them all, but moving the confidential portion of each contact into Entourage Notes and syncing those via Missing Sync, perhaps might work. (I think you can link a contact to a note in Entourage)
An interesting problem. You might also send feedback to Apple:

as this is really not a usage scenario they've planned for. They probably don't care, though--doesn't seem all that common.

Contacts per iMac address book: 1,301 iCloud: 1,486 iPhone 4s: 1,508 iPhone 4: 1,489 How can I make them all the same?

My address book has been an intense problem for me for a while (i.e. even pre-iPhone 4s/iCloud). Before I upgraded, my iPhone 4 had thousands of duplicate contacts. The address book was up to ~7,500 even though what was then Mobile Me had somewhere in the 1,000 to 1,500 range for contacts. So after I upgraded, I attempted to fix it by doing the following:
I connected my iPhone 4S to the iMac (after I set it up with the latest iPhone 4 backup), went to the iTunes info tab for my device and unchecked syncing for any address book contacts, calendars, email accounts. And then I synced it. This didn't work. I believe my contacts were still at ~7,500.
So next I tried checking just the Sync Address Book Contacts option on the info tab which then allowed me to check contacts under the Advanced/Replace Information on this iPhone section at the bottom of the info tab. This made my iPhone contact list further balloon up to 13,000 + contacts.
So the next thing I did (still in the info tab) was to select Selected Groups under the "Sync Address Book Contacts" section of the info tab. I believe I still had the option to replace the info on my iPhone selected. I then selected one of my contact groups that had no contacts in it. Why would I create a contact group with no contacts in it? I didn't. I created some smart groups and prior to my iPhone 4s upgrade I noticed the smart groups contact lists I spent some time setting up were not populated with anything. Same with some of the non-smart group contact lists I had created.
After telling it to only sync that empty group and to replace the contents on my iPhone I ended up with 1,508 contacts. Why I didn't end up with either zero or the same number as in iCloud is beyond me. This at least seems closer to my true number of contacts but as mentioned in my subject above the number of contacts differ between all three places (iPhone 4s, iCloud and iMac address book). I also noticed that my wife is no longer in my iPhone 4S or in iCloud as a contact but she is listed in the iMac contacts which has fewer contacts than the other two places.
So I believe that in all three locations, there are situations where the address book includes contacts not in the other two locations, and vice versa (excludes contacts that are in the other locations). Can somebody help me understand how I can truly sync my contacts so that they are identical in all locations? This has been a huge problem for me since the Mobile Me roll out and sadly continues to persist now that I've migrated to iCloud.
Blah, I am so fed up with this persistent issue.

I assume you never got a solution. My own painful story is here:

How to sync iPhone 4 contacts to Mac address book

Hello!
I can sync all my contacts from the Mac address book on my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4. However, why does it not sync the iPhone contacts to the Mac address book? Should it not be like a two way sync? I was looking at the syncing options but it does give that option. I just want to make sure that I have the same contacts on my iPhone and Mac. I do understand that MobileMe does that. But till I can afford to have MobileMe, maybe there is another solution?
Anybody... help!

I had a major drama doing this last night, have managed to restore my Address Book file with a backup after I mistakenly wiped all the contacts I had created on my iPhone. Yikes! I suggest when you sync your iPhone leave it plugged in after the sync until you check that the contacts are all where they should be. That way, the most recent backup that is done automatically when you plug in the iPhone will still have all your iPhone contacts should something go amiss and they can be restored. Also export your computer's Address Book (File>Export in Address Book) which should land in your Documents folder.
To get all my iPhone's contacts back into my Mac's Address Book, I created a group in my Mac Address Book called 'iPhones contacts'. When I synced the iPhone with my Mac, (Info tab>Sync Address Book Contacts in iTunes), I checked the box that says 'Add contacts created outside of groups on this iPhone to...' and checked the new 'iPhone contacts' group and when I synced, all the new contacts on the iPhone landed in my Mac's Address Book. Phew. Heartstopper!

HT2486 can I print out the contact info for all contacts in my address book?

I haven't found anything on support to determine if I can just take a group with 10 contacts from my address book and print it out like a CSV file or just a plank page.
Any suggestions if this can be done?
Thanks in advance,
Clay Anderson

To print out a group, select the group name of the contacts or select them holding down the Command key and clicking on each name. Then Addressbook > File > Print > click the Show details button > select the items below in the dialog box > select the fields to print > print or print to PDF.

Do not want ALL Contacts in my Address Book on my iPhone

I have a lot of business contacts in my address book on my Mac that I do not want on my iPhone. Is there a way to select specific groups to snyc from iCloud? Or is it all or nothing?
Thanks
Bonnie

Depending on how your Address Book is organised it may be relatively simple or not, but basically you need to drag the contacts you want to move to On My Mac to your desktop, delete them from Address Book and add them back (double click on the file on your desktop) once you have selected All On My Mac from the groups list.
If you don't have an All On My Mac group, you'll need to go to preferences > general and make set your default account to On My Mac.
You can drag more than one contact at a time so if you have them in groups already it will help, if not you can work through the list of contacts using cmd click to select just the one's you want.
You can turn off the sync with Google and Yahoo from preferences > accounts > On My Mac.
Summary:
Select all the contacts you want to move
Drag them to the desktop
Delete from Address Book
Set default account to On My Mac
Select All On My Mac from groups
Double click the file on your desktop

I want iPhone Contacts to override Address Book on Mac #2

I have updated my Address Book in my MacBook Pro and have synced it with my iPhone - so I'm finally good there.
However, I am trying to update my iMac and need to update the Address Book there. I don't want to sync it at this point - I want to wipe the iMac Address Book clean and start anew with the iPhone.
Any tips on how to do this?

Hi Im running on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 with the updated version of iTunes.
I just recently changed from using Outlook for Mac to using iCal and Mail. Outlook for mac was my main platform for contacts and calanders. When switching over, i managed to sort out my calanders into iCal, but my contacts do not seem to copy into my address book. All my updated contact are in my iPhone. iTunes still shows options to sync to groups i created in outlook even though i have totally deleted outlook.
I basically want to syc all my iPhone contact to my Address book and override the contacts I have in there already, and use address book as my contacts platform.
Help!

Contacts in my Address Book on my iMac don't sync with iPhone

I'm a real newbie to my iPhone 4S, so I'm sure this is something that should be really obvious to fix. Searching for an answer has not helped.
I have an Exchange account in Mail and all the contacts in that account show up as Contacts on my phone. However, those are the only Contacts the phone has. None of the Contacts in my Address Book on my iMac were copied over to the iPhone when I sync. What do I need to do that make that happen?
Thanks.

IPhone Contacts - OS X Address Book sync

I'm a new iphone user. For some reason, my Address Book application is not syncing with my iphone contact list. When I set up the iphone, the contacts in the address book went straight to the phone. But, when I've added new contacts on the phone, I can't find a way to automatically sync those into my Address Book. There appears to be a way to do this on the iTunes sync options, but the box is grey and won't allow me to check it. Is it possible to have contacts entered into the phone sync with the Address Book Function on my PowerBook?

Yes this is possible - the sync function for Address Book contacts and iCal calendar events is bi-directional with the iPhone - or should be.
You indicate there appears to be no way to do this via the iTunes sync options but the box is gray and won't allow you to select it which sounds contradicting.
Under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, is "Sync Address Book contacts" selected?
If so, this is the selection and do you have "All contacts" or " Selected groups" selected below?
This should do it.

Import contacts from old address book on MacBkPro Snow Leopard into new MacBk Pro Lion

How do I import my contacts from old address book on MacBkPro Snow Leopard into new MacBk Pro Lion (on MacBkPro Retina). I can see the "AddressBook" file on the old HD (extracted from old machine--which died) and have a copy of that file on to desktop of new machine. [Copied from old HD: Users/home/Library/Application Support/Address Book]. There is an Address Book in the same location on the "MacIntosh HD" of the new machine, but some of the files in that (new) folder have different names. Risky to simply over-ride this. What should I do?

My mistake - my groups are there! They transferred perfectly. Still getting used to my wonderful new machine. Sorry to bother you!

QuickBooks Pro7 Contact Synch with Address Book

I want to get QuickBooks Pro7 Customers to Contact Sync with Address Book.
(Currently, I can only get Contact Sync to work in Address Book for Vendors, where it correctly creates a new folder group with vendor contacts.)
I have updated all versions, corrected permissions, and tried the Apple Store Genius Bar.
Any ideas?

How can I sync contacts in my address book to my iPod Touch 2nd Generation with iTunes 10.5.2?

My iPod Touch with OS 4.2.1 will no longer sync contacts from my address book on my computer now that I've upgraded to iTunes 10.5.2 and to Lion. I have ensured that the iPod Touch is set to synchronize all my contacts. The calendar continues to sync.

I have the same situation. I believe I disconnected iCloud by going into preferences and also unclicking the box for Contacts. What am I missing?
