Group contacts on iphone & with pc

I have just gotten the 3GS. I am switching from a palm treo to the iphone. I have an HP with Windows XP 2002. I have NOT purchased outlook yet.
On outlook will I be able to group my contacts into lists?
Or will I need an app? Is there an app you like that works with outlook or should I just five up on this feature?

Hi,
Yes, you can group your contacts by putting them into folders.

Why can't I display members of a contact group on my iPhone with IOS 6

Just discovered that I cannot display members of a group on my iPhone 4s running IOS 6.
When I tap on a group, I just get a check mark or erase the check mark by the group. The group will not expand to display the members of that group.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
JUST FOUND THE ANSWER!
You have to de-select the All Contacts group (get rid of the check mark), select the group you want to display (check mark shows), then tap done and the group selected will display.
Not the most intuitive procedure, but it works?

This works. Simple but like you say not intuitive. Where is the manual on this.

New Itunes 9.2.1.4 eliminated syncing contacts on iPhone with Outlook 2007

I get the following message when plugging in my iPhone to my Windows 7 based computer: "iPhone could not sync contacts to “john” iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone" This just happened today after updating iTunes 9.2.1.4. Anybody have a solution?

This is the part of phones & computers that is so hard to deal with, it has made me loose my mind sometimes.
BEFORE YOU EVER UPDATE YOUR ITUNES ON EITHER THE MAC OR PC.
MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR PHONE & OUTLOOK FIRST.
EXPORT YOUR ENTIRE OUTLOOK PROFILE INTO A .PST FILE (READ HOW TO DO THAT, IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW)
I go a step further and export my contacts separately, my calandar, notes separately too. just in case the .pst file gets corrupt.
Then put all of them on a backup CD or DVD
After making sure you have valid backups. Search the internet for any problems on the new update that is available and make sure it doesn't have a Bug on the computer you are using etc.....
don't just install the update, cause it just came out. I would wait a few days, to make sure there are no problems with it.
One of the worst updates Apple put out: was for the iPhone, when it was new in the market and everyone who downloaded and tried to update their phone, it erased all their contacts on the phone and computer. that would've put me in the hospital.....
I'm a tech for Mac and PC music/video studios, so I do this for a living.
I'm still using the iPhone 3gs. My clients and friends are all texting and asking when they can buy a 4.0.... I say wait until the 2nd version comes out.
which I'm right, cause they haven't worked out all the kinks.
So if you're running a business and have a real job and pay bills, don't mess around. Buy the 4.0 for your kid, so he or she can be the beta tester for apple.
as far as your Syncing issue. 2 ways to fix it.
remove the new itunes 9.2.1.4 and delete the system registry keys, restart and install the previous version of iTunes that didn't give you that message. There's really no reason to keep updating iTunes every time they do an update, unless there's something wrong or missing and read the updates that they are offering in the new version to see if there's anything significant for you to bother with it. or else wait for the next one.
the only thing that really comes to mind is that Microsoft and Apple work with each other move the market in the direction to maximizing sales.
Office just introduced version 2010 for PC users. So I'm assuming that the reason that 2007 stopped working for you, is because it's going to force you to go purchase 2010....I bet you it will sync fine after that.
I'm also a beta tester for microsoft and been using the 2010 version of Office and it's amazing.....and I downloaded the 9.2.1.4 and sync'd just fine.
So again, when all the new stuff comes out, it starts bugging you in ways to make you upgrade and purchase the newest technology.
I support that and for the past 15 years, we're all beta testing the future, hopefully the next generation will appreciate it, because these companies need the support right now, to build future products that will be seamless....
hope that helps.
just remember, don't be 1st in line when new stuff is released. Do your homework and do a search like this before touching your system: "iTunes 9.2.1.4 problems"
good luck

Public Contacts on iPhone with ActiveSync problem.

Hello everyone,
First of all I'm going to explain a little about the situation we currently have.
So, the managers in this company told us they wanted a "Public Contacts" list within Outlook, which could be synchronized with the company iPhones via ActiveSync.
What we did was make a new AD user account, which is in linked to an Exchange user mailbox. We gave our employees full "Manage" rights on this mailbox and added the "Public Contacts" list in their Outlook.
The problem then was, that they could edit the contacts.
So we started to test with certain rights within Outlook. We deleted the employees from the "Full Manage permissions" list within the exchange mailbox and gave them view rights on the Public Contact-list within Outlook. (Commentator rights)
When we did this, they could view the contacts, but they could not edit the contacts. This was exactly what we wanted, so we started to test with the synchronisation with ActiveSync (iPhone)
We added the exchange mailbox in the iPhone and we could see all the contacts.
However, the only problem that we have now is that our employees can edit the contacts on their iPhones, while they CAN'T edit the contacts within Outlook. (on PC)
I hope someone could help us find a solution for this permissions problem.
They can't edit the contacts on the computer, but they can on the iPhone. :(
If something is not clear, please let me know.
Thanks in advance! :)

Hello Eric,
First of all, thanks for the reply.
We've done the following:
- Create a new AD Account called "Public Contacts"
- We created a new mailbox on the Exchange Server called: Public.Contacts"at""company""dot""com"
- We connected the Public Contacts account to this new mailbox.
- We gave our test account called "Helpdesk" NO
rights on the mailbox on the exchange server (so no Send As and no Full Manage rights).
- Then we went in the Public Contacts mailbox (within Outlook) and went to contacts. Here we gave the account "Helpdesk" Commentator rights. (View Everything, but nothing else)
- We went into the account "Helpdesk" and went to contacts. I could not edit any contacts on my computer (Which is a good thing).
- So I've got it running on my PC now, but on the iPhone I won't even see the contacts. I've added the Exchange mailbox to the iPhone and used the Helpdesk account to login to it.
Before we could edit both the contacts on the PC and on the iPhone. Now I can see the contacts on the PC, but I cannot edit them... but on the iPhone they won't even show.
I will definitely try out your suggestion though.
Thanks!!!

How to delete contacts from iPhone and update changes to PC after synch?

I spend a lot of time deleting old/unwanted/duplicated contacts on iPhone. Then I synch with PC through iTunes and I get two options: 1. MERGE or 2. Replace contacts on iPhone with PC information. If I click MERGE then all those contacts I deleted come back to my iPhone. MERGE seems to be a merely 'collapse' information feature...whether is from PC to iPhone or viceversa.
Obviously I don't want to replace my iPhone contacts with those in PC, because then I will loose all those pictures I took to my contacts...also, all the time spent assigning pictures to contacts will go to trash can.
This is kind of irritating...am I the only one having this problem? Active Synch for SmartPhones or Pocket PC nailed this down beautifully (it knows where the latest/most updated information happened and keeps that one).
Help please.

Thank you for trying to help.
I don't want to replace the information on my iPhone because in my iPhone where i have the most updated information (pictures assigned to contacts and deleted duplicated/unwanted contacts)...I would like to replace the contacts on my PC instead.
After doing what you are suggesting will I be able to replace information on my PC? Is this what you mean?
Thank you.

ITunes deleted all contacts in iPhone

Hello!
I've synchronized contacts on my iPhone 4 with Microsoft Outlook (using iTunes), and as a result all my iPhone contacts were deleted, and contacts from Outlook were written to iPhone. So, I lost all my iPhone contacts, despite indicating in iTunes that I need to COMBINE two address books..
The question is - is there any chance to restore my iPhone contacts?
And additional question - is there a tool to send all contacts from iPhone to Windows Contacts? iTunes does it in its own way, updating only part of the contacts. For example. I've deleted all contacts from my WIndows Contacts, synchronized iPhone with Windiws Contacts, and still only several contacts appeared in Windows Contacts.
Thank you for any advice.
Best regards,
Alexey

An extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes

I am having this problem which appears to be happened after i sync with my computer. In the contact group, there is an extra group 'on my iphone' appeared after i sync with windows contact via itunes, and even though now i stop syncing already, the group is still there. Can anyone here give me some suggestion on how to remove this group permantly, i not just wanted to remove the contacts but the entire group form appearing on my iphone. Thanks.

Is the app compatible with the iPhone (e.g. it's not and iPad-only app), and do you have the relevant iOS version on the phone ? Or do you have Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps set 'off' on the phone which will stop new apps being installed ?

How can I replace ALL Contacts on the iPhone with my MobileMe Contacts?

I have removed all duplicates in AddressBook on my various Macs and have uploaded the master copy to MobileMe. I would now like to replace all Contacts on my iPhone with that MobileMe master.
I have followed the steps in the KB article for syncing the iPhone but when I get to the step of turning on the iPhone Settings for the Contacts it looks like the sync wants to merge the contacts. Of course, I do not want to "merge" since that will reintroduce all those duplicates.
I suppose I could manually delete each of the the hundreds of contacts that are on my phone until it is empty ... and then turn on the iPhone setting for Contacts. That way it will have no option other than "add." But surely there is a more efficient way.
(FWIW, when I turned OFF the setting for the Calendar it did empty the iPhone's calendar, which is what I wanted. But it didn't do that for the Contacts -- I turned that setting off but I was not asked if I wanted to keep or toss the Contacts. They are all still on the phone.)
This is an OG iPhone, if that matters.

Brilliant! That worked like a charm.
I created a new User Account on one of my Macs and logged into it. I connected my iPhone to its iTunes and checked my iPhone's Sync Contacts option in iTunes. Since that account's address book was basically empty (two dummy contacts, one for Apple and one for this new user), I ended up with only those two Contacts on the phone. Then, going back to my real User account (which does not have syncing turned on in iTunes) the phone synced nicely with the MobileMe account and populated the phone with all the MobileMe contacts and groups.

How can I add a contact to a group on my iPhone?

How do I add a contact to an existing group on my iPhone?

Should not be a problem. If you have set up your
groups in Address Book, they will sync over to your
iPhone. If you view All Contacts, you should have a
tab in the upper left corner which shows Groups. You
hit that, it takes you back to your Group List. Pick
the Group you want to view and this takes you to a
list of contacts within that group. Then in the
upper right corner hit the + key and add your
contact. When you sync back up, your contact should
appear in your Address Book under all Contacts and
under the assigned group.
Hope this helps.

This only solves half the problem. If you have created a NEW contact from a Google Map lookup, you cannot assign it to a group on the iPhone. You have to wait until you sync back up with Address Book, assign that contact to a group, then sync again. I have pulled a lot of new contacts through the Google Map function (which is amazing BTW) but I have yet to find a way to assign the new contact to a group. Any ideas?

How am I supposed to use my created iCloud contact group on my iPhone?

I followed the instructions & 'help notes' on creating a contact group by logging into my iCloud account. Now on my iPhone I can see the group when I go to Contacts & click on the upper left hand "Groups" button, but that screen only lists which list of contacts I've got synced with my iCloud. Unless I'm missing something, I do not see how I'm supposed to actually use/implement my new "group." I was hoping to be able to create a new text & type in the name of my group & send, or have an option to choose from a group list to use as my recipients, but instead nothing.
Am I completely missing the point of grouping contacts on the iPhone???

About all you can do is when addressing the email, tap the "+", navigate to your groups, uncheck all groups but the group you want to send the email to and tap Done, then tap each member one at a time to add them to the list of recipients.
Otherwise you can use an app that will allow you to select an entire group at onece (such as Speed Names).
