Group names and content from Apple Address Book not syncing to iphone

My contact from Apple Address Book Syncs, but no group names get down loaded. Clicking The "group" icon in the iphone status bar bring up an empty page from which I cannot recover back to all contacts without restarting the device. In Essence the contact app is stuck in a blank group page.

I also have this issue. My contacts sync fine from the computer to Mobileme, but the groups don't sync to the iphone. This leaves me with an empty "Groups" window as described by eltons. If I sync through itunes, with Mobileme contacts sync off on the iphone, the groups show up.
Any ideas? Is this consistent with the original post?

  • Subscribed address book not synced to iPhone

    I shared my address book with my wife, and she subscribes to it. Unfortunately, the shared contacts do not make it to her iPhone during a sync. Any Ideas why?
    Also, what's the difference between subscribing to a mac address book and syncing using mobileme?
    Thanks!

  • Macbook Air with Mac OS X Address book not syncing with iPhone 5s completely

    I have just started ICloud syncing of my macbook air address book and my iphone. Some seemingly random contacts are not being transferred down to the iphone. I can't figure this out. How do you make this work correctly?

    First of all, your post title refers to an iPhone 5S.  There is no such device being sold by Apple.
    Aside from that, it sounds like your contacts are in more than one account on your Mac.  In Contacts on your Mac, you might try clicking the button closest to the plus side in the lower left of the display to hopefully show your various accounts.  You might also check Contacts > Preferences > Accounts.

  • HT201412 what do you do when your phone numbers no longer have the contact persons name just a number. Also names are missing from the address  book where contacts are.

    what do you do when your phone numbers no longer have the contact persons name just a number. Also names are missing from the address  book where contacts are.

    I, too, love everything about my phone. The other day I tried to crash my Z10 by running multiple apps and having videos running in the background. Do you think my Z10 showed any signs of slowing down? Nothing doing! It ran as smooth as silk. I'm very impressed.
    Cheers.

    How do you transfer contacts from apple address book ot I-Pad?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I assume you are trying to syjnc via IiCloud. Do you have contact syncing enabled in the settings on both devices.

  • "Smart Groups" in Address Book not syncing to the iPhone

    "Smart Groups" in Address Book not syncing to the iPhone
    Normal Groups sync but smart groups do not.
    Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix?
    Thanks.

    This same concept applies to syncing two macs via .Mac
    The method I use for iPhone is this.
    Define your smart group as needed.
    Define a read group with a similar or convenient name.
    From time to time drag your whole smart group to the real group.
    The real group is the one that then syncs to your iPhone.
    As a safety factor, I usually clear all entries from my real group before I drag over the updated smart group.
    Anyway, this is simple and works well.
    Hope that helps.

  • Why does my address book not sync to iCloud?

    Why does my address book not sync to iCloud?

    I believe the duplicate address book accounts stems from the move from MobileMe to iCloud and both accounts still being active.
    This is how I merged the two address books:
    1) To make sure all the contacts are in both:
    a) I selected On My Mac account - clicked on any address - Command A to select all - drag the contacts to the iCloud account - answered OK to merge and resolve duplicates.
    b) same in reverse: select the iCloud account - click on an address - click Command A to select all - drag the contacts to the On My Mac account - answer OK to merge and resolve duplicates.
    In system preferences I found an iCloud icon and also a MobileMe icon. I was logged in under both.
    1)  In the Address Book preferences I selected iCloud and unchecked Enable this account.
    2)  In the Address Book I selected iCloud and clicked on the minus “-” to remove that account – leaving only the local Mac address book.
    3)  I went into system preferences and logged out of MobileMe
    4)  In system preferences I opened iCloud and the “Contacts” was not selected (from above) and I selected it.
    I got a dialog box asking if I wanted to merge the iCloud contact with the local contacts – clicked YES.
    … spinning wheel for a minute … voila – only one address book account – iCloud with syncing to iCloud and my iPhone.

  • Batch Remove emails from Apple Address Book

    Hi everyone,
    I have a csv file contained all the email addresses that were bounced, all originating from my Address Book. This bounce file was obtained using another software (Email Bounce Handler by Maxprog).
    I was now wondering if there was any way to automatize the removal of these email addresses from my Address Book, with an Apple script or any kind of extension.
    Thanks in advance for your attention and your help.
    Cheers,
    Colin

    Oops -- I just had to turn iCloud on in the System settings on the iPhone, then the Contacts synched.

  • Contacts not synching from Apple Address Book to iPhone

    I updated to iTunes 10.6.3 on MacOS 10.8.1 and my Contacts no longer synch.
    In fact, on the iTunes Info page, the groups don't even display when Synch Contacts and All Contacts are both selected.
    The iPhone has iOS 5.1.1, which is current.
    I checked Software Update. Then I synched with the advanced option to overwrite Contacts on the iPhone with the Apple Address Book on my iMac. No luck.
    Then I searched online and didn't find anything on point, so I came here to share this issue in the hopes that you have some inights and ideas to fix this problem.
    Any suggestions?
    BTW, this clears Contacts on the iPhone.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Custom image from Address book not syncing to Exchange.

    I am running Mac OS X v 10.7.5. I have added custom images to contacts in address book. I have an Exchange account which will sync the data (ie name, address, email) but not the custom image. Is there away to have custom images sync to Exchange/Outlook?

    I'm Running Mac OS X Lion, and have seen that changes made in the mac address book do not sync to gmail contacts but changes to gmail contacts do sync to the mac address book.
    Making a change to a contact on my phone does sync to gmail contacts, and then to the mac address book.
    Another test I ran was to change the same contact in gmail and mac address book.  I made a change to a mobile number and notes in one contact on my mac address book, attempted to sync, and the change does not appear in my gmail contacts.  I tried multiple times, restarted my web browser, restarted mac address book, the sync would not work.  I changed the same contact mobile number in gmail with a slightly different change to the notes field so I could see when an update occurred, and when I told mac address book to sync it recognized a conflict. When I select the mac address book change to resolve the conflict, the gmail contact is not updated.  When I repeated the experiment and selected the gmail contact to resolve the conflict the change is made in the mac address book.

  • Can't sync Address Book note field to iPhone contacts

    Hi:
    I make heavy use of the "note:" field in my MacBook Address Book app. I store all kinds of detailed info about people, organizations, etc. in that field. I would like to be able to access that information on my iPhone 3G, but the phone's Contacts app has no corresponding "note" field.
    Could this be a result of the way I imported data into my MacBook when I first got it?
    In searching the fora, I found several people who said their iPhone contacts sync nicely with the Address Book note, and others who say it doesn't sync at all. Can anyone please shed some light on this for me?
    Thanks!

    Not quite sure what you mean by "editing" but I've tried every method of selecting, deleting, cursor placement, backspacing, and typing I can think of -- again, with and without the Edit button clicked. I did seem to accumulate a huge number of duplicates along the way, and there were more than a thousand cards in my Address Book; maybe I went over the limit?

  • Address Book not syncing with Google Apps

    so i thought this will be resolved after reinstalling 10.5.7 (i tried a lot of tweaks in the earlier installation to make this work) but it seems that even with a clean install it wouldnt work.
    address book authenticates with google but no updates are being sent or recieved.
    did anyone manage to get this working ? i have a feeling its not out of the box...

    Hi guys,
    I have a similiar problem. My address booked has synced correctly with google contacts since 2 years
    And suddenly it stopped syncing. Furthermore when I go to settings/acconts  I still find
    my "Local" account where i configured my google account, but now the right window is empty.
    There is no button to edit or show this account !!
    (I mentioned this after update to 10.6.8, but I'm not sure if it worked shortly before doing the update)
    What could be wrong ?
    Regards jb0815
