Groups in Contacts Gone?

I started out with firmware 1.1.1 and my contacts app had an option to put my contacts into groups. I updated to 1.1.2 and then 1.1.3 without playing with contacts too much. Somewhere along the way, the groups option disappeared. I put the iPod Touch into recovery mode and tried firmware 1.1.1 through 1.1.3 again, but groups is not available. All of the firmware downloads were obtained directly from Apple.
Has anyone else had this issue or know of a solution?
Thanks,
Mick

So in itunes when you plug in your ipod and go to the info tab you have the groups checked that you want to sync? If so have you tried using the advanced option at the bottom of that screen "Replace information on this ipod" and checked contacts. Then resync.

  • All contacts gone after phone software update by O...

    Here's another one for you: after performing a software update from within Ovi Suite with automatic backup before and restoration afterwards, the following is missing from my C3-01 phone: 1. All contacts are gone (yikes!); 2. The main view settings are back to default, not what I selected. Fortunately I was able to restore the contacts from a previous backup so BEWARE: before updating, make sure you have a separate manual backup since the automatic restoration performed by the Ovi Suite does NOT deliver.

    Furthermore, the selected group tones are gone and all back to Default. It appears these are not part of a backup...

  • Reinstallation for IOS skype. problems with groups and contacts

    I was having a problem with Skype on my Iphone; new messages wouldn't load, and if they did it was around 10 minutes after they sent them. So I uninstalled the app and then reinstalled it. As soon as I logged into my account I realized most of my contacts didn't have a profile picture, nor did it have our conversations. It also got rid of all my skype groups; I still got notifications for those groups, but if I clicked on them it would bring me to a page saying that it's an empty group. Also if I get on skype on my laptop everything is fine, I still have my groups, my contacts all have pictures and our conversations are still there. I tried to reinstall it on my phone again, but this time all my groups were still gone, but different contacts wern't complete. Because I still had the contacts I tried to send a message on of my contacts that didn't have a profile picture and although it said it sent, I never got a reply. So I got on my laptop and asked if he got it, and he said he didn't.  Is anyone else haing this problem? If so do you know how to fix it? Thank you

    Ok I just talked to support via chat and apparently this is a known iPhone mobile App issue.  This is exactly what he said to me: "I was informed that this issue already have a ticket to our engineers and they are already working on this one. This has something to do with the latest version of Skype for tablets and mobiles.  We may release another version of Skype app so once an update is avaialble, update the app on your phone ASAP." Hope this ease some frustration.

  • How do I restore Groups to Contacts from time machine?

    How do I restore groups to Contacts using time machine?  I somehow managed to duplicate many groups and contacts in Contacts, so I deleted everything and tried to restore them using time machine backup  from a few days before.  It restored all my contacts, but none of my groups.  If you select a group and click restore it will restore all the contacts in the group, but not the group itself.  I had many groups with many contacts in each and would really prefer not to do this manually.  I can see the groups in the time machine backup, but cannot figure out how to restore them.  I know from researching online that with Address Books and previous operating systems you could go to ~Library/Applications Support/AddressBook  and restore the whole file, but either this operating systems hides the necessary files or Contacts is set up differently than AddressBook was.  I am using OS 10.9.5 and Contacts version 8.0 on a MacbookPro 13 inch mid 2010.

    Here is what I have tried:
    1. Finder>Go>(Option)Library>Address Book(highlighted)with files showing in right column. Opened Time Machine and Address Book folder is there. Tried to go back to several previous dates from several months ago. None will highlight in order for the Restore button to light up.
    2. Finder>Mac HD (under Devices)>(Option)Library>Address Book (same as above). Again, cannot go anywhere back in time to highlight a date for Restore button to light up.
    Note: I was able to use Time Machine to restore my Contacts with no problem. However, they are All Contacts only and did not restore my Groups. I do know how to make groups again and highlight and drag them back, but wanted to see if there was a way to restore the groups. I will post another question as to why my Time Machine won't let me restore the Address Book as well as the Contacts. Thank you for your time and patience.

  • How do i send an e-mail to a pre set group of contacts?

    Hi
    Before Yosemite, I used to be able to compose a new message and then click and drag the group of contacts to the 'to' box...  Now I can't do this.. I have to open up the separate 'Contacts' app and drag the group from there.
    Is there a way I can do this directly from mail (v 8.2)
    thanks!
    Goldie

    Hi
    thanks for the fast reply!
    I tried this just now and it kind of works... in that it seems to list a number of variations of the named group... some of which have contacts in them, some not...
    for example... I have a group called "Nursery workers" and when I start typing this in, the drop box lists <nursery workers> - - nursery list - - nursery workers
    Only one of these has the contacts in it.  Is there any way of eliminating it bringing up a load of what seems to be empty lists?  I only have one group of nursery people.

  • How to create a group in contacts

    How can i create a group in contacts on ipad1
    How to a link a contact to a group

    You have to use a 3rd party app to do this.  Several are available, including ABContacts and Speed Names.  For texting, these don't support iMessage but you can always start a group message to a set of contacts on your phone and then save to conversation to send a future message to the same list of contacts.

  • How to create a group of contact from a multi-selection of mails in a mailbox to answer to all senders?

    How to create a group of contact from a multi-selection of mails in a mailbox to answer to all senders?

    Use Mail Scripts. Its Add Addresses function will collect all the addresses from all selected messages and allow you to select the ones you want to add and allow you to create groups as you go.

  • In address book on BB i don't view contacts in a group of contacts

    I've this problem:
    In my address book on the BB, i don't view contacts in a group of contacts.
    I've added a group of contact in Outlook 2007 with two contacts inside. On the BB i've seen the group of contact but no the contacts inside. I have a BES server 5.0.3 with Exchange 2007.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks.
    Ema.

    The issue has nothing to do with your MacBook Pro. You are using a different version of OS X.
    If you are using Apple's Mail application, it will search both previous contacts and the address book as you type the send address.

  • How can I view or sort or group my CONTACT GROUPS together in Outlook 2010?

    How can I view (in my contacts list or address book) or sort/group my CONTACT GROUPS together in Outlook 2010, separately from the individual contacts?

    In the Contact folder, use a custom view that shows only Contact groups.  Create the filter on the filter dialog's Advanced tab -
    Message Class contains IPM.DistList

    Try going to file-devices-restore from backup, if you dont have a backup then you may redownload past purchases (movies, music, apps, etc) from their respective stores by visiting "purchased" section.

  • How do I create a group in contacts for texting?

    How do I create a group in contacts for texting to several people?

    Create your group on your computer, and sync it on your iPhone. But you cannot use this group for texting. You need an application for this. Easy Group is a free one I have developped.

  • Im trying to drag and drop a email group from contacts to a new email message. But it will not let me in OS X Mavericks. Before I upgraded I could do this.

    Im trying to drag and drop a email group from contacts to a new email message. But it will not let me in OS X Mavericks. Before I upgraded I could do this.

    I just posted this fix to another thread and thought it might be useful to post to all of the threads I read trying to fix the problem. Here it is:
    Having the same issue over here with Mavericks 10.9.1 on a new Macbook Pro/Retina. Just now found a workaround/fix/whatever:
    - click on your group in the group pane of the address panel
    - click anywhere in the name pane and select all (command + a)
    - click the "To:" or "Cc:" or "Bcc:" tab right above the group pane at the top of the address panel window.
    The names of all of the individuals in the group will appear as an expanded list in whatever field you clicked. It takes a second or two to happen.

  • Is it possible to export a Group from Contacts to a spreadsheet? I have Version 8.0 (1371.2) on my Mac

    How can I export a Group in Contacts to an Excel spreadsheet ? I've tried to follow the instructions but am going in circles:  I opened the Group, then 'selected" all contacts in the Group, then chose File>Export>Export vCard. Saved it to Desktop, but when I open the file from desktop, it appears that I'm Importing them to Contacts.... I just want a spreadsheet that I can import into Constant Contact.

    It's not possible.

  • Applescript to Add Same Photo to a Group of Contacts

    Can anyone please help with an Applescript to add an image to a group of contacts in one foul swoop.
    My intention is to add a logo image to a group of colleagues.
    Here is what I have so far, - but receive this error
    tell application "Address Book"
    set the_people to every person in group "Pilots"
    repeat with this_person in the_people
    set pict_file to choose file of type "TIFF" with prompt "Choose a tiff file"
    open for access pict_file
    close access pict_file
    set image of person to pict_file
    try
    end try
    end repeat
    end tell
    The error I receive is
    error "Can’t set «class az50» of «class azf4» to alias \"Macintosh HD:Users:Steven:Desktop: Pilot2.tiff\"." number -10006 from «class az50» of «class azf4»
    I would like to reference the image file to the script and not have to reselect it for every record.
    Thanks in Advance.

    You might have a look at [this article|http://smithsrus.com/setting-an-address-book-picture-with-applescript> and try this:
    *set pict_file to choose file of type {"public.tiff"} with prompt "Choose a TIFF file"*
    *open for access pict_file*
    *set pict_data to read pict_file as "TIFF"*
    *close access pict_file*
    *tell application "Address Book"*
    *set the_people to every person in group "Pilots"*
    *repeat with this_person in the_people*
    *set image of this_person to pict_data*
    *end repeat*
    *end tell*
