How do I find my Contact Groups in iPhone 3G (v2.0)?

My Contacts are setup in Entourage on my Macbook & they auto-sync with Address Book which has all the contacts setup in Groups. iTunes successfully synched all my contacts across to my new iPhone 3G (I'm not using the iPhone for email yet - haven't set it up). When I go into Contacts, I can't see any buttons/options/anything that lets me see any groups + there's no group info showing within any individual contacts. In iTunes, when I sync, the Info tab lets me "Sync Address Book contacts' but only "All contacts" - the "Selected groups' radio button is greyed out (I can't select it) as is the checkbox for "Put new contacts created on this iPhone into the group". I don't know whether this is just a 'feature' here in Australia, but it seems odd. Am I doing something wrong or missing something here? It'd be really gr8 to get iPhone to recognise my contact groups. Any help appreciated thx.

Well blow me down & keelhaul me! I've solved my own problem. The issue appears to be that Apple won't sync Smart Groups from Address Book to the iPhone. I created a test group with a few dud contacts in Address Book; iTunes sync'ed then OK & as soon as I went into Contacts on iPhone, there suddenly was the Groups button appearing with 2 Groups - my Test Group + all Other contacts. Nice one apple - another undocumented feature! Looks like I have to do away with the Smart Groups feature & convert them all to normal Groups in Address book - bugga!

  • 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.

  • HT1338 How do I create seperate contact groups (family, business, friends) in my Contacts application on my Macbook Pro?

    How do I create seperate contact groups (family, business, friends) in my Contacts application on my Macbook Pro?

    You should have an option to create groups in the File menu. To add contacts to this group, simply drag and drop them to it (switch to Groups display, to view all your groups).
    Otherwise, you may create "smart groups", based on some criteria you define (File menu too).
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I create a contact group on iOS 8

    How do I create a contact group on iOS 8, I'm trying to make a new new group for my iphone 6. I've made a group on my older IOS but it's changed on the new IOS 8.

    You cannot create a contact group in the built in Contacts app. If your contacts sync with iCloud you can log in to https://icloud.com and manage contact groups there. Or with a contact app on your computer that syncs with iCloud. Alternatively, there are several iPhone apps that are more powerful than the built in Contacts app. You can use one of them to manage groups and contacts within groups. I use Speed Names, but there are several others.

  • How can I find my contacts in itunes again without my iphone

    My Iphones was damaged and I brought it to my mobile provider. I did a backup yesterday. But my problem is that I dont know how I can find my contacts in itunes. I need my contact because they are not at my simcard.

    You don't need to worry about the folders.
    Your backup from iphone 5 will be completely seprate and your iphone 3gs backup would be safe as well.
    Yes you can sync both phones in itunes and even connect them at the same time to sync.
    Hope this solves your query

  • How to export ALL my contact groups ( 20) from Outlook 2010 on one machine to Outlook 2010 on two other machines

     My problem is how to export ALL my contact groups (>20) from Outlook 2010 on one machine (finally established with great pains from a more user-friendly client) to Outlook 2010 on two other computers.  All the help files I've seen refer to
    export/import of only a single Group. 
     Outlook seems to be an extraordinarily limited and user-hostile environment for managing an address book.  By way of comparison, the Mulberry client I've been using for years (which is no longer supported) run circles around Outlook for ease of
    handling -- everything in the address book, groups and individual, can be exported and imported in a single file.  My computer support staff have warned me about the difficulties of handling groups in Outlook.  Is Microsoft really that incompetent,
    or just sadistic ?
    Thanks for your help with this.

    After a lot of screwing around I finally hit on a solution, which is to export and import contacts using a .pst file (which transfers both individuals and groups) rather than a .csv file -- which transfers only individual contacts but leaves groups untouched.
    Why isn't there a clear and simple message from Microsoft saying this in all the so-called Help files on moving contacts in Outlook?

  • How do I delete all contacts in my iphone?

    After trying to sync my secondary iphone with icloud I find that I have an enormorse amount of duplications.  I would like to delete all contacts from the iphone and sync with what I have on my mac.  I would prefer not to do a complete reset on the iphone for this will also create a lot of work.  Does anyone have any thought as to how I might accopmlish this?

    I believe scottishroyalty is mistaken.  As far as I know there are no contacts stored within iTunes.  He must mean that he deleted duplicate contacts within the Contacts app on his computer.
    The issue I have with sberman's solution is that after using that method to delete all contacts on your iPhone, when you turn the Contacts switch back to "ON" in your phone's iCloud settings all the old contacts are put back on your phone and you're right back where you started.
    I posted a very detailed account of my issue here:

    If anyone knows how to delete old/unwated contacts from your iPhone and from iCloud and have them remain deleted, yet continue to have iCloud sync with the iPhone, please follow the above link and let me know. 
    Thanks for any help!

  • How could I export my contacts on my iPhone to my iCloud account ?

    How could I export my contacts on my iPhone to my iCloud account ?
    Because I want to manage (group) my contacts and then import my contacts into my iPhone again.
    Furthermore , I want to export my contacts to MicroSoft Outlook 2010.

    I think you have a couple of options.  You can bluetooth it or export from an account.
    Here is a link that may help you.  I think your phone has its own tutorial section on Verizon Support Knowledge Base.
    Try here
    http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/42651/
    Some advice is to save those contacts to a gmail account instead to the Backup Assistant account.  I read some other users were having problems with the Backup Assistant account deleting all contacts on their phone.

  • How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4.  The car manual says to consult the phone's bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have one.

    How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4?  The car manual says to consult the phone's Bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have a manual for that.

    That is very strange... I wonder if it has something to do with the firmware or some sort of error. I haven't ran into this but at the shop I work at I've ran into several firmware errors on iPhone 4 all the way through the 5s. Maybe its something as simple as putting a different part of the code into iTunes... I know you can something of this extent. I would look up error 1669, I know you have tried a number of things but look it up on the forum and see what fixes are available so that you may be able to restore it properly without all this garbage you are running into. Just a thought for you.
