How do I move a contact from group A to group B

How can I move or manage my contacts between multiple groups

Hello Buzzbeer2,
It sounds like you would like to move a contact from one group to another.  You can do this by dragging the contact from one group to the other and then deleting the contact from the original group. 
Use the steps below to achieve this:
Add contacts to a group
Click All Contacts.
Drag one or more contacts from the All Contacts list to another group on the left.
You can add a contact to more than one group.
To select several adjacent contacts, click the first one, then Shift-click the last one. To select multiple nonadjacent contacts, Command-click them on a Mac or Control-click them on a Windows computer.
iCloud: Create a group and add contacts to it

Step 1 above says to select All Contacts, but you can also drag a contact from another group.  Once you have added the contact to the appropriate group, you can remove it from the previous group by following these steps:
Remove a contact from a group
Select the group the contact belongs to.  If you don’t see your groups, click the Groups button.
Choose Edit > Remove From Group.  The contact is removed from the group but stays in Contacts.
Contacts: Edit or delete contacts and groups

  • How do I move a contact from one group to another?

    On my device, or in iCloud on the web, how do I move a contact from one group to another.  This should be as easy as it is with calender items, but the only solution I've found is to change your default contact group, and email the contact to yourself.  Then tap the contact, and add it to your contact list.  You can then delete the original.  Is there an easier way???

  • I have updated from IPhone 4 to IPhone4S - how can I move my contacts from one to another?

    I have updated from IPhone 4 to Iphone 4S - how can I move my contacts from previous phone to IPhone 4S?

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer, which is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Sync your iPhone 4S with the same address book app on your computer as you were syncing the iPhone 4 with.

  • How do i move my contacts from iCloud to mac book air

    how do i move my contacts from iCloud to mac book air

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    All you need to do is enable contacts in system preferences > iCloud on your Mac. Once you do this a sync will commence and your contacts application will be populated with your contacts from iCloud.

  • In contacts app how can I move a contact from one group to another group?

    I find I cannot move a contact from one group to another group. If I delete a contact from one group I delete that contact from my total contact population. I did not have this problem in earlier IOS versions. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks SO much, Barney.  How embarrassing, I could have sworn that I tried that first.
    I will definitely get them all moved over before I delete that account and I've already gone in & changed my preferences.  Several years ago, my husband I decided to share one calendar and one contacts list, using his mobile me account and it's been great for us.  I'm particularly thrilled to no longer serve as a human rolodex and I guess that I paniced a bit when I thought there might be a problem with our system.  I'm still confused where that "On my mac" account came from on the first place.  Do you suppose that was an automatic thing that came with the Mountain Lion upgrade?
    thanks again!

  • In contacts, how can I move a contact from one account to another?

    My husband and I have (happily) shared contacts for years and all of a sudden we realized that some contacts would show up on one of my devices, but not on his.  After looking at the issue more closely, we realized that I somehow now have (and do NOT want) an additional contacts account called "on my Mac" that has been inadvertently populated with 22 contacts.
    1)  How can I move those to our shared account?
             When that is complete,
    2)  How can I delete the account called "On my mac"?
    Thanks!

  • How do I move my contacts from Yahoo to my iCloud on my 4s?

    I transferred all of my contacts onto yahoo from my old phone as this was the only way I could then move them to my 4s.
    I was wondering how I could move them onto my iCloud aswell as my iPhone and then delete my Yahoo account, so everything is only backed up there?
    I've looked all over google and can't find anything specific enough to find a resolution.
    Thankyou for your help.

    The depending on how many contacts you have, you may have to email them to your self and upload them using drag and drop one at a time.  You do this by opening the contact on your phone, tap Share a Contact on bottom right, tap Email, send to your self, drag and drop attachment to icloud.com contacts as before.  It shouldn't have any problem importing individual contacts in this way.  If you have lots of them, the you may have to consider purchasing 3rd party software such as Touch Copy which can access the contacts on your phone directly, allowing you to drag and drop them as individual vCards to a desktop folder all at once, where in turn you can drag and drop them to icloud.com all at once.

  • How do I move my contacts from TimeMachine to my new Mac?

    Hi all. My old MBP was one with a faulty nvidia graphics card, and it conveniently went out 22 days after the warranty was void, so I've since bought a new MBA currently running 10.7.2. I have a few contacts on my TimeMachine backup from my old MBP that I'll never get again in my entire life if I can't move them over from my external hard drive. Is there a way to do it? I don't particularly want to restore my old machine on the new one—only the contacts from AddressBook. Can it be done? Help!
    -stewart

    Normal files are relatively easy, via the Browse Other Backup disks option, but this is a tough one. 
    AddressBook contacts are, well, weird.  The way they're stored makes it very difficult to find them; and you can't use the browse option with the special handler for Address Book contacts.
    They're stored in the <your home folder>/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder.  Each contact is a separate file inside the Metadata folder there, but you can't tell which one is which, since they're named with UUIDs that look like gibberish, not anything recognizable to us mere mortals.
    Here's what I'd suggest:
    Use the Migration Assistant app to transfer part of the user account from the old Mac's backups (temporarily).
    For details, see Using Migration Assistant on Lion. If that user account has the same as an existing one on your new Mac, rename it, per the last sample in the pink Migrating User Accounts box. 
    Select only the user account that has the contacts, and exclude all its sub-folders.  That will transfer everything in the Library sub-folder, including, of course, all the contacts.
    Log on to the transferred account.  Start the AddressBook app and locate the contacts you want. 
    For each one, select the contact, then File > Export > Export vCard from the menubar.  Select a destination (such as the default of the special Shared user account) for the contact. 
    Log on to the account where you want the contacts and start AddressBook.  Click File > Import from the menubar.  That should default to the Shared user account; select all the contacts and click the Open button to import them.
    When done, delete them from the Shared user account, and delete the temporary user account.

  • How can I move the contacts from my Samsung flip phone to my iphone 5S?

    I have a new iphone 5S to replace my iphone 4.  Due to a long story I can't back up my contacts from icloud or iTunes.  Is there a way that I can back up the contacts on my Samsung flip phone to the 5S?

    See if your carrier can do it for you. They often have machines (one of the brand names is Cellbrite) that you can hook the phones to and it will copy contacts from one to another.
