How do I select a Contacts group in iCloud

I don't want my Mac's list of All Contacts on my portable devices. iTunes let's me synch a selected group of contacts. Can I do this in iCloud? Also, now that iCloud has pushed All Contacts onto my iPhone, how do I remove it from both places (iCloud & my iPhone)?

How to sync Outlook 2010 Contact Groups to my iPad and iPhone

I am trying to figure out how to sync my Outlook 2010 contact groups to my iPad and iPhone. Also how do you manage the groups once on the device? Seems they can only be selected and not edited. I can get my Good contact group and my Windows Contacts contact group to sync but not my Outlook 2010 groups. Any ideas?

Mac solution. No idea if works on PC:
Work Around:
On your mac:
1. Open a new email
2. Insert name of an existing group into one of the "To" fields as usual.
3. Highlight all the resulting names in the "To" entry
     [Highlight first name, and while holding shift, highlight last name and all will highlight[]
4. Copy (Command C) the highlighted emails
5. Paste (Command V) nto a pages document
6. Remove the name and anything else preceeding the first < and also the first < of only the first entry whixh will look like this:
     [email protected]>,
7. Remove the > of the last email which will look like this:
     , Jane Doe <[email protected]
8. Copy the entire altered list from the pages document
9, Go to Contact Book and click + to add a new entry
10.. Name the entry (XXX Group for iPad) or whatever you wish to call it
11. Paste all the copied altered list into any one of the email entry spaces
12. Click on "Done"
13. Create new email On iPad and click on + in any one of the "To" lines and search for "XXX Group for iPad" You cannot just key in XXX Group for iPad!!!!!!!, you must use + contact search.
14. Enter the selected iPad contact group into the "To" line.
15. All the entries will now appear in the "To" line and you are good to go.
Adding or deleting email addresses from the iPad group:
Easiest: Alter the original mac group in the usual way and repeat steps 1-14 above. It seems impossible to edit within the emai line of the iPad contact entry.
Rediculously simple once figured out.
Happy emailling, but please send Bcc so that you don't spread your groups' email addresses all over the internet for spam, viruses, and other unwanted emails. Be considerate and ask your recipients to notifiy you if they wish to be deleted from the lists you compose.

How do I use a Contact Group email address as the sender of an email?

I want members of the contact group to be able to manual select the contact group email address as the SENDER. This, primarily, so that recipient clients can respond, if necessary, by merely pressing reply (then the entire group gets the email).
Possible?

By "contact group" do you mean a distribution group? If so, you need to use one of the following the shell commands:
For Send on Behalf: Set-DistributionGroup <group alias> -GrantSendOnBahalfTo <useralias>
For Send As: Add-AdPermission<group ID>-User<user alias>-ExtendedRights'Send-As'

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 you select multiple contacts for transfer to another. BT device?

I Am trying to send specific contacts to the phone book on a Panasonic 'link to cell' phone. How does one select specific contacts and then send them to the BT paired phone?

Hello Harvey102
The Bluetooth for your iPhone does not connect to a computer and is for headsets and keyboards. If you want to share it with your computer, you would need to set up a sync or you can share the contact by emailing it and then go to the computer and download it to your computer.

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 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 you get a contact group of the cloud???

I made a contact group on icloud.com and then tried to sync it to my contacts so it would update but I can not see the group on my iphone. I tried going to settings and shutting off the contacts and turning it back on and merging but none of that worked. Would love any help. My goal is to be able to text 18 people of a group without typing each name. What am I doing wrong?????????
Thanks.

How do I share several contacts from one iCloud account to another?

How do I share several contacts from one iCloud account to another iCloud account?

Hi charlesfromlymington,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to share a contact. Please use the information in the iOS 8 iPhone User Guide (page 139) for information on this process. When the recipient receives the contact, if iCloud Contacts are enabled, it will be added to their Contacts.
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Share a contact. Tap a contact, then tap Share Contact. See Share from apps on page 35.
Cheers,
Joe

How do I get my contacts from the icloud on pc?

How do I get my contacts from the icloud on pc? I am not able to get my contact on a different phone. I can't even see my contact without iphone.
So tell me from where i'll be able to get my contact or contact backup in pc

If your contacts are in iCloud, you can view them from your PC at icloud.com. You can also download them as a vCard as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606. If your computer meets the system requirements, you can also sign into your iCloud account on your computer and sync the contacts using Outlook (PC) or Address Book/Contacts (Mac), as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.

How to I get my contacts from the iCloud to my new phone

I am having problems with my new iphone5 the lady in the shop saved all my contacts on the iCloud and said I could get them once I have started up my new phone.does anyone know how I can get my contacts from the iCloud to new iPhone. Thanks

It depends on how she saved them on iCloud. Check your contacts on icloud.com from your computer. If they are there, all you need to do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud ID, then turn Contacts to On.
If your contacts aren't on icloud.com, she may have simply backed up your phone to iCloud. If that's the case, you would have to restore the backup to your new phone by going to Settings>General>Reset, tapping Erase All Content and Settings (which will erase the phone), then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup.

How can I change my contact number on iCloud?

I have just purchased a new iPhone 5 and loaded IOS 8 and trying to connect Keychain verification via my Mac Book pro to verify to iCloud ID
I cannot comply because iCloud has a discarded phone number and I see no option on how to correct this
How can I change my contact number on iCloud?

So the question is, what device are you changing it on? Before doing anything, backup all devices, save all photos somewhere on a hard drive and export your contacts and calendar just in case. I am a real beginner here, but I have been dealing with this issue for two weeks so I think I am getting a handle on it. Hopefully someone can give even better advice.
iCloud.com is a slave to whatever account you have setup on your IOS device, so it doesn't care what you sign in as. There is nothing to "change" there, just sign in as whatever Apple ID you have setup on your devices.
I would start on the Macbook. Go under preferences, iCloud, and then sign out of your iCloud account. Sign back in, but enter the new Apple ID that you want to use. This will delete the old account, but give you the option of keeping everything you have in iCloud on your computer. Turn everything on that you want to sync, and you will be back up with iCloud connected to a new AppleID. iCloud.com will now mirror your MacBook.
On the iPhone, go under Settings, and then iCloud, and delete the existing account. You will loose whatever is in the Cloud from your phone, but they should already be back in the cloud from your MacBook fromthe above step, so no worried. Setup a new iCloud account with the Apple ID you used above, and enable the things you want to sync. Everything should be back now and you have the new AppleID associated with your iCloud.
The iPad is the same as the iPhone, delete the old and establish a new iCloud account with the AppleID you used above. You will loose anything that is in the cloud from the iPad but it should repopulate once the new Apple ID is established.

How can I delete my contacts folder in icloud?

How can I delete my contacts folder in icloud so I can start over again?

Got the answer from some other posts - thanks. But now that I have resynced, and if I am backing up to my Mac not the icloud how am I keeping the contacts in icloud current with my Mac and iPhone and Ipad? As soon as I turn contacts to sync on my phone it is turned off in iTunes. Still on Snow Leopard and I think that might be part of the syncing problem
