How do you create a group contact

How do you create a group contact? I set up icloud, but that only shows individual names. I do not want to update to ios 8.0.2 yet as it is very buggy. Any ways on how I could send this? (This is for the mail app, not SMS)

Hi benpete420,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you would like to create a contact group, you can do so on iCloud.com or using the Contacts app on Mac OS X.
Once the group is created, it will be synced to your iPad as well.
You can find the instructions for creating groups at these links:
iCloud: Create a group and add contacts to it
Contacts (Mavericks): Group contacts
All the best,
Jeremy

  • How do i create a group contact on iphone4

    Hi, how do I create a group contact on the iPhone 4 when sending group text and group emails? 

    Hi
    600 for my work
    Note that many email providers place limits on how many people you can address with a single email. 100 contacts is a typical limit (for iCloud.com, Gmail.com etc.) In that case no app will let you send a single email to that many contacts at once, and you should consider an online service such as mailchimp.com
    If your groups are less than 100, or your provider does not impose a limit, I'd like to suggest our "MailShot Pro" app, which has been one of the top-selling group email apps for over a year. Unlike most other group email apps, it creates special contacts for your groups which you can then use directly from Mail, and tens of thousands of other compatible apps. Over 250,000 people are now using it, and it is always ranked highly in search results for group email apps.
    You can find it on the App Store here:MailShot Pro
    A free version is also available, for creating a few small groups. MailShot (Note that certain other apps marketed as "free" will similarly only let you send to small groups without an upgrade)

  • How do I create a group contact list for emails?

    I can open an new email contact for a single person, but how do I create a group contact list?

    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Create_Mailing_List
    In Address Book, File/New/Mailing List, name the list and close it, then add contacts to the list by dragging them from an address book and dropping onto the list icon in the directory (left) pane.

  • How do you create new groups within Contacts on the iPad?

    Can you create new groups within Contacts directly from the iPad, iPhone,or do you have to do it on the computer first?

    The easiest way is to get the app called group e mail.  There are a couple of others as well.  There is a way to do it on your computer, and sync it, but I find that personally frustrating.  :).  Save yourself the aggrevation, and get the app, that works pretty well.

  • How could you create 'Last Time Contacted' Smart Mailbox in Mail app Lion?

    Hello!
    For the purposes of maintaining regular contact with a large group of contacts in your address book:
    How could you create a smart mailbox in the Mail App (Lion) which contained that last unique sent/received email from each individual contact?
    So ideally just the last email per contact. For my purposes I would then sort by date and find the contacts I havent emailed in a while and re-initiate conversation.
    I also thought that perhaps it would be possible through Automator? (I am not very familiar with how to use this app)
    Any ideas/solutions would be very appreciated!

    Okay, I think I just discoverd a workaround. This will work if you're lucky enough to already have a smart-mailbox folder that persists after close. (Somehow I had two such folders that already existed and weren't subject to the mysterious disappearances on closing the app; perhaps I created them in a previous OS X release?) Anyway, here goes:
    Locate an already existing smart mailbox folder that's working properly. Select the folder (in the sidebar).
    Duplicate that folder using the "Duplicate Smart Mailbox" Command. (It's on the contextual pop-up menu or available via the gear icon in the lower left of the window). This should produce and exact copy of the folder and the boxes inside, appearing at the bottom of the smart mailbox list.
    Edit the duplicate folder to put the smart mailboxes you want in it, and delete the previous mailboxes (duplicates) that you don't want.
    The new folder structure should now persist between launches of the app.
    There you go. Not the most elegant process, but workable. Don't know if there's a method if you don't have at least one smart mailbox folder already though.

  • How do I create a group contact list in Mail???

    I have 20 parents on my son's hockey team that I need to send emails to and want to create a contact list so I don't have to put in individual emails every time. Comments please. Thanks..
    Rob

    I wish everyone would be forced to learn how to create BCC groups!!!
    I have 'friends' and family that have been using email and computers for 20 yrs that resist so I had to stop asking "don't put my email address out there in TO: for everyone, and use a BCCs!"
    And afterall, it is EASY / easier and that way you can keep a group informed about updates in lives of everyone.
    There is also a setting in Facebook for Secret that only a group can see, so you can also have private group communications. Yes, I have my doubts, some days I think NSA invented Facebook/Twitter to lull people into turning over the keys to the car and make their work easier.

  • HT2486 How do you create a group on the iPad or iphone

    I'd like to know how to create a group in contacts in Address Book on the iPad or iPhone.

    I just tried this method and it works. I'm also looking into creating groups using iCloud, but haven't really read into it yet.
    1) go to your Contacts App. Select "All Contacts", or whatever area you want to include your new group.
    2) touch the + sign at the bottom which will add in a new contact. Yes, you're right, this is NOT a group contact, but an individual one.
    3) In the "First" name field, add in the name of the group. You can ignore Last name and/or company if you want, or add in more info.
    4) add your string of email names in the "email" field. I believe the default just says Home.
    voila.
    I recommend that you first make the string of names in another text app, such as notes first as I accidentally touched the little 'x' mark on the far right side which deleted my progress...argh. Or, if you have a lot of addressses to add, you might want to do it on your computer first, and then just email the list to yourself. I'm sure there are easier ways, but this is a quick and easy way, especially if your email group isn't large.

  • How do I create a group distribution email list with my contacts?

    I have many contacts and need to create email distribution lists with my contacts. It is too difficult to choose each contact with every email. How do I create a group contact list with my contacts on iCloud?

    Hello there, swcoxdpm.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides information on creating Group Contacts in Mavericks on your Macbook Air:

  • How do I create a group list for email contacts with the I pad ?

    How do I create a group contacts with the iPad ?

    If you set up groups in iCloud, a contact can also belong to multiple groups. And no work around or mispurposing of a field needed. You can also filter a group without using the search function. Plus, your contacts are backed and available via another avenue if needed.
    Not questioning your solution - I'm sure it works - but the functionality exists within the design.
