How do you create groups in Contacts?

Is there a way to create groups in the Contact software on the iPad?

No, and yes.  Groups are created on your computer, and synced to contacts.  You cannot create groups on the pad.  But don't get excited, because when you sync over the groups it is very difficult to get them to do anything.
The good news is that there are a couple of apps that do this pretty well.  I used group email a lot and it works just fine.  There are a couple of others.  Read the reviews.

    If you sync your contacts to your computer you can create the group there. Then when you sync again the group wil appear on your iPhone. But the Mail app and the Messages app cannot use those groups.

  • 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 you create groups in Lion 10.7.4 address book

    Hi
    I managed to write  a few group names in the left column, under All Contact. Now I want to add email addresses  to each group, I know it has to do with
    dragging......
    I did find something by  Getting Technical, and yes, it was technical, however I remember when I had support I called and all you had to do was dragging.
    Thanks,
    dona

    Hi,
    Open Address Book > go to the File Menu and come down to New Group.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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,

  • How do I create groups in Mail and add contacts to that group?

    How do I create groups in Mail and then add contacts to that group?

    Look in Mail > Preferences > Composing tab > If you want all the email addresses to show, check "When sending to a group, show all member addresses".   If unchecked, just the groupname should appear.
    If it still doesn't work then review the email addresses for each of the group members looking for errors in format.
    Also, clean up the list in previous recipients in Mail > Window > Previous Recipients.

    Hello Marie-Annick, the group addresses feature is currently not available ON the device itself.

    In the text messages, touch the name of the person at the blue top > you're taken that contact's Address Book entry > touch the number to call.
    From the Contacts application with a contact open touch and hold the number you wish to call. You'll see entries Call XXX or Text XXX.

  • TS2529 How do you remove group name in contact?

    How do you remove group name in contact?  Iphone not synching new contacts from Outlook to IPhone 4s through Itunes however calander updates fine.  Any ideas why?

    Hey mmoore216,
    Great question! You can disable your Facebook contacts from syncing with your Contacts application in the following location:
    iOS: Using Facebook, Twitter, and other social network accounts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5500
    Sync contacts and calendars
    iOS can sync your Facebook contacts and calendars with your device. This feature is off by default, but you can enable it in Settings > Facebook after adding your account.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

    To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry.  If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

  • HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

    iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.  I've seen reference to the  "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app.  I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for.  I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

  • How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

    How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

    Hi Ed
    Thank you for contacting me, however I already know how to save text to
    audio files via timeline using the Export feature.
    So my question was not entirely clear and I apologize for that.  To explain
    further, whenever I save a text to audio file, captivate takes me to a
    default save as folder where I then have browse back to my production
    folder where I am keeping all my Txt to Aud files.  This is very tedious
    process when you have alot of files to save.  So my question was is there a
    way to configure captivate so I can make my production folder the default
    file for whenever I save a Txt to Audio file through Export feature that
    the system automatically takes me to that production folder, and I am
    spared the long tedious process of saving the file manually to the
    prodcution folder I want.
    I have copy the pathway to the production folder in the URL filed in the
    Save As dialoge box and that workaround as cut the work down but I still
    have to paste that URL field to point the file to the right folder. So it
    would be nice if I could do everything automatically.  Microsoft makes this
    capability in their MS Office applications, so I was thinking Adobe might
    do the same thing.  Your help with this would be appreicated,
    Thanks

  • HT4759 how do you update icloud with contacts transferred to Iphone by verizon

    How do you update icloud with contacts transferred to Iphone by Verizon?  The only contacts that show up in icloud are the ones I entered myself to the phone.

    You'll need to copy them to iCloud in order to see them on your PC.  To do this, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  Use this to backup the remaining contacts on your phone (from Verizon) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the Verizon contacts back to your phone.  They should now be in iCloud, and appear on your PC.  You may see duplicate contacts on your phone because you are still viewing both the contacts from Verizon as well as the copies now in iCloud.
    Open Contacts on your phone and tap Groups, tap the Groups that were imported from Verizon so they are unchecked and tap Done.  This will hide them from view and illiminate the duplicates.
