How do you create temporary contact groups in Contacts?

I attend music events several times a month, where there are often 1-30k people attending. I've made a lot of friends who also attend these events and like to meet up with them during the event, usually at different times as they often don't know each other.
For example, at one event I might want to meet up with 20 different people. Some I know or perhaps someone who's a friend of a friend might want to meet me. I'll get their phone number as well to text them during the event.
When I was on Windows mobile, I'll create a category named after the event, and I would add whoever I knew who was going the event to that category. After the event, I could just delete the category as it was no longer relevant.
With the iPhone, I don't know how to do anything even close to this. I've done some research, and it looks like you move contacts into a folder, sync, move them back, and then sync again. This sounds pretty tedious, and doesn't account for the fact a contact may belong to several categories at the same time.
Is there a solution in the pipeline or perhaps a 3rd party app that can let me assign contacts to multiple groups?

You might want to look at something like GroupMe.

Hi,
You can either use Bridge and the Output workspace, or grab optional plug-ins for CS5 and run Ps on OSX in the 32 bit mode. (Or grab the excellent 3rd party script, Contact Sheet X, and run that in Ps. http://ps-scripts.sourceforge.net/ContactSheetX/csx.html).

In Address Book, how do you create a new group under "On my Mac", not under "iCloud"?

In Address Book there are groups under "On my Mac" and groups under "iCloud". When I do File -> "Create new group", the new group always goes under "iCloud". How can I make a new group to go under "On my Mac". I also tried dragging the new group from the iCloud area to the "On my Mac" area, but that doesn't do it. Address Book is version 6.1.3. Thanks for your help.

Maybe look in the Preferences > Accounts & disable the iCloud account? That should force it to create a local group then re-enable the iCloud account. I would use the 'File > Export… Addressbook archive' to make a backup before you begin, but it should be fine.
I'm not sure 10.6.8 supported iCloud natively, so perhaps that is why it is being wierd?

[O365] [EWSMA 2.0] [C#] [Windows] How do you create a contact folder that resides under the "My Contacts" node in OWA for O365

In OWA for Office 365 you can create a contact folder that resides under the "My Contacts" node on "Peoples" tab. This folder ends up appearing under the "Contacts" folder in the exchange store. However, if you attempt to create
a contact folder under "My Contacts" using Outlook it ends up under "Other Contacts" node in OWA for O365. Even if you attempt to position folder at the root of exchange store it still places it under the "Other Contacts" folder.
The same is also true if you attempt to create a folder using EWS. Is there a way to create a folder using EWS that will appear under the "My Contacts" node in OWA for O365? I've tried the following with no luck:
ContactsFolder myContactsFolder = new ContactsFolder(EwsService);
myContactsFolder.DisplayName = "My contacts folder";
// Set other properties
myContactsFolder.Save(WellKnownFolderName.Contacts);
and
ContactsFolder myContactsFolder = newContactsFolder(EwsService);
myContactsFolder.DisplayName = "My contacts folder";
// Set other properties
myContactsFolder.Save(WellKnownFolderName.MsgFolderRoot);

Hi Tony,
Lots of questions, here goes:
CAN YOU: Yes. You can create multiple server nodes. You can add a server node by going into the Visual Administrator and clicking the add node button. Make sure you have the required space on the physical drive to accomodate the space needed for the new node (hint: check the space of your existing node).
PERFORMANCE: Yes, maybe. If you are running on a 32bit OS, yes, this will definitely improve your performance as you are most likely memory constrained at the moment. If you are running on an x64 or 64bit OS, you will find that performance will improve but only to the extent that you have memory free and that you have available CPU for the new node. Remember Java processes are CPU hogs at times, especially during startup, and the more of them you have, the more CPU you need. Also, watch out for garbage collections. Be sure to tune your instance to with incrementals and fulls in mind. Another benefit of multiple nodes is the HA you get by default when you add more than 1 node. Now if 1 node should crash or restart, your portal is still running and accessible on the other node.
PARAMETERS: Yes and no. For java startup parameters, you can create a template under the global --> servers to have your parameters be all the same When you create a node, those parameters will be used. But, your currently configured child configuration parameters will not be reflected in the new instance since those parameters are taken from the global (parent). This is what the global is for and you should consider adjusting the global if you want your child nodes to have consistant values.
Let me know if you have more questions.

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

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 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 get your contacts into groups?

how do you get your contacts into groups?

When you ask a question, please include the version of Mac OS X on your computer. iOS is not a Mac operating system.
Assuming you are running OS 10.9.1:
Open Contacts. Click File in the menu bar and select New Group. Enter the name of the group in Contacts on the left.
Go back to All Contacts (on the left) then drag and drop the names you want in that group on to the folder you just named.
Repeat as necessary for other groups.
Note that the names remain, as they should, in All Contacts, even after you have added them to a group.. You can delete a group if you want. The names will still remain in All Contacts.

How do I create an email group on iPad 2?

How do I create an email group from email or contacts to send emails to groups of like contacts

It's a comma (or semicolon) rather than a decimal point, if you're doing it manually, but that method does work across iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
This is actually close to how our "MailShot" app works (unlike most other group email apps) except that MailShot manages the groups for you and makes it easier to delete and add contacts to your groups.
If your groups are small you can try our free version on
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mailshot-group-email-done/id410279354?ls=1&mt=8.
There's an upgrade path to the full version if you like it in that app. or you can go straight to the Pro version:
