How to add groups from address book to phone?

I copied contacts from phone to isync and then in address book I created groups which I then added contacts to.
However when I did a sync with phone it did not add these groups
I have a nokia e72
I thought will be easier to do it on mac then copy over

Hi
I have the same problem. I'm on a Nokia E51 and it synchronizes the individual contacts fine.
Starting point: None of my contacts where parted in groups.
2: I made a group in my adressbook called "FIR" wich is my studygroup.
3: I can still synchronize the contacts. But the group ("FIR") i've created does not show up on my phone!?
Do I have to make the "FIR" group on the phone myself? I figured it would be easier to make the group in AdressBoook and then Synch it.

  • How to add contacts from address book

    I updated my GS last night from 3.2.1 to the new 5.  I did not realize that it would delete my contact list!!!  All of my contacts are still in my address book on my computer.  Is there a way to transfer them to my phone?
    Also, I tried to restore from backup, but the back up was from so recent, meaning there would be no contacts.

    Connect to computer. Open iTunes and check the box that says sync contacts with address book

  • Syncing Smart Groups from Address Book

    Spent a lot of time creating a smart group in address book, only to find that iphone sync doesn't recognize "Smart Groups", only regular groups. Maybe the engineers can write some script to fix this little bugaboo to have the sync software recognize smart groups from Address Book and place them in the box so that the user can select the smart group and not have to sync the whole address book. Thanks.

    Yes. Please. It would be great if the syncing of smart groups were to be added. Right now with the large amount of address' I manage for business, it's important that I see the same groups on my iPhone.
    Please add.

  • HT2486 want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible

    want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible (see attached image). for some reason, all new contacts added through Mountain Lion appear as fullscreen caller ID images.

    This would be better addressed in the iPhone forum, I would post there as well.

  • When emailing a group from address book it opens individual emails....

    When emailing a group from address book it opens individual emails for each name rather than one email with all email addresses listed. Have I set things up wrongly or is there something I can do to have a single email sent to multiple addressees via Address Book?

    Hello,
    When addressing an email for this group, are you
    entering only the name of the Group as the address?
    More info, please.
    Ernie
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes, it works directly in Mail - type in group name and all's well and lovely - but if I'm in Address Book and want to email a group it opens numerous emails. THere seems to be no way of opening Mail from Address Book and go straight to emailing a group.

  • Cannot send email to Smart Group from Address Book

    I created several Smart Groups in Address Book but I can't use any of them to send email. When I right-click the group name and choose Send Email, it opens my default email program (Thunderbird) and puts only the name of the Smart Group into the To: field, not the actual addresses.
    If I try to actually send the message, I get the error that (name of group) "is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the email."
    What am I doing wrong? How can I get it to paste the actual addresses and not just the name of the group? I looked at the Edit Distribution List window and all the addresses are there.
    I'm using OS X 10.5.7, Address Book 4.1.2 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.22.
    Thanks in advance.

    What is the exact message you get when sending fails -- does it say there are one or more invalid addresses, or what?
    Having a name in the list without email address or possibly one separated by comma between last and first might result similarly in an invalid address, and Mail will likely refuse to send to any. But if the message is from the SMTP, that might depend on the provider's policies for that.

  • Export/Import groups from address book?

    How do I export group lists from address book and import them to another MAC?

    I can import individual contacts but when I export and then import a group list it imports as single contacts that go into the general contact folder.  I cannot seem to import them as groups.

  • BACKUP only ONE group from address book

    One of my groups was accidently deleted from address book (I guess, anyway it is gone). I have a backup but I only want to restore that ONE group in the book. When I click on the backup file it says it will completely overwrite my address book. I don't want to do that.
    How can I retrieve just the one group (which has about 150 addresses in it)? I do not know which of the names in my ALL list should be in this group.

    The Address Book filing structure is similar to the filing structure used by iTunes.
    You can't place a song in a new or existing playlist group without the song being added to the primary iTunes database first and the same with Address Book contacts.
    As you know, deleting a contact from a Group or deleting the entire Group does not remove the Group contacts from the primary Address Book database.
    You can't import a Group only from an Address Book backup file.

    Apple support, please help.

    Hello ac9000 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    If you were to create a contact in your BlackBerry, does it sync to your Mac Address Boook?
    In your BlackBerry Address Book if you go to Menu>Options, under Contact lists do you have an email account listed? If so, if you click into it, does this list sync wirelessley to this email account?
    As for your Calendar, if you open your iCal do you have any calendars listed?
    If you create a new Calendar and make a test entry, does this new Calendar sync to your device? If you create a Calendar appointment on your BlackBerry, does it sync to your iCal?

  • HT4489 how to import contacts from address book on mac?

    I'm a new user and was wondering if there was a way to import/transfer/copy my contact details from Address Book to ICloud?

    Open Address Book on your Mac, select the All Contacts group (if you have multiple groups), click on a single contact, press Command-A to select All Contacts, go to File>Export>Export vCard and save this file on your desktop.  Then import the file you just saved to your contacts on icloud.com as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfba7399f.

  • Using a smart address group from Address Book

    I might be asking sth already been answered but I cant find it, so sorry,  but how do you send an email to a group of contacts who have been grouped by a Smart Group in Address Book? Address Book's help says
    If you don’t have a group of addresses, create one.
    Creating groups or foldersChoose File > Send Updates.
    In the dialog that appears, select the group or groups you want to notify.
    Type a subject title and a message, and then click Send.
    The trouble is that Send Updates is grey-ed out - see below!
    What? How am I meant to follow those instructions if the menu option is grey-ed out?
    Helen.

    Helen,
    In your original question, your screen shot shows that the active application is AddressBook, and you are trying to use its File menu. The option you discuss is for sending updates of your own address card, not for sending out group emails. In other words, if you change your own contact details in AddressBook, you can send the new contact details out using this menu option. I hope that this is what you intended, rather than simply sending out an email to a [Smart] group as others have discussed.
    However, I cannot get the 'Send Updates' option in the File menu to be disabled in the way you have managed. I note that you are still in the edit mode on the current contact in the screen shot (the Edit button has blue text instead of black). I also note that 'Save' in the File menu is enabled, implying that you have a currently unsaved change somewhere. Maybe one of these issues is preventing you sending out your new contact details.
    I expect by now that you have sorted this out yourself. If not, have you tried closing AddressBook and re-opening to resolve the unsaved issue?
