How to group together contacts?

Hi there, I would like to know how to group people/phone numbers together under one category. For instance I have a ton of people from work I need to put into my phone but want to put them and their numbers all under one category like "Work" and be able to open it up and theres all my contacts from work. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. I did look for answers but I kept getting things about grouping emails and thats not what I'm looking for,

You can create groups of contacts on your computer, then sync them on your iPhone. But you will not be able to select a group as text recipient. As of today, you need an application for that. I have create a free application, Easy Group, to handle this missing feature.

  • How Smart Groups in Contacts transfer to the iCloud

    I have Smart Groups in Contacts on my Mac. When I try to send emails from my iPad, it will recognize that certain people belong to a group, but it won't recognize the group name as a valid email address. How do I fix this?

    There is a work around, here
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/4902780#4902780
    Basically, use Smart Groups on your Mac to create dynamic subsets of your contacts. Copy all of the contacts in that group (command-A) to a [regular / static / dumb] group. You can rename that group to whatever you want (including the same name as the smart group). A bit of a pain, but if the contacts in your smart group don't change that much, you shouldn't have to update your [regular / statis/ dumb] group very often... such as for my "family" group.
    Also, you can then "prune" the [regular / static / dumb] group of contacts that your smart group rules included, but shouldn't be in the group, when you update it. I do this monthly for my "travel" group.

  • How to group together same field values in a internal table.

    Hi Gurus,
    Case:1
    Using AUFNR, i am retrieving data from RESB table.
    Fields (RSPOS, ALPGR, ALPRF,KZAUS, MATNR).
    If RESB-ALPGR (Alternate material group) is not initial, sort those values with ALPFR (Priority) after that group together same ALPGR values.
    1) Top most priority (ALPRF) value MATNR populate to IDOC field.
    2). Next top priority (ALPRF) value MATNR populate to IDOC field.
    Case2:
    using AUFNR, check RESB-KZAUS if it has a value '1'.
    then, check to see if there are RESB-RSPOS that has the same (repeated RSPOS values) Ex: RSPOS value 0002,0002.
    if yes, place the first RSPOS with KZAUS = 1. MATNR move to IDOC next RSPOS-MATNR value move to IDOC field.
    Points will be awarded for useful answers.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • How can I view or sort or group my CONTACT GROUPS together in Outlook 2010?

    How can I view (in my contacts list or address book) or sort/group my CONTACT GROUPS together in Outlook 2010, separately from the individual contacts?

    In the Contact folder, use a custom view that shows only Contact groups.  Create the filter on the filter dialog's Advanced tab -
    Message Class contains IPM.DistList

  • How to delete a contact group on the iPhone?

    Hello!
    I've been searching for a way to delete a contact group on the iPhone, but I was not able to find one. The only answers I have found tried to tell me that it is not possible to do this on the iPhone. But I can hardly believe that the people at Apple would be so stupid not to include such a thing, as there are iPhone users who do not own a computer. How should they manage their contacts?
    So, would someone please be so kind and tell me how to delete a contact group on the device?
    TIA,
    Jan

    And, it's an even bigger shame that you let your customers do your work in the forum here. I expected to have an Apple employee read and answer the messages.

  • I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album?

    I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album? I was trying to move several albums onto a USB drive and it stated all other files exist at this location.  They are pictures taken at different times and have the same number I guess.

    In iPhoto albums may contain photos with the same file name - iPhoto handles that just fine
    If you are exporting them to move somewhere else use the sequential file name feature of export to give each file a unique name

  • How do I view contacts by group in E63?

    How do I view contacts by group in E63? I tried scrolling right in the contacts list and all that came up were the connection options (voice call, send text message, etc.)? I really need this function as I need to group contacts by country for ease of search. Thank you.

    Contact groups
    Select each contact you want to add to the contact
    group, select Options > Mark/Unmark > Mark to
    mark it, select Options > Group > Add to group>
    Create new group > Group name, and enter a name
    for the group.
    If you want to make conference calls to the group,
    define also the following:
    • Conf. service number — Enter the conference call
    service number.
    • Conf. service ID — Enter the conference call ID
    number.
    • Conf. service PIN — Enter the conference call PIN
    code number.
    To make a conference call to the group, select the
    group, scroll right, and select Call conf. service from
    *** source E63 user guide
    now did you try this approach that is listed in your user guide?

  • 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.

  • How can I share contacts in a specific group

    I want to share a specific group of contacts without having to share each of the contacts individually.

    iPad
    Yes, her contacts show up on her iPad, but only on her iPad
    iCloud
    She has her own iCloud ID but none of the contacts show up on it because they are in a group called 'Hotmail' and it is impossible on her iPad to change their group to 'iCloud'
    Mac
    I had already set up an account for her on my Mac, so her iPad is backed up.  But when she syncs her contacts to Mail on my Mac, none of the contacts come across, because they are not iCloud contacts.
    My question is still how do I get these contacts off the iPad and onto either the cloud or the mac so I can change their group so they sync in future and so that we can send a group email advising her friends and relatives of her change of email address.  If this is not possible it means emailing a hundred or so people individually.
    How sad that it is not possible on the ipad to select all contacts and assign them to a different group.

  • My emails from the same person are grouped together, how do I undo this so that each email stands on it's own?

    1.My emails from the same person are grouped together, how do I undo this so that each email stands on it's own?
    2.Currently my emails are grouped together if the subject is the same, how do I undo this?
    3.My emails are "folded up", with tabs like "See more" - how do I undo this? - I want to see the full email at once without having to click multiple times in the email on "show more" etc.
    4.When I send an email to some one, a copy of that email is sometimes sent to me?? - this confuses my and make me think I by accident sent it to myself, but when I check it in the SENT box, it the correct recipient's name was used. How to fix this mystery?

    How to a link a contact to a group

    You have to use a 3rd party app to do this.  Several are available, including ABContacts and Speed Names.  For texting, these don't support iMessage but you can always start a group message to a set of contacts on your phone and then save to conversation to send a future message to the same list of contacts.

    Create your group on your computer, and sync it on your iPhone. But you cannot use this group for texting. You need an application for this. Easy Group is a free one I have developped.

    How do I create a group in Contacts on my Iphone 5S?

    You cannot create them directly on the iPhone. You can do it via iCloud:
    iCloud: Create a group and add contacts to it
    or you can look in the App Store to find a compatible app to help you create groups on your iOS device.
