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.

You can't create groups in the contacts app on the iPad. See my post in this discussion here for alternatives.

If you have the contacts on the phone you can sync the phone to the computer. The contacts should then show in address book. At this point you can sync the address book data to iCloud. You have to make sure the iCloud account is setup on the computer and this will not work unless the computer is running 10.7.2 of course. There are other ways to add the contacts to iCloud like through the phone but the phone must be running iOS5. If it is you can simply add the cloud account to the phone and toggle the contacts slider. You will get a prompt to keep or delete the contact data. Of course you keep. Then you will get a prompt to merge at which point you do. This should merge the contacts on the phone with iCloud. Hope this helps.

There seems to be no way to do this in either iOS or OSX. Android figured this out and I see no reason why Apple can't give us the capability to group medical contacts for example into an easily accessible group without having to resort to using Dr. as the first part of the last name in order to have them in a convenient group.
There are many posts that ask for this and Apple seems to have no desire to give us something useful in the entire spectrum of software while fiddling around with watches etc.

In the Contacts app in OS X click the "+" at the bottom and choose New Group. Once groups are created just drag the entries into the group list on the left in the Contacts app. You may have to go to the Contacts View menu and click Show Groups.
You cannot create groups in iOS, or assign contacts to groups using the built-in Contacts app. However, there are several 3rd party apps that allow you to move contacts among groups. I use Speed Names, but there are several others that people have told me are easier to use.

How to save contact into a group

i was trying to save a new contact into a group in contacts and it is not going in the group but i is going just into the icloud contacts.

Morning jpuralil,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you're having issues with Contacts on your iPhone, once you've completed General Troubleshooting, skip to the iOS section.
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3998
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" on your Mac.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
iCloud: Add a new contact
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2659?viewlocale=en_US
Create a new contact
In Contacts, click the Add button at the bottom of a list of contacts.A blank contact card appears.
Type information for the contact, and add a photo if you want.
Click Done.
Best of luck,
Mario

Import Contacts into Group

1st of all, besides paying for MobileMe, there isn't any way to sync Address Book across Macs, is there? I will be upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard any day now... any pleasant surprises in this regard?
So assuming no to my above questions, is there a way to import contacts into a certain group? I use groups in Address Book like different phone books to organize contacts. I need to import & merge a group on 1 Mac to another. Right now when I do this, it puts them in All. This means I would have to search the newly imported contacts one by one and manually drop them into the group.

How do you get the vCards into their own folder when importing? I just noticed there is a Group called Last Import that has my import test contacts in it. Looks like I can shift click all those contacts & drag them into the group.
Now if I had 2 separate groups on the other computer that needed to be kept separate & dragged into 2 separate groups on the new computer, how would I handle that?

Contacts into groups

The contacts catorgories in Outlook 2003 won't sync into
groups in Iphone.
any help welcome

I can't use iCloud because my computer is running 10.6.8 and can't go to 10.7 (older machine). Otherwise this wouldn't be a problem. I have individual contacts and I have contact groups, both on my iPhone. I want to do some housecleaning and put individual contacts into specific groups. I can't figure out HOW to do this. Can't do it on the iPhone, can't access iCloud Contacts. Do I use the Mac Address Book? I can't figure out how to sync that with my iPhone either.
Thanks!

How to organize apps into folders and make them stick in iphone 3gs?

Four hours down the drain! Darn, I decided to finally learn how to organize my apps into folders and do it right. Instead I spent four hours and must have got it wrong.
I opened iTunes on my MacBook with my iPhone attached. Then clicked on the iPhone in the left side list of my iTunes. Then clicked on apps which brought up a nice page with all my iPhone apps listed in one window on the left and all the pages of the apps that are on my iPhone in the window on the right. So far this is what I think the User Manual and Help said to do.
At that point I created new folders by dragging one app over another. For example, I would find a photography app and drag it onto another photography app. That automatically created a folder with the name photography. Just what I wanted. I then looked for more photography apps and dragged them to the folder.
This is not too easy because I had eight pages of apps. At first, I would grab an app on a page and drag it to where I knew the corresponding folder would be and put it into the folder.
Later I found another way was to use the list of my apps on the right to put them in apps.
In the end, from what appeared on the screen, it seemed to me that most of my apps were in folders and the folders were either on page one, two, or three. At that point I thought that I should sync the MacBook with the iPhone, I believe, and did so.
When the sync was finished I took the iPhone off the computer and looked at it. NONE of the folders I created, nor the organization into folders of the apps were on my iPhone!
Obviously, I did something wrong since the same mess was on the iPhone as before, with apps all over the place and impossible to locate without taking too much time. This after four hours of work looking at a 13 in. laptop screen!
What I hope is that someone smarter than me will look at what I did and tell me where I went wrong.
I want the apps on the iPhone to be organized into logical folders so it is easier to find them. Something along the lines of a good database, you know?
Thank you for reading to the end of this question,

OK, I spent another afternoon doing the job started yesterday. Last night (could not sleep, so might as well think) I got to thinking that I really must have missed a step or something because all my work was done on the Mac and I did not recall any time when I transferred the new setup with folders to the iPhone.
Sure enough, when I tried it today I did find that missing step. When looking at the Home Page of the iPhone or any page being worked on, in the lower right hand corner two buttons say
SYNC APPLY
I do not recall using the APPLY button on the first day trying this, but I used it this time.
After making changes, I hit APPLY and the computer began to sync with the iPhone.
This time, although there is nothing telling the user what is going on, the sync actually makes the iPhone pages to look exactly like the pages created on the Mac.
Too bad the instructions and help did not say to do things in this way, which is the only correct way, as far as I can tell.
I have about 155 apps on the iPhone, making the job extra lengthy. However, I never could do it on the iPhone’s tiny screen, even though it is possible, so this was good - working on the larger screen of the MacBook.
There are also some (undocumented?) tricks in using the MacBook for this task. For example, it is possible to create a folder and then, using the list of all apps on the iPhone that is on the left side of screen, open the folder, click on the check box next to any app you want to put in the folder and it will jump right in!
If the check box already has a check mark, just click the box to remove it, click again to put the check mark in the box and voila the app takes off for the folder. This also works to just put apps onto a certain page, if you want to do that, but dragging apps around sometimes works better.
I hope it will not be necessary to do this again because of the time involved, and he need for quite a bit of thinking on how to move the apps and folders around to get everything just where you want it on the iPhone. The work reminded me of an old kids game that has a small square case with, I guess eleven movable numbers, that are all mixed up, and one space that is not filled with a number. You can move the little squares with the numbers around inside the case to try to line the numbers up in order from 1-11 and do it faster than anybody else.
Well, unfortunately lining up all my apps was like that because each page of the iPhone only holds 16 folders or apps and each folder is limited to 12 apps. Starting with 155 apps it takes too much mouse maneuvering to make the process easy.
Finally, the automatic folder names are very broad, as in MUSIC, LIFESTYLE, SPORTS and such, so I often just deleted the given categories and put my in my own. Also, some day I may break down the folders more because twelve apps in one folder means the apps are still pretty much out of view.
I wrote this in case anyone else finds it and has the same irksome product. If I just reinvented the wheel, please do not tell me now.

Have issues with Contact locking up while dragging contact into Group

After creating a new Group in iCloud-Contacts, while dragging and dropping new contacts into the group, the browser locks up each time I try to drag a new contact into the group.
Browser: Firefox 10.0.1

I am also having a similar problem with my 13 " macbook pro purchased in Aug 2011. I took the same to
m/s Unicorn Infosolutions Pvt Ltd , Mumbai ( authorised service centre for apple). They first checked it and said that it was a hardware problem and I will have to keep the MBP with them till they get the replacement part from Bangalore and the repair would be free of cost since it was under warranty. So far so good. Then late in the evening , they called me up to inform that there was liquid found inside and the mother board would have to be repaced and the same would cost Rs 64,000/- which is slightly less than the cost of a new mbp.
Unable to understand the formation of liquid since the time they checked up in the morning and their discovery in the late evening.
They probably had a change of heart regarding replacement of the part under warranty.
Apple should take serious action against such firms which indulge in such unscrupulous activities.
Now I am left high and dry since apart from scrapping my new MBP, my data is also lost.
Hope Apple can come out with a solution for this problem and replace/rectify the machine.

Can't drag and drop individual contact into group?

I upgraded from SL to Lion. In the address books, I still have the individual contacts as well as groups. However, when I add new individual contacts and then drag them into a pre-existing group, it doesn't work. In fact, I can't figure out how to add new contacts to the groups. When I try to great a new group, it gives it the name "untitled" and I can't figure out how to change it or delete it (the delete option is greyed out in the edit menu).
Can anyone help?
Also, is there a way of restoring the three pane view instead of the present two pane view?
Thanks!

I need an answer to this, too! There seems to be no way to move contacts around unless you start new groups!
HELP! I'm beginning to be sorry I switched to Lion...

OWA - Bulk Import of Contacts into Group

What is an option for importing a list of email addresses into OWA Contact Group/creating OWA Contact Group and pasting members' mail addresses into it? Similarly, if I create a new folder in My Contacts, how I can bulk import into this new folder? When
I use Import Contacts standard OWA feature, contacts always imported into default Contacts folder?

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, there is no feature available in OWA 2013 for you to import Contacts. Please refer to the following article to import Contacts or Contact Group from Outlook 2013 to have a try:

How to "collapse" Dashboards into groups on banner

I have a dashboard group with 5 seperate dashboard in it. All 5 of the dashboards are listed on my banner. Isn't there a setting somewhere that controls how many dashboards will be shown before they get grouped on the banner? I want to only show the Dashboard group name, and not the inidividual dashboards that make up the group...

Not sure because I don't fully understand your question but this may help :
