HT2486 How do you create a group on the iPad or iphone

I'd like to know how to create a group in contacts in Address Book on the iPad or iPhone.

I just tried this method and it works. I'm also looking into creating groups using iCloud, but haven't really read into it yet.
1) go to your Contacts App. Select "All Contacts", or whatever area you want to include your new group.
2) touch the + sign at the bottom which will add in a new contact. Yes, you're right, this is NOT a group contact, but an individual one.
3) In the "First" name field, add in the name of the group. You can ignore Last name and/or company if you want, or add in more info.
4) add your string of email names in the "email" field. I believe the default just says Home.
voila.
I recommend that you first make the string of names in another text app, such as notes first as I accidentally touched the little 'x' mark on the far right side which deleted my progress...argh. Or, if you have a lot of addressses to add, you might want to do it on your computer first, and then just email the list to yourself. I'm sure there are easier ways, but this is a quick and easy way, especially if your email group isn't large.

  • 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

    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.

  • How do you create a messages account the new macbook air

    how do you create a messages account the new macbook air

    Not possible to create a new mailbox with the iPhone.
    If the account is an IMAP account, you can create additional server stored mailboxes with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account or via webmail access for the account using a browser. Any additional server stored mailboxes created with an IMAP account will be available automatically when checking the account with the iPhone's Mail client, and will be kept synchronized with the server automatically.
    This is not possible with a POP account. You may be able to create additional server stored mailboxes with a POP account via webmail access for the account using a browser, but such mailboxes will not be available with the iPhone's Mail client, or with any email client used to access the account.

  • How do you do word processing on the iPad is there a word processing App?

    How do you do word processing on the iPad is there a word processing App?

    It all depends on what I need to use the document for.
    When I need to create a text document that I need to share at work I use OnLive Desktop.  This gives me a Windows 7 Desktop with Office 2010 apps on it that I can connect to DropBox. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/onlive-desktop/id490292278?mt=8 or CloudOn https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cloudon/id474025452?mt=8. You have to be connected to a FAST wifi network to use this option.
    If I need to create a Word doc on the go I use QuickOffice Pro. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/quickoffice-pro-hd-edit-office/id376212724?mt=8
    Connects to DropBox.
    If I just need to create a formatted text document, think Word document, I use Pages.  It is easy to use on the iPad, because it was designed for it from the start and it now supports TrackChanges. But it does Track Changes a bit clumsy.   https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pages/id361309726?mt=8
    Connects to iCloud and you can open in Pages from DropBox.
    If I just need a plain text document, I use PlainText.  Connects to DropBox and is easy to use.  https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/plaintext-dropbox-text-editing/id391254385?mt=8
    There are lots of options out there, it just depends on what you need to do the most.

  • How do you open an image on the iPad, via Photo Stream, into PS Touch?

    To anyone using an Apple iPad w/ PS Touch.  How do you open an image on the iPad, via Photo Stream, into PS Touch?

    You need to start from PS Touch for this.
    There's two ways either direct in the gallery with the +image icon.
    Or you create a document and use the +image icon in the document view.
    thanks,

  • How do you get multiple screens on the iPad with iOS 5.1.1?

    How do you get multiple screens on the iPad with iOS 5.1.1? We just upgraded to iOS 5.1.1, and we see no way to be able to open multiple screens at once. Before, there was a small button in the upper portion of any window. That button would take you from a particular window to the place where multiple windows are open at once. Does it do it differently? Is there a special setting button that we have missed? Thanks!
    One more thing: We are only talking about Safari.

    Guitaristica-
    I don't think I've seen a way to have separate Safari screens visible at the same time.  The small thumbnails were deleted in one of the iOS updates, and replaced with a multiple "Tab" system.
    You can open an additional screen in a new "tab" by pressing and holding on a link until a new menu comes up.

    I'm trying to write a paper that needs to be in APA format which includes hanging indents. How do you make hanging indents on the iPad version of pages? I don't want to have to convert it into word every time I need to write a paper or fix the formatting

    Create a paragraph style which has the margins and paragraph indent where you want them.

    Once you've done it for one paragraph and got that looking right you can copy and paste that style onto other paragraphs:

  • How do you create new groups within Contacts on the iPad?

    Can you create new groups within Contacts directly from the iPad, iPhone,or do you have to do it on the computer first?

    The easiest way is to get the app called group e mail.  There are a couple of others as well.  There is a way to do it on your computer, and sync it, but I find that personally frustrating.  :).  Save yourself the aggrevation, and get the app, that works pretty well.

  • How do you add a "Group" on the iPhone

    I can't figure out how to add a new "Group to the "Contacts".
    Please help.

    You should probably leave feedback with Apple, asking them to add that feature (I completely agree that it is completely lame that there is no group edit support on the phone!)

    Press on the app and hold until the apps begin to wiggle. Tap on the circled "x" that appears in the upper left corner.
