HT4515 Contacts Help (Groups)

How do I take my contacts in my iphone 4s and make groups out of them? I was able to do this with my android but can't on my iphone device. Do I need to do this in itunes? If so how?

Hi, I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but if you hi-lite a contact from list and select options then edit, you can add and remove details and edit existing ones.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck

I've got my contacts in groups in my address.
I've just dragged and dropped a group into a numbers doc and the process has gone wrong!
I've got the email addresses on the numbers doc but the group in basically empty...help
I've done something silly...but what?

I beleive they were synced with iCloud before I ran out of storage I then backup to my PC periodically.
My contacts switch is off, I have now slid this across and no contacts have come back. Is there any other steps necessary for me to take? Switch my phone off or reset again?
Thanks for your assistance!

I need help with my contacts in Groups

I have one question with Contacts on your iPhone I already have contacts in groups but when I press done on the top right of the screen it just shows all contacts but I want them in groups which I already have it set up but I think not the right way and this is with icloud because I want my contacts in groups so like Family and then if I want to get to a contact that is family that group would open up or friends and so on the same way as I said with Family Thanks!!
I hope that's not to confusing let me know

Here's an article that explains how to create contact groups in the Contacts app on your Mac: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-organize-contacts-into-groups-in-mo untain-l.html. Once you have created the groups you want, sync your mac with iCloud and these groups will appear on your phone. This guide explains how to sync your mac with iCloud: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
After you start syncing your Mac with iCloud, make sure you stop syncing the same data using iTunes. If you don't, you'll end up with duplicates. Make sure you don't check Sync Contacts or Sync Calendars, Mail or Bookmarks on the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings if you are syncing these with iCloud now.

Tried to download but keep getting message:the older version of apple software update cannot be remove contact support group Help

Trying to uninstall and download itunes keep getting message "the older version of apple software update cannot be removed contact support group. There must be a hidden file I can't find.

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25 2010. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Ios 8.3 will not allow me to add a contact to group message

ios 8.3 will not allow me to add a contact to group message. When I touch "Details" on a group message (says "Group MMS" at the top), THERE IS NO OPTION TO ADD CONTACT. Why not? iPhone 6.

I had tried that previously with no results. So, I changed the password with the provider. Next I resubmitted the ID and password, ignoring the Yahoo button, but instead choosing the Other button. It was successful. Sometimes it's necessary to change the playing field, rather than put up with the potholes. Thanks for your help.

Contacts and groups

is there a maximum number of contacts? is there a max # of contacts per group?
i want to set up some large email lists - if there is a max on verizon.net , will it work if i do it in outlook?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For your verizon.net addressbook, you have a max of 300 entries. That includes individuals AND groups. So if you have 38 contacts and two groups, that makes 40 entries. If you use an email client, you will not have this restriction.
You cannot send to more than 100 contacts at a time using Verizon's servers, and no more than 500 in an hour. This is stated in their email policy here.
The following limits apply with respect to the sending of e-mail from your verizon.net e-mail account. These rules are in place in order to help fight spam (i.e., unsolicited e-mail). For more information on Verizon Online's efforts to fight spam, please see the Verizon Online Anti-Spam Policy.
You may not include more than 100 recipients in a single email. Messages will not be sent to any recipients in excess of 100.
You may not exceed 500 recipients in 1 hour. Exceeding 500 recipients in 1 hour will result in the suspension of your ability to send email for 24 hours. This does not affect your ability to receive email.
It is important to note that the restrictions on the number of recipients/messages apply regardless of whether you use verizon.net or an email client. If you need to send more messages, I'd suggest finding another outgoing server to use.

Deleting contacts or groups from address book impossible

How can I delete contacts or groups from my address book? The corresponding menu items "delete contact" or "delete group" are greyed. Pressing the "delete" buttom only works for contacts. But the deleted contact isn't really erased. There remains an untitled contact at the end of the list that I cannot delete. Not very nice :-(
Does anybody knows some help?

I can't recreate that on my Mac, so I suspect something got corrupted in your preferences.
Quit Contacts.
Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library".
Then go to yor Preferences folder and and drag com.apple.AddressBook.plist to your Desktop.
Relaunch Contacts and test.

Will webOS 2.0 allow viewing contacts by groups?

Hi!
One of the things that made my old Treo so useful was the ability to sort and view my contacts by groups. For anyone in any kind of business, it is nearly essential to be able to do so. When I got my Pre, I was definitely disappointed to find that I not only could not view my contacts by group, but I had to log on to Google on my computer in order to do any contact organization beyond "add" or "delete".
Will 2.0 allow us to have more flexibility with our contact management? The handling of PIM data is what made Palm so great to me in the past. I sincerely hope that if it is not introduced in the new OS version, at least the opportunity will be afforded to the excellent developers who have been making webOS the great tool it is today.
Thank you for any insight or information!

This question was solved.

With the Contacts app open, if you just start typing it will automatically start filtering the display to show corresponding responses by either first or last name. The more letters you enter, the narrower the responses.
Another work-around which can help with organization: Use the Company field. It also responds to the same search method, such that if you have many contacts in the same "group" you can use the Company field to search for them. For example, if you have many family members in your contacts list, use "Family" as the company name. Then when you type Family, they will all appear alphabetically.
It's not as useful as the old Palm OS contacts database was, especially if you already use the Company field for a real company name. But, it is useful to many.

How can I send a message to multiple contacts using "groups".

How can I send a message to multiple contacts using "groups".
It was easy on my sony ericssonn....do i need to download an app?

There is no group send option like you are looking for.
To send to a group you have to pick each person you want to send to and send as a group that way. Then don't delete that SMS thread and you can reuse it again later.
As for an app, well SMS works via your carrier and the OS, not something an App can do unless the app send the data to them (a third party) and then they relay it to the carrier. Do you really want to be sending your SMS to some 3rd party first?

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

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.

2 contact lists ( Groups )

I have a complicated problem On my i phone 5s.
i have 2 contact lists ( Groups ) one under the name of I Cloud (750 contacts ) and the other under e-mail name( 650 contact ) some contacts are duplicated in both groups , the problem that i clouds only sync those contact under its name i can't find the other contact list over i cloud . anyone know how can i link both groups or copy the other contact list to i cloud

To copy the contacts from your email account to iCloud, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer from your email account, you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the email account) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap the email account that you are syncing contacts with and turn off contacts syncing with this account (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your device).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.
All your contacts should now be in iCloud. Since you mentioned that there were some contacts were in both your email account and your iCloud account, you will probably have some duplicates in iCloud now that you have consolidated them there. If that's the case you'll have to go to icloud.com and manually delete these duplicates.

Assigning contact to groups

I can easily assign my contacts to one or more groups (using drag and drop) on the desktop application. How can I assign a new contact to one or more groups on my iphone 3g?
Thanks, Martin

I don't know how this makes sense; a contact can be in many groups. Generally an appointment is only in one calendar.
You can always assign contacts to groups by dragging them to the group in Contacts.

ITunes, Sync Contacts, Selected groups is grayed out.

iTunes, Sync Contacts, Selected groups is grayed out. I have a number of groups in my Contacts for different mobile phones. After updating iTunes and the OS I can not click on Selected groups. Does anyone know how to make this available?

Best I’ve been able to figure out via trying and searching:
It appears only groups in a cloud service can be selected, so if one doesn’t have iCloud groups or groups on some other supported cloud service, the option is grayed out.
Big Brother wants it all.
Fortunately I don’t need many contacts on my iOS device since I use it little.
But it’s still annoying to be locked out ’cause me try to avoid Big Brother much as possible.
What a world!
