IPAD CONTACTS GROUP TAB

CAN ANYONE HELP ME OUT. I DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THE RED "GROUPS" TAB IN MY IPAD CONTACTS. SOME OF MY FRIENDS HAVE IT BUT I DO NOT. I HAVE ENSURED I HAVE THE LATEST SOFTWARE BUT THAT DIDNT HELP. I HAVE UPDATED ALL MY GROUPS BUT THEY DONT SEEM TO BE CARRYING OVER. ALL MY CONTACTS ARE THERE, JUST NOT THE RED TAB. IS THERE A SETTING I AM MISSING OR O I NEED TO HAVE MOBILE ME OR EXCHANGE TO USE THAT FEATURE...HELP

You have to have the groups set up on your computer in before you sync your Contacts. Your post makes it sound like you have done that already. The next step is to make sure that you are syncing to iTunes correctly.
Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Make sure that the device is being recognized - look for your iPad name in the left side. Then click on the info tab at the top of iTunes. Look down the list and make sure that you have the appropriate blocks checked for syncing contacts. Make sure you have Sync Address Book Contacts checked.
If you only have one group of contacts to sync, then you will probably not get the groups icon in contacts. For example, I have three groups in my contact list and the red tap shows up in the app. All contacts, - From my Mac - and - Exchange, from my MS exchange email account.
BTW I believe that generally speaking, typing in a discussion site like this in all capital letters indicates anger or shouting. We are a friendly group, no need to shout or be mad at us! (yet)

E66 where have contact groups tabs gone ??!

On my good old 7650 and N95 there were contact groups tabs in the "constacts". It was possible to browse only groups and select the contacts belonging only to the particular group.
On E66 all contacts along with all groups are dumped into a single list. My old trick with selecting group name starting with "_", like "_group1", "_group2" in order to have them on the top of the list doesnt work any longer either.
And how am I suposed now to navigate through a list of more than 100 contacts, with half of them on languages not supported (of cause) by the phone ???
The commucator UI leaves the impression of a raw **bleep** that somehow works, not mentioning the fact that the PC suite crashes trying to import textual CSV-file with contacts and looks like someone has stolen icons from the late Borland C++...

How to sync Outlook 2010 Contact Groups to my iPad and iPhone

I am trying to figure out how to sync my Outlook 2010 contact groups to my iPad and iPhone. Also how do you manage the groups once on the device? Seems they can only be selected and not edited. I can get my Good contact group and my Windows Contacts contact group to sync but not my Outlook 2010 groups. Any ideas?

Mac solution. No idea if works on PC:
Work Around:
On your mac:
1. Open a new email
2. Insert name of an existing group into one of the "To" fields as usual.
3. Highlight all the resulting names in the "To" entry
     [Highlight first name, and while holding shift, highlight last name and all will highlight[]
4. Copy (Command C) the highlighted emails
5. Paste (Command V) nto a pages document
6. Remove the name and anything else preceeding the first < and also the first < of only the first entry whixh will look like this:
     [email protected]>,
7. Remove the > of the last email which will look like this:
     , Jane Doe <[email protected]
8. Copy the entire altered list from the pages document
9, Go to Contact Book and click + to add a new entry
10.. Name the entry (XXX Group for iPad) or whatever you wish to call it
11. Paste all the copied altered list into any one of the email entry spaces
12. Click on "Done"
13. Create new email On iPad and click on + in any one of the "To" lines and search for "XXX Group for iPad" You cannot just key in XXX Group for iPad!!!!!!!, you must use + contact search.
14. Enter the selected iPad contact group into the "To" line.
15. All the entries will now appear in the "To" line and you are good to go.
Adding or deleting email addresses from the iPad group:
Easiest: Alter the original mac group in the usual way and repeat steps 1-14 above. It seems impossible to edit within the emai line of the iPad contact entry.
Rediculously simple once figured out.
Happy emailling, but please send Bcc so that you don't spread your groups' email addresses all over the internet for spam, viruses, and other unwanted emails. Be considerate and ask your recipients to notifiy you if they wish to be deleted from the lists you compose.

My iPad contacts disappeared after adding a contact

My IPad 2 contacts just disappeared after adding a contact. What will I do aside from syncing? Are there any other solutions?

Upon purchase of my iPad 2 I began saving contacts to my IPad Contacts application that is already set up upon purchase of iPad 2.   I then learnt about synching ( push ) my Gmail contacts to the Ipad 2 contacts 'exchange'.   I did this happily and was very pleased with the results however when synching the first time I chose not to delete my iPad 2 contacts I had began saving upon purchase.   This meant upon opening 'contacts' I had three choices 'iPad contacts', 'Exchange contacts' or 'All contacts'.   There is no way to save ipad contacts directly to the 'Exchange contacts' it has to be saved into a file or vcard and then imported in using e-mail or a PC.
A few days in to using push/exchange I also added calendar and notes to the push/exchange as I was happy with the contacts and e-mail.   I did notice some glitches since doing using push/exchange although I think it began when initially I began pushing contacts/mail there may be a slight chance that it began when I turned on calendar and notes facility to the push/exchange. The glitches that began meant sudden blinking during or after saving in calendar, contacts and notes.   Sometimes this would mean the item added was there but also sometimes it would mean that it was not.   Also double entries began arriving on both m iPad and in my Gmail Contacts online.   These were a mix of contacts that I had and had not not created or edited since acquiring my iPad 2 so the was no pattern or obvious reason.   They were all also a mix of contacts from different groups saved in my Gmail contacts.
Today suddenly whilst adding a contact the contacts blinked shut again.   I re-opened to see what had happened wondering if my contact had been saved or not however not only did what I add not get saved but all approx 500 contacts from both my iPad contacts and my Exchange Contacts vanished from my iPad 2.   I opened and closed the contacts to see if they would return but there was nothing.   I also hibernated and then later shut down and restarted the iPad many times to no avail.   I checked my Gmail Contacts account and thankfully all my contacts were still there.   However, it was still extremely frustrating to have everything vanish from my iPad and then not just come back from there especially as he e-mails and calendar seemed to be still working fine with Exhange/push.   Also, why had the contacts saved to the IPad contacts directly vanished also ?!!   For a £800 gadget not including accessories it really is unacceptable !!!
Finally what worked for me was going to 'Settings', then going to 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selecting the 'exchange' account and then switching 'contacts' to 'off', then I selected 'delete' iPad contacts i.e delete the contacts saved in the iPad contacts group however with nothing there to lose this time and having a feeling that perhaps that may have contributed to the issues/glitches and this contacts vanishing I clicked on the 'delete'.   I really do have a feeling that perhaps the issues may have been due to having two sets of contacts even though there were only a few there in the iPad before they vanished along with the Exchange contacts.   I clicked 'done' and then I didn't hibernate the iPad 2 instead I shut it completely down.
Upon restarting my iPad 2 I went to see if the contacts had returned but unfortunately once again they had not.   I returned to 'settings', then 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selected 'exchange' from accounts and switched 'contacts' back on i.e enabled this once again and clicked done.   I then once again switched off ( shut down ) my iPad 2 and waited a while.   Upon restarting I again went back to contacts and found some of my contacts finally arrive but not all.   My 'push/'fetch' for exchange is set to every 15 minutes and every push/fetch showed me more and more contacts until finally I had all but one which has still not showed up !   However, I am once again happy and this time I only have one contacts group I.e for exchange and no separate iPad contacts to confuse me or iPad.   I don't know if this will mean all will be okay now as I do feel like perhaps I cannot now trust iPad contacts and maybe need to print out everything and keep this on me also just in case. I'll keep you posted !

I cannot sync my contact groups from Outlook 2010 (Win 7) onto my iPad. Can anyone help please ?

I cannor sync my contact groups from Outlook 2010 (Win 7) onto my iPad. Can anyone help please ?

in Itunes, once you connect the iPad, do you see the 'info' tab? Tap that and scroll down and see if outlook is chosen as the place to sync contacts from. If not, check it and sync and see if your contacts move over.

How can i move my contacts into different contact groups on my ipad

i have created contact groups on my ipad through icloud, i now want to move contacts into different groups, but can't work out how to do it!! any help would be appreciated.

If you have a Mac, create the groups in Address book application.
You can also log into icloud.com and create the groups there. They will sync to your iPad.

5530 xpressmusic: groups tab in contacts not selec...

in the contacts window, i have three tabs at the very top: an icon that looks like a list, another one that sayy OVI and the third one has three people. i take the third one is the groups tab... but i cannot choose it, nothing happens when i click/press on either of those three.... same goes for call logs where there are also several tabs on top same goes for the bluetooth window restarting doesn't solve this. updating neither. not using any protective film. tried screen calibration several times to no avail. but that shouldn't be the problem anyway, cause in the main window (default screen) i can change the profile alright, and that's just about in the same place as those tabs.... any ideas what this is and how to fix it? thanks!
Solved!

Cheers marvin121, happy you are now back up and running properly again
There's no list as such but i've always found themes from the links below to work well. Be sure to install themes for your operating system (S60v5 or S^1) as themes for older versions can cause problems.

How do I find my Contact Groups in iPhone 3G (v2.0)?

My Contacts are setup in Entourage on my Macbook & they auto-sync with Address Book which has all the contacts setup in Groups. iTunes successfully synched all my contacts across to my new iPhone 3G (I'm not using the iPhone for email yet - haven't set it up). When I go into Contacts, I can't see any buttons/options/anything that lets me see any groups + there's no group info showing within any individual contacts. In iTunes, when I sync, the Info tab lets me "Sync Address Book contacts' but only "All contacts" - the "Selected groups' radio button is greyed out (I can't select it) as is the checkbox for "Put new contacts created on this iPhone into the group". I don't know whether this is just a 'feature' here in Australia, but it seems odd. Am I doing something wrong or missing something here? It'd be really gr8 to get iPhone to recognise my contact groups. Any help appreciated thx.

Well blow me down & keelhaul me! I've solved my own problem. The issue appears to be that Apple won't sync Smart Groups from Address Book to the iPhone. I created a test group with a few dud contacts in Address Book; iTunes sync'ed then OK & as soon as I went into Contacts on iPhone, there suddenly was the Groups button appearing with 2 Groups - my Test Group + all Other contacts. Nice one apple - another undocumented feature! Looks like I have to do away with the Smart Groups feature & convert them all to normal Groups in Address book - bugga!

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 -

Auto update of contact groups in Address Book when created on iphone?

So, I'm OK with how to work with two phones on the one itunes account, with regard to contacts and calendars, but can I get Address Book to automatically add any new contacts created on each phone to the correct contact group?

In iTunes, on the Info tab with the iPhone connected, there's a pop-up menu to choose the Address Book Group to which new contacts created on that phone are added. Check the box and select the proper group from the list.
