Multiple contacts lists iCloud

Could it be possible to make multiple contacts lists in iCloud, just like you can make multiple Calanders in iCloud.
This could help many people who have multiple iPhone's - Mac's or iPad's and wan't everything to Sync using one Aplle ID.
This way you don't need your wife's/husband's contacts in your iPhone, but you can see them all on your Mac or iPad wich you share.

You can use the Group function on your MBP.
Establish a New Group in your Contacts on the MBP or icloud.com. These groups will the also appear on your iOS devices.

With multiple contact lists, list title not correct

I have an original iPhone w/ 2.0 software, hooked up to my company's Exchange server. I created multiple contact folders on Exchange to categorize my contacts: Clients, Company, Friends, Family, etc.
The multiple folders show up just fine as Groups on the iPhone. The problem is that when I select one of the individual lists (e.g. Friends), the title on the list reverts to "All Contacts". The list still contains just Friends, but the title has changed.
Bug?

I noticed a lot of people read this question and judging by how many similar questions appear on this and other forums, it appears there is a lot of interest in this topic
I was finally able to resolve it by using a blackberry back up file (which contained all my contacts from the multiple address books on my device) and converting that data into outlook ready files. I had to use a third party tool to do this because you cannot directly import contacts to outlook from an .ipd file. I can provide the name of the tool if anyone wants but dont want it to look like I am spamming.
Once everything was in my desktop outlook it was easy to synch with my my device to get everything into the desktop address book and then delete the entries in the other addres books All a bit fiddly, a little bit time consuming but it got the job done.
Cheers.

Multiple contact lists: how do I merge them into one main list?

Hi there
PLEASE HELP! I travel between two African countries regurlarly, and every time I do, I have to swap simcards (I do not roam). But, everytime I do, I find a new contact list has been created somehow in my Contacts.
I have about 7 entries now per contact as a result of this, and I'm desperate to merge them all into one main list. I'm also updating contact details, but have trouble saving them as my phone does not allow "duplicate names" (an option I selected), thus I have to delete all the other silly copies before I can change/update a contact. I did this because otherwise I don't know which contact (of the seven) has the updated info, forcing me to delete the others so I can keep track!
Please help!
1.) how do I merge the contact lists into one main list?
2.) how do I delete the other lists?
Thank you!
Lise

You can connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software on your PC and go to Device > Delete > Select Data > and specifically select which Address Book databases you want to delete.
I would recommend that your FIRST do a complete backup of your BlackBerry while in the Desktop Software.

Good afternoon,
I have a user that has set up a seperate contact group/list in her outlook 2003. She wants to be able to emal her secondary contact group from her blackberry while she is on the road. The question is can this be done?
Quick glance break down: Outlook 2003
-Contacts
+Global list
+Friends
On blackberry -Send email -starts typing letters-auto populates but from global ---- {user wishes to send friend and email } [ friends email address in not in the global list only in the friends contact list]

My address book groups in the Address Book on my Mac are synced and available on my iPhone, but addressing an email or an SMS to an address book group or distribution list is not supported - at the present time anyway.

HT204150 how do i combine multiple contact lists in icloud

How can I combine multiple icloud back-ups; phone got wet and lost all my data, but have it backed up on other devices? How can I pull the data to the new phone?

I created groups and organized all my contacts into the groups using Outlook. However, the iPhone doesn't give me the option to view the contacts in groups, nor does it even mention or list the group name when you view the contacts individually.

Multiple contact list

Hi everyone. As I travel frequently for my business, I was wondering if I can separate my contacts into the different countries or categories. In fact, I 've found the option of "filter" in contact menu, but I am not sure how I can use it yet. Is there any way to save the contacts on media card? I appreciate any comment over this matter.
Regards
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Firsst of all, you need to create the categories on Outlook, after this categorize the contacts, and synch the device with the pc.
Right now you can use the Filter option to see only the categorie you want.
If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.

HT1430 email and contact lists

If I delete account from iphone and then re-register that account will all contacts and appointments be rentered or are they lost

Hi sunchuan_joseph,
Welcome to the support community!
Could you provide a bit more information please so I can better assist you?
Are you missing individual contact entries or entire contact lists? If they are contact lists, are you missing multiple contact lists or one only? If they are individual contacts, are they all from the same contact list?
How were these contacts originally added to your BlackBerry Z10 smartphone?
Can you please provide more detail on the second issue with your Yahoo! email? Is this the same email account the missing contacts you previously mentioned were associated with?
Is this same information also missing from your Yahoo! account when you access it from a computer?
Did you try to re-add your Yahoo! email account? If so, can you tell me what happened when you tried?
I look forward to your response.

Multiple contacts created while migrating from blackberry to i phone 6

while migrating from blackberry to i phone 6, i have inherited multiple contact lists. each is different in some way or the other. also, the one on my new phone is different. i need to merge all into one. how do it do it?

Your question doesn't seem to be related to Microsoft Word at all. I suggest that you try a forum that deals with IPhone.

TS3899 delete autofill contacts in icloud email

Anyone figure out how to disable autofill of multiple contacts in icloud browser email?

In a browser as in on a computer? If so, what does this have to do with the iPhone?

My family put multiple devices on the icloud, and I need to know how to manage duplicate entries. Specifically contacts. If I fix the contact list on my pc will it push the info out to the other devices and maintain it correctly?

All devices signed into the same iCloud account will finish up with the same contacts. Of course if prior to joining iCloud two family members each had an entry for Uncle Fred, then you will finish up with two contact cards for Uncle Fred, and so on. If you tidy this up on your computer then the changes will propagate to everyone else.

Haven't used icloud yet but if we have multiple devices with multiple contacts can we save each contact list to the cloud separately?

We have four separate iPhones with four separate contact list but one family apple ID. If we back each device up to the cloud using the same apple ID will it keep the lists separate?

You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs. (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.) This will prevent you from ending up with merged data. You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

How to select multiple addresses from the contacts list to send an email?

How do I select multiple addresses from the contacts list at one time to send an email. Each time I select one, the address book closes and I have to touch the "+" key to open it back to select another address. Is there a way to select all of them at one time instead of making a group? Thanks.

Yes, once you select a person from your Contacts app, you either need to select more from the '+' button or you can tap in the 'to:' field and type in the first few letters of a contact and select from the list. Kinda bummer but gotta make do.

HT1766 I backed up my I Phone contacts to I Cloud. When I go to ICloud on my MAC, the contact list I see is the email contacts on my MAC. How do I get the phone contacts in order entered onto my MAC?

I backed up my I Phone contacts to ICloud. When I go to ICloud contacts at ICloud.com on my Mac computer, the list is not as I saved it; it appears to be my contact list on my Mac computer. How do I get my current IPhone contact list to show up.

Have you activated iCloud on your Mac? Have you configured iCloud to sync Contacts for to your Mac in System Preferences?
