N95 Contact Groups with iSync

Hi there,
I have done some searching around and can only find old posts on this and was wondering if this had been sorted since.
I have a Macbook and I use contact groups in my Address Book. I would like those contact groups to be created on my n95 address book when I use iSync.
Can this be done? Also, if it can be done with a special program please tell me as I will happily install something to get this to work.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Stephan.
I found that iSync had errors when syncing that was stopping it refreshing the groups successfully.
1. Open Applications > Utilities > Console.
2. Open iSync and try and sync
Look in the console log and see if it comes up with any entries with error or failure in them. In my case I had an error that a directory did not exist and this was causing iSync to lock up when it came to refreshing groups from Addressbook. My error is reproduced below.
2006-05-30 12:19:26.124 AddressBookSync[324] SyncServices assertion failure ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:directory]) in [ISDRecordStore initWithDatabaseInDirectory:], /SourceCache/SyncServices2/SyncServices2-188/SyncServices/ISDRecordStore.m:32 directory does not exist: /Users/xxx/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/clientdata/0063006f006d002e006100700070006c0065002e0 0410064006400720065007300730042006f006f006b
In my case, I created the directory mentioned which stopped the error occurring. For some other reason when I sync'd next I had duplicate contact groups - but one of the duplicates was empty. I was then able to delete the duplicates in AddressBook and sync my desired group to my phone.
If iSync works correctly, you should only receive one line in the log after syncing if there are no changes e.g.
2006-05-30 12:38:37.709 iSync[339] we receive the end of our sync plan
This may or may not help in your situation.

I need help on syncing groups with PC Suite. When browsing contacts with Phone Browser, I can edit/view contacts, but no info about the groups I've defined on my phone.
I've also tried syncing contacts with Lotus Notes but no groups were exported.
This is a very important feature for my job.
Thanks ,
Silvio

if you are using the ovi.com, i would suggest you get your contacts squared away and sync them elsewhere, that is going to be deleted soon, if not already.
i had issues syncing my data with nokia services for the longest time. it was good, then they "fixed" the nokia suite and it wasnt....then there was ovi suite and that botched them all too.
i used to sync directly to my outlook with the 9500, and then through my other devices until ovi suite when i grew tired of the challenges with the contacts.
eventually, i ended up signing up with office365 to get an exchange account for $5/mo.
i think that the devs for the software products only use thier nokia exchange accounts when testing, which goes around the issues that we have had.
i would create either a google account and sync there, or if you want to also sync directly to an outlook, create a live/hotmail/outlook.com email address and then download the hotmail connector application for your pc, and then it will sync your wireless devices and outlook like a free exchange server and sync contacts/calendar/email.
if you go that route, you can get the hotmail connector here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/microsoft-office-outlook-hotmail-connector-overview-HA0102...

Anybody knows? Thanks

Hi you can sync groups with Ovi suite on your computer, you can also edit them by right clicking a contact and adding to group !

Sending to a shared contact group with subgroups fail

Hello all,
I am hoping someone can help me with this one, as I have researched non stop and cannot find an answer.
SCENARIO:
Outlook 2010 (with all the latest updates)
Exchange 2010
Windows 7 x64
We are a group of 15 users. All 15 of us add a shared mailbox used for communications into our Outlook client so we can access and monitor the entire mailbox, including contacts.
When trying to send a communication to a Contact group that is in the shared mailbox contacts, it will work fine unless there is another contact group within that group (subgroup). The email will bounce back with the following error:
[email protected] #550 5.4.4 ROUTING.NoConnectorForAddressType; unable to route for address type ##
If you send to a contact group with a subgroup from your own local contacts, it works fine.
If you send to a contact group without a subgroup, it works fine.
If you log directly into the shared mailbox and send from there, it works fine.
This issue appears ONLY to occur when sending to a contact group that has a subgroup within it from a shared contact list.
Based on my investigation, it appears that Outlook is trying to look for the subgroups within the local contact list, not the location of the actual contact group itself. Perform the following steps:
Add an additional (or shared) mailbox to your Outlook profile.
In the shared mailbox contact list, create 2 contact groups. (Test 1 and Test 2).
Add Test 2 into the Test 1 group. In Test 2 group, create/add a contact. (This may easiest be done by the shared mailbox itself)
Ensure you are logged into your original profile, and Right click the Test 1 group and Create->Email.
You will notice right away if you expand the Test 1 group, it will show up Test 2 (Unknown) and if you try and double click Test 2 to see it's properties, it says it cannot find it. If you perform this same step while logged into the shared mailbox directly,
it is able to locate the contact.
Any information I have found on this bounceback references a bug where a link in an email who try to send to a contact using MAILTO instead of SMTP. However, this is not the scenario I am in.
It is currently not feasible to have everyone add all these contact groups into their own contact list, as these groups change all the time.
If anyone has any ideas how this could be fixed, or have maybe other suggestions of how to use and access groups with subgroups for communications without logging into the shared mailbox, that would be great. We are unable to login to the shared mailbox
directly anymore as we are doing away with shared passwords.
Thanks all

Hello,
How did you select the recipients when composing email? Did you click the To button and select it from the Address Book or use the auto-complete list? If you select from the auto-complete list, please try deleting the contact group from the auto-complete
list and then test again.
In addition, since the bounceback error is similar to the MAILTo bug, we may try to install the hotfix to take a chance.

Sending mail to a contact group with a numeric name

Hello!
I have a problem when sending mail to a contact group. The contact group is named "1234", and in Mail the autocompletion of the address is not performed successfully.
However, if I rename the group to "A1234" then it all works. Sounds like a bug to me.
Also, I have 31 people in my contact group. And, when adding the "A1234" group in the To: field - not all in the contact group are added. (And yes, they all have valid email addresses)
This also sounds like a bug to me. Or, am I missing something?
I should also add that when - in the address book - I select the group and "Send email to group", not all people in the group are added either...
Cheers,
/ Peter

Your email provider limits the number of email addresses you can send to at once, so it's likely you exceeded that limit, thus causing their server to hang. Check with them to find out that limit, then try reducing the number of recipients your sending to in that group to that number or less.

Syncing gmail contact groups with ipad2

I wish to sync my gmail contacts groups using microsoft exchange on the iPad2. Everything syncs correctly except the gmail groups I have created for my contacts. Anyone have a solution ?

I just set up syncing with Gmail Contacts for my wife's iPad this morning. IOS doesn't handle Groups. I've seen lots of gripes about this in many places online. I've also seen it suggested that we should suggest this as a "feature" to Apple. I'm going to look all day today for a place to do this. I hope you will, too. Good luck!

Synching gmail contact groups with the iPhone

Can I import my gmail contact groups into an iPhone/Macbook? Do I need to put them in the iContacts or some other way. Thank you..

Found out I was using Outlook 2000. Syncing won't work unless you use Outlook 2003 or higher. I got around this by going into Outlook contacts and did the following steps under the file tab I:
1-Export to file
2-Comma Separated Values (Windows)
3-Named file
4-Saved file to desktop
Then I copied the contacts file to mobile thumb and imported them to Windows Address on another computer. From there I synced with my IPhone.
I found out Windows Address mirrors anything under Outlook. Because my Outlook is old and in the wrong format using my Windows Address will do the same thing thus I needed to copy info to another computer in order to use Windows Address. I will upgrade Outlook and see how that works but for now I have a temporary fix to problem.
Hope this helps.

Delelet about 2000 contact groups with same starting sequence for name

Hi,
I have about 2000 contact GROUPS, which I need to delete. All groups start with _ModGrp and were created by a Deutsche Telekom app (according to the groups names) on my iphone and syncronized to all my devices. I´ve reported this app to apple a while back and the bug got fixed, however I still have all those groups.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

All recently created Group Chats will be Cloud based group chats. It doesn't matter whether a group is created using Skype 6.21 or 7.0 version. Obviously, all groups created using 7.0 are cloud based, because the 7.0 version was not yet available when P2P groups could still be created.
Groups created in the past using 6.21 version might still be P2P type but they can be accessed by the 7.0 version too.
However, groups created on one Skype device are not automatically added to Contact List on Skype clients installed on other devices.
As pointed out by Capreolus, the group created using 6.21 should appear in the Recent tab whenever some one sends a new message to this group, and from there it can be added to the Contact List. At least in theory, this should work. The "real life" might be unpredictable.

Contact Groups synchronization with Microsoft Outl...

It seems one of the biggest problems of the synchronization of S60 with Outlook is that it doesn't syncs contact groups with Outlook categories.
I've searched the forum, and the net, I see a lot of people searching for this and never a solution.
Is there any way of doing this (ex: external application)?
Does anybody in Nokia reads this forum, and maybe, can make this request from so many users arrive to the development team?
Miguel

With all the technology the Nokia does possess its hard to imagine that they cant provide a simple feature that seems obivous to so many users. If they would provide some opensource documentation, I would code it.
I am no programmer, but I believe I can map a string of few bytes to a symbian app after a few beers..
Come on, Nokia..
Please!

Possible to sync just ONE Gmail contact group?

So I'm wondering if it's possible to synchronize just one Gmail contact group with my Blackberry contacts. Like, I have about 15 Gmail contact groups -- one group for co-workers, one group for publicists who send me press releases, one group for friends, etc. I only want the addresses in my friends group to be sync'd with my Blackberry. Is this possible? Or do I have to let them all sync, and then manually delete the contacts I don't want from my Blackberry?

Hey eggcream,
The contact list "My Contacts" is the list that synchronizes.
You can remove this label in your Gmail contacts from those of whom you do not wish to have synchronized over.

Creating Contact Groups??

I am wondering how i can set up a contact groups with a few on my contacts so i can send the same messgae to more than 1 person at a time???

You can create contact groups with the address book on your computer that is supported for syncing contact info with your iPhone's address book, but addressing an email or an SMS to a group mailing list with the iPhone is not supported - at the present time anyway.

Why won't my Nokia N95 Sync with isync?

I am having fun and games getting my N95 to sync with my mac using the usb cable that comes with the phone.
i have downloaded the official nokia plugin from the nokia website but isync cant see the device. i also downloaded another plugin from somewhere else but this didnt work either?
i dont have bluetooth on my mac as its an old G4 quicksilver.
how do i get all my contacts from mac address book onto my phone?
please help!
many thanks!

i seem to have solved the problem, well a mr paul reames helped me. it seems to be that it just wont work with just using the usb cable.
all i did to get around this was go and buy a bluetooth dongle and now it works perfectly! all very annoying though that the cable doesnt work!
just one note though about buying a dongle. most shops say that they dont know if the dongles will work on a mac or not. this is just because on most of the packaging it never mentions whether or not its mac compatible. well i can tell you that i bought an orange dongle and it works perfectly. yiou dont even need to install anything, just plug and go.
oh and yeah i was using 10.4.9 and 2.4 of isync!
just out of interest did anyone ever get it to work with the cable?

How to recover lost contacts from address book with isync.

Hi everyone,
I've just lost all my contacts even in my Nokia N95 when I use iSync. I've deleted my contacts manually in my address book to make a refresh sync with my Nokia. After I conected again and start sync, it deleted all my contacts on my Nokia... I am very dissapointed and angry with Apple.
Can you guys help me bring back my 500 contacts in my address book so I can put back in my Nokia as well?
Thank you in advance.
Matt

Not to my knowledge. As I see it you now are in a position of manually recreating you contact list or as I previously suggested engage a professional in data recovery with no guarantee of 100% or any recovery.
I wish it were otherwise.
Ciao.

HOW CAN I CREATE A GROUP WITH MY CONTACTS FOR TEXTING

HOW CAN I CREATE A GROUP WITH MY CONTACTS FOR TEXTING

Olga, this is not a default feature in iPhone. You need a 3rd party application. I have created a free one, Easy Group, for group texting and group emailing.
