Organizing contacts into subfolders

Ok, so now while we are on contacts, is there a way to utilize the "category" feature in contacts and have subfolders for types of contacts so I have more than just a laundry list of contacts? Let's call it a "playlist of contacts" by Genre?

Wow, that is a good question, and I don't think that you can.
I just read the manual for the iPod Contact section and see no mention of being able to categorize them.
Maybe future iPod software releases will have this function??

  • Organizing music into subfolders?

    Hi!
    Music store offers subfolders for »sets« within a complete work.
    like organizing i.e. Vivaldi’s 4 Seasons into »work 1: spring« and then putting the 3 sets beneath it; with the possibility to open/close it with the little triangle left in line.
    Can I rearrange my own music in this way?
    Any Suggestions?
    Thanks,
    susn

    matthew is right. you cannot actually move your music into folders as such in itunes, but you can create the impression by creating several playlists (lists of music tracks in itunes) and then put these lists into a folder. to create a new playlist choose file>new playlist. then drag some tracks from your itunes library into the playlist (which you will see down the left hand side). keep creating new playlists, and then create a folder that you will put them in. do this from file>new folder. you should now be able to drag and drop your playlists into this new folder. you can even create folders within folders by creating a new folder and then dragging and dropping it into an existing folder.
    hope this helps.

  • I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

    I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

    WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
    Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

  • 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.

  • How can I import all my gmail contacts into iPad? I use iPad mini and the solutions available on the web are not compatible.

    How can I import all my gmail contacts into iPad? I use iPad mini and the solutions available on the web are not compatible.

    Hello and thanks for the answer.
    I meant by "not compatible" that all the solutions that I found on the web did not work, especially the "Microsoft exchange" one.
    Fortunately I found on the comments of the first website you mentioned the right answer for me, which I copy below:
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add CardDav Account.
    Enter the following information in the fields:
    Server: google.com
    User Name: Enter your full Google email address
    Password: Your Google account password
    Select Next at the top of the screen to complete the setup.
    After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically.
    Additional Information
    Note: Make sure that SSL is enabled (under Advanced settings), and that the port is 443.
    If you are using application based special password go to https://accounts.google.com/Se... and instead of your password put that special code and u r done.

    Runnig 10.6.8 on a MacBook PRO.....

    The easiest fix if you're running Snow Leopard is to export all your contacts, then import them into something like google (I already had a gmail account), and then just use google to sync your contacts instead of icloud (via the sync with Google button in the address book settings).
    Its a bit sluggish to update, but it works well.  You can then point your iphone, and other iOS devices to use google for contacts too.
    If Apple don't want to look after their customers, other companies will gladly do so....

  • 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.

  • How can I move all my contacts into a single email group from all the other group?

    I've got several email accounts, but my contacts are spread across them. Of course, when I access or search my contacts they do all get searched together, but I need to delete an account and this will result in me losing many contacts.
    So before I do this, I want to consolidate all my contacts into my main personal email group account. But short of doing them one by one, I can't find a way and I have several thousand contacts at risk of being lost.
    Can anyone advise me?

    Go to your Contacts on your Mac - if more than one pick the most accurate; delete any contacts you don't want. Select all the contacts, and from the File menu choose 'Export...'>'Export vCard'. Save the resultant file safely: it will be your 'master' list.
    Now delete all the contacts from whichever device has the most in it. Sync with iCloud. If necessary repeat with different Macs. The result should be that the deletions sync to iCloud and in the end you finish up with empty Contacts lists everywhere.
    Now you can import your saved file to one of your Macs. Make sure you import it under 'iCloud' not 'On My Mac'. Then it should propagate iCloud and any other devices. Keep the saved file at least until you are satisfied that all is in order.

  • How do I copy or export my mobileme contacts into a hotmail account

    How do I copy or export my mobileme contacts into a hotmail account.  I thought this could be done through Outlook 2010 but it can't as far as I can see

    The best way is to copy the iTunes library from your Mac to the PC, so you will move everything, not only your songs. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751 (You have to do the "Restoring your iTunes Library backup" step on the PC)

  • How can I import iPhone contacts into Mac Address book

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and am in the process of trying to dump my Windows PC.
    All of my important contacts are on my iPhone. How can I get those contacts into my Mac Address Book?
    The same question goes for the music (ripped from CD) and my video files that are on my iPhone? The media is not that big of a deal because I can easily transfer it from my PC to my Mac but I assume I am not the only one in the world trying to do this and that Apple would make it very easy for MSFT Windows users to easily migrate to Macs.
    I must be an idiot but I don't see any option in iTunes to transfer the data from my iPhone into iTunes and/or the Address Book.
    Thanks

    The iPhone's primary function is NOT a word processor or a spread sheet analyzer.
    I didn't say, nor was I trying to imply ANYTHING of the sort. You should read what I provided again a little slower and in it's entirety, not taking this out of context, which you made into Apples and Oranges.
    It IS an iPod, a device designed to store and play music (in addition to being a browser and a phone).
    It is a phone, an iPod, and an internet device, which supports transferring iTunes content from iTunes on a single computer ONLY.
    Making it difficult to transfer my legal music from my iPhone to my Mac does not make me want to go out and buy more Apple products or Apple software.
    Good, then don't - no skin off my back. I couldn't care less if you want to remain a Windows sufferer. All this doesn't come from Apple. Much of it comes from those who OWN the distribution rights for content sold thru the iTunes Store.
    All of Apple's commercials imply how easy the user experience is over Windows. Well, in this case, they missed the boat BIG TIME!
    Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but let me get this straight. You will likely need to transfer much more than just music from your Windows PC to your Mac and if so, how do you plan on accomplishing this? If you are transferring Word and Excel files, photos, and any other data, you won't be using an iPhone for this, so I don't see the big deal with transferring your iTunes library along with all other data being transferred.
    I understand that the iPhone was not designed to be used as a backup. However, you allow the contacts to be merged in but not the music that I legally installed (but didn't purchase from the iTunes store).
    I don't allow anything - this is a user to user help forum only.
    As I provided in my first post in this thread - the sync process for contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks with an iPhone is bidirectional with the supported application on your computer. This is a sync process by definition of syncing - which is not the same for other data such as iTunes content and photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
    Apple wants to make it difficult unless I purchased the music from iTunes.
    No, Apple or really those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders for content sold thru the iTunes Store wants to make this difficult. Content sold thru the iTunes Store is set up by Apple to be a break even - which is included with the Apple stockholder's report. Apple makes their profit via sales of the iPod and iPhone. The bulk of the iTunes Store revenue goes to those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders for the content.
    In addition, if my hard disk suffered a crash and I lost all my music it just seems stupid not to be able to pull it off my iPhone (yes, I know data should be backed up on a different drive, and mine is, but I am sure a lot of people do not back up their data).
    Maintaining a backup of your data is important for this very reason, and for other reasons which is not Apple's responsibility. I believe iTunes includes an occasional warning message to backup your iTunes library (which can be turned off), and iTunes includes an option to transfer content purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone - since the overwhelming majority of this content includes DRM protection required by those who own the distribution rights or the copyright holders.
    The iPhone was not designed as an external storage device or as a backup device - end of story. If someone chooses not to maintain a backup, they are playing Russian roulette with their data. Maintaining a backup is important regardless the platform, but even more so when running Windows with constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns.

  • Importing Shared Contacts into the Global Address List (Outlook 2013)

    A colleague of mine has made a contact list which is going to be shared with other colleagues to increase productivity.
    His question is, if it's possible to import the contact list into the Global Address List after it has been shared?
    The contact list does not appear in my Global Address List, instead it appears in the People section (next to Calender).
    If you need technical info about the office version etc., feel free to ask!
    Thanks in advance.

    SP-Brown,
    You can import contacts into Active Directory, so that it can be included in GAL. There are some gotchas with that however. Maybe, a simple Outlook folder sharing is more convenient for you. You can share Outlook Contacts folders among collagues just the
    same as Outlook Calendar sharing works. Start here:
    https://support.office.com/en-au/article/Share-an-Outlook-calendar-with-other-people-cafb9303-1b1e-40d3-839d-b6abac03a5e8
    https://support.office.com/en-in/article/Share-a-contacts-folder-with-others-58ca1290-e170-4f89-a213-03aa6750bcf3
    With Exchange Public Folders you can achieve somewhat the same.
    If you really want to mess with AD and the GAL, this is your article:

    The ideal situation would be if the shared Contacts Folder shows up in the Offline GAL, but I'll try to fiddle around with it for a bit. 
    Is there also a possibilty that users can import a contact list so that appears in their Offline GAL?, I do think that it might be a hassle to keep the contacts updated....
