Removing "On My iPhone" Contacts group: Google (Exchange) Sync

Hi guys,
I've got all my contacts properly syncing with Google Sync.
But as soon as I set it up on the iPhone, I get this empty folder in Contacts "On My iPhone"/"All on My iPhone", as well as Exchange Contacts and Exchange Global Address List.
Then I have to change Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Contacts/Default Account to "Exchange" rather than "On My iPhone".
Is there any way to just remove "All on my iPhone" empty directory, or is it impossible with Exchange syncing?
Thanks.

Hmmm, that would work, but in iOS you can't manage the groups and such, how would I do that exactly?

  • Importing iPhone contacts onto google g-mail contacts

    So, if i add a contact onto my iPhone (name and number) SOMETIMES it syncs with Google contacts. Some don't, though, and it's really annoying. If I add a contact to my google gmail contacts then it automatically syncs with my phone. Thing is, i don't carry around my laptop, and when i see a friend and get a number or e-mail address i want to be able to make a contact with all their info on my phone, and then let it sync to my comp whenever. i thought i could figure it out myself, so i went to settings on my phone, then to *mail, contacts, calender* then scrolled down and tapped the *Import SIM Contacts* then tapped my e-mail address... but that just doubled the contacts that i already had on my phone. any one else have this problem?

    The contacts stored on the SIM card used with another phone has no affect on this. You can import contacts stored on the SIM card that was used with another phone, but that is it and where it stops in regards to the iPhone.
    Accessing a Gmail account as an Exchange account provides over the air syncing for contacts with the iPhone, but this is an entirely new protocol for Google, which I believe is still considered a BETA, which means there could be some problems until the bugs are worked out by Google and it is no longer in the BETA category.
    When syncing contacts over the air, the contacts are actually stored on the server and should be kept synchronized with the server. If you turn Contacts off for over the air syncing with your Gmail account on your iPhone, server stored contacts will removed from your iPhone since the connection with the server for this data is no longer available, and the same when deleting the account from the iPhone's Mail client.
    If contacts entered on your iPhone are not making it to the Google server, go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Select your Gmail account.
    Turn Contacts off for over the air syncing. This will remove all Google online contacts from your iPhone with a warning message provided indicating this will occur. Wait a minute or two for all Google online contacts to be removed from your iPhone. Follow this by turning Contacts back on for over the air syncing. Enter a contact on your iPhone and check if it makes it to your Google online address book.

  • IPhone contact groups iOS 7 not functional?

    I have multiple groups for contacts setup on my iMac (OS 10.5.8) which are sync'd to iCloud but on my iPhone 5 when I click on Groups all the group names are there with a check mark beside them. Clicking on the group name just removes the checkmark.
    How do I make contact groups function on my iPhone 5  iOS7.0.4?
    TIA

  • Sync iPhone Contacts Group to Outlook

    I have a iPhone that was sync with other mailing system. Now I want sync those contact to my companys outlook and it's sync succssfully. But I find that was miss the contact groups information and cannot edit it in the outlook. It's strange that the iTurn can display the contact group information but it's cannot be found in the outlook.
    What is the problem?
    Thanks!

    i have a new iphone as of last week -- had all my contacts in outlook 2007 in one group and synced them. then i figured out I could create groups in folders-- which would make searching easier on the iphone. i did that and they show up in itunes and sync perfectly.
    fyi -- (i couldn't get "contact groups" to work -- i had to create new folders in outlook contacts instead of groups. that may help the problems listed in this thread.)
    now, i'm trying to figure out how to "delete" the initial contacts (that are all of my contacts in one group) from the iphone and leave them on outlook.
    i'm working with outlook 2007 and a pc. the initial sync in essence duplicates all of my contacts and is unnecessarily taking up space on the iphone.
    any ideas?

  • Force iPhone to put newly added contacts under iPhone contact group

    I want to be able to have my iphone put a newly added contact under my iphone contacts and not all contacts. Is there a way to force iphone to do this? I am using mobile me, think I remember hearing someone mention a setting in itunes for this. Don't have this option with mobile me.
    Thanks,
    Toby

    I agree with Oregon Farmer. All Contacts contain all contacts from every created group (i.e. "iPhone contacts"), so once you add a contact into "iPhone Contacts", the same info is placed in the "All Contacts" group. Sort of like "Music" in library and playlists.
    There used to be an option on the iTunes, but from this website, it suggests that option was for the original iPhone http://www.apple.com/mobileme/setup/iphone/mac.html
    I was browsing around looking for a way to add a new contact (i.e. from my recent calls list) directly into the "iPhone Contacts", rather than it going automatically only into the "All Contacts" list. If anyone has an idea, I'd appreciate it. I'm also using Mobileme.

  • How to delete the group "On My iPhone" Contacts Group

    My wide and I use the same computer. iTunes is set up to Synch my iPhone to Outlook. My wife's iPhone was connected to iTunes and uploaded all Outlook Contacts to her iPhone in the "On My iPhone Contacts". How can I delete all contacts in this Group "On My iPhone"?

    Hi sandeepvaja,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you have a lot of other data on the iPhone. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    If you get a "Not enough free space" alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Orphaned files might remain on your iOS device if it's physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, you might see a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device in the Capacity indicator in iTunes. Try these steps:
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • Contact "GROUPS" won't sync via MobileMe "over the air"

    I am having a problem. I just bought an iPod Touch (the latest model). I have upgrade to the latest iOS version. When I use MobileMe over the air syncing to sync my Address Book contacts, I don't get my groups. When I choose "Groups" it's empty and I can't get back to "all contacts." It does sync all my contacts though.
    However, when I turn off the MobileMe sync, and sync it manually, by checking "Sync Address Book Contacts" in iTunes, I get my groups back. I have an iPhone 4, and this isn't issue present. Maybe it's an iPod issue?
    I only see groups if I "check" sync. Any ideas? Again, iPhone 4 works fine.
    Bryan

    Who knows what the problem was... I removed groups in Address Book, MobileMe had different ones, iPod different ones, etc... MobileMe needs some work. After an hour, I had to delete the groups then recreate them, then everything seemed to work fine.

  • Cannot sync iphone contacts to itunes to sync with address book

    need to import iPhone contacts into new mac.trying to use iTunes, but it is not syncing. Tried mobile me, no luck. Help

    What is the problem?
    Why not move everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one?
    If you sync your iphone to a blank computer, then the contacts will be erased.

  • Troubleshooting-iPhone contact and safari bookmarks syncing on mac - help!

    I did the update this morning. Everything is working fine but the syncing of my contacts [address book] and the safari bookmarks. they do not change at all when i try doing a syncing. I have more bookmarks in my safari mac than on the iPhone safari. the same happens with my contacts - if I update the information directly on my computer and try syncing it to the iPhone it does not update the info. Can anyone help? thanks.

    mfoto,
    Sync History is what keeps track of what has been synced and what has been changed.
    As a first step you might want to try reseting sync history as mentioned in this article:

  • How can I remove photos from iPhone...when I synced to another computer, it loaded up a ton a pictures from the laptop that I did not want on my phone

    Help!  I have 4 different computers that I plug my iPhone 4 into from time to time.  I just synced it with a laptop that I haven't plugged into for a long while, and it overloaded my phone with a ton of pictures from the computer that I did not want or need on my phone.  When I went to PHOTOS on my iTunes, and checked "sync checked folders only", it says it will replace the photos on my phone.  I'm not sure this is what I want...I don't want to lose the photos on my phone.  I have over 3000 on there!

    You can sync photos and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time.  When you sync to another, it will erase the current content and  replace with content from the new computer.
