Separate business and personal contacts/calendar on Exchange enabled phone?

I'm a new iPhone user (3gsi) with Exchange support enabled. What I would like to do is manage my business and personal contacts and calendar separately with work items syncing with Exchange and personal items with something else (like Google Calendar/Contacts). Is it possible to separate this way and possibly even manage it all together using the existing calendar and contact apps? I am not interested in the MobileMe service.
Example - I add a personal contact and I dont want it to sync with Exchange, but Google contacts would be nice. Or I add a calendar item that I want to sync with Google calendar instead of Exchange.
Thx!

With an Exchange account syncing business contacts and calendar events over the air, you can also sync personal contacts and calender events direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process. You can view business and personal contacts and calendar events combined or separately on the iPhone.
With Windows, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007. With a Mac, this can be with the Address Book and iCal.
Or you can sync personal contacts and calendar events over the air with a MobileMe account while doing the same for business contacts and calendar events with an Exchange account.
You can access a Gmail account as an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the iPhone's Mail client, which provides for syncing personal contacts and calendar events over the air, but you can't access two Exchange accounts via ActiveSync with the iPhone's Mail client. This is not supported with ActiveSync with a Windows Mobile device either.

Keeping Business and Personal Contacts Separate?

I have a MS Exchange account at work and use Entourage for my personal contacts on my home computer.
Would it be possible to have both sets of info sync to my phone? I know the iphone has active sync for the Exchange data but then, would it be possible to sync with my home computer without having them then uploaded to my company's exchange server next time activesync connects?
I imagine a lot of people would want to do something like this??

Business and personal contacts

I use my iphone5 for business and personal. I want to have 2 completely separate lists for business and personal contacts. I know I can use groups but I want 2 completely separate lists, 2 different buttons on the screen.

Then look for an app in the app store, as iOS does not provide what you're looking for.

Separating business and personal contacts

I recently moved to a BlackBerry Curve from a Palm Treo. Our company used to use Goodlink to sync data from Outlook to my device. In order to keep my personal contact information private I created a separate contacts folder in Outlook which did not sync with my company's servers. I then used PocketMirror to sync the extra file to the phone. It wasn't the cleanest solution as I had business contacts in Goodlink and personal contacts in the phone's contact file, but it worked.
I want to keep my personal contact information off of my company's server. Is there any way to do this with the Curve?

Separate Work and personal CONTACTS (not BB Balance)

Is there an alternative way to have separate CONTACTS (work and personal) in a BB Z10 for us whom do not have BB Balance. I just want this for the contacts, and perhaps the text messages, I do not need the security and all other features that Balance or a BES provides... If not, do you guys know if BLACKBERRY is planning on doing this for a future update? Seems like a very useful feature...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Open Contacts, at the bottom - All, Search, select 'New Group' create Group Name then add contacts.
Suggest you name them 1business and 1private etc., then the groups will be at the top of the list. Existing contacts will just be duplicated in Groups.

Separating business and personal contacts ie. groups

I find it somewhat surprising that the iOS Contacts doesn't support grouping if any form since it is available in the OS X version. Namely of course, as it is used in OS X, this is beneficial for multi-recipient communication. I figure this would be rather easily extended to iOS as well.
Personally I'd like to use it to separate my personal and my business contacts. With that in mind, I'd also like to see these features:
the ability to set Company as a visible field when receiving an incoming call (ie. I don't necessarily remember all my business contacts by name, but their company name would add needed context to figure out who I'm about to talk to)
the ability to view all contacts or by group in Contacts
the ability to limit group access by time and/or date, and specifically the remove certain groups from Spotlight results in a preset time frame and/or even disable calling/messaging all together. In practice, I rarely have a need to access my business contacts' information outside of office hours and this would prevent any accidental calls or messaging and declutter my fairly long list of contacs
the ability to assign different ring tones for different groups
and of course, the ability to send messages to all the contacts in a specific group
So all in all, merely support groups and then add a few features around that.
I've sent this to Apple's feedback but maybe if this gets some support here too they'll react (I have no idea how much Apple participates here).

I have business and personal e-mail accounts with different contacts. Can I have more than one address book on my iPhone?

Set up an additional user account and use one for work and one for personal stuff - each will have a separate address book. Turn on fast user switching for easy switching between the two.

My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac. We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes. How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

Thanks!

Hi vichochile,
If you are having an issue with syncing your new iPhone with the information that is in iCloiud (and on your other devices) we should make sure that iCloud is set up correctly on the iPhone. See this page for directions -
Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Just upped to ML and the Contact panel doesn't enable the selection buttons

Just upped to ML and the Contact panel doesn't enable the selection buttons.
To get my address selection to the e-mail it must be dragged and dropped.

Thanks sberman for reply,
No he hasn't. I've tested this with other contacs. If someone is already in my facebook cantacts and I receieve an email from him, but he hasn't included that email address in his facebook account, if I add this new email to his contact card, his picture frame will not appear in mail app. I can see his both facebook and other email address in the contact card.

BlackBerry Link and syncing Contacts, Calendar and Tasks with stand-alone desktop installation of Outlook 2010?

I have used Blackberries in business since the beginning. Fantastic products!
Sadly after spending the better part of Feb 6th transitioning from Torch to Z10 I have had to abandon the effort and request an RMA number to return the Z10.
Here is why:
"Link" appears to be focussed on syncing documents and media like content such as music and movies but does not, from what I can tell, sync Outlook Contacts, Calendar entries or Tasks. I have never bothered putting music or movies on a BB... never had the time to fuss with such... however, I use, edit and sync my Contacts, Calendar and Tasks between my Torch and my desktop PC every day... as in EVERY day!
From a review of postings on various forums there does not appear to be a solution in the works to this problem and the trend appears to be to use a Cloud based email or service to host such "PIM" information and then sync the handheld to the Cloud repository. This method MAY be suitable for some forms of info but it is not suitable to post such personal info on the cloud... it needs to stay on the desktop and in the handheld device, both of which are password protected and looked after carefully.
This is an odd situation, BB (RIM) cut their teeth on pages, emails, BBM and great cell calls, mainly in a business environment. Many small business users live and die on their BB. They do not run Exchange Server... they run Outlook stand alone on a desktop. To remove this functionality from the Z10 (BB10 overall perhaps) seems at best to be a serious oversight.
I wish BB the best with the Z10 and hope to see it do well. For me, I had to make a choice between the efficiency and effectiveness of syncing Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks with the Torch, or hand feeding and maintaining thousands of constantly changing entries into what is undoubtedly a more powerful and wonderful looking Z10. Efficiency and effectiveness won over brawn and beauty. The Torch is back on line... It's a tool... a really great tool! Tomorrow it will process a hundred emails, numerous SMS messages, a few BBM's, keep me on time and feed me a bunch of useful phone numbers and addresses as it has for a couple of years now. It will also spend an hour or so teathered to my laptop at a remote location where there is cell coverage but no internet. It will NOT display any movies, tweats, twits, or facebook stuff that I won't have time to look at anyway. The fast, powerful, shiny Z10 is heading in an RMA bag back to Telus.
I have a sort of sick feeling in my gut and hope to be able to sync again in the future!

Both business and personal icloud acts on one device?

I have a personal iCloud account that I use for business on my iPhone and the business Computer...Can I create an iCloud account for business and keep them separate or am I stuck with having everything personal (notes, calendars etc.) on the business computer? And if so, if I delete the personal account off my phone, does my contacts stay on the phone?

You can add a second account in System Preferences/Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars. The data will appear alongside the original account; you won't get 'Push' email - it will check the server periodically - and you can't use PhotoStream with the secondary account.
Signing out of an iCloud removes the data from the device because it all lives on the server and is read from there by the device (like webmail). When you sign back in it reappears.
You might want to think about business use though: iCloud is positioned for personal use - the email service has no telephone support and no guaranteed uptime, and using an @icloud.com address indicates that you are using a free service. If I were in business I would use a proper business account with full support (it might still be cheaper than business lost through any mail outages) and my own domain name for the address (which isn't expensive).

ActiveSync and Personal Contact Groups for Mobile (incl Windows Phone)

Hello,
As more MDM's (including BES10, Airwatch, native Windows Phone etc - besides Good For Enterprise) are moving towards EAS for enterprise e-mail sync, and I myself have 2 devices which have forced me to use EAS, I noticed that the various personal contact
groups that I've created in Outlook are no longer available from these devices. Only on my BES 7 blackberry torch can I still find the personal distribution lists a.k.a. contact groups (not from GAL, but created in outlook) to appear, probably since it doesn't
use EAS.Is there a way to enable syncing personal distribution lists? It seems to be a real productivity killer to not have this ability and to try and remember the group's members or select them especially for larger lists each time.
Thank you

Thanks for the reply (although the link you provided is referencing using Outlook 2013 for Outlook.com type hosted accounts). My situation is Outlook in an on-prem enterprise Exchange environment but with mobile devices that connect to exchange via EAS.
If the response is still the same, then my follow up question is - why not? And what is the alternative to "contact groups" in the EAS world?

Multiple skype accounts - business and personal.

I have used skype for quite some time now, and I have a personal account that I always use. However my company is requiring that I log in my business account from time to time and use the Skype Business client. Are there any major differences between the business and free client? Can I login my personal account from the business client?

No, the system isn't setup to let us do things like that...this question comes up very frequently and there just isn't a work-around.
Maybe you should try pinging Apple with feedback, especially from the enterprise side, and see if that helps.
