Sync only selected contact groups via Bluetooth to Mercedes Benz

Hi
I understand that it is possible to create "groups" of contacts in the address book program on my MacBook Pro and then choose to sync either all or just selected groups to my iphone.
If I do sync all of these groups to my iphone (which I want) is it then possible to sync only "one" group (just the essential numbers) to my Mercedes via bluetooth?
Thanks
Gregg

I am wondering the same thing.
I have the iPhone and a Mercedes Benz, with the Bluetooth v60 Puck. The car will only receive 100 contacts but I have no way of knowing which 100 will be uploaded.
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Can iSync sync only selected contacts?

I want to use iSync with my new cell phone, but my address book on my Mac is much larger than on my phone.
I don't want to include everyone on my Mac on my phone.
Is there any way to tell iSync to sync only selected contacts or contact groups?
Thanks,
David

Click on your phones icon in iSync, and choose which groups to sync from the list that appears. Edit the groups in Address Book.

Syncing to selected contact group wants to delete files outside of it

Hello -
I am trying to sync my iPhone contacts to my address book in a specific way. In my address book, I have my personal contacts - friends and family. I also have mailing list subscribers (which gets into the 1,000s - people with whom I am not personally connected). I copied all of my personal contacts into a separate group and selected that group under the iPhone sync options in iTunes. I also checked the box marked "add contacts created outside of groups in this iPhone to" and again chose the special "personal contacts only" group.
However, when I go to actually sync, I get a pop-up box saying that so many contacts will be added (to my laptop), so many contacts will be modified, and so many contacts will be deleted. Which ones are getting deleted? All the ones that are not on my phone, so basically all of my mailing list, non-personal contacts.
Isn't the point of syncing specific contact groups so that you can have your phone dialogue with that particular folder and nothing else - leaving anything outside of that folder alone?
Just to test it out though, I changed the sync setting to "all contacts" to see what would happen, and I get the same message (it's basically going to delete anything that's on my laptop, but not currently on my phone). Why does this happen? Isn't the whole idea of synchronization that the two devices end up having the same file lists? How can I get the iPhone to populate any contacts I added on it to a specific group on my laptop, and vice versa. Seems like they should populate each others lists with missing pieces, rather than one taking the other one over and deleting, well, anything (unless I tell it to).
And no, I do not have any of the advanced overwrite functions enabled.
Does anybody have a solution to this problem? I'd like to sync my contacts, but obviously don't need 2,000 names of people I don't personally know taking up space on my phone.
Thanks for any advice you all can provide!

I think MobileMe is all or nothing--I asked a chat agent a few months back, and that was the case, haven't seen any reports or UI changes.
Send them feedback--it would be great to select Groups and Calendars.

Sync iPod Touch with iTunes via bluetooth

I would like to sync my "touch" with iTunes via Bluetooth. This would eliminate the need to plug in the USB cable each time I carry out this activity. Can someone explain to me why Apple has decided not to implement this? Will the next release of iTunes support this? Or, does it require some kind of a third part app to do this?

HT1386 How can I sync only selected playlists from my library in iTunes to iPhone?

Option to sync only selected playlists is grayed out in iTunes for my iPhone. How can I make it so I don't have to sync my entire library?

know this might sound silly
but make sure that
1) sync music is checked
2) you have playlist with songs in them
3) your songs have some sort of sorting form on them (artist, genre, album, etc.)
also try
rebooting pc and device and reconnecting
if all else fails, redownload itunes

Is it possible to set up my iPhone 5 as a new phone and sync ONLY my contacts and apps from my iPhone 4?

Is it possible to set up my iPhone 5 as a new phone and sync ONLY my contacts and apps from my iPhone 4? Or do I have to set up my iPhone 5 by using my iPhone 4 backup (I'd rather not)?

Contacts are not stored in a backup, so a restore will not bring them in. Contacts, along with all the other Apple databases (log into icloud.com with a browser and look at the various pages - this is what I call the Apple databases) are contained in their own locations on the servers. You should be able to take a new device, go to Settings>iCloud, log in to the icloud account, then turn on the services (e.g. contacts) you want to sync. They will then be synced to the device. That has nothing to do with a restore and with the old iphone 4. As for apps, their listing and locations on the screens are stored in a backup. If you don't restore, then go to the itunes app store, look under Purchased Apps and download them again.

Want to sync only selected calendars to MobileMe - Is there a workaround?

Hi everyone,
does anyone know of a workaround to sync only some of my iCal calenders to MobileMe? I know that Apple does not support syncing only selected calendars to MobileMe. But surely someone must have found a way to accomplish this?
At work, I rely heavily on iCal. I use it for all kinds of stuff, from GTD to logging the billable hours spent on my clients' projects. However, I do not want to have all this stuff cluttering my iCal at home nor my iPhone. I only want to take my appointment calendar with me! (I know, with the iPhone this can be accomplished by syncing through iTunes instead of MobileMe - but then why do I pay for MobileMe in the first place?!?) I was hoping that this all-or-nothing sync would be a thing of the past with OSX 10.6, but nada...
Any help, anyone?
Best regards

HTML5 output needs IE11. But since you are publishing it as SWF as well, this output should work on older versions of IE.
So, I guess the issue is something else. You can try uploading your course to SCORM Cloud and test it there. If it works, then the issue is on the LMS front.

HT1386 how can i sync only my contacts thru my computer but everything else with icloud

1st make sure that iTunes will not sync iPhone automatically
on iTunes go to Edit>preferences> Devices > check "prevent iDevice from syncing automatically"

> on iTunes click your iPhone's name
> then untick everything you don't want to be synced line music,movies,apps,calendars, mails
leave 'sync contacts' ticked
then you should be fine

Export contact info via Bluetooth to auto

My Toyota Highlander can receive contact information via Bluetooth but I can't find any way to transmit it from my iPhone. Any ideas?

You can check on the Toyota website what your compatibility is. I've got a 2007 RAV4, and it won't accept data from the iPhone via Bluetooth, although it will dial numbers.

How to sync Outlook 2010 Contact Groups to my iPad and iPhone

I am trying to figure out how to sync my Outlook 2010 contact groups to my iPad and iPhone. Also how do you manage the groups once on the device? Seems they can only be selected and not edited. I can get my Good contact group and my Windows Contacts contact group to sync but not my Outlook 2010 groups. Any ideas?

Mac solution. No idea if works on PC:
Work Around:
On your mac:
1. Open a new email
2. Insert name of an existing group into one of the "To" fields as usual.
3. Highlight all the resulting names in the "To" entry
     [Highlight first name, and while holding shift, highlight last name and all will highlight[]
4. Copy (Command C) the highlighted emails
5. Paste (Command V) nto a pages document
6. Remove the name and anything else preceeding the first < and also the first < of only the first entry whixh will look like this:
     [email protected]>,
7. Remove the > of the last email which will look like this:
     , Jane Doe <[email protected]
8. Copy the entire altered list from the pages document
9, Go to Contact Book and click + to add a new entry
10.. Name the entry (XXX Group for iPad) or whatever you wish to call it
11. Paste all the copied altered list into any one of the email entry spaces
12. Click on "Done"
13. Create new email On iPad and click on + in any one of the "To" lines and search for "XXX Group for iPad" You cannot just key in XXX Group for iPad!!!!!!!, you must use + contact search.
14. Enter the selected iPad contact group into the "To" line.
15. All the entries will now appear in the "To" line and you are good to go.
Adding or deleting email addresses from the iPad group:
Easiest: Alter the original mac group in the usual way and repeat steps 1-14 above. It seems impossible to edit within the emai line of the iPad contact entry.
Rediculously simple once figured out.
Happy emailling, but please send Bcc so that you don't spread your groups' email addresses all over the internet for spam, viruses, and other unwanted emails. Be considerate and ask your recipients to notifiy you if they wish to be deleted from the lists you compose.

Is there a way to sync only existing contacts with my facebook friends so I don't gain any unwanted people?

I want to sync only my existing contacts, and not gain all of my facebook friends. Is it possible?

If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.
