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.

How to delete a contact group on the iPhone?

Hello!
I've been searching for a way to delete a contact group on the iPhone, but I was not able to find one. The only answers I have found tried to tell me that it is not possible to do this on the iPhone. But I can hardly believe that the people at Apple would be so stupid not to include such a thing, as there are iPhone users who do not own a computer. How should they manage their contacts?
So, would someone please be so kind and tell me how to delete a contact group on the device?
TIA,
Jan

HT204150 I have only 2 choices for contact groups on the iPhone 5, hotmail and iCloud. If I click both then I have all my hotmail contacts which I don't want. However if I only click iCloud, any new contacts I add don't show up :(

Only contacts added to the iCloud group will sync with iCloud. To make this your default, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...scroll down to the Contacts section and tap Default Account. Here, choose iCloud as your default. After doing so, new contacts will be added to iCloud and sync with your iCloud account.

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!

How do I create multiple contact groups in the iphone?

I am syncing w/ Windows Contacts in Vista. Is it possible to create multiple groups of contacts? For example - a group for friends and family, another group for customers, etc...

I do it by setting up different categories in Outlook. These sync as groups to the iPhone
I created groups and organized all my contacts into the groups using Outlook. However, the iPhone doesn't give me the option to view the contacts in groups, nor does it even mention or list the group name when you view the contacts individually.

How to get gmail contacts "groups" into the Touch

In gmail I have my contacts organized into in groups. When I sync, all the contacts show up but the gmail groups structure is not there. The groups page on the Touch lists "All Contacts", "All from my PC", etc. This is completely useless. Is there a way to preserve Google groups on the Touch? thanks

How are you accessing gmail on the iPhone?
If you are simply going to the mobile site, there is no way to accomplish what you want.
If you have it set up as POP3 or IMAP4, these only pull email, not contacts.
You can set up Gmail as an exchange account and sync contacts, calendar, and mail.

Gmail contact group

I would like to use the part of gmail contacts (gmail contacts group) in my iPhone. The contacts should be synced.
As far as i understand, this is not possible without apps like Smart Contacts Sync for Google Account.
Has anyone successfully tried? I would appreciate post from people who have tried and it worked.
IOS 6.1.4
iTunes 11.0.063

Is it really not related? I forgot to write:
It was possible to select contacts for syncing In the older iTunes version, I read about it, but have not tried with older versions.
Now, version 11 it is not possile any more. I am suprised noone had those problems.

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.

Question about synching gmail contacts with address book

*My question is*..............
I'm planning on getting an iphone in half a year and if i mess with these settings will i have to change them back to be able to synch my iphone? or will my iphone be able to synch with the way the new settings are anyway?
Thanks

Does your question have anything remotely to do with iWeb 09? This is an iWeb 09 forum - did you not look where you were posting?
No - so it is not relevant to this forum. Please post in somewhere that is more relevant, such as the iPhone forum or the iPad forum.

Hi there,
Unfortunately the use case you describe hasn't been implemented in Firefox. It's not possible to move a tab group out to its own window at this point. Generally the tab groups feature hasn't been worked on much recently, not sure why.
As to TabMixPlus, that's a third-party add-on which Mozilla doesn't directly support. You can find support links from the add-on page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
David

I'm having trouble synching my Outlook Calendar with my iPhone iniTunes
We use Outlook in my office so it’s the only Calendar I use, so I can share inter-office
Used to use Mobile Me and I terminated that. Prior to this Outlook synched fine.
Prior to having my iPhone I only had one type of Calendar in Outlook
I know have 'Calendar 5' on my Outlook, but that doesn't show up on my iPhone.
iPhone does give me several other numbered Calendars – but no ‘Calendar 5’
I need to figure a way to get all this synched correctly
very frustrating!

I want to upload a photo taken with my iPhone 3GS to a yahoo group with the phone. Is this possible?

Can you take a photo with the iPhone3GS, then upload it to a yahoo group using the iPhone?
Byron

What Carolyn says is correct. You can, however, share an Internet connection with your iPhone wirelessly by turning in Internet sharing (found in System Preferences > Sharing.) If your MacBook Pro is already using a wireless connection, you can just connect to the same wireless network it is using.
Best of luck.
