Syncing contacts with groups from Torch to Mac

We have a BlackBery Torch, the latest operating system for Apple (OSX Lion), the latest update of BlackBerry Desktop software and the latest update on the Torch.
When we perform a sync from the Torch, it syncs all contacts but without the groups. How do you sync contacts with groups? To clarify, the contacts are in groups on the BlackBerry.
Thanks!

Anyone ever experience syncing contacts with groups on a Mac?

Transferring iCloud Contacts with Groups to "On My Mac"

Hi
All my contacts/groups were accidentally transferred to iCloud through my mistake.
How am I able to transfer everything back including the groups to "On My Mac" while removing iCloud from my contacts?
I was able to export my contacts, however I'm unsure how to export the groups too.
Thank You

Hello David
Check out the article below to go through and backup up your data from iCloud. Once there you can import them into the Contacts app on your Mac by going to the drop down menu File > Import...

How do I stop Google from attempting to sync contacts with my iMac?

Hey folks, i'm new to Mac and keep getting this annoying sync notice that if I allow Google Contants to sync it will change pretty much all my contacts. First off, I'm not really sure what contacts it's trying to sync with. Is it trying to sync with my iCloud contacts? i don't think i have any contact info saved on my hard disk. Second, i have searched the discussion threads about this topic and see posts saying i need to go to Address Book > Preferences > and uncheck Google Sync....but the only Address Book i am aware of is the app labeled "Contacts" which holds everything from my iCloud account. Is Address Book a separate app/database?

I don't know if this helps much, but Address Book was basically the same application in a previous version of the Mac OS. Folks still seem to use the terms interchangably though. Similarly, Calendar used to be "iCal."
I believe syncing contacts with Google or iCloud is an either/or proposition - you can't do both. When you sync with either, a copy is saved to your Mac for faster access (like a web browser's cache). I believe there's still an option to save contacts exclusively to your Mac (HD), but I don't think it's either preferred or occurs by default if you have an account such as Gmail/google or iCloud already set up.
I've never played with preferences in Contacts (Address Book), but I do have both google and iCloud accounts associated with my Mac. Under System Preferences:Mail, Contacts & Calendars, you can specify what accounts do on your Mac. If you have multiple accounts set up, a list will appear on the left side. As you select each one, a list of check boxes appear to the right for each service you want to associate with that account. For example, I have an iCloud account for mail, calendars, contacts, and Safari (among others). I have a Gmail account for mail, although it gives me the option of using this account for calendars, etc. For Gmail, the only item I have checked is mail. It's never asked me if I wanted to sync my addresses with Google.
I hope this helps... at least a little. If nothing else, I hope I've solved the "Address Book" mystery ;-)

You can sync via icloud. You cannot sync contacts via the cable.

Synced contacts with PC and shouldnt have - how to remove

I recetnly synced on my PC and had the sync contacts with outlook checked, and should not have. Now my iPhone shows a group of contacts titled "On my PC" above the group now labeled "On MobileMe". MobileMe is my contacts and calendar that i sync with. Is there a way to remove this group "On My PC" from my iphone?
Thanks
Mike

OK, first you're on the Windows forum so we can't really help you with a Mac.
Second save the backup, wipe, and start over is the correction and it's a pain.
Even if you have to do it one entry at a time you can get it all back.

Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud

Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud. The only way to do is to have a local copy of address book. What else can I do (before BB will fix the bug)?

Ah! This explains why I have been tearing my hair out for the past 24 hours trying to get my contacts from Address Book to my new BB Torch!
I found a workaround for a one-time sync:
1. go into Address Book prefs and temporarily change Default account from iCloud to On My Mac (this makes the "All on My Mac" category visible)
2. Go back into your contacts window, select all of your contacts, and copy them to All on My Mac (this will create duplicates of everything)
3. Sync the BB.
3. Return to prefs to change default account back to iCloud, and select all the contacts in All on My Mac and delete them, thereby removing all duplicates.
This solution only works for a one-time sync and needs to be repeated for future syncs.
Let's hope BB comes up with an iCloud compatible update ASAP!

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.0, I can no longer sync Contacts and Calendar from my iMac (10.7.5) To my iPad2 (6.0.1) via Wi-Fi. I believe All my settings are correct. Device is recognized and sync From iPad is possible.

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 11.0, I can no longer sync Contacts and Calendar from my iMac (10.7.5) To my iPad2 (6.0.1) via Wi-Fi. I believe All my settings are correct. Device is recognized and sync From iPad is possible. Tablet is past warranty, so TechSup won't help. Any suggestions?

Thank you Meta, but I could not get the calendar and contact sync with Gmail to work. Apple support already suggested to use Google or a Windows PC. Maybe I should actually reset and try my old Windows PC. Seriously, ... can this be the solution after a Mac OS update for pure Apple users?

Outlook not sync contacts with changed "file as" field?

I am syncing contacts and calendar from Outlook on my office PC (and everything else from Mac at home). I have a very large contact list and have noticed that a number of key contacts have not synced. It appears that any contacts with a changed "file as" field have not been syned (e.g. contact entry of "Daniel Smith" with "file as" field altered in Outlook to show "Dan Smith" does not show anywhere on iPhone). Needless to say, these are actually the contacts that I use most often so I'm hoping to find a solution.
On a related point, it's hard to determine exactly how many contacts are not syncing b/c I can't find anyplace on the iPhone or in iTunes that lists shows info on the number of contacts (so I can't compare to my count in Outlook).
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Are there any known solutions or work-arounds? (I'm hoping to avoid a full export, clean-up, and import to iPhone through the Mac Address Book or similar b/c I'm concerned that in then trying to sync w/ Outlook I'd get duplicates. Also, my contact list has thousands of contacts so it would be very dedious. My current work-around is to still carry my Treo in my briefcase, which is not ideal).
Thanks in advance for any help.

boynsea: Thanks for the input, but isn't the IMAP aspect of Outlook limited to the way one can connect to an Exchange server for e-mail? I've been successful in getting the IMAP connection for e-mail working. Contacts and calendar are designed to sync when physically docked with the computer rather than over-the-air; I know, if something like exchange activesync is ever licensed for iPhone then the calendar can be updated over-the-air, but I suspect that contacts will always be synced only when docked (which is how my Treo was set up).
Anyway, I did test my theory about the "file-as" field by changing a few contacts back to their default display and now they sync just fine. I really don't want to have to do this for all contacts, and can't actually tell how many are involved since I haven't found anyplace that the number of contacts is listed. Also, does anyone know if there is a readily accessible syncronization log that can be checked? That might show those contacts that are rejected.
Thanks.

Outlook 2011 problem syncing contacts with address book

I am aware that Lion has broken the sync ability of Outlook 2011 with Address Book. Hopefullly this will be fixed at some point.
So my problem is that I have decided to use a workaround to get my Address Book contents into Outlook 2011. I am not concerned with further syncing at this point. I just want to get my addresses into Outlook and hope a better fix is offered at some point.
About the only way I could figure out how to do this was to export my Address Book as vCard. I then imported the vCard file into Gmail and then exported that as a CSV file. It contained 550 addresses. I opened it in Excel and it contained 550 rows. Great so far.
I then Imported into Outlook 2011 and chose import a text file. When the mapping window opened, it showed over 890 files instead of 550 and the fields were not mapped correctly. I could not complete the import because it was so screwed up.
So I'm back to square one and very frustrated. There must be others who have the same issue and maybe have figured out a way to do this. Please help.

Import contact with photo from google

How Do I import contact with photos from google to iCloud?
I uses iPhone6 , 6+ , iPad Air all iOS8.1 and Mac Air Yosemite
I uses google contact with photo all but I need to export all contacts to iCloud but after I imported the photo not have any more. How should I do to import all contact with photo from google?

The thumbnailPhoto attribute is for an octet string, so I can see why that would not work as it should be essentially a byte array (or a binary blob holding the JPG/GIF), and that is what is expected when importing that attribute.

HT1296 Unable to Sync Contacts with Computer

I am having problems with my attempts to upload the Contacts in my iPhone, to my PC/laptop. I'm following a guide which contains screen grabs, but my screen doesn't look like what is shown and so I cannot proceed as I wish to.
I have no option to select 'Sync Contacts With' as the screen I am taken to under the Options Menu has a heading that says Sync Contacts with a box underneath that says:
Your contacts are being synced with your iPhone over the air from Cloud
Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone
There are no boxes to check, whatsoever.
Can anyone help with this, please?
Thanks

You can only sync contacts with one source. You are currently synching with iCloud, so if you want to sync with your computer you will have to turn off iCloud sync.

Deleting contacts or groups from address book impossible

How can I delete contacts or groups from my address book? The corresponding menu items "delete contact" or "delete group" are greyed. Pressing the "delete" buttom only works for contacts. But the deleted contact isn't really erased. There remains an untitled contact at the end of the list that I cannot delete. Not very nice :-(
Does anybody knows some help?

I can't recreate that on my Mac, so I suspect something got corrupted in your preferences.
Quit Contacts.
Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library".
Then go to yor Preferences folder and and drag com.apple.AddressBook.plist to your Desktop.
Relaunch Contacts and test.

What have you tried so far?
Which iOS is your phone running on?
Basic troubleshooting steps.
1) Connect your phone to iTunes; click on your phone's name; Select "sync conatcts with outlook" from the other window.
2) Make sure your outlook is configured to a mail account. If you don't use mail account on outlook, configure it anyhow.
