Using "Groups" within "Contacts", Messages and Mail
Why did Apple change in IOS 6 how you now view groups in contacts? Before it was easy, but now it's just plain stupid. Did anybody check this before it was released?
Before when I selected the group I wanted it would then display who was in that group. Now in order to see who is in the group I have to go to groups, de-select the groups I don't want to see and then go back to then view the group/s that are remaining..... dumb dumb dumb. That is dumb! How did this ever get by the review process?
And still you can't send texts by selecting a group, you still have to add each recipient individually and no more than eight recipients. The same goes for mail as well when it comes to adding a group (you can't). Apple, this really can't be that hard to do.... come on, this is suppose to be easy and not tedious.
There's certainly nothing "World Class" about this.
Boblive77,
iTunes usese SyncServices to gather the information on what is available, and to syn the information over.
Often reseting sync history will resolve issues like this. The following article has more information on how to reset sync history:

This article discusses this troubleshooting step more:

Hope this helps,

I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. And some contacts occasionally have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel Mac. A real Mac **** up ! Any ideas ?
Can you drag and drop the attachments visible in the email to the Desktop OK or does that fail ?
Re the sending: Are these recipients on Mac's or PC's as the file type could be an issue, if on Mac's then try setting the Mail Preferences Composing setting to Plain Text not Rich Text and see if that improves things. -
I just purchased an Iphone and love it except I'm surprised and annoyed that there is no way to create a group within contacts. I coach a youth basketball team and routinely want to fire off a mass email or text to the same group. Am I missing something?
When I click on my contacts icon on my phone there is a Groups choice in the upper left hand corner. Make sure you are in All Contacts and not a specific person.

Hi Everyone
Would like to check if it is possible to let my app show up togather with message and mail app when the user clicks on "share contact" from their contact edit.
Thanks in advance.Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button

Retina macbook pro 2012Dear Al
Thanks for your reply.
I have just found out what's wrong. I went to the 'more info' section of my Chitchat application and it took me to a link where it explained that Yahoo Chat has ditched chatting with the Java protocol and chatters can now only chat via the Yahoo Messenger protocol, which is Yahoo Instant Messenger with Voice. Unfortunately Yahoo doesn't provide a platform for Yahoo Voice for Macintosh computers. Though the original link I went to provides another link to a thing called 'Adium' from which a Mac can access Yahoo Chat's new protocol, although it's not fully developed yet.
Oh...and thanks so much for letting me know about the Java update release. I did not know that I have to upgrade my system first to recieve the latest update information.

How do you create new groups within Contacts on the iPad?
Can you create new groups within Contacts directly from the iPad, iPhone,or do you have to do it on the computer first?
The easiest way is to get the app called group e mail. There are a couple of others as well. There is a way to do it on your computer, and sync it, but I find that personally frustrating. :). Save yourself the aggrevation, and get the app, that works pretty well.

The hard disc of my laptop has crashed and i lost all the data. Now I want to take back up of my I phone and transfer contacts , messages and music etc back into my laptop , how can I do that. Also let me know how I can transfer the contacts into Windows contacts from I phone. Pl help
Your content will only be where you put it. It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. You should get the option to merge the data when you sync. -
Gestures in IOS7 for messages and mail
The new ios7 features gestures in message and mail is not working for me . I am using 4s. I can't travel through using gestures.Can anyone provide a fix ?
Not helpful at all, but I probably should have been more specific. I'm trying to figure out how to use the custom gestures. Do they do anything more than just trace specific shapes on the screen? For example, can you make a gesture that will open your photos or mail app without having to back out of the app you're in? Or to close the app you're in without using multitasking?

Can't receive messages but I can send them to people without iphones i uses to get their messages and then i just stopped receiving them i cant even receive a message to check my data
Hi Tnolen15,
If you are having issues sending or receiving messages from a specific contact (in this case, your wife), you may find this portion of the following article helpful (ignore the numbering):
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.

I've different contact info and mail addresses on my pc (windows xp), iPhone and iPad, using gmail. I get different results when synchronizing with iTunes.
What is synchronized where, and in which direction? Which unit will have to be correct before syncing?All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

Backup contacts & messages and restore on new iphone with another computer
Dear,
My brother gifted me iphone-4 which was in his use, he has no music, videos even not much photos. But he has much contacts and messages also messages on viber.
I made backup by iTune and also copied the backup folder from mobilesync from my computer. the backup is just only about 256MB.
If i email him this backup folder or give on flash drive, Can he restore on his new iphone-4 or iphone-5 ?
please advice me in this regard that the itune backup include contacts & messages and can be restored on new mobile with another computer.
Thanks.Hey shoaibadil,
Thanks for the question, and congratulations on the iPhone gift.
It sounds like you are doing everything correct, however I suggest that you backup your iPhone, and restore his iPhone with the backup at the same time (instead of emailing). The backup file is probably too big to email to your brother. You could also use iCloud to accomplish this:
Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

Is it impossible to use group within choice ?
I am trying to do the following:
<xs:group name = "attrib_val_group">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="attrib"/>
<xs:element ref="value"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:group>
<xs:group name = "attrib_attrib_group">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref = "attrib"/>
<xs:element ref = "attrib"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:group>
<xs:element name="coroprate">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice>
<xs:group ref="attrib_val_group"/>
<xs:group ref="attrib_attrib_group"/>
</xs:choice>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
The problem is that during parsing the parser shouts on:
<coroprate>
<attrib>..</attrib>
<attrib>..</attrib>
</coroprate>
While the parser does accept:
<coroprate>
<attrib>..</attrib>
<value>..</value>
</coroprate>Modify group attrib_attrib_group.
<xs:group name = "attrib_attrib_group">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref ="attrib" maxOccurs="2" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:group>
