What happened to my groups in contacts in iOS6?

Since iOS6, I cannot select a specific group from my contacts such as "family"
There is only a selection or deselection for a check mark if make the selection.

twice the clicks and back and forth. This is horrible. I wish Apple would stop fixing things that aren't broken. Is there a way to go back to OS5?
they need something to do, they should give a back button to the iphone, so you don't have to go to the menue page every time.
This is not "think different" it is "Think Not"

  • Okay...what happened to the full screen contact picture?

    Okay...what happened to the full screen contact picture? Is there a way to get it back? I'd like to see the full picture of the person I'm  calling-not just an ugly blank screen with little round circles on it!!!!

    I wrote my feedback there. Please everyone leave your feedback. The new 7.1 design is very impractical.
    Why they crave so much about these ugly circles? There are lots of unused space available on the screen.
    Please bring back the big rectangular buttons!!!!!!
    And full-screen contact picture when someone's calling.

  • What happened to the Grouping field in Get Info?

    I asked this question before and was referred to a specialist on the phone that solved the problem by telling me to click on "Add Field" and "Always show current fields."  Grouping was there and was editable.  All worked well ...
    Until today.  Now, clicking on "Always show current fields" results in nothing.  So what happened between 11/13/2014, when I last downloaded books and was able to get Grouping, and today, 11/25/2014, when I no longer can?
    Grouping is essential to my ordering of Book series.  FYI, I use iTunes mostly for Audiobooks of which I have about 700, which is why Grouping is essential to my sorting of series.
    HELP!!!!!

    Thank you so much.  That works just fine.  However, I also just discovered something.  Evidently, at least some of the fields in list view are editable.  By adding Grouping to the columns shown and clicking on the empty field, I was actually able to type whatever I needed into the field.
    I have not yet tried it with other fields, but will do so to see if it works for all fields in the list view.

  • What happened to the labels in Contacts with iOS 6?

    When I choose to add a new contact in my Contacts list, the contact label options are the following: mobile, home, work, home fax, work fax, pager, assistant, car, company main, radio.
    My custom labels are gone, and the option to "Add Custom Label" is not there, either.
    However, when I choose to edit a current contact and try to choose a contact label, the options are as follows: mobile, iPhone, home, work, main, home fax, work fax, other fax, pager, other.
    I also have my custom labels and the option to "Add Custom Label."
    Has anyone else noticed this? If not, try it. You'll see what I mean.
    Battery drainage with iCloud auto-syncing/backing up in the background, iPhone vibrating when choosing an alarm sound, and this...
    How many more bugs does iOS 6 have?

    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19772932?ac_cid=tw123456#19772932
    Look for my posts.
    Back up everything to iCloud. You will have to restore your device, but do NOT "Restore from Backup." You will have to "Setup as New [iDevice]" and then use iCloud to retrieve all your data.
    It's a little inconvenient, but this actually fixed the Contacts labels and battery drainage problems.
    There's some glitch with a direct update to iOS 6 through either Wi-Fi or iTunes. Those are the two problems that this method fixed, at least for me.
    I don't know what other bugs are present in iOS 6, but those were the two that bothered me the most.

  • What happened to the "Group Gripper" in CC 2014?

    This thing in the upper right hand corner of grouped panels used to let you move all the tabs at once time. It was super helpful for redocking a group of panels in a floating window into another window. Now if you want to dock the panels again you have to move each tab individually. There isn't a "Dock Grouped Panels" option in the menu drop down on the individual tabs and I can't seem to find something that functions similarly to the group gripper. It's still mentioned in the AE Help Workspace page.
    This isn't a problem specific to one computer either. My computer at home (Window 8.1), at work (OSX Mountain Lion), as well as a local studio (Windows 8) I've been freelancing all don't have it.
    Is this a bug with the recent UI reskin? Or is this a purposeful change? I hope it isn't because it really eats up my time when I have 5 panels that need to be moved at once.

    Thanks for the quick response. What was the reason behind removing it? And is there any ETA on when it'll return?

  • What happened to custom labels in contacts???

    Prior to loading 4.0.2, I could differentiate between the phone numbers for a given contact by selecting Custom Label and creating a label by name. In this way, multiple mobile phone numbers for a single contact - perhaps a family - could be distinguished by the name the phone number belongs to. With 4.0.2, the ability to create a custom label doesn't appear to be available. Is this functionality gone, or am I doing something wrong.

    Mine is missing also, I went to the Apple store and no body could help me. all my friends still have the custom Label, but I don't.

  • What happened to user/group preferences in lion server?

    I am installing Lion server and using am using the new server admin tools.  The user/groups function is very different than Leopard/Snow Leopard.  Many of the parameters are missing.  We use the group preferences to restrict access to printers.  That function seems to be missing.

    jimshaughn
    The print service has been eliminated from Lion so the old familiar way is gone.
    However if you set up the Profile Manager service and then go to the management website of your server linked in the Server application, I believe you will be able to limit printers to specific users and groups.  I have not implemented it yet, but I do remember seeing those options in there when I began looking at it.  The difficulty with the Profile Manager is that it appears to require that the clients be 10.7.  The new abilities in Profile Manager are actually pretty nice and seem easier to configure than WGM / Server Admin in my cursory review of the settings and options.
    I am moving servers first so for me this is a bit of a challenge for me too since our clients are still 10.6.  I had to bring computers and groups into the OD via WGM which will still cover the old machines.  Control is split until all clients are up to date which is a little frustrating.
    Have you set up the printers on the server itself and then edited the users/groups from WGM on the server itself which may allow you to still add the printers attached directly?  It appears that you can still do that.
    Hope this helps.

  • What happened to individual ringtones for contacts?

    Lost mine in one of the recent upgrades. Is there a way to get them back?

    My phone continiously loses the ringtones that I set for some of my contacts. It goes to default ringtone from these in the phone. I change it back to my ringtone melody for this contact, but it does not save it. Please propose some solutions, because it is really annoying. Thank you

  • What has happened to groups within Contacts?

    I have a set of groups for contacts, Family, Work, Sailing etc. Makes it quick and easy to find the number I want to call. But since upgrade to 6 they no longer function, any ideas?

    I have a similar problem. Since upgrade to OS 6, "Groups" (with the list of appropriate group names) appears on the iPhone, but I can not select one group to have it listed alone. I must deselect all the other groups or else just select "all contacts." I could not tell from the currently posted discussions if you had solved your problem or not, but mine sounds similar.

  • What happens on iCloud (ex. contacts) when multiple family members use the same Apple ID?

    What happens on iCloud when multiple family members use the same Apple ID?  For example if we all choose to use iCloud for contacts, are they all merged together?  We use the same Apple ID so we can use find my iPhone to keep track of the whole family.

    Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
    You can only unravel this by
    1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
    2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
    3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
    4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
    5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
    6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
    Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

  • I updated iOS 7 and my contacts were ok then they suddenly disappeared a few weeks after updating. I have no idea if it has anything to do with iOS 7 but when I email someone the contacts are there. When I open the app they are gone. What happened?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • What happened to my contact list in new iphone OS?

    Yesterday I switched my iPhone 4S from 5.0.1 to 6.1.3 OS, and my contact list vanished. What happened? Can I get it back? 

    You should check the DROID Incredible 2 by HTC section to see if there are similar discussions.

  • TS4036 I have backed up my phone to icloud, photos, music, contacts, but now most of my contacts don't show up on my actual phone, and all I have on the text is a phone number instead of the person's name. What happened?

    I am new to the icloud, and I have a question. I have backed my phone up to icloud, with photos, music, contacts, etc. but now most of my contacts have disappeared on my actual phone, and when someone sends me a text, just a phone number shows up instead of their names. What happened? How do I get all of my contacts back on my phone?

    Do you see all your contacts on a computer at...

  • I just set up my Iphone and I set up Icloud.  Now I don't have my contacts in my phone.  What happened to them?

    I just set up my Iphone and after doing so set up Icloud.  Now I don't have any contacts in my Iphone.  What happened to them?

    If you just set up your iPhone, where did the contacts on your iPhone come from?
    When you manually turned contacts on for over the air syncing with your iCloud account, if the Contacts app had any contacts you should have been provided a merge, replace, or keep prompt.
