iPhone Forums - View Single Post - Syncing new contact to iphone sub group automatically...PHEW

hitnrun · 06-30-2009, 03:01 AM

I have three groups set up for my contacts on my iPhone. Work, Personal, and All. All groups is the default, the other two are mine.

Here is the problem. When I create a new contact on my iPhone, it automatically saves it to the All groups directory. It does not give me the choice to sync it to either work or personal. I have to manually do this from either me.com or one of my MobileME enabled computers. If I add several contacts, I occasionally forget to put them into a sub group on one of my computers later on, so they never make it to a sub group on my phone. When I need that new contact, I have to search manually through the hundreds of contacts in ALL Groups just to find the one that I added recently because it was never put into either work or personal. Not the biggest problem in the world, but it seems like there should be a way to fix this.

Does anyone have any suggestions??
