It synchronises the ordinary groups. Is there some setting I need to choose or just accept that my smart groups will not be synchronised? 2012-06-23T10:46:58+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/778#3415 Mark Ford info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ There doesn't seem to be. This is irritated me for a while now particularly when I want to email all the folk in one of my Smart Groups from my iPad - just can't do it! 2012-06-23T15:11:01+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/778#3419 Lionel Ogden info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ I wonder if you could export a smart group as v cards and the copy those to your iPad, as a supplement to iCloud sync? 2012-06-24T12:05:53+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/778#3422 Mick Burrell info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ Mobile devices don't have the facility of Smart Groups so I expect that's why they don't sync. However, Lionel, are you saying they don't since from iMac to MacBook? 2012-06-24T17:22:03+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/778#3423 Lionel Ogden info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ I cannot tell whether iCloud syncs to my Macbook because before I signed up to iCloud I had copied an archive of my address book on the iMac to my Macbook which included smart groups and everything else as far as I can tell. However on the iCloud site Smart groups are not shown in Contacts so I suppose they do not sync them between desktop and laptop. 2012-06-25T10:51:26+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/778#3424 Mick Burrell info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ I think this will be because Smart Groups are a setting in the Address Book software running on each individual machine. That setting acts on the data and iCloud only syncs the data not the program settings. 2012-07-26T19:36:16+01:00 https://www.augwessex.org.uk/discussions/view/778#3499 Gordon Clyne info@augwessex.org.uk https://www.augwessex.org.uk/ heard a rumour that this is fixed once you have mountain lion- IOS 6 and an upcoming version hike for all things iCloud, but its only a rumour. personally I won't hold my breath, but it is annoying I grant you.
