MacMost Forum / How Do I Add a Group In Mail On iPad 2?

I have a group which I created in address book. When I select it to send an email in Mail on the iPad 2, nothing happens. It just places the name of the group there, but there are no names. If I try to send that Mail, it can’t as there are no names. This works fine on my iMac, but not on an iPad. —–

    Take a good look at the accounts you have on your Mac and iPad, and which ones are set to sync. It may have to do with that.
    For instance, if you have an iCloud account, a Yahoo account and contacts “on my mac” in Address Book, and then those contacts are “on my mac” contacts, but you only sync iCloud contacts to your iPads, then I could see it causing this problem.

    Even once you get that sorted out, it still won’t work. You can’t send emails to everyone in a group just by choosing the group name; doing so within iOS Mail just gives you the list of group members which you then need to add individually. There are third-party apps (some of which are even free) which make this possible.

    Thanks John. Seems to be a problem then with Mail. When I used Outlook, it was a snap to create a group & use that group name. Mac Mail is very painful, even to create a group.
