I did this and the group "all on my Iphone" still has all my contacts..... I want my server(outlook) to control the contacts. I was putting new contacts into my phone incorrectly, therefor they were not transfering over to my (outlook). I want to basically merge my Outlook and "all on my iphone" together. Any ideas?
I want the reverse. I've stoped OTA syncing with Exchange (becuse it was a work server) and now I have all my contacts in a local 'From my Mac' group. Unfortunately the SMS app doesn;t want to auto search this, so I want all my contacts back in the 'On my Iphone' default container.
