[QUOTE="dbm, post: 1644830, member: 184286"] OK, just done a little experiment. If you open the Contacts app on your Mac, you will see a side bar which says 'iCloud' and under that it says 'All iCloud'. If you mouse-over where it says 'iCloud' then a + symbol will appear. Click this and a new group will appear under 'All iCloud'; give it a name like 'active contacts'. You can now drag contacts from your 'All iCloud' list to the new list. The new list is a [u]view[/u] into a subset of your contacts. If you delete a contact from all iCloud it will go from the new group too. If you attempt to delete it from a sub group then the app will ask you to clarify whether you want to delete the contact from iCloud or just remove it from the group. In your iDevice, when you open the contacts app you will now see a 'Groups' option top left. Use this to select the 'active contacts' (or what ever) group to only show that filtered set of contacts. Sorted! [/QUOTE]
