Add one digit to all phone numbers in AddressBook

Hi, I live in Peru, and here, starting from tomorrow, all mobile phones will have one more digit at the beginning. The number 9.
For example my actual phone number is xxxx-xxxx and tomorrow it will be 9-xxxx-xxxx
Can anyone can figured out a way to change all my contacts mobile phone numbers at one? Maybe using Applescript or Automator.
Thanks

How do you think this might work:
break number into 4 items at the "-"
if (length of 3rd item) is 4 then --a mobile
make item 3 9xxxx
reassemble and rewrite number
or would you prefer the format you show where you put in an extra item 9-?
Is that logic likely to catch anything that should not be changed?

    Hey joshuafromisr,
    If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    or here:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • AppleScript to add "1-" before Address Book phone numbers

    I transferred all my Contacts from another program into OS X's Address Book, all phone numbers begin with the area code. I'd like to add "1-" before every area code. Is there an AppleScript to do this?

    It's certainly possible to do via AppleScript, but you should probably ask your question in the AppleScript Forum if that's the path you want. You'll have a higher success rate there.

  • Why FormBuilder add one digit in the Maximum Length of number items...????

    Hi,
    Why does Form Builder add one digit to the Maximum Length property of number data base block items...????
    For example , if a db column is of datatype number(2)... then this item is represented by 3 digits- not 2- in the Maximum Length....This is true if the data block is created via the block wizard....
    Would it be any problem... if in the above example , i modified the Maximum Length to 2 ...????
    Have you noticied it...????
    Thanks,
    Simon

    In forms the definition of a number items length is the length of how many characters it holds and not how many digits.
    If you have length 4 and you want to set a value of 22.22 it will not accept, since 22.22 is 5 characters 4 numbers and the decimal point. And just like Paul said, if the number is negative then you need one more character for the " - " minus sign.

  • My phone died! if i restore from i tunes is all phone numbers

    my i phone died, if  i restore from i tunes are all phone numbers & information lost?

    If you've been losing your phone as directed, you should have no data loss as you've been making frequent backups and synching your contacts to a cloud service or contact manager application.

  • Iphone deleted all phone numbers when synced with Exchange, Please Help!!

    We recently received new Iphones for the Administrative staff and thought that like other Smartphones we've used in the past that syncing with Exchange would be a breeze. After doing a bit of research everything pointed towards it being a very simple process, this is the process I followed:
    Open up Itunes with Iphone connected
    Click your iPhone in the "Devices" section on the left
    Click the "Info" tab
    In the Contacts section, check "Sync contacts with" and select "Outlook"
    Click "All Contacts"
    Click the "Sync" button in iTunes lower-right corner
    Click "Merge", so that your contacts on your iPhone are preserved
    This seemed to work but there is one major problem, all of the contacts on the Iphone and the ones imported into Outlook no longer have any phone numbers associated to them. The contacts were all synced into Outlook/Exchange no problem with their respective emails but with no phone numbers at all. Unfortunately the computer which had the backup of this Iphone was recently decommissioned so I have no backup of the phone in its previous state.
    Is there any way to recover the old phone numbers/contacts on the phone without having a backup of it in its previous state? I have tried the "Import Sim Contacts" button in the settings on the phone but it doesn't seem to actually do anything. There are over 100 contacts on this particular phone, some of which the phone numbers will be very difficult to retrieve again.
    I have to say that I'm not very impressed that the most popular smartphone out there can't even sync with the largest email platform in the enterprise world properly. If anybody can help me retrieve those numbers some how I would be extremely appreciative.

    Does the Iphone actually support 2-way sync with Outlook properly or will it erase all of the numbers on the phone every time?
    If you are syncing directly with Outlook, there are options in iTunes to determine which set of contacts takes priority when duplicates are found.  Personally I do not use this.  I have my device set up to sync directly with the exchange server so all changes are made directly on the server.
    Personally I would recommend against using Outlook as the intermediary.  You will get much more consistent and reliable results if the iPhone syncs directly with the exchange server and no worries if the end user has not synced the device in days/weeks/months.

  • Not all phone numbers sync from Gmail to iPhone

    Is there a way to control which phone numbers sync from my Gmail Contacts to my iPhone (and vice-versa)?
    A few things I've noticed:
    - only 1 "mobile" number gets synced from gmail to iphone (which is a pain when a contact has mobile numbers is a couple of different countries)
    - a number labled as "other" in gmail doesn't get synced at all to the iphone
    I should mention that I have my Gmail account on my iPhone set up as an "Exchange" account.
    Thanks.

    If you've got Gmail set up as an Exchange account, your options for labels are limited. And, every now and then, I had it randomly relabel things. I'd recommend syncing the contacts through a standard Gmail set up. If you want to keep using your email through Exchange you can do that. Just turn off contacts for that account. When you set up the standard Gmail account (IMAP), only turn on contacts. I've found it works much better.

  • Want to be able to send all phone numbers from computer to cell phone

    Wanting to purchase a new cell phone using Tracfone as service provider and would like to be able to program all names and phone numbers and alarm codes to cell phone using iMac instead of the usual way of pressing all those little buttons on a cell phone....
    It is so monotonous having to key in all those numbers the hard way. On my Nokia for instance if I want an "s" I have to press the 7 key four times and yet another key to get it capitalized. There has to be a better way to do this and I was hoping to use my iMac to program all these numbers in thru firewire, bluetooth or USB Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance for suggestions!

    The Motorola C343 appears to be the only mobile handset offered by Tracfone that is explicitly supported by iSync. Supported devices are listed here by manufacturer name and model:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
    While iSync support synchronization of most Motorola handsets via either Bluetooth or USB, Bluetooth connectivity is not offered with the Motorola C343.

  • When transferring songs from iTunes to phone it was doing it ok then all of a sudden it started to say iTunes cannot pick up information from phone restore to factory settings I am afraid if I do this I will loose all phone numbers pictures and songs anyo

    When transferring music from iTunes to iPhone after about 3 downloads a message come up saying iTunes cannot get information from phone and I should restore phone to factory settings I do not wont to do this because I am worried I will loose all phone contacts ,pictures,and songs anyone know how I can resolve this

    Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data, which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.
    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer and/or there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts and other data over the air such as with an Apple iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
    Photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    In addition, contacts and photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup.

  • OVI don't show all phone numbers

    I have a latest version of OVI Suite, PC Suite and Nokia 2700. In phone I added a contact with 3 phones type "Work" or "Mobile" (not important). But PC Suite and OVI Suite show only first phone number (only 1 phone number in each category/type). In my contact list over 200 records and it is very inconvenient to edit this list in phone, but in PC I can add only 1 phone of each category on 1 contact. How to bypass this limitation?
    Sorry for my English, plz. Thank you.

    THIS IS A BUG starting with IOS7. I wish to god I had waited to upgrade --waited a year.
    I have the same issue, Jeffrey Lee4. My car music system ignores the "show all music" setting and of course it should not. Do I need to actually explain that if you do not want to "show all music" on your phone then you do not want it on your car music system?
    Apple seems unaware of this bug and I don't see it getting fixed anytime soon. The problem is that when I am driving down the road, I do not want to sort through hundreds of songs looking for what is actually on my phone. I don't like taking my eyes off the road that long. I bought an iPhone primarily so I could play my music especially in my car. My iPhone has become just a phone.

  • I can't see phone numbers on web pages in Firefox- sometimes they appear very briefly, sometimes not at all.

    It's not all phone numbers, but a significant number.

    I suspect that an add-on is causing this, try the procedure in the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.
    Do you have Skype installed? Skype include a "number highlighting" option, and it may be malfunctioning and hiding the numbers instead of highlighting them. If you have Skype, try turning this feature off - http://blog.calcoastwebdesign.com/2008/11/how-to-disable-number-highlighting.html
