How do I search all Contacts fields in the Q5 with OS10.2?
Blackberry appear to be advancing backwards with their new Q5 and 10.2 operating system. I originally bought the Blackberry specifically for its ability to search into the notes field of email contacts, which no other phone could do at the time. When the operating system was "upgraded" to OS7 I was disappointed to find out that the Blackberry Search was no longer able to access the Contacts Notes field. But then I discovered the "OldSearch" app. This app replicated the old search functionality and I have been using it on my 9790 quite happily for the past two years. However, when the time came to renew my contract this year I made the BIG MISTAKE of assuming that the Q5 with its OS 10.2 would be a big step forward. I was VERY DISAPPOINTED. Once again the Blackberry search function could not search the notes field of Contacts but, worst of all, OldSearch cannot run on OS 10.2. After four days trying to persevere with the new menu format and combined with the search problem I decided to give up and hand the Q5 back. I have subsequently found out that most cell phones now have the facility to search into the Contacts notes, including the Samsung Galaxy and the iPhone. So, reluctantly, I say bye-bye Blackberry, hello Samsung S4.
So, you're not really asking how to search contacts notes on the device. You just came to tell us you switched to to the S4.
Good luck!

All you have to do is enable iCloud on your phone and turn notes on. They should automatically appear on your phone.

How do you delete all contacts on iPhone 4S? I have tried to sync and end up w/duplicates and now triplicates. 4,000 contacts have now turned into 12,000 contacts!! I "upgraded" to Lion and hate it - it was so much easier before. I managed to delete on MacBook (to start from scratch there), but cannot delete from iphone or ipad. I am so frustrated! Please help
Hi Cynthia! If you are syncing from something like Gmail you can go into the iPhones Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn off contacts. It will ask you if you want to delete them from your phone - just click delete. Exit Settings and turn phone off by power button (not all the way OFF). Then re-open Settings>mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn Contacts back on - This is where you need to be careful - When you turn contacts back on you will be prompted to delete or save the contacts already on your phone. CLICK DELETE. You should now have only your synced contacts on your phone! Hope it helps!

How do I delete all contacts (at one time) from i phone4
Somehow I have gotten mutilple listing in contacts. How do I delete all contacts from I phone and start over?
baprawski,
Is there a particular reason why you want to delete the contacts all at once? The only way you can delete all the contacts all one time would be to wipe the device. This will complete erase all data on the phone including the contacts.
You want to make sure you backup your device uisng the desktop manager. Once you perform the wipe you can then backup your contacts using the desktop manager and just make sure to uncheck the Contacts when backing up so they are not added back to your phone.

im not sure why only a few of my contacts have been synced and not everyone? How do i sync all contacts from my iphone to my ipad? I have synced my phone with Itunes on my laptop.
It's a good idea to backup your Mac Address Book application and iCal Calendars application from each application. This way you can go back and pull out items if you lose something. I do this everyday.

How to I delete all contact on my iPhone at once? These are contacts ABOVE the contact folder that says, "From My Mac."
Someone said create a new empty folder on the computer and sync to that -- didn't work .
Another person said, "Reset information in settings to restore to the default." That would erase ALL of the conetent I have on the phone and I do not want to erase all of the other settings and content from my iPhone -- just the contacts.
There has to be a better way than gong through and deleting one-by-one.Go into Settings...Mail, Calendar and Contacts and siwtch off the Contacts section from the account in question.
The phone should ask you if you want to keep or erase the contacts stored on you phone.
However, if they aren't synched to anything and only exist on your iPhone, you'll have to delete them all one by one -
I have my contacts synced with icloud and exchange. I want all of them to be synced via icloud, I have tried turning contacts off and then clicking merge but that doesn't copy all of them over. How do I transfer all contacts onto my phone and then icloud?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account. -
one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working . May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.
I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

How can i remove all contact at once from ovi?
after synchronise with ovi & my mobile how can i remove all contact from my ovi's contact.
I can remove one by one but i want to remove all at once. how possible??
Solved!
Go to Solution.@tkwcare:
Beware of that method. Restoring your contacts after sync'ing will restore the phone to a state with a timestamp prior to when the sync occurred. Sync'ing again will attempt to bring the phone up to date with the online resource and, in doing so, will delete all the contacts off the phone!

How do you search for a song in the latest version of ITunes??
How do you search for a song in the latest version of ITunes??
Yes this might be the stupidest question ever, but leave it to Apple to make the simplest thing hard.
In EVERY version of Itunes, up until 11, you used to be able to type an artists name, song name, or album into the search field and it would narrow it down so that you can see what you are looking for (in the list below). Now, Itunes tells you that you have music by said artist, yet doesn't list them whatsoever. Furthermore, when you click on the results it doesn't list them for you either.
I'm sure it is some weird setting, but cannot for the life of me find. I cannot name one application that doesn't show a list when you type in the search field. Augh!
Please help.
GYou can choose what it searches and where
